Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 511 – Huo Shishen pressed down between his brows and decided to just pick her up and carry her away. (1)

Huo Wencheng knew that Mother Gu asked for money earlier and, as far as he was concerned, it was not entire out of question for Wushuang to give her some.

Mother Gu had, after all, given all of her company shares to Wushuang.

As opposed to Mother Huo retained tight control over everything, Mother Gu really wasn’t asking for a lot nor was she an ambitious one at that.

Granted, Wushuang was the adopted daughter. That was different from him being the real youngest son. As such, he did not meddle too much into the matters between Wushuang and her mother.

Wushuang didn’t want Mother Gu to come and muck things up lately; naturally, he played along with her. After all, he was exactly proud of being kicked out by his own family and did not want to meet with his mother-in-law during times like this.

“I heard from Wushuang that you are looking for money?”

Looking at the quiet Mother Gu, Huo Wencheng was the first to break the silence in the room.

He wouldn’t be able to avoid the subject altogether so he might as well be the one who brought it up.

“But you knew about my situation right now––“

Huo Wencheng gave her an appropriate bitter smile.

“Wencheng.”

He hadn’t expected Mother Gu to interrupt him right away. In fact, he was stunned by what she said.

“Why don’t you divorce Wushuang?”

Huo Wencheng’s face twitched.

He had already thought through many different ways that she would broach the subject as well as how he would respond to each of them.

Nevertheless, he had not expected such sharp words from Mother Gu!

He looked up in shock as though this was the first time he had got to know her.

In fact, he suddenly recalled the one time when he accompanied her to his big brother place to ask Gu Shishi to divorce his brother.

How did she broach the subject that time?

Was she point blank like this as well?

Huo Wencheng couldn’t remember the details but he couldn’t be more stunned right now!

Had she gotten a thing for asking her daughters to get divorces?!

His first reaction wasn’t even anger.

Looking straight at him, Mother Gu finally regained her 50 years’ worth of wisdom.

Looking at Huo Wencheng’s eyes that had no anger but only surprises, she already had an idea of the love between the two. She started talking calmly, “Wencheng, your mother does not approve of this marriage and our entire circle is well aware of this. This is embarrassing for both me and the Huo family.

“When you have a son in the future, is this the story that you want to tell him?”

Mother Gu looks nonchalant. She picked up the tea pot next to her and poured herself a cup of tea in a relaxed manner.

“I’m old as is your mother.

“The future belongs to young people like you.

“I trust that you have an idea what it is that you want, that Wushuang wants, and what is best for the both of you.”

Huo Wencheng’s mind was drawing blank.

Being with Wushuang who has congenial illness, Mother Gu was their bigger supporter besides Gu Jiangxin. And Gu Jiangxin only had in his mind what he could get out of this. Mother Gu was out of love for her daughter.

He had always known that as long as he didn’t do anything that was “out there”, Mother Gu would be happy about this son-in-law.

“Aunty, do you feel that I would not be able to make Wushuang happy because my family had kicked me out?”

Huo Wencheng’s pitch rose up half an octave uncontrollably.

Mother Gu had written him off and wanted out?

He had always been the settler in the relationship.*

Let it be his personal achievements or his family background, he settled because he liked her.

Mother Gu’s words were like a slap his face!

“You are overthinking this.” Mother Gu chuckled. “Even me, the daughter who had been married off, could get a portion of my father’s fortune when I went home, let alone the younger son of the Huo family who was the center of attention.”

Mother Gu picked up her cup of tea and took a sip from it.

“A mother and her son are joined by their hearts. She will forgive you. I am sure your mother is just waiting for you to return.”

“I am confused. Are you asking me to give up on Wushuang then?” asked Huo Wencheng with a frown.
