The wife of a powerful family: Huo Shao, how dare you flirt with me

Chapter 723: Chapter 717 was back

Even though her son had repeatedly told her that he would bring Ruo Chu back. However, she still felt uneasy when this person did not return. She could only accompany her mother-in-law and drink tea to cultivate her body and mind.

“There’s still no news from Nanchen? ”

Qi Ru’s face was bitter as she sighed, “not yet. We can only go from the media to their recent relationship. Zhenggang has always been cold towards me because of Nanchen’s matter. I too… ”

He always said that a man should put his career first, but Huo Zhenggang was also a double target. The reason why he was harsh towards Nanchen was because this was her child.

If it was that woman, would he still be willing to part with her?

Thinking about it made his heart ache, but he did not show it in front of the Old Lady.

But even if she did not say it, the Old Lady knew the grievance in her heart.

“You should relax too. You’ve endured so much back then. ” The Old Lady sighed and patted the back of her hand.

“There’s still a long way to go, Xiao Ru. If it weren’t for you, the Huo family would have had a fire in the backyard these years. Mom said that she would always stand on your and Nanchen’s side. As long as I’m here, no one can replace you. ”

The Old Lady stood up shakily, and Qi ru quickly helped her up.

“But this old lady’s life is limited. One day, she might die. Ruo Chu and Nanchen, the two children, will be in your hands. ”

“What are you talking about, mom? I know you’ve always treated me as your biological daughter. ”

Qi Ru was grateful to Old Lady Huo. It was said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not easy to get along with, but this mother-in-law had always treated her as her biological daughter.

Although the man did not love her, she received a lot of warmth from her mother-in-law.

“Daddy! AUNT! ”

Cheng Xi, who was lying on the balcony listlessly, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes. Before the nanny could react, he jumped down the stairs.

The dog followed behind him, wagging its tail and jumping down as well.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were still chatting at the side were startled by this sound. As expected, they saw a car slowly driving into the forest path not far away.

“Is Nanchen back? ”

“It should be. ” Qi Ru’s eyes lit up. She had already seen the familiar license plate number. She remembered that before her son left, he had said that he would return home after finding his wife.

Could this be… a success?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and saw that the housekeeper had already gone upstairs. “Madam, Old Lady, the Young Madam and the eldest young master have returned. ”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go down. ”

Qi Ru’s heart leaped with joy. She did not expect her son and daughter-in-law to be back today. She quickly helped the old lady down the stairs.

“Daddy! AUNT! ” Cheng Xi dashed out and hugged Gu Ruochu’s leg. His bright eyes were like the stars in the sky.

The dog circled around the two of them as if it was a child who had been wronged.

“Cheng Xi. ” Gu Ruochu reached out and picked up the child who was wearing overalls. A big smile bloomed on her face, “I haven’t seen you for a while. Cheng Xi has become even cuter. ”

He was a little shy. His fair and pretty face looked even more handsome and flushed.

Huo Nanchen did not say a word and reached out to hug him. He pinched his face, “aunt is back. It’s better not to call her aunt in the future. Call her mommy. ”

This nickname was a perfect match.

Then, he let the maid beside him hug him.

Gu Ruochu met his gaze and burst into laughter because he was so conflicted about his name. “Why are you being so calculative with a child? He can call her whatever he likes. ”

“Mm, I’ll listen to you alone from now on. ” He reached out to hold her wrist. The gentle light in his eyes was like a wave of spring water that could soothe a person’s heart.
