He wrapped his arms around her and raised his hand to pinch her earlobe. He then began to sweet-talk her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? "
Gu Ruochu buried her face in his shoulder and refused to raise her head again. Her face was burning and she felt a rare sense of embarrassment.
Usually, when there were only two of them, he would praise her and she would accept it as a matter of course.
Now that there were so many outsiders present, he had not restrained himself at all. Of course, she would feel embarrassed.
This person really did not care about the occasion and praised her. He was always gentle and sweet to her and never spoke with a heavy tone. Sometimes, she really felt like drowning by his side.
He had spoiled her so much that she had almost forgotten herself.
The Way Huo Nanchen spoke to Ruo Chu now was completely different from how he had treated Huo Jingjing earlier on.
Huo Jingjing looked at the pair of delicate ear-piercings on her ears and knew that her brother had specially picked them out.
In contrast to the tragic state of her marriage, she felt even more indignant but she quickly suppressed it.
The few of them entered the living room together. Huo Jingjing hugged her crying daughter in her arms as soon as she entered.
Qi Ru's gaze fell on Gu Ruochu and she asked calmly, "are you guys planning to go on a road trip? "
"Yes, I'm taking her out for a walk. She'll probably be back in a month or two. I've already arranged everything at home and on the road. Mother and grandmother don't need to worry about us. "
Qi Ru nodded and did not say another word.
"are brother and sister-in-law going on a trip? " Huo Jingjing asked despite knowing the answer to that question. However, her face was filled with surprise as she replied, "My mother had previously said that she would be having dinner with you, sister-in-law. It seems that you've changed the time with my mother, sister-in-law? "
Qi Ru's gaze fell on him once again, feeling a little strange.
Gu Ruochu suddenly realized that this mother-daughter pair was trying to trick her.
He had just hung up on him and Wen Xianglan had immediately picked up on her daughter to sow discord between her and her mother-in-law?
"She was the one who picked up the phone just now? " Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows and replied calmly, "you're too thick-skinned to refuse. Let me tell her. "
"There's no need. "
Gu Ruochu held his hand Her Gaze naturally fell upon her mother-in-law. "Mother, I did pick up a phone call today. However, I really didn't know that it was Jingjing's mother calling. I thought that it was another harassing call, so I hung up immediately. Jingjing, did your mother tell you I didn't discuss the matter of having dinner with her. After all, we're not that close."
She had described it in a very casual manner, but her counterattack was very reasonable. It also made Qi ru feel a little more comfortable.
Huo Jingjing had wanted to use this opportunity to fan the flames and sow discord between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, Gu Ruochu's reply made her unable to say a word.
She clearly knew that she was pretending to be dumb, but she could not find any flaws.
"I see. "
How could Qi ru not see that she was trying to sow discord between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? It seemed that Wen Xianglan was about to extend her hand to the Huo family.
"Go back and tell your mother that if there's anything, she can come to me directly. Ruo Chu is pregnant and does not have time to chat with you. ruo Chu is pregnant with twins, so she's much more tired than an ordinary person. "
Qi Ru's tone carried a hint of pride. That woman always said that she could not beat her. However, the rightful Mrs. Huo was her, and the heir to the huo family was also her son.
Wen Xianglan could only be an unspeakable mistress for the rest of her life, and her child would never be able to escape the title of shame. She could only stay on the pillar of shame for the rest of her life.
