As they made their way to the hospital, Gu Ruochu had tried to think about what she would say to Huo Nanchen when she saw him. She was disappointed when she heard that he had already left the hospital.
"That stinky brat needs to be disciplined! He is too old to be fighting others!" Mrs. Huo was annoyed before she remembered to ask, "How is the injured party doing?"
"The doctor is still putting a cast on his broken arm." Lu Fang looked at Gu Ruochu as if she was the cause of the man's broken arm.
It had been a long time since Mrs. Huo had seen Huo Nanchen exhibit such a violent side to him. Her son had harmed an innocent person after a small squabble.
Mrs. Huo beckoned at her daughter-in-law.
"Ruochu, come here for a moment."
Lu Fang had a devious smile on his face. Gu Ruochu glanced at him before walking over.
"Ruochu, I want to know what happened between the two of you that caused Huo Nanchen to act so foolishly. I'm just curious."
"We had a fight."
Gu Ruochu tried to think of the appropriate words that could help her explain what had happened.
Lu Fang looked at her and asked tentatively, "Even if you had a fight, it shouldn't deteriorate into this. Your relationship has never been normal. I know there are a lot of problems.
"However, Huo Nanchen has always accommodated you despite his bad temper. To be honest, when someone makes him angry, he only punishes them so that they don't get out of control. He has never lost his cool and turned into a great devil like he did last night.
"So I want to know, how did you provoke him? '
People in the high-class society had always practiced the facade of self-restraint and elegance. After all, in their kind of life, the easier it was for one's emotions to get out of control, the more vulnerable one would be to an opponent.
Lu Fang sympathized with the unlucky guy who Huo Nanchen had beaten up. He had never seen anyone absorb such a brutal beating before.
Gu Ruochu was irritated when she heard Lu Fang's words.
"Am I the bad guy here? Are you saying that I did this?"
Gu Ruochu felt that she was not responsible for Huo Nanchen's actions.
Lan Nuo shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
Lu Fang coughed lightly and smiled. "It's not that you're the bad guy, but that you're very capable. Ruochu, you must not underestimate your position in his heart. Remember to be gentle the next time you see him. If you coax him, he'll be fine. If you know that he's sick, then let him be. Don't be calculative with him. You know that he has a nasty temper."
Lan Nuo humbly tried to persuade her.
Gu Ruochu nodded and fell silent.
She remembered that Huo Nanchen had always struggled with his insomnia.
"Speaking of which, I want to know what exactly did you do to make him act like this?"
"Oh! I... I slapped him."
Lu Fang opened his mouth so wide that and egg could fit in. "What did you say? You slapped him?"
"Yes."
"You're f*ucking awesome!" Lu Fang blurted out the first words out that came to his mind. No one had ever dared to slap Huo Nanchen!
He had always been pampered and loved. His life had been smooth sailing. Gu Ruochu was the first person that Huo Nanchen had faced who had challenged his arrogant personality.
Gu Ruochu fell silent and did not say another word.
She did not have any reasonable explanation for slapping him. Her mind had gone blank, and before she knew it, her palm had hit his cheek.
"Then I can't interfere in your affairs. I can't interfere at all." Lu Fang gazed at and was surprised that she had no injuries.
If an ordinary person had slapped Huo Nanchen, wouldn't they have been strangled to death?
