Chapter 528 – He knew he won’t have a say in who he will be marrying. (2)

Old Mrs. Chen’s eyes reddened a little all of a sudden. “When you were still a child, you came to celebrate my birthday once. I remember a girl was chasing behind you and Keke bawled her eyes out because you didn’t want to play with her.”

“No way, Grandma! That did not happen!”

Chen Kexin almost bit her own tongue.

Huo Sishen’s lips curved a little. He reached out his hand and held Gu Shishi’s. “Mmhmm. I remember that too. Grandma Chen didn’t look a day older than you did before.”

Old Mrs. Chen put her hand over her mouth and smiled.

“Now we know who your precious bun looks like.

“He truly is the child of the two of you.”

Gu Shishi had known for a long time now that this man knew how to say sweet things. He just didn’t care to engage with people normally.

“Come. Come. C’mon in, quickly. Chat with us old folks inside.”

Old Mrs. Chen quickly showed them in.

Inside, the guests separated into the men and women groups.

The ladies were chatting about skincare and the men gathered to talk about current events or business.

Even though Huo Sishen hadn’t been to events like this in a long while, he was still able to quickly locate his own spot.

He was an articulate talker, had a lot of substances, unique viewpoints on things, worldly experiences, and had a good grip on the information on the everchanging market.

All of the patriarchs and those of the uncle and grandpa generation all had their attentions on him instantly and only wish they could chat with him all night long in their studies.

Gu Shishi, naturally, followed Old Mrs. Chen. The old lady insisted on carrying Huo Xiao Bao, even if he had one hand on her jade while drooling all over her.

After she had sat down, Old Mrs. Chen wiped his saliva off of him and his shirt before handed him an opal bracelet for him to play with. She then smiled at Gu Shishi and said, “I’ve heard from my oldest son that Jiahe is going belly up and that the Gu family plan on packaging it up and selling it?”

That was a known secret by now.

Jiahe had been penalized by the Industry and Commerce Bureau for false advertisement and outrageous pricing. Not only did they have to pay a large fine but they had lost all of their reputation.

Even Chen Kexin chimed in when they were talking about that.

“Aren’t they packing it with their gaming business as well?

“They are hoping to fetch a good price, I’ve heard. But who would want that?”

First, they had offended the official of their district, then they were exposed as unconscientious business. Others were no fools. Who would want to pay high price for something like that?

“The remaining estates aren’t doing all that hot either. I heard from my husband that the next two years will be wintertime as far as real estates are concerned.”

Mrs. Zhou chimed in from next to them.

She had heard about it already. Gu Wushuang wanted to use their Zhou Mi’s dowry as a contrast and be ahead of them. So how could the mother not be upset at that?

This Gu Wushuang wasn’t shut out by the Huo family for no reasons!

“I heard that Gu Wushuang is about to develop businesses overseas. She hired an overseas upper management and it was said that they have been in contact with an oil merchant,” said Mrs. Zhang softly as she put down her tea cup.

With the exception of Gu Shishi who had no ties to the Gu family, none of the other ladies from the Gu family were invited today. As such, nobody would defend the Gu family when they were talked about.

Everybody wanted to add in their 2 cents’ worth in degrading them.

All because Old Mrs. Chen clearly sided with Gu Shishi.

“And that Mother Huo. Why couldn’t she just accept Gu Wushuang? It’s been almost 2 years already.”

“Aiya, Gu Wushuang already had a miscarriage once. Who knows when she can get pregnant again. I would worry about a daughter-in-law like that too.”

Gu Shishi had a peculiar look on her when she heard that.

“She was pregnant?”

The lady immediately gave her a this-is-between-you-and-I look.

Finally, Mrs. Zhang was the one who elaborated on that.
