Liu Feishi had managed to set up Gu Ruochu and attract the attention of the crowd. Everyone looked over and their eyes once again focused on her, discussing endlessly.
"Liu Feishi, stop putting on an act. You're too shameless!" Yang Xi rushed forward and scolded her. Yang Chen was unable to pull her back, so he helplessly held his forehead.
Deng Tingting helped Liu Feishi to her feet. She just stood there with a stubborn look on her face. She didn't argue with Yang Xi. Instead, it looked like Yang Xi was being aggressive.
Liu Feishi's chest seemed to have been splashed with alcohol. The onlookers suddenly had the intention to be gentle with her.
These rich men also liked to objectify women. This scene was equivalent to a tigress bullying her little lover.
Even if Huo Nanchen did not have any feelings for Liu Feishi, it would not be good if news spread that Mrs. Huo had made things difficult for a popular celebrity.
It was said that Huo Nanchen did not like this wife at all. She had now dared to cause trouble at the party. Many wondered where she had gotten such courage.
Across the room, a young woman was attracted by the screams and looked over. It turned out that it was her friend, Liu Feishi, who had been slapped by Madam Huo.
Liu Feishi was her friend and they had attended all sorts of banquets together. The two of them got along very well.
Gu Li was stunned when she saw Gu Ruochu's face.
She had been so focused on Huo Nanchen when he had entered the room. She had subconsciously ignored the woman beside him. Now that she had taken a closer look, she noticed that the woman's face was so familiar...
"Father, look!" Gu Li tugged at the man beside her and cried out involuntarily. "Look, isn't that Gu Ruochu?"
"What Gu Ruochu?" The middle-aged man beside her could not react in time. He was drinking and chatting with a few wealthy businessmen beside him and was a little impatient.
"It's Eldest Uncle's second daughter, Gu Ruochu!"
Gu Li was speechless at her father's slow reaction. Eldest Uncle had owed a huge debt from gambling and some local hooligans had gone knocking on his door to ask for the money. Her family had severed all ties with that family, afraid that the hooligans would come knocking on their door to collect the debt.
Later on, her uncle abandoned his family and ran away. They did not want to provoke their unlucky relatives and they avoided visiting Zhou Yunxi and her daughters.
Later on, they heard that Zhou Yunxi had sold her daughter to pay off her gambling debt.
At the time, Gu Li was sympathetic towards her cousin and felt that Zhou Yunxi must have sold her to some lecherous old man.
But what was happening now?
Gu Ruochu seemed to be standing next to Huo Nanchen. Could it be that Zhou Yunxi had sold Gu Ruochu to Huo Nanchen! Gu Li found it hard to believe. How could this be possible?
"It's her?" Gu Qiang clearly remembered his niece. He carefully examined her again and was shocked. "How did this girl suddenly become Madam Huo?"
He had earned some money from his business years ago and was now a wealthy businessman in Nan Cheng.
When Gu Ruochu and her mother had nowhere else to go, he had humiliated them in public. Who would have thought that this girl would turn out to be such a powerful person in Nan Cheng!
'It's over. She won't come to take revenge on the Gu family, will she?'
"Who knows about her!"
Gu Li's face was livid. "What Madam Huo? She just sold herself into the Huo family. How could Mr. Huo marry such a woman? She must be a plaything raised by his side!"
"I think so too." Gu Qiang pondered for a while. He did not believe that Huo Nanchen would really marry such a mediocre woman. The rumors about their relationship must have been true.
Before Gu Qiang could recover from his shock, he saw his daughter walking up to support Liu Feishi. "Feishi, are you okay?"
