Chapter 398: Gu Qiaomei’s Threat


    Chi Jianguo now regretted it toote, having realized that he shouldn’t have listened to Chi Ya’s nonsense and driven Chi Enen away. Having a daughter leaning on Young Master Li, he should have been basking in glory, not losing one billion and, like a rat crossing the street, having everyone after him.


    Gu Qiaomei, shocked, copsed onto the sofa and muttered to herself, “No, it’s impossible… How could it be possible… How could Young Master Li fancy that illegitimate daughter? Absolutely impossible… There must be some mistake…”


    She refused to believe that, considering Li Beijue’s family background and identity, what woman could he not have?


    Chi Enen had neither the figure nor the background, and even if Li Beijue were just ying around, he wouldn’t be with Chi Enen.


    How could this be?


    Chi Jianguo was now full of resentment, all directed at her, “Humph! What’s so impossible about it! At least Enen has a brain, which is more than I can say for Chi Ya, who has had her brain in her bottom her whole life! All these years, what has she done except cause me trouble?”


    He was always refined in front of others but could be astonishingly unguarded with his words in private.


    When Gu Qiaomei heard him trample over Chi Ya like this, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at him, disbelievingly saying, “Jianguo, no matter what Xiao Ya has done, she is still your daughter; how can you speak of her like that?”


    “If it weren’t for the fact she’s my daughter, I should have personally sent her to prisonst time! Instead of believing you and letting you handle it!” Chi Jianguo was unusually cold.


    He wasn’t just speaking out of anger; it was genuine regret from the bottom of his heart.<div>


    If he had known Enen would rise so high, he would never have gone easy and let this foolish woman take care of Chi Ya.


    Gu Qiaomei went from disbelief toplete destion. She suddenly lifted her head and let out a coldugh, “Now you’re regretting it. What, do you want to mend the rtionship with Chi Enen now?”


    She had hit the nail on the head with Chi Jianguo’s thoughts. However, Gu Qiaomei continued mockingly, “Forget about it! That illegitimate daughter won’t recognize you anymore! Thest time she called, she addressed you as President Chi, not Dad. She’s long stopped recognizing you, and whether she acknowledges you now depends on whether she’s willing to or not.”


    “It’s because of you and Chi Ya that Enen misunderstood me,” Chi Jianguo said defensively but forcefully, “Regardless, I am her father; she can’t just not recognize me.”


    Gu Qiaomei was waiting for that very response, “So, why don’t you go find her now and have her ask Young Master Li to be lenient with my brother?”


    “Are you crazy?” Why would he do that?


    Gu Qiaomei gave him a look filled with scorn, delivering the coup de grace, “If that illegitimate daughter finds out the truth about what happened back then, do you think you’ll still be her father? You’ll probably not only lose her recognition but also face her relentless revenge… Ah!”


    After a p to the left cheek, Gu Qiaomei covered her cheek and screamed.


    Chi Jianguo red at her with fierce eyes, as if looking at an enemy, not the wife he had for over twenty years. Where was there any trace of tenderness?


    “If you dare to speak out, I won’t let you off easy!”


    Gu Qiaomei couldn’t care less about anything now. Her own brother and daughter were almost lost to her; what did she have to fear?


    She raised her face defiantly, tearing off the mask of pretense, “Chi Jianguo, I’m telling you, if you don’t find a way to help my brother and get Xiao Ya out, I’m willing to go down with you. I’ve already lost everything, whom should I fear?”


    “It’s not the same for you; you still want yourpany to go public, to rise to great heights. You’re a businessman, consider the pros and cons for yourself.”
