Gu Qingcheng smiled at Ji Sisi's confused question.
How could she not smile?
From the birthday party, when she dumped the scumbag Qin Jun and married Huo Sicheng until today, she didn't feel any kindness from him or anyone around him.
Back at Wanmei Villa, Mr. Zhao had always talked about Miss Gu. He had made it clear to her that even if she married Huo Sicheng, he would never acknowledge her as his wife.
Chu Yu witnessed her and Huo Sicheng getting married.
He saw Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi together, but not only did he stay mum, but he even stopped her from entering the office.
She knew that Chu Yu, as the CEO's assistant, had more authority than Ji Sisi. He had the right to forbid Ji Sisi from entering Huo Sicheng's office.
However, he didn't stop them and allowed Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi to get together.
She wasn't stupid. She understood that Chu Yu and the others seemed to be friendly to her on the surface, but in reality, everyone didn't like her. It was just that she couldn't afford to offend them due to her status.
She didn't blame Mr. Zhao and Chu Yu for this because she knew very well that she didn't treat Huo Sicheng well in her previous life, which caused them to dislike her.
In her previous life, her principle in life was to be loyal to herself and not change herself for anyone.
As a woman, she couldn't be submissive. Instead, she had to be strong and take control of her own life.
Now, she was trying to change for Huo Sicheng, and it would take time for her to change. She could not let them see her change in a day or two.
So when Chu Yu stopped her, she wasn't angry at him. She wasn't even angry at Ji Sisi.
Because it took two to tango, Huo Sicheng didn't give Ji Sisi a chance. No matter how hard she tried, it was useless.
In the end, she was angry at Huo Sicheng.
"Huo Sicheng and I are married," she said to Ji Sisi. "You seduced my man right in front of me. Tell me, who's the one who went overboard?"
Ji Sisi was shocked and ashamed.
Gu Qingcheng stepped on Huo Sicheng's leg even harder, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Her voice was cold and sweet.
"Huo Sicheng, you've embarrassed your woman, Ji Sisi. You deserve to die!"
The pain in his leg made Huo Sicheng's eyes flash with pain.
Even in this pain, he didn't push Gu Qingcheng away and let her do whatever she wanted to him.
His slanted eyes swept over Ji Sisi, taking in her sorry state.
That night, Gu Qingcheng was hugging another man by the lake. If he had appeared in front of her, Gu Qingcheng would have been as embarrassed as Ji Sisi was now.
However, compared to her embarrassment and her indifference towards him, he was the one who was hurt the most.
At the thought of this, he looked at Ji Sisi with a meaningful gaze.
Just as Ji Sisi was feeling ashamed, she was shocked when she met Huo Sicheng's eyes.
"Married? Ha..." She looked at Gu Qingcheng and said angrily, "Everyone knows that Miss Gu's boyfriend is Qin Jun, the eldest son of the Qin family. And you're always enemies with President Huo. Who would believe you if you said you were going to get married? I think you're just deliberately causing trouble!"
Gu Qingcheng stared at Ji Sisi with a smile in her eyes. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but it was sharp and cold.
"Ji Sisi, if you don't know how to talk, then shut up. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson."
She didn't bring her marriage certificate with her. Even if she did, Ji Sisi wasn't worthy to look at it.
Ji Sisi was frightened by Gu Qingcheng's vicious tone. She glanced at Huo Sicheng, then straightened her back and faced Gu Qingcheng.
"Deal with me? Don't think that just because you're the eldest daughter of the Gu family, you can lie and bully others. You're in a relationship with Young Master Qin while saying that you're going to marry President Huo. You're a typical two-timing sl*t!"
Gu Qingcheng's suppressed anger was ignited by the word 'sl*t.'
If she did anything wrong to Huo Sicheng, she would not have the pride to settle the score with him today.
After all, she was the one who had an affair first. She had no right to appear here.
Moreover, she had never done anything like two-timing, and she would never do such a sl*tty act in her life. On the contrary, Huo Sicheng was a scumbag who was two-timing.
She had already given Ji Sisi the dignity to leave.
Since Ji Sisi didn't need her leeway, she deserved a beating!
She retracted her leg and turned to look at Ji Sisi. Without saying a word, she walked toward her.
Ji Sisi stood a few steps away from Gu Qingcheng, and she could feel the weight of Gu Qingcheng's body pressing down on her like a mountain.
She was instantly drenched in cold sweat, feeling the fear of imminent disaster.
"You... Don't come over..." She warned Gu Qingcheng in a trembling voice. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng didn't stop, she quickly turned to Huo Sicheng. "Mr. Huo… Help…"
Gu Qingcheng was already standing in front of Ji Sisi. She raised her hand and aimed it at Ji Sisi's face.
However, her palm did not land on Ji Sisi's face. Instead, her wrist was held by a slender hand with well-defined joints.
She looked over and saw Huo Sicheng's face full of anger. His grip on her wrist was so strong that it seemed like he wanted to break her wrist.
It hurt.
The heart-wrenching pain could not compare to her heartache.
Huo Sicheng glared at Gu Qingcheng coldly. His thin lips parted, and his voice was as sharp as a knife. "Don't touch my woman."
Gu Qingcheng had already been angered by Ji Sisi, and now that Huo Sicheng had said that he would protect Ji Sisi, her anger erupted like a volcano. Lava engulfed her entire body, and even her pores were burning with rage.
What a good woman not to touch him.
She had touched Ji Sisi, so what could he do to her?
She gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Huo Sicheng, let go!"
"I'm here. I won't let you hurt Ji Sisi." Huo Sicheng's attitude was firm, and he tightened his grip on Gu Qingcheng's wrist.
At that moment, Chu Yu was relieved to see Gu Qingcheng angry.
This was because Gu Qingcheng looked like a normal person to him. Gu Qingcheng, who had been calm earlier, was acting strangely.
"What are you waiting for? Do you want to be beaten to death by Gu Qingcheng?" He stepped forward and pulled Ji Sisi towards the door, whispering, "Hurry up and leave."
Ji Sisi was so frightened that her entire body was trembling. She looked both pathetic and pitiful.
She looked nervously at Huo Sicheng, who was confronting Gu Qingcheng, and said, "I can't leave. President Huo will be in danger if I leave."
Chu Yu had already dragged Ji Sisi out of the office and into the elevator. "You don't have to worry. Even if Gu Qingcheng demolishes the entire Huo Corporation today, President Huo won't stop her."
"What do you mean? Huo Corporation is Mr. Huo's blood and sweat," Ji Sisi asked Chu Yu, puzzled. "What right does Gu Qingcheng have to destroy the Huo Corporation? President Huo won't allow her to do that."
"You don't know anything." Chu Yu pushed Ji Sisi into the elevator. I'll give you a week off. "Rest well at home. Remember, don't come to the company without my notice. Otherwise, don't blame me if you lose your life."
Ji Sisi asked Chu Yu in confusion, "Mr. Chu, what do you mean I don't know anything? Tell me, what happened?"
Chu Yu didn't answer Ji Sisi. He just watched the elevator door close.
Ji Sisi's question echoed in his ears, and he muttered to himself with a complicated look in his eyes, "Because if President Huo really wanted to stop Gu Qingcheng, he wouldn't have let her enter Huo Corporation. That's why Gu Qingcheng was able to come to Mr. Huo's office and make a scene without stopping him. That means that no matter what, her place in Mr. Huo's heart will never be replaced."
Then, he looked in the direction of the CEO's office and quickly walked over with worry in his eyes…
At that moment, in the office, Gu Qingcheng saw that not only was Huo Sicheng protecting Ji Sisi, but Chu Yu was also protecting Ji Sisi as they led her away. Jealousy burned in her heart as she tried to break free from Huo Sicheng's grip, but he tightened his grip on her.
"Let me go!" she shouted at him.
"Gu Qingcheng, haven't you had enough? Stop causing a scene!" Huo Sicheng snapped.
"Causing a scene?" Gu Qingcheng was so angry that she was completely under control. "Who's messing with you?! I'm here to teach you a lesson. I'm here to teach you that since you're my man, you should know that you have to pay the price for cheating on me!"
Unable to retract her hand, she raised her leg and kicked Huo Sicheng in the chest.
With a thud, Huo Sicheng's chair fell to the ground.
The piercing pain in his chest made him groan in pain.
Gu Qingcheng didn't give Huo Sicheng a chance. She bent down and grabbed his tie. They were only a piece of paper apart, and their eyes met.
"Huo Sicheng, your woman can only be me, Gu Qingcheng! You are my person in life and my soul in death. There's no divorce between us, only widowhood." She warned him fiercely, "So if you dare to have any contact with Ji Sisi again, I'll break your limbs and cripple you. Do you hear me?"
