An Duo felt as if her punch had landed on a piece of cotton. When she saw the relaxed smile on Gu Ruochu's lips, she felt as if she was being mocked.
Thinking about this made her even angrier.
"My sister-in-law does not have a guilty conscience. Perhaps she has been kept in the dark until now," Huo Zirui suddenly interjected. "Don't you think so, sister-in-law?"
"Is that so?" An Duo deliberately glanced at Gu Ruochu and asked in confusion. "Is there such a thing as an innocent girl in this world? I think many people play dumb."
Gu Ruochu had to know about Ning Tangxi's existence. However, girls like her, who come from ordinary families, were very calculative. They would never make things difficult for their husbands.
However, time was running out for Gu Ruochu.
An Duo was excited and expectant. In just one month, Sister Tangxi would return with her child. She could tolerate Gu Ruochu occupying the magpie's nest for one month. When the time came, she would have to give up her position.
She did not hate Gu Ruochu. She only disliked her for occupying Ning Tangxi's position in the Huo family.
An Duo and Huo Zirui's conversation left the others in a daze. Mrs. Huo felt that the atmosphere was not right. Huo Zirui's words were very strange.
The two of them kept interacting. Gu Ruochu could guess what they were trying to imply. She knew they were up to no good.
"Third Brother and Miss An really have a tacit understanding. They even tell each other secrets and riddles." Gu Ruochu smiled. "Or are you two deliberately showing off your love in front of us? If you are interested in each other, you should tell your mother."
"Does Ruochu really care about other people showing off their love?" An Duo immediately interjected. "Some may say that she's jealous because she came from nothing."
"Is that so? I've heard that the less someone has, the more beautiful they are." Gu Ruochu's reply was perfunctory.
An Duo was rattled.
Gu Ruochu seemed to be having a normal conversation, and her attitude was dismissive. She was arrogant and willful.
She was a woman with no background. What was she so proud of? Where did she get her confidence from?
An Shaosi glanced at Gu Ruochu and teased, "Don't listen to her nonsense. This sister of mine is usually like this. How can a crazy person fall in love? Zirui doesn't like her type either."
"If you like her, you can try to get along with her."
Huo Zhenggang took to express his opinion that the An family was worthy of the Huo family. This son of his was too wild. Perhaps, he could find a woman to restrain him.
It was Huo Zirui's turn to change his expression.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Gu Ruochu ignored him. Huo Nanchen and her would do whatever they wanted. Their relationship was none of their business.
"I'll send you to the office."
"Okay."
An Shaosi heard that the couple was about to leave and quickly chased after them. An Duo followed them slowly in her high heels.
"Nanchen, Lu Fang asked me to bring you the medicine."
"Medicine? What medicine?" Gu Ruochu looked at Huo Nanchen. Why was he taking medicine without informing her?
"It's just some ordinary sleeping pills. I used to have insomnia. I'm almost cured now." Huo Nanchen's expression did not change as he vaguely explained to her.
An Shaosi rubbed his nose but did not make a sound.
'Sleeping pills?'
Gu Ruochu remembered that she had indeed seen an empty bottle of sleeping pills on the bedside table a while back. However, she had not seen it again since.
An Duo stood behind her. She could tell that Gu Ruochu did not know anything about Huo Nanchen's condition.
"Ruochu, do you even know why Nanchen took the pills?"
