Chapter 309: Inheritance Storm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to openly fall out with Gu Tianhao. She intentionally took out her phone and made a call.

“I’m on my way now. Please handle the matter.”

While speaking, she glanced at Gu Tianhao and gestured to her phone, indicating she was about to make a call.

Seeing this, Gu Tianhao said nothing more and turned to leave.

Once Gu Tianhao had left, Gu Qingcheng spoke. “Master, sorry to disturb you.” On the other end of the line, Li Jing cheerfully responded, “No problem, I guessea you ran Inco some Issues.

Gu Qingcheng inquired, “Is everything alright at Royal Dance?”

“Come tomorrow if you’re free. The Peach Lotus Cup dance needs your supervision, especially for Ziyu. You know, she listens to you the most,” Li Jing said.

“I understand, I’ll come over tomorrow,” Gu Qingcheng replied.

After hanging up, she saw Huo Sicheng by her side and smiled slightly, “Let’s head to the garage together.”

“Okay,” Huo Sicheng agreed.

Gu Qingcheng hurried to a luxurious restaurant’s private room, where she saw Yuan Qiaolan, dressed opulently but with an angry face, checking her watch.

“Oh, look at Miss Gu, such a diva,” Yuan Qiaolan said sarcastically upon seeing Gu Qingcheng, “You set the time and place, and yet you’re late. What’s it today? Did you go trending again, or have a secret rendezvous with your lover? Or perhaps you went to the Peach Lotus Cup?”

Gu Qingcheng, a minute late, was annoyed by Yuan Qiaolan’s mockery but had no excuse for her tardiness.

She sat opposite Yuan Qiaolan and explained, “I’ve been at the law firm dealing with the inheritance. The lawyers are coordinating, and once done, I’ll sign for the inheritance. Then, the estate lawyer will handle the sales. So, your rushing me is pointless, as I’ve told you before.”

“You remember our deal?” Yuan Qiaolan raised an eyebrow, glaring at Gu Qingcheng, “I see you trending every day, but you’ve never mentioned dealing with the inheritance, nor have you answered my calls. And now you’re telling me it’s not done? Do you think I believe you?”

Gu Qingcheng took out her phone to make a call, “If you don’t believe me, I can arrange a meeting with my lawyer right now.”

“A meeting with your lavvyer?” Yuan Qiaolan scoffed, “Your lawyer will obviously collude with you to deceive me. Why bother with a lawyer?”

Gu Qingcheng sighed feigning helplessness, “You don’t believe anything I say, so there’s no point in you asking me. The fact is, I’m still going through the inheritance process. Until it’s completed, I can’t access the inheritance.”

She paused for a moment, her brows furrowing tightly, and said angrily, “Not to mention, my nominal father, Gu Tianhao, is trying every means to prevent me from inheriting the legacy left by my grandfather. You’re pressuring me while I have to deal with Gu Tianhao and coordinate with the lawyers. I’m in a difficult position.”

Yuan Qiaolan watched Gu Qingcheng’s changing expressions, her initial anger subsiding slightly.

“Are you really not deceiving me?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Gu Qingcheng looked directly at Yuan Qiaolan, “You saved my life. I remember our deal very well, but the inheritance isn’t something I can decide on my own. I’ve made this clear to you before!” Yuan Qiaolan was angry, but pressuring Gu Qingcheng was futile.

But she couldn’t just let Gu Qingcheng drag this on; she needed to push Gu Qingcheng to get her inheritance sooner.

“Tell me straight, how long will it take?”

“I don’t know,” Gu Qingcheng replied indifferently, “I’ll only know once the lawyer sells all the assets.”

“You…” Yuan Qiaolan stood up abruptly, “I’ll give you one more month. If I don’t get the inheritance in a month, our deal is off, and you can forget about learning the truth about your mother’s death from me.”

Gu Qingcheng watched Yuan Qiaolan about to leave, her calm demeanor instantly turning stern.

“Two months,” she said firmly, “I’ll push my lawyer to finish this as soon as possible within two months.”

Yuan Qiaolan paused at Gu Qingcheng’s words, her anger softening slightly, arms crossed, looking down at Gu Qingcheng arrogantly.

“Fine, I’ve waited this long, two more months won’t matter. But if I don’t get the inheritance in two months, watch out!”

“Rest assured, I’ll make sure you get your inheritance, one way or another. If it’s not sold by then, I’ll hand it over to you, and you can sell it yourself,” Gu Qingcheng promised.

Yuan Qiaolan’s eyes flickered with calculation.

“That won’t work,” she objected to Gu Qingcheng’s offer, “If you hand the inheritance over to me, I’ll have to pay various taxes, and if I sell it, I might not get a good price.”

She wouldn’t make such a foolish decision. Gu Qingcheng, the Gu family heiress and Royal Dance’s principal, with her social status and connections, could certainly sell the inheritance for a high price.

As for herself, she knew her influence was nowhere near Gu Qingcheng’s, so she couldn’t sell the inheritance for a high price or perhaps not at all. Yuan Qiaolan always calculated her moves and wouldn’t make a losing deal.

“Fine, I’ll meet with my lawyer in a bit to urge them to speed up the process,” Gu Qingcheng reluctantly agreed.

“You’d better be quick,” Yuan Qiaolan snorted coldly, looking down at Gu Qingcheng, “Don’t keep me waiting.”

“No problem,” Gu Qingcheng replied as Yuan Qiaolan turned to leave, hinting, “Your son keeps calling and texting me every day. Perhaps you should stop him?”

Yuan Qiaolan paused again, frowning in displeasure, “Don’t pay attention to

Yuan Feng. I don’t want my son falling into your hands.”

“Not wanting your son to fall into my hands…” Gu Qingcheng smirked, “Then discipline him properly. Otherwise, if one day I can’t resist and agree to be his girlfriend, it will be interesting to see you caught between me and him.”

“Gu Qingcheng!” Yuan Qiaolan yelled in anger, “Don’t play games. I’ll discipline my son. He won’t bother you again.”

Gu Qingcheng lounged on the sofa, watching Yuan Qiaolan with amusement,

“That’s good. I also don’t want to be disturbed.”

Yuan Qiaolan, seeing Gu Qingcheng’s radiant smile, felt even more irritated.

“Gu Qingcheng, you don’t want to be bothered by my son? Don’t make it sound like he’s shamelessly clinging to you. Don’t think I don’t know about your past scheming, using your charms to get close to my son. Now you don’t want to be disturbed? Look at yourself in the mirror. My son wouldn’t be interested in a woman like you.”

“You…” Yuan Qiaolan was speechless, knowing Yuan Feng wanted to date Gu Qingcheng. Unable to argue, she left in a fury, “Shameless.”

Yuan Qiaolan stormed off upon saying that.

Watching the woman leave, Gu Qingcheng’s smile was replaced by a chilling expression.

If it wasn’t for stabilizing Yuan Qiaolan, she wouldn’t have met her.

Her priority was dealing with Gu Tianhao and divorcing Chu He, driving away Chu He and her daughter. She wouldn’t allow any complications from Yuan Qiaolan’s side.

The inheritance left by her grandfather was too valuable to be misused in her hands.

After leaving, Gu Qingcheng’s phone rang with an unfamiliar number. She hung up without hesitation.

But the number kept calling, and she finally answered.

“Gu Qingcheng, come to Star Dream Entertainment quickly! There’s been an incident..”
