Was Gu Ruochu venting out her frustrations because she was angry?
Lan Nuo felt a chill run down her spine but maintained the smile on her face. "In President Huo's eyes, I'm just an insignificant character. President Huo will only delay your matters for a while, so I won't mention it."
"Is that so? I thought you would help me stop him from leaving to go and see Miss Ning."
Lan Nuo finally understood what Gu Ruochu was implying. President Huo's wife thought that she was on Ning Tangxi's side, but in reality, she was just an employee and did not want to get involved in Huo Nanchen's personal affairs.
"I work for boss Huo. Of course, I only listen to him." Lan Nuo cursed in her heart. Huo Nanchen's wife was bullying him.
However, she still maintained her smile. "Don't worry. Xu Yichen is fine. President Huo is your man. He listens to you. I also listen to you indirectly."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
When Li Tezhu walked over towards them, Lan Nuo felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. He was more equipped to handle President Huo's woman.
Li Tezhu did not notice the ******* between the two. He only looked at Gu Ruochu.
"Madam, the driver is waiting for you downstairs."
"Okay."
Gu Ruochu went downstairs and quickly spotted Uncle Wang's car. She opened to door to the Huo Corporation and walked towards the car. After she entered the car, she took out the lady's wristwatch Xu Yichen had gifted her and looked at it for a long time.
In her past life, her father had raised her as a boy. However, she had always desired to have a gift that belonged to a girl.
She did not expect Xu Yichen to know about it. He had bought her a beautiful feminine wristwatch as a birthday present. However, she had "died" before her birthday.
"Young Madam, it's very cold. Should I close the car window?" Uncle Wang's words interrupted her train of thought.
"No need, just drive it down a little."
Uncle Wang did not say another word and focused all of his attention on the road. Gu Ruochu rested her hands on the car window and closed her eyes to rest.
She thought about her past life and all the birthdays she had celebrated over the years.
After finishing the day's work with Wang Gang, Gu Ruochu realized that her throat was a little sore as Wang Gang drove her home. She had caught a cold after being exposed to the cold wind that had been blowing through the car window.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Huo saw that Gu Ruochu was constantly sneezing during dinner. She furrowed her slender brows and asked, "Do you have a cold? The weather has been so cold recently. I'll call the doctor."
Gu Ruochu did not stop her. She was not feeling well.
She regretted ignoring Uncle Wang's advice and keeping the car window open during their drive. She was now unwell, and all she wanted to do was go to her bedroom and lie on the bed. Nanny Zhang touched her forehead and found that it was quite hot.
"Madam, I think it's better to take a thermometer and measure the Young Madam's temperature first. Her forehead is a little hot?"
"That's fine." When Mrs. Huo saw that Gu Ruochu was not feeling well, she asked a few servants to help her upstairs. "Ruochu, go upstairs and rest."
Gu Ruochu could feel her body temperature rising. She was tired, and her head felt dizzy and heavy.
In her daze, her phone suddenly rang. Gu Ruochu glanced at it and realized that it was Huo Nanchen. She ignored the call.
After he called her a second time, Gu Ruochu put her phone on silent mode and tossed it aside.
Mrs. Huo brought the doctor into the bedroom. When she saw Gu Ruochu's sickly state, she said, "Doctor, please help my daughter-in-law and lower her fever."
"Yes, Madam. You can rest assured that I'll do my best."
When the doctor took her temperature, the reading was above thirty-nine degrees celsius. Fortunately, the doctor had brought some medicine with him and quickly stabilized her.
Mrs. Huo sat on the bed and held Gu Ruochu in her arms. At that moment, Gu Ruochu felt the warmth of a mother.
Mrs. Huo's heart was troubled. She felt a sense of grief pass through her body.
