How could this be?
"Then tell me, when and where did my husband do this to you?" Gu Ruochu looked at Gu Yanwei's increasingly vicious gaze and felt even less at ease.
'This woman is about to die, yet she's still so calm?'
Gu Yanwei gritted her teeth.
"It was at a bar last night. He was very gentle to me and helped me to a hotel after I got drunk. The bar's name is Nightfall. I remember arriving at the hotel at six in the evening. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask!"
Gu Ruochu's heart skipped a beat. It was true that Huo Nanchen had not returned by six o'clock the previous evening.
Was it possible that he had been set up by this woman?
Soon, the witness who had seen Gu Li at the bar arrived. It was a female cleaner who was in her sixties. Gu Li asked, "Tell me, did you see a man take me out of the bar last night?"
"I... I saw it." It was a coincidence. She had gotten off work late the previous night. "I was still cleaning the toilets in the bar. I saw this girl drunk, and she was forcefully taken away by a man. I told the manager, but he told me to mind my own business."
"Mrs. Huo, did you hear that? This witness has confirmed Gu Li's story. The cleaner is not related to our family. Would she deliberately frame you?" Huang Meixiang was even more arrogant and thought that she was being reasonable.
"Then what do you want?" Mrs. Huo could not bear to see her smug face. She felt that her son was not that kind of person, but the time and place seemed to agree with their allegations.
"I, Huang Meixiang, only have one daughter. She's still so young. She can't have her future ruined because of this. She must get justice. Let Gu Ruochu leave the house with nothing so that Huo Nanchen can officially marry our Lili."
Huang Meixiang felt that she was in the right, and her attitude was particularly snobbish. She deliberately looked at Gu Ruochu and said, "That's my opinion. Even if someone is unhappy, there's nothing I can do."
Mrs. Huo's expression was extremely ugly. If Ruochu left the house with nothing, and Gu Li married into the Huo family, how could she have any pride left?
"Cousin, I'm begging you, please give him to me. I could have a child in my belly. The doctor said that I have a fertile body."
Gu Li suddenly burst into tears. Her words made Gu Ruochu feel awkward.
"Sigh, this lady from the Gu family looks so pitiful."
"She's just a virgin. If it wasn't for her despair, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be humiliated like this."
"..."
It was normal for people to subconsciously sympathize with the weak, especially a delicate and pitiful woman. Gu Ruochu hated this kind of discussion where the weak led the rhythm. Gu Li was weak, but she still had evil intentions.
The witness had already been investigated and deemed credible. Gu Yanwei's smile was gentle, but her sinister aura was very thick.
"Ruochu, do you think that Auntie Huo would give my cousin such an explanation? My cousin is a virgin. She's a perfect match for Nanchen."
Gu Yanwei was determined to see Gu Ruochu kicked out of the Huo family.
"A perfect match?"
A cold voice rang out. The crowd turned towards the source of the voice and saw a tall and straight figure standing at the door.
When the crowd saw his elegance, they refused to believe that this was the "scumbag" that the Gu family was referring to.
Gu Ruochu did not know what had happened to her. She stood up and ran towards him as if she had lost all control of her emotions. In Huo Nanchen's eyes, she was like a flying spirit.
He opened his arms and his gaze was filled with tenderness.
As he held her in his arms, she felt his manly scent. She hugged him back stiffly and felt a surge of emotion.
"I, Huo Nanchen, only need you in this life."
He made the statement in public as if he was giving her an oath. His gentle words of love nourished her already riddled heart.
