Chapter 341: Punishing the Scum

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Chong saw that Gu Qingcheng’s expression didn’t show any guilt, and he frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly.

He couldn’t help but look at Chu He, wondering if Gu Tianhao really had an accidental fall.

Chu He, seeing Qin Chong’s look, immediately spoke up. “Don’t talk nonsense. You never stay at home. The night your father had an accident, the housemaid saw him fall down the stairs. How can you baselessly accuse someone of pushing your father?”

Before Gu Qingcheng could respond, Chu He pinched her own thigh hard, forcing out two tears.

“Qingcheng, I know you’ve always disliked me. You can bully me all you want usually, but today is not the place for your antics at the board meeting,” she said, feigning weakness and crying. “There are many decisions to be made at the board meeting. Although I’m not very capable, Qin Ye, your father’s best friend, will help me handle the company’s affairs. That way, when your father wakes up, the company won’t be in chaos. So, I beg you, let me handle the company’s affairs first. When we go back, you can treat me however you like.”

Suddenly, Chu He put on a weak facade, seemingly pleading with Gu Qingcheng in front of everyone but actually implying that Gu Qingcheng had always been arrogant and bullied Chu He.

Gu Qingcheng watched Chu He’s performance, completely unbothered. After all, this wasn’t the first time Chu He had turned against her.

She came to Gu Corporation today, determined to take control, not considering

Chu He a threat at all.

“Miss Gu bullying Mrs. Gil!” people began to whisper. “Would Mr. Gu allow such a thing?

“I’m not sure about the Gu family’s affairs, but everyone knows Miss Gu is not favored. She couldn’t possibly have the power to bully Chu He.

“Are you suggesting Chu He is lying?

“I can’t say for sure. Even a judge would find it hard to rule on family matters. It’s not our place to get involved.

“Regardless of her lack of favor, Gu Qingcheng is still the young mistress of the Gu family, and she’s also the president of Royal Dance Academy and a classical dancer. You shouldn’t underestimate her just because she’s young. She must have some ability to achieve such high accomplishments. It’s entirely possible for Gu Qingcheng to bully Chu He.”

Hearing these words, Chu He was pleased that people believed Gu Qingcheng could bully her.

Qin Chong, hearing this, seized the moment to speak to Gu Qingcheng: “Qingcheng, your aunt didn’t intend to meddle in the company’s affairs. It’s just that your father once told me that if anything happened to him, your aunt should temporarily manage the company to prevent any issues.”

He sighed meaningfully, adding, “Qingcheng, your aunt has sacrificed so much for this family. Don’t hurt her anymore.”

Gu Qingcheng knew Qin Chong was shameless, but she didn’t expect him to blatantly lie.

She finally understood why Huo Sicheng didn’t let Qin Chong die. People like him should live, tormented by illness until death.

Gu Tianhao wouldn’t be stupid enough to say that Chu He should take over Gu Corporation.

She didn’t believe these words, but outsiders, unaware of the intricacies, would definitely believe Qin Chong, Gu Tianhao’s brother.

“You said my father mentioned letting Chu He temporarily take over the company in case something happened. Why would he say that out of the blue?” she asked, raising her voice with a pointed look at Qin Chong and Chu He. “Did he already know someone was plotting against him, and that’s why he told you this?”

Qin Chong, who was initially helping Chu He against Gu Qingcheng, was shocked by her question.

Caught off guard.

Gu Qingcheng lightly shifted the topic onto him, making it seem like he coveted Gu Corporation and harmed Gu Tianhao.

He wouldn’t let Gu Qingcheng humiliate him and immediately replied, “Your dad said this five years ago. It can’t be related to his recent accident. If he was

going to have an accident, it would have happened five years ago. So don’t

jump to conclusions.”

“I’m not jumping to conclusions.” Gu Qingcheng took out her phone.

“Everything requires evidence, and I have evidence that my father was pushed down the stairs.”

Chu He, seeing Gu Qingcheng take out her phone, forgot to cry in shock.

Every time Gu Qingcheng used her phone, she would fiercely discredit her. The scariest part was that Gu Qingcheng seemed confident that someone had pushed Gu Tianhao.

She hadn’t pushed Gu Tianhao. The maid told her that he had fallen accidentally, so Gu Qingcheng couldn’t possibly have evidence.

“Evidence?” Chu He watched Gu Qingcheng. “Then show it. I want to see where you got this evidence that Tianhao was pushed.”

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Chu He and walked over to connect her phone to the projector.

The phone video played, showing a man and a woman, two servants, chatting under a garden rockery.

The man said, “I didn’t expect the master to fall. He’s still in critical condition. I heard from Aqin that when the mistress was notified, she wasn’t surprised at all that the master fell from the sixth floor.”

The woman gasped, “Could it be that the mistress pushed the master?”

The man replied, “I don’t know. But I heard that the mistress was pleading painfully in the master’s study earlier, something about a divorce.”

The woman exclaimed, “Divorce? Are the master and mistress getting a divorce?”

The man said, “I’m not sure. But they were the only two in the study. Who else could it be if not them?”

The woman commented, “Men from wealthy families are heartless. They all like young and beautiful women. It’s not surprising that the mistress got dumped at her age.”

The man agreed, “Yes, I heard that the former mistress, Mu Xia, was also discarded by the master. No, it was more like the master was seduced by Chu

He, forcing him to marry her and driving Mu Xia to death, allowing her to enter the Gu family.”

As the servants’ gossip played, everyone in the meeting room turned to look at

Chu He.

Chu He didn’t expect the servants to talk behind her back, portraying her as a vicious woman who married into the Gu family by driving Mu Xia to death. She was furious!

How did Gu Oingcheng get this video?

Gu Qingcheng watched Chu He’s stunned face, continuing to view the video.

She hadn’t seen this video either, as it was just sent to her by Lu Chi in an email, with a brief explanation of the situation.

The video recorded by Lu Chi’s people gave her the courage and confidence not to involve Huo Sicheng.

In the video, the man continued, “Chu He is really vicious. After becoming the

mistress of the Gu family, not only did she drive Gu Qingcheng out, but she

also let her daughter, Gu Mei, take the place of the young mistress.”

The woman said, “Speaking of Gu Mei, did you hear? I heard from Da Biao in the kitchen that Gu Mei’s face is disfigured, covered in rashes, and swollen like a pig. Absolutely ugly.”

The man replied, ” I heard about that. Now Chu He is constantly looking for doctors to treat Gu Mei. And I heard from those who bathe Gu Mei that her body emits a foul stench. Ugly and disgusting.”

The woman remarked, “Wealthy families are so chaotic. With the master in the hospital, Chu He has the final say at home.”

The man said, “Let me tell you a shocking secret, but don’t spread it around.”

The woman asked, “What is it?”
