Gu Ruochu hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
Rong Xiao stared blankly at the cell phone. It showed that the call had ended. He could not believe that he had just received a call from Bai Qi. After gathering himself, a grave expression appeared on his face.
'Is there really such a thing as reincarnation in this world?'
However, he would rather believe that Master Qi was still alive.
Gu Ruochu stayed in the hospital for two days. During this period, no one came to visit her. She had ample time to digest the information that Rong Xiao sent her.
It turned out that the original Gu Ruochu had quite a background. She was the Huo family's daughter-in-law. Huo Nanchen's wife!
What was even more shocking was that...
Gu Ruochu had come from a very poor background. Normally, a top-class noble family like the Huo family would never agree to a marriage where the bride was from an ordinary or poor family.
This was strange.
Zhou Yunxi was an ordinary peddler. She even adopted a daughter from an orphanage and named her Gu Yanwei. Her father had a gambling addiction and had incurred many gambling debts. One day, after he ran away from home, he transferred all the debt to the mother and daughter trio.
Huo Nanchen had extended a helping hand to them.
Was it be because of love? The probability was almost zero.
No one could trust the Huo family's intentions in Huaxia. They had once fought on the battlefield and were viewed as the founding fathers of the country. They had a firm grip on the business, political, and military circles in the country.
The Huo family would never allow their eldest grandson to casually marry an unknown woman.
'Interesting.'
Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei had sold Gu Ruochu to the Huo family for a large sum of money. They had used the money to pay off their gambling debts. Not only did they not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but Gu Yanwei was now spending money on high-end luxury goods such as designer bags, cosmetics, and jewelry. It was all thanks to Gu Ruochu's savings from the Huo family.
Of course, Gu Ruochu had volunteered to give the money to her sister. At first, Gu Yanwei tried her best to avoid it. She did not use the money with a clear conscience. However, she had to dress as a rich and beautiful woman.
More than a hundred thousand a month was not a small sum.
No wonder she was wearing the latest Dior dress. It turned out that she had used her younger sister's fortunes to make herself look so glamorous.
Gu Ruochu's in-laws had never liked her. Her husband, who was rarely seen, was indifferent towards her. Gu Ruochu's mother-in-law was filled with resentment when she saw Gu Ruochu's monthly allowance for her family.
Gu Yanwei had used her younger sister's fame to attend many upper-class society events. She was close to a lot of important figures in wealthy circles. Her reputation of being capable, generous, dignified, and virtuous had spread far and wide. Many daughters of well-off families could not even compare to her aura.
If her younger sister had not married into a wealthy family, would Gu Yanwei have had the chance to interact with these people?
On the other hand, Gu Ruochu was petty and timid like a mouse. She was not worthy of the Huo family's pedigree.
In the end, the previous host had been too weak. If she had been a little stronger, these people would not have bullied her and tarnished her reputation.
Things were different now. She was not as easy to talk to as the old Gu Ruochu.
'Give it all to me and wait.'
After going through all the information Rong Xiao had sent her, Gu Ruochu was now in control. She had an outstanding memory. She memorized all the people related to her.
"Lord Qi, the body you've possessed now has quite a powerful background. There's one more thing that you need to be prepared for." Rong Xiao deliberately threatened her over the phone. Suddenly, he raised his voice. "The more terrifying truth is still to come..."
