Gu Wushuang, on the other hand, let out a bluish sigh. “Sister Shishi, are you just going to give up like that? Are you really okay with a kid who can’t even talk taking away what’s rightfully yours?”
Gu Shishi snickered.
Gu Wushuang was the one who wasn’t okay with that!
This melon was totally not what it started out to be anymore.
It had now turned into an under-the-table warfare over inheritance!
“Sure, why not? I don’t know anything anyway and none of these were mine to begin with. Little Sister Wushuang, you can have all of it.
“Laters~”
Gu Shishi rolled her eyes and slammed the phone done.
*** ***
In a BMW parked in an underground garage.
Gu Wushuang pulled out her earpiece looking very unhappy.
“What’s the matter? She didn’t want to go with you to negotiate?”
Huo Wencheng stroked her shoulder and looking somewhat solemn himself.
Gu Wushuang shook her head. “No, she won’t.”
Huo Wencheng frowned.
“She didn’t want a penny?”
“I don’t know what is going through her mind. She was reluctant no matter what I say.”
Gu Wushuang had a look of helplessness on her.
“It’s not a bad thing if she wants out.” Huo Wencheng looked around and made sure that there was nobody around and that all the windows were shut tightly before he carried on. “With the two of you banding together, you will have the best leverage to make Uncle Gu feel that he was in the wrong and force him to comply with your requests. That way, however, will undoubtedly bring out conflicts between the two of you in the future.”
Gu Wushuang shook her head. “We can only consider one step at a time now.”
There would be nothing left if she was too late.
If she didn’t secure her share right now, who knew whether Gu Jiangxin would have a second or third child in the future? Then what??
Huo Wencheng held her hand. “It’s not too bad right now. I’ll go with you to talk to Uncle Gu now that Gu Shishi is out.”
Gu Wushuang sighed, her limpid eyes sad and apologetic.
“I am sorry, Brother Cheng, to let you take on so much for me. I can’t help you on anything. It was always you worrying about matters concerning me.”
“Why the silly talk? My mom is being hot headed right now but how long do you think she can go on like that for? There is no other man in the family other than me. She doesn’t have much choice.”
Huo Wencheng held her hands between his.
“How are you so cold? Let me take you home first?”
“No, Brother Cheng. Take me to Daddy’s.”
Gu Wushuang gritted her teeth.
“I won’t ask for much. Just something to guarantee Mommy’s and my future. As you know, I don’t know much about business but for Mommy, I…”
“I know. I know.” Huo Wencheng immediately put his arm around her shivering shoulder. “I understand what a difficult place you are in right now. You have been dealing with the disappointment and despair coolly and calmly all for Aunty Gu.
“Don’t worry. One way or another, you will still have my support.”
Gu Wushuang pinched her pink lips shut and acknowledged what he said gently. With a slight smile, she placed her chin on his chest.
“Thank you, Big Brother Cheng.”
“You silly little fool. You are going to be my wife. Fighting for what’s yours is also fighting for your dowry for the Huo’s.”
Huo Wencheng smiled.
Gu Wushuang lowered her eyes. “Mmm. Big Brother Cheng, my heart is still set on Jiahe’s skincare product line. You won’t find me silly for that, would you?”
That was less than 20% of the Gu’s Corporation’s net worth.
Huo Wencheng rubbed her on her head. “Of course not. I feel that you are an appreciative one. Smart and know your limits. And also not pushing Uncle Gu too far.”
Gu Shishi would probably vomit had she heard this.
Gu Wushuang was the one who was talking about 70% and 30% there when she was instigating her to go look for troubles with Gu Jiangxin. Now she turned around and pretended how thoughtful she was by only wanted the little skincare product line?…. Appreciative? Knowing her limits?
That had thoroughly exposed her wickedness of trying to take advantage of someone else for her own personal gain!
