Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 271 – “I feel that, we make a good couple together.” (2)

When Huo Sishen came back downstairs, he saw Gu Shishi sitting there docilely, deep in thought.

She looked visibly much happier than she was earlier.

Her red lips were curving upward and her limpid eyes spry.

She seemed to be a completely different person from the dispirited and down person from earlier.

She was happy just because he was going to dine with her?

He narrowed his eyes and the unpleasant feelings in his chest seemed to have dissipated a little.

He was just about to say something when he saw Gu Shishi suddenly lifted up her little face that was pink and delicate like a flower bud. Her red lips parted a little as though she had made a great determination to share something with him.

“Mr. Huo, truth was, Luo Pingting wasn’t even a fraction as unfortunate as me.

“I was switched at birth. I was only born into a rich family but never had the luck to enjoy being born rich.

“My parents who raised me didn’t care much about me. I didn’t grow up properly then they learned that I wasn’t their real daughter. We have only been engaged for a few days when they asked me for 100,000 yuan. And that was the only contact I received from them.”

If she didn’t take this opportunity to completely rid Boss Huo of his mental issues, returning to this subject in the future would be too deliberate.

At the very minimum, she hoped that he’d at least look at her normally. There was no way she could ensure that she would never catch a cold or a fever living under the same roof as him.

All of her work would be in vain if the boss attributed those to himself then.

She wanted him to know that each person has their own fate and that was not easily influenced by so-called “curse”.

“The Gu’s… didn’t care much about me either.

“They want to send me away in an alliance marriage and to keep Gu Wushuang in the Gu’s.”

Truth was, the original owner was probably one of the most unfortunate persons in the book.

Also switched at birth, Gu Wushuang was much more fortunate.

In the end, she went over and had a surgery overseas and that helped with her condition a lot. She was not completely cured but she could basically live out her normal lifespan.

She had further overcome all obstacles with the male lead and the two lived happily ever after.

The original owner, on the other hand, died some unknown death and was never loved or cared for by anyone.

Even Gu Shishi felt bad for her thinking about it.

As she spoke, she glanced over at Huo Sishen.

“Truth was, death is not scary. It is just the matter of a fraction of a second.

“Being alive though, there are sufferings to be had. Well exceeded that of the moment of death.”

They all said that he had cursed his father.

Had Father Huo survived that day, who knew what other accidents he would have ran into?

If there was such a thing as fate, then everything had been predetermined. If there wasn’t such thing as fate, then the whole concept of a curse was ludicrous.

Gu Shishi grumbled.

Huo Sishen, on the other hand, frowned immediately.

There was unseen solemness and gloominess on his handsome face.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

He scolded her!

“What kind of random thoughts do you have going through that head of yours all day long??”

Was she saying that she wished to be dead?

That living was too difficult and she preferred to be dead?

She wished to take her own life?

He recalled Qin Ruhai mentioning suicidal thoughts as one of the symptoms of depression. One would want to end one’s own life in order to escape problems that they were not able to resolve.

His eyes turned cold and his raised his volume half a notch.

“What has been bothering you lately?”

No friends? Hasn’t she already made friends with the Qin’s sisters?

Was she said because they were loved by their parents and she wasn’t?

Or that Chen Kexin ditching her earlier had brought back unhappy memories from the past?
