But how could they leave at this time? Wouldn't the Huo family bully her daughter? Huang Meixiang secretly looked at Gu Yanwei, who signaled for her to calm down.
"Since Auntie has spoken, I believe she will be fair," Gu Yanwei said, pretending to feel wronged. "I hope Auntie will handle this matter impartially. My cousin is still so young. You shouldn't let people think that the Huo family only knows how to bully others. Auntie, my cousin is a victim. Isn't it unfair to just send her away?
"True gold is not afraid of fire. If Auntie really believes in her son's innocence, shouldn't she have dealt with this matter openly in front of everyone?"
With so many people present, Mrs. Huo could not afford to be biased.
Gu Yanwei's hypocritical appearance made her seem as if she was in a weak position, but in reality, she was sinister and vicious. Gu Ruochu felt that her sister would only be satisfied after she completely destroyed her.
"Then what do you want?"
Mrs. Huo pondered for a moment. Her expression was extremely unsightly. They had taken advantage of the situation.
Soon, Huang Meixiang and Gu Qiang brought their weeping daughter to sit inside the Huo residence. The guests who had arrived for the banquet did not know whether to leave or not.
In the main hall of the room, the atmosphere between the two groups of people was tense.
Gu Yanwei was the first to stand up from the sofa. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. She looked at Gu Ruochu with a sense of justice.
"You used to be my most beloved sister. But now, you've allowed your husband to play with the feelings of other girls. Back then, when you treated me like this, I still swallowed my anger. If you want proof, I'll give it to you!"
Her last sentence was so powerful that the entire crowd burst into an uproar.
Seeing that she had everyone's attention, the smile in Gu Yanwei's face grew smugger. It flashed with a crazy light and coldness.
'Gu Ruochu, you've lost.'
Gu Ruochu's heart trembled. She met Gu Yanwei's dark and cold eyes and felt that her sister was completely mad.
The crowd could not help but gasp.
This scene was so chaotic!
"I believe in my husband," Gu Ruochu said, enunciating each word.
"Why did you interrupt? Did I allow you to interrupt? You have no manners at all! As expected, you're a piece of trash raised by a lowlife. A pheasant remains a pheasant and will never be a phoenix!" Huang Meixiang's curses were extremely unpleasant to the ears. She could not be more disdainful, and her manners immediately became clear to all.
"Nanchen is my husband. Am I not allowed to speak up for him?" Gu Ruochu raised her brows. "Have you forgotten my surname? I'm a lowlife? What about Gu Yanwei? What about Gu Li? Are they also pieces of trash?"
"I don't need you to criticize me!" Huang Meixiang's voice was sharp, and her tone was vile.
"That's right. You're taking advantage of your seniority and are disrespecting it!"
"Gu Ruochu!" Huang Meixiang was furious. However, she could not utter a single word of rebuttal as her entire body trembled with anger.
"Your husband has defiled my daughter, that's the truth! You said that you believe in Huo Nanchen, what evidence do you have to prove that your husband is innocent!"
"What evidence do you have to prove that he has defiled your precious daughter!"
"Cousin, I've let you down, but you can't insult me. If you continue to be so stubborn, I'll have no choice but to disregard our relationship." Gu Li looked at Gu Ruochu with a mocking gaze.
Gu Li's face was pale. She even staggered as she walked. Gu Ruochu had learned how to read facial expressions from Rong Xiao. It did not seem like Gu Li was lying or pretending.
Gu Ruochu suddenly had a bad feeling. What on earth was going on?
Her expression did not change, but she fell silent as she tried to figure out the situation.
