This is, in fact, a good thing, isn't it?
Because they were greedy, she was able to scheme against them.
Shen Shuhui hesitated for a moment, then after a long pause, she spoke, "Daughter, are all the things you've said true?"
Xu Ruowei replied with a face full of smiles, "Mother, of course everything I've said is true. Mother, I am your good daughter. Don't you still believe my words? Although I'm not your biological daughter, I've been by your side for so many years. I will never forget your nurturing kindness."
Shen Shuhui nodded, clearly touched by Xu Ruowei's words.
However, what she didn't see was that when she turned away, the smile on Xu Ruowei's face never reached her eyes.
If one looked closer, they could see that the smiles in her eyes were all calculating.
Shen Shuhui walked up to the Xu family members and said some things. But the Xu family members clearly didn't believe her.
It's unknown what Shen Shuhui finally said that convinced them, causing them to leave immediately.
Xu Ruowei hadn't expected things to proceed so smoothly. It was evident that Fu Jie still had some use.
Fu Jie looked at the direction where the Xu family had disappeared, his face filled with deep confusion. What had happened in the years he was away?
How much hardship had Xu Ruowei endured?
The Xu family had clearly treated Xu Ruowei poorly.
As Fu Jie was about to ask Xu Ruowei, Yuwen Hao reappeared once more.
Xu Ruowei had thought that once the Xu family left, all her troubles would be over. But what she hadn't expected was for Yuwen Hao to show up.
Her face turned deathly pale. Recalling what Yuwen Hao had said last time, she was truly terrified.
If Yuwen Hao were to say something reckless in front of Fu Jie now, would all her efforts be in vain?
Xu Ruowei couldn't help but step back. She didn't understand why these people kept appearing. Why couldn't they just leave her alone?
Yuwen Hao glanced at Xu Ruowei, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
Xu Ruowei trembled all over. She even wondered what Yuwen Hao truly wanted.
Did he really want to destroy her to be happy?
Xu Ruowei watched Yuwen Hao warily. However, to her surprise, Yuwen Hao completely ignored her and walked directly up to Fu Jie.
At this moment, Xu Ruowei's face became extremely flustered. She finally realized that Yuwen Hao wasn't after her from the beginning; he was after Fu Jie.
Did Yuwen Hao want to ruin her to be happy?
But when she wanted to intervene, she found that she had no opportunity at all.
It's unknown what Yuwen Hao said to Fu Jie before he left directly.
However, Xu Ruowei sensed that after Yuwen Hao left, Fu Jie's gaze towards her had changed.
A bad premonition began to stir in her heart. Had Yuwen Hao said something he shouldn't have?
Thinking of this, she started to feel anxious.
She looked at Fu Jie, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately held back.
She thought about what Shen Xizhou had said to her when he sent her out. She had been pondering its meaning for a long time.
Now, thinking about it carefully, and considering the people who had appeared around her, she finally understood. So this was what Shen Xizhou had meant. And she, being so naive, had thought that Shen Xizhou might just be testing her. Thinking back now, it was truly a huge joke.
Fu Jie's gaze fell upon Xu Ruowei, filled with shock, bewilderment, and even more so, disbelief.
He even wondered if what he had just heard was true.
Xu Ruowei became somewhat anxious. All of this was Shen Xizhou's ruthless scheme against her.
At this moment, she was even contemplating what to do next.
Fu Jie's gaze lingered on Xu Ruowei for a long time, then he shook his head, as if he had figured something out.
He had been away from her for so many years. She had gone through so much during this time. Therefore, it was understandable that she would do such things.
Thinking this, Fu Jie's previous doubts completely vanished. In fact, he even felt a sense of self-reproach.
How could he have had such thoughts?
Even if things were as that person had said, and those things were indeed done by her, she must have had her reasons for doing so.
And he, by what right, should he question her?
All these years, she had been facing everything alone. She had it hard enough. And him? Did he really need to make things difficult for her now? Did he really have to doubt her based on the words of a stranger?
Xu Ruowei was constantly pondering how to deal with this situation.
But what she didn't know was that at this very moment, Fu Jie was filled with self-hatred, as if he wanted to kill himself.
Just as Xu Ruowei was at a loss for what to do, Fu Jie stepped forward and embraced her, saying, "Ruowei, I'm sorry. It's all my fault these past years, causing you to suffer so much."
"Ruowei, I will not believe what that person said."
Xu Ruowei, who had been worrying, looked at Fu Jie in disbelief, even doubting if she was hallucinating.
Xu Ruowei's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled. She sobbed in Fu Jie's embrace.
Fu Jie thought that his previous doubts had hurt Xu Ruowei. However, he didn't know that Xu Ruowei was actually overjoyed.
Listening to Xu Ruowei's mournful sobs, Fu Jie felt immense heartache. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would make her happy.
No matter what outsiders said, he would not believe them.
In his opinion, those people were simply trying to harm Xu Ruowei.
Although he didn't know who they were, he wouldn't fall for their tricks.
Suddenly, Fu Jie realized that his mission from now on was to protect Xu Ruowei at all costs, preventing her from suffering any harm.
He thought that by returning this time and encountering Xu Ruowei, and learning these things, he definitely wouldn't stand idly by.
This must be the purpose of his return.
He had lost an opportunity to protect her, failing to keep her safe. Now, he would not let such a thing happen to her again.
He thought that even if it cost him his life, he would protect Xu Ruowei, ensuring she wouldn't suffer even the slightest harm.
Suddenly, Fu Jie understood why he had returned to the country.
Very quickly, he took Xu Ruowei away from that place of trouble.
There were still many things he hadn't figured out, and he needed to get to the bottom of them.
Fu Jie had originally intended to send her back to the Xu family, but Xu Ruowei cried, saying she didn't want to go back. Recalling what had just happened, he ultimately abandoned the idea of sending Xu Ruowei back. Instead, he comforted her and settled her into a newly acquired house.
He thought that her unwillingness to face the Xu family meant that they had hurt her.
