Chapter 1330 Just A Chess Piece 5

Doris’s cold voice was filled with a hint of disdain, and Gu Lingsha suddenly felt a piercing pain in her heart upon hearing that.

“I told you, men are unreliable. I’ve witnessed many relationships over the years. Do you think it’s up to you to lecture me? I’ve seen many men. Gu Qiwu? I’ve never believed in his so-called love. Do you think someone so cold would have feelings? Hmph, he even looked at me coldly when we were in bed. What do you know?” Doris stated coldly.

Now that she did not need to hide anything anymore, she was quite frank about everything, “If a man doesn’t even care about sleeping with you, how much love do you think he’d have for the woman? He was just lying to everyone. A man like him only loves himself!”

When Doris said that, Gu Lingsha’s eyes instantly widened. She looked at Doris in shock, unable to believe she would say such a thing.

However, by the looks of that hostile gaze, Gu Lingsha did not doubt the truth in her words! She knew that Gu Qiwu was usually quite busy with work. Whether it was before or in recent years, he seemed to have always been like this. Usually, he liked to rest outside or just stayed at the office to rest.

He never had scandals with any women—this Gu Lingsha knew for sure.

However, now, when Doris put it that way, Gu Lingsha found it hard to fathom!

“I knew that this day would come for us. I just didn’t expect him to treat me this way. You’re his chess piece, so how am I not as well? All these years, perhaps he did have some feelings for me, but if you want to talk about love? Ha, don’t insult the word!”

Doris laughed grimly. “You’re in the same situation as I am. That’s why I’m telling you to be wary of Qi Feng. I heard that the effects of his legs recovering are showing. I think that he’ll be recovering very soon. You won’t seem that important anymore after that. After all, you only gave birth to Qi Weier, a disabled daughter, and you can’t give birth anymore. Why would the Qi family stop producing heirs at you? Haven’t these people always emphasized on carrying on their ancestral line? Even if Qi Weier’s all grown up, do you think she can become your successor?”

Doris analyzed for Gu Lingsha without holding back, “So, no matter what, if Qi Feng’s seat as Qi Kai’s CEO is firm, he might not need a woman like you. Qi Qiming wouldn’t let this happen either. Otherwise, Qi Feng can only make way for Qi Lei.”

“Mother, Father has actually mentioned these things to me as well...” Gu Lingsha revealed with a pale expression, “But I always thought that Qi Feng wouldn’t be like them. No matter what, he and I are a couple who had gone through a lot together, thus this bond can’t just be erased so easily.”

“Can’t just be erased so easily?” When Doris heard that, she instantly laughed in disdain again. “Then, why did you have a fallout with Qi Feng recently? Weren’t you very worried that Qi Feng would have feelings for Xi Xiaye? To be honest, if I were a man, I’d choose Xi Xiaye without hesitation too, and I wouldn’t look at you, Gu Lingsha! Look at yourself right now. What have you become? Where’s the elegance of an heiress on you? A woman must never be lower herself. Otherwise, you’ll look like a pile of trash to men. Do you understand?”

Doris put out the cigarette between her fingers on the ashtray before her and lightly touched her cheeks that still hurt faintly.

“Mother, I...”

Doris considered it for a while and then said, “I’ve thought about it. You shouldn’t be staying here like a useless person. That’s not great either. I’ve talked to your grandmother. Go over to be with her since she hasn’t been too well lately. I heard that Weiwei hasn’t been doing well either. Great then, that place is good for recuperation, so bring her along as well. After all, your grandfather likes her. Go be with your grandfather for a while. I think that it will be a good change for you.”

Her blue eyes flashed with concern too. As a mother, Doris had some sense of responsibility as well. When it came to her daughter, Gu Lingsha, she still loved her.

She did not know if this next series of events would happen smoothly either. If it did not go as planned, it could be considered protection for the mother and daughter. England was definitely safe. While she still needed to stay back and fight with Gu Qiwu, she could not just leave after decades of her time spent here. Otherwise, even Doris would look down on herself!

So, fight it was!

She must fight for it!

Why should she just watch on helplessly as Gu Qiwu handed Hui Gu to Mu Lingshi?

Doris had never lost to anyone!

...

Night took over. Even though the winter solstice had passed, the weather was still bitterly cold, and the sky darkened earlier than the months before. It was already completely dark at 7 p.m.

The entire City Z was engulfed in flourishing, dazzling lights.

Inside the private room of a luxuriously decorated yet isolated restaurant in the suburbs of City Z, Gu Qiwu had already ordered food. It was self-service hotpot.

The waiter had already brought the ingredients while Gu Qiwu began to open the drinks and serve them both. Ah Yong stood beside him.

“Boss, it’s almost time, but we still don’t see Qi Qiming. He wouldn’t have decided to not come, would he?” Ah Yong looked worriedly at the time and said in concern.

Gu Qiwu only sat there calmly, not worried at all as he leisurely held up his drink and took a sip. “Don’t worry. He won’t miss our appointment.”

Then, his sharp gaze looked ahead at the corridor. Ah Yong listened and paused, following Gu Qiwu’s line of sight and looked ahead too.

Indeed, Qi Qiming was walking slowly towards Gu Qiwu with the accompaniment of two bodyguards.

“He’s here, Boss!” Ah Yong said.

“Go out then. Guard the surroundings,” Gu Qiwu said lukewarmly.

“Yes, Boss!”

The entire restaurant was reserved, so the whole floor was empty. There were people guarding outside as well, thus there was nothing to worry about actually.

To be safe, Ah Yong still retreated to three tables away to wait.

Qi Qiming’s people stopped beside Ah Yong too. Qi Qiming continued walking towards Gu Qiwu alone. Soon, he reached Gu Qiwu. Then, he suddenly stopped and looked down at Gu Qiwu.

“Have a seat. I’ve waited for you for quite a while now, and I’ve ordered things you like.” Gu Qiwu did not look up at him as he leisurely picked up the bottle of drink and poured Qi Qiming a glass.
