Chapter 33 recuperation

Gu Yanwei was in a state of shock. She remembered how much Mrs. Huo valued filial piety and the elderly. If Zhou Yunxi asked to stay at the Huo family residence temporarily, Mrs. Huo would definitely agree.

If Zhou Yunxi moved into the Huo family home, Gu Yanwei would definitely move in as well. Although it would only be temporary, it would be enough for her.

Gu Yanwei knew that Zhou Yunxi was helping her pave the way.

"Mother, I'll discuss it with Ruochu when the time comes." Gu Yanwei held Zhou Yunxi's hand as a calculating light flashed in her eyes.

"Okay."

"..."

Gu Ruochu did not have much to do during the day, so she browsed for news about the entertainment industry on the Internet. Mrs. Huo had left early in the morning for a beauty treatment and was yet to return.

"Sister-in-law."

A young man dressed in a casual outfit and wearing a baseball cap strutted over with a devilish smile on his lips.

This was the Huo family's third young master, Huo Zijun.

"Brother-in-law, you're back?"

"It's been so long. I thought you wouldn't recognize me." Huo Zijun suddenly leaned forward as he inspected Gu Ruochu's face.

He was only twenty years old. His skin was fair and delicate. There were no pores on his skin.

Gu Ruochu subconsciously took a step back as he leaned forward in her line of sight. "If you want to talk, then talk nicely. Why are you so close to me? It's too eye-piercing!"

"Eye-piercing?" Huo Zijun's asked nicely.

He had inherited his parents' good looks. Countless beautiful women wanted to pounce on him. How was he eye-piercing when it came to Gu Ruochu?

"Sister-in-law, how long has it been since I saw you? Why are you so stubborn towards me?"

Gu Ruochu glanced at Huo Zijun. "I'm always this stubborn. Do I need a reason? It doesn't have anything to do with how long it's been since you last saw me. "

"..."

He was speechless.

Gu Ruochu looked at him as if he was a flood beast. She despised him. In the past, whenever she saw him, she would easily blush and feel shy.

"..."

"Zijun, you're back." Mrs. Huo had returned from her appointment. When she saw that her son had arrived home, a warm smile appeared on her face.

"Mother." Huo Zijun's eyes curved into the shape of a crescent when he saw her. He teased, "It's been a year since we last saw each other. The beauty in our house is getting younger and younger. I'm so mesmerized by her."

"You're the only one who talks nonsense."

Mrs. Huo pretended to be annoyed. She then turned around and asked the servants to move some luggage into the house. "Move these things upstairs and tidy up two more rooms."

"Mother, who's moving in?"

"It's your sister-in-law's mother and sister. They'll be staying at the Huo residence for a few days." Mrs. Huo seemed to have just remembered and looked at Gu Ruochu. "Ruochu, your mother said that she had discussed this with you. She plans to stay with the Huo family for a while to recuperate. So early this morning, I had someone bring your mother and Yanwei over."

"Recuperate?"

Gu Ruochu thought back to this word and felt that it was rather laughable. When had Zhou Yunxi discussed this with her? She had directly asked Mrs. Huo to move in. Gu Ruochu was probably the last person be informed that Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei were moving into the Huo family home. This was news to her.

It was obvious that Gu Yanwei must have instigated Zhou Yunxi behind her back. Temporarily staying in the Huo family home to recover from her illness? Wasn't she just giving Gu Yanwei a chance to get close to Huo Nanchen?

"Thank you, mother." Her lips curved into a smile.

Mrs. Huo nodded. She noticed nothing unusual about Gu Ruochu and called for a servant to help carry the luggage up.
