Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 277: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (23)
It didn't take long for the news of Huo Shichu and Fo Bojian's marriage to spread. After all, sometimes Madam Fo would go shopping or do beauty treatments with Huo Shichu, and it would be easy for them to meet the ladies in the circle. Those people were curious about why Madam Fo seemed to have a good relationship with Huo Shichu. Madam Fo did not hide anything and happily announced that Huo Shichu was her daughter-in-law.
Those people were shocked as they never expected that Fo Baijian would actually marry Huo Shichu. As a famous young talent, Fo Baijian was a candidate for a rich son-in-law favored by many people in the circle. They all hinted that they wanted to marry him, but never succeeded.
Unexpectedly, Huo Shichu succeeded in getting this difficult and coveted man, and before that, no one knew that they were in a relationship.
But now that things have come to this, they are upset and have no choice but to congratulate Mrs. Fo and ask when the wedding will be held. Mrs. Fo told them that the wedding is being prepared and they will be entertained at that time.
These noble ladies were all very smart. Seeing that Old Lady Fo liked Huo Shichu so much and treated her very well, without any difficulty or ridicule, they might feel a little uncomfortable, but since the matter had already been settled, what else could they do? They could only regret that their daughter was not capable of handling Fo Baijian.
After all, the Huo family had not yet completely fallen, so Old Mrs. Huo soon heard about Huo Shichu's marriage to Fo Bojian.
When she first heard this from her personal secretary, she didn't believe it. She drooped her eyelids and denied it expressionlessly: "How is it possible! How could the Buddhist family fall for that ungrateful ungrateful person? They must have recognized the wrong person."
"Madam, there is no mistake. Madam Fo did admit in person that her daughter-in-law is Miss Huo Shichu." The personal secretary took out a small bag of documents from the briefcase and handed it to Madam Huo, saying, "These are photos of Miss Huo Shichu and Madam Fo shopping and eating together. They are all real."
Old Mrs. Huo put on her reading glasses and saw Huo Shichu in the photo at a glance. It was unknown what Huo Shichu was talking about with Old Mrs. Fo. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces. The joy on their faces was obviously from the heart, and people would be involuntarily infected by the smiles on their faces and couldn't help but laugh.
Old Madam Huo pursed her lips tightly, staring at Huo Shichu with her cloudy eyes. She felt as if something was choking her chest. She felt aggrieved and depressed, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
She had never liked her daughter, Huo Shichu, because she almost lost her life when she gave birth to her, and she felt bad when she saw her. Therefore, she participated very little in Huo Shichu's growth process, and pushed the responsibility to the childcare nanny, tutor, and school. She herself focused all her attention on her eldest son's family and almost ignored her younger daughter.
It was precisely because she had no feelings for Huo Shichu that after her husband died, she wanted to push Huo Shichu out so easily and sacrifice her in exchange for her own voice in the group. Unfortunately, this plan failed and the voice of her own company was taken away. When she knew the result, she really wished Huo Shichu would die outside.
Unfortunately, Huo Shichu was lucky. After running away from home, he was able to get close to Fo Baijian... Old Mrs. Huo narrowed her eyes slightly. After the initial shock and indignation, she was already quickly calculating what benefits her family could get from Huo Shichu marrying into the Buddhist family.
"Give me my cell phone." Old Mrs. Huo is worthy of being the mistress of a wealthy family all her life. Because it is profitable, as a mother, it is not impossible for her to take the initiative to humble herself and reconcile with her daughter who ran away from home.
Therefore, even if she disliked Huo Shichu in her heart, Huo's mother was ready to reconcile with Huo Shichu. Huo Shichu was no longer the penniless person who was kicked out of the house by her, but the eldest lady of the Buddhist family. This identity was not ordinary and represented the title of the next generation of noble ladies of the top wealthy families.
Although the Huo family is also considered a wealthy family, it has now begun to decline and can be considered a third-rate wealthy family at best. But the Buddhist family is different. The Buddhist family has always been a first-rate wealthy family. Even during the Huo family's most prosperous period, they could not compare to the Buddhist family.
That's why when Mrs. Huo found out that Huo Shichu had married into a Buddhist family, she was willing to "lower her dignity" and "endure humiliation" to reconcile with Huo Shichu - after all, she still had plans for her precious grandson.
Mother Huo called Huo Shichu again and cleared her throat. She had already thought about how to show weakness and how to reminisce the "mother-daughter relationship" of the past with Huo Shichu.
But all her plans were ruined by the prompt tone coming from the mobile phone: "The number you dialed is powered off."
Huo Shichu had blocked her and Huo Zheng's phone numbers a long time ago. Huo's mother forgot this, but Huo Shichu did not.
Mother Huo couldn't believe it and pulled the trigger several times before she had to give up. She was so angry that her chest was gasping for breath. She tried to hold it back, but in the end she couldn't hold it back anymore and cursed, "What an ungrateful person, so cold and heartless. I should have strangled her to death!"
The personal secretary thought of herself as a wooden man and wished she were invisible, for fear that Huo's mother would vent her anger on her.
Fortunately, Huo Zheng came back from school at this time, which saved the personal secretary from danger.
"Grandma, who made you angry?" Huo Zheng was a smart man. He immediately saw that his mother was angry, so he asked.
Although Huo's mother was very harsh to Huo Shichu, she had nothing to say about her grandson Huo Zheng. She had planned everything for him and protected and doted on him like the apple of her eye.
"It's still that unfilial daughter Huo Shichu!" Mother Huo's anger subsided a little when she saw her beloved grandson coming back, but she still felt disgusted whenever Huo Shichu was mentioned.
When Huo Zheng heard Huo Shichu's name, his eyes sparkled, and then he asked in surprise: "Grandma, is there finally any news about aunt? Is she doing well out there? Is she coming back?"
Mother Huo snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic tone, "They are doing well. They have even married the Buddha. How can they not be good? Come back? They are now on a high branch. How can they still look down on the declining Huo family?"
When Huo Zheng heard what his mother said, the expectation and surprise on his face could hardly be maintained. However, his mother hated Huo Shichu so much that she didn't care about Huo Zheng's expression and so didn't notice anything.
"Grandma, what do you mean? Aunt and Buddhism... Is it the Buddhism I was thinking of? What's the relationship between Aunt and Buddhism?" Huo Zheng is worthy of being Huo's mother's grandson. When he heard that Huo Shichu had a relationship with Buddhism, he immediately thought of what benefits he could get from it, so he was particularly concerned about the relationship between Huo Shichu and Buddhism.
"Your aunt is really capable. I never thought she could hook up with Fo Baijian! I really underestimated her. She even made Old Lady Fo recognize her as her daughter-in-law..." Mother Huo said sarcastically. She secretly hated Huo Shichu for not showing her ability when her husband just died. Otherwise, why would she let her marry Zhou Wenye, the useless one? Wouldn't it be better to directly marry Fo Baijian? !
