Gu Qingcheng frowned.

She had not expected Chu He to brazenly frame her for killing Gu Tianhao.

Gu Tianhao was a despicable man, and she wished she could kill him herself. However, she would not kill Gu Tianhao; she wanted to slowly torment him to death.

She suppressed her hatred for Gu Tianhao and focused on dealing with Chu He.

“Even a tiger does not eat its cubs. As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, how could I possibly kill my own biological father?” she said, looking at the high-ranking board member who had questioned her but addressing Chu He, “Gu Tianhao has always treated me well. I have no reason to kill him.”

Chu He immediately retorted, “I said, you’re doing this to gain control of Gu

Corporation and become its chairman.”

“Why would I want to be the chairman of Gu Corporation?” Gu Qingcheng asked Chu He, “I’m the principal of the Imperial Arts Academy and a dancer. I have my own career. Why would I want to be the chairman of Gu Corporation?” Chu He was momentarily stumped by Gu Qingcheng’s response. Since she had openly framed Gu Qingcheng, even if she lost, she could not let Gu Qingcheng have her way and continued to slander her.

“You have been brooding over Tianhao marrying me for years. In order to get revenge on me, you deliberately pushed your father down the stairs, intending to kill him. Fortunately, your father survived but has been in a coma for three days, and it’s still uncertain whether he will live or die. You immediately came to the corporation to seize power. I won’t let you take away Gu Corporation.

This is your father’s hard work. I love your father, and I won’t let you succeed.”

“Indeed…” Gu Qingcheng nodded in agreement, “What you said is logical and makes sense.”

Chu He was stunned. She had framed Gu Qingcheng, and Gu Qingcheng was agreeing that her reasoning was sound?

Was Gu Qingcheng admitting defeat?

Qin Chong knew Chu He was framing Gu Qingcheng. After all, if Gu Qingcheng had wanted to kill Gu Tianhao, she would have done it long ago.

Moreover, Gu Tianhao was alive thanks to Gu Qingcheng. Otherwise, Huo Sicheng would have killed everyone.

He saw that Chu He was desperate and began to viciously attack Gu Qingcheng. Given this, he couldn’t let Chu He fight alone.

“Qingcheng, are you admitting that you pushed your father?” He feigned shock, “My God, how could you do such a horrible thing? That’s your father. How could you, how could you do this!”

“Did I admit that I pushed Gu Tianhao?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Qin Chong, who was helping Chu He frame her, with a half-smile, “As I said, everything depends on evidence. Since Chu He claims I pushed Gu Tianhao, I will provide evidence to prove that I did not.”

“Chu He, you say you didn’t push Gu Tianhao. You also need to provide evidence.” She looked at Chu He, “So now, both Chu He and I are suspects in pushing Gu Tianhao, meaning neither of us has the right to act as the temporary chairman of Gu Corporation.”

Chu He was stunned.

Had Gu Qingcheng gone mad? She was actually admitting she wasn’t qualified to temporarily take over as chairman of Gu Corporation?

She couldn’t wrap her head around what Gu Qingcheng was doing.

Gu Qingcheng had come to Gu Corporation today to prevent her from becoming chairman and to ensure she herself would become the chairman.

Why?

Why would Gu Qingcheng give up on taking over Gu Corporation?

At this moment, Qin Chong glanced at the bewildered Chu He, then looked at the composed Gu Qingcheng and frowned.

Gu Qingcheng was single-handedly trying to remove Chu He from the chairman’s position, aiming to position Huo Sicheng as chairman.

Chu He was really foolish. He had already told her, but she still couldn’t grasp it.

“Qingcheng…”

As soon as Qin Chong started to speak, Gu Qingcheng didn’t give him the chance to continue, as it was her time to perform.

“But rest assured, uncles and elders, I will provide evidence to prove I haven’t harmed my father. At the same time, Chu He must also present evidence of her innocence. My sister, Gu Mei, is critically ill and cannot take over as chairman. Therefore…

As she spoke, she walked step by step towards Huo Sicheng.

“For this reason, I nominate my husband, Huo Sicheng, as the temporary chairman of Gu Corporation.”

The entire board of directors exploded in shock. Everyone looked at Gu

Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, not expecting them to be a married couple.

“Is this true? Miss Gu and President Huo are married?”

“How would I know? This is the first time I’ve heard of this.

“Gu Qingcheng is the eldest daughter of the Gu family. I knew about her breakup with Qin Jun, the son of the Qin Corporation, but I never heard of her getting married. Is this true or false?”

“Gu Qingcheng, after all, is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, the number one socialite in Jiang City. Would she really marry a disabled Huo Sicheng? I think she’s lying.”

“Right, she’s a healthy, beautiful woman. How could she marry a disabled person like Huo Sicheng?”

People were whispering among themselves, doubting the authenticity of Gu Qingcheng’s marriage.

Gu Qingcheng looked calmly at the shocked faces of these people.

Her marriage with Huo Sicheng was a secret, known only to Qin Chong and Chu He, aside from themselves.

Chu He and Qin Chong certainly wouldn’t want to announce that she and Huo Sicheng were husband and wife, as it would suggest that Huo Sicheng wouldn’t align with Qin Chong and Chu He.

She had not openly declared her marriage because she had her own plans.

First, she gave Chu He hope, then crushed it. This was the most torturous approach. She wanted Chu He to despair!

Now that she had made her marriage public, she had resolved Chu He’s problem and eliminated all unfavorable factors.

She gave Huo Sicheng a reason that would not be gossiped about by outsiders and that he could rightfully and openly assume the position of temporary chairman of Gu Corporation.

Huo Sicheng’s pupils constricted when Gu Qingcheng announced their marriage in front of the board of directors.

Like everyone else, he couldn’t believe that Gu Qingcheng had made their marriage public.

Did she realize what she was doing?

Once their marriage was public, these executives would definitely spread the news. Their marriage would become widely known.

What about Qi Shaoze?

Didn’t she care about Qi Shaoze anymore?

Although he did not know her intentions, he was more than happy that Qi Shaoze might become jealous.

She had made their marriage public. She was finally willing to acknowledge their relationship. She was his, and he was hers.

He was happy, extremely happy.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Huo Sicheng. Although his expression was cold and emotionless, his hands on the armrests were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

She knew he was trying his best to contain his emotions. The slight smile on his lips told her he was happy about their public acknowledgment.

Actually, she didn’t care about being called a cuckold because of Ji Sisi. She had long awaited this day.

She wanted everyone to know that Huo Sicheng belonged to her, that she was his wife, and he was hers!

At that moment, a board member sitting next to the chairman’s empty seat came to his senses. He looked at Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng in shock, then turned to Qin Chong.

“Chairman Qin, is this true?” he asked.. “Are Miss Gu and President Huo really married? Are they husband and wife?”
