Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Dog Bites Dog, A Mouthful of Fur

The lively Country W.

Yet, the Chi family in Rainy City was in disarray. Chi Jianguo stared at the stock market quotes on the computer in disbelief, his mind a complete blank.

“Impossible, how could it be…”

“I must have seen it wrong. I must have seen it wrong!”

His trembling hands gripped the mouse, shaking uncontrollably as he moved it.

His eyes bulged wide, glaring at the computer screen, as if his stare could make the screen flower.

Whether it was due to his hands shaking too much, the mouse just kept flickering, completely unresponsive to his commands.

“Impossible… impossible…”

As he muttered repeatedly, the study room door opened from outside. Gu Qiaomei approached him with a cup of coffee, “I made you some coffee, don’t overwork yourself.”

“Absolutely impossible…” Chi Jianguo seemed not to hear, still muttering impossibilities.

Gu Qiaomei noticed his abnormal expression, paused momentarily, set down the coffee, and then walked behind him.

Upon seeing the downward lines of the stocks displayed on the computer, her head buzzed with a “hum”!

How could it be?

Yesterday, didn’t Chi Jianguo say this stock was going up? To recover, they had invested all their money and even borrowed several millions from her brother!

“Impossible… How could it end up like this…” Chi Jianguo was completely oblivious to her, or so it seemed, his entire focus locked on the stocks, overwhelmed by the shock, completely unaware Gu Qiaomei was present.

After a moment of buzzing in her head, Gu Qiaomei briefly regained composure, still clutching onto a thread of hope, “Jianguo, this isn’t the stock you mentioned, right? We didn’t buy this stock, did we?”

Chi Jianguo’s dream suddenly shattered by someone’s interruption, his face turning fierce as he whipped around, “We bought it!”

He abruptly stood up, as if finding an outlet to vent, and slammed a slap onto Gu Qiaomei’s face, “It’s all because of you! It’s all your fault! What sin did I commit in a previous life to marry you! If only I had known, I should have…”

Gu Qiaomei was caught off guard by the slap, staggering from the force, instinctively covering her face. Hearing the cruel words from Chi Jianguo, she could no longer maintain the dignity expected of a noble lady, turned into a shrew, and lashed back at him, “If only you had known, you should have married Lin Mu, right?!”

Gu Qiaomei seized his words, stomping Chi Jianguo dead-on!

She let out a cold laugh, mocking, “Stop dreaming! Lin Mu is already dead! You know very well what you did!”

“Besides, even if Lin Mu wasn’t dead, you still married me back then! For what kind of man do you think Chi Jianguo is? Ha! You’re overestimating yourself! You’re the kind of person who would resort to any means for money! So you’d never give up on me and choose Lin Mu back then!”

“No, I got it wrong. You never had a choice, I originally wanted to divorce you, but you tricked me, shamelessly pulled me into doing things I shouldn’t have, otherwise I would have divorced you long ago! Lin Mu would never have chosen you, Lin Mu found out you had a wifey, came to you and clarified, she never intended to be with you, only wished to quietly give birth to her own child.”

It was all Chi Jianguo’s deception.

He tricked her into believing Lin Mu was a mistress, that Lin Mu seduced him, schemed deeply to become pregnant, using the child to threaten him into divorce.
