As she spoke, she propped herself up. Her blue eyes revealed a fearless staunchness. Doris got up with the help of the railing on the side as she held her face that burned with pain. Her crazy eyes focused on the miserable-looking Gu Qiwu.
“Doris, I won’t accept your threats. If you’re going to lay your hands on them, then you’re just forcing me. I’m afraid you’ve miscalculated! I can tell Qi Qiming about today, and when that happens, the person who’s got more to lose than gain won’t be me!” Gu Qiwu warned coldly.
Upon hearing that, Doris just laughed out loud. “Gu Qiwu, I think you’re being foolish now. You want to just blurt things to Qi Qiming without having any evidence. Do you think he’ll believe you? Huh, if you won’t give in, then we shall wait and see whose methods will go harder!”
“If you really want to do things that way, I’ll play along with you. Do you think I’d care about Mu Lingmo? Huh, to me, Mu Lingmo isn’t even compatible with Lingshi. Only when he’s done for can Lingshi find a better one. She will be the Hui Gu Corporation’s successor. As for Lingsha, because of a mother like you, she might not get anything at all. I was planning to give her a part of Hui Gu, but because you exist, unfortunately, she won’t be getting anything!”
Gu Qiwu laughed gloomily, then he lowered his voice to say into Doris’s ear, “Do you think Qi Qiming will let you off? Did you all think Qi Feng could really accomplish anything? I’m afraid that even Qi Qiming doesn’t understand his own thoughts right now! Taking these risks will only narrow your own path. Qi Qiming’s not dumb. You’ll only push him further away. You think too highly of yourself. Given your level, you can only do so much. In fact, don’t forget that you still have to handle Mu Yuchen. Are you really all that smart?”
Gu Qiwu’s voice was filled with disdain, as he took a look at Doris. He did not think that he could see this arrogant woman show a moment of embarrassed hesitance and uneasiness on her face in his lifetime!
As his long slender fingertips lifted her chin, he said coldly with a smile, “Doris, if you’re smart, you’ll let them go. Otherwise, you’re just digging your own grave. I know how to be vicious and despicable too. In fact, who do you think has more potential of being a devil? Don’t give me that look. You dirty woman, do you think you are elegant and beautiful? You can’t even compare to the cheapest prostitute to me. Do you really think you’re a noble princess? How tragic!”
Gu Qiwu was heartless as he coldly said these and then shrugged Doris off. She stumbled and fell down the stairs again. Although she cried out in pain and wanted to get up to slap Gu Qiwu, she did not get to because he was already walking away in huge strides.
“Don’t be too happy, Gu Qiwu. You’ll beg me one day! You will!” Doris clenched her fists until warm blood leaked out as she watched him walk away. Glenn wanted to go up and stop him, but she shouted to let him leave.
“Miss, are you okay?” Glenn swiftly went up to hold her. He watched as blood dripped from the corner of Doris’s lips and he cursed coldly, “Gu Qiwu’s not a man!”
However, Doris just laughed. There was madness in her voice as she said, “No, you don’t know that this is the real Gu Qiwu. When he gets vicious, he doesn’t care who you are. What a selfish, heartless person!”
“He will pay the price for this!” Glenn said coldly.
“Help me back and call the lawyer over. Also, get Qi Feng to come over. There’s a change in our plans. If he doesn’t want to get into trouble, tell him to rush over right away.”
Doris endured the pain and her gaze turned cold as she watched Gu Qiwu vanish in the direction ahead.
“Yes, Miss!” Glenn answered and helped her towards the villa.
On the other end, when Gu Qiwu got out, he went straight into his car and the car drove away.
The car drove ahead, and after a while, Ah Yong finally could not help but speak up in concern, glancing at Gu Qiwu’s hand, “Boss, let’s go to the hospital to get your hand bandaged first.”
The scratch marks and those lines of blood on the back of his hand were obvious. Even Ah Yong could smell the faint coppery smell in the air.
When Gu Qiwu heard that, he looked down at his wounds, thought about it, then answered, “No need. Just get it wrapped up when we get home.”
“Yes, Boss!” Ah Yong did not know what Gu Qiwu and Doris had talked about earlier, but from the boss’s expression, he could tell that it probably went badly, and they had both fought too, so…
“Boss, Doris she…” Ah Yong tried to probe.
Gu Qiwu’s eyes darkened and he laughed coldly. “She’s quite eager to win. Just for the sake of these few benefits, she can disregard everything. She’s trying to corner me now and leave me with nowhere to go, so can I let her off easily now?” He chuckled mysteriously.
“Boss, what should we do next?” Ah Yong asked softly.
Gu Qiwu fell silent for a moment, then said calmly, “Help me ask Qi Qiming out tomorrow night at the usual place. I’ll treat him to a meal.”
“Qi Qiming? Boss, you want to meet him?” Ah Yong was a little surprised.
“Just do as I say. I have to talk to him,” Gu Qiwu said as he took a tissue to wipe away the blood from the back of his hand before he shut his eyes, feeling worn out.
Ah Yong nodded. He knew that he was not in a good mood, so he did not dare to step on the landmines.
After resting for quite a few days, Xi Xiaye finally recovered a little. The sickly paleness on her face was gone, and now, some healthy rosiness showing too.
It was a rare weekend and Mu Yuchen was not going to work today. The night before, the couple had returned to the old Mu residence and fetched both their sons home. The weekend at home was going to be livelier, so Xi Xiaye let Sis Wang and the rest off too.
In the morning, Xi Xiaye woke up early while the man beside her slept soundly. She washed up simply and then got up to make breakfast.
Not too long after she left the bedroom, the little guy, who was initially still sleeping on the large bed, suddenly opened his eyes. His bright and misty little eyes blinked a few times before he turned to look at his brother, then his little hands reached out to claw…
Mu Zirui, who was still sleeping, vaguely felt his face being tickled, so he opened his eyes immediately and saw Mu Xiaocheng already sitting up and smiling at him. He immediately got up too.
