Chapter 304 fate

As soon as she got up, Huo Nanchen grabbed her hand again. "Let's go. I'll go with you."

Gu Ruochu was stunned for a moment before she nodded. Huo Nanchen's anger had subsided a little.

Mrs. Huo had just finished dealing with Huo Zirui and Gu Li. When she came out of the study, she saw that the servant's heads were lowered, and they stood silently by the side. Her son's expression was grim as he held onto Ruochu's arm and escorted her out with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. We're going out for a while."

When the couple disappeared, Nanny Zhang quietly walked up to Mrs. Huo. "Well, the Young Madam and the Young Master quarreled again."

Qi Ru shook her head. She didn't know what was wrong with the two of them.

"If they continue to argue like this, won't their relationship implode?"

"No." Mrs. Huo shook her head. "How long have they been together? They haven't been in love for long enough, so it's normal for them to quarrel frequently. Some people can't be polite to each other for their whole lives. I believe they are destined to be together. Don't worry."

"That's true, but they're the only ones who know what's going on between them," Nanny Zhang sighed. "I hope they can get over it soon."

"I hope so too." Mrs. Huo wasn't worried about Gu Ruochu. Huo Zirui was the one who made her head ache.

She still didn't know how to deal with Gu Li. The Gu family was unorthodox, and they were trying to turn the Huo family upside down.

What kind of low threshold did they think the Huo family had? Did Gu Li think she would become a member of the Huo family because she was pregnant? If she set such a precedent, there would be endless trouble?

Moreover, Mrs. Huo did not want to Gu Li to have a child linked to the Huo family, even if it would be part of the Huo family's bloodline.

However, if she compromised because of the child, Mrs. Huo feared that Gu Li would use the child to fight for wealth and status in the family. That woman was too jealous of Ruochu. She would definitely cause trouble for her in the future.

Huo Zirui had erred in getting Gu Li pregnant. She would use the child as her talisman because it had the Huo family's blood.

Mrs. Huo could tell by looking at Gu Li's smug face that she would not let go of her of the situation lightly.

Just as Mrs. Huo was thinking about how she would resolve the problem, Huo Zirui brought Gu Li over from the outer hall.

Gu Li held onto Huo Zirui's arm and pitifully called out, "Aunt."

Mrs. Huo did not bother to respond. Her graceful and magnanimous face carried an air of nobility that was difficult to approach. She only looked at Huo Zirui. "Huo Zirui, I've made it clear to you that this woman will not stay in the Huo family home."

Gu Li's face lost its color. She did not understand why Mrs. Huo had accepted Gu Ruochu but had such a low opinion of her. How was she not comparable to Gu Ruochu?

"What about the child?"

"I'll wait for your father to come back, and we'll discuss the child." Mrs. Huo's tone had an air of finality to it.

"Mother, I've also told you that I want this child."

Huo Zirui never thought that he would ever look forward to having a child. Even though he was drunk when he lay with Gu Li, the doctor's test results had given him a strangely warm feeling in his heart.

Did Tangxi feel the same way back then?

He remembered the soft maternal glow on Ning Tangxi's body and the happy expression on her face after she found out that she was pregnant.

He would never forget it.

Mrs. Huo said firmly, "You guys don't have the final say on this matter. Let's wait for your father's judgment."

Gu Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. With Huo Zirui backing her, she would definitely marry into the Huo family. After all, she was pregnant with the noble grandson of the Huo family!
