“Alright, not something that I need to concern myself about.”
Once Gu Shishi had everything sorted out, she agreed with the boss’s perspective.
All she could say was Madam Gu was being brainless about this whole thing.
What could she do about that?
When one insisted on picking up a rock and smack one’s own feet!
“When that day comes, she will always have her precious Wushuang!”
Gu Shishi waved her hands and felt that she didn’t need to worry about this at all.
“There’s true love between the two of them.”
Huo Sishen narrowed his dark eyes and stroked the soft and smooth skin on the back of her neck with his thumb.
“Mmm.”
He did not, nevertheless, agree with her last statement.
When the day came, Gu Wushuang was probably the first one to stay as far away from Madam Gu as possible.
If she was truly a familial one, how would she stay this entire time at the Gu’s and never once cared about her own parents and always targeted Gu Shishi?
The first thing that Gu Wushuang would do when she realized what was going on was to use the fact that she was with Huo Wencheng as her leverage and ask Gu Jiangxin for shares of the Gu’s Corporation.
As for Madam Gu who had nothing, she would have no more use to Gu Wushuang.
Gu Wushuang’s character was flawed.
This was the worst move that the Gu family had committed in the past 20 years.
But Huo Sishen saw no reason to tell this to the girl.
No reason to have that affect her negatively.
As for the Gu’s assets, he would help her get back what was rightfully hers!
After Mother Gu had taken off, she called up her husband with her eyes reddened on her way back to the house.
“Jiangxin, when are you coming home?
“Can you be home tonight? Well… what I am trying to say is, we have been a couple for forever. We can get a divorce first, that would make Shishi feel better and not think that I am an unreasonable person. Yes, once we are divorced, I will go and convince Shishi.
“Wushuang’s surgery must take place within a week. We can’t wait any longer!
“Yeah, yeah, yeah! Then I will see you tonight. Okay! We will head to the Civil Affairs Bureau first thing tomorrow morning. Then I will go look talk to Shishi again in the afternoon!”
Sitting next to her and listening to her conversation, Huo Wencheng felt a headache coming on.
“Aunty, you should be rash about this. Even if you divorce Uncle, it doesn’t mean that Gu Shishi will really…”
Men tend to be more rational and are more practical when it came to situations like this.
“It will be alright, Wencheng. What Shishi said was right. I should set an example first.”
That way she could not be labeled the unreasonable mother in the future.
“I have been with your Uncle Gu for many years. Don’t worry. So many young couples get fake divorces just to buy a house nowadays.”
Huo Wencheng was speechless.
Yes, but these young couples had contracts on how to divide up their assets before their fake divorces for the purpose of buying a house, just in case one of them would change their mind and turn the divorce into a real one!
But how was he to tell this to his future mother-in-law?
Was he supposed to have his mother-in-law second guess his father-in-law? If the two of them got back together, then he would have offended his father-in-law!
“Alright then. At least let Wushuang know ahead of time then.”
The only thing that Huo Wencheng could do was to let his girlfriend talk some sense into her mother.
Mother Gu just waved her hand.
Huo Wencheng could do nothing but to smile bitterly.
He hoped he was just overthinking this.
***
After the Gu family drama, Gu Shishi’s life returned to its usual peacefulness.
Huo ChuChu had been chatting with her on WeChat everyday telling her how she had learned so much about business management from Executive Assistant Meng and how there were all these behind-the-scene things about partnerships that she was unaware of…
Huo ChuChu was very excited and would leave a series of voice messages every time.
Gu Shishi would listen to them attentively while she soaked happily inside her massaging tub happily.
She couldn’t really understand everything that Huo ChuChu was telling her but she could tell the excitement in Huo ChuChu’s voice.
