Gu Yanwei's heart skipped a beat. She instantly understood the power of Gu Ruochu's words.
"I was the one who asked Yanwei to visit the Huo family frequently. Do you have any objections?" Mrs. Huo defended Gu Yanwei. The others chimed in and no one mocked Gu Yanwei anymore.
In their eyes, Gu Ruochu was like an old and decrepit woman, while Gu Yanwei was like a young, beautiful, and capable little vixen.
There was nothing they could do about it. With Gu Yanwei as a foil, Gu Ruochu was even lower than mud.
Gu Ruochu did not say a word. It was clear that the Huo family did not like her.
She had been in the hospital for so long after her car accident, yet no one had come to see her. If she did not like her daughter-in-law, then why did she allow her to get married into the family? Did the Huo family have a dark secret?
Mrs. Huo noticed that Gu Ruochu did not say a word, but there was a meaningful smile in her eyes. Why did it feel like her personality had changed drastically after her car accident?
Just as she thought about this, she heard footsteps at the door.
"Nanchen. You're back!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Mrs. Huo's initially stiff and cold face. She stepped forward towards Nanchen. "You're back? I'll get Auntie to make you something for lunch."
"No need."
Gu Ruochu turned around towards the man who had just come in.
He reached out and casually tugged at his collar and tie. His collar was slightly open and he draped his coat over his elbow. His eyes were focused as they slowly moved around.
His features were like a painting, exquisite and elegant.
The eye-catching part was that there was a mole at the corner of his eye. It was surprisingly very beautiful on his face, adding an extra layer of coldness to it. His silhouette seemed to be of mixed blood.
This was Huo Nanchen. Her husband...
Gu Yanwei had a gentle smile on her face as she spoke in a natural and easy-going manner. "Master Huo, I've already asked my secretary to prepare your things. I'll show them to you later."
"All right." Huo Nanchen handed his coat to the servant and walked upstairs.
"What's the matter?" Huo Nanchen raised his eyes and saw Gu Ruochu standing in front of him. He furrowed his brows in displeasure.
His wife was timid and hated him every time he got close to her. Despite paying off the Gu family's gambling debts, there was no love between the two of them when they got married.
Gu Ruochu crossed her arms and carefully scrutinized her "husband". She had just been discharged from the hospital and Huo Nanchen did not even say a word to console her. He did not even look at his wife.
This feeling was really unpleasant.
When she was Bai Qi, she got a lot of attention because of her hair-raising handsome face. What was this man so proud of?
She was not convinced by this sense of indifference.
"Do you still recognize me, Mr. Huo?"
"Get to the point."
A faint smile appeared on Gu Ruochu's face. She suddenly approached him, step by step. However, Huo Nanchen did not push her away. His deep, dark eyes drew closer and closer.
Gu Ruochu was just one step away from touching him when she stopped.
"I will make you remember me, even more deeply. From your body, to your heart, you must remember me!"
Nobody had ever dared to address Master Seven in this manner before.
Mrs. Huo found this scene unbelievable. From her point of view, Gu Ruochu appeared to be leaning against her son's body, giving off an ambiguous aura.
At first, Madam Huo did not have a bad impression of Gu Ruochu. However, when she saw how cold Gu Ruochu was towards her son, she felt unhappy.
Had this Gu Ruochu changed her personality?
Gu Yanwei could not believe it. Her fingers almost dug into her palm.
Of course, Gu Ruochu noticed that Gu Yanwei's emotions were changing. The corners of her lips slowly lifted into a smile, perfectly concealing her coldness. She was a perfect masquerade.
