Qi Shaoze felt Gu Mei’s hand on his waist and removed her unattractive hand.
“Your mother just praised your ladylike upbringing, and yet you throw yourself at me. Is this the behavior of a well-bred lady as your mother described?” Chu He’s face stiffened, “Master Qi, I…”
“Women who throw themselves at men like this are only one kind…” Qi Shaoze interrupted Chu He, speaking deliberately to Gu Mei, “A whore.”
Gu Mei’s eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that after flirting with Qi Shaoze, he insulted her by calling her a J woman.
Had he gone mad?
How could he humiliate her like this? Had he forgotten that they were in a partnership?
Chu He couldn’t stand hearing the term ‘whore,’ as it always reminded her of her younger days working in nightclubs.
“Master Qi, you’re going too far,” she scolded Qi Shaoze. “How can you insult my daughter like that? Don’t forget, you’re in a partnership with her now. You must respect my daughter!”
“To earn respect from others, one must first respect oneself,” Qi Shaoze said coldly, glancing at Chu He and then turning to Gu Mei. “Speak properly, physical advances only make you seem frivolous, which is not the behavior of a noble lady your mother praised.”
Gu Mei thought Qi Shaoze was crazy.
The first time she met him, she flirted and touched him all over, and he didn’t reject her.
Today, she merely hugged his waist, and not only did he push her away, but he also insulted her. It was too much!
What was he pretending for? If he really despised her, he should have pushed her away the first time she touched him. Now he was being hypocritical, which she found infuriating.
She was so angry that her already unattractive face froze in a false gentle expression, making her look even uglier.
If it were before, she would have cursed Qi Shaoze for taking advantage and acting innocent.
But now, she had no one to rely on except Qi Shaoze.
She endured, holding back her anger to first take revenge on Gu Qingcheng, and then she would settle the score with Qi Shaoze later.
“I was wrong,” she said, pinching her leg hard to force tears in her eyes, “I’m sorry, I won’t touch you again.”
Chu He was about to explode in anger at Qi Shaoze’s actions, but she was shocked by Gu Mei’s weak and submissive apology to him.
Usually, if anyone dared to insult Gu Mei, she would immediately retaliate or even curse.
But today, not only was Gu Mei not angry, she even admitted her fault.
She suddenly felt like she didn’t recognize the Gu Mei in front of her.
Qi Shaoze’s eyes, deep and meaningful, stared at Gu Mei for a while, and then he said, “I was also wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken so harshly. But I hope you’ll be more aware of your behavior in the future. We are just partners, not husband and wife. Don’t cross the line.’
Gu Mei looked at Qi Shaoze with tearful eyes, “You’re not wrong, it’s my fault.
My behavior was indeed too frivolous. Rest assured, I will not cross the boundaries of our partnership again.” She said this, but she was seething inside.
Cross the line?
Indeed, she and Qi Shaoze were not husband and wife, just partners.
But she would definitely become Mrs. Qi in the future. When she became Qi Shaoze’s wife, she would settle today’s humiliation!
“Alright, as long as you don’t cross the line,” Qi Shaoze replied, then said to Gu Mei, “I’ll be worried and anxious about your sister until I’m sure she’s alright.”
Gu Mei responded, “Just wait a moment, the bodyguard will go check on my sister soon.”
Qi Shaoze turned his head to look at Gu Qingcheng on the monitor.
Chu He stared blankly at Qi Shaoze and Gu Mei, unable to understand what wa going on between them..
