"I'm fine." Liu Feishi seemed to be on the verge of collapsing as she grabbed Gu Li's hand in shock.
Gu Li looked at Gu Ruochu with disdain. "What kind of person are you? How can you hit someone?"
Liu Feishi thought that Gu Ruochu would argue so she had already planned how she would retaliate. Instead, Gu Ruochu raised her brows and admitted with a cold smile, "So what if I hit her? Do I still need to pick a date?"
Yang Xi was so happy that she almost clapped when she heard this.
Gu Li was flustered by Gu Ruochu's attitude.
"Young Madam, Miss Liu is my guest. You must have an explanation for hitting her, right?"
Deng Tingting did not know what Gu Ruochu was so proud of. She had not even managed to seduce her own husband's heart, yet she still had the cheek to show off in front of them!
Anyway, the couple did not get along and Huo Nanchen would most likely ignore her. Gu Ruochu had gotten cocky before he even had the chance to pamper her.
This world was cruel. Only those with power and influence could rule.
Without Huo Nanchen, Gu Ruochu would be as lowly as dust.
Most of the guests around were men. After witnessing the scene, they began to gloat and discuss among themselves.
"Assaulting someone else's guest on such a big occasion, this is such a bad look."
"Mr. Huo doesn't even like her. What right does she have to be spoiled and arrogant? Based on her behavior, she can't be compared to a big celebrity like Liu. She thinks she's great but who knows, maybe one day Huo Nanchen will abandon her!"
"She's just as jealous as my yellow-faced granny. She doesn't even know what she's capable of. If I'm not happy, she won't have a good life!"
...
Gu Ruochu ignored the trashy men's comments.
Liu Feishi's eyes filled with pride when she saw that everyone was on her side. When Gu Li saw this, she was even more certain that Gu Ruochu was just Huo Nanchen's plaything and he did not care about her at all.
She casually picked up a glass of red wine and poured it towards Gu Ruochu.
Gu Ruochu had quickly noticed her intentions. When she Gu Li splashed the wine towards her, Gu Ruochu turned to hid behind Mrs. Chen and Deng Tingting. The red wine splattered all over Deng Tingting's body.
She let out a muffled scream and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her body.
Deng Tingting's dress was wet and her curves were exposed in front of the crowd. She drew lewd gazes from the men. De Tingting was so angry that her face turned red. She blamed Gu Ruochu for the embarrassment.
'Hmph, let's wait until they send Liu Feishi to Huo Nanchen's bed and see how she behaves!'
"Gu Ruochu, how dare you hide!" Gu Li's expression was ferocious. In her deluded opinion, she could splash Gu Ruochu, but Gu Ruochu had no right to hide and protect herself.
"Why don't you try splashing someone else? Let's see who won't hide! Who's the retard who won't hide! Why are you asking such a stupid question?" Gu Ruochu did not recognize this woman. Gu Li had appeared out of nowhere but she did not seem afraid to criticize Gu Ruochu.
"This woman's behavior is a disgrace to Huo Shao!"
A woman who was enjoying the spectacle echoed from the side. However, she looked around cautiously, afraid that Huo Nanchen would appear and hear her.
"That's right, she's just a plaything! Why don't you take a look at yourself? What's the use of just being pretty? Huo Nanchen still doesn't like her!"
Gu Li was even more confident when she heard that someone had echoed her thoughts. Her heart warmed. "Gu Ruochu, you b*tch, do you really think that you can fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix just because you've hooked up with Mr. Huo!"
The people around them were happy to watch the show. Huo Nanchen did not like this woman anyway, so he wouldn't have the mood to bother with the Young Madam.
