"Why should I answer your question? I have the right to remain silent. Who do you think you are? Do you think I have to answer you just because you asked me?"
Gu Ruochu's contempt and disdain made the female reporter angry, and she felt humiliated.
"I know Miss Gu did so many dirty things, which the public doesn't know about. You have such low status, what can't a subordinate not do for the sake of wealth and glory?"
"What I did has nothing to do with you? What are you doing here? Are you a messenger of justice?"
The female reporter's expression changed when she heard the sarcasm. She said righteously, "I'm a reporter. I have to expose all the dirty things to the public."
"What a great way to expose scandals!" Gu Ruochu slowly walked towards her. Her aura was indescribably terrifying, and the female reporter straightened her back.
"Since everyone is gathered here today, I'll take this opportunity to make things clear." Gu Ruochu suddenly grabbed the microphone. "Miss Yanwei, your mother is getting old, and you are delusional. You were only my husband's secretary. A position I sought for you after I got married. It's fine if you don't know how to be grateful, but you even fantasize that my husband likes you. Who came first, and who came later? Don't you know?
"Madam Zhou, didn't you sell me out to pay off your gambling debts? Back then, you heard rumors that Nanchen was gay. You didn't want Gu Yanwei to get married and suffer, so you set your sights on me. Dear mother, did you see me as your daughter? Did you ever think of my despair? If you were in my shoes, how would you treat a mother like this?"
The reporters fell silent. That was true. How could anyone deal with such a mother?
Gu Ruochu added, "Everything I've just said can be proven. At the Huo family's banquet, my husband mercilessly kicked out this mother and daughter pair. If he even had the slightest bit of affection for Miss Yanwei, he would not have slapped her in the face. If you do not believe me, you can go and watch the news report from that incident. On the other hand, Miss Yanwei is always making up rumors that my husband likes her, causing the public to accuse me of being a mistress. What do you have in mind?"
Gu Ruochu's logic made sense, and her words were clear. A simple sentence had answered all of the reporter's questions. Gu Yanwei gritted her teeth, but she was still determined to continue her weak act in an attempt to gain sympathy. "Ruochu, I didn't do anything. You've really misunderstood me."
Gu Ruochu's words made the reporters fall into deep thought, and the atmosphere fell silent.
If that Gu Ruochu's version of events were true, then her mother and sister were too vicious.
Zhou Yunxi could not refute Gu Ruochu's allegations. However, she did not back down. "Stop changing the topic. You're married, and you don't care about your mother. Aren't you being unfilial? You're Madam Huo now, of course, you can say anything!"
"Madam Zhou, you're wrong. If you really did sell your daughter, you shouldn't have the face to come knocking on her door."
The reporters had thought that Gu Ruochu had abandoned her family after her marriage into the Huo family. They did not expect that there would be such a twist to the story.
"I... She did it of her own free will. I didn't force her!" Zhou Yunxi held her neck and said, "Besides, there would be no children in this world without their parents. How could she not care about a mother like me!"
"Parents?" Gu Ruochu stared at her."Madam Zhou just said that she would never acknowledge me. Why are you speaking so incoherently and sarcastically? I will use this opportunity to officially renounce our relationship. From today onwards, I am not your daughter."
Gu Ruochu's words caused an uproar among the reporters.
Madam Huo had made such a ruthless move.
Her mother was like a vampire. If Gu Ruochu were to compromise with her, she would be tortured to death.
