"An Nuan, how dare you say that?" Xu Ruowei looked at An Nuan in disbelief. She couldn't believe An Nuan would call Shen Xizhou trash, discarded trash. Who did An Nuan think she was?
She reached out to pull An Nuan's hair, but An Nuan dodged her. At that moment, An Nuan slapped her across the face and said coldly, "If you want to frame me, you need to see if you're even qualified."
"Not everyone is born to be framed by you."
"An Nuan, you dare to lay a hand on me." Xu Ruowei was shocked, completely unable to accept it.
"You wait, I'll make you regret this."
Suddenly, a voice cut in.
An Nuan's brow furrowed. The person who arrived was Xia Wanqing.
She felt utterly helpless. Her luck was truly unmatched. Not only did she run into Xu Ruowei, but she also ran into Xia Wanqing. Her luck was indeed terrible.
When Xu Ruowei saw Xia Wanqing appear, she acted as if she had found a savior. She quickly linked her arm with Xia Wanqing's and, worried that An Nuan would escape, immediately blocked An Nuan's path.
This was a rare opportunity, and she had to make An Nuan look foolish.
"Wanqing, you've been here from the beginning, haven't you?"
"So you saw clearly just now when An Nuan insulted me and hit me."
Xia Wanqing glanced at Xu Ruowei. She hated Xu Ruowei and didn't want to speak for her. But Xu Ruowei's target was An Nuan. Compared to Xu Ruowei, she hated An Nuan even more.
An Nuan's existence had always made Ji Wenyun keep her at an arm's length.
Lately, Ji Wenyun's attitude towards her had been peculiar.
Although Ji Wenyun hadn't said anything, he was deliberately distancing himself from her.
She glared at An Nuan with deep resentment. The instigator was standing right in front of her, how could she let her go?
This was an opportunity delivered straight to her. If she didn't seize it, she would be letting herself down.
Xu Ruowei wasn't worried that Xia Wanqing wouldn't side with her. She knew better than anyone. Xia Wanqing's hatred for An Nuan was no less than hers. She was confident that Xia Wanqing would definitely be on her side.
Xia Wanqing looked at An Nuan and said with conviction, "Yes, I saw everything clearly just now. An Nuan did insult you."
"Don't worry, I'm on your side in this."
An Nuan scoffed as she watched the two of them collude. Heh, it was truly laughable that these two were putting on a united front in front of her.
To deal with her, two people who were originally at odds could now stand together. Thinking about it, it was indeed a bit amusing.
"An Nuan, how about that? This is the evidence."
Xu Ruowei looked at An Nuan triumphantly, a smile on her face. "Oh, right. You're probably going to be disappointed. The surveillance cameras around here are all broken."
"If you don't believe me, go ask now. That way, you can give up hope."
An Nuan simply watched the two of them, remaining silent.
She knew that for Xu Ruowei to say such a thing meant that she had already taken care of those matters.
No wonder Xu Ruowei dared to target her so unscrupulously.
"Heh." An Nuan chuckled, unable to help but admire her.
Faced with An Nuan's contemptuous look, Xu Ruowei's anger grew. She glared at An Nuan and said loudly, "Kneel down, apologize to me, and then withdraw from the competition and give me the opportunity."
"If you can do that, then I'll let you off."
"If you can do that, then I'll let you off." It was as if she had gained some great advantage.
How could she say such a thing so calmly?
Did she think that everyone had to do as she said?
Perhaps some people would comply because Xu Ruowei had Shen Xizhou as her backing. Perhaps, in Xu Ruowei's eyes, she was an easy target, which was why she could say such things so recklessly.
Perhaps, if it were someone else, they would obediently listen, but she wouldn't.
Xu Ruowei's expression, seeing the smile on An Nuan's face, made her unable to stand still.
"An Nuan, what is it? Do you think what I'm saying is funny?"
"Do you think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
An Nuan frowned slightly. She was extremely annoyed by Xu Ruowei's persistence.
Most importantly, more and more people were gathering around, and many were starting to point and whisper.
Just then, An Nuan saw Nangong Jin standing not far away.
She prayed in her heart that Nangong Jin wouldn't come.
But her prayers were completely useless. Nangong Jin still walked over under everyone's watchful eyes and directly grabbed her hand.
She wanted to break free, but she couldn't. In the end, she gave up.
Xia Wanqing and Xu Ruowei's faces turned ashen the moment they saw Nangong Jin.
Xu Ruowei's face darkened even more. Why would Nangong Jin appear?
She had deliberately chosen a time when Nangong Jin wasn't in the company.
Today, Nangong Jin shouldn't have been at the company, so why was he here now?
Had she been deceived?
Just as Xu Ruowei didn't know what to do, Shen Xizhou appeared. She clung to Shen Xizhou's arm as if she had found a savior, her face full of grievance, and said, "Xizhou, I didn't expect, I didn't expect An Nuan to frame me."
"An Nuan called me, saying she had something important to tell me, so I came."
"But when I arrived, An Nuan kept insulting me."
"I know my proposal didn't pass this time, and An Nuan's did. I was very happy for her, but she used this to mock me."
"She also said that without Wang Xuerou, I'm nothing."
Xu Ruowei said pitifully, tears streaming down her face.
"An Nuan said I stole you."
"She said you are trash she doesn't want, and if I want you, I should take you and not be an eyesore in front of her."
By the end, Xu Ruowei could barely speak. She choked back sobs and said, "Xizhou, I don't know what happened. Why would An Nuan say such hurtful things?"
"Xizhou, tell me, is it my fault?"
"Because of me, An Nuan said such things."
"If it weren't for me, perhaps An Nuan wouldn't have said such unpleasant words."
"She doesn't love you anymore, that's her business. But how could she slander you like this?"
"Xizhou, in my heart, you are the most perfect and the best."
"I can't accept that someone would call someone as good as you trash."
"Xizhou, I... I really don't know what to do."
"Do I have to leave you for her to stop saying that?"
"If that's the case, then I'll leave."
