Chapter 99: Feeling refreshed

"Alright, hurry up and go. Take good care of your wife." Mrs. Huo's heart ached when she saw Gu Ruochu's discomfort.

Huo Zijun's heart ached when he saw Gu Yanwei's tearful face. However, he did not dare to speak up for her in front of Huo Nanchen.

The security guards walked over and began to lead Zhou Yunxi out of the Huo family home. As her daughter, Gu Yanwei could only follow behind them. They had never seen Gu Yanwei in such a sorry state before...

"We haven't packed yet. Let go of me, let go of me!"

Zhou Yunxi thought of this in her despair and began to struggle desperately. Perhaps there was still a chance. As long as she begged Mrs. Huo again, she might be able to stay.

"Mrs. Zhou, I've already packed everything for you." Nanny Zhang walked over from the crowd, her face full of disdain and contempt. She had the servants behind her throw Zhou Yunxi and her daughter's luggage at their feet.

Zhou Yunxi's trembling lips twitched a few times and she choked on her words.

"Mrs. Zhou, Miss Gu, please."

The security guards tried to be polite as they led them out.

Gu Yanwei followed Zhou Yunxi weakly. Because she could not keep up with the men, she trotted behind them slowly. There was no way she could change out of her dress, and she was wet and sticky.

As the two were kicked out of the villa, Nanny Zhang spat at them. Gu Yanwei had always been very glamorous in front of others, but this was the first time she had been looked down upon by so many people. She broke down and cried.

Finally, the two annoying women had been chased out. Mrs. Huo and Nanny Zhang felt refreshed.

"I'm sorry, a small issue had arisen but we've already settled it. Please continue." After returning to the garden, Mrs. Huo fully displayed her aristocratic temperament and continued to entertain the guests.

They had all witnessed what had happened. It didn't take long for the socialites to regain their composure. The atmosphere returned to its normal state as the banquet continued.

Before leaving, Mrs. Huo glared at Huo Jingjing. "You'd better think of an explanation tonight or I'll make you suffer!"

"I..."

Mrs. Huo did not wait for her to respond and glared at her as she left.

As she watched Mrs. Huo leave, Huo Jingjing's eyes were filled with hatred.

Her second brother was obviously involved in this matter, but Auntie chose to turn a blind eye to it because she had given birth to the child herself. She was simply too unlucky to have crawled out of a mistress's belly.

"..."

Huo Nanchen carried Gu Ruochu upstairs and placed her gently on the bed. It was only when she felt the soft bedsheets that she finally regained her senses. She lay on the bed and watched him tuck the blanket under her chin.

Under the light, his face looked even more noble and inviolable. The firm side of his face drew a smooth line.

It turns out Huo Nanchen had a gentle side. He seemed to have inadvertently treated her a little differently, even though Gu Ruochu was not sure.

He had always been hard to understand and he never seemed to give anyone the slightest chance to daydream.

Her heart was already riddled with holes, and she could not afford to gamble anymore.

She would never be like her mother, who fell into a one-sided relationship. In the end, she would leave this world in a miserable and unwilling manner.

"Didn't you say that the banquet was boring and that you didn't plan on attending?" Gu Ruochu did not look at him. Her long eyelashes fluttered and covered a small patch of shadow.

"Yes, it was very boring, but you were here." The simple sentence seemed to have a deeper hidden meaning.
