Huang Meixiang was furious, unreasonable, and arrogant.
Gu Ruochu entered the hallway and saw the two groups confronting each other. It was the same scene as the last time Gu Li had accused Huo Nanchen of sleeping with her.
Mrs. Huo's feared for Gu Ruochu when she saw that Huo Nanchen was not by her side. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be bullied, and she wouldn't be able to stop it. Huang Meixiang was pleased when she realized that the person she feared the most was no longer around.
She was yet to fully vent her anger towards Gu Ruochu.
"Gu Ruochu, no matter how much you have against Lili, just come at me. How heartless are you to lay your hands on a baby! That was the grandson of the Huo family, the first child of Zirui!"
Hearing this, Huo Zirui looked at Gu Ruochu with even more hatred.
She had been jealous of Gu Li and had even harmed his child.
"Is that so? We don't even know if it was the Huo family's child." Gu Ruochu's tone was understated, but it was as if she had thrown a bomb. Huang Meixiang immediately exploded.
"Gu Ruochu, shut up!" Huo Zirui's fist was clenched so hard that it creaked. He could no longer contain his anger.
"Gu Ruochu!" Huang Meixiang also roared angrily. Gu Ruochu's words had insulted her daughter's dignity. She had to fight to defend Gu Li's innocence and purity.
Even Mrs. Huo shot a disapproving look to Gu Ruochu. She had no right to make such a serious allegation without evidence. Otherwise, what would people think of the Huo family?
"Okay, you should ask me to provide evidence. But the same logic holds when Huang Meixiang says that I pushed Gu Li. Her miscarriage had nothing to do with me. You also have no evidence to accuse me!"
"Gu Ruochu, would Gu Li have rolled down the stairs and gotten rid of this child by herself?" Huo Zirui's anger was at its peak.
"Because the child was not yours. Of course, she didn't want to keep it!"
"Say that again! Do you dare to insult her and the child!" Huo Zirui stood up in a flash, his clenched fists showing veins and his emotions highly agitated. "Get lost! Get lost!"
Gu Ruochu was disappointed that Huo Zirui had been deceived for so long. How had he survived until now? She was helping him get rid of a woman who had given him a bastard child, yet he refused to believe her words.
Seeing how Huo Zirui defended her daughter, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Huang Meixiang's eyes. "You want proof, don't you? Many of the cleaning maids saw Lili fall down the stairs!"
Huang Meixiang immediately called one of the maids who had been cleaning that morning. "Were you outside this morning?"
"Yes." The maid trembled in fear, afraid that she would get in trouble.
"Tell us what you saw."
The maid lowered her head. She did not dare to look at Gu Ruochu. "We were cleaning the furniture outside this morning. I saw Mrs. Gu helping Miss Gu Li up the stairs when the Young Madam suddenly came down. The two of them were not close, but the Young Madam seemed to be in deep thought, so she bumped into Miss Gu Li. By the time we returned to our senses, Miss Gu Li was already lying in a pool of blood."
"Are you sure that you saw her clearly?" Mrs. Huo's voice was very cold.
"I saw her clearly. Everyone else was upstairs anyway. Besides the Young Madam, there was no one else."
Mrs. Huo was disappointed with what she heard.
Huang Meixiang immediately felt justified, and her voice became even more impassioned. "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? There were so many of them present, and they all saw Gu Ruochu push Lili!"
"So what if I heard it?" Mrs. Huo hated Huang Meixiang's vindicated look. "What do you want to do? Just say it."
