Chapter 480 - When her second brother returned, he could beg and plead in tears. (3)
“Dad, I am sorry. I overheard it one time when you were on the phone with Uncle Chen. I’ve always recorded with my cellphone in the past… I have everything on recording from that day…”
Huo ChuChu’s mouth dropped opened but she immediately reached up and covered up her mouth firmly!
How vicious was that?!
If this person became her Second Sister-in-law, she worried that she would empty out the Huo’s!
In a few years’ time, the Huo’s will turn into the Gu’s!
“Gu Wushuang… had become like this?!
It was the voice of Old Mrs. Huo, mixed in with worries from after the facts.
Huo ChuChu was shocked. She didn’t know that her grandmother was in her mother’s room!
Mother Huo’s voice came quickly. “Mom, do you now see what I am so insistent this time? I know you want to have a great grandchild. I want to be a grandmother too but Gu Wushuang is a big, fat no.”
Old Mrs. Huo sighed deeply. “Yes, you are right. I am getting confused at my old age. I was anxious when I heard that Gu Shishi was pregnant. That’s on me. I thought that if Wencheng likes that Gu Wushuang so much, let’s chalk it up wo their fate from their previous lives. Regardless of how strong or weak or her body is, they can at least give it a try. If she is able to get pregnant in the next year or so and give birth to a child, I will be able to meet up with your father guilt-free.
“But… knowing what we know now, we definitely cannot let her become a part of the Huo’s!”
Toward the end, Old Mrs. Huo’s aged voice became high-pitched.
“If she could do that to her adoptive father, what would she do to the two of us who had been objecting to her being with Wencheng in the last few years? If she is to join the Huo’s, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even wait till we are old and confused before she will shoot us like fish in a barrel!”
“Mom, I have given this some thoughts, Wencheng won’t be able to go down this path for much longer. How long do you think that poisonous little flower will stay with him and have children with him when he had nothing?”
Mother Huo went silent for a little while, then carried on.
“I will have Secretary Chen give him a final ultimatum. If he can have a child within a year, he can return to the Huo’s; otherwise, he has a decision to make or never return to the Huo’s.”
“But…” Old Mrs. Huo was confused. “This Gu Wushuang is not a good fit.”
Mother Huo acknowledged that. “I didn’t say we will be taking both her and the child in a year’s time.”
“A year? Is that enough time?”
Mother Huo went silent for a little while before she started again slowly.
“Of course not.
“I am just giving my son an opportunity to see who is the most unreliable person.
“If I don’t give him a chance, he will blame and hate me and always thinks that it is my fault.
“But, if I have given him an opportunity and it was Gu Wushuang who refused and leaves him, then it is not the problem of this mother. I trust that Wencheng will soon be able to see the truth.”
Huo ChuChu, standing outside of the door, was shocked.
Her mother’s manipulativeness rivaled that of the little poisonous flower!
Sure enough, her second brother, now banished by his own family, had rushed to defend Gu Wushuang in a effort to help her get back the Gu’s fortune.
In the end, would someone like Gu Wushuang be happy with staying with him?
More likely than not, she would turn around and feel that he had nothing and that he was the one who was dragging her down!
Once she had all of the Gu’s fortune and had mostly recovered from the surgery, why wouldn’t she find herself a man with better status?
What was the purpose of staying with a second generation who had been banished without a dime?
As for having a child… Gu Wushuang was no idiot. Would she truly bet her fate on that?
Once she had a child, what leverage would she still have?!
She would have to become a part of the Huo’s then!
If she couldn’t, she would have labels like divorced woman, homewrecker, child out of wedlock would follow her for life.
Half of her leverage of being a woman would be gone!
Would Gu Wushuang agree to that?
Most definitely not!
She wanted to have options!
Huo ChuChu shook her head and, for a second or two there, felt bad for her brainless second brother.
Her fists tightened.
One year. That was the time she gave herself to establish herself in the company!
When her second brother returned, he could cry grovel on his knees for his old position back!
Hrm!
That was for taking over her big brother’s spot over the years!
