Huo Sicheng’s thin lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes were filled with frost. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Seeing that President Huo was silent, Chu Yu thought of Gu Qingcheng’s viciousness and couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

“President Huo, not to be a sour-grape, but you shouldn’t have married Gu Qingcheng that night.” He finally had a chance to express his displeasure toward Gu Qingcheng, and he wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by. “She and Qin Jun have been in a relationship for many years. How could they break up so easily without any feelings for each other? So she must have some ulterior motive for marrying you. She’s using you.”

Huo Sicheng frowned, and the coldness around him intensified.

“Perhaps it has something to do with the energy business of Mas Group, Europe’s number one energy group.” Seeing that President Huo did not stop him, Chu Yu said, “President Huo, you know that the future belongs to energy. Whoever controls the supply of energy controls the business world.”

He observed President Huo’s reaction and carefully continued, “Now that the entire energy business in Jiang City is in your hands, the Qin and Gu families have long been eyeing you covetously. However, because of you, they can’t openly go against Huo Corporation. You also know all the tricks they do in private to snatch the energy business.”

As he spoke, he turned on the laptop and placed the document on energy in front of President Huo.

“President Huo, Mas Group is our company’s number one customer in expanding to the European continent. Once the cooperation is successful, all the energy in the future will belong to the Huo family. For this cooperation, the Qin and Gu families will definitely do everything they can to negotiate.”

Huo Sicheng’s dark eyes fell on the document.

“You and Gu Qingcheng are sworn enemies,” Chu Yu said. “Everyone knows that. But someone must have seen through your feelings for her, so they deliberately asked Gu Qingcheng to marry you for the sake of the energy business. In this way, the Huo family and the Qin and Gu families will fall out because of her. Not only can they openly compete for this energy cooperation, but they can also publicly accuse you of stealing your nephew’s girlfriend and spread unfavorable rumors about you.”

“I don’t care about rumors!” Huo Sicheng’s heart was filled with rage when he thought of Gu Qingcheng.

Rumors were nothing!

He only cared about Gu Qingcheng.

If this energy business was very important to her, as long as she asked him.

For her, he would be willing to give everything up.

“I know President Huo doesn’t care about rumors, but rumors are scary.” Chu Yu said very seriously, “As President Huo’s assistant, it’s my duty to deal with things that are detrimental to President Huo. Ever since you married Gu Qingcheng, you’ve given the order to cut off all business with the Qin and Gu families. At the same time, they are rapidly joining forces to deal with us.”

He paused for a moment and said meaningfully, “Most importantly, you saw how intimate Gu Qingcheng and Qin Jun were at the entrance of the Royal Dance Academy. Since President Huo wants me to prepare a divorce agreement, I’m sure you already have an idea. Please make a decision.”

“Get out!” Huo Sicheng glanced at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu didn’t dare to say anything else and quickly turned around to walk to the door.

He had already told President Huo everything he wanted to say.

He didn’t like Gu Qingcheng. Regardless of whether the energy problem had anything to do with her or not, he couldn’t stand the fact that she had cheated on Mr. Huo.

Huo Sicheng watched Chu Yu leave with his sharp eyes. When he thought of Qin Jun carrying Gu Qingcheng, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold.

In the principal’s office of the Royal Dance Academy, Gu Qingcheng opened the earring she had retrieved from Gu Mei’s ear. The camera inside made her laugh coldly.

She had overestimated Gu Mei’s intelligence and played these tricks.

This camera was not a live broadcast but a recording. No wonder Gu Mei would say that she had framed her for murder. Her purpose was to record her beating up and indirectly admitting to the murder.

She had never killed anyone.

However, after Gu Mei recorded their meeting and maliciously edited it into the scene of her murder and surrendering, she would really be guilty of murder.

How could she let such a thing happen? Gu Mei was still inexperienced in playing tricks on her.

Knock knock knock. Someone knocked on the door, and a tall, black-haired, purple-robed Vice-Principal, Li Jing, walked in. She wore a pearl necklace and looked elegant and luxurious.

“Did I disturb you?” Li Jing walked up to Gu Qingcheng and placed the documents in her hands on the table. “This is the list of everyone at the Peach Lotus Cup that you requested.”

Gu Qingcheng threw the recorder into the grinder and picked up the file to look at the candidates.

“You rarely come to the academy. You’ve been here every day these past few days. Did something happen?” Li Jing asked Gu Qingcheng lovingly.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Li Jing. Although she was the founder of the Royal Dance Academy, as the principal, she had actually handed over the management of the academy to Li Jing.

Her mother had passed away very early. To her, Li Jing was her dance teacher and also her mother.

For so many years, her achievements in the dance world were not possible without Li Jing. Therefore, she was most relieved to hand over Royal Dance to Li Jing, and Li Jing had never disappointed her.

Li Jing was right. She rarely came to Royal Dance. Recently, she came every day to investigate the Peach Lotus Cup.

It was precisely because of this Peach Lotus Cup that she was present as a mentor.

When the stage collapsed, and everyone was in a mess, someone cursed in her ear. She had already forgotten what it was.

The only thing she remembered was that the man had pushed her, and the steel pipe had pierced her abdomen. As a result, her kidney was damaged.

After investigating the cause of the accident, the camera was actually broken. In the end, many people were injured in the accident. She was the unlucky one who was the most seriously injured and almost died.

She would not let this accident happen again nor allow Huo Sicheng to donate his kidney to save her.

There wasn’t anyone on the list that was worthy of her special attention. She didn’t understand who would hate her so much.

“I’ll keep this list for now. Remember to inform me if there are any updates.” Gu Qingcheng walked toward the door. “I have to rehearse for the Peach Lotus Cup soon, so I won’t be coming to Royal Dance for the time being.”

“Alright. By the way,” Li Jing reminded him, “I was cleaning your house a few days ago and realized you haven’t returned to Cloud-end Villa for a long time. Where are you staying now?”

“Wanmei Villa, Huo Sicheng’s house,” Gu Qingcheng replied without turning her head.

Li Jing froze at the mention of Huo Sicheng. She watched Gu Qingcheng leave in a daze.

Gu Qingcheng left Royal Dance and sat in the car. She thought of Huo Sicheng, and her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Her slender fingers tapped on the number and dialed it. This was the first time she had called Huo Sicheng. She believed that he would be very happy to receive her call.

However, her joy disappeared after five calls because Huo Sicheng didn’t pick up.

She was preparing a surprise for Huo Sicheng tonight, and this was what he was going to do?

Suddenly, her phone screen lit up, and she received a text message.

[Back at the villa.]

When Gu Qingcheng saw Huo Sicheng’s text message, she couldn’t help but feel angry.

Why didn’t he pick up her calls if he could send messages?

She was very dissatisfied and didn’t even have the mood to surprise Huo Sicheng. She drove back to Wanmei Villa.

In the living room, Gu Qingcheng saw Huo Si sitting by the window as soon as she entered.

“Why didn’t you answer my call?” She asked him unhappily.

Huo Sicheng didn’t look at Gu Qingcheng. His eyes were as deep as a spring in a cave.

As far as his eyes could see, even his soul, there was only darkness.

Seeing that Huo Sicheng was ignoring her, Gu Qingcheng sensed that something was wrong with him. She suppressed her displeasure and walked up to him, asking gently, “What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”

Huo Sicheng still didn’t look at Gu Qingcheng. His voice was cold and emotionless. “Sign the document on the table.”

Gu Qingcheng turned to look at the table and asked casually, “What document do you want me to sign?”
