Chapter 21 taunting

Gu Yanwei did not expect to bump into Huo Nanchen at the class reunion. She was slightly shocked, but she was also pleasantly surprised. Her tone sounded a little coquettish.

The light in Huo Nanchen's eyes was hidden. He stood out among the three or four men in their forties and fifties. The temperament that seeped out of his bones was exceptionally noble.

Compared to Gu Yanwei's enthusiasm, he remained cold.

He reached out, pulled open the stool in front of him, and casually sat down. After he had walked in, the atmosphere at the scene had become subtle.

The crowd in the private room gasped. They had not expected to see the real Huo Nanchen here. The rumors were true. His looks were exquisite to the extreme and his aura was strong.

He was a legend in Nan Cheng.

"Why are you here?" As soon as he spoke, the shocked eyes of the entire room turned towards one direction. He was looking at Gu Ruochu!

The difference between Gu Ruochu and Gu Yanwei was obvious.

"It's a class reunion today, and I just happened to drop by."

Gu Ruochu had thought Huo Nanchen would ignore her. She expected him to throw a tantrum at her. After all, he had such a bad temper.

Although his attitude was still indifferent, it was gentle.

'What the hell?'

"Master Huo, do you know Gu Ruochu?" Liu Mengyu stuttered. Her eyes were filled with shock and unease as she stared at Gu Ruochu. She looked at her as if she had not seen her clearly the first time.

The crowd also wanted to know the relationship between the two. How did Gu Ruochu know Huo Nanchen? Could it be because of Gu Yanwei? When they thought about it, they felt that it made sense.

However, the next words out of Huo Nanchen's mouth sent shock waves throughout the room.

Huo Nanchen raised his eye mask. His eyes were deep and cold. "May I ask, how did my wife offend Miss Liu? You called her a slut. Did the Huo family offend you?"

His tone was very slow. Everyone was stunned when he revealed that she was his wife. The scene was unbelievably quiet.

Liu Mengyu's face was pale and her lips trembled. She could not say a word. She did not believe what she had just heard.

It was impossible. She had not expected such a sudden turn of events. Considering the background of the Huo family, Huo Nanchen was someone the Liu family could not afford to offend. She never thought Gu Ruochu would suddenly turn into Mrs. Huo.

Gu Ruochu looked at Huo Nanchen. She had not expected him to defend her on the spot.

"Master Huo, this is a misunderstanding..." Liu Mengyu put on a stupid act and laughed dryly. Gu Yanwei's face was gloomy as she tried her best to maintain her calm.

Gu Ruochu was the first to regain her senses. Her eyes swept across the crowd, and she then stared fixedly at Li Mengyu. "You kept saying that I was a mistress, and you even speculated that I was with an old man. Why didn't my sister tell you that I've been married for a long time and that I'm married to Huo Nanchen?"

Although she framed it as a rhetorical question, her tone was already firm.

The crowd turned to look at Gu Yanwei. She had said that her sister had nothing to do at home and mentioned nothing about Gu Ruochu's marriage, much less to Huo Nanchen.

"I've always forgotten to mention that fact. I never thought Mengyu would slander Ruochu like this. Ruochu, I'm sorry." Gu Yanwei apologized sincerely, with self-reproach on her face. It was hard for anyone to blame her.

"I always wondered about it. So it turns out that a certain someone was able to gain employment at a Fortune 500 because of her sister. In other words, that individual is an employee of Madam Huo..." One onlooker could not help but mock her. "When Liu Mengyu insulted the Young Madam as a mistress, someone didn't even tell her the truth. I wonder what he's thinking."
