Chapter 529 – He knew he won’t have a say in who he will be marrying. (3)
“She got pregnant a while ago. It was an accident, I think. Neither one of them were prepared. My daughter-in-law ran into her and Wencheng when she went for her prenatal checkup. She ran into them a week ago right after the miscarriage and Gu Wushuang was crying. My daughter-in-law overheard that she asked… for 50 million from Huo Wencheng and they will get a divorce.”
Chen Kexin’s eyes widened as she gasped. “50 million. Oh wow! Huh, I didn’t hear about that before.”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and waved her hand. “You are a single girl. You don’t need to know these things.
“And it only happened a week ago. I have invited you to come for flower appreciation and you skipped out on it.”
Chen Kexin let out a small cry. “Oh. I was travelling last week.”
She missed out on this big melon.
Gu Shishi wasn’t close with the Zhang family and took her son swimming the week before and also missed the gathering.
She, too, was surprised when she found out about it.
It seemed Chuchu didn’t know about that either.
“Alright. What’s talked about here stays here. Shishi, give this chocolate mousse a try,” said Mrs. Zhou with a smile.
“You must stay and play mahjong with us tonight. Grandma Chen will help you babysit your child.”
Gu Shishi bowed and smiled bitterly for real this time. “I need to head to a dinner event with my husband tonight.”
“Huh?”
Huo ChuChu truly didn’t know about this one.
It was until after Old Mrs. Chen’s mini birthday celebration did Mother Huo threw a glass tea cup at Huo Wencheng in front of the whole family.
“How did I end up with a trouble like you who can’t read people and bring about disasters to our family?!”
Mother Huo’s breathing was hastened.
“This was the first time that the Chen family did not invite us to their birthday banquet.”
Grandma Huo closed her eyes for a little bit and said, “Everybody is just waiting to watch our dramas right now. It would be unpleasant for us to be there anyway.”
Huo ChuChu had her head lowered and her head to her side while she listened quietly.
That how she learned about the incident.
Huo Wencheng’s eyes were bloodshot. “We used protection. The pregnancy was an accident. We didn’t expect her to have a miscarriage.”
He also didn’t expect that she would turn around and ask for 50 million yuan.
She said that her body was damaged and probably wouldn’t be able to have children again. The 50 million yuan would compensate for both her physical and psychological recoveries. That the amount was lowered considered the years that they had spent together.
All of those were just excuses!
The thought of it all made Huo Wencheng gritted his teeth.
He would most likely feel that he had wronged her had he not heard about the rumors between her and an oil tycoon. Lo and behold, not only had he heard about the rumors, she also saw photos taken stealthily of the two together on his desk a few days later.
Gu Wushuang was all over a blonde man passionately.
He was a 32-year-old man with two sons. He didn’t need her to give him children and he could help her take her businesses overseas.
She had her road paved for herself well ahead of time!
Huo Wencheng couldn’t be angrier.
All of his loyalty and protection for her over the years was but a big joke!
“Not only was she the fake daughter, she was not even a healthy one. And she is shameless, flirting with you starting from a young age. Now that she is all grown up, she was an unappreciative one, vicious and dirty. I have no idea what you see in her! You have pretty much lost your mind when it came to her! Had you listened to me back then and married Gu Shishi instead, none of this would have happened!”
Mother Huo, too, was infuriated.
“You are so much worse than your big brother. You have disappointed me so!”
Huo Wencheng turned pale and his hand trembled as he clenched them into fists.
Gu Shishi……
Her pretty and delicate face flashed through his mind……
“We have a dinner gathering tonight and you are coming with.”
Mother Huo took a few deep breaths.
“They want to meet both you and Chuchu.”
Huo Wencheng was taken aback a little. His pale face twitched before returning to normal.
He knew that he no longer has the rights to go against his mother’s wish.
Nor would he have the right to decide on who he would be marrying in the future.
“Alright.”
