Huo Zirui had just shouted these words when the stool in front of him was suddenly kicked to the side by Huo Nanchen. His gloomy face was frightening.
The loud noise shocked Huo Zirui. For a moment, there was no sound at the dining table. Everyone was quiet and terrified.
Even Gu Ruochu was shocked. She didn't expect Huo Nanchen to lose his temper in front of his family.
"If you dare to tell her to get lost again, we'll see who will get lost."
Huo Nanchen could not hide his displeasure.
Gu Ruochu finally realized that he had restrained his anger towards her the previous day.
Huo Zirui did not say another word. He looked as meek as a lamb
He glanced at Gu Ruochu and headed upstairs. Huo Nanchen's temper was too difficult to deal with.
Lan Nuo had just arrived at the Huo family home. She was surprised to see Huo Nanchen's outburst. "Mrs. Huo, Young Madam, President Huo, I'm here."
"Mmm," Huo Nanchen acknowledged him lazily.
Mrs. Huo was not surprised by Huo Nanchen's reaction. Her son was much more restrained when he was around Gu Ruochu, which made Mrs. Huo feel gratified.
"Don't bother about that kid. He's always acting strangely."
Gu Ruochu nodded and stood up dispiritedly.
"I'm done eating. You can continue."
"Young Madam, don't you want to talk about my client, Miss Ning, and your friend?" Lan Nuo pleaded. Gu Ruochu turned around and said, "Wait for me."
Lan Nuo smiled and nodded. Ning Tangxi had insisted that Xu Yichen be prosecuted and handed a heavy sentence. Lan Nuo knew that Gu Ruochu was willing to do anything to protect her friend. However, she did not know what Huo Nanchen's decision would be.
Lan Nuo smiled to herself. The case she was handling was both interesting and complicated.
As Gu Ruochu went upstairs, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello, this is Ning Tangxi."
"Miss Ning, is something the matter?"
Ning Tangxi's voice carried a faint smile. "Ruochu, please allow me to call you Ruochu. Since you know that there is nothing between me and Nanchen, why would you make things difficult for me? Do you really care that much about the existence of my child?"
"Ning Tangxi, I thought I made things clear to you last time. Since you insist that I care about you and the child, you should do as you please. I still have something to attend to, so I'll hang up."
Gu Ruochu looked at her phone, and her expression turned dark. She went into the bedroom and changed into a new set of clothes before returning downstairs.
Ning Tangxi was taking herself too seriously. However, she had a little more influence than Gu Yanwei.
Old Lady Huo had been sitting on the sofa. She watched as Gu Ruochu came down the stairs and warmly beckoned her over. She then held Gu Ruochu's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so skinny? Did Nanchen mistreat you? You can tell your grandma."
Old Lady Huo's hands were soft.
Gu Ruochu hugged her and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, he always likes to bully me, so I've lost some weight."
"He bullied you?" Old Madam Huo pretended to snort. "Tell me how he bullied you, and I'll bully him back."
"He's always sulking. His dark face is scary."
Huo Nanchen paused and turned to look at her. It was rare to see her acting so coquettishly, and everyone's mood at the table lightened up.
When she heard her Gu Ruochu's complaint, Old Lady Huo picked up an apple on the table and threw it at Huo Nanchen. She did not lose her momentum. "Okay, let grandma help you bully him back."
Huo Nanchen dodged the apple. Seeing this, Old Lady Huo picked up another apple and threw it at him. "You unfilial grandson! How dare you dodge!"
