Even though Zhang Yuan was in an extremely sorry state, all she could think of was Gu Ruochu's gaze. It was as if she had been stabbed deep into her heart.
It reminded her of a nightmare she had in the past. The feeling was strange, and it felt like she was suffocating.
Ning Tang did not know why Zhang Yuan had changed so much recently. She was constantly meddling in matters related to the Gu and Huo families. Ning Tang endured his sorry feelings for her and refused to help her up.
"Get up. Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Zhang Yuan immediately got up. She felt ashamed and did not look at her husband.
"Everything that happened today was my wife's fault. Please don't take it to heart." Ning Tang looked at Gu Ruochu and apologized, "I'm sorry."
"If any outsiders interfere in the Huo family's affairs, I will let them know the consequences of meddling in their business. From today onwards, Madam Ning, please do not step foot into the Huo family's house again."
"I..."
Zhang Xuan spoke subconsciously. She was uncomfortable and did not argue any further. It was true that she had been too involved in the Huo family's matters, and her prejudice towards Gu Ruochu was great.
"Nanchen, let's go."
Gu Ruochu could not accept their apology. The damage had already been done. An apology was only a way for them to ease their conscience. She did not see any reason to act nobly.
Ning Tang was astounded that Gu Ruochu did not bother with him. His expression was awkward.
"Mmm, let's go." In her world, Huo Nanchen's face was the only thing that was clear. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and they brushed past Zhang Yuan.
Gu Li had suffered a miscarriage, and to make matters worse, she had lost a lot of blood because of the cut. The doctors worked to save her life in the resuscitation room.
Gu Ruochu did not want to think about everything that had happened. She leaned tiredly on Huo Nanchen's shoulder as they sat in the waiting room.
She did not want to think about anything.
He held her hand and said, "Remember we talked about having a new wedding. The last wedding was too rushed. We'll go to the priest once this matter is settled."
When they had first gotten married, neither of them had been excited about it. Now that things were different, he wanted to see her put on a wedding dress again.
"All right." They had persevered much after getting married. It seemed that the heavens had brought them together on purpose.
Huang Meixiang and her family rushed to the hospital once again. When they heard that their daughter had lost too much blood due to the knife cut, their hearts clenched.
When the doctor finally came out, he took off his mask and said, "The patient is fine now, but she has lost too much blood and needs to be hospitalized to recuperate."
Huang Meixiang sighed when she heard this.
She turned around and saw Gu Ruochu leaning against Huo Nanchen indifferently. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. In her eyes, Gu Ruochu was responsible for all of this. Huang Meixiang wanted nothing more than to see Gu Ruochu suffer.
"..."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Qiang arrived.
Huo Zirui was sitting on a single-seater sofa at the side. He did not sit together with Mrs. Huo and the others.
Nanny Zhang felt uneasy and stood by the side. Huang Meixiang raised her head and saw her. She sarcastically said, "You were there this morning, right? Our Lili rolled down the stairs, and all you could do was ask the Young Madam if you should call a doctor. I know that you were working with her and wanted Lili's life. Fortunately, Lili is fine, or I wouldn't have spared you!"
Nanny Zhang was displeased, but she didn't retort. She poured some tea for Mrs. Huo and stood aside.
Seeing how arrogant Huang Meixiang was, Mrs. Huo was also full of anger. However, Gu Li was already pitiful enough without a child, so she held it in.
"Sit down."
Seeing that Mrs. Huo was still acting noble, Huang Meixiang was displeased. Mrs. Huo had been a shrewd character when they were young. "I'm here today to seek justice for my daughter! Don't think that the Huo family can bully others just because they have power and influence. Unless you kill us, we'll risk our lives to take revenge on the Huo family!"
