Seeing that Zhou Yunxi had finally been persuaded, Gu Yanwei quickly followed behind, afraid that Mrs. Huo would miss out on such an exciting scene.
However, when she thought of Huo Zijun's abilities, Gu Yanwei felt relieved. As long as Gu Ruochu took the bait, she would not escape from his grasp.
She took one last look at the couple entangled under the tree. At first, the woman had pushed and shoved with all her might, but in the end, she seemed to have been coerced and could only helplessly cling to the man.
Seeing this, Gu Yanwei's lips curled into a cold smile. Her heart began to throb violently. She could not wait for everyone to see the scene and her footsteps became even more urgent.
Mrs. Huo was still chatting with an important guest. When she saw Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei rushing over. Gu Yanwei's expression was extremely unsightly. She looked as if she was in shock.
"What's going on?"
"Aunt Huo, where's Ruochu? " Mrs. Huo was stunned when Gu Yanwei mentioned Gu Ruochu. She subconsciously looked around and realized that Gu Ruochu was not in the room.
This was strange. She had just seen her. How could she have disappeared in such a short period of time?
"She's probably resting somewhere. It's nothing much."
As soon as Mrs. Huo finished speaking, she noticed that Gu Yanwei's expression had become more obvious. She was biting her lip and didn't say a word. She grabbed onto the corner of Zhou Yunxi's shirt in fear.
Mrs. Huo could tell that something was wrong.
"What happened?"
Her stern voice rang out from the side. Gu Yanwei's body trembled. It was as if she was truly frightened.
"Nothing much. I just thought I heard Ruochu's voice from the East Garden. I thought something had happened and I went to look for her with my mother. But it was too dark, so we came to see if she was here..."
Huo Jingjing said casually, "Why did Second Brother disappear? He was just here. Why isn't sister-in-law around and Second Brother gone..."
When she heard that Huo Zijun wasn't around, Mrs. Huo's heart was on alert. Her son had always liked to cause trouble. What if this kid was extremely audacious...
After hearing Gu Yanwei's explanation, Mrs. Huo thought to herself. She then walked over to the guests and said a few words apologetically.
After nodding, Mrs. Huo turned around and looked at Gu Yanwei. "Take me there first."
"This..."
Gu Yanwei's hesitant expression gave Mrs. Huo a bad premonition.
"You little girl, hurry up and leave." Zhou Yunxi saw that her daughter was still hesitating, so she pulled her daughter aside and walked towards the East Garden.
When Zhou Yunxi pulled her away, Gu Yanwei's eyes flashed with a hint of malice.
Huo Jingjing naturally followed her. She wanted to see Gu Ruochu's sorry state with her own eyes, as well as to add more fuel to the fire.
The few women arrived at the East Garden. Gu Yanwei anxiously glanced over and realized that the man and woman were still passionately kissing under the tree. She finally put her heart at ease.
Under the dim moonlight and the lights, everything in front of her was so clear and bright.
As they got closer, Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei widened their eyes as they stared at the woman who was passionately kissing the man.
From afar, their figures were almost the same, especially the gown she had been wearing. Gu Yanwei had personally seen Gu Ruochu buy it at the store.
"Ruochu, why is she..." Gu Yanwei's face drained its color as she turned to look at Mrs. Huo. Her expression had turned extremely ugly.
