"Don't worry, mother. I've been too impatient the past few times." Gu Yanwei's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion as her gaze gradually became clear and bright.
Ever since they were young, she had been the more outstanding of the two sisters.
A clairvoyant who had read her fortune had said that she was born with rich and noble luck. In the future, she would be the young lady in a wealthy family.
Gu Ruochu had been her foil since she was young. If she had not given her the position of Lady Huo, she would currently have a wealthy life as the Young Madam.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. However, it was useless to have regrets about the past. She would never allow Gu Ruochu to enjoy the life that she should have had.
"Since you know what you're doing, I won't say anymore." Zhou Yunxi also wanted to anger Gu Ruochu. In the past, when she had been obedient to her, she had treated her daughter well.
However, after the car accident, Gu Ruochu's temper had been so bad that Zhou Yunxi decided to help Yanwei. She wanted Gu Ruochu to understand that it was useless to oppose her.
However, she had failed to tame Gu Ruochu and their relationship had reached a freezing point.
Zhou Yunxi finally understood that Gu Ruochu was no longer as obedient as before. If she did not want to lose her daughter completely, she would have to be less extreme than before.
Once she coaxed the little girl back, everything would be easy to discuss.
She understood her daughter's personality. Gu Ruochu would eventually soften her stance. The grace of giving birth was greater than the heavens. She couldn't possibly abandon her mother.
Zhou Yunxi was dreaming. She didn't know that her daughter was no longer the soft-hearted Gu Ruochu. Instead, she was now the cold-blooded Bai Qi.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yunxi and her daughter arrived at the Huo family mansion by taxi.
Gu Yanwei rummaged through her purse, planning to pay for the taxi.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Huo had just returned from her beauty treatments with a few other wealthy ladies. She seemed to be in a good mood. When Zhou Yunxi recalled how Mrs. Huo had criticized Yanwei in front of so many people last time, her face darkened.
This time, it was Huo Zhenggang who had invited them over for a meal. Women had to put their husbands first. Since Huo Zhenggang admired Yanwei, Mrs. Huo would have to follow her husband's wishes and treat them well.
"Mrs. Huo, long time no see."
Zhou Yunxi had dressed for the occasion. She had a sense of superiority on her face as if she truly thought of herself as a rich lady.
Mrs. Huo had actually seen Zhou Yunxi arrive, but she hadn't bothered with her. She had not expected Zhou Yunxi to have the nerve to come up and greet her.
"What's the matter?" Because she was outside, Mrs. Huo answered her perfunctorily.
In Zhou Yunxi's opinion, Mrs. Huo was admitting defeat to them.
Humph! Mrs. Huo was powerless. She still had to follow her husband's orders.
Zhou Yunxi's eyes were filled with pride. Moving forward, she would encourage Yanwei to impress Huo Zhenggang even more. He was the head of the Huo family. Even Huo Nanchen had to listen to his father.
"It's nothing. It's just that we had a little conflict earlier. I didn't want to fuss about it, but it's all in the past."
Mrs. Huo could not believe her ears. Zhou Yunxi was basically saying, "It's all your fault, but I forgive you now." Where did she get such arrogance from?
"Mrs. Huo, let's go in quickly. The Young Madam and Young Master will be back soon." Nanny Zhang couldn't stand the mother-daughter pair's expressions and avoided making eye contact with them as she spoke to Mrs. Huo.
"Okay."
Before Zhou Yunxi could smirk, Mrs. Huo had already entered the villa. Nanny Zhang followed her with a cold face.
Zhou Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. As she was about to enter the villa, the doorman stopped her at the door. Zhou Yunxi was furious. "How dare you! Don't you know who I am?"
The doorman was not stupid. He had noticed Mrs. Huo's dark face. Needless to say, she hated this woman.
