Chapter 509 - “It’s me, your mother-in-law. I want to talk to you about your wife.” (3)

Huajian quickly reached an agreement with H Traveling Agency. The upper management of both companies agreed to have Huajian endorsed the Imperial Palace tour.

This joint venture was not announced to the public before the video was released.

As such, Gu Wushuang carried on with her illusions of marketing Jiahe’s high-end products in traditional-art packaging as she urged those under her to look for an artist while she had others rework the packaging for their high-end product line.

Gu Wushuang didn’t even care that Mother Gu had left the company on her own.

After all, she had been the center of Mother Gu’s universe for the past 20 years. Everything that Mother Gu had done had been around her. As such, she felt that it was only normal that Mother Gu had took off early to avoid distracting her from work.

She would never have imagined that just a few short hours would enough to change a mother completely.

Mother Gu had texted Zhang Sheng, her big brother, from the elevator and couldn't help but started crying in the taxi. She was so frightened that she was shaking.

She had no idea what she was afraid of or what she was crying about. She finally had it figured out when she picked up the call from her brother Zhang Sheng.

“Big Brother, my daughter had abandoned me… …”

Mother Gu almost shouted up when she picked up the call.

She would never have let herself lose control inside of a taxi, in front of a strange driver. But, today, today she felt that there was no more light in the sky and she had lost her mind.

“What have I done in the past 20 years?

“Big Brother, you had no idea what Wushuang had done to me. She didn’t think of me as her mother at all. She was selfish and refused to be nice to me, not even just a little bit… …”

Mother Gu could finally see it clearly now.

“I am sure she couldn’t wait for you to take me away back then. I had no money, no family fortune, and I only get in her way. She didn’t appreciate me giving her my shares at all. She wouldn’t even give me just a little bit of money when I asked.

“She was such an unconscientious one. She didn’t heart disease; she had no heart!”

Mother Gu felt very wronged.

“When she was sick in the past, I was the one who stayed there at the hospital with her. Night after night, I would stay up all night, monitoring the IV, call the doctor. I did all of those myself… …”

The more she had given, the more she had loved, the more desperate she was when she ended up with nothing.

“I went to ask my real daughter to have a divorce for her. I’m sure Shishi hates my guts now and for sure would not want to see my face… … Big Brother… …

“Nobody wants me anymore.

“I had undergone a painful labor and spent 20 years in raising a child. And now neither one of them want me… … Why is this happening to me??”

Mother Gu was painfully desperate and felt extremely helpless.

She was scared. She regretted deeply. She only wished she could start all over again!

If only she could have a do-over. She would not let Gu Jiangxin toss her real daughter out or once and again asked her own daughter to side step for her adopted daughter… …

Zhang Sheng did not say anything.

Mother Gu was just crying toward the end.

She bawled so hard that she couldn’t even talk. She started sobbing when she was tired from bawling.

It was until she was almost getting out of the car when Zhang Sheng said to her calmly, “Is crying going to get you anything? You need to own up to your own mistake.”

Upon hearing that, tears rolled down Mother Gu’s cheeks again. She couldn’t even sob anymore. Now she was just crying quietly.

What had gone around was finally coming around.

Sitting inside the taxi, she realized that there was nowhere that she could go.

Nobody welcomed her.

She did not belong to any home.

When did all of her mistakes begin?

Was it when she married Gu Jiangxin and trusted him blindly and let him have his ways? Or was it when Gu Wushuang was ill and she had spoiled her and failed at raising her properly as a mother? Or was it when she treated her own daughter coldly when she found her?

When she really thought about it, she seemed to have done nothing right.
