Chapter 123 Cheng Zhi's Journey of the Heart
The other three people were somewhat disoriented after receiving the news.
Shang Ci had just run out the door when she ran into Cheng Zhi, who was returning from dropping someone off. But Cheng Zhi turned to leave as soon as he pushed the door open. "Big brother, Qingqing, she..."
Cheng Zhi received the news as soon as he got off the flying car, so he was planning to go to Gu Qing's villa to take a look.
"Big brother, are you looking for Qingqing?" Shang Ci stopped him directly. "Big brother, take me with you, I want to go too."
Cheng Zhi nodded in agreement, and the two arrived at Gu Qing's villa in a flying car. They were then led inside by a butler robot.
Gu Qing was sitting on the sofa, wearing a light blue loungewear outfit and holding a teacup in her hand. The tea was from Lou Xiaoyu's dowry.
Looking at the sweet and peaceful scene, the two of them suddenly felt a little lost.
"Please sit down, and try some of my freshly brewed tea," Gu Qing said with a smile.
But both of them felt even more somber.
Shang Ci couldn't contain himself and leaned forward, "Qingqing, how could you have thought of that..."
Gu Qing sighed. "Didn't we already agree on this? I've just finalized three candidates, so I took the time to submit this application."
"Qingqing, you, you'll be alright from now on, right?" Although Qingqing was right, this had always been their thought.
But when Shang Ci heard him say that, she still felt flustered and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
"Of course I'll be fine, and you all should be fine too. Even though we're not husband and wife anymore, we've lived together for so many years, so we're still like brother and sister."
"Yes, yes, we're still siblings. I'm your brother. If your husband is disobedient in the future, I'll beat him up for you." Shang Ci felt a little better.
Cheng Zhi, however, understood the ambiguity in Gu Qing's words: "We are still siblings, but it's not that we are still siblings."
"Aci, you should go back first. I have something to talk to Qingqing about." Seeing the two chatting happily, Cheng Zhi couldn't help but interrupt.
Shang Ci listened to her older brother. Although she was a little reluctant, she nodded and said goodbye to Gu Qing before going back.
Gu Qing didn't try to stop her. Instead, she picked up her teacup and leaned back on the sofa leisurely.
Cheng Zhi looked at him and finally sighed. "Do you hate me? You must hate me."
Should I hate you? Or am I unable to hate you?
I didn't understand before, but Xingheng taught me a lot: Song Xiuyue's targeting of me, and my classmates' isolation of me.
This was all your doing, wasn't it? And for what purpose? Probably to keep me in your hands and then use me to inherit the resources from my father.
Who knows? Things can change unexpectedly. Your plan backfired, so you've turned your attention to me, hoping to get rid of me this time.
She took a sip of tea and continued, “Actually, you’ve planned it quite successfully. I only see my father a limited number of times each year.”
No one has taught me these things. I have an extreme personality and I'm not good to others. If I follow your method, I will gradually become dependent on you.
The other two people, because of your help and rescue, will at least be respectful and courteous to you, if not completely obedient.
"Yes! It was all my scheming, but fate was just so unfair to me. Because I was born with high talent, I absorbed more nutrients from my mother."
So my father and mother passed away one after the other a few years after I was born. I was raised by my uncle, and I originally thought that at least my uncle's family were fighters.
My living conditions are much better than my parents' ordinary life. Who knew that my uncle, who used to dote on my sister, was only so-so to me?
I always have to defer to Tang Feng, who is two years older than me. I was just promoted to officer in the legion when I was sent here to be engaged to you.
By getting engaged to you, I gained control of my first team. I led the team on missions and accumulated some resources.
When I thought that with my good grades and abilities I could get more support, I realized how naive I was.
My uncle is wary of me, and so is your father.
Gu Qing nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's true. But it just shows that your uncle and my father have good judgment; you do have the potential to be an ingrate."
Cheng Zhi was taken aback, but seeing her relaxed expression, without any sarcasm or mockery, it was as if she were commenting on someone unrelated to her.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, “When I first met you, I thought you were young, so I treated you well. I figured General Gu would treat me well too, but who knew you had such a bad temper.”
Gu Qing was drinking tea this time purely to cover up her guilty conscience.
