Chapter 329 fell to the ground

The ward fell silent.

When Gu Li was young, she hated Gu Ruochu to the core. She was beautiful, elegant, and naturally likable. This made Gu Li feel like an ugly duckling.

Now that she had revealed her scheme, Gu Li felt relieved. She suddenly smiled and pulled out a small kitchen knife. "My dear cousin, you really shouldn't have come to my ward. This time, I'd like to see if you will maintain your position as the young lady of the Huo family in such a glamorous manner."

Gu Ruochu looked at Gu Li's vicious gaze and did not move.

Gu Li did not stab her, but instead, held the knife to her hand.

"After you came to my ward, I was stabbed. Who do you think they will believe?"

Gu Li slit her hand. Blood gushed out of her veins rapidly. She suddenly felt light-headed, and her expression changed.

She did not want to die. She only wanted to frame Gu Ruochu!

After a few more minutes, Gu Li could not hold on any longer and lay on the bed.

"Cousin, save me. Call a doctor..."

"Don't you want to die? Don't force yourself to live in this world anymore." Gu Ruochu continued to look at her coldly.

Gu Li's eyes moved lazily and her heart was beginning to feel cold. She looked at Gu Ruochu with pleading eyes.

All of a sudden, the ward door was pushed open. Zhang Xuan rushed in and saw the scene. She quickly asked her bodyguard to lift Gu Li from the bed.

"Gu Ruochu, you actually dared to kill someone?"

"She stabbed herself! What does that have to do with me?"

"You're still trying to quibble, I've seen it with my own eyes!" Zhang Yuan did not think that Gu Ruochu would dare to defend herself. "Who do you think you are? You pushed Gu Li down the stairs and made her lose her child. Now, you want to act as the Huo family's executioner and get rid of her? How could the Huo family have such a cruel and merciless woman like you!"

"I told you, she was the one who rolled down the stairs." Gu Ruochu's heart was filled with anger. "Who do you think you are to judge me?"

"Lili was finally pregnant with the Huo family's grandson. How could she be so careless? She has always wanted this child! You, on the other hand, would do anything to please Mrs. Huo!" Zhang Yuan was furious. She looked at Gu Ruochu spitefully. She was using a chicken feather as a command arrow. People of low birth were simply uneducated.

"Do I want to please Mrs. Huo, or do you, an outsider, want to use this opportunity to please Gu Yanwei?" Gu Ruochu enunciated each word. "She's not your goddaughter, she's your illegitimate daughter, isn't she?"

Zhang Xuan's eyes widened. Suddenly, she reached out her trembling hand and swung it towards Gu Ruochu's face. Abruptly, Gu Ruochu felt a strong pull, and Huo Nanchen pulled her body back and into his embrace.

Zhang Yuan did not retract her hand. It landed loudly on Huo Nanchen's back.

"Zhang Xuan, stop!" Ning Tang had just arrived at the door, and his heart trembled when he saw this scene.

Huo Nanchen could not believe that she had tried to bully his wife again after he had just left. Zhang Xuan saw the way Gu Ruochu was looking at her, and her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

At that moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She was so stifled that she could hardly breathe.

"Madam Ning, you're being too controlling." Huo Nanchen let go of Gu Ruochu. His expression was so cold that it made Zhang Yuan's goosebumps appear. "It's not up to you, a person with the surname Ning, to meddle in the Huo family's affairs. Now get the hell out of here!"

Zhang Xuan was so frightened that she staggered. She twisted her high heels while stepping on the doorsill and fell to the ground.
