Listening to Gu Mei’s words, Chu He thought she had run out of tears, but they came pouring out uncontrollably.

Her sobs were filled with deep sorrow and despair.

She still couldn’t believe that Gu Tianhao would abandon her, refusing even to provide her with living expenses.

What she feared losing the most was her lavish lifestyle, which Gu Tianhao had heartlessly snatched away.

NO!

It wasn’t Gu Tianhao who ruined her affluent life, but Gu Qingcheng, that contemptible person, who was deliberately torturing her.

Ultimately, Gu Qingcheng deserved the blame, but Gu Tianhao was equally culpable.

Chu He knew all too well about Gu Tianhao’s fixation on the inheritance. It must have been Gu Qingcheng who used the inheritance or energy as leverage over Gu Tianhao, leading him to coldly abandon her and their daughter.

To him, she and her unfortunate daughter were less important than energy and inheritance, cruelly discarded by Gu Tianhao.

“Mom, please listen to me,” Gu Mei pleaded, tugging at Chu He’s sleeve urgently, “You can’t sign those divorce papers; you absolutely must not give in.”

“I’ve decided on divorce,” Chu He informed Gu Mei. “You’re aware of your father’s temperament. If I refuse to divorce, he’ll force it on me. You wouldn’t want to see me suffer his violence again, would you?”

“He wouldn’t dare!” Gu Mei exclaimed angrily, “If Gu Tianhao dares to lay a finger on you, I’ll make him regret it.”

“Don’t be so stubborn,” Chu He said, wiping away her tears, “I’ve agreed to the divorce, but I’ve asked to delay signing the papers for one day. I’ve arranged for a doctor to see you today. He comes highly recommended and might be able to treat your condition. At least I can afford today’s fee. Otherwise, once we leave the Gu family tomorrow, I won’t be able to afford your medical expenses.” Seeing her mother’s deep concern, Gu Mei’s eyes welled up with tears.

“Mom, I’m sorry, I’ve been a burden,” she said, regretting her past anger towards Chu He, “I was wrong to be angry with you all the time. I won’t lose my temper at you anymore.”

Chu He, comforted by Gu Mei’s understanding words, embraced her daughter and wept bitterly.

“My dear daughter, my poor girl, we’ve been cruelly manipulated by Gu Qingcheng. And even more heartless is your father, who discarded us without a second thought for his wife and daughter.”

“Mom, why do you say that?” Gu Mei asked in surprise, “Tell me what really happened between you and Gu Tianhao.”

Chu He, without hesitation, shared the details of their encounter in the study.

“That vile Gu Qingcheng, she intentionally forced Gu Tianhao to divorce you. She wants us to suffer the same pain and despair that we caused her back then,” Gu Mei fumed with anger, cursing Gu Qingcheng, “She’s so spiteful, holding onto the grudge for so long, using this opportunity for revenge. The worst part is Gu Tianhao, abandoning us so heartlessly just for the inheritance.”

Listening to Gu Mei’s furious words, Chu He wished she could confront Gu Qingcheng herself.

“It’s all because of Gu Qingcheng!” she angrily denounced, “If only we had gotten rid of her back then!”

“It’s not too late to deal with Gu Qingcheng!” Gu Mei declared, her eyes filled with vengeance, “In this life, my sole mission will be to avenge us on Gu Qingcheng!”

Chu He lamented, “It’s useless. Once we lose the support of Gu Tianhao, we will have nothing.”

Gu Mei fell silent, choosing not to respond.

The butler entered cautiously, respectfully announcing, “Madam, the doctor has arrived.”

Chu He quickly wiped her face and instructed the butler, “Let the doctor in to treat my daughter.”

A foreign doctor, accompanied by three assistants, entered Gu Mei’s room. Chu He made way for the doctor beside the bed.

After thorough examinations which lasted until nightfall, the doctor turned to Chu He, “Your daughter’s condition is treatable, but the process will be long and costly.”

Chu He’s heart sank at the mention of money, but she was determined to do anything to save her daughter.

“What’s the estimated cost?”

The doctor responded, “Roughly 50 million.”

Hearing this, Gu Mei, relieved to know she could be cured, nonchalantly commented on the price, “I thought it would be more. 50 million is quite affordable.

The doctor clarified, “It’s 50 million M dollars.”

Gu Mei casually remarked, “Money is not an issue for our family.”

“Xiaomei, we’re out of funds,” Chu He looked earnestly at Gu Mei, “Once I divorce your father, he won’t pay for your treatment.”

Gu Mei’s expression froze, her joy turning to shock as she looked at Chu He.

Chu He, seeing her daughter’s distress, felt a sharp pain in her heart. “I’m sorry, my dear. It’s my failure.”

“Mom, it’s not your fault. It’s that despicable Gu Qingcheng who plotted against us, leading to our downfall. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even need treatment,” Gu Mei consoled Chu He and then addressed the doctor, “You may rest now. We’ll arrange for the payment once we decide on the treatment.”

The doctor nodded and left.

“Arrange for payment?” Chu He looked at Gu Mei, “Once I divorce your father, our accounts will be frozen. We’ll have no funds.

“Mom, leave this to me,” Gu Mei reassured her, “I’m exhausted, and so are you.

Go rest in your room.”

Chu He, indeed weary, nodded and left Gu Mei’s bedroom.

Under the cover of night, Gu Tianhao stood in his home’s six-story tea room, sipping tea and browsing through documents.

After growing tired of the documents, he picked up his mobile phone and walked to the window.

With the cool night breeze wafting through the open window, he dialed Gu

Oingcheng’s number using a new Dhone.

When the call connected, Gu Qingcheng asked, “Who is this?”

“Qingcheng, it’s your father,” Gu Tianhao spoke with a mix of affection and sinister intent, “I’ve initiated divorce proceedings with Chu He. We’ll officially divorce tomorrow. Can you arrange to visit the lawyer’s office tomorrow?”

Gu Qingcheng replied, “You’re moving fast with the divorce. But I’m not available tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I can visit the lawyer’s office to handle the inheritance and property transfer.”

Gu Tianhao chuckled, trying to hide his eagerness, “No problem, take care of your affairs first. We’ll handle the inheritance contract later.”

“Understood,” Gu Qingcheng responded briefly.

Gu Tianhao wanted to continue the conversation, but Gu Qingcheng abruptly ended the call, leaving him frowning in displeasure.

Yet, for the inheritance, he was willing to endure Gu Qingcheng. Once he secured the inheritance, he would no longer need the energy resources and could use the fortune to destroy Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng!

Suddenly, Gu Tianhao sensed a murderous gaze behind him.

Just as he was about to turn and confront the audacious person, he felt a strong push against his back. Losing his balance, he fell out of the window like a puppet with its strings cut.

As he screamed in terror, the sound of his body crashing to the ground echoed through the night.

A servant screamed in horror, “Master… Master, what’s happened? Someone help, the master has fallen from the building….”
