Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life
chapter-377

Chapter 377- It's so awesome when your man shares the same values as you. (2)

“You… your daddy is not that kind of a person!”

Mother Gu raised her voice!

“Shuangshuang, why would you say such a thing about your Daddy? What did you hear and from whom? There is no way he would have a child outside!”

Gu Wushuang was not happy at all when she heard that. Quite the contrary, her heart sank.

Her mother’s rebuttal did not sound convincing at all.

As a wife, as the woman who knew her husband the best, she panicked with just a brief mention!

That ought to show that, deep down inside, Mother Gu did see that as a possibility.

Gu Wushuang closed her eyes wearily.

She had planned so much and done so much for the inheritance of the Gu family!

She was so close and now everything was on the brim of falling apart!

The mother and daughter duo fell into an eerie silence.

Someone knocked on the room door. “Wushuang, Aunty, it’s me.”

The voice belonged to Huo Wencheng.

He had stepped out intentionally, knowing that Wushuang was about to bring up the sensitive subject to her mother.

As the son-in-law of the Gu family, he really didn’t want to meddle into the businesses of the Gu’s elders. He needed to keep his distance.

Nevertheless –

He smiled bitterly as he walked inside after Mother Gu had responded to him.

“Aunty. Uncle sent me an email and had me pass it onto you.”

Huo Wencheng didn’t look well at all.

What he said made the mother and daughter’s heart sank even more!

If they were only speculating up until this point. Now it was like the sword had finally struck their bodies!

The death sentence had been announced!

Mother Gu couldn’t even hold up the bowl of porridge any more.

Her voice was sharp and its pitch had gone up an entire octave!

“He, he had you pass it onto me?!”

Her lips trembled uncontrollably!

Each breath felt like she was inhaling blades that were cutting at her heart and lung!

What couldn’t her husband of 25 years told her in person and had to ask her future son-in-law to relate?!

Huo Wencheng didn’t know what to say so he just handed his cellphone over to her.

Mother Gu stood up so abruptly that the chair fell backward behind her.

“No! This is a scam! Wencheng! Your uncle can call me up and talk to me about anything. And if he can’t reach me on the phone, he can always send me texts via WeChat! Why would he send this to you? It’s fake! This is a con!”

She dared not even look at. She back further and further from it and almost bumped into the wall!

Huo Wencheng gritted his teeth.

“Aunty.”

He took a look at the fragile and still recovering Gu Wushuang sitting in bed.

Then, he made up his mind and raised his voice a little.

“Aunty!

“Uncle called me.

“He will take care of the cost of Wushuang’s hospitalization and medicines.

“But – he will not be returning home.”

Huo Wencheng picked the mildest way to put it.

Mother Gu was stupefied. Leaning up against the wall, she was short of slipping down all the way to the floor.

“That’s impossible. Impossible…

“I, I will, give your Uncle a call…”

Gu Wushuang was completely pale. Gu Jiangxin had not shown up in three days.

Even when he learned that her surgery was successful, all he did send was a simple “oh” via WeChat.

Combined that with what Brother Cheng had told her, she was already prepared for the worst case scenario.

“Did my dad said… how much of the assets go to Mommy?”

She closed her eyes with difficulty and a drop of tear rolled down her cheek.

Her heart could not have hurt more.

It was too difficult.

All the things that she had done. She had even chased away Gu Shishi, and all for naught!

She couldn’t accept this at all!

Huo Wencheng looked down. He did not look at Mother Gu, who was too broken down to process any information, nor Gu Wushuang who was in great distress.

“Uncle said you two can have the house that you are living in plus the bungalow by this hospital.”

He kept his mouth tightly shut after he had finished saying that.

Mother Gu’s eyes widened and she had already slipped down onto the floor.

Gu Wushuang’s heart ached so much that she almost fainted once again.

Two houses… just two houses?!

The entire company, the portion the belonged to Gu Jiangxin was worth at least 3.5 billion!

How much were two houses worth?!

This one overseas was worth less than ten million!

And the one in China, at most 3 million!

Was this some kind of a joke?!
