"Every time I see President Huo and the Madam Huo's eyes meet, I feel like I'm going to believe in love again. Now, I realize that a man's sweet words cannot be trusted. They are like an ax singing to a tree. Therefore, sisters, I will never believe a man's word, no matter his status."
"It's such a pity about the director. She's a good person, and she has a lot of talent."
"..."
It was not the first time that Gu Ruochu had heard such unintentional comments. Her heart gradually grew colder as she thought about Huo Nanchen.
She took out her cell phone and tried to dial his number. However, she felt as if her phone was mocking her and laughing at her stubbornness.
Gu Ruochu had never expected that her marriage would be a topic of gossip and ridicule.
She was entangled with Huo Nanchen, and she did not know when their circumstances would get better.
Gu Ruochu clutched her chest and felt a sharp pain tear through her heart.
He had lied to her once again.
The rumors about the week that he had disappeared made her feel stupid.
Why was she still so naive? She had actually thought that Huo Nanchen had been sincere with her.
After being attacked by her enemies on countless occasions, Gu Ruochu felt tired, and she wanted to give up.
She stood in front of a mirror and looked at her face. After taking a deep breath, Gu Ruochu decided that she would not think about it anymore. Crying would not solve her problems.
She had to brace herself for the difficult trials that were yet to come.
As she looked at her face in the mirror, Gu Ruochu cried and laughed at the same time. The contortion of her beautiful features made her look ugly, and Gu Ruochu felt very embarrassed.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, Gu Ruochu finally regained her usual calm.
When she was finished with the day's filming, Uncle Wang did not come to pick her up. Instead, Li Tezhu pulled up outside the film's location. She subconsciously looked around, but there was no sign of Huo Nanchen.
Gu Ruochu was a little surprised by the sudden turn of events.
"Young Madam, the boss asked me to come and pick you up," Li Tezhu said respectfully. "Please get in the car."
"Okay."
Gu Ruochu got into the car and sat in the back seat.
Li Tezhu looked at the confused Gu Ruochu through the rearview mirror and smiled. "Recently, the boss has been busy with a lot of things. His phone has been switched off all day. You've also been very busy with filming and running your company."
Huo Nanchen had instructed Li Tezhu to put Gu Ruochu at ease and lighten her mood.
Gu Ruochu nodded and remained silent.
"Young Madam, if you have anything that you want to ask me, feel free to ask." Li Tezhu looked at her expression and sighed, "Some rumors cannot be trusted. You only need to believe that the boss is absolutely loyal to you. You may be hurt and sad about some things, but President Huo always does things for a reason."
It was the first time that Li Tezhu had spoken so openly about their relationship. However, Gu Ruochu did not react immediately. She took her time before she responded.
"Marriage is like drinking cold water and being aware of one's warmth." Gu Ruochu had a mocking smile on her face as she spoke the words slowly.
Li Tezhu did not know what to say to convince Gu Ruochu. He felt worried about his boss.
After news about Huo Nanchen and Ning Tangxi's accident spread, the city was once again rocked by a huge piece of news.
Madam Huo, who had been ridiculed by the public, had disowned her husband and unilaterally filed for divorce with the court. Her reasons for wanting the divorce were that the couple's relationship was broken and that her husband had moved out of the Huo family home.
The court had accepted the marriage lawsuit.
