Mrs. Huo came out of the ward after seeing the extent of the man's injuries. She took out her phone and dialed Huo Nanchen's number.
"I'm so angry!"
His phone went to voicemail. Gu Ruochu tried to calm her down. "Forget it! Let's go home."
Her heart was filled with frustration. Huo Nanchen was clearly avoiding them.
Mrs. Huo glanced at her daughter in law, but she did not say anything.
...
After a busy couple of months, the production team finally finished editing Wang Gang and Gu Ruochou's movie. They were all relieved. All they had to do now was to set a date for the movie's premiere.
Gu Ruochu naturally had to attend. Everyone in the production team would be there.
Many investors, producers, along with Wang Gang's other friends would attend. He had been in the industry for a long time and had made many connections.
He wanted to use the movie's premiere to catch up with his connections in the industry.
"Who will be you go with to the premiere?"
Jin Ye called Gu Ruochu just as she was trying to pick which gown she would wear to the event.
"Oh! I'll accompany Xinlan."
"All right. Will you drive yourself over or are we going to pick you up?" Jin Ye did not have any problem with Gu Ruochu choosing to accompany Chu Xinlan.
"I'll drive over. I'll be there in about an hour. Please inform Wang Gang."
"All right, be careful on the road. You should leave early if you want to avoid getting stuck in traffic."
Gu Ruochu hung up the phone, put on some light makeup, and left the house.
Wang Gang had invited people from all walks of life. Gu Ruochu and Chu Xinlan glanced around when they arrived and realized that some familiar faces had also attended the premiere.
Gu Ruochu's eyelids twitched. Zhang Yuan and Wang Xin had both attended the event. They all merrily interacted with the many guests that had arrived.
Wang Xin glanced at Gu Ruochu with an elegant and kind smile on his face. Gu Ruochu responded with a polite smile of her own.
However, Zhang Yuan glanced in Gu Ruochu's direction and ignored her. Of course, Gu Ruochu would not take the initiative to greet her.
"Ruochu, over here."
Wang Gang called out to Gu Ruochu. She and Chu Xinlan walked over with beaming smiles on their faces.
They pulled out the chairs next to him and sat down. There were many unfamiliar people around them. One of the guests was a blond-haired, blue-eyed American.
Many of the important guests had arrived. However, Wang Gang had not yet given his permission for the event to begin.
Gu Ruochu furrowed her brows. She did not know what he was waiting for.
"Come, have a drink."
Chu Xinlan poured a drink for Gu Ruochu, who smiled faintly and took it.
"Director Wang, who else did you invite to the banquet?" Gu Ruochu could no longer hide his curiosity. After all, it was already so late, but the food had not been served yet.
"Don't be anxious, drink!"
Wang Gang smiled as he raised his glass. The foreigner next to him spoke excitedly, "Director Wang, there so many beautiful women in your circle!"
It was standard Mandarin, so the foreigner did not sound out of place at all.
Chu Xinlan noticed that the foreigner was looking at Gu Ruochu. However, he did not seem frivolous. Instead, he had an admiring look in his eyes.
Wang Gang pretended not to understand the foreigner's meaning. "Our circle has always had many beautiful women. Joshua, you can feast your eyes on them today."
Zhang Yuan listened to their conversation quietly, and her gaze fell on Gu Ruochu.
She raised the ends of her eyes and smiled as she asked, "Miss Gu, why aren't you attending the party with President Huo? I heard that you two are quite a loving couple, and I expected him to accompany you to this wrap party."
Zhang Yuan felt that it was strange. After all, men were nothing more than visual animals.
