Chapter 22: An imposter?

"Gu Yanwei is in the Huo Corporation. Isn't she one of Gu Ruochu's employees?"

"That's right. Madam Huo, you must be careful not to raise an ingrate by your side." Someone glanced meaningfully at Gu Yanwei and her expression changed.

The surrounding jeers were getting louder. If it were not for Gu Yanwei's strong willpower, she would have made a fool of herself.

"It's getting late. Let's go home." Huo Nanchen looked at the time and walked closer with his long legs. A cold and sharp light flashed in his eyes. His aura was like that of a king. Even Gu Ruochu felt a sense of awe.

He exuded a sense of danger comparable to Hell itself.

"All right."

Gu Ruochu nodded and followed behind him. Gu Yanwei watched as they left. She silently pressed her fingers into her palm.

"..."

Gu Ruochu thought he had offered to take her home as a polite gesture to fool the crowd. When he finally made his way towards the black Maybach, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. Was this still the strange man with a bad temper?

If she had not met him before, she would have mistaken Huo Nanchen for a considerate and protective man during the class reunion.

In reality, he was cold and violent. He had absolute authority over everything.

After getting into the car, Huo Nanchen did not drive. Instead, he closed the car window and furrowed his brows as he scrutinized her. It was as if he had seen through everything.

His perfect cold face was hard to fathom.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's tiring to hold it in." Gu Ruochu raised her brows and glanced at him.

"You should explain. You were recently easy to bully. Why has your personality suddenly changed? Why are you so aggressive now?" He continued to scrutinize her with a focused and cold gaze.

"Do you suspect me?" Gu Ruochu scoffed as her gaze swept past his handsome face. "Don't tell me you think I'm an imposter pretending to be your wife?"

She was not the least bit surprised by Huo Nanchen's question. After all, she had not hidden her true identity. Who would believe that she could reincarnate from a dead body? Even if an overlord like Huo Nanchen were to investigate her background, he would not find any clues.

"Gu Ruochu, if you really are an imposter, I will make your life a living hell." There was a hint of coldness in his domineering voice. His posture was high and mighty, and the invisible pressure emanating from his body was so strong that no one would be able to resist submitting to him.

Gu Ruochu curled her red lips and narrowed her eyes at him. "Mr. Huo was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and his methods are extremely powerful. However, if you want to kill me, I believe that the price will be very high."

Huo Nanchen looked at her and said coldly, "Gu Ruochu, aren't you a little too conceited and annoying?"

Gu Ruochu laughed softly and her gaze seemed to drift for a moment. "Whoever wants to kill me, I'll drag him down with me. Even if I have to go to hell. I don't care what price I have to pay!"

Of course, she would only risk her life at the very last moment.

Gu Ruochu's eyes suddenly burst with a scary ruthlessness. There was no trace of warmth in them.

"Including me?" Huo Nanchen thought he had heard a joke. This was new. He had never been threatened before.

"Including you."

Back when she had just arrived at the black jail, Xu Ling had found someone to break four of her ribs and try to kill her. But Master Qi would not die. She was like an unkillable cockroach, turning around and beating her attackers to death.
