Chapter 440 – “She can’t give her daughter more pressure.” (4)
She was not able to blend in!
The madams from the Li or Chen families wouldn’t give her the time of their day!
“Did I do something wrong? Even though they didn’t come, I’ve still sent over my homemade cookies.”
Gu Jiangxin lowered his eyes.
Which one of these wealth wives would enter the kitchen while they socialize?
These women were pampered. They didn’t even know how to make tomato and egg stir fry. Rather, they didn’t want to; they didn’t need to.
Dong Xiaotong was 20 years younger than him and also 20 years younger than the madams of the Chen and Li families.
Naturally, they would not be hanging out together......
On top of that, she was the second wife who was previously his secretary…
And her hobby of making snacks. It was a far cry from the other madam’s hobby of collecting famous artwork!
To put it bluntly, Dong Xiaotong was not poised enough for the situation!
Gu Jiangxin frowned. “I will give you a card. Go and see if you can take some tea ceremony, painting, or music appreciation for your free time.”
Dong Xiaotong turned pale from that one that he said.
She got the subtext. She wasn’t cultured enough for him!
Gu Jiangxin, on the other hand, did not noticed the change in her expression. He went on contemplating over how to get his hand on a painting for Mayor Liu.
Tomorrow, he would send someone to obtain the contact information of said artist.
Capital.
Mother Gu, disgusted by Gu Jiangxin, who was there for business, all over again had difficulty falling asleep.
She grew up in the capital and had many girlfriends there.
Nevertheless, all of them have husbands, mothers-in-law, children. They had a complete family. Her, on the other hand, returning under such situation, was unable to gripe to them about her misfortunes. She didn’t want to be embarrassed!
“Shuangshuang, are you in bed already? Mommy missed you. How are you doing lately? Maybe Mommy should come and pay you a visit?”
Mother Gu picked up the phone and called Gu Wushuang with no hesitation.
Nevertheless, 9:30 PM was Gu Wushuang and Huo Wencheng’s cuddling time.
Huo Wencheng situated her in a small mansion not far from the Huo’s residence. He used working overtime as a cover and would stay with her till she had fallen asleep before returning to his own place.
Right now, they two of them were busying kissing each other and were just one step from going all the way.
The call from Zhang Wen could not have come at a worst time.
“Mommy… I am fine. Oh, I need to get up early for an 8 AM meeting tomorrow morning. I am just about to turn in.”
Gu Wushuang was out of breath.
Mother Gu, however, did not notice that something was off.
When her heart was weak, she would always be out of breath just from jogging a few steps.
Even after the surgery, she was still at the fragile stage of recovering.
“You used the treadmill again? You shouldn’t be exercising now. You should go to bed early if you need to get up early.”
Zhang Wen was worried for her right away.
“Okay, I will let you go then. Don’t stay up too late.”
“Mmm. Bye, Mommy.”
Gu Wushuang quickly hung up the phone.
The dial tone came so abruptly that even Zhang Wen was taken aback a little.
Gu Wushuang didn’t seem so rushed in the past; nor would she hang up before someone of an older generation.
What was going on today?
Was she undergoing a lot of stress lately?
She had to manage the company and not have anyone taking care of her in her day-to-day life. Her living quality had definitely gone downhill.
Zhang Wen felt guilty about that.
She would not be able to assist Gu Wushuang in managing the company even if she returned to City Shen. In fact, Gu Wushuang would need to take time out of her day to take care of her.
She shouldn’t have!
She knew that Gu Wushuang had been busy and tired. How could she listen to her brother and think that Wushuang didn’t care about her as much as she used to?
Her days were rough and she couldn’t even worry about her own health!
She shouldn’t have thought that about her child!
Zhang Wen shook her head and put her brother’s words aside. She did not utter a word about having her daughter support her as a test.
She couldn’t possibly give her more pressure than she already had!
