There was a tacit understanding between Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen. Neither of them forced the other, but both of them felt bad for each other.
Huo Nanchen did not chase after her. He could tell that Gu Ruochu was undoubtedly a little disappointed. She had also been looking forward to the wedding.
Nanny Zhang glared at the wet woman at the side. She was lucky to have made her visit when Mrs. Huo and the other family members were not around. Otherwise, Mrs. Huo would have chased her away.
"Young Master..."
"Go get her some clothes."
Huo Nanchen was in a terrible mood. He turned around and was about to go upstairs. Ning Tangxi could not stand the sight of him going after Gu Ruochu. She turned around and dashed towards the door, aiming to go back into the heavy rain.
"Young lady..."
Nanny Zhang called out after her. Huo Nanchen saw Ning Tangxi heading towards the door. He rushed towards her and grabbed her wrist.
"Ning Tangxi, if you want to continue living like this, then I'll do as you please. If you want your son to be alone, continue acting like this!"
Ning Tangxi had provoked Huo Nanchen's anger.
"Young Master..."
"Change her clothes and blow-dry her hair."
Gu Ruochu could see everything clearly from upstairs. Huo Nanchen had forgotten that his body was wet. Instead, he was worried about Ning Tangxi's hair and clothes.
Ning Tangxi would probably sleep at the Huo family's residence as well.
Ning Tangxi saw Gu Ruochu's gaze as she came down the stairs again. She did not know if Gu Ruochu was pitying her or ridiculing her, and tears fell from Ning Tangxi's eyes. "Gu Ruochu, I know that you must be very pleased with yourself right now. I can tell with just a glance that a person like you likes to see her enemies in pain."
Gu Ruochu signed, and her anger suddenly rose.
Unfortunately, she had been always been an outsider in the Huo family.
Gu Ruochu suppressed her anger after Ning Tangxi's verbal attack. "You've already said that you've only looked at me once. It's normal that you don't understand me.
"I do like to see my enemies in pain, but I don't like people like you who think that they're my enemies. I have nothing to do with you, to begin with. You act as if the whole world has let you down, and you came to my house to cause trouble. Now, it's my fault? How could you be so paranoid?"
Ning Tangxi was speechless.
Gu Ruochu believed that Ning Tangxi had overestimated herself. How could this woman think that she was her enemy? She did not even seem to have the qualifications.
"Cheng Xi got hurt because of your friend, Xu Yichen. I won't let him have it easy." Ning Tangxi was still trying to blame others for Cheng Xi's crippled arm. Gu Ruochu could tolerate her anymore.
"Who doesn't know that you're avoiding responsibility for your child's accident? As a mother, you did not care about your child's safety and went with him to the police station to absolve Zhou Yunxi of her crime. Whose fault was it that your child got hurt? Your son was in the hospital, and you still had the time to attend the Huo Corporation's banquet. Whose fault is it that he broke his arm? Do you still think you're the victim?"
Ning Tangxi was shocked and clenched her fingers tightly.
It was clearly her fault. However, she still believed that it was Xu Yichen's fault.
Ning Tangxi suddenly began to shake. She fell to the ground and twisted her body before making a hissing sound. The hissing sound she made frightened the servants. Even Gu Ruochu was stunned.
"Master, what's wrong with her?"
Ning Tangxi's entire body was twitching. She looked like a ghost, and her voice was shrill and annoying.
"Yue city! Yue city!
"Nanchen...
"Don't... Don't go..."
