Huo Shaoheng’s voice was low and even, magnetic enough to pull heartstrings while carrying reusable authority. His face was already unusually handsome, but when he spoke so sternly, it made others admire him and want nothing more than to bow down to him. Gu Nianzhi’s large and dark eyes glanced over, his gaze as cold as obsidian submerged in ice water. Huo Shaoheng’s eyes swept over all the faces in the hall before finally looking at Gu Nianzhi. They stared at each other, separated by only the length of the hall, but it felt like they were mountains and rivers apart.
Tan Guiren noticed that Huo Shaoheng had arrived and was even defending her. Her heart nearly exploded in that instant. She discreetly looked at Huo Shaoheng and then at Gu Nianzhi. She didn’t see any difference in their expressions, so they appeared like two normal acquaintances. Tan Guiren thought they were being too calm and didn’t show the excitement and joy of when two lovers when they saw each other. If he was her boyfriend, she would be happy and lunge right at him. How could she stand so far away like nothing was happening and not even glance up? Tan Gurien thought about it quietly as she glued her eyes on Huo Shaoheng.
It also seemed like Gu Yanran had seen her savior and quickly said to Huo Shaoheng, “Huo Shao! This is too much! They invaded my privacy!”
Gu Nianzhi felt a wave of disgust from her words and couldn’t help but elbow her to move aside. Once again, she wanted to end her relations.h.i.+p as Gu Yanran’s sister–this woman was so shameless that Gu Nianzhi couldn’t take it anymore… Huo Shaoheng separated from the crowd and headed in Gu Nianzhi’s direction. This direction was also the same as Gu Yanran’s, but she wasn’t feeling the typical ecstasy she did when she usually saw Huo Shaoheng walk over–it was like a drowning person finally getting a piece of driftwood thrown out to them from the sh.o.r.e. She would do anything to grab onto the driftwood in order to float back up. Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Shaoheng walk over and instinctively looked to her side. Yin s.h.i.+xiong and Ma Qiqi stood not too far behind her, so she quickly turned around to stand behind them. “Don’t turn, just stand there like that,” Gu Nianzhi quietly threatened them from behind their backs.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his lips raised, he saw Huo Shaoheng striding over expressionlessly. He quickly dropped his smile and also grew solemn. Hyo Shaoheng walked very quickly and calmly pa.s.sed by Gu Yanran before stopping in front of Yin s.h.i.+xiong. He didn’t look at Gu Yanran at all, not even a single glance in the corner of his eye.
Gu Yaran bit her lip, not willing to give up. “Huo Shao! You’re really not going to do anything about this? This incident… Nianzhi caused it all!” She knew it wasn’t actually Gu Nianzhi. At a moment like this, Huo Shaoheng would only get involved with helping Gu Yanran resolve the issue if she dragged Gu Nianzhi into it as well. Otherwise, she would also get Gu Nianzhi into this mess too… Although the two had broken up, Gu Yanran knew that men always have a bit of care for their ex-girlfriends. She truly had no other option and saw that Prime Minister Tan would be of no help, so she must pin her hopes on Huo Shaoheng helping her clean up the mess.
Huo Shaoheng turned around. He stared at Gu Yanran coldly and said in an even voice, “What did you say?” His voice wasn’t loud, nor was he stern, but the aura was so oppressive that it made one want to keep their head down.
Gu Yanran stared blankly at his handsome face. She said with grief, “Huo Shao, are you not going to bring justice when Nianzhi has done such a random and illegal thing?”
So, she was bent on pinning this mess on Gu Nianzhi? Cai Songyin didn’t say anything now, but she beamed as she saw Gu Yanran point the finger at Gu Nianzhi. She wanted nothing more but for the two sisters to fight, the more viciously the better. It would resolve both her and her daughter’s issues in one fell swoop…
Huo Shaoheng appeared annoyed and said icily, “Gu Yanran, speak only when you have evidence. Make sure not to say nonsense in front of me.”
“…Huo Shao, I didn’t…”
“Listen carefully; I never hit women. I always execute them directly,” Huo Shaoheng said coldly before turning around to ignore her. He glanced at Yin s.h.i.+xiong.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong got the hint to immediately take out his phone to call the police. “…Right, this is the Prime Minister’s official residence. There are people playing explicit videos here, please come to investigate it.”
