Wang Gang did not stop her, and he asked his assistant to escort her out.
"Young Madam."
As she was about to step out of the door, Li Tezhu ran over and stopped her. "Young Madam, the president is waiting for you over there."
'Waiting for me?'
Gu Ruochu's gaze swept across the parking lot, and her eyes fell on the car which Li Tezhu had pointed at.
"Is An Duo inside?"
Li Tezhu was stunned. "Why would Miss An be inside? The president has been miserable ever since the two of you quarreled. He has been sleeping at the property in Binhai. It was Young Master An who had asked him to come today. Of course, Miss An followed them here."
It was not what she had thought. Huo Nanchen had not brought An Duo along so that he would mock her.
"Young Madam, the president is waiting for you."
Gu Ruochu felt that Huo Nanchen was pressuring her to reconcile with him. He was giving her a way out, and he expected her to take it.
Everything had to be done according to his wishes.
It was just like the situation with Cheng Xi.
Gu Ruochu saw a taxi approaching from afar and raised her hand to stop it. Under Li Tezhu's surprised gaze, she bowed and spoke to the driver. "Take me to Wansheng Road."
She turned to look at Li Tezhu. "Since he wants to wait for me, let him wait. I'm going back to the Huo residence. My mother-in-law is waiting for me."
Li Tezhu could see that Gu Ruochu was angry, and he sighed, "Madam, you just said that you didn't have a boyfriend, and that triggered President Huo. You should also know that there's no way he would have anything to do with An Duo."
"Why does everyone like to coax Huo Nanchen when he's provoked. Does that give him the right to make a fool out of others?" Gu Ruochu calmed herself down and continued coldly, "Huo Nanchen has been ignoring me all this time. He does whatever he wants when he's angry! He hasn't even come home for a week!"
She reached out to open the taxi door, but a hand grabbed her shoulder.
"Let go of me!"
"Why did you pretend not to know me a while back? You didn't even look at me when you told that foreigner that you didn't have a boyfriend? You don't?" Huo Nanchen stared at her face. "Am I not your man? When that foreigner confessed to you, you only found an excuse to avoid him, but you didn't tell him that you have another man."
Huo Nanchen's temper had flared up when Gu Ruochu told Joshua that she did not have a boyfriend.
What did she take him for? She really knew how to poke at his heart.
Huo Nachen furiously stared at her as he waited for an explanation.
However, Gu Ruochu sneered at him, "I don't have a boyfriend. Aren't you my husband? What kind of boyfriend are you?"
Her words were self-righteous. When Huo Nanchen heard them, he suddenly felt amused, and his originally gloomy mood disappeared. Gu Ruochu took the opportunity to shake off his hand and get into the taxi.
Seeing that the driver was setting the GPS, Gu Ruochu abruptly changed her mind. and decided that she did not want to go home right away. "Sir, let's take a detour, and you can charge me by the meter."
The driver was delighted. It was the first time he had driven such a generous customer.
He did not waste any more time and quickly started the car. He drove her slowly around the city, intending to increase the taxi fare as much as he possibly could.
Gu Ruochu was in deep thought when her phone suddenly rang. It was a strange number, and she paused before deciding to pick up the call.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Gu Ruochu?"
"Yes."
"Hello, I'm Ms. Zhou Yunxi's nurse. You're her daughter, right? Your mother has been calling your name and has refused to go to sleep. Can you come over for a moment?"
Ever since Zhou Yunxi had a mental breakdown, she had been in a trance and spent her time confined to a wheelchair in her apartment.
