Chapter 364 – He hoped he was just overthinking it. (2)
Gu Shishi gulped. “Shrewd.”
And her white lotus mother had nothing better to do than to come and ask her to get a divorce.
Now she was about to be dumped… was that some sort of a karma?
Recalling how her mother was telling her about “as long as the two of your love each other, the marriage certificate is irrelevant” just a moment ago, this was certainly an irony.
The truth was, not even the marriage certificate could save her!
“Does Gu Jiangxin not care how others look at him at all?” Gu Shishi, too, was a nosy girl. “I thought being a prestigious family, he would at least care about keeping up his front.”
He was about to divorce his wife and marry his affair?
What was he thinking about?
This was the kind of scandals that entertainment reporters loved. In the day and age of the internet, she could only imagine the publicity of this!
“He did in the past.”
The look on Huo Sishen became more interesting.
He stroked her on her head, as though what he was about to say would contaminate her.
“But the woman gave him a boy earlier this year. He was just a month old right before they found you.”
“… … … …”
It took Gu Shishi quite a while before she was able to make a sound, “Hot dang!”
He had a child at his age!
A son at that!
Gu Shishi got it immediately!
All these years, Gu Jiangxin only had a sickly daughter under him. Nevermind about taking over the family business, it was difficult for her to even be married into a prominent family.
In his eyes, Gu Wushuang was but a spoiled good.
Who would have thought that, 25 years into his marriage and after Madam Gu had failed to give birth to a second child no matter how hard they had tried, he was about to have a real son that he had wanted more than anything else in the world when he was about to give up.
The kind that could inherit the family business!
His mentality had changed completely.
He was never serious about the other woman. But all was different the moment that his son was born.
All the more that Gu Shishi seemed so… irrelevant when she was found.
As such, Gu Jiangxin quickly packaged her up and milked her out for the last bit of her usefulness and shoved her to Young Master Huo before everyone learned about how crude she was.
The Huo family, the wealthiest of all businessmen in this city.
His real daughter marrying the older Huo son and his adopted daughter, the younger!
Screw the curse, fengshui, or whatever… one of these days one of the two Huo’s brothers would take over the Huo’s family business and, either way, the Gu family would be a part of that!
One way or another, him, Gu Jiangxin, would become the father-in-law of the Huo’s successor!
He was able to make the perfect move on his part with his two daughters and the twist of the two of them being switched at birth.
Now that both of his daughters were settled and, as soon as Gu Wushuang had recovered from her surgery and successfully married into the Huo’s, he could move forward to marrying the other woman, er… no, to bring the son that he got at his old age home!
As for Madam Gu who had been with him all these years, naturally they would choose to have an amicable divorce due to differences in personalities after their daughters were wedded.
“This man…”
Gu Shishi had it all figured out right away.
He probably wasn’t all that fond of Gu Wushuang either.
He may have loved her as a father in the past, but that had since changed over the years.
He was a sly one.
And, someone like Madam Gu who only knew to whine and pull little stunts, was no match of his.
If she asked for a divorce when she returned home, Gu Jiangxin would be so happy that he would agree to it immediately and sign with zero hesitation!
And he probably wouldn’t give Madam Gu too much assets either.
All of those belonged to his younger son!
Not even Gu Wushuang would see much of those, never mind the wife that he was about to abandoned…
