Xie Xuemei was originally in a good mood. However, when she saw Gu Ruochu, her exquisitely made-up face instantly darkened. She clicked her tongue and said, "Gu Ruochu, is it you? Our Wang Xin is about to get married, and you're still pestering him? You're really shameless!"
Gu Ruochu had almost charmed her son into a frenzy.
Xie Xuemei assumed that she was just greedy and was after the Wang family's money and power.
Gu Ruochu furrowed her brows when she heard such abusive words. Judging from her posture and age, this was definitely Wang Xin's mother.
The Wang family was a wealthy, distinguished family. She never thought that this woman, who looked like the lady of the household, would utter such uncouth words.
Gu Ruochu had no interest in dealing with this kind of woman.
"Auntie, Ruochu is only here for the wedding. Don't use such harsh words." Zhu Li could not stand it any longer and tactfully reminded Xie Xuemei.
"Zhu Li, don't be fooled by this woman. Do you think that she's only here for the wedding? This woman is very scheming. She might be planning to ruin the wedding and use this opportunity to gain sympathy so that my son will soften his heart and get back together with her!" Xie Xuemei believed that Gu Ruochu still had feelings for her son. Her son was outstanding, and he was considered one of the top figures in the city.
Wang Xi had told her all about Gu Ruochu's new life. She now used her face to seduce old men who had families. It was good that she had managed to stop her son from dating this woman.
Zhu Li was stunned.
Her expression suddenly turned into disbelief. She never thought that Xie Xuemei would have such naive thoughts. With Gu Ruochu's current status, Wang Xin could not even touch one of her fingers.
Now that she had an outstanding man who was of noble status, how could Gu Ruochu fancy her ex?
Zhu Li wanted to kindly remind Xie Xuemei about Gu Ruochu's marriage. However, it did not seem to be a good idea at that moment. She looked at Gu Ruochu awkwardly.
Wang Xin, on the other hand, deliberately remained silent. In his heart, he tacitly agreed with his mother's thoughts.
This Gu Ruochu was different from the one he had known in the past.
Perhaps it was because women relied on their clothes to make themselves look good. Gu Ruochu's expensive dress accentuated her socialite aura.
Her luxurious bracelet and the jewelry on her body reflected a faint luster, making her look elegant.
Wasn't she putting in so much effort to dress herself up for him to see?
Indeed, she had impressed him with her outfit.
In reality, Wang Xin was indeed narcissistic. Before she married into the Huo family, Gu Ruochu had always dressed up solemnly regardless of the event she attended.
Liu Mengyu had been chatting with the bride and was trying to curry favor with her. When she stepped out, she happened to see Gu Ruochu, who was dressed to the nines. A wave of jealousy rose from the bottom of her heart.
It was only after the class reunion that she found out that Gu Ruochu was Madam Huo.
How had Gu Ruochu managed to marry Huo Nanchen? She would never have managed to get close to him, even in her dreams.
He was like the moon in the sky, unattainable.
"Oh, isn't that Gu Ruochu? How dare you come?" Liu Mengyu was still fuming from her humiliation at the class reunion.
She exploded the moment she saw her.
"There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do." Gu Ruochu's expression remained calm as she glanced sideways at Liu Mengyu. "On the other hand, what has made you carry out a preemptive strike?"
