It was rare for him to say such words of praise. Gu Ruochu lowered her head and smiled. Huo Nanchen took advantage of the situation and kissed her eyes.
"I really don't want other men to see you like this. I don't want them to see your beauty."
"Don't be so mushy!"
Gu Ruochu pushed him away lightheartedly as she smiled.
Back at the Gu family, Gu Li was furious when she heard that Huo Zirui had been on a blind date with the Yang family's daughter under Huo Zhenggang's arrangements.
It had not been easy to trick Huo Zirui into conceiving a child with her, but in the end, the child had not put her in the position she wanted. It seemed that she had suffered for nothing. How could she accept it?
Gu Li took out her phone and called Huo Zirui, but he did not pick up. After calling for more than a dozen times in a row, Gu Li finally broke down.
"Mom, didn't you say that I could marry into the Huo family? Now it was all for nothing! How did you help me?"
Gu Li screamed at her mother. Huang Meixiang felt her heart ache as she hugged her. "Li Li, please don't despair. You're pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Huo family!"
"They don't want me at all. What use do I have for this child?" Tears and snot flowed down Gu Li's face as she dug her fingers into her palms. "It's all Gu Yanwei's fault. It's all her fault for coming up with such a stupid idea! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have kept this b*stard and taken such a big risk to provoke the Huo family! Gu Yanwei is trying to harm me, mom!"
"Don't be afraid. I have something on Gu Yanwei. She would never dare to harm you!"
Huang Meixiang's tone was firm. If Gu Yanwei dared to harm her daughter, she would expose her secret to Mrs. Ning. When that time came, the Ning family would not let her off!
She still had the golden bracelet!
When she heard her mother's words, Gu Li's heart was slightly relieved. "Mom, what should we do now? Am I going to give birth to this b*stard? The Huo family will never accept me. Keeping this child will only expose us!"
Gu Li did not know who between the man at the bar and Huo Zirui was the true father of the child.
She originally planned to use the child to marry into the Huo family. She would then have an "accidental" miscarriage. However, the Huo family did not want her at all. Huo Zirui was also unreliable!
"You can't have this child now."
Huang Meixiang immediately made her decision. Mrs. Huo had already sent security guards to protect the Gu family and take care of Lili. The Huo family still wanted the child.
If it turned out that the baby was not Huo Zirui's, the Huo family would never forgive them!
"Don't worry, I'll think of a solution, " Huang Meixiang comforted her daughter as her mind worked quickly. Gu Li would have to give up the child, but the Huo family would have to find someone to take the blame before they would believe that it was not a conspiracy.
The most obvious candidate was Gu Ruochu.
"Lili, let's go. We're going to the Huo family home now!"
Gu Li sobbed as she followed her mother. Soon, Huang Meixiang and her daughter arrived at the Huo family home. Because her daughter was carrying the Huo family's grandchild, the maid did not stop the mother and daughter but only tactfully informed them.
"Mrs. Gu, there are guests in the Huo family home today."
"We know, but we have something important to discuss with Mrs. Huo."
Huang Meixiang immediately brought her daughter upstairs. She had been thinking of a way to lure Gu Ruochu without attracting attention. Luckily, Gu Ruochu was walking down the stairs.
Gu Ruochu did not look directly at Huang Meixiang and her daughter as she walked towards them. Huang Meixiang supported Gu Li as her heart pounded wildly in her chest. She was extremely nervous as she watched Gu Ruochu's every move from the corner of her eye, afraid that she would miss her chance.
