Chapter 40

It was really rare for Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ to actually bring her brain out with her.

Gu Anhao sneered in disapproval deep down as she listened to Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+s words. However, she kept on a straight face. So, what else do you want? Do you want to drug me again before sending me to another mans bed? No matter what it is, you are still the young lady of a prestigious family. Arent you afraid of any retribution at all?

Oh! Your mother is such a shameless wh*re and that is the reason why she gave birth to such a useless illegitimate child like you! Both of you are the same and equally thick-skinned! How dare you talk back to me? Have you forgotten what happened to your mother? There is no good outcome from becoming someone elses mistress! Gu Anhao, let me tell you something! You will always be an illegitimate child! Stop dreaming that you will ever be able to lift your head up high in this world! I will make sure that I will continue trampling all over you!

This would not be the first time that Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had trampled on her anyway. Gu Anhao had already been bullied by Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and her mother when she was just fourteen or fifteen years old. At that time, Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ pushed her to the ground and she kicked and stepped on her as though she was nothing. Ever since that day, Gu Anhao swore to herself that she would never be bullied by this pair of mother and daughter again.

Gu Anhao remained silent as she thought about this. This was because she did not want to create a scene in such a big hotel. Even though she knew that she would definitely be able to take on the both of them as she had been mastering her Taekwondo skills for the past few years, she knew that she had to control her urges. If she did not hold back, she was afraid that a life would be lost today!

When Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ saw how anxious Gu Anhao was and how she was desperately trying to leave, she stepped forward to face her directly. Why are you anxious to leave? Why arent you asking Zuo Hancheng to come over to help you this time? Did you finally realize that he is not interested in you and he has never taken you seriously before?

Wow! Just look at you. You are actually wearing a dress today! I didnt realize it before this. Did CEO Zuo finally bring out the woman in you? Hahaha. Gu Anhao, stop daydreaming already! Zuo Hancheng is a man with such a high status. You will never be worthy of him! Only someone like me can ever match up to him. You, pfft

Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ then raised her hand and swiped across Gu Anhaos chin with her fingernails. Gu Anhao raised her hand and grabbed hold of Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+s wrist immediately, hoping to throw her directly onto the ground.

However, when Mrs. Gu saw that Gu Anhao was about to take action, she quickly stepped in and supported Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ with one hand. She then stretched out her other hand and gave Gu Anhao a tight slap across her face.

Slap!

A clear and red palm print appeared instantly on Gu Anhaos face as her cheek started swelling in an instant. Gu Anhao could feel a burning sensation on her cheek where Mrs. Gu had just slapped her.

Even if she really wanted to tear them apart now, she gritted her teeth as she held herself back.

She knew that if she hurt the mother and daughter here today, they would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her. If she were to hurt even one of Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+s fingers, the Gu family would definitely use this as an excuse to get her arrested.

Gu Anhao, calm down! You can endure this!

Therefore, Gu Anhao clenched her fists tightly together, her fingernails embedded deeply into her own palms. She continued staring at Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and Mrs. Gu with a cold and hard expression on her face. Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was a little more vigilant because she knew that she had already successfully provoked Gu Anhao. Moreover, she knew that Gu Anhao was more than capable of hurting her if she really wanted to.

When Gu Anhao saw that Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was acting in a more cautious manner, she sneered before she said, If I really cannot take this anymore one day, I dont mind going to prison as long as I can take both your lives beforehand!

Gu Anhao was very young and she had a very small frame but somehow, both Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and Mrs. Gu frowned and quickly stepped aside as soon as they heard her words.

After walking out of the washroom, Gu Anhao could feel a burning pain on the spot where Mrs. Gu had just slapped her. Gu Anhao ignored all the onlookers who had heard all the commotion going on in the washroom, and she turned around and quickly walked into the elevator.

There were a few hotel staff in the elevator and they realized that the young girls eyes were red and swollen. Furthermore, it seemed as though someone had just slapped her because her left cheek was red and swollen.

The people around her could not help staring at her from time to time, and even though they wanted to express their concern, they did not do so because she seemed to be impenetrable. Gu Anhao kept to herself as she ignored the whispers of concern from the people around her.

Gu Anhao stepped out of the elevator without looking back as soon as it reached the ground floor.

There was a huge commotion outside the hotel at this time.

Gu Anhao did not expect the lobby on the ground floor of the hotel to be so lively. She was then attracted by the sound of reporters waiting near the VIP elevator. As soon as the VIP elevator arrived at the ground floor, the elevator door opened up and Zuo Hancheng appeared in front of everyone. If Gu Anhao did not see Zuo Hancheng at this moment, she would have already forgotten what she came here for.

The reporters quickly surrounded Zuo Hancheng as they tried to get a picture of him. Zuo Hancheng looked very fl.u.s.tered as he did not expect the reporters to be camping at the Deways Hotel, waiting for him. It seemed as though he did not expect his whereabouts to be leaked to the media. Therefore, he looked at the reporters with a disgusted and disgruntled expression on his face as they captured his picture.

However, what was even more shocking was the fact that Zuo Hancheng was not alone in the elevator.

There was a young and beautiful woman who stepped out of the elevator after him.

The woman was wearing a white chiffon dress and she had a very beautiful face that was as clear as the bright moon. As she was not wearing any thick clothing, she had a male suit jacket over her shoulders. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng came out of the elevator wearing only a s.h.i.+rt with no suit jacket. The suit jacket on the woman appeared to be his

The young and beautiful woman was holding tightly onto Zuo Hanchengs arm and the both of them were behaving in an intimate manner. The young woman took a few steps back as she stepped out of the elevator because she was slightly taken aback by the paparazzi. She continued holding onto Zuo Hanchengs arm as the both of them quickly walked out of the elevator in a cautious manner. It seemed as though they had been caught red-handed.

As Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and Mrs. Gu had already caused her to be very upset and angry earlier, Gu Anhao felt as though someone had just splashed a bucket of cold water over her when she witnessed this scene.

She did not know why she suddenly felt a cold breeze or why she would even be surprised to see Zuo Hancheng with another woman.

Even though Zuo Hancheng was her husband, the both of them did not feel anything for one another.

The both of them got married in the first place only because they had been used or exploited, or maybe it was all out of sheer coincidence.

Therefore, she should not even be shocked or surprised that he was having a relations.h.i.+p with another woman that he actually loved.

She should not feel unhappy or jealous! This was absolutely unacceptable!

Gu Anhao was probably surprised because Mobai told her that Zuo Hancheng was having a meeting with the boss of another multinational company. However, it turned out that he was actually having a date with another woman. That was the reason why it took her some time to calm down and sort out her own emotions at that particular moment.

After regaining her composure, Gu Anhao remembered her purpose for coming here today.

But why did these reporters suddenly appear? She missed out on her opportunity to share the news that would make it to the headlines just like that. Therefore, Gu Anhao was not bothered to even take out her phone to take pictures of Zuo Hancheng and the other woman. She made her way across the lobby of the hotel so that she could leave the scene immediately.

As Gu Anhao was walking across the lobby, Zuo Hancheng looked up and saw Gu Anhao walking on the other side of the lobby, right behind the reporters and paparazzi.

At the same time, he also saw the red mark on Gu Anhaos red and swollen left cheek.
