Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sitting in front of the mirror, Gu Mei looked at her swollen, pimpled, and bruised face, her teeth grinding in anger.

Her joy at being able to walk again was extinguished by her own ugly appearance and her deep hatred for Gu Qingcheng.

No.

It wasn’t just hatred towards Gu Qingcheng; she also despised Huo Sicheng for being blind to her beauty.

In the whole Jiang City, she, Gu Mei, was considered the most beautiful. Gu Qingcheng, that despicable woman, wasn’t even worthy to carry her shoes.

She turned her head in shock upon hearing Chu He’s question.

“Mom, you think I pushed Gu Tianhao?” she laughed mockingly. “I’ve only been able to walk since today, and the doctor even warned me not to walk too long to avoid further injury. So how could I have gone to Gu Tianhao’s tea room a few days ago to push him down the stairs?”

Chu He scrutinized Gu Mei with a probing gaze. All she could see was ugliness, not a single part of her face was unmarred.

“In this entire house, I can’t think of anyone else who would push Gu Tianhao down the stairs,” she hinted. “You say you’ve only been able to walk since today, that’s clearly a lie. I asked the doctor, and you’ve been able to get out of bed and walk a bit for the past few days.”

She paused, then added, “Even though your bedroom is far from Gu Tianhao’s tea room, if you really wanted to push him down, you could have done it.”

“Mom!” Gu Mei looked at Chu He displeasedly. “Just because I could walk a few days ago doesn’t mean I pushed Gu Tianhao. Why would I push him? And if you can’t think of anyone else, it must have been you. I didn’t push him, so it must have been you, Mom.”

“If I had pushed Gu Tianhao, would I ask if you did it?” Chu He’s face darkened.

“It wasn’t me who pushed Gu Tianhao; it must have been you.”

Gu Mei huffed and stood up, sitting down comfortably on the sofa.

“Mom, I didn’t push Gu Tianhao. In my opinion, it was you who pushed him down the stairs.”

“You child…” Chu He sat down beside Gu Mei angrily. “I just want to know the truth. If you did it, just admit it.”

Gu Mei: “I didn’t push Gu Tianhao. I have no reason to push him.”

“You have a reason to push Gu Tianhao down the stairs,” Chu He said affirmatively. “Your motive is simple: he wanted to divorce me, and without the divorce, I wouldn’t have the money to treat your illness. Your life would be ruined. So the best outcome would be to kill Gu Tianhao. If he dies, not only do I avoid the divorce, but I would also inherit all of the Gu family’s wealth.” Gu Mei’s expression changed, and she pursed her lips in silence.

“Xiao Mei, you promised to start over with me,” Chu He said earnestly, watching Gu Mei’s changing expressions. “What Gu Tianhao did before hurt both you and me. I’m deeply disappointed in him. So if you really pushed him, I won’t blame you. I just want the truth so I can have peace of mind.”

Gu Mei’s eyes darkened as she stared at Chu He, then after a while, she admitted, “It was me who pushed Gu Tianhao.”

Chu He wasn’t surprised by Gu Mei’s admission. She didn’t push Gu Tianhao, Gu Qingcheng hadn’t visited the Gu house, and the servants wouldn’t dare kill Gu Tianhao, so the only suspect was her daughter, Gu Mei.

Listening to Gu Mei admit pushing Gu Tianhao, Chu He’s feelings were complex.

After all, a day as a couple meant a hundred days of grace. No matter how much she coveted wealth and status, Gu Tianhao had indeed loved her, giving her whatever she wanted, never being stingy.

That changed after the engagement night when Gu Qingcheng canceled the marriage, leading Gu Tianhao to start abusing her. The beatings were a consequence of Gu Qingcheng using her inheritance to torment her.

Ultimately, it was all Gu Qingcheng’s fault.

She had feelings for Gu Tianhao, even falling in love with him over the years.

But her love for Gu Tianhao was futile; in his heart, she couldn’t compare to an inheritance.

Seeing the sadness in Chu He’s expression, Gu Mei asked angrily, “Mom, are you sad for Gu Tianhao? Don’t forget how he hit and scolded you, how he wanted to divorce you for that despicable Gu Qingcheng! If he doesn’t die, he will drive you out of the Gu family like a bereaved dog!”

Chu He felt a pang in her heart.

Yes.

Gu Tianhao wanted to drive her away for Gu Qingcheng, even without leaving her a penny.

She couldn’t lose her luxurious life, and more importantly, she couldn’t let Gu Qingcheng ruin her daughter Gu Mei.

Gu Mei’s treatment needed money, something the Gu family had in abundance.

Between her daughter Gu Mei and her husband Gu Tianhao, given his heartlessness, she would choose Gu Mei without hesitation.

“Xiao Mei, don’t worry,” she calmed herself and looked at Gu Mei. “I won’t be sad for Gu Tianhao anymore. See, I refer to him by name now, no longer calling him ‘husband’. So you can be at ease.”

Hearing this, Gu Mei felt somewhat relieved.

She rarely got angry now, as her organs would ache severely, a side effect of the medicine Huo Sicheng had given her.

“I’m now glad you didn’t kill Gu Tianhao,” Chu He said, looking at Gu Mei with complex emotions. “If you had killed Gu Tianhao, the Gu Corporation would have completely fallen into Gu Qingcheng’s hands.”

“I just wanted to kill Gu Tianhao at the time. It was just his luck that he didn’t die. Besides, the Gu Corporation is already in Gu Qingcheng’s hands now,” Gu Mei thought of Gu Qingcheng with full hatred. “Despicable Gu Qingcheng, a wretched woman, why would Huo Sicheng and Qi Shaoze like her? She’s dirtier than a whore.”

Chu He didn’t stop Gu Mei from cursing Gu Qingcheng.

Because she agreed with Gu Mei’s curses. In her eyes, Gu Qingcheng was nothing but a dirty, despicable person!

If it weren’t for her inability to deal with Gu Qingcheng, she would have arranged for men to assault her, ensuring Huo Sicheng would never want Gu Qingcheng.

She hated Gu Qingcheng to the core!

“Mom, ask Qin Chong for help,” Gu Mei suggested after cursing Gu Qingcheng. “Have Qin Chong kill Gu Qingcheng. Once she’s dead, Gu Tianhao can die too, and then the Gu family will be all yours.”

“It’s useless,” Chu He shook her head. “You think I haven’t asked Qin Chong? I even slept with him to get his help, but he was useless, completely incapable against Gu Qingcheng.”

Gu Mei knew about Chu He’s affair with Qin Chong, so her mother’s revelation wasn’t surprising.

“Qin Chong is just good at insulting women, a waste in front of Gu Qingcheng!” she cursed angrily. “The Qin family doesn’t have a single capable man; they are all losers under Gu Qingcheng, worthless.”

“Stop cursing,” Chu He comforted Gu Mei. “Don’t get too emotional; you’re not well. ”

Gu Mei’s internal organs were already in pain, but this was nothing compared to her hatred for Gu Qingcheng.

“Now we need to find the best doctor to treat Gu Tianhao,” Chu He told Gu Mei. “Once Gu Tianhao wakes up, Huo Sicheng must leave the Gu Corporation, and it will still belong to Gu Tianhao. We won’t have to worry about Gu Qingcheng.”

“No one knows when Gu Tianhao will wake up,” Gu Mei hinted. “Right now, the most important thing is to kill Gu Qingcheng. Otherwise, if Gu Tianhao wakes up, he will divorce you again, repeating the past. So…’

Chu He, sensing Gu Mei might have a plan against Gu Qingcheng, quickly asked, “So, do you have a way to kill Gu Qingcheng?”
