"How was it? Did you take a photo of the child? "
"Chuchu, show Grandma the photo."
Huo Chuchu had just returned from the hospital. Before she reached the living room, Mrs. Huo had already rushed out to greet her.
It was obvious that Mrs. Huo had been waiting in the living room since she left.
When she heard footsteps, she immediately walked out with her walking stick and was extremely concerned.
Huo Chuchu looked at her head of gray hair and then looked at her solemn expression. She had even put on light makeup today and was wearing a purple-red cotton coat. She sighed in her heart.
"I didn't."
She shrugged and spread her hands.
"Huh?"
Mrs. Huo was disappointed.
Huo Chuchu put on her slippers and walked inside.
Mrs. Huo immediately followed behind with her walking stick. Her hands were trembling. "Why didn't you take a photo? Before you left, didn't your mother tell you to take a photo of the child for us to see? "
Huo Chuchu suddenly stopped. She didn't know what kind of expression to put on.
"It's a newborn child. Everyone is going to congratulate him. Who would take a photo?"
"Chuchu, how can you talk to Grandma like that?"
Mrs. Huo came down from the second floor and heard the voice as soon as she opened the door.
However, when she walked out, Huo Chuchu could see Chuchu clearly. Mrs. Huo was wearing a rare festive red dress at home today.
It was as if the birth of the child today was a happy occasion for their family.
They were dressed neatly, like elders who had just had a grandson and great-grandson. They were very happy.
However, neither of them went to the hospital. They could only wait at home … for a photo.
Huo Chuchu's heart was sour, bitter, and resentful.
She really didn't understand why they still couldn't let go of the past until today!
Didn't her eldest brother get married and have a child prove that he wasn't a bad person?
Was it so difficult for them to admit their mistakes?
"I'm telling the truth."
Huo Chuchu's neck stiffened.
"Even a celebrity's child won't be taken when he's born."
"Chuchu!"
Mrs. Huo frowned in disagreement.
"Chuchu's mother, she's right. I was confused."
However, Old Madam Huo nodded in agreement.
"We shouldn't have taken pictures on the day of the baby's birth. The baby is still young and precious. It won't be good if he gets frightened."
"His parents are very strict with him. It's only right that they don't allow him to take any photos. Otherwise, if any Tom, Dick, or Harry were to take a picture and post it on the Internet, their birth characters would be exposed to the public. "
Old Madam Huo sat down on the sofa as she spoke.
Although she said that, there was still disappointment on her face that she did not see the photo.
However, when Huo Chuchu's mother walked to the sofa, the old lady had already adjusted her mood. Instead, she held Huo Chuchu's hand expectantly and asked her to sit down.
"Chuchu, how is the child? How many kilograms? Does he resemble his mother or his father? "
"Most of the children in our family have almond-shaped eyes, just like your grandfather."
Old Madam Fu asked, as if she couldn't wait for her to tell her so that she could imagine what she looked like.
Huo Chuchu said reluctantly, "It's so small. I can't tell."
Old Madam Fu nodded again. "He's just born and hasn't fully grown yet. He'll be fine after a while. His parents are good-looking. I've seen the photo of the girl from the Gu family. Her appearance and figure are considered outstanding, and she looks healthy. That's why she agreed to the Gu family's proposal so easily. This child will most likely be handsome in the future. "
As she spoke, she smiled to herself.
"How much does the child weigh? Chuchu, you haven't told me yet."
Huo Chuchu's mother, who was sitting on the right side of the sofa, couldn't help but interrupt.
Huo Chuchu pursed her lips and sounded a little reluctant. "I think it's about six kilograms. I don't remember the details."
"You child … Why can't you remember?"
Huo Chuchu's mother choked.
Old Madam Huo, on the other hand, was very satisfied. "Six kilograms is enough. It's still premature, right? I've counted the days. It should be two weeks away. "
Huo Chuchu secretly rolled her eyes.
She muttered softly.
"You're at home, so you're quite clear."
'Someone else's' child was so clear … What did it have to do with them?
Mrs. Huo nodded when she heard this. "Chuchu, put aside the company's matters for the next few days. I've picked out some mother and baby products. The things that the child needs to use for the next three months. When you're free, send some of them to her confinement center."
If she asked the driver or someone else to send them, they would most likely be rejected.
Only Huo Chuchu seemed to be more popular there recently.
Huo Chuchu's heart skipped a beat. "They've already prepared them. I've already sent out my share of money. Alright, mom, don't worry about it. I'll go upstairs and rest first. I still have to go to the company later. "
"Hey, this child, listen to your mother," Old Madam Huo called out. "What's the use of just money? They're still young. How can they know how to take care of children? Your mother has given birth to three children. She has a lot of experience. "
Huo Chuchu's face immediately darkened. "What experience? There's only one left of the three. "
The teacup in Mrs. Huo's hand shook, and the tea splashed out.
Old Madam Huo's eyelids twitched wildly. "… This is … a sin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Huo's face turned even paler.
Huo Chuchu snorted, turned around, and went upstairs without looking back.
The transfer of the Huo family's shares was quickly spread through the grapevine.
Every family was secretly discussing who would be in charge of the Huo family in the future.
In addition to Huo Sishen's youngest son, Mrs. Huo also gave Huo Chuchu 10% of the shares to show fairness. Huo Wencheng was the only one who didn't get a share.
Huo Wencheng's friends who were once good friends all urged him to go home as soon as possible.
Huo Chuchu had always been at odds with Huo Sishen. If he stood on Huo Sishen's side, the two of them would hold 20% of the shares. If the shares in Mrs. Huo and Old Madam Huo's hands were included, it would really be uncertain who would be in charge of the overall situation.
In just a few days, Huo Wencheng, who had been wavering, finally made up his mind. He went to Gu Wushuang and proposed a 'temporary divorce'.
Gu Wushuang secretly hated him. He deeply understood that men were unreliable.
She wasn't like Mrs. Gu, who was brainless and guarded.
If Huo Wencheng wanted a divorce, she naturally wouldn't agree.
Even though she had already given this man a huge "X" in her heart, she didn't want to let go so easily before she found a more suitable husband candidate.
Since she was fifteen years old, she had been doing everything she could to stay by Huo Wencheng's side. She had attracted his attention, obtained his love, and aroused his desire to protect her … After so many years, she had finally achieved her goal. How could she be willing to throw it away and gain nothing?
"Brother Cheng, I know, I'm a burden to you …"
She directly pinched her thigh and squeezed out two drops of tears.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she fainted.
The tabloid reporters she had already found swarmed forward and took photos of her fainting.
The next day, the news of a rich young master abandoning his childhood sweetheart in order to inherit the family business became a trending topic.
Gu Wushuang couldn't stop crying when she woke up. "Brother Cheng, let me clarify. It's not like that. I'm willing to let go. I want to tell everyone that I want a divorce with you. It's not your fault. "
The corner of Huo Wencheng's mouth twitched. He could only swallow the thousands of words he wanted to say.
If he divorced now, he would prove to everyone that he was a scumbag who abandoned his woman for money.
If he let Gu Wushuang come out to clarify before divorcing, he would be an irresponsible scumbag. Not only him, but many keyboard warriors on the Internet would probably boycott buying the Huo family's products.
Now that things had come to this point, it was as Mother Gu had said. He seemed to have faintly walked into a huge pit!
When he stepped into it, he sank deeper and deeper. When he wanted to climb out, he was powerless!
For the first time, he saw the girl's pale face in front of him. She was crying and drenched in cold sweat.
Huo Wencheng stood up and couldn't help but run out of the ward to take in the fresh air outside.
It was as if the room was hell!
It was raining blood outside, and all kinds of melons were flying everywhere.
Meanwhile, Gu Shishi, who was staying in the confinement center, was as warm as spring.
She had a suite that cost nearly seven figures in a month, so naturally, she was very comfortable.
Even her son was exceptionally well-behaved. He gradually adjusted the timing of his breastfeeding to a regular and reasonable schedule, so Gu Shishi slept well for many days.
Her handsome husband had moved all his work to the confinement center. He accompanied her every day and helped her with the baby's diapers.
She didn't need to worry about ordinary things at all.
"Let me show you. The old lady of the Huo family rarely chatted with me in the past few years, but she changed in the past two days. She chatted with me on WeChat every day. It's all about your son."
Old Madam Chen came to visit with Chen Kexin.
The old lady had nothing to do, so she came to keep Gu Shishi company.
Old Madam Huo found out about her frequent visits from somewhere, so she dragged her around every day. In the end, it was nothing more than the child's appetite, whether there was enough milk, whether he could open his eyes, whether he could smile … These were all topics.
Old Madam Chen saw that the child was cute, so she was happy to talk about these topics that young people found boring.
She put herself in Old Madam Huo's shoes and knew that she was old and cared about her grandchildren the most. That was why she responded to Old Madam Huo's words.
"This person is so pitiful and hateful. I don't know what he's after at his age. It's been so many years, but he still hasn't woken up! "
Old Madam Chen showed Gu Shishi the chat history.
Gu Shishi glanced at it and returned it to her.
She didn't say anything. Obviously, she didn't want to talk anymore.
When Chen Kexin came back with the soup dumplings, Gu Shishi said happily, "Try it while it's hot. The restaurant next door is pretty good. Besides the confinement meal, I secretly ate one or two of them. The little one cried when he opened his eyes. "
"Haha, nonsense. He just wants to drink milk."
Old Madam Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, she knew that Gu Shishi didn't want to have anything to do with the Huo family, so she didn't talk about it anymore.
She picked up a soup dumpling from her granddaughter and ate it slowly.
"It's really good."
She smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Later, I'll have to ask you for a painting of soup dumplings to hang in the living room."
Chen Kexin interrupted at the right time. "My sister-in-law is pregnant too. She named her baby soup dumplings."
Gu Shishi almost burst out laughing.
She turned around and glanced at Huo Sishen, who was sitting upright next to her.
At that time, she also wanted to give the child a nickname. Little wonton, little bun, little glutinous dumpling … Cute and cute.
However, Huo Sishen firmly disagreed. He still liked the word 'a', the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the end, he decided on the nickname 'aleph'.
"It sounds pretty good."
Gu Shishi winked at Huo Sishen.
