Ever since the day that she had walked out of the Huoâs mansion, Mother Gu had decided that she would never let her real daughter step foot inside the Guâs front door again!
Thinking of that, Mother Guâs hand started to tremble again.
If it was the Guâs status, Gu Shishi would never had the opportunity to marry Young Master Huo. Now she just turned her back, not care about her real family, and thought of that man as her only family!
âYour surgery was very successful,â said Mother Gu as she suppressed the displeasure inside of her and hold onto her adopted daughterâs fragile hand as her heart ached. âThe doctor said you are doing very well. Now, all you need is to recover from this and you will be able to live like a normal person.â
Gu Wushuang had guessed it already but, even so, she was ecstatic when she heard the confirmation from her mother.
Her surgery was successful and Gu Shishi had completely disappointed the Guâs couple. Gu Shishi would have lost all of her ability to compete over the Guâs fortune!
But Gu Wushuang was naturally a sensitive one.
She looked around her room a little and asked dubiously.
âWhereâs Daddy?â
Mother Gu sighed and said, âHe was here during your surgery last night and he stayed until 4 in the morning. He had something urgent to take care of so he flew back for a business meeting.â
She had never paid much attention to what was going on with the Guâs business. Everything was taken care of by Gu Jiangxin.
As the woman behind him, she didnât understand matters of the business and rarely asked any questions. She was used to traveling around all the time.
âOh yeah, you should let your daddy knows that you have woken up.â
She should not go right back to sleep after a full-body anesthesia.
Family members were responsible for keeping the patient engaged.
âAlright,â said Gu Wushuang with a smile, even though her little face was still pale.
Mother Gu dialed Father Guâs numbers immediately.
It ran for a few times but nobody picked up.
âIs it the time difference? Or that he is still on the plane? Itâs alright, Mommy. Why donât you and Brother Cheng just chat with me?â
Gu Wushuang, too, was used to Gu Jiangxin not being home so she didnât think much of it either.
Mother Gu patted her on the back of her hand and smiled. âOkay, let your Brother Cheng chat with you. Mommy has to go use the bathroom real quick.â
She was young once too and knew that a couple needed their quality time together.
Especially during these fragile moments, Gu Wushuang could really use some tender loving care from a boy, which was why she decided to excuse herself.
Gu Wushuang smiled shyly and there was a hint of pinkness on her otherwise pale cheeks.
Nevertheless, before she could even start passive-aggressively asking Huo Wencheng whether the scar on her would bother him... she heard a starling news from him.
It rattled her from the ground up!
âShuangshuang, Aunty has divorced Uncle.â
Huo Wencheng had a very complicated look.
Gu Wushuang was shocked. So shocked that she was sure she had heard wrong.
âWho...?â
âYour mom and dad.â
Gu Wushuang, laying on her bed, almost couldnât catch her breath.
âThatâs... thatâs impossible.â
Huo Wencheng told her the entire story with a bitter smile.
âIâve tried to talk Aunty out of it but she wouldnât listen to me. She even asked me not to tell you before the surgery.â
Gu Wushuang, who had just woken up from her anesthesia, only wished she could pass out and lose consciousness again!
It was Gu Shishi whom she wanted to have a divorce!
She didnât want Gu Shishi to have a better life than her!
Even if her plan had failed, at the very minimum, she would let the Guâs parents know what kind of a cold and unfamilial person that Gu Shishi was!
But...
Oh my god!
Was her mother a fool?
What was the point of her getting a divorce?!!
Gu Wushuang heaved heavily and, all of a sudden, she was heaving so much that she couldnât even talk!
She took a look at Huo Wencheng and her heart sank some more.
A very bad feeling attacked her along with the pain from her incision!
Sure enough, Huo Wencheng took a look at the back of Mother Gu who was in the hallway and lowered his voice.
âHow much assets or the Guâs shares do you and Aunty have?
âI am a little worried.
âUncle Gu answered a call last night before he took off...â
