“But where did it go wrong?”

Gu Jiangxin, too, could feel blood rushing to his head.

There was nothing that he could do other than heading home angrily, still holding onto the painting. His hands shook uncontrollably his entire way back.

Before he was even able to reach his front door after he got out of the car, his young wife already came running from inside out. “Lao Gu, what happened? The school fired my Third Aunty and they even sent out a notification that they will be removing her teaching credentials and she will never be able to teach again.”

Gu Jiangxin’s body rocked back and forth. Everything went black in front of his eyes and he started falling backward.

He finally realized that the gift that he had prepared for Mayor Liu… could not have gone more wrong!

The anxiety the entire way home along with his wife’s nervous shriek finally turned into the weight that had crushed him!

Gu Shishi only heard about all this through Sier three days later.

This melon was sufficiently thrilling.

Not too long after that, there were words that there were issues with Jingde Realty’s books. There was money unaccounted for in the last few years.

Gu Jiangxin also had a cerebral infraction after his minor stroke.

This quick development caught everybody by surprise.

Rumors spread quickly among that certain that Gu Jiangxin had offended someone higher up and the other party was determined to get rid of both him and the entire Gu’s Corporation!

The realty area under Gu Jiangxin was not the only one dragged into this. Even the gaming and skincare product areas became collateral damages. Even the Huo’s Enterprise, who had a big 5-year contract with Gu Jiangxin was visited by the Tax Bureau.

With Gu Jiangxin in the hospital, words had it that Gu Wushuang and Huo Wencheng had been yelling at him every day. So much that their eyes were reddened.

“So much melons. I am getting stuff from it.”

Gu Shishi never would have imagined that one painting from her could have caused such a chain reaction.

As the culprit behind it all, she patted her stomach and decided to hide her credit.

Huo Sishen couldn’t help but held her hand and stopped her unallowed action. He helped her sit up straight and said, “Sit properly. Chuchu said you didn’t pick up when she called you this morning?”

Gu Shishi finally stopped laughing.

She had been too busy with gossiping with the elderlies in the art association and was so engrossed that she had not paid attention to her other phone.

She finally handed the cushion over to the boss, sat up straight, and returned Chuchu’s call.

She hasn’t even said a word yet when she was shocked by the shrieking coming from the other end.

“AAHHHHHH!”

“AAHHHHHH!”

“AAHHHHHH!”

It sounded like Huo ChuChu might have turned into a groundhog.

Startled, Gu Shishi almost tossed her phone out of her hand.

Huo Sishen snagged the phone from Gu Shishi by the time Huo ChuChu shrieked the second time.

“Huo ChuChu.”

The voice died down immediately.

“Big Brother… sister-in-law…”

Gu Shishi quickly took the phone back. “Calm down. What is going on?”

Huo Sishen sneered, obviously disgruntled at his sister’s unladylike behavior.

Gu Shishi patted him on his thigh and had him not be so petty.

The next second, what came over from the other hand made her hand shook.

“Sister-in-law… it, it looks like I am about to succeed our family business.”

Huo ChuChu had lowered her voice after the warning from Huo Sishen but the excitement in her voice was still very obvious.

Puuf – Gu Shishi almost pinched Huo Sishen hard on his thigh!

“OOOOH?!”

She still remembered the days when this little girl was invisible and rebellious.

“Are you serious? How did this happen?”

Gu Shishi perked up right away.

She was still eating the last melon and a new one came already!

She felt as excited as she had won the first prize in a gossip lottery.

She gave Huo Sishen a look and, with his permission, switched the call over to speaker.
