The situation had now changed, and everyone was carefully comprehending Gu Yanwei's revelation.
The Young Master had not touched Gu Li.
Nor was it the Young Madam who had plotted against her husband. All of this was a self-directed act by Gu Yanwei, and she had even slandered her sister!
Gu Yanwei's hatred towards her sister knew no bounds.
Huang Meixiang's mouth was wide open. She was shocked and disappointed at the same time.
How could this be?
"Chairman Ning, Madam Ning, your goddaughter has personally admitted to this." Gu Ruochu lowered the gun. "Your use of the word innocent to describe her makes me laugh!"
"This woman is vicious. How did I ever think that she was good! Isn't she afraid of retribution?" Mrs. Huo felt a lingering fear. In the past, she had even tried to set Gu Yanwei up with Nanchen.
Gu Yanwei continued to sob uncontrollably. Her mournful cries had caused the others to pity her. However, when they thought about how she had plotted against Huo Nanchen and slandered Gu Ruochu, they trembled at her scheming.
Ning Tang's expression was a little gloomy, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he tried to think of an explanation to defend Gu Yanwei.
After listening to Gu Yanwei's confession, Zhang Yuan recalled that she had asked for the contact information of a famous video editor. Gu Yanwei had said that she was just a big fan.
Zhang Yuan doted on Gu Yanwei so much that she wanted to pluck the moon from the sky and give it to her. Naturally, she would give her anything she asked.
Gu Yanwei's face was as pale as death. If it weren't for Zhang Yuan supporting her, she would have collapsed on the ground.
"That's not all she did." Huo Nanchen took the gun from Gu Ruochu and casually threw it to the side. His face was still cold, and he walked steadily towards Gu Yanwei. "Today, let's settle the score."
His voice was as noble and elegant as ever, but it had become incomparably terrifying in Gu Yanwei's ears. She cowardly hid behind Zhang Yuan.
"You've harmed my wife and smeared my name. Do you think that you won't pay the price?" Huo Nanchen spoke slowly. His powerful aura was so oppressive that Gu Yanwei could hardly breathe.
Zhang Yuan could not take it any longer and said, "This matter is indeed Yanwei's fault. However, Yanwei is still a very young girl. She's still immature. Nanchen, can't you forgive her for my sake this once? I promise there won't be a next time."
Huo Zhenggang looked at Gu Ruochu and softened his tone. "It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. I admit that I've wronged, but Yanwei is Chairman Ning's god-daughter and your sister. There's no need for you to be so vengeful."
If Gu Ruochu was willing to let Gu Yanwei off the hook, Ning Tang would owe the Huo family a favor.
Besides, Huo Zhenggang did not want to make the relationship between the two families too awkward.
'Forgive Gu Yanwei?' Gu Ruochu felt that Zhang Xuan was asking too much of them.
She had used such insulting words to insult her and had accused her of having an affair with Wang Xin. She had forgiven Gu Yanwei many times in the past, but she had still tried to harm her time and time again.
If she hadn't turned the tables on her sister every single time, Gu Ruochu would have suffered a lot of pain.
Huo Zhenggang's words, in particular, made Gu Ruochu realize how small and pitiful she was in their eyes.
"Next time?"
Huo Nanchen repeated Zhang Yuan's words, but his tone was as cold as ice. "There won't be a next time. I won't let my wife suffer the slightest grievance. All of you are protecting Gu Yanwei, but there's only one person I want to protect.
"Gu Yanwei, it's time for you to pay the price you deserve."
Gu Yanwei felt a pain in her hair as he dragged her towards the door. She felt as if her scalp was about to be ripped off. "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Yanwei fell heavily to the ground. She felt an intense and sharp pain all over her body. His leather shoes crushed her hand. Gu Yanwei's scream made everyone's heart jump.
They did not doubt that Huo Nanchen was about to kill Gu Yanwei.
