Chapter 1641 - Stepped On His Sore Spot
Chapter 1641: Stepped On His Sore Spot
Qin Haoshan glared at Huo Shaoheng for a while. Seeing how fearless he was, he knew he couldn’t do anything to him.
The Qin Corporation was powerful in the business world, not in the political world.
In the past, because of Qin Yaoguang and He Chengjian’s relationship, everyone in the political world gave the Qin Corporation face.
But now, not only did Qin Yaoguang divorce He Chengjian, but she was also sent to prison by her own daughter. The Qin Corporation did not have that much influence in the political world anymore.
Moreover, Mr. Peter was a diplomat from the Soviet Union, so he was further away from the realm of the Huaxia Empire’s political world.
Qin Haoshan left Huo Shaoheng with a flick of his sleeve, but came before Gu Nianzhi. He even ignored He Zhichu, who was sitting silently on the other side. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to Gu Nianzhi with a straight face, “Miss Gu, my cousin isn’t good enough for you, and he doesn’t dare to pursue someone out of his league. Please don’t be with him anymore.” He turned and left.
Gu Nianzhi was still a little apologetic about Luo Yaozu’s injury, but now that she heard Qin Haoshan say this, fury arose in her heart.
She stood up abruptly and said to Qin Haoshan’s back coldly, “Stop! What do you mean by that? When am I going to be with your cousin? If you talk nonsense like that and ruin my reputation, I can sue you for slander!”
Qin Haoshan had long been displeased with Gu Nianzhi because of Qin Yaoguang’s lawsuit.
At that moment, not only did she not apologize for causing Luo Yaozu’s concussion, but she also kept saying that she was going to “sue” him, seeing that she had no intention of repentance, he couldn’t help it anymore.
He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. His handsome features were contorted because of his forebearance.
“… You’re going to sue again? Miss Gu, what’s wrong with you? You’re suing your own family? !”
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists and enunciated each word, “I sue people who are guilty! I don’t care who that person is! Mr. Qin, you’re completely blind to the law. Can’t you sue your family? Does your family have a waiver of guilt?”
Qin Haoshan was tongue-tied by Gu Nianzhi’s question. He couldn’t think of a way to respond, so he had no choice but to reply curtly and harshly, “This is completely different! Don’t think that just because you’re a lawyer, you can sue people all the time. The court isn’t just for you!”
“Haha, I just filed one lawsuit. How did it become my family’s court? Your family’s court has only tried one case for decades?” Gu Nianzhi mocked him without hesitation.
Qin Haoshan was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage. His fair face gradually turned red. In a fit of anger, he revealed his true thoughts, “A person like you is vile, unfaithful, and unfilial. You went against your biological mother. No matter how good your conditions are, you’re not a good match! I’d rather my cousin spend his entire life with young models and F-list celebrities than let him marry you!”
What she meant was that Gu Nianzhi was inferior to those young models and F-list celebrities.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a long time. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and bent over with a smile. “Oh my! You make it sound like I really want to marry your cousin!”
She raised her finger and pointed at He Zhichu, who was sitting diagonally behind her. “See Young Master He? We were engaged before, but I didn’t want to marry him, so I broke off the engagement with him.”
She then pointed at Huo Shaoheng, who was standing at the door with his hands leaning against the door frame and smiling as he sized them up. She said, “Over there, Mr. Peter, the Soviet diplomat, has been chasing me relentlessly. So, Mr. Qin, where did you get the shamelessness to say that I like your cousin and even want to marry him?”
She stopped smiling and said with a straight face, “Are you blind or are you stupid as to say such nonsense? !”
Qin Haoshan frowned. “Isn’t it because you have a good impression of my cousin that you let them come to play?”
“Your cousin came to the foot of the mountain and was stopped, so she used me as a cover. I thought that they were pitiful, so I let Young Master He let them come up. How did it become that I have a good impression of your cousin? Is your cousin’s family background better than Young Master He’s, or is his appearance better than Mr. Peter’s? — I don’t even like these two people. Do you think I would like your cousin?”
Gu Nianzhi was sharp-tongued and finally said, “Actually, your cousin is still a little better than you. At least he knows what he’s doing. Unlike you, he doesn’t know what he’s doing! You deserve to never get the person you love in your life!”
Gu Nianzhi’s last words stepped on Qin Haoshan’s sore spot.
He had a crush on Xie Qingying, but he didn’t dare say a word.
He had originally planned to wait until Xie Qingying was 30 years old and propose to her if she hadn’t married anyone else.
There were very few men who were willing to marry a 30-year-old woman, so he wouldn’t have any decent competitors at that time.
But this time, he could tell that Xie Qingying seemed to have feelings for He Zhichu.
He Zhichu, on the other hand, was now a bachelor.
If he had good taste, he would most likely accept Xie Qingying.
And wouldn’t he, on the other hand, like what Gu Nianzhi said, never be able to get the woman he loved for his life? !
Qin Haoshan was furious. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his facial features were twisted beyond recognition.
Gu Nianzhi did not let him off the hook. She sneered at him and said, “What’s wrong? So angry that you can’t speak? Did I hit the nail on the head? Look at your eyes. You look like you want to kill me.”
She turned to look at He Zhichu and put on a pitiful expression. “Young Master He, you have surveillance cameras here, right? You have to capture his ugly appearance. If anything happens to me in the future, he will be the prime suspect!”
He Zhichu still sat there and did not move, but his clear and cold gaze had already turned to look at her.
It was as if a layer of ice had frozen around him, and he exuded a chill.
He Zhichu had poured cold water on Qin Haoshan’s hot head.
He shivered slightly and glared at Gu Nianzhi. “I finally understand what it means to be the first to complain! A person like you would be despised by even a dog on the street. Who would bother to harm you?!”
Gu Nianzhi scoffed and immediately retorted, “Ask your good aunt Qin Yaoguang about that. Ask her if she’s worse than a dog!”
“You’re saying your own mother is worse than a dog?!” Qin Haoshan felt like he had never seen such a woman be so wicked as to publicly insult her own mother.
“I’m following your logic.” Gu Nianzhi calmed down and took a step forward to say, “You just said that dogs won’t even bite people like me. But your good Aunt Qin Yaoguang forcibly kidnapped me and tried to hurt me. Tell me, is she worse than a dog?!”
Qin Haoshan waved his hand and said, “You’re lying! She’s your biological mother. There’s no such thing as forced kidnapping. She just wants to see you and take you away from the He family. Why would a biological mother need to use illegal means to kidnap her own daughter? ! This is a false statement. She doesn’t need any violent means to take you away. Even the He family can’t stop her.”
Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and sneered. “That’s right. Why? Why didn’t she reveal her identity as my biological mother? Why did she come straight to the He family to see me and take me away? Why did she have to use underhanded methods to kidnap me? And at the same time, frame my father? Go ask her if she has any unspeakable secrets about me!”
Qin Haoshan also realized that something was wrong.
He had never thought about it from this angle before.
All this time, he had thought that Gu Xiangwen had tried to take his daughter away and had framed Qin Yaoguang in the end.
Later, he had heard more about the court trial than his other relatives, but he still thought that Qin Yaoguang was thinking about her daughter and wanted to share troubles with the person she loved. That was why she had made such a decision.
But now that he heard Gu Nianzhi say this, he realized his thoughts were clearly wrong, and he felt baffled.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that Gu Nianzhi was more to blame.
Qin Haoshan’s face relaxed a little, and he looked Gu Nianzhi up and down, then said, “There are all kinds of parents in the world. No matter what your mother did wrong, as children, we can only be filial to them. After all, they gave us life, raised us, gave us food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. You can’t…”
“Stop.” Gu Nianzhi made a “pause” sign like that of a sports competition, then said, “Legally speaking, what you just said is completely wrong. Parents can make mistakes and break the law. If children were to blindly appease their parents, it would only encourage their mistakes and make them more and more ridiculous. This isn’t filial piety, it’s flattery. It’s deliberately harming them. — Mr. Qin, don’t tell me that the premise of being filial to your parents is to harm them.”
Gu Nianzhi sincerely felt that it was flattering to say that Qin Haoshan’s brain was made of water.
Because his brain wasn’t made of water, but concrete.
Qin Haoshan opened his mouth and realized that no matter what he said, he would fall into Gu Nianzhi’s trap.
He had no choice but to press his lips tightly together, snort heavily, and turn to leave.
He Zhichu stood up casually and said coldly, “Qin Haoshan, apologize to Miss Gu.”
Qin Haoshan suddenly stopped and looked back at He Zhichu in shock. He rubbed his ears and said, “What did you say, Young Master He?!”
