Chapter 412 – Gu Shishi was a bit baffled. “Uncle?” (3)
If the Zhang family was to divvy up their fortune, Zhang Wen, as the youngest daughter returning home after the divorce, would for sure get a portion of it.
But who would they go to after she had passed away?
Gu Wushuang got worried all of a sudden.
She slowed down on her way out.
Zhang Sheng saw all of her little gestures.
“One way or another, Shishi is your daughter. Third Sister, you should let her carry out her familial duty.”
That made Gu Wushuang felt relieved immediately. In fact, she was happy.
The Zhang family felt that Shishi was not familial.
That meant that Shishi had completely lost the support from the Zhang family.
She immediately turned in a carefree way and said sweetly, “Uncle, Aunty, I am going to head out to the hospital now. I will be home to have lunch with you.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Sheng gave her a very standard smile.
His eyes, however, were not smiling.
Turning, he said sternly to Mother Gu, who refused to talk about Gu Shishi.
“Third Sister, if you still don’t want to listen to me, then come home to the capital with me.
“Before we leave, let’s get together with Shishi. There is something that I want to ask her.”
His sister had no idea how to nurture her relationship with her daughter and this was about to go off the deep end.
As her brother, he would have to step up.
“Big Brother?”
Mother Gu couldn’t hide her surprise.
The Huo’s on the other hand.
Gu Shishi had stayed up late every night for the entire week.
Everyday, during her most high-spirited time of the day, she’d pour over her painting and work on Huajian’s packaging design and the final coloring.
In the afternoon, when she had the opportunity, she would have crash courses on business management and would study and work on her assignments in the study.
And, at night.
Certain someone, as though he was motorized, would keep her up for most of the night.
Her days... were both busy and fulfilling.
Especially when he had to get up early in the morning, dragged her out from under the warm blanket, help her changed into her workout gear, and dragged the very sleepy Gu Shishi on their morning job.
And that was masked as adjusting her body.
[Creating offspring assignment 2: 11% completed]
The assignment that she had given up had not only not been cancelled, it had advanced by a lot this week.
A nutritionist had been hired to prepare nutritious meals for the future mom and dad.
The boss had also set the daily workout plan.
Gu Shishi felt both painful and happy.
Luckily, balancing between work and life, Gu Shishi had finally gotten used to the pace of her new lifestyle after a week.
She went to bed with the boss and his perfect body every night. In the morning, when she was tired from the job, she’d be coquettish and had him carry her home on his back.
They have unlocked all sorts of new positions.
Just when she was happily enjoying her life, the call from the Gu family came unexpectedly.
She thought she would never have anything to do with them ever again.
She was very baffled when she heard the caller’s self-introduction.
“Un...uncle?”
Gu Shishi picked up the phone.
What she didn’t know was that Mother Gu was very close to having a big argument with her brother before making this call.
Mother Gu did not understand why he would bring up reaching out to this child that she wasn’t close to at all at this point in time.
“Brother, you have never seen how she talks to me. She will not visit me even after I am dead.”
Mother Gu dabbed her eyes.
She dared not tell him the whole truth. She worried that her brother would scold her had he knew that she had brought this upon herself.
Chen Yunping exchanged a look with her husband before she stood up and walked a few steps away.
The two of them were siblings and could say anything that they wanted with each other.
The meddling of a sister-in-law would only make matters worse.
