Chapter 395: Seducing and Climbing into the Bed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Mei saw Gu Qingcheng lying on the ground, her face deathly pale, looking as if she had passed out.
She wished that Gu Qingcheng was already dead, but she knew that Gu Qingcheng wasn’t dead and that she couldn’t anger Qi Shaoze.
“Shaoze, what are you talking about? Gu Qingcheng is my own sister, how could I do anything to her?” She said with a face full of grievance, “My sister is very scheming. She had discovered the camera earlier and cursed me in front of it, insisting that I kidnapped her.”
Chu He, standing aside like she was invisible to Qi Shaoze, saw that he misunderstood Gu Mei and hurriedly tried to smooth things over in her eagerness as a loving mother.
“Master Qi, Mei and Qingcheng are sisters, she wouldn’t hurt Qingcheng, you’re misunderstanding Mei.” She paused and then added, “Qingcheng is cunning, she’s definitely pretending to be unconscious now to trick us into opening the door, and once we do, she could kill Mei.”
Qi Shaoze turned his attention to Chu He when he heard her.
Gu Mei quickly explained, “Shaoze, this is my mother.”
Qi Shaoze had met Chu He and Gu Mei on the day of the Peach Blossom Cup, so he recognized Chu He.
He glanced at Chu He and then turned to the monitor. Gu Qingcheng was still lying on the floor, her pale complexion tugging at his heartstrings.
“You said Qingcheng cursed at you through the camera earlier?” He looked at Gu Mei, “Are you sure?”
Gu Mei affirmed, “Yes, my sister cursed at me earlier, and I was very upset.” Qi Shaoze believed what Gu Mei said.
Gu Qingcheng’s personality was fiery. If she was kidnapped, it was definitely by Gu Mei. Fortunately, she was locked in a room cursing at Gu Mei. If Gu Mei were in front of Gu Qingcheng, she would have beaten Gu Mei to death.
“Since she already suspects you kidnapped her, go in and see what’s going on.” He walked towards the door, “I want Qingcheng safe and sound, if anything happens to her, our alliance is pointless.”
Gu Mei was stunned. She couldn’t believe Qi Shaoze was asking her to see Gu Qingcheng.
She didn’t believe Gu Qingcheng could be in trouble; she hadn’t poisoned or done anything to her, so she was sure Gu Qingcheng was faking unconsciousness.
Moreover, even if she set the air conditioning as low as possible, it wouldn’t be enough to make Gu Qingcheng faint from the cold. After all, Gu Qingcheng didn’t seem like she was about to faint from cold when she angrily rebuked her earlier.
She couldn’t win a fight against Gu Qingcheng, so if she walked in while Gu Qingcheng was pretending to be unconscious, she would definitely be attacked by her.
No.
Her being attacked by Gu Qingcheng was secondary; she was afraid that Gu Qingcheng would take the opportunity to escape. If that happened, catching Gu Qingcheng would be impossible.
So, she couldn’t go into the room to see Gu Qingcheng.
“Shaoze, I can’t go in.” She hurriedly followed to stop Qi Shaoze, “I said she’s faking unconsciousness, if I go in, she will beat me to death.”
“She won’t kill you.” Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Mei, “Qingcheng must be in trouble, you have to go in, I can’t be seen by her, otherwise, I wouldn’t let you go in.”
“I can’t.” Gu Mei refused Qi Shaoze, softening her voice to confront him, “Shaoze, you have to believe what I say. If I say my sister is fine, she is fine. If you don’t believe me, you can go in and see for yourself. But I’m warning you, once she sees you while pretending to be unconscious, she’ll know you kidnapped her, and not only will your friendship be ruined, but you also won’t be able to pursue her.”
“I’ve made myself clear, I can’t go in and be seen by her.” Qi Shaoze’s eyes narrowed as he listened to the rest of Gu Mei’s words, his expression turning cold and meaningful, “Gu Mei, are you threatening me?”
“I’m not threatening you, I’m just telling you the facts.” Gu Mei fearlessly met Qi Shaoze’s darkening gaze, “Shaoze, we allied that day in the small shop, we’re in the same boat now. If I’m in trouble, you’re in trouble too. Similarly, if you’re in trouble, I will be too. If you don’t trust me, then even if we ally, it will be problematic. It’s better to be clear about our intentions now to avoid disagreements later.”
Qi Shaoze’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Gu Mei was right. If he didn’t trust her, their alliance was doomed to fail.
He wanted Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Mei wanted to take revenge on Huo Sicheng and kill him.
They had the same goal and needed to work together to achieve it.
Up close, Gu Mei observed Qi Shaoze’s changing expressions.
She saw his eyes shift from anger to gentleness and knew he believed her.
“Shaoze, you’re so worried about my sister, I’ll send someone in, but I won’t go.” She assertively interrupted Qi Shaoze, then softened her tone, “Don’t worry, my sister will be fine. Please believe me, I haven’t done anything bad to her. After bringing her here, I’ve been quietly waiting with my mother for your arrival. Trust me, give me your full trust.”
Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Mei for a while and then said, “Alright, send someone in, I’m very worried about Qingcheng.”
Gu Mei cursed Qi Shaoze in her heart for caring so much about Gu Qingcheng, but gently said to him, “Okay, I’ll send someone in.”
“Good.” Qi Shaoze turned and went back to the monitoring room, “You handle it.”
Seeing Qi Shaoze’s actions, Gu Mei went to find the bodyguard, feeling indignant.
“Go in and check on Gu Qingcheng, but be prepared for her to attack you at any moment.” She instructed the bodyguard, her eyes filled with malice, “If she’s pretending to be unconscious, just say she’s asleep. If she attacks you, stun her as fast as possible, don’t let her escape.”
“Yes.”
After giving instructions to the bodyguard, Gu Mei quickly returned to the monitoring room.
“Master Qi, Mei has been very well-behaved since childhood, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her ladylike upbringing is considered perfect among the elite circles,” Chu He praised Gu Mei in the monitoring room, watching Qi Shaoze, “She’s always praised your gracefulness in front of me, and seeing you today, you indeed look handsome and promising, truly a dragon among men…”
Qi Shaoze had no interest in Chu He’s flattery, his gaze fixed solely on Gu Qingcheng.
She must not be in any trouble, otherwise, his alliance with Gu Mei would be meaningless.
Chu He spoke for a while, but seeing Qi Shaoze ignoring her, she felt displeased.
She wasn’t familiar with Qi Shaoze. When he had left earlier, she had specifically called Qin Chong.
Qin Chong told her that Qi Shaoze was mixed-race, grew up abroad, and had only recently returned to the country. He was also the CEO of Star Dream Entertainment, with substantial assets abroad. The Qi family patriarch was highly respected in Jiang City, making Qi Shaoze a prominent figure since his return. Many wealthy and noble young ladies had already tried to marry him.
Hearing this from Qin Chong, Chu He held Qi Shaoze in high regard and strongly supported her daughter Gu Mei’s attempt to seduce Qi Shaoze.
If Gu Mei managed to seduce Qi Shaoze and sleep with him, then regardless of his relationship with Gu Qingcheng, just by sleeping with Gu Mei, she would have enough leverage to force Qi Shaoze to marry her.
After all, the Gu family wasn’t insignificant. If Qi Shaoze didn’t marry Gu Mei, she could go to the Qi family patriarch, who would surely not want to lose face and would force Qi Shaoze to marry Gu Mei.
Once Qi Shaoze married Gu Mei, she would have once again stolen a good friend from Gu Qingcheng, just like how Gu Mei had taken Gu Qingcheng’s boyfriend Qin Jun and infuriated her.
And after killing Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng would have no support and be utterly miserable.
Chu He very much wanted to see this kind of revenge.
Gu Mei entered the monitoring room, hearing her mother’s praise and feeling very happy.
“Shaoze…” She walked up to Qi Shaoze, hooking her arm around his waist, “I’ve already sent someone to check on my sister, you don’t have to be so anxious.. My sister will definitely be fine, please believe me, okay?”
