Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

The air was filled with the laughter of socialites, like a few slaps in the face.

Cheng Yi was so embarrassed that she couldn't help crying. She pushed Aunt Huo away and ran away.

Aunt Huo felt bad too, forcing a smile. "Qianqian, your cousin already knows she's wrong, so don't be angry anymore. Okay?"

Why should she forgive me just because she apologizes?

Huo Qianqian sniffed softly, rubbed against Ruan Xingchen again, and called out softly, "Sister-in-law."

Why are all of you crying?

Ruan Xingchen was helpless and patted her hand soothingly: "Apologizing is what the person who made the mistake should do. You can't force the victim to accept it, right? After all, our Qianqian is only a 19-year-old child."

"Pfft."

Someone in the crowd couldn't hold back their laughter. Ruan Xingchen looked over and was surprised to see Gu Zhuo standing not far away.

How could a doctor from a hospital, even if young and promising, appear at a dinner of this stature? And what about Huo Yan? Huo Yan's surgery...

Thinking that his surname was also Gu, several thoughts flashed through Ruan Xingchen's mind.

Gu Zhuo didn't seem to mind being recognized by her. He nodded at her with a smile and made a gesture to reassure her.

Coincidentally, the cell phone in the small handbag vibrated twice.

It was a signal that everything was going well, as planned.

Ruan Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Huo was so embarrassed by what she said that she could only nod stiffly and say, "Yes."

"Okay, your problem has been solved." Old Master Gu knocked his cane heavily on the floor. When he looked at Ruan Xingchen, his expression softened a bit, but his face was still grim. "Our Gu Family Temple is small and can't accommodate several large Buddhas. Please come in."

He is old and doesn't have much time left to live, so he just wants to follow his heart and do what he wants.

He liked this girl and was willing to give her some face and let her handle the matter, but it couldn't change his mind.

Huo Qianqian's tears, which had just stopped, began to fall again. She subconsciously grabbed Ruan Xingchen's hand and whispered in defense, "Sister-in-law, I didn't... It really wasn't me, someone pushed me..."

Will she believe it?

Huo Qianqian was so nervous that she held her breath and felt her heart stop beating.

No one believed her. If something happened to Mr. Gu's flowers, someone had to bear the wrath. So what about her?

Will she believe her?

The feeling of being protected was so wonderful that Huo Qianqian couldn't help but greedily want more. But...

There was no sound for a long time, and Ruan Xingchen gently but firmly broke free from her hand.

Huo Qianqian's heart gradually cooled, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. As expected... no one would believe her, and no one would offend Mr. Gu for her.

She felt as if she was falling and falling along with her heart, falling into the endless abyss and into the darkness.

At this moment, a hand gently pushed her shoulder and brought her to the front of the crowd.

The clear, graceful female voice still carried a smile, as if she could remain calm and confident no matter what the situation. "Mr. Gu, please don't worry. I believe my child won't be such an unruly and ignorant person."

She said, she believed her? She said, "My child"? Is this what it feels like to be protected by a parent?

A bright light suddenly exploded from the sky, breaking through the endless darkness.

Huo Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up and she turned to look at that beautiful and confident face.

She believes her!

"It's not that you can believe it." Old Master Gu's anger had not subsided, and he snorted coldly: "You, a girl, are capable of doing things. I, an old man, am too lazy to bother with you. So, kick this troublemaker out, and I won't bother with your Huo family anymore. How about it?"

His eyes were cloudy with age, but his gaze was still sharp.

Huo Qianqian froze, her emotions like a roller coaster, soaring to the sky one moment and plummeting to the bottom the next.

The Gu family is not just the Gu family, it also represents huge interests and the stability of the current situation.

Was she going to be abandoned? She smiled bitterly.

If it were her, she would also know what the right decision to make.

"Why would Mr. Gu say such things?" However, Ruan Xingchen remained unmoved. He chuckled and shook his head, "The Huo family is one family. If the younger generation does something wrong, the elders should naturally be held responsible. There's no such thing as causing trouble or not causing trouble."

Is she crazy?

Not only Huo Qianqian, but everyone present showed such thoughts.

The socialites, who had always been filled with jealousy and malice, lost control of their expressions for a rare time. They were shocked beyond words as they looked at the apparently delicate yet unexpectedly powerful figure in the field.

They wanted to gather together as they had done before, elegantly and condescendingly mocking this girl from the slums, mocking her for breaking into the circle of wealthy families yet still being a shallow and inferior person.

but……

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel envy and yearning in my heart.

If they were in Huo Qianqian's situation, would their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law protect them like this?

Can they, like Ruan Xingchen, stand among countless important figures without any fear and defend the family members they want to protect with unwavering resolve?

Family...what an alluring and touching word.

People all admire the strong, and the socialites didn't realize that their mentality began to change unconsciously.

As the one being protected, Huo Qianqian's tears fell even faster. She tried to wipe them away in a hurry, but couldn't stop sobbing.

How could there be such a stupid person in this world? She is really too stupid...

It was so silly that her heart felt soft and bitter, and it was so warm that she couldn't stop crying.

Old Master Gu's hawk-like gaze fell on Ruan Xingchen, but Ruan Xingchen did not give in at all.

His furious expression gradually softened, and he showed a rare bit of admiration: "You are very courageous."

Apart from Huo Yan, this is the second junior he has seen in recent years who is so responsible, capable and resourceful.

"I believe that with Mr. Gu's insight, he would not be unaware of the problem." Ruan Xingchen chuckled, "I believe in our child. But as the party framed, the Huo family is indeed responsible for Lanhua's problems."

Mr. Gu is an old and cunning man. Does he really not know that someone is plotting against Huo Qianqian?

It was just that his beloved double-petaled white-crowned lotus tripod was destroyed, and in his rage, Mr. Gu only wanted to make the culprit pay the price, so he didn't care whether there was a scapegoat or not.

Just letting out some anger.

Huo Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. As "our child" as she called him, her heart almost flew away at this moment. The complex and warm feeling made her unable to stop, and she could only get closer to the slender but reliable figure beside her.

"Oh?" Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone still cold: "It's a fact that the flowers were destroyed. It was caused by your Huo family. Now that you admit it, what else is there to argue about?"
