Chapter 998 (2/2)

Qi Ru had been troubled by some matters. She was in a much better mood a few days before her son’s return. She planned to go to the mall with Gu Ruochu to pick out some jewelry and clothes.

The Huo family had a more conventional banquet in the afternoon. It was a gathering of people who were familiar with each other. The people dispersed faster than usual because it was old master Gu’s birthday this afternoon. Everyone was busy picking out gifts and clothes to wear.

The Gu family had always been very mysterious in an city. However, they had openly invited some of their relatives and friends to a gathering today. Even the Ning family, who had “grudges” , had invited them.

Perhaps the old master was gradually letting go of the past and untying the knot in his heart.

On the Huo family’s side, of course, Gu Ruochu and Qi ru would appear.

Too many things had happened recently, so they thought that they should go out to relax. After they had prepared the gifts, they dressed up slightly and changed into more eye-catching clothes. They were then sent to the Gu family by the chauffeur.

It was not because they were enemies that they would not gather together. Gu Ruochu was not too surprised when she saw Huo Zhenggang and Wen Xianglan.

She reckoned that they were still trying to get on the Gu family’s good side.

Huo Zhenggang did not even look in the mirror. Now that he was no longer part of the Huo family, how could he still be connected to the Gu family?

It was not as if he could enter the banquet just by giving the old master a birthday present.

“Ruo Chu, Qi Ru, you’re here too? ”

Wen Xianglan’s gentle voice rang out. Qi Ru felt like vomiting upon hearing this and did not want to give her any face at all. She scoffed coldly and dragged Ruo Chu away.

Huo zhenggang frowned as if he was very critical of her attitude but he did not say anything.

Gu Ruochu moved closer and spoke to the bodyguard beside her.

The bodyguard nodded and immediately turned around to leave.

Wen Xianglan witnessed this scene. She actually wanted to know what Gu Ruochu had just said to the bodyguard.

Ever since she had met Gu Ruochu, Wen Xianglan had been very wary of this girl.
