Chapter 288: Estrangement
Ji Sisi frowned and looked at Qi Shaoze with complicated eyes.
Qi Shaoze stared at Ji Sisi with a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with softness.
Ji Sisi looked at Qi Shaoze intently for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "Although I don't want Mr. Huo to be deceived by Miss Gu, I am not stupid either. By saying so much, you are using me to help you get Gu Qingcheng and Huo Si Cheng is divorced."
Qi Shaoze was not surprised by what Ji Sisi said.
"I made it very clear that I don't want my good friend Gu Qingcheng to ruin her life. She deserves a better man, not Huo Sicheng."
Ji Sisi: "Why should I help you?"
“If you want to marry Huo Sicheng, you must get a divorce from Gu Qingcheng.” Qi Shaoze told Ji Sisi calmly, “If Gu Qingcheng doesn’t get a divorce, you can’t marry Huo Sicheng no matter how much you imitate Gu Qingcheng.”
Ji Sisi sneered, "How did you know I was going to marry Mr. Huo? Mr. Qi, I told you that I didn't learn from Miss Gu, and I won't help you either."
Qi Shaoze smiled and said, "Give me your mobile phone."
Ji Sisi: "What to do?"
Qi Shaoze: “Just give it to me.”
Ji Sisi smiled meaningfully and handed the phone to Qi Shaoze.
Qi Shaoze took Ji Sisi's mobile phone and saved his own number.
"Call me when you figure it out." He returned the phone to Ji Sisi, "I believe I will wait for your call."
Ji Sisi: "I won't call you."
Qi Shaoze’s smile was full of confidence, “You can do it.”
He turned and left after speaking.
Ji Sisi stood there, frowning as she looked at the words Qi Shaoze in the phone book.

At this time, Chu He was sitting beside Gu Mei's bed in the Gu family villa. Seeing Gu Mei's face ashen, she felt heartbroken.
"Xiaomei, mom was wrong." She apologized bitterly, "Mom really knows that she was wrong. Please have a word with mom."
Gu Mei listened to Chu He's apology every day for the past few days, but she couldn't bear it after all, and looked at Chu He with a pair of dim eyes.
“Mom, don’t apologize, I’m not angry.”
When Chu He saw Gu Mei paying attention to her, tears burst out of her eyes, "Mom knew it was wrong. She shouldn't have believed your father. She shouldn't have held the handle of Gu Qingcheng in her hand and didn't disclose it in order to control Gu Qingcheng. In the end, she lost her phone and lost herself. The only chance to control Gu Qingcheng..."
The more she spoke, the more she regretted it, and the more she regretted it, the more painful she became.
"Xiaomei is all my mother's fault. During the Taohe Cup, we should have sent a few more people to kill Gu Qingcheng to avoid future troubles. If we had killed Gu Qingcheng, our mother and daughter would not be in this situation now."
"Mom, don't cry. After all, you are too soft-hearted." Gu Mei's eyes were full of hatred, "When I wanted to kill Gu Qingcheng's son Huo Xuan, you still stopped me from killing that little bastard. Now Gu Qingcheng tramples on us and slaps us in the face, all because we are too soft-hearted. In fact, on the night Gu Qingcheng refused to marry, we should have sent someone to cut her to death."
Chu He: "Huo Xuan is just a child. I think Qiu is Gu Qingcheng and not a child."
Gu Mei reminded Chu He: "Gu Qingcheng was also a little girl back then. Look at what would happen if you didn't kill her!"
Chu He immediately forgot to even cry, because Gu Mei's words were like a knife piercing her heart.
After Mu Xia's death, Gu Qingcheng was isolated and helpless. She used a trick to drive a six-year-old girl out of the Gu family and left her in school to die.
She was more cruel back then, instead of driving Gu Qingcheng away, she directly killed Gu Qingcheng. How could things like this happen today?
“It’s my fault,” she admitted. “It’s my fault that I’m so soft-hearted. I should have strangled this **** like Gu Qingcheng to death.”
"It's useless to say all this now." Gu Mei said with thoughts in her eyes, "We have to find a way to target Gu Qingcheng, otherwise our mother and daughter will not be united and will only be bullied by Gu Qingcheng."
Chu He asked: “Where is your father?”
"Repay dad?" The hatred in Gu Mei's eyes increased, "He beat you, no matter whether I live or die, and you still worry about what he did! People like him deserve to die just like Gu Qingcheng!"
"Don't say that." Chu He sighed, "Let's not mention your father for now. Let's talk about Gu Qingcheng first. What do you think we should do?"
"Qi Shaoze?" Chu He was surprised, "Qi Shaoze is a good friend of Gu Qingcheng. He also likes Gu Qingcheng very much and cannot take advantage of him." Gu Mei: "I told you that I sent people, but my people told me that Qi Shaoze can't pursue Gu Qingcheng. Qingcheng is still trying to break up Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, and he must hate Huo Sicheng even if he is in love."
Chu He: "Is your news correct?"
Gu Mei: "I will judge whether there is anything wrong."
Chu He: “How do you judge?”
Gu Mei: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I need money now, a lot of money. Money can make the world go round. I must kill Gu Qingcheng!"
“I will give you all my private money.” Chu He thought for a while, “Don’t worry, daughter, as long as you can kill Gu Qingcheng, my mother will get it for you no matter how much money you have!”
Gu Mei: "Okay."

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng wanted to eat spicy shrimp on her way back to the villa.
She went to the nearest shopping mall and supermarket, covered her face, bought groceries and prepared to leave.
“Can’t that tie really be cheaper?” A woman’s pitiful voice sounded.
"Madam, I'm very sorry. This tie is a limited edition. It has just been put out and there is only one in the world. The price is a regulation and I have no right to lower the price."
“Oh, it’s a pity that I can’t afford it.”
When Gu Qingcheng heard this sentence, he glanced subconsciously and saw a fashionably dressed woman leaving with a sigh.
She followed the woman's line of sight and saw the black tie on display at the counter, intertwined with a white silver thread. It was luxurious and restrained, and she immediately fell in love with it.
"Hello, do you need anything?" The clerk saw Gu Qingcheng staring at the tie and asked enthusiastically, "This tie..."
Gu Qingcheng didn't wait for the clerk to finish, she said: "Wrap it up."
The clerk was stunned for a moment, then smiled politely and said: "Madam, the price of this tie..."
Gu Qingcheng: "Wrap it up."
The clerk was stunned again, then he smiled and said, "Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment."
When Gu Qingcheng looked at the tie gift box in her hand, she was stunned.
She thought she was sick, and she bought this tie just because it looked good.
When she got it, she realized that all she could think about was Huo Sicheng, because this tie fit Huo Sicheng's low-key and restrained personality and dressing style very well.
At this moment, when she regained consciousness, although Huo Sicheng was in her mind, it was Huo Sicheng's bad side.
Having bought all the ties and returning them, isn’t she trying to fool the store clerk?
She felt bad all of a sudden. After all, this tie was worth a lot of money.
“Forget it.” She cleared her mind of her displeasure with Huo Sicheng and turned to leave.
Bought everything, so what if she gave it to Huo Sicheng? She was obsessed with him and was waiting for him to give her the final answer about Miss Li.
In Wanmei Villa, when Gu Qingcheng arrived at the lobby, Huo Sicheng and Huo Xuan's father and son were both there for the first time.
“Mom is back.” Huo Xuan saw Gu Qingcheng smiling and ran over, “Mom, the baby misses you so much.”
Gu Qingcheng was holding something in his hand. He couldn't hold Huo Xuan and could only look at him tenderly, "Mom misses you too."
Huo Xuan was sensible and wanted to get the food: "Baby, bring the food to your mother."
"No, the shrimps I bought are a bit fishy. Don't let your baby touch them." Gu Qingcheng refused Huo Xuan, but looked at Huo Sicheng, "Come here."
Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng come home, his uneasy heart finally calmed down, and he was still happy for her.
He came to Gu Qingcheng and reached out to get the food: "I'll come."
"No need." Gu Qingcheng raised her hand to reject Huo Sicheng and handed the gift box containing the tie to Huo Sicheng, "Here you go."
Huo Sicheng looked at the luxurious gift box with gold and jade in his hand, and couldn't help but ask Gu Qingcheng: "This is it?"
