"All right, I understand. Be careful. We'll handle the new company. You can rest assured, " Rong Xiao said worriedly. After all, Gu Yanwei still had many allies.
"All right. " Gu Ruochu nodded. She then took out her car keys and left. She drove straight to the Huo residence.
"..."
At the Huo residence, Gu Yanwei sat on the sofa with a pale face. She cast nervous glances towards the entrance of the villa as she anxiously awaited Gu Ruochu's return.
She secretly looked at Mrs. Huo's gloomy face and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. This time, Gu Ruochu would not clear her name, even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
A wealthy family like the Huo family would never allow her to stay after such a scandal. Gu Ruochu was as stupid as she always had been. With a little trick, Gu Yanwei had trapped her and she could not escape.
"Aunt, Huo Zirui and I have long felt that Gu Ruochu is not worthy of the Huo family, much less my eldest brother. When you and grandfather insisted on letting her in, I didn't understand what had gotten into you Ever since she came into the Huo family home, she has repeatedly made a fool of herself. Now, she has cheated on big brother, hasn't she?" Huo Jingjing added fuel to the fire. "Maybe she's pregnant with someone else's bastard child!"
Mrs. Huo had always been annoyed by Huo Jingjing. She was now giving her a headache which caused her to raise her voice. "Gu Ruochu was originally appointed by your grandfather to marry into the Huo family. If you disagreed, why didn't you raise your concerns in front of your grandfather?"
Huo Jingjing choked and did not respond.
Even her father did not dare to go against the old man's wishes.
"Jingjing, don't bother Auntie Huo anymore." Gu Yanwei spoke slowly on the side and acted as the peacemaker. Huo Jingjing could not help but speak up again.
"Auntie, Sister Yanwei is much better than that Gu Ruochu. She's gentle and generous, unlike her sister who's full of schemes. I've always considered Yanwei as my sister-in-law."
"Jingjing!"
When Mrs. Huo saw Huo Jingjing acting so coquettishly, her eyes revealed a sense of helplessness. However, she looked at Gu Yanwei thoughtfully. Maybe Huo Jingjing was right.
Mother Zhang stood at the side and could not help but curse in her heart.
The Eldest Miss really thought too highly of herself. No matter who she wanted as her sister-in-law, Huo Nachen had the final say. She felt that Gu Yanwei was the scheming b* tch. How could the Young Madam be as scheming as her?
"The young Madam is back!"
The servants rushed in to report the news.
Mrs. Huo stood up abruptly but sank back into her seat with a dark expression on her face. She waited patiently for Gu Ruochu.
Gu Ruochu entered the room and immediately noticed Mrs. Huo's dark face. She already knew what was coming. Gu Yanwei had already slandered her to Mrs. Huo.
"Mother, I'm back."
"You still have the cheek to come back!" Mrs. Huo scoffed coldly and threw all the newspapers on the coffee table. "Look at all the news. You're quite capable. You've taken up all the headlines about the Huo family's scandals!"
When she saw that Mrs. Huo had lost her temper, Gu Yanwei quickly walked towards Gu Ruochu with a worried look on her face. "Gu Ruochu, why don't you apologize to Auntie Huo? As long as you stop interacting with that man, Auntie Huo will definitely forgive you. I've told you before, Auntie is so good to you and Nanchen is also outstanding. No matter how willful you are, you shouldn't do anything to let them down. You've really disappointed me!"
