Inside the car, Huo Sicheng’s pupils contracted.

His heart was filled with ecstatic joy.

She said, “Would he be willing to accompany her on the red carpet?”

Of course, he would be willing to accompany her.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that he had asked her before, and she had rejected him.

Now, as he looked at her about to walk the red carpet, she suddenly asked him, catching him off guard.

His lips twitched as he was about to respond.

However, his gaze fell on Gu Qingcheng, who got out of the car and covered the car door with her wide sleeve, her back turned to him. A bitter expression flashed in his eyes.

Huo Sicheng’s faint voice of refusal from behind made Gu Qingcheng widen her eyes.

She had invited him to walk the red carpet with her, and he actually refused her?

In an instant, she felt a sour bitterness and became quite displeased.

Without saying a word, she forcefully closed the car door and strode towards the red carpet with an imposing demeanor.

The sound of the car door closing resonated, letting Huo Sicheng know that Gu Qingcheng was angry.

There was a trace of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.

If she truly wanted him to accompany her on the red carpet, she wouldn’t need to use her sleeve to cover the car door.

So, by using her sleeve to shield the door, she intended to prevent the media from capturing him.

In the end, she had only asked with her mouth, but she didn’t actually want him to agree to walk the red carpet with her.

He had self-awareness; she would rather trend with Qi Shaoze than appear openly with him in front of everyone.

Jealousy.

He was jealous of Qi Shaoze.

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng watched the Lincoln car drive away, feeling like a dull knife twisting in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

That dog of a man!

He flirted with her incessantly every day, but only limited to her. Whenever she wanted him to appear with her in front of others, he would refuse.

She was feeling jealous.

Could it be that he was also afraid of trending with her and being seen by his “white moonlight”?

Or was there a chance that Huo Sicheng’s “white moonlight” would eventually return to him?

Regardless, he was truly despicable!

“Wow, Gu Qingcheng is here! Oh my god, every time she appears at the Peach Blossom Cup, she never disappoints. This dragon and phoenix robe is stunning. Gorgeous Miss Gu, look this way!”

Sharp-eyed reporters saw Gu Qingcheng and enthusiastically praised her, attracting everyone’s attention.

Reporters sought attention, so they focused their cameras on whoever was walking the red carpet, especially on the final appearances.

Without a doubt, Gu Qingcheng was the showstopper.

When she saw Gu Mei and Chu He, she already knew that they deliberately timed their appearance to block her and disrupt her spotlight.

Unfortunately, no matter how much money Chu He offered, she would still be the final showstopper, not Gu Mei.

She couldn’t believe that Chu He wasn’t aware of the Peach Blossom Cup’s requirement for participants to wear traditional costumes. Instead, Chu He knew the rules and deliberately wore a formal dress.

The mother and daughter knew that she would wear traditional attire, so they deliberately chose to be different from her. Two contrasting extremes, two sisters, were bound to have a place in today’s hot topics.

Chu He’s tactics were somewhat interesting, using this underhanded method to challenge her.

Of course, it was also possible that Huo Sicheng had kept her rescue a secret. Chu He and Gu Mei might have assumed she was dead, naturally positioning themselves as the final spotlight guests.

Regardless of whether Chu He believed she was dead or not, she had prepared herself for her mother and Chu He’s mischief during her recovery period.

“Hi, everyone, good morning.” She smiled faintly, radiating beauty, grace, and politeness as she greeted everyone.

“Miss Gu is as beautiful as a celestial being. Please look this way.”

“Principal Gu, over here, look at the camera.”

“Oh my god, this is the dress that Vice Principal Li mentioned in his recent interview. Gu Qingcheng’s dress exudes a regal aura. Majestic, fierce, and dominant. No wonder she’s the final spotlight and trending topic reserved for

Gu Qingcheng.”

People openly praised Gu Qingcheng without reservation.

Those reporters who were supposed to focus on Chu He and Gu Mei now aimed their cameras at Gu Qingcheng, capturing her extravagantly.

In an instant, Gu Mei and Chu He, the mother- daughter duo, lost the attention of the crowd. They stood on the red carpet like abandoned rubbish.

Gu Mei’s grip on the wheelchair’s armrests had turned her knuckles white, and her teeth were gritted. With hatred in her eyes, she looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was the center of attention.

“Mom, she’s not dead. That wicked woman isn’t dead!”

When Chu He saw Gu Qingcheng, her smile froze on her face. Her expression twisted slightly, perhaps due to intense internal emotions.

“I knew she was saved when I couldn’t contact the assassin I sent to kill Gu Qingcheng. I just didn’t expect that this wretched woman, who I tortured so brutally, would still be able to attend the Peach Blossom Cup. She’s a tough one, enduring all my abuse!”

Listening to the media’s praises of Gu Qingcheng, Gu Mei’s annoyance was reaching its limit. Why were they praising Gu Qingcheng? What about her own incredible beauty, as splendid as a fairy? Were these reporters blind?

“Do you see what she’s wearing? Does she really think she’s an empress?” Gu Mei wished she could tear Gu Qingcheng apart. She muttered with disdain, “It’s the modern era, why wear ancient clothes? To trend, she resorts to such cheap tactics.”

Chu He looked coldly at Gu Qingcheng, not far away, and explained to Gu Mei, “The Peach Blossom Cup is a classical dance competition, and the official rules require traditional attire. Gu Qingcheng’s outfit is correct.”

Gu Mei’s jealousy was driving her nearly crazy. Now her mother, Chu He, was defending Gu Qingcheng, adding fuel to the fire. It was driving her to the brink.

“Mom, I’m your daughter. How can you speak up for that wretched woman, Gu Qingcheng?”

“I’m just telling you the rule. It doesn’t mean I’m speaking up for her.” Chu He warned Gu Mei with a look, “Hide your hatred and jealousy toward Gu Qingcheng! There are so many reporters here. If any of them captures your expression, they’ll definitely twist the story against you.”

Gu Mei wasn’t as adept at controlling her expression as her mother Chu He. She was full of fury when she was provoked by Gu Qingcheng earlier.

Now that she heard her mother’s words, she quickly put on a fake smile.

She whispered to her mother, “Mom, are you really going to let Gu Qingcheng steal the spotlight like this? We need to find a way to embarrass her.” Chu He looked at Gu Qingcheng with a malicious glint in her eyes. “Xiao Mei, you must follow my lead today, even if you and Gu Qingcheng are at odds. You must behave like a good younger sister in front of her.” Gu Mei’s eyes widened in shock, looking at her mother Chu He. She couldn’t believe that her mother would want her to obey Gu Qingcheng.

“Mom, do you even know what you’re saying?”

Gu Mei had been humiliated by Gu Qingcheng, even to the point of being beaten, severely injured, and almost killed by her. Even Chu He had been slapped by Gu Qingcheng. And now her mother, Chu He, was making her listen to Gu Qingcheng?

“I’m just telling you to do this. It doesn’t mean I’m supporting her,” Chu He said to Gu Mei, “Look at how Gu Qingcheng is shining right now. Soon she’ll get her comeuppance!”

Gu Mei was taken aback, looking at the hatred in Chu He’s eyes.. She couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, what do you plan to do to get back at Gu Qingcheng?”
