"Mr. Huo, you... you can't do this to me. I'm Ruochu's mother!" Zhou Yunxi's face was extremely pale, and she was completely flustered. She chased after Huo Nanchen, but she could no longer touch the corner of Huo Nanchen's clothes.
Zhou Yunxi did not dare to call Huo Nanchen by his name. She could only call him Mr. Huo. She was not used to the title, but she was now begging to save her place in the Huo family.
"You don't deserve the word "mother". She's my wife. Since you don't like my wife, I don't want to see you at my house either." Each word was cold and did not allow her to respond.
Zhou Yunxi was so scared that she reached to grab Mrs. Huo's hand. She wanted to apologize and beg for mercy, but she was blocked by a security guard. Mrs. Huo despised her.
"I... I don't dislike Ruochu. I gave birth to her. I was just afraid that she would do something wrong..." Zhou Yunxi was so anxious that she cried. She could no longer act arrogantly.
"Yes. You were afraid that I would do something wrong. You saw a woman wearing the same clothes as me kissing Huo Zijun, and you forced me to admit that I cheated on my husband. You refused to admit that you were sick in the head. I didn't do anything, but you still accused me of infidelity. Now that you've lost all your face, are you happy? Next time, remember to put a fig leaf on your face before you leave the house!"
Gu Ruochu's tone was full of mockery. She was delighted to see Gu Yanwei's face turn pale with fear. Everyone looked at Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei with even more disdain.
"No, I'm sick and I can't leave. Mr. Huo, you can't do this..."
No one paid any attention to her.
"Huo Nanchen, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."
Gu Ruochu felt uneasy. She did not know whether it was a physical or mental problem. If she had not been held so tightly against his body, she would probably have collapsed.
She knew that he was the only one she could rely on.
In the past, he had been cold-hearted and would not have paid any attention to her. But now, he had already helped her. As the crowd had observed, he was very protective of her.
"I'll take you away. You don't have to care about the others." His deep voice rang out from the side. It was so mellow and rich.
They seemed lost in their own world and did not seem to care about the crowd or their family members.
Gu Ruochu's psychological defense crumbled at that moment. A strange emotion was growing from the bottom of her heart and spreading.
Why did he always appear when she was at her most pathetic state? Even if they did not last long together, she would never forget this feeling that was similar to love.
How could Huo Nanchen not sense her current emotions? Maybe he felt that her current state did not reflect how she would behave in a normal situation. His originally cold eyes now had a tinge of emotion.
He reached out and stroked her eyes with his slender fingers.
Gu Ruochu instinctively closed her eyes.
Fortunately, she did not cry.
He reached out again and pressed Gu Ruochu's entire body against his chest.
Gu Yanwei was in extreme despair after seeing how things had developed to this point. Her eyes immediately turned red.
Huo Nanchen had ordered them to leave...
She had been ordered to move out in front of so many people. The great beauty, who had previously enjoyed boundless glory in the upper-class society, had now lost all her face.
Gu Yanwei could not help but look at Huo Nanchen, the man whom she had desired for such a long time. However, she saw a scene that hurt her even more. Huo Nanchen bent down and held Gu Ruochu in his arms. He was careful not to hurt her.
"Mother, I'll take her upstairs to rest."
Huo Nanchen did not care about other people's reactions. He only left behind a cold and long shadow.
