Gu Yanwei's eyelids twitched as if they were signaling an ominous premonition. She immediately opened her mouth to stop her sister. "Ruochu don't spout nonsense here."
Huo Jingjing laughed sarcastically. Her expression had turned ugly when she heard Gu Ruochu's words. Her brain buzzed for a moment before she flew into a rage. "Gu Ruochu, what nonsense are you spouting? Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Gu Ruochu pretended to be frightened by Huo Jingjing's attitude. She shut her mouth and did not say another word.
"Hospital? What hospital? Boyfriend?" Huo Zhenggang's expression darkened and he took the initiative to question her. "Jingjing, you have a boyfriend?"
Hospital? Boyfriend? Not in good health?
When the people at the dining table pieced together those few keywords, their first suspicion was that she may have had an abortion.
Huo Zhenggang had always been strict with Huo Jingjing and had forbidden her from having a boyfriend. When the time came, he wanted her to marry into a prestigious family.
Although she was an illegitimate daughter, she still carried the Huo family's name.
Huo Jingjing quickly shook her head and tried to explain. "No, I don't. Dad, I've always listened to you and I completed my studies. How could I possibly have a boyfriend? Sister-in-law must have seen wrongly."
She carefully worded the last sentence as if she was delivering a stark warning.
"I didn't see wrongly? I clearly saw you with a man in Mingde Hospital. I even tried to say hello..." Gu Ruochu continued to speak as if she did not understand her warning at all.
"Gu Ruochu, if you continue to spout nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Gu Ruochu finally realized that she had said the wrong thing and nervously shut her mouth.
The table fell silent and everyone turned their gaze towards Huo Jingjing's direction.
Gu Yanwei knew that Huo Jingjing was her ally. Gu Ruochu clearly wanted to tarnish Huo Jingjing's reputation in the Huo family!
Old Lady Huo's furrowed her white brows and her shrewd eyes revealed an icy coldness. An illegitimate daughter would always turn out to be an illegitimate mistress!
Her granddaughter had no future.
Huo Nanchen, who was standing by the side, coughed lightly and glanced at Gu Ruochu with a faint smile. His wife was acting like a fool. She was about to cause some major drama.
At this point, Huo Zhenggang's suspicions were very high. Mrs. Huo had given birth to three sons for him, but he only had one daughter, Huo Jingjing. Even though she was an illegitimate daughter, his wife had still doted on her and had insisted on finding a good family for her.
However, not only did his illegitimate daughter have a boyfriend behind his back, but she had also given birth to an evil child!
"Huo Jingjing, did you go for an abortion?"
"Dad, I... I didn't!" Huo Jingjing suddenly cried like a pear blossom in the rain. Her eyes flashed with uneasiness and her heart was in a state of panic. She did not know how Gu Ruochu had found out about this matter...
Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Jingjing and the anger that she had suppressed for a long time finally came to the surface. She sneered coldly, "Whether you had an abortion or not, we'll know once you go to the hospital for a checkup. As expected, you've turned out just like your mother! Hubby, you've seen how much you've loved your good daughter, and you want me to help her find a good family. Do you want your daughter to serve two husbands?"
Mrs. Huo's words stabbed Huo Zhenggang's heart. As he looked at Huo Jingjing's crying face, his anger completely burned away his rationality. This shameless daughter of his had actually tarnished the Huo family's reputation!
"Dad, it was Gu Ruochu who framed me. My sister-in-law must have done it on purpose!" Huo Jingjing yelled at the top of her lungs. However, Huo Zhenggang would not be easily deceived. "Fine, you say that she did, then we'll go to the hospital for a check-up and see if your sister-in-law has wronged you!"
"Dad!"
Huo Jingjing was so scared that she could only cry. She never thought that she would be exposed in front of her father.
