Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 87 – What would that do to his fiancee’s reputation?

A few days after the crystal chandelier had fallen, nothing seemed different at the mansion, except that atmosphere had become tenser.

Nobody said anything out loud, but the way they were looking at Huo Sishen was more fearful and alarmed than before.

Even Gu Shishi wasn’t sure what she could do about that.

She couldn’t change how others viewed the incident.

Don’t be superstitious. We must think in a logical and scientific manner...

She couldn’t possibly go around lecturing everyone.

And, the time that Huo Sishen spent in the mansion had decreased noticeably.

Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was still getting up at 7:30 AM to go to work, but she hasn’t seen him in the dining room again since.

She hasn’t even seen him even after she was home from work.

But every morning, when Gu Shishi woke up, with drool out of the corner of her mouth, she would have already received a red packet for the day.

[Huo Sishen has sent you a red packet.]

Everyday...

$6.66, $8.88, $10.00...

Gu Shishi wasn’t sure what to make of that.

The boss had, indeed, listened to all of her shameless words from the other day and was sending her red packets every day!

Once a day, for three days straight already.

But this amount, aye. This amount was killing her.

“Aye. Had she known... why did she....”

“It’s all my own fault....”

If she hadn’t been an idiot back then by only sending the boss a small red packet of $6.66, she wouldn’t be so pitiful today!

$6.66 was only 8-minute worth of life!

Her daily red packets were only giving her 8 minutes extra a day...

Aye. Had she known, she would have sent him a $200 red packet. And that would have been that.

He’d be sending her $200, $200.... Every day...

Gu Shishi felt that she had truly done something stupid!

What a bummer that the boss was such a stickler when it came to sending red packets. It had never exceeded $10, as though there was an unwritten rule somewhere!

She could only cry silently.

***

Amidst her regret, the Saturday that she was going to meet up with Gu Wushuang had approached quickly.

Gu Shishi got ready and pulled out a light yellow Prada evening gown with a pearl necklace along with a bracelet of the same tyle.

She looked into the mirror, applied some light makeup, and bundled up her hair on top of her head.

She had braided her hair before she went to bed the night before, so today her hair has a natural wave to them.

Even though she has her hair bundled up now, the waviness could still be seen around the base of her hair and even her bangs.

Seeing that it was about time, she left the house with a little purse.

“Miss Gu.”

The chauffeur was already waiting outside.

“Hi, Mr. Chan, thanks for the lift.”

Gu Shishi lifted up the hem of her gown and got inside the car after thanking the chauffeur.

Her cellphone buzzed as soon as she sat down.

[Shishi, are you on your way yet? Are you coming alone?]

Gu Shishi couldn’t help but to cover up her mouth and smile.

Normally, one would go with a date to an event like this.

Especially for someone who was engaged, like her, she should be attending with Huo Sishen.

However, Gu Wushuang called her last night and made a special point of having her promise she would go alone and not with Huo Sishen.

In their circle, everyone had heard of Huo Sishen’s past.

This was old Mrs. Chen’s birthday banquet. Naturally, they wouldn’t want Huo Sishen, a human equivalent of bad luck, to attend.

Yet when Gu Shishi heard it the night before, she almost busted out laughing.

They were overthinking this too much; Boss Huo had no interest in attending this event at all!

Never mind his pride and that he would never attend an event without being invited, even if he was invited, she gathered a homebody like him who didn’t like to talk much would not want to attend a crowded event like this.

Heck, he didn’t even attend his own engagement party.

So why would he attend someone else’s birthday party?

What would that do to his fiancee’s reputation?

[Don’t worry.] Gu Shishi replied simply and closed out of WeChat.
