Gu Ruochu stared coldly at the scene in front of her and did not move. Her black eyes were calm and filled with sarcasm.
"The usual symptoms of asthma are sneezing, runny nose, coughing, and chest tightness. Mother actually fainted on the spot. This is the first time I've heard of such an illness. Sister, do you really want me to embarrass you and mother in front of so many people?"
When the people present heard Gu Ruochu's explanation, they looked at Gu Yanwei and her mother suspiciously.
So this was all just an act?
Gu Yanwei's face turned red and she could find any words to counter her sister's argument. She couldn't keep her cool and she had insisted on competing with Gu Ruochu once more. In the end, she was humiliated again.
It was Gu Ruochu's resistance that caused her to lose her rationality. Now, all she wanted to do was hit Gu Ruochu hard.
Gu Ruochu could have turned a blind eye to Zhou Yunxi's act, but her sister liked to provoke her. Did she really think that she would be as obedient as before?
Zhou Yunxi did not have any more tricks up her sleeve to continue her stay in the Huo family.
She had now resorted to using desperate acts to avoid being kicked out of the Huo family home.
Zhou Yunxi lay still in Gu Yanwei's arms. Deep down, she wanted to strangle her wretched daughter.
Mrs. Huo observed keenly but she did not say a word. Finally, she instructed, "Aunt Yuan, take Mrs. Zhou upstairs to rest. Ask Dr. Tang to come over and check on her."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Huo's attitude made Zhou Yunxi gnash her teeth in anger. But she chose to endure it seeing that she had been on the verge of being kicked out of the Huo family home forever.
"Ruochu, come over here for a moment." This was the first time Mrs. Huo had called her over so gently. Her face lit up with a radiant smile. "I have an appointment to soak in the hot spring tomorrow. You should come with me."
This was the first time Mrs. Huo had asked her out. Gu Ruochu knew that her mother-in-law's heart was slowly leaning towards her.
She had planned a meeting with Rong Xiao on that day, but other than that, she had nothing else to do. It would be good for her to go out for a walk.
"All right, I'll make some preparations for tomorrow."
Mrs. Huo smiled as a dark light flashed in her eyes.
Early the next morning, Gu Ruochu packed her things and followed Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo had booked an appointment at a hot spring spa and resort in the city. It would take more than an hour to drive.
"Madam, look at how beautiful the Young Madam is. She's like a fairy who has descended from heaven." Nanny Zhang praised Gu Ruochu with a smile on her face. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"Isn't that right?" Mrs. Huo was also smiling from the side. She was now only realizing how special her daughter-in-law was.
Gu Ruochu did not know if it was an illusion. The way Mrs. Huo looked at her gave her goosebumps.
Soon, they arrived at the resort area. A staff member greeted them warmly.
"Mrs. Huo, Young Madam, welcome, welcome."
The hot spring was located in a serene area. The surrounding rocks were warm, and there were all kinds of fruits and flowers by the side. The service was very professional.
Gu Ruochu and Mrs. Huo soaked together, but there was a curtain separating them to avoid them feeling uncomfortable.
Watching the beautiful scenery and soaking in the hot spring was indeed very relaxing.
"Ruochu, get ready to soak here. I'll go pick up my sisters and come back."
"All right."
Gu Ruochu stretched lazily, changed into a swimsuit in the enclosed room, and went straight into the water.
After soaking for a while, she suddenly heard the sound of slow footsteps coming from outside the curtain.
Gu Ruochu's heart skipped a beat. Those were definitely not Mrs. Huo's footsteps.
Who could it be?
