Chapter 308: Leaving the Family with Nothing After Divorce

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng calmly looked at Gu Tianhao.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

Gu Tianhao handed the contract to Gu Qingcheng with displeasure, “Take a look at your contract.”

Gu Qingcheng glanced at it and told Gu Tianhao, “There’s nothing wrong with my contract.”

Gu Tianhao hinted, “Look at your contract again and see if there’s anything wrong.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t look at the contract, just stared directly at Gu Tianhao, asserting, “There’s no problem.”

“How can you say there’s no problem?” Gu Tianhao snatched the contract from her hands. “It states that I must divorce Chu He, not give her a penny of property, and she can’t take anything from the Gu family, not even jewelry. She must leave the Gu family with nothing but her clothes, which is harsher than leaving her with nothing.”

His anger grew, “And look at Gu Mei, she can’t take anything from the Gu family either. The most outrageous part is that you want me to publicly announce the divorce from Chu He, drive her and Gu Mei out of the Gu family, and not allow me to publicly explain the reason for the divorce. This will stir up the whole Jiang City. I’ll become the subject of gossip, known for abandoning my wife and daughter. How can I sign this contract?”

“Oh,” Gu Qingcheng replied calmly, “You can also choose not to sign.”

Gu Tianhao’s face turned from pale to flushed at her light response.

Gu Qingcheng checked the time on her phone, “I have another appointment and can’t delay here much longer. If you don’t sign, I’ll be leaving.”

Saying this, she turned to leave.

Gu Tianhao had painstakingly found this opportunity to inherit the fortune today and didn’t want to give it up, fearing that Gu Qingcheng might change her mind later, making it difficult for him to sign the contract again.

“Wait a minute,” he called after her, “Give me a few minutes to think.”

Gu Qingcheng, with her back to Gu Tianhao, knew he wouldn’t easily give up such a fortune. A cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

Nothing in this world came without a price.

She had Gu Tianhao in her grasp from the beginning; he must divorce Chu He to get the inheritance.

But the divorce wasn’t as simple as Gu Tianhao thought. She wanted not only for Chu He and Gu Mei to lose everything, but also for Gu Tianhao to be condemned by everyone.

“Alright, I’ll wait a few minutes.”

Gu Tianhao re-examined the contract, thinking rapidly.

He knew Gu Qingcheng wasn’t without ulterior motives. Once he announced the divorce, he would be condemned by the whole Jiang City.

However, if he didn’t think about Gu Qingcheng targeting him, the purpose of making the divorce public was to target Chu He and Gu Mei.

After all, Gu Qingcheng had made it clear in the cemetery that she only hated Chu He and sought revenge against her.

So, he could sign the contract. Although he couldn’t publicly explain the reason for the divorce and would suffer in silence, it wouldn’t stop him from helping

Chu He privately.

As long as he got the inheritance, everything else was no issue.

“Okay, I’ll sign,” he said, picking up the pen.

“Wait a second,” Gu Qingcheng quickly snatched the contract from Gu Tianhao’s hand.

Just as Gu Tianhao had made up his mind to sign, Gu Qingcheng took the contract back, making his heart race.

“Qingcheng, my good daughter, we made it clear, you can’t back out now when I’m about to sign,” he said.

Gu Qingcheng ignored him, placing the contract on the table and swiftly typing on a keyboard. She printed a new contract and handed it to Gu Tianhao.

“Sign it.”

Gu Tianhao looked at the new contract. It was similar to the previous one, but Gu Qingcheng added a clause that once he divorced Chu He, he was not allowed to help Chu He and Gu Mei, nor the Qin family, or anyone else. If Gu Qingcheng found out he helped Chu He, the contract would be void, and he wouldn’t get the inheritance.

Gu Qingcheng truly despised Chu He and Gu Mei, extinguishing Chu He’s hope.

As for him, he didn’t care about Chu He and Gu Mei; he only cared about securing the inheritance.

He signed the contract without hesitation and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng handed him an ink pad and recorded with her phone, “A signature can be forged, and so can a fingerprint. The contract is only valid when both the video of signing and the fingerprint are present.”

“You still doubt your father?” Gu Tianhao asked.

“It’s not about trust,” Gu Qingcheng implied, “I can’t allow any mistakes in this matter.”

Gu Tianhao hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to be so cautious, but with the inheritance almost within his grasp, he didn’t mind her actions.

He pressed his thumbprint on the contract and read it as Gu Qingcheng instructed.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the video in her hand, first sending it to her secure email as a backup. She then signed the contract and pressed her fingerprint in one go.

“One copy for you, one for me,” she handed the other copy to Gu Tianhao. “Once you’ve dealt with the contract’s terms, we’ll go to the law firm for the inheritance transfer.’

Gu Tianhao, looking at the contract, was overjoyed, “Okay, my good daughter, your father will listen to you. Wait for my good news.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t even glance at Gu Tianhao, folding the contract and putting it in her handbag before leaving.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s action, Gu Tianhao also folded his copy and placed it in his suit pocket before leaving.

At that moment, Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng waiting for her. She exhaled softly and walked towards him.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng, Huo Sicheng felt as if all the beauty in the world was coming his way, his narrow, phoenix-like eyes filled with deep, tender affection.

His eyes, shining like stars, looked at her tenderly, making her cheeks redden.

“My matters are taken care of,” she stopped in front of Huo Sicheng, “Go handle your business, I have other things to attend to.”

Huo Sicheng took her hand gently, his fingertips tenderly caressing hers, softly saying, “Where are you going? I’ll take you there.”

Gu Qingcheng replied, “No need, I can go on my own.”

Gu Tianhao approached, seeing Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng’s affectionate manner. Smiling affectionately, he said, “Qingcheng, Sicheng, your father will leave first.

Gu Qingcheng disliked Gu Tianhao using ‘father’ to take advantage of her and Huo Sicheng. She ignored Gu Tianhao, speaking softly to Huo Sicheng, “I’m leaving too. Come back early after you’re done.”

Huo Sicheng replied, “Okay.”

Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words, Gu Tianhao eagerly asked, “Where are you going, Qingcheng? Let father take you. I’m free now, I can take you anywhere..”
