"Ruochu, don't hold it against her. After all, she doesn't know that you're her daughter." Huo Nanchen looked at Gu Ruochu and carried her into the villa.
Mrs. Huo was a little confused after listening to the conversation.
'The target of the attack was Gu Ruochu?
'Zhang Yuan was behind the attack?
'Ruochu is Zhang Yuan's daughter?'
Mrs. Huo followed her son into the house with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Huo Nanchen placed Gu Ruochu on the sofa, and his hands touched her cold feet. His rough hands carried a burning warmth, and she felt even more relieved.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Huo looked at Li Tezhu in a perplexed manner. "How could Ruochu be Zhang Yuan's daughter?"
"It's a long story. We'll have to talk to Zhang Yuan first."
Huo Nanchen still had some questions he wanted to ask Zhang Yuan. Gu Ruochu grabbed his hand nervously and shook her head. "We're not going to talk to the Ning family. I don't want her to be my mother. She's too dangerous!"
Zhang Yuan was a lunatic. She was willing to kill her biological daughter.
After the shooting incident, Gu Ruochu did not want to let go of Huo Nanchen.
"Don't worry."
Huo Nanchen patted her shoulder and said gently, "As long as she doesn't know that you're her daughter, she will not stop attacking you. You must be mentally prepared."
"Mentally prepared for what? To acknowledge her as my mother?"
Gu Ruochu subconsciously let go of Huo Nanchen's hand. Would Zhang Yuan acknowledge her as her daughter if she hated her so much?
"That woman is too insane!"
After Li Tezhu explained everything to Mrs. Huo, she gazed at Gu Ruochu with a fond look in her eyes. She seemed to understand why the Old Man had wanted his grandson to marry Gu Ruochu.
Gu Ruochu leaned into Huo Nanchen's embrace. He hugged her even tighter. Fortunately, she had not been in the car at the time of the attack. Otherwise, he did not know what he would have done if she had been with him.
"Be good. I'll go and talk to Zhang Yuan."
"Be careful."
"..."
The news about the street shooting had spread quickly. Zhang Yuan had laughed coldly after hearing the news. A tall man suddenly rushed into the room. He had a few scars on his sinister face.
"You failed!"
"Yes. She was not in the car, and Huo Nanchen hid too quickly."
"Then why did you come to my place?" Zhang Yuan sneered at the man, "You are useless!"
"The police are after me!"
Zhang Yuan's expression changed, but at that moment, she heard a knock on the door.
"Hide in the closet!"
Zhang Yuan locked the closet and then walked towards the door elegantly. When she saw Huo Nanchen's figure, her heart skipped a beat, but she opened the door calmly.
"Why does Master Huo have time to come to my place?"
Huo Nanchen stepped on the doorsill. His black coat enhanced his gloomy aura.
Behind him, there were a few expressionless bodyguards. Zhang Yuan's heart started to race.
"What do you want?"
"Why is Madam Ning in such a panic?"
Zhang Yuan tried to conceal her fear. As an elder, she had no reason to be scared of Huo Nanchen. She turned around and closed the door. Her gaze fell on him. "If you're here to tell me about Cheng Xi, I have nothing to say to you. Since you promised to take care of Cheng Xi for the rest of your life, you shouldn't go back on your word."
Huo Nanchen sat down and threw a document on the table. "I want you to take a look at this."
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the document on the table.
Her body suddenly stiffened, and her voice trembled. "How... How did you know? Why do you have Ning Tangxi's and Ning Zongxuan's DNA reports?"
