“Look for treatments for you. Do my best to convince Madam Huo. And, if treatment is really not an option and I am not able to convince her, then I will consider introducing someone to Madam Huo for her golden years and have them raise a new heir.
“If that is how much she wishes to have one.”
Gu Shishi, “… …”
Em… did the boss consider how Madam Huo would feel about that?
The boss truly didn’t like his mother much!
“It’d be a pity if she could not longer have another child. Putting herself in your shoes, it would not be right for her to pressure you either. She could still wait for Chuchu’s child.”
Gu Shishi, “… … … …”
Poor Chuchu!
“Alternatively, she could consider surrogate or adoption.”
Huo Sishen made a point that there were many options available.
“Madam Huo is a smart one. All she asks for is a presentable daughter-in-law and healthy descendent for the Huo family is all.”
Having said that, the light in his eyes dimmed a little and there seemed to be an almost unnoticeable sigh.
“Letting her know after the fact was the worst thing that could happen to her.”
Even him, as a bystander, was well aware of that. How did Huo Wencheng, something who had lived with her his entire life not know that?
“She is not your everyday housewife. She has become more and more controlling over those around her over the last ten years. She does not take any kind of resistance lightly.
“Huo Wencheng had done the last thing that he should have.
“The front is very important to her.”
In the past, her issue was only with Gu Wushuang’s health and she resent the idea of her becoming her daughter-in-law because she worried about having descendent.
But now, Gu Wushuang had completely become her number one enemy!
From this point forward, whenever she saw this fragile daughter-in-law on hers, she would be reminded over and over again how son that she had raised taking on the roles of being both his father mother had betrayed her, abandoned her, and went against her wish!
And exactly how would she be able to accept this daughter-in-law with both arms open?!
She would forever be the thorn in her eyes.
One that she must be rid of.
“Ugh, so Huo Wencheng had really messed this one up huh… …”
Gu Shishi let out a sigh quietly.
When one went up against one’s mother who had been widowed for many years, the more awkward it got, the worst the situation.
He should have tried to appeal to her emotions. What could move a mother and make her concede better than the coquettish of a young son?!
She looked over at her man with a cold face.
Oh boy. The more she looked, the more charming he seemed!
He was tall and handsome with unrivaled intelligence and emotional quotient. He could instakill 100 Huo Wencheng any day!
After the large and yummy melon, Gu Shishi couldn’t sit still any more. She hit up Huo ChuChu before the morning was over to revisit the melon.
Huo ChuChu filled in the holes in story – how upset Mother Huo was and how Old Madam Huo was so upset that she had to lie down in bed. It’d seem that even her heart was starting to bother her.
Huo Wencheng, after he was dragged home, got into a big fight with Mother Huo.
Huo ChuChu eavesdropped for most of the night. Mother Huo was very firmed about not letting Gu Wushuang into their doors She didn’t care that the two were already legally wedded and insisted that Gu Wushuang was to stay over at her own place!
Mother Huo went as far as to say that Gu Wushuang would have to walk over the dead body if she wanted to move into the Huo’s.
“My mom told my brother that he will not be succeeding the Huo’s family business unless he gets a divorce. I know my mother. There is no point to go up against her. Nobody in my family will be able to talk her out of it.”
Huo ChuChu could speak from her own experience.
She was happy to see her second brother in that position for a change. Most importantly, she hated the hypocritical Gu Wushuang. It was a no-brainer to side with her mother on this one.
This… could not get any more cliché!
And such was the nature of melons-eating With a slice here and a slice there, one would eventually be able to put together a complete melon.
