Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life - Chapter 378

Chapter 378 – It’s so awesome when your man shares the same values as you. (3)

Besides, these were not even assets. These were the houses that they were living in; they couldn’t even sell them!

How was she going to live then?

“And that was all.”

Huo Wencheng summed it all up cruelly.

Mother Gu was completely dazed by this strike.

Huo Wencheng sighed and said to her, “Aunty, I can arrange for a lawyer for you if you like. But… you should be prepared for the worst.”

Had Gu Jiangxin been planning for this all along, he would have most of the assets transferred out already.

A court case would probably be nothing but a big waste of time and effort.

Mother Gu’s eyes rolled and, finally, not being able to handle any more, lost consciousness.

“Hmm?”

Gu Shishi swam for three-and-a-half lap at the temperature-controlled swimming pool.

She was exhausted and panting loudly as she listened to the man by the side of the swimming pool calmly relaying to her the awful news from the Gu family the last few days.

The awful news pertained only to the white lotus’s mother and daughter.

Gu Jiangxin was doing just fine. Rumor had it that he even went to the amusement park with his son.

The saying that a shameless person is invincible can’t be better said.

“Hearing that makes me… feel somewhat happy. What to do?”

Gu Shishi stuck her tongue out.

She just couldn’t summon up any compassion for those two.

Mother Gu had probably learned by now that the marriage certificate wasn’t as useless as she had portrayed.

Granted, if she had married a sleazebag, a wedding certificate made from diamond wouldn’t be able to save her.

All she could say was that she was a poor judge of character and that her own values were twisted.

“Then we should celebrate.”

The man on the shore with his abdominal muscle and mermaid lines couldn’t wait to stir up more troubles.

He reached out and stroked the little cheek that was half way out of the water.

“How about roast duck tonight?”

Gu Shishi blinked and suddenly felt even hungrier than she was before.

It was so nice to have a man who shared the same values as her!

After she was done swimming and had dinner, Gu Shishi locked herself up in her room in order to focus.

Looking at her drawing paper laid out on the table, she was dazed. She scribbled and started over repeatedly…

Her tendency of being a hikkomori couldn’t have been more obvious.

She was so focused that she didn’t even notice Huo Sishen walking into the room. She doodled mindlessly. Nth different iterations appeared in her mind and she shot them all down.

She was so focused that Huo Sishen decided against interrupting her. He sat down quietly on the couch and perused meeting minutes from various departments on his cellphone.

He was finally interrupted when the alarm clock on Gu Shishi’s cellphone went off.

“Oh my gosh! It’s 11 PM already!”

Gu Shishi scratched her head.

She was about to break down.

“I haven’t even come up with the idea of a peak yet!”

There are million different types of mountains; finding one that would rock all the experts in the field was not easy task!

Huo Sishen stood up, walked over behind her and looked.

He raised his handsome brows.

She was right. It was certainly not vigorous like the Red Mountains that she had drawn for him.

“This is the artwork that you were going to bring to the gathering?”

He heard that artworks that were brought to the gatherings would stay there for the appreciation of the junior members of the association.

“Mmhmm.”

Gu Shishi scratched her head with her paintbrush.

“I just don’t like any of these.”

She really wished for a breakthrough!

“It isn’t bad.”

Huo Sishen frowned.

The thought that someone else would be keeping her work made him feel that… she should just paint something casually.

Yet his little delicate wife has her own pursuit. She wanted her work to be perfect.

And he could do nothing but be supportive of her.

He wondered if the association would let him have her painting if he was to give them a big donation.

It was worth a shot.

Huo Sishen seriously considered it with his head down
