Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life
chapter-257

Chapter 257 - “If Gu Wushuang tries anything else again, I won’t promise that no actions will be taken against her.” (1)

Huo Wencheng was stopped short. “Yes, one more thing, Big Brother. Luo Pingting would like to meet up with you. Do you have time this Saturday afternoon? She wants to take you out to lunch. Said she had something that she wants to talk to you about.”

Siyi raised his brows.

That very unfortunately young miss… she had already greatly annoyed the boss in the past.

And now she wanted to dine with the boss?

Ho. Exactly how much pull did she think she has?

Who knew? After a slight pause from the backseat, Huo Sishen responded.

“Mmm.”

Huo Sishen’s long and slender finger pressed onto Gu Shishi’s WeChat profile picture.

“Send me the time and location.”

Siyi was genuinely surprised.

Huo Wencheng seemed to feel the same way. “Oh, okay.”

Huo Sishen’s distant voice rang again.

“Huo Wencheng.

“You know that I am not a patient man. I am only going to say this one.

“If Gu Wushuang tries anything else again, I won’t promise that no actions will be taken against her.”

He closed his eyes and lifted his hand.

Siyi immediately hung up the phone.

Huo Wencheng, hearing that the call had been disconnected, did not look too good.

“Brother Cheng, what did Big Brother Huo say? Did he agree to meet up with Pingting?”

Sitting next to him was the delicate Gu Wushuang.

She had on a white dress today. Her hair was tied back behind her back and there was even a pink little flower on her hair. Her entire person exuded the tenderness of a girl next door.

Gu Wushuang clutched her hands over her chest and there was a shred of anxiousness on her pretty face that would make others want to cherish her.

“What is it, Brother Cheng? Was it a problem relaying the message for Pingting? It’s alright if Big Brother Huo didn’t agree to it. I didn’t know how Pingting feel before, but now she is…”

She lowered her head and looked very pitiful. She even wiped the corner of her eye with her hand.

“The Luo’s had collapsed and Pingting is very pitiful too. I heard that Big Brother Huo wanted her to go over to his place to play the piano. Whatever did he mean by that? I just worried about Pingting being depressed. I know she had given Gu Shishi some hard times in the past, but still…”

And in just a few words, she managed to loop it back to Gu Shishi.

Huo Wencheng wasn’t too happy being lectured at first.

And wanted to tell Gu Wushuang to stay out of the Luo’s matters. But now that he had heard this, he paused.

“For real? This was Gu Shishi’s idea?”

Huo Wencheng has never had a good impression of Gu Shishi.

The girl was somewhat fond of him in the past but she had no poise. She was too intimidated to let him know about her feelings for him but she’d peek at him day in and day out. It wasn’t until after her engagement with his brother that she finally tried to approach him.

But once they were engaged, she was his sister-in-law.

Being her brother-in-law, her approaching him would put him in a difficult position in front of his brother and the others.

As such, in his eyes, Gu Shishi was one who did not observe what was socially acceptable.

Huo Wencheng frowned just from thinking about it.

First, she tried to fool her sister. And now she tried to revenge Young Miss Luo through the hands of his brother?

This Gu Shishi was really something!

“It’s not Shishi’s fault, really. It was my fault for not watching over her and Pingting…” said Gu Wushuang again weakly.

Huo Wencheng cut her off.

“My brother had agreed to lunch with Luo Pingting on Saturday.

“But, Wushuang, you stay away from Gu Shishi.”

Recalling his brother’s words, he couldn't help but thought about Gu Shishi’s face.

She seemed like a simple person yet she was spreading rumors and driving wedges behind people’s back? And she made his big brother who didn’t get out of the house thought poorly of Wushuang?

“You just stay away from the woman as much as you can in the future. And don’t have anything to do with my brother. I don’t want you getting hurt.

“Don’t invite Gu Shishi to the Li’s banquet next week. I will make sure Chuchu was locked up at home as well.”
