Chu He ignored Qi Shaoze and walked straight to the door.

Qi Shaoze, with a fierce look in his peach-blossom eyes, quickly followed her to the door.

As Chu He opened the door, Qi Shaoze quickly closed it with a swift motion.

“Chu He…” his eyes piercing like knives, he asked her sharply, “What are you planning to do?”

Chu He, seeing the door closed by Qi Shaoze, smirked mockingly.

She looked up into Qi Shaoze’s grey eyes.

It was undeniable that Qi Shaoze, a mixed-race individual, was very handsome and came from a good background. It was an honor for Gu Mei to fancy him, and she liked having such a powerful son-in-law.

However, Qi Shaoze’s selfishness displeased her. Staring into his eyes, she coldly sneered, asking word by word, “Are you afraid I’ll go to Gu Qingcheng and reveal our alliance?”

Qi Shaoze’s eyes turned icy to the extreme. Chu He’s words felt like a knife at his throat, suffocating and frightening him.

He couldn’t let Gu Qingcheng know about his involvement, even though Gu Mei had assured him she wouldn’t reveal his presence to anyone.

Yet today, he found Chu He here, which meant Gu Mei had broken her promise of not disclosing his existence, making him extremely nervous about Gu Mei being threatened by Gu Qingcheng into revealing his name.

If Gu Qingcheng found out about him, all his efforts would be in vain.

Given Gu Qingcheng’s temperament, she would never let him off.

At the moment, Gu Mei must keep silent about Gu Qingcheng!

Seeing Qi Shaoze’s changing expression and silence, Chu He’s face was full of sarcasm.

“Qi Shaoze, don’t worry, I’m planning to see Gu Qingcheng,” she mocked, staring at him, “But rest assured, I won’t reveal your existence to Gu Qingcheng. I’ll take all the blame to protect you and Xiao Mei.”

Before Qi Shaoze could speak, she added, “What you need to do now is leave here quickly. Otherwise, if Gu Qingcheng sees you after I’ve calmed her down, then don’t blame us for betraying you. In fact, it would be you who betrayed us. If we die, we’ll drag someone down with us, and you certainly don’t want to be that person, do you?”

Qi Shaoze was relieved to hear Chu He was willing to take the blame for kidnapping Gu Qingcheng.

But Chu He’s sudden mention of dragging him down with them ignited his fury.

Chu He, fearless, mockingly said, “What are you waiting for, Young Master Qi? Why not sneak out through the back door? Do you really want Gu Qingcheng to catch you red-handed?”

Qi Shaoze’s forehead veins bulged, wanting to deal harshly with Chu He.

Except for Gu Qingcheng, no one dared to insult him so blatantly. But under the current circumstances, he couldn’t deal with Chu He; without her, no one could calm Gu Qingcheng.

He endured Chu He’s mockery, raised his hand to open the door, and prepared to leave.

“Young Master Qi, remember, you owe us mother and daughter today,” Chu He spoke appropriately as Qi Shaoze was about to leave, “In the future, you’d better treat my daughter well and trust us more. If our boat sinks, it’s bad for everyone. I hope Young Master Qi understands the situation and doesn’t make a small mistake that leads to a bigger loss.”

Qi Shaoze’s steps froze, his gaze cold and displeased as he glanced at Chu He.

“Chu He, don’t go too far.”

“Me, going too far?” Chu He snorted coldly, “When you insulted my daughter, why didn’t you think you were going too far?”

Qi Shaoze immediately understood Chu He’s sarcasm was in defense of Gu Mei.

He didn’t care about Chu He at all; his only concern was Gu Qingcheng.

He was relieved to know Gu Qingcheng was unharmed; now, the most important thing was to protect himself.

“You think taking the blame will threaten me?” he closed the half-open door, his eyes full of coldness, “Don’t think I don’t know about your issues with Qingcheng. You were already crushed by Gu Qingcheng, left with nothing. Your daughter Gu Mei approached me because you both were desperate.”

Chu He was startled, her eyes involuntarily shifting to the closed door.

“In your desperate situation, I helped you both. You deserve to be humiliated by me, yet you dare to use this incident to threaten me. I won’t give you a chance,” Qi Shaoze said arrogantly, sitting on the sofa with a hint of ruffianism, “In this world, besides Gu Qingcheng, no one can threaten me. You and your daughter are not in a position to negotiate with me!”

Chu He intended to stand up for Gu Mei but was caught off guard by Qi Shaoze’s retort, leaving her flustered.

She had thought Qi Shaoze was afraid of being discovered by Gu Qingcheng, but now, with Qi Shaoze sitting down and clearly not planning to leave, he was risking being discovered.

His behavior was like a broken jar, breaking further. If his good relationship with Gu Qingcheng was ruined, then she and her daughter would lose their only source of help. Qi Shaoze would also resent her for her unguarded threats today.

The days ahead would hold no good for her.

NO!

She couldn’t let her words ruin Gu Mei’s plans.

At that moment, she regretted her talkativeness and knew she had to lower her head to Qi Shaoze to get through this crisis.

“Young Master Qi…” she switched to a flattering tone, hastily approaching him, “Don’t be angry, I was wrong earlier. It was my fault for speaking out of turn. Please, don’t be upset, leave this to me. I’ll protect Young Master Qi, and we’ll cooperate well in the future.”

Qi Shaoze looked at the hypocritical Chu He in front of him and coldly smiled, “Wrong? How could you, Mrs. Gu, ever be wrong? You’re not wrong, and you’re not vile. Rest assured, I’m not leaving. I’ll sit right here and wait for Gu

Qingcheng to come to me.”

Chu He’s flattering expression froze on her face.

Her mind was in turmoil, fearing the loss of Qi Shaoze.

Endure.

If her daughter Gu Mei could endure, so could she.

Surviving now meant a chance for revenge later. First, kill Huo Sicheng, then Gu Qingcheng, and eventually Qi Shaoze must die!

“Young Master Qi, I was wrong, please forgive me,” she said in a panic, lightly patting her face as if slapping herself, “Young Master Qi, please be magnanimous and forgive me.”

Qi Shaoze looked at her coldly, “I can forgive you.’

Chu He immediately saw an opportunity and eagerly asked, “Young Master Qi, tell me, what can I do to make amends?”

Qi Shaoze’s gaze remained sharp and cold, saying nothing.

Chu He, anxious, feared Gu Qingcheng would harm Gu Mei. After all, Gu Qingcheng could resort to any vicious means, and she couldn’t let Gu Mei suffer any more harm.

Of course, she also feared the reckless Qi Shaoze causing further trouble.

“Young Master Qi, please speak,” she urged Qi Shaoze again, “I know I was wrong, and I won’t make you angry again with inappropriate words.. Please, tell me what I can do to appease you?”
