Chapter 358 – My wife is about to take my last name. Oh so happy, yay! (3)

Gu Shishi flipped to the next page on her manga and saw the bathtub scene between the male and female leads. She couldn’t help but made the tsk, tsk noise.

One star!

The female lead had her period during the most critical moment?!

Had the author considered what that was like for the readers?

To think that she has had such high hopes!

“Shishi... ... forgive your mother. I am not playing favoritism. The truth is that... ...”

Gu Shishi flipped through the next few pages quickly.

Sadly, it didn’t look like there would be any X-rated scene in this issue.

She would just have to read the following issues in a little while.

She sighed when she put away her manga.

Looking back at the tear-stained elegant and Huo Wencheng in his wrinkled suit in front of her, she had suddenly lost all interest in them.

“Madam Gu, I mean, Mrs. Gu, you really don’t need to cry in front of me.

“The more you cry, the more awkward I feel.

“Gu Wushuang is your daughter, I’m not. I really don’t feel any motherly love coming from you.

“Must I give away my entire fortune to a beggar on the street simply because she was cold and hungry?

“You have working arms and legs yet you count on a stranger to save you? What kind of crazy logic is that? I’m not a doctor. You should be crying at the hospital instead!”

Gu Shishi turned her down bluntly.

She was done with the mess.

Mother Gu looked up with her tear-stained face and still didn’t want to give up. “You, too, are you blood and flesh. It isn’t that I don’t love you; I just didn’t have the time just yet. Besides, as long as you get a divorce temporarily... ...”

Gu Shishi waved her hand. “Stop repeating yourself. It’s getting old quickly.

“How many episodes have Gu Wushuang had since I have come over to Young Master Huo’s place?”

Mother Gu was taken aback a little. She thought Gu Shishi was envious of Gu Wushuang and responded to her quickly.

“Wushuang has chest pain and shortness of breath a lot. We have been to the hospital three times in the middle of the night. There were four regular checkups a month, and our family doctor had come over three times as well... Wushuang really is ill.”

“Oh.” Then, pointing at herself, Gu Shishi asked, “Do you know how many times I have been sick since I have been here?”

Mother Gu stopped talking abruptly.

No, she didn’t know.

There was a shred of embarrassment and, perhaps, – a hint of guilt on her tear-stained face.

“I... Shishi, you never told Mom.”

Gu Shishi waved her hand again. “Then, do you know how many times Wushuang goes out shopping with her friends every week? Do you know how many dresses and purses she buys or how many times she dines out with her friends?”

Mother Gu’s eyes lit up a little. “Of course not. I don’t pay attention to all the details. I don’t have that much time. I only see her coming home after she had gone shopping. I didn’t really ask.”

See? She overlooked Wushuang sometimes as well.

Just like how she had overlooked her own daughter.

But—

A very sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Shishi.

“Or should we say that it happens too often for you to keep track? She has so much clothes that she can’t even fit them all into her closet? I will venture to guess that she also switches out her clothes every season? And, a lot of her clothes she will only wear once and give them away immediately if she doesn’t like them?”

Mother Gu had a bad feeling all of a sudden.

She wasn’t sure why just yet.

Sure enough, Gu Shishi gave her a sarcastic look and was cold like she was merely looking at a stranger.

“Then, do you know that your own daughter only had a 3-digit amount in her saving when she arrived here? And everything in my suitcase were clothes that Gu Wushuang no longer wanted and none of them your own daughter could afford?

“And, do you know that their sizes are very different?

“Your real daughter has bigger breasts, skinnier waist, and longer legs... wearing her clothes was very unpleasant!”
