Chapter 417-how much hatred is there

However, Huo Nanchen had not been home to see his wife for the past few days. That was not normal.

It was the first time that Huo Nanchen had failed to come home without giving an explanation. When Mrs. Huo thought about it, she felt compelled to ask Gu Ruochu about Huo Nanchen's whereabouts.

As a mother-in-law, it was not appropriate for her to butt into their affairs. However, she could also not sit back and do nothing.

"Ruochu, did Huo Nanchen go on a business trip?"

Mrs. Huo's probing words made Gu Ruochu fall silent. She knew that she would not be able to lie to her mother-in-law. Moreover, Gu Ruochu suspected that Mrs. Huo knew something about her argument with Huo Nanchen.

Gu Ruochu replayed their fight in her mind.

She had pushed him to his limits. Gu Ruochu did not even understand why she had slapped him. All she knew was that when she thought about his devotion to Ning Tangxi, she couldn't control her emotions.

Gu Ruochu guessed that it was probably the first time that someone had hit Huo Nanchen. He must have felt insulted. Gu Ruochu had seen him use every fiber of his being to restrain himself and hold back his temper. If he had imploded, he would have probably strangled her to death.

"No."

The corners of Mrs. Huo's mouth twitched slightly. As she had suspected, Huo Nanchen was not on a business trip. She concluded that the couple must have had a huge misunderstanding.

Mrs. Huo pitied Gu Ruochu. Nothing good had happened to her since she had married into the family. She had finally succeeded in getting along with Huo Nanchen, but now, the child had complicated everything.

"Then what's going on?" Mrs. Huo's voice was gentle as she tried to persuade her. "Ruochu, you have to tell me what happened so that I can help you bully him."

Gu Ruochu did not know what to say. How could she explain that she had slapped Huo Nanchen and called him a hypocrite?

When Mrs. Huo saw that Gu Ruochu could not bring herself to blurt out the words, she decided to let go of the matter. After all, relationships between a husband and his wife were always complicated.

The house phone suddenly rang. Mrs. Huo patted Gu Ruochu's shoulder and comforted her. "Don't be sad. I'll come back after I answer the phone."

"Okay."

"Hello."

"What did you say? Where is he now? Okay, I'll come right away." Mrs. Huo hung up after saying a few words. Three wrinkled lines formed on her worried face.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Huo gnashed her teeth and said, "That was Lan Nuo. She said that Huo Nanchen had a fight with someone and broke his arm. He's in the hospital!"

A fight?

Wasn't that something that a man-child like Huo Zirui would do? Did Huo Nanchen think that he was a seventeen-year-old kid? Where had his usual elegance and calmness gone?

Gu Ruochu's heart skipped a beat. She let out a small sigh of relief when she heard that Huo Nanchen was not the one who had been injured.

"I'm going to the hospital."

"Wait, I'm coming too."

Mrs. Huo was angry. She could not believe that Huo Nanchen would make such a fool of himself.

Mrs. Huo wasn't the only one stunned by Huo Nanchen's behavior. Lu Fang and Lan Nuo were also in a state of shock.

Lu Fang held his forehead helplessly as he looked at Huo Nanchen. "Big Brother, I'm begging you. What more do you want? I'm going to kneel and beg you to calm down, okay?"

Lan Nuo sat silently at the side. She had brought the man that Huo Nanchen had beaten up to the hospital. The man's hand had now been heavily cast and wrapped in a white bandage, and his face was expressionless.

Lan Nuo wanted to say something but she was afraid.

What had happened to Huo Nanchen's maturity and elegance?

He had badly beaten up someone over a small argument after getting drunk.

When she and Lu Fang had tried to stop him, Huo Nanchen had almost turned on them. He had a vicious look on his face as he broke the man's arms. They had to beg him to let go of him after seeing the man writhing on the ground in pain.

Huo Nanchen had reacted so viciously just because of a drunken argument.

Lan Nuo wondered what had caused him to be so violent.
