In the spacious room, the crystal chandelier shone brightly.
However, Huo Chuchu still reached out and rubbed her eyes hard. She wondered if she was seeing things.
"Ahem, Chuchu, sit down and have some tea."
Gu Shishi blushed a little.
She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten about it.
Previously, she had kept it a secret for three months and did not tell anyone. Later, she had been so busy with painting, naming, and eating … she had completely forgotten about it.
Most importantly, Huo Chuchu had called her less recently. The last few times they had contacted her, they had been talking about work and learning stories from PA Meng.
She worked during the day and attended classes at night.
Indeed, Huo Chuchu did not have much time to talk on the phone.
"Sister-in-law … you …"
Huo Chuchu looked at her stomach in surprise.
Gu Shishi winked at her as a silent acknowledgment.
Huo Chuchu almost jumped up and reached out to touch her stomach. However, she glanced at Huo Sishen beside her and did not dare to move.
"Has your mother made up her mind this time?"
Gu Shishi quickly changed the topic and brought over a plate of freshly baked cake.
Huo Sishen had been worried that she would be bored without her cell phone and television at home. Not only had he bought a bunch of books, but he had also hired a chef to teach her how to make desserts.
"Sob, sob, sob, you guys are so bad. No one told me!"
Of course, Huo Chuchu could not be appeased with just a small piece of cake.
"This is big news! Am I the last one to know? "
Huo Sishen frowned and pulled a long face. "Do you speak like this in the office too?"
Huo Chuchu pouted and looked at Gu Shishi with an aggrieved expression.
Gu Shishi did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, it's our fault. I forgot to ask your brother to tell you. He did not tell you either."
Huo Sishen's chest tightened.
Why was he the one to tell his sister about this woman?
He glanced at Gu Shishi and took the teacup from her. Then, he looked at her blushing cheeks and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He could only acknowledge his mistake.
Huo Chuchu blinked and pricked up his ears in disbelief.
Her big brother used to be so tough on her. When would he be willing to admit his mistakes to her?
She couldn't help but look at this and then at that. Her pair of aggrieved eyes immediately became bright and spirited.
PA Meng was right. Observation was the most important thing.
Her elder brother was such a cold person. Now that he was being used as a scapegoat by her sister-in-law, he did not refute a single word and even accepted it!
Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Big Brother was completely taken advantage of!
Huo Chuchu pursed his lips and lowered his head to snicker.
"My mother probably said those harsh words in a fit of anger."
She wisely changed the subject.
"It's just that her temper has always been stubborn. If Second Brother doesn't admit defeat, she'll keep her word!"
Huo Chuchu and Mother Huo had been competing with each other for more than ten years.
She probably knew Mother Huo's stubborn temper better than Huo Wencheng.
"Unless Second Brother thinks it through and admits his mistake, my mother won't change her mind."
"If I'm not up to the task, she might soon arrange for me to … marry into another family."
When Huo Chuchu said this, the corners of her mouth turned bitter.
She had been rebellious since she was young, not only because of her big brother, but also because she knew her value and role in the Huo Family.
This family did not have a strong man who could support the entire family. They did not have a father, a grandfather, or … an elder brother like other families. They were not acknowledged … Only Second Brother, her mother, and even her grandmother had been considering her future marriage ever since she was young.
A strong son-in-law or in-law was enough to support the Huo Family for another ten to twenty years.
By that time, Second Brother and her children would gradually be born. There would be enough time to train the next generation of successors.
Mother Huo was very clear-headed.
Even if she was angry, she had thought of a way out.
If Huo Wencheng failed to live up to her expectations, she would provoke him to choose the Huo Family's assets.
However, if he still stubbornly chose Gu Wushuang and abandoned her, she would cut the Gordian knot and choose the successor from the third generation.
Huo Chuchu spread his hands. "In the past, she had her eyes on the top business families. But now, if Second Brother refuses to come to his senses, she will probably take in a son-in-law. There are many people who are in their thirties and have a net worth of over a hundred million. She should already be looking at the singles list. "
Gu Shishi listened and forgot to eat her cake.
Such a powerful 'mother-in-law'. Fortunately, she did not have to live under the same roof to serve her … Otherwise, they would have quarreled at any moment.
She was too powerful!
However, as soon as she focused, Huo Chuchu secretly touched her belly.
"Ah, I really have a baby!"
Huo Chuchu's expression changed immediately. He was excited.
"I'm going to be an aunt. Do you know if it's a nephew or a niece?"
Gu Shishi facepalmed. "Aren't you worried about being forced by your mother?"
Huo Chuchu waved his hand decisively. "I'm afraid."
However, as she spoke, her playful expression disappeared and a trace of seriousness appeared on her face.
"But if she wants me to marry her, I will struggle. I have decided to work hard. At least, I will do better than Second Brother! I will make my mother speechless! My second brother is so ashamed that he prostrates himself before you! "
"Also, I might be able to work with him and transfer all the Huo Family's businesses to Eldest Brother."
As Huo Chuchu spoke, she glanced at Huo Sishen carefully.
Huo Sishen was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the home design magazine that Gu Shishi ordered. When he heard this, he looked up and stared at Huo Chuchu with his cold, dark eyes.
"No need."
Huo Chuchu's shoulders sank in disappointment.
Her dream had always been to let Eldest Brother come back and take over Second Brother's position.
Gu Shishi held her hand and squeezed it comfortingly.
However, they soon heard Huo Sishen's next sentence and looked up in surprise.
"All the Huo Family's assets will be given to you as your dowry."
Huo Sishen said each word clearly and firmly.
Huo Chuchu's eyes lit up like never before. "… Big Brother."
The Huo Family's assets were the result of their grandfather's hard work. However, Huo Sishen did not want a single cent of it and wanted to give it to her as her dowry?
This was something that could not be measured by money. This was the protection that Huo Sishen had for his sister!
Every birthday in the past, she would silently look forward to receiving a gift from Huo Sishen. However, she would always be disappointed.
However, he had never left her. He had always protected her like she was his sister.
Gu Shishi was also excited. She quickly pulled Huo Sishen's arm. "Are you going to kick Huo Wencheng out of the Huo Family? Then you have to do what you say and help Chuchu gain a foothold in the company. After all, she hasn't been working for long. "
Huo Sishen's thin lips curved slightly. "Then you can ask her if she wants to take Assistant Meng with her. He has the body of a model, a handsome face, and someone she talks about all the time. He knows everything about."
"Ah!"
In the room, Chuchu the Groundhog appeared again.
"Is that true, Eldest Brother?"
Huo Sishen nodded immediately, but his face darkened.
"He has a girlfriend."
Huo Chuchu snorted. She did not even blush. "Of course I know! I just treat him as a teacher! Eldest Brother, what are you thinking?! "
Huo Sishen nodded but did not comment.
After dinner, Huo Chuchu chatted with Gu Shishi about the life of a pregnant woman. Then, she asked Huo Sishen for advice on how to take over the company. After that, she went home happily.
Not long after she left, Gu Shishi sneaked into the study and hooked her arms around the neck of the man who was working.
"Chuchu said that Assistant Meng is an elite who returned from abroad? He has a double Master's degree in business administration and finance. He is also proficient in market analysis, marketing, and mergers and acquisitions? "
Huo Sishen had just finished signing a document. He put down his pen and reached out to hold her hand, afraid that she would fall.
"Yes."
Gu Shishi puffed her cheeks. "Then why isn't he bald? Why is it that the management talents you introduced to me are all old men? "
Huo Sishen lowered his dark eyes.
When it came to educating his younger sister, he naturally had to do it quietly.
If he placed an outstanding man by her side, her taste, taste, and ability to judge people would improve.
In the future, she would not be easily deceived by a slightly talented young man.
Take the Qin sisters for example. Their first love fell into a pit. It was because they had never seen the world that they were mesmerized by a small pond and lost their minds!
Education had to be preventive. He had to show them the world first.
However, when it came to his wife … his sovereignty was inviolable and unshakable!
As long as there was an outstanding man within her range of activities, it would be enough!
"It's not advisable to judge a book by its cover."
Huo Sishen added calmly and pinched her puffed cheeks.
"Hmph!"
Gu Shishi lay on top of him and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
Jealous spirit!
When Huo Chuchu returned home, it was almost nine o 'clock in the evening.
However, when he got home, he saw that the living room was brightly lit. Huo Jinyao's mother was sitting on the sofa with a bottle of red wine open. She was drinking alone.
Huo Chuchu, who did not want to greet anyone when they met, instantly thought of his brother and sister-in-law who were sweet and sweet just now. Looking at his mother's lonely face, he could not help but feel sad and happy at the same time. He felt that he had vented his anger, felt regretful, and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
This family was destined to never be reunited.
Huo Chuchu gritted his teeth. He did not want to tell her where he was going.
However, he still blurted out.
"Do you know? You're going to be a grandmother soon. "
Even if Huo Jinyao's mother wanted her to be a grandmother, she could not call her mother intimately.
Many years ago, this family existed in name only.
Whether it was her second brother or her, they could not be intimately close to their mother and grandmother like other children.
Because they had once abandoned their children!
Everyone in this family was a witness.
As children, they could not really get close to them no matter what!
The moment Huo Chuchu walked in, he seemed to understand his second brother's stubbornness when it came to Gu Wushuang.
Perhaps it was not because of love, but because he was testing her.
It was just like how she had rebelled back then.
At this point, he really wanted to know what kind of place a mother placed her children in her heart.
How hard was her heart?
Was it that no matter what, she would never give in or admit her mistakes for them?!
"That Gu Wushuang …" Huo Jinyao's mother put down the red wine glass in shock. However, after a while, she shook her head and said, "No, it's that Gu Shishi?"
Huo Jinyao was not a rich man's wife who never left home.
Previously, Huo Wencheng had told her that her younger daughter was secretly in contact with Huo Sishen. At that time, she had even grounded her younger daughter.
However, recently, her younger daughter had shown extraordinary talent in business. She had clinched several big deals and the return on investment was shockingly good. That was why she had slowly relaxed her supervision of her younger daughter.
After all, as a senior executive of a business, she needed to be independent no matter what.
Therefore, she decided to let go and give her younger daughter some space.
Huo Chuchu pursed his lips and said, "Yes."
Her mother wanted to have a grandchild soon. This was simply a slap to her face!
Her second son, who she had raised with care, had married a sickly fake daughter. She objected to it and he did not even return home.
On the other hand, her eldest son, who she had abandoned early on, had married a healthy, capable, and good-tempered daughter. She was pregnant not long after they got married.
Huo Jinyao wondered if her mother regretted her decision when she heard the news.
At this moment, did she feel the slightest bit of guilt? Did she want to make up for her mistakes?!
"I'll go upstairs first."
Huo Chuchu turned around and left.
Huo Jinyao's mother was stunned for a moment. After a while, she slowly replied, "Yes."
However, there was no one else in the living room.
Only her own faint sigh resounded in the empty hall.
Unknowingly, the glass on the glass coffee table was filled with red wine.
The scarlet red wine immediately rolled down the edge of the glass …
