Chapter 2

Gu Qingming had been sitting on the sofa in the living room without moving. Her heart was already in pain and disappointment, but she was also angry. The anger in her kept surging, waiting to be vented at any time.

She didn’t know how long she sat there, but she took out her phone and sent a message.

Then there was a faint movement in the bedroom.

She held herself still.

“Yes, stop moving!”

A woman’s coquettish voice came from the bedroom.

“Baby, let me move, okay? You know how men are in the morning when… ”

The man’s voice was hoarse with lust.

The woman immediately laughed and scolded jokingly, “You men are animals who think with your lower bodies.”

Soon, the bedroom was filled with loud and discordant moans.

Gu Qingming listened in the living room with a calm expression.

However, her hands were gripping the sofa tightly. The veins on her fair hands protruded, revealing her full anger and hatred.

That pair of adulterers!

The commotion in the bedroom died down.

Then there was a burst of male and female conversation.

“Haotian, is that bitch coming back soon?”

“She’ll be back around lunchtime.”

“It’s just that today is your third wedding anniversary. Will she come back a little earlier to surprise you?”

The words sounded worried.

But when she listened carefully, her worry was mixed with a hint of smugness.

It was their third wedding anniversary, yet she was the one in bed with him.

“No, I know her. When she comes back, she will definitely call me and ask me to pick her up.” Lin Haotian gently stroked Lan Ruomei’s hair and comforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. That woman is devoted to me now. No matter where she goes, she will let me know.”

“Hehe, that’s good.” Lan Ruomei smiled and said, “Haohao, I asked someone to inquire about the internal news of the Gu Corporation. They said that Gu Jianguo has been ill for a long time and can’t manage the company’s work at all. Currently, a huge company must have a person in charge. Therefore, the company wants to invite Gu Qingming back and temporarily represent Gu Jianguo.”

Lin Haotian frowned and asked with a serious expression, “Mei’er, is the information you got accurate?”

Lan Ruomei said with certainty, “The news is most likely accurate. I’ve already confirmed that Gu Jianguo is in Maria Private Hospital.”

In other words, Gu Jianguo’s illness was real.

Lin Haotian asked in confusion, “Then what illness does Gu Jianguo have?”

Lan Ruomei shook her head and said, “Maria Private Hospital is an exclusive hospital. The hospital is very strict about confidentiality. It’s impossible to find out.”

“Can’t you find out?” Lin Haotian felt a little strange, but he couldn’t put a finger on it.

Lan Ruomei said, “Haotian, no matter what illness Gu Jianguo has, we don’t have to care. However, the Gu Corporation does want to use Gu Jianguo’s illness as an excuse to invite Gu Qingming back.”

At this, her whole expression seemed animated and agitated.

She said, “Hao Tian, our chance has come. No matter who invited Gu Qingming back, you and Gu Qingming are already married now. Be it the Gu Corporation or Gu Qingming, they could not shake you off.

When Gu Qingming returns to the Gu Corporation, you can also go in together. As long as you enter the Gu Corporation, with Gu Qingming’s infatuation and trust in you, it won’t be difficult for her to hand the Gu Corporation to you.”

Gu Qingming had already left home for many years and severed ties with her parents, but she was the only heir of the Gu Corporation.

Gu Jianguo had nurtured her as an heir since she was young. As such, it made sense for her to replace her parents.

After all, she was Gu Jianguo’s only daughter and the only heir to the Gu Corporation.

Because of Gu Jianguo’s illness, the hearts of the people were wavering. Some ambitious shareholders wanted to take advantage of this time to stir up trouble.

Of course, inviting Gu Qingming back now was firstly to stabilize the hearts of the people in the company. Secondly, some people wanted to use Gu Qingming as a puppet in an attempt to control the entire company.

Gu Qingming was the heir that Gu Jianguo had carefully nurtured.

However, this heir had already left home for many years. She could not do anything to the company that was updating and developing every day.

Therefore, as long as he took advantage of this gap to secretly devour the Gu family’s shares and then change the ownership of the Gu Corporation, it would be a matter of time.

“Haha, Haotian, our long-planned wish is finally coming true. Are you happy?”

Lin Haotian hugged her and nodded. “Of course I’m happy.”

“Then when you have money and become the real son-in-law of the Gu Corporation, will you abandon me?”

Lan Ruomei’s expression was stern and serious.

Men turn bad when they have money. Lan Ruomei was a woman, so of course she had this concern.

Lin Haotian stared at her expression and was slightly stunned. Then, he reached out and tapped the tip of her nose and said in amusement,

“Idiot, what are you worried about? You know, you’ve been the only woman in my heart since junior high. I can’t let anyone else into my heart.

“I worked so hard just to let you live the good life of a rich wife in high society.”

His face grew serious and serious as he spoke.

He said, “Mei, I’ve always remembered my promise to you that I would make sure you had a good life. That’s why I’ve been trying to keep my promise.”

Lan Ruomei was moved to tears.

She hugged Lin Haotian tightly and said, “Haotian, you’re so good to me!”

But then she thought of something and asked, “What will happen to her in the future?” Of course, she was referring to Gu Qingming.

At the mention of Gu Qingming, Lin Haotian’s expression turned cold.

He said coldly, “A ruined woman who cuckolded me would be lucky to be alive. She must be dreaming if she thinks she can continue to live the life of a rich young lady!”

Lan Ruomei rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “Haotian, you can’t say that about her. After all, she herself did not know that she had slept with another man and was pregnant with a bastard child.

She was determined that the child was yours.

Besides, didn’t you lose that child when you greased the stairs? Why are you still holding it in?”

“Hmph, but it doesn’t change the fact that that woman is despicable. Who knows if that woman did it on purpose?” Lin Haotian said hatefully.

Back then, it was clearly him who was supposed to take her virginity, but someone else snatched it away first. He had been suppressing this anger.

Lan Ruomei said with some self-reproach, “Hehe, Haotian, it’s not entirely her fault. I also wanted to give myself to you on your birthday. In the end, I delayed your relationship with her. If I had known, I would have let you be with her first. That way, no one would have beaten you to it, causing you to be cuckolded and having to accept that bastard in humiliation.”

“It’s not your fault, Mei’er. It’s not your fault.” Lin Haotian hugged her tightly. “It’s that slut who’s a philanderer.”
