Chapter 510 – “It’s me, your mother-in-law. I want to talk to you about your wife.” (4)
“Someone sent me a voice recording a while ago but I have never shown it to you. I didn’t want you to think that I am instigating. Now that you have gained some mental clarity, I will show it to you. You can really give it some good thoughts.”
Zhang Sheng had no compassion. He decided to nail the coffin shut and sent the recording from Gu Jiangxin’s patient room that he had received from Sier over to Mother Gu.
The one where Gu Wushuang and Huo Wencheng forced Gu Jiangxin to step aside and make room for them during his recovery from his stroke.
Not only was Gu Wushuang unconscientious and unfamilial, she was downright vicious!
And part of the reason that she turned out the way she did was Mother Gu’s over-dotingness.
“We are here. Be careful of cars from behind when you open the door.”
The driver turned around and said to Mother Gu when they arrived at their destination.
Mother Gu paused a little before she opened up the car door in a daze and clumsily put her foot on the ground.
She couldn’t recollect herself for a long, long time.
Listening to the recording sent over by her big brother, she felt very unwell!
She might have felt that her daughter had done her well by threatening Gu Jiangxin on his hospital bed. Now, however, she only felt that a bucket of iced water had been dumped her on, drenching from her head to toe and it was cold to her bones.
That was Gu Wushuang’s father.
He may not have been a great father but he still raised her for 20 years. He had gone to work from the crack of dawn to late night every day and provided her with good food and drink; allowed her to live in a mansion and buy design brand products; paid for her surgery in US and allowed her an opportunity to live… …
And she turned around and treated him that way?
If she could turn around and do that to Gu Jiangxin, then what about her useless mother?
Mother Gu almost collapse onto the ground.
When she heard from the recording that Gu Wushuang had recorded evidences of Gu Jiangxin bribing government officials, Mother Gu’s heart almost stopped beating.
Many a times, she had brought the gifts over to the government officials’ wives for Gu Jiangxin. If Gu Wushuang was to report him, she would be reporting this mother as well?
Mother Gu’s body shook violently and she almost cracked her teeth from biting down so hard on them.
Mother Gu walked inside the house without even bothering to bring her luggage with her.
She sat herself down on the stairs by the door and made a call with her hand still shaking.
“It’s me, your mother-in-law. I want to talk to you about your wife.”
***
Mother Gu waited for Huo Wencheng after she had put away her luggage.
She cried for a long time even though she knew that crying would not solve anything.
Before Huo Wencheng’s arrival, she finally calmed down and washed her fact, applied a facial mask, then reapplied her make up. She even used tea bags to prevents her eyes from puffing up.
Mother Gu even changed into an elegant bright red colored dress to make herself appear more imposing.
Huo Wencheng rushed over during lunch hour.
Even though his position had been frozen but he still didn’t want to give Mother Gu an impression that he would come running whenever he was summoned. Huo Wencheng, who had always been a prideful one would not let himself to stoop to that point.
“Aunty.”
Huo Wencheng was courteous and gave Mother Gu the perfect smile.
“Did you just arrive this morning? How come you didn’t let me know ahead of time? I could have come and picked you up.”
Even though Gu Wushuang and Huo Wencheng had already had their marriage certificate, but neither changed their way they addressed each other’s parents.
The way they addressed each other’s parents would not change until the wedding banquet.
He pretended that he did not see Mother Gu’s slightly reddened eyes.
Mother Gu smiled slightly.
Thirty minutes ago, she would have an outburst and complained that they didn’t care about her and didn’t welcome her. But now, she was already exhausted from the crying and the shouting.
“Wencheng, as a mother, there are things that I can’t say to Wushuang directly so I will have to talk to you instead.”
Mother Gu spun her jadeite bracelet and lowered her head nonchalantly.
Huo Wencheng was taken aback a little, “Yes, go ahead.”
