Chapter 361 – Huo Shishen rolled over and pinner her down onto the couch. (2)
Did Huo Sishen so much free time on hand because he stayed home all day long that he took on training this girl?
Then there was that grandeur wedding that he threw hundreds of millions on. Was he just throwing away the inheritance that he had received from the Huo’s when he split from the family?
Did that mean Huo Sishen did not really have a steady source of income?
As opposed to his early speculations that Huo Sishen might have been managing or invested in some assets that nobody was aware of?
Huo Wencheng narrowed his eyes as he thought. Under this tense atmosphere, he let out a sigh of relief.
At this very moment, a well-timed voice dragged him back to reality.
Gu Shishi said in her soft, poised, and very direct way, “As Madam Gu said so casually that the marriage is just a certificate and a divorce is nothing important.
“Then why don’t you go home and divorce Mr. Gu?”
Mother Gu was taken aback.
As did Huo Wencheng.
As much Huo Wencheng had spent half of his life in learning to negotiate in the business world, he must admit that Gu Shishi’s counter was effective and straight to the point.
“Do undo others as you would have them do unto you, right, Madam Gu?”
Nobody would dare say that Gu Shishi was unfamilial outside of this house even after she had turned down Mother Gu!
Yup! Why would a mother force her own daughter to do something that even she was not willing to do so herself?
Was she asking her daughter to be familial? No! She was forcing her daughter to walk down a path of no return!
It was obvious who was in the right!
Just one sentence and Gu Shishi had put herself on the moral high ground.
Huo Sishen’s profound black eyes sparkled and were filled with appreciation for this girl.
His thin lips that were tightened earlier from his displeasure had curved upward.
“That make sense.”
He took his girl’s side verbally.
It was not every day that Gu Shishi was validated by the boss. She quickly turned and gave him a happy look.
With his encouragement, she became bolder.
“You should go, Madam Gu.
“I have said all that I could.”
Mother Gu had turned pale.
She felt so feeble that she could not even cry anymore.
As much as a white lotus that she was, what was the point of performing when there was no audiences?
“Will you get a divorce as long as I divorce your father?!”
Mother Gu had lost it entirely.
“I will go sign the paperwork today! What other conditions do you have? Just tell me!”
Huo Wencheng was very surprised. “Aunty...”
He didn’t understand. Of course he didn’t.
But she was a mother.
She could do the craziest things one could imagine in order to save her child’s life!
When she was told in front of the child’s bed by the doctor that the success rate of the surgery was only 50%, she could pray to all gods, kowtow nonstop, donate money to temples to maintain buddha statues, swore that she would become a vegetarian, exchange for her daughter’s life with her own... she could do all of them!
What was a mere temporary divorce from her old husband?
Gu Shishi sighed.
Huo Sishen gripped her little hand a little and said in a deep voice, “Siyi, see them out.”
“Shishi, I will get the divorce today and then I will send over a copy of the divorce decree...”
Mother Gu, who was already in her own world, was helped out by Huo Wencheng. They could still hear her voice from a distance away.
Holding her shoujo manga in her hand, Gu Shishi suddenly lost all interest in it.
There was no disappointment because there was never any anticipation, nor did she feel sad.
One way or another, Mother Gu’s concern for her daughter was probably real. It was touching and all, but Gu Shishi had never experienced it herself.
“It’s getting late,” said Huo Sishen after he had taken a look at his watch.
He had successfully grabbed Gu Shishi’s attention.
“Hmm?”
She looked at the time. It wasn’t even 4 PM yet.
“It’s not that late. Dinner won’t be in a little while.”
“But if we leave now, the service window will already be closed.”
