Chapter 55, the scandal

Rong Xiao and Xu Yichen had also invested in the company. After the company was registered, a new entertainment workshop was born. Gu Ruochu was satisfied with the location of their new company.

"How is it? Not Bad, right?"

Xu Yichen walked over with his hands in his pockets. His long, straight trousers made him look even more intriguing. He exuded the clean aura of an elegant young man.

"Of course it's not bad. This will be our battlefield from now on."

"Haha, of course."

Gu Ruochu took the champagne from Rong Xiao and clinked glasses with both of them elegantly and calmly.

AT THE HUO RESIDENCE:

Zhou Yunxi woke up when it was almost noon.

During her stay at the Huo residence, she had almost gotten used to it. The house servants brought breakfast into the room. She enjoyed being treated like a rich lady that she almost forgot her original identity.

When she went downstairs, Mrs. Huo was on the phone with her best friend, while Gu Yanwei was sitting beside her and pruning a vase of roses with a servant.

"Yanwei, why didn't you go to work?"

"It's my day off today, so I didn't go."

Gu Yanwei had a few days off every week, so Zhou Yunxi didn't doubt it.

"Yanwei's flower arranging skills are getting better and better. The flowers look like a work of art." Mrs. Huo put down the phone and praised Gu Yanwei's work.

"Of course, Auntie. You taught me well." Gu Yanwei opened her mouth and coaxed a smile from Mrs. Huo.

"Where's Ruochu?" Zhou Yunxi almost called her a wretched girl, but she restrained herself in front of Mrs. Huo .

After all, that damned little girl was still the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. She had to save face for Mrs. Huo.

"Ruochu..." Gu Yanwei heard Zhou Yunxi mention Gu Ruochu's name and seemed to hesitate subconsciously. She wanted to say something but she stopped herself. "I... I don't know."

Zhou Yunxi keenly noticed the change in her eldest daughter's expression. She knew something was up. "Yanwei, is there something you want to tell me? Where did Ruochu go? You look like you're stammering. Is she..."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Ruochu didn't look for that man again..." Gu Yanwei suddenly stopped and looked like she had said something wrong. She wanted to bite off her own tongue. "Please, don't ask!"

"What did you say? What man?" Zhou Yunxi did not believe her daughter's words. Seeing her upset expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Is Ruochu fooling around with some man? Tell me, why aren't you finishing your sentence? You're killing me!"

Mrs. Huo's stern voice chimed in from the side. "Yanwei, what's going on? What man?"

"Auntie, you've misunderstood. Ruochu has nothing to do with that man. They're just good friends. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be?" A sinister smile appeared on Zhou Yunxi's face "Yanwei, don't be too kind. I gave birth to her. Don't you think I know what kind of person she is? If she doesn't have a man, she'll die. Now that she's married to someone, she's just as restless as before! What else would she do other than drag us down with her?"

Mrs. Huo felt a little disgusted when she heard Zhou Yunxi slander Gu Ruochu. After all, she was her biological mother. How could she slander her own daughter without any evidence?

Besides, Gu Ruochu was her daughter-in-law and Nanchen's wife.

Gu Yanwei could clearly sense Mrs. Huo's distrust. She turned on her phone and spoke hesitantly. "Auntie, I can't hide it from you now. Look."
