Chapter 359 – My wife is about to take my last name. Oh so happy, yay! (4)
“Shishi… I, I was not aware of that!”
Mother Gu was frantic.
“I really didn’t know about it. I had Zhang-ma took care of all of those for you!
“And, yeah, yeah, I’ve fired Zhang-ma already. I have heard from Wushuang that she hadn’t been very respectful to her employers. It really wasn’t my idea to give you used clothes!”
Even Huo Wencheng, standing next to her, had a brief moment of a stiff look.
She wasn’t trying to be a mother to her; she was trying to be her enemy.
Never mind about getting a divorce in order to save Wushuang, Gu Shishi might not consent to even something much more minor!
Gu Shishi waved her hand casually.
She was only mad for the sake of the original owner.
She hadn’t lost anything by the hands of this woman.
She couldn’t be bothered with whether there was or was not any mother-daughter love.
She had none of those as far as she was concerned!
“As such, pardon me for not able to feel that so-called motherly love from you.
“I can donate money for a stranger out of compassion. I’m not a stingy person. You can have my entire asset in my pocket – 50 yuan. Take it. That will be my contribution.
“As for a divorce…?”
Gu Shishi rolled her eyes.
“Mrs. Gu, starting from the day that you have decided to abandoned me, everything that I wear, eat, drink, use, a place to stay are provided to me by this man sitting right next to me.
“He is the one who takes care of me when I am sick and also the one who sends me gifts when I feel down.
“So, do you get it now?
“I will give up the entire world before I leave him.
“Oh, and you are asking me to sign some papers… ugh, you really should have thought it through first, alright? A divorce? No way in hell! Now if you are asking me to change my last name to Huo tomorrow – I’d love to!”
The tall and strong man next to her shuddered.
Mother Gu, who was kneeling on the floor, almost collapsed.
By the time Gu Shishi was done talking, Mother Gu almost collapsed onto the floor.
As much as she hadn’t done much for Gu Shishi, Gu Shishi was, after all, the daughter that she had given birth to. Nobody wanted to be enemies with their own children and everybody wished only that their children would be filial after they have reached adulthood.
Parents would grow old. Many families had a lot of children so they would be surrounded by children after they had grown old and it would be lively around them. And that their children would always stand up for them if necessary.
But… Mother Gu had turned very pale right now.
It seemed she had just realized what kind of a mistake she had made and what she had lost.
Some things in life have no second chances.
At least, this was not something that could be fixed in a relatively short time.
Gu Shishi had no emotional attachment to her.
It was because she had given up on her from the very beginning and neglected her entirely.
She was getting back from her how she had treated her.
“Shishi…”
Mother Gu was crying for real this time.
She was shocked.
She now understood that she did not remotely measure up to Young Master Huo in her daughter’s mind.
Not even close!
Her words held no weight!
What about her Wushuang then?
Mother Gu felt a sense of desperation!
She could hear a sigh coming from next to her.
Huo Wencheng helped her up.
“Let’s go, Aunty.
“We should let the doctors know to proceed with the operation while Wushuang is still in a stable condition.”
Mother Gu was pale and she shuddered.
She had to give up on this?
She was so certain that she could convince her real daughter when she was on her way over.
Who would have thought that any possibility of this happened had been nipped in the bud by herself a long time ago?
Her love for one child had killed her love for another. It even killed the possibility of Wushuang being saved today.
Mother Gu felt cold all over.
