72 Chapter 74: The upcoming banquet

"If you really dare to do that, I'll break your legs."

Huo Nanchen's words almost caused Huo Zijun's face to fall.

Gu Ruochu emerged from the hot spring. Her expression was the same as usual. She had lunch with the others at the resort. She then planned to go meet with Rong Xiao and Xu Yichen.

The company had been officially established, and Rong Xiao had used all sorts of channels to recruit and hire people. The new company was already taking shape and Gu Ruochu planned to go take a look at its operations.

Mrs. Huo had never restricted Gu Ruochu's freedom. After spending some time with her, she understood her personality and did not want to interfere too much in her affairs. This little girl had to have her own boundaries and privacy.

"Ruochu, there's something I almost forgot to remind you about." Mrs. Huo suddenly remembered something. "There will be a large-scale dinner party held at home in a few days. Your father will be inviting some celebrities from all walks of life. There are still a few days left, you should prepare well."

The Huo family was a well-known family in the city. They hosted all kinds of large and small banquets regularly.

They were the cream of the upper society. As Madam Huo, it was impossible for Gu Ruochu to avoid socializing with the other rich and noble families.

In the past, whenever there was an event like this, the old Gu Ruochu would feel as if she was facing a great enemy. She would always make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Mrs. Huo had hated Gu Ruochu for failing to live up to her expectations. Fortunately, Gu Yanwei was still able to take care of things on her own, accompanying her to entertain guests. Gradually, Mrs. Huo had begun to have a good impression of Gu Yanwei.

In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Yanwei had the mannerisms to be the Young Madam Huo. She was more worthy of the title than her clumsy sister.

Most of the people who attended these banquets were from the upper class. The media was also present on many occasions. Gu Ruochu's reputation following these kind of events had been gradually ruined.

Even though Gu Ruochu had changed, Mrs. Huo was still worried that she would be unable to control herself.

It was the first time the Huo family had held such a banquet since Gu Ruochu's car accident.

"All right, I understand."

Gu Ruochu nodded and took the matter to heart.

Huo Nanchen did not ask her where she was going, but there was a hint of raw emotions in his eyes. It was as if there was a layer of mist in between them.

Gu Ruochu raised her eyes slightly, but it was like staring into a deep darkness. No one knew what she was thinking.

Everyone thought that she was unbearably vulgar and a good-for-nothing. Despite her looks, she could never compare to Gu Yanwei.

This time, she wanted to change the narrative. She wanted to prove that Gu Yanwei no longer had the right to compare to her.

She slowly curled the corners of her lips, casting a shadow on the side.

Huo Zijun sometimes felt that Gu Ruochu and his brother had the same temperament.

He suddenly wondered what kind of show she would put up at the banquet.

Gu Ruochu drove to her new company. Rong Xiao sat cross-legged as he watched the recent major events in the entertainment industry. His hands were typing skillfully on the keyboard.

"You're here? Have a seat, make yourself at home."

"Mm." Gu Ruochu casually sat next to Rong Xiao. She told him about the events that had happened at the Huo Family home over the past few days.

Rong Xiao stopped typing and looked at Gu Ruochu as if he had seen a ghost. "You mean Huo Nanchen..."

Huo Nanchen's name was like a warning line in his brain. He had become famous at a young age and was born into a wealthy family that had powerful connections in the military, business, and political circles.

Rong Xiao had often heard of his name when he was young. His impression of him was that he was cold, resolute, and dangerous.

It was the same for Gu Ruochu. She knew that she couldn't afford to provoke Huo Nanchen.
