Mrs. Huo was furious. She had never been that angry in her life.
"Gu Li, you're sick! You still have the face to compare yourself to Ruochu?" Mrs. Huo was so irritated that she laughed. "Unfair? What? Does the Huo family have to go through the Gu family's guidance to find a daughter-in-law? Please, enlighten me!"
"No, that's not what I meant..." Gu Li sobbed even harder. Her pitiful look was enough to break anyone's heart. "Auntie, I can take a step back from Gu Ruochu. I don't want her to get a divorce, but Brother Nanchen must stay by my side and treat me as he treats Gu Ruochu. Even if I don't have any status, if he treats me well, I won't make a big deal out of this."
The second half of her sentence was a disguised threat. Gu Ruochu could not believe how shameless she was.
Gu Li's eyes fell on Gu Ruochu, who was in Huo Nanchen's arms. Her heart was filled with jealousy. She charged towards her with brute force, trying to send her flying.
Huo Nanchen's expression was filled with disdain.
Gu Li was used to being barbaric since she was young, and she was quite strong for her age. She charged towards Gu Ruochu with all her might, and her sharp fingernails were aimed at Gu Ruochu's face.
She wanted to scratch her face and see if she could still seduce a man and show off!
The crowd suddenly let out a scream. Huo Nanchen raised his leg and kicked her in the chest. Everyone was stunned. They had never seen a man hit a woman in public.
It was too terrifying. Gu Li reeled back from the kick.
Huang Meixiang screamed and quickly went forward to help her daughter. She was exasperated. Her voice was very sharp.
"You rich and powerful people have ganged up to bully my daughter! Qi Ru, if you continue to protect your son, you will suffer retribution! Do you think that the Gu family has no support? I will inform the Ning family right away and let Chairman Ning make the decision for us!"
Gu Qiang saw that his wife was very fierce but he did not stop her. In any case, when one reviewed the facts, reason was still on his family's side.
Seeing that things had progressed to this point, Gu Yanwei smiled triumphantly. She was very proud of herself. "Auntie Huo, don't be angry. My cousin has suffered a lot. You have to give her an explanation."
In all these years, no one had dared to call Mrs. Huo by her full name, Qi Ru. Mrs. Huo could not stand such a shrew, so she spoke loudly.
"Huang Meixiang, shut up! You only know how to use your precious daughter to cause trouble, but you can't bring out any concrete evidence. Do you want us to give in? In your dreams! You can call the Ning family over. I believe my son. You only have a female cleaner as your witness. How can you convince us? How can you be so sure that she saw my son and not some random man?"
Mrs. Huo's ambiance successfully suppressed Huang Meixiang to the point where she no longer had any confidence. She spoke in a low and weary voice. "Yanwei has already said that she has retrieved the video from the bar. Is that not conclusive evidence?"
Gu Ruochu replied, "Who knows if it's a forgery? Nowadays, it's very easy to alter a video."
"Whether it's a forgery or not, you'll know once you've seen it. Perhaps you can even find someone to verify it!" Gu Yanwei finally had the chance to speak and was extremely confident. "Since you've always said that you believe in Nanchen, don't say I didn't warn you."
"All right, if you have irrefutable evidence, let it out in front of everyone!"
Qi Ru listened to her son's explanation and was 100% convinced of his innocence.
