Gu Lingsha was calm as she faced Qi Lei’s aggression. She put on a cold smile. “You can ask him if you want to know, and just observe at his reaction.”
Qi Lei freaked out a little when he saw Gu Lingsha’s calm manner. He clenched his fists and said, “Don’t lie to me, Shasha!”
“You can find out for yourself if I’m lying or not. Moreover, that child is dead! Dead!” Gu Lingsha cackled. “You only thought about how unfair it is to Xi Xiaye. I’m disappointed in you. You’d rather believe in Mu Yuchen than me!”
Qi Lei’s expression was stony as his eyes stared intently at Gu Lingsha. “I’ll never forgive you if you lie to me!”
“Why would I lie to you? Aren’t you accusing me of pushing Xi Xiaye and almost causing her to lose her child? You can just assume I’m taking revenge on Mu Yuchen. You should be happy with that answer!” Gu Lingsha was unfazed as she looked at Qi Lei calmly.
“Shasha! Don’t make me do this!”
“Do what? You’ve already assumed I did it, right? Why are you like this after I’ve admitted it?”
“Enough! I don’t want to fight with you. No matter what, I hope you can leave Qi Kai and go back to City B. Don’t get involved in this mess. You don’t need to experience another dark period! Please leave Qi Kai, or else you’ll turn into a toxic monster. I’ll make sure that you leave even if you don’t want to—”
Bam!
Before Qi Lei could finish his sentence, the door was opened and a person rushed in.
“How dare you!?”
Pa!
There was a furious growl that was accompanied by the sound of a loud slap!
Qi Lei was not able to react at all. All he could feel was a fiery stinging on his left cheek. His ears were buzzing, and he could not hear anything. When he turned over, he saw Qi Qiming standing right in front of him.
“Uncle Qi!” Gu Lingsha was shocked as she stared at Qi Qiming and could not believe what just unfolded before her.
Qi Lei stood frozen in horror as he just stared at Qi Qiming. He ignored the pain on his cheek as his feelings went numb.
Startled, Qi Qiming looked at his own hand and realized that was really a harsh slap he just delivered. Even he could feel slight discomfort on his palm and his heart throbbed a little when he saw Qi Lei’s dark, lifeless gaze, but he soon returned to normal and put on a disgusted look.
Qi Lei’s handsome face had become swollen with the extremely obvious slap mark.
One slap…
That one slap destroyed Qi Lei’s final hope as well as his pride!
How hilarious!
He was Qi Qiming’s son!
Qi Lei ruffled his hair nervously. Although his face was a mess, he still put on his usual wicked smile. “I’m sure you’ve been saving up for this slap. Do you feel great after hitting me? Should I feel glad to be useful for once?”
“Who do you think you are? What makes you think you’re in charge when I’m still around? I appointed Shasha as the project manager. If you’re unhappy with it, then come to me. Why are you messing with her? You’re just like your mother!” Qi Qiming’s icy cold voice reached him, fanning Qi Lei’s anger even more.
“My mother? Are you complaining about our behavior? I just feel unfortunate to be your son! You can give birth to me, but you can’t raise me? I really hate that I have your dirty blood in me. I have to be known as Qi Qiming’s son everywhere I go. Look at you now. Are you sure you’re worthy of being my father?” Qi Lei clenched a fist and pointed a finger at Qi Qiming, his smile tinted with darkness.
“You scum! What did you just say? I dare you to say it again!” Qi Qiming was mad. He glared angrily at Qi Lei, and his body was trembling as he pointed a finger at him.
“I said! It’s unfortunate for me to be your son. You have no right of being my father. You’re not worthy!”
This was the first time Qi Lei could not control his anger!
“You… You… Get out! Get out! I don’t have a son like you. Get out right now!”
Qi Qiming was enraged. He grabbed whatever was on the table and threw them towards Qi Lei. Documents were strewn everywhere inside the room!
“Uncle Qi! Qi Lei! Please stop. Qi Lei, leave my office right now!” Gu Lingsha panicked and quickly stood between the two of them.
Qi Lei put on a cold smile and glanced at Qi Qiming. He then looked at Gu Lingsha as well before he stormed off.
“How dare he!? How dare he!?”
Qi Qiming swept all the documents on the table onto the floor. In just the blink of an eye, Gu Lingsha’s office looked like a typhoon had passed through it.
Gu Lingsha stood aside and looked with a dark, strained expression on her face.
…
Near evening, on the way towards Glory World Corporation on Fatong Avenue, Mu Yuchen was flipping through some documents needed for a meeting later while Li Si was sitting on the front passenger seat as the chauffeur drove carefully.
Screech—
There was a sudden jerk and the squeal of brakes!
Thud!
Mu Yuchen lost his balance and fell forward as his phone and documents slid to the floor. Li Si’s head hit the windshield!
“What happened!?” In shock, Li Si quickly turned around and looked at Mu Yuchen. “Master, are you alright?”
Mu Yuchen held onto the car seat in time and managed to stay safe.
