Gu Ruochu casually sat on the sofa and stared straight at her. Her pitch-black eyes were filled with a sharp iciness. "Are you doubting me?"
Gu Yanwei felt her blood run cold as she stared at her. She maintained a gentle smile on her face and tried to coax her. "Ruochu, how much do you have? Give it to me first. I'll definitely return it to you once I get my salary."
"Then I'll let you enjoy endless glory and work even harder to seduce my husband." Gu Ruochu enunciated each word as she laughed softly. "Sister, with your acting skills, you're definitely much better than those little flowers in the entertainment industry. You obviously want to take my place, yet you greet him with a smile. You're amazing..."
Gu Yanwei's face instantly turned pale. She widened her eyes as she looked at her sister. It was as if she wanted to see every single hair on her head clearly.
"You..."
Gu Yanwei stared at her for a long while. A cold expression appeared on her face. "So you knew about this a long time ago, but you still pretended as if nothing had happened. I thought you really weren't scheming. I've been wrong about you all these years. You're quite good at pretending.
"That's right. In order to pay off my gambling debts, I advised mother to marry you off. I didn't want to get married back then, so mother thought of a way to push you out. Now, I just want to take back what's mine!"
Gu Ruochu had already seen through her and treated her like a clown. She thought about how she had just lowered her dignity and tried to borrow money from her.
The more Gu Yanwei thought about it, the more she hated Gu Ruochu. She could no longer hold back her hatred for her.
"How can I compare to you, big sister? You're a dazzling White Lotus in the prime of time."
Gu Yanwei's eyes flashed with malice when she heard Gu Ruochu's snickering. "Gu Ruochu, you couldn't defeat me in the past, and you won't defeat me now. Other than your face, how can you compare yourself to me? You're destined to be my stepping stone for the rest of your life."
"Is that so? Let's wait and see then."
Gu Yanwei heard the words and gritted her teeth. She then turned to leave the room. Gu Ruochu thought her annoying sister had finally left. Her ears would enjoy some silence for a while. She did not expect to hear Mrs. Huo's authoritative voice.
"Yanwei, you haven't left yet?" Mrs. Huo looked at the European clock hanging on the left side of the stairs. "It's already so late. It's not convenient for a girl like you. I'll get Old Wu to take you home."
"There's no need, Aunt Huo." Gu Yanwei smiled. "Ruochu is just a child. We haven't had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time, so we've been talking for a while."
'Gu Yanwei surely knows how to use me.'
Mrs. Huo could not help but smile. "Then you'll sleep here tonight. I'll get someone to help you tidy up a room for you. You're not only Nanchen's assistant, you're also a relative of the Huo family."
A dark light flashed across Gu Yanwei's eyes and she behaved appropriately. She smiled elegantly and said, "That's fine, Aunt Huo. I accept your offer."
Before she left with the servants, she passed Gu Ruochu's room door, looking pleased and provocative. Gu Ruochu did not know what she was so pleased about, but she was especially displeased when she saw that she was provoking her.
Mrs. Huo had arranged for a room close to Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen's master bedroom. Gu Ruochu ignored her sister. She removed her makeup, took a shower, and washed her hair. When she was done, she lay comfortably on the large bed.
Gu Ruochu did not sleep much.
When Huo Nanchen returned and saw her on the bed, his eyes suddenly turned ugly and malicious. "What are you doing in my room?"
