Chapter 82: a slap in the face

Gu Yanwei thought that Gu Ruochu had stolen Huo Nanchen's black card.

"Your brother gave this card to me himself."

Gu Ruochu was speaking the truth, but Huo Jingjing merely smiled contemptuously. "You're lying! My brother has never even thought of giving me such a card. How could he possibly give it to you!"

"Your logic is so touching. So what if your brother didn't give it to you? Do you think that you're that important to my husband?"

Huo Jingjing's glared at Gu Ruochu and gritted her teeth.

Gu Ruochu saw the jealousy in Huo Jingjing's eyes and knew that she had touched a nerve. She to end their argument before it escalated.

"I won't argue with an idiot. As long as you're happy."

"Gu Ruochu!" Huo Jingjing stomped her feet in anger. "Don't think that my brother will really fall for you. Dream on! It won't be long before I kick you out of our house! You shameless b * tch!"

Gu Ruochu stared at her coldly and burst into laughter.

"You? The daughter of a mistress? Do you really think that the Huo family is your home? Do the members of the mistress family like to steal other people's things?"

The word 'mistress' once again provoked Huo Jingjing. Her expression changed drastically as she roared angrily, "Gu Ruochu, don't think that you're innocent. You stole your sister's man. You're a dissolute slut! You're just a slut who can be trampled by thousands of people..."

Gu Yanwei did not say a word. However, when she thought about how Gu Ruochu had turned from a wild chicken into a phoenix after marrying Huo Nanchen, she felt as if she had been pricked by a needle.

She could not stand the fact that her sister, who had always been at a disadvantage, had suddenly become so superior.

The vicious exchange between Gu Ruochu and Huo Jingjing made the people present in the shop crave for more drama.

They could not help but listen to the Huo family's illegitimate daughter.

It was rare for the dirty laundry of the wealthy Huo family to be washed so publicly.

As Huo Jingjing's voice trailed off, a windswept slap landed on her face.

Huo Jingjing suddenly let out a scream. She had been slapped so hard that her body moved sideways. She covered her face with one hand as she recovered from the initial daze from the slap.

Gu Ruochu had not moved at all. As she had been shopping for her gown, she had seen Huo Nanchen enter the store. Mrs. Huo must have asked him to come pick her up.

She had calmly provoked Huo Jingjing, waiting for the moment when Huo Nanchen would be enraged.

No man would tolerate such a public humiliation of his wife.

Sure enough, Huo Nanchen had finally had enough of Huo Jingjing's insults towards his wife and approached them as they argued.

Huo Jingjing finally regained her composure as she looked at Huo Nanchen.

"Big Brother!"

Her eyes were red as she looked pitifully at Huo Nanchen's extremely cold expression.

"Big Brother, you actually hit me! You actually hit me because of this woman!"

"Say that again!" Huo Nanchen was as cold as an Asura from hell. He raised his arm and pulled Gu Ruochu into his embrace.

Gu Ruochu was stunned that he had come to her defense in such a wild manner. She did not struggle.

"President Huo!"

"Huo Nanchen!"

Gu Yanwei helped Huo Jingjing stand steadily on her feet in fear.

The shop assistant's heart pounded when she saw Huo Nanchen in person. She stared fixedly at him.

"What happened?"

"Ask her yourself. She's inexplicably full of foul language and has no manners."

Huo Nanchen's gaze swept over Huo Jingjing, causing her to shiver. She had always known that her eldest brother was difficult to deal with.
