Chapter 766

“Young Madam, there’s nothing much. You should eat first. The Madam said that she’s not feeling well today, so she won’t be coming down to eat. ”

“Mother is sick? ”

Mother Zhang naturally could not say anything but nodded. Gu Ruochu saw through the clues and exchanged a glance with Huo Nanchen.

“Let’s eat first. ” Huo Nanchen’s expression darkened as he scooped some rice for her. After dinner, he called Huo Zijun over and left Huo Zirui in the living room.

Gu Ruochu sat on the Sofa and subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach.

“When did you get pregnant? ” He leaned back on the chair as his expressionless face revealed a strange expression.

“I don’t think we’re close enough to talk about this. ” Gu Ruochu had always had a bad impression of Huo Zirui. Her grandmother-in-law would have given him some face in front of her, but there was no need for that now.

Huo zirui looked a little embarrassed but he raised his head with a sour expression, “you women sure know how to hold a grudge. ”

Gu Ruochu could not be bothered with him as she continued to sit on the sofa and drink the water that Huo Nanchen had just poured.

Qi Ru had always been in good health. She did not come down for dinner today either. She must have felt uncomfortable because of something.

The only person in this house who could be uncomfortable with Qi ru was huo zhenggang.

Before she could think too much, Huo Nanchen had already come down from upstairs. She had just stood up when she realized that his face was extremely gloomy.

Huo Zijun had been following behind her the entire time. He said, “brother, don’t be rash. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Nanchen grabbed Huo Zirui by the collar and pulled him to his feet. Huo zirui returned to his senses and met his cold, dark eyes. “brother, you… ”

“You’re such a good-for-nothing! How dare you help that woman hurt mom? ”

Gu Ruoyun rarely saw huo Nanchen lose his temper like he did today. He grabbed Huo Zirui by his collar and threw punches at him.

Gu Ruochu’s heart skipped a beat as she watched them fight in the living room.

“What right do you have to blame mom? You have no idea what mom has been through. ” Huo Nanchen tugged at Huo Zirui’s collar and his cold eyes were filled with fear. “I must hit you today. ”

Huo Zirui did not even have the chance or ability to retaliate. Huo Zijun felt his heart skip a beat and quickly ran over to hug his brother. “enough, enough. It’s enough to teach third brother a lesson. ”

Huo Zijun was beaten until he fell to the ground. He touched the corner of his mouth and saw a shocking bloodstain.

“enough, stop hitting me. ” Gu Ruochu was afraid that he would not be able to control his strength and quickly ran over to hug the man’s waist. “Grandma is still at home. If you continue to hit me like this, you’ll attract her attention sooner or later. ”

As soon as she came over, he had already subconsciously reached out to hold her in his arms and looked at her stomach.

“I know, don’t be afraid. ”

Huo Nanchen really did not want to beat him to death. He only coldly warned her, “If those punches haven’t woken you up yet, I don’t mind hitting you a few more times. ”

Huo Zirui stood up and did not say anything. He silently looked at Huo Nanchen before leaving the house.

Looking at his back, there was an additional sense of dejection and desolation.

“Hubby, why did you suddenly hit him? ”Noo matter what, he was still huoNanchenn’s younger brother.HuooNanchenn was not someone who would easily lose his temper.

“Are you scared? ” His originally tense jaw softened a little. Only then did he notice the worried look in Ruo Chu’s eyes when she looked at him.

Gu Ruochu shook her head.

Huo Zijun immediately repeated what Huo Zirui had said to Qi ru and briefly recounted the scene.
