Ling Ruoke felt quite uneasy after Huo Qingfeng left.
A person is prone to overthinking, so she took Xiao Fu'an and planned to visit Pei Shi's house. With the boisterous Pei Shi around, her mood would improve considerably.
They had just locked the inner door and were about to close the security door when the Gu sisters appeared.
Ling Ruoke sighed, utterly disgusted by this kind of drama.
She hadn't told Qingfeng about the Gu sisters' situation. On one hand, she considered that Huo Qingfeng was so busy and shouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters; on the other hand, she always believed that it takes two to tango.
"Do you have something to say? If you're going to say those things again, I'm sorry, I don't want to hear it." She has a good temper, but she's not completely without one. If someone comes to provoke her time and time again, even a worm would probably get angry.
Huo Qingfeng's mother arrived suddenly and learned about her divorce. Was it these two sisters who leaked the information? Gu Miaomiao had always said that the Huo family wouldn't agree to it. Were they the ones who were pushing things along behind the scenes?
"If you dare to leave, I'll make a huge scene and let everyone know about your shameful deeds!" Gu Miaomiao shouted hurriedly when she saw that she seemed to be leaving.
That day, she was too slow to flag down a car and couldn't catch up with Ling Ruoke's vehicle. Fortunately, there weren't too many residential complexes nearby, and she thought that if she checked them one by one, she would eventually find it. However, each complex had so many households that it was impossible for her to find it. So she went back and asked someone for help, and that's how she finally found this place.
"Miaomiao, speak properly. You're here to talk to Ruoke, not to argue," Gu Zhenzhen said, pulling on Gu Miaomiao to dissuade her.
Ling Ruoke understood that Gu Miaomiao's words weren't just a threat. Someone as naive as her would truly stop at nothing to get Huo Qingfeng. And was the shrewd Gu Zhenzhen there to fuel the flames, or simply to watch the show?
In the end, she leaned against the door facing the two sisters, but showed no intention of letting them in. She wanted to get things straight in a few words; she wanted to find Pei-shi.
Gu Miaomiao looked around for a while, then looked at her and asked, "Does this house belong to Brother Huo?"
Ling Ruoke smiled, a hint of pleasure in her voice at what she was about to say. "This is my and Qingfeng's home. I almost forgot, there's also Fu'an. This is our family home."
"You shameless bastard!" Gu Miaomiao's face turned red with anger. "It must be because you insisted on moving in that Brother Huo had no choice but to give in!"
Ling Ruoke really wanted to swear, but her good manners made her suppress her anger repeatedly. The little one was clinging to her leg, so she couldn't swear at all!
"You can't bully my mommy!" The little guy let go of Ruoke's legs, opened his arms and stood in front of her like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Ling Ruoke felt comforted; at least the child was on her side. She pulled the child back to her side and patted his little head. She looked up at the two sisters.
"If thinking this way makes you feel better, then think that way. But when it comes to shamelessness, I think I'm far inferior to you."
Before she could angrily retort, Ruoke continued.
"I admit you knew Qingfeng before him, and our elders often joked about you two being a couple. But Qingfeng has never liked you. He chose me, and you're the third party who came between us. But why do you always act so self-righteously and defiantly towards me, as if I'm the third party? Just because you like Qingfeng, does that mean you can be so unreasonable? Just because you like Qingfeng, does that mean you can keep slandering others like this? Will you be able to kill and commit arson one day to get Qingfeng, and then do so with a clear conscience and without any shame?"
"You, you're talking nonsense! I would never kill or set fires, I wouldn't!" Gu Miaomiao wanted to retort loudly, but she didn't know how.
Ling Ruoke kept reminding herself that she was still a little girl, just someone who didn't understand many things. However, she didn't know how to reason with her in a way that would make her understand.
"I hope you won't. But Gu Miaomiao, go back and think about it carefully. If Qingfeng were your boyfriend, and I kept coming to your door to provoke and cause trouble, how would you feel?"
"I...I..." Gu Miaomiao was at a loss for words. After holding it in for a long time, she finally shouted again, "Brother Huo isn't your boyfriend! You're the one who's shamelessly clinging to Brother Huo!"
Ling Ruoke was furious. She rubbed her temples, really not wanting to talk to Gu Miaomiao anymore. "Think what you want, please move aside, I want to leave."
"I won't let you pass! I won't let you pass!" Gu Miaomiao threw a tantrum, blocking her way. "I won't let you pass until you give me back my Brother Huo!"
So, in her heart, Huo Qingfeng was just an object that could be transferred!
Ling Ruoke's composure vanished in an instant. Her eyes widened as she glared at Gu Miaomiao, emphasizing each word: "Listen carefully, Huo Qingfeng chose me, and that's a fact no one can change. Even without me, he wouldn't have chosen you, because you're just a childish and ill-mannered brat!"
"Slap—" Gu Miaomiao gritted her teeth and slapped Ruoke hard across the face.
Ling Ruoke staggered backward after being hit, almost knocking down Fu An who was standing next to her.
Just then, Xiao Fu'an shouted, "You're not allowed to bully my mommy!"
The child, with strength from who knows where, charged forward like a locomotive and gave it a hard push.
"Ah—" Gu Miaomiao was standing by the stairs, wearing high heels. Caught off guard by Fu An's push, she screamed and tumbled down the stairs.
"Miao Miao!" Gu Zhenzhen cried out as her outstretched hand failed to grab her, and she hurriedly ran down the stairs.
Ling Ruoke caught Fu'an, who had stumbled and fallen, her mind blank. She was breathing heavily, almost unable to catch her breath. After a while, she remembered to chase after them.
Gu Miaomiao was standing on the side of the stair railing. After rolling down the first step, she fell directly onto the first-floor floor from the corner.
Ling Ruoke ran to the corner and saw Gu Zhenzhen holding Gu Miaomiao, shaking her body and calling her name. Blood slowly flowed down Gu Miaomiao's head, winding a red trail.
Trembling, Ling Ruoke pulled her phone from her pocket and, with trembling hands, dialed 120 for emergency medical assistance. "I...I have someone here who is seriously injured...at..."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Ruoke walked down the last step of the stairs, her legs trembling. "How...is she?"
She was so frightened that she could barely make a sound, and every word was difficult to utter.
"Don't pretend to be kind, it's all your fault! Ling Ruoke, if anything happens to Miaomiao, it's all your fault!" Gu Zhenzhen shouted at her with bloodshot eyes.
“Wah—” Upstairs, Fu’an burst into tears.
