Gu Li was happy when she saw Gu Ruochu being yelled at by Huo Zhenggang. She craved to see Huo Zhenggang punish Gu Ruochu on the spot. It was said that the Huo family was a military family, and Huo Zhenggang had always disciplined his children strictly.
It would be best if he beat her up until she was half dead!
However, when Gu Li saw that Huo Nanchen and Mrs. Huo were both defending Gu Ruochu, her heart was filled with disappointment.
"Huo Zhenggang, what are you doing?" Mrs. Huo's eyes were red. "If you want to convict her, you have to let Ruochu defend herself!"
"All right. I'll let her defend herself. If she doesn't convince me, I'll beat her to death!"
"Don't listen to him. I'll deal with it." Huo Nanchen pressed her body against his chest. Her vision was pitch-black, and she could not even hear what the people present were saying. However, she felt warm and at ease.
She knew that he would protect her, but she did not want Huo Nanchen to argue openly with his father.
"Nanchen, don't go against your father."
Gu Ruochu stared at Huo Zhenggang with a hint of mockery in her eyes. She then looked coldly at Gu Yanwei and said, "You've harmed my husband. You've been targeting me and setting me up. Haven't your sins caused enough damage?"
"I've done nothing of the sort!" Gu Yanwei was already full of self-righteousness. Her eyes were filled with a malicious look. "You've set up your husband and caused my cousin to lose her innocence. Aren't you also guilty? Besides, you don't love Huo Nanchen. You love Wang Xin!"
Up until now, Gu Yanwei still believed that Gu Ruochu had not gotten over her first love.
She was convinced that Gu Ruochu was still deeply in love with Wang Xin.
"Do you know who I love better than I do? You even wanted me to divorce Nanchen and be with Wang Xin!"
"See, you've said it yourself."
Gu Yanwei smiled smugly. However, in the eyes of the people present, she still looked like a caring big sister.
Gu Ruochu's expression did not change as she studied her calmly. "Gu Yanwei, tell me all the dirty things you've done behind my back and admit it. Perhaps, I'll show mercy. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what, you're a fickle woman, and you blame me for it? I think Uncle Huo has finally seen your disgusting character!"
Zhang Xuan saw that Gu Ruochu still dared to threaten her goddaughter, and she could not help but speak up. "Gu Ruochu, are you trying to force a confession? Do you want Yanwei to take the blame? You know that this matter has nothing to do with Yanwei, yet you still want to implicate an innocent person."
Gu Yanwei was not scared of Gu Ruochu's threats. After all, she had the Ning family's support, so Gu Ruochu wouldn't dare to do anything to her!
The more she thought about it, the more pleased she was with herself. Gu Yanwei felt untouchable.
Without warning, a cold object suddenly pressed against Gu Yanwei's forehead. Gu Yanwei had no time to react when Gu Ruochu closed the gap in front of her. She tilted her head and saw that her sister was holding a gun to her head. Gu Yanwei froze on the spot and began to tremble uncontrollably.
She then let out a miserable scream.
"Ah!"
"Gu Ruochu, what are you doing!"
Zhang Xuan looked at the dark muzzle of the gun and was so frightened that her legs turned to jelly. Huang Meixiang and Gu Li did not dare to move. This was the first time Gu Qiang had seen a real gun.
"Ruo... Ruochu, everything can be discussed. Everything can be discussed..."
Gu Qiang was truly afraid. If Gu Ruochu were to misfire, he would be the one hit by the stray bullet.
