At that moment, Gu Ruochu felt at ease. At least Huo Nanchen had been on her side.
It didn't matter if her biological parents were biased against her. She was married, and she did have to deal with them.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden?"Gu Ruochu looked at Huo Nanchen's calm face and smiled faintly. "Didn't you say you were at the company? I thought you wouldn't come back until late into the night."
Huo Nanchen lowered his head and looked at Gu Ruochu's face. He stared at her with a deep gaze and said slowly, "Madam Ning brought Ning Tangxi with her to visit you. I knew that things would not end well."
Gu Ruochu could not help but laugh. "Huo Nanchen, I'm really tired."
Huo Nanchen stared at Gu Ruochu's beautiful face and smiled at her.
"If you're tired, rest well."
Huo Nanchen understood that Gu Ruochu was tired after dealing with Zhang Yuan and Ning Tangxi.
"You can go out first. I'm going to sleep for a while." Gu Ruochu tugged at his clothes. After a long while, Huo Nanchen kissed her forehead and got out of bed. "Sleep well."
When Ning Tangxi returned home, she still could not believe what had happened at the Huo family home. Huo Nanchen had taken Gu Ruochu's side. Did it mean that he would not fulfill his oath?
"Mrs. Ning, Miss Ning."
"Here, take care of Cheng Xi." Ning Tangxi's face was gloomy as she handed the child over to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper noticed that the mother and daughter had entered the house in a daze. She took Cheng Xi from Ning Tangxi's arms and did not say a word. Ning Zongxuan came down from upstairs and saw his sister's figure on the sofa. "How was it? Did Gu Ruochu tell you where that criminal is hiding?"
"How can you speak like that? What do you mean by Gu Ruochu? That's your sister!" Zhang Yuan was provoked by Ning Zongxuan's contemptuous tone. "Why are you so disobedient? I think that you will only be satisfied if you anger me to death!"
Ning Zongxuan would not admit that Gu Ruochu was his sister. He knew that she had the blood of the Ning family flowing through her veins and it reminded him of the fact that he was an imposter.
Just as he was about to retort, they all heard a commotion at the door.
"What are you doing?" The housekeeper's panicked voice rang out. Zhang Yuan subconsciously ran out and saw a group of men in black snatching Cheng Xi away from the housekeeper's hands.
Cheng Xi was frightened. He was huddled in the bodyguard's arms fearfully and did not cry or make a fuss.
"Mother!" Ning Tangxi held Zhang Yuan's hand as she sobbed. "Cheng Xi is in their hands."
"Stop!" Zhang Yuan roared. "Who are you? How dare you kidnap a member of the Ning family! Someone call the police!"
"Mrs. Ning, long time no see." Li Tezhu stood in front of the bodyguards and tried to be respectful. "I'm here to pick up Cheng Xi and bring him back to the Huo family. Please forgive me if I've been rude."
"You're Huo Nanchen's man!" Zhang Yuan's eyes were sharper, and her heart skipped a beat. "Why did he ask you to come? What's the meaning of snatching Cheng Xi?"
"Madam, I've made it very clear. I'm here to take the Young Master back to the Huo family." Li Tezhu was still as polite as ever. "Cheng Xi has suffered a lot of injuries recently. Miss Ning has proved that she cannot take care of him, so President Huo specifically asked me to come and pick up the child. After all, he is Cheng Xi's dad."
Li Tezhu signaled to the bodyguard, and he carried Cheng Xi towards the car.
Ning Tangxi had not anticipated that Huo Nanchen would take away her son. She rushed forward anxiously and wanted to snatch the child away. "Give Cheng Xi to me! Give Cheng Xi back to me..."
One of the bodyguards restrained her, and she could not reach her son. Cheng Xi cried silently and stretched out his hand towards his mother. "Mommy! Mommy..."
