Chapter 463 – She wonders if her mother ever regretted about her decisions. (2)

Huo ChuChu blinked; her ears perked up in disbelief.

Her brother had always been so macho. When had he ever admitted fault in front of her?

She couldn’t help but look from one of them to the other. Her wronged eyes lit up instantly.

Executive Assistant Meng was right, observation was the key.

Her big brother, who used to be such a cold person, now wouldn’t even say another word when her sister-in-law pawn it all off on him. He even took the blame for her!

Beauties are the Archilles’ tendons of heroes. Her sister-in-law had her brother wrapped around her little finger!

Huo ChuChu pursed her lips and smiled secretively as she lowered her head.

“My mom probably just said that in the heat of the moment.”

Huo ChuChu wisely changed the subject.

“That being said though, she has always been a stubborn one. As long as Second Brother doesn’t admit that he was wrong, she will follow through with it!”

Huo ChuChu had over ten years of experience dueling with her mother.

“My mom would not change her mind unless Second Brother had it figured out and admit that he was wrong.

“And if I can’t fill the role, she just might arrange for my…. alliance marriage shortly.”

Having said that, Huo ChuChu had a bitter look on her.

In addition to the incident with her big brother, part of the reasons that Huo ChuChu was very rebellious was also because she was well aware of her value for the Huo family.”

Their family did not have a strong man who could prop up the entire family. They did not have father or grandfather like other families did…. As for her big brother, he was banished from the family… all they had left was her second brother. Her mother and her grandmother had entertained the idea of having her in an alliance marriage since she was just a child.

A strong son-in-law and in-law family would allow the Huo family to go on for another 10 ~ 20 years.

By, both hers and her second brother’s offspring would be born. There would be sufficient time to raise the next successor.

Mother Huo knew this clearly.

She might have been livid but she knew what was at stake.

Huo Wencheng was being a bump, so she tried to goad him back on track in the hope that he would, after all, pick the Huo’s family fortune.

If he still stubbornly picked Gu Wushuang and gave up on his mother, then she would cut her losses and look to the next generation for a successor.

Huo ChuChu stretched out her palms. “In the past, she had been eying the top-ranking business families. Now, if Second Brother continues down his current path, she is going to start looking for candidates who can marry in. Anyone who had studied abroad, elite of Wall Street, anyone under the age of 30 with net asset over 100 million yuan… there are plenty of those out there. I trust that she is already making that list.”

Gu Shishi was so shocked that she had forgotten to eat her cake.

Wow, what a “mother-in-law”. So lucky she didn’t have to live under the same roof and wait on her… otherwise, they just might get into fights left and right.

She was too aggressive!

When she was deep in thought, Huo ChuChu sneaked a rub onto her stomach.

“Ooooh, there is a little baby in there!”

Huo ChuChu became very excited all of a sudden.

“I am about to be an aunt. Do we know whether it’s a boy or girl yet?”

Gu Shishi placed her palm over her own forehead. “Are you stressed about your mom forcing you into a marriage?”

Huo ChuChu waved her hand decisively, “Of course I am.”

Having said that, she reined in some of her joking look and had a never-before-seen seriousness on her.

“But I will resist some when she tries to force me to get married. Besides, I have decided to give it a good try and at least do better than Second Brother did! Just to shut her up! And shame my Second Brother!

“Besides, perhaps I can even coordinate with Big Brother and transfer everything over to him!”

As she talked, she cautiously glanced over at Huo Sishen.

Huo Sishen was flipping through the interior design magazine that Gu Shishi had subscribed to. He looked up and looked at Huo ChuChu with his cold, black eyes when he heard that.

“No need.”
