Shen Xizhou felt a pang of regret for a moment.
But remembering what An Nuan had said, all of this was his doing.
Thinking back now, he suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous.
"Xizhou, there must be some misunderstanding. Someone must have wanted to frame me for this."
"Xizhou, don't you know what kind of person I am? Don't you trust me anymore? I would never do such a malicious thing."
"I love you so much, I love you so much that I would give up my own life."
"And, don't you remember? Your parents liked me so much back then."
"At that time, you wanted to be with An Nuan, and your parents were unwilling. It was I who stepped forward to help you and An Nuan. Xizhou, have you forgotten all this?"
"For you, I've always stayed by your side, helping you. I thought, as long as you were happy, that's all that mattered, so I've always been working hard for you. I even blessed you and An Nuan."
"If you and An Nuan had been happy, I wouldn't have come forward. But later, I realized that An Nuan was simply not good enough for you, which is why I stepped in."
"Xizhou, have you forgotten all the things I've done for you?"
Listening to Xu Ruowei's words, Shen Xizhou hesitated.
Yes, Xu Ruowei had done so much for him. How could he doubt her because of someone's words or a video?
Perhaps, as she said, she was misunderstood.
It was just that, after it happened, a seed of doubt was deeply planted in his heart, and he couldn't shake it off.
"Ruowei, you should rest well."
"I'm going back to the company. I still have work to do." Shen Xizhou forcefully pulled his hand away from Xu Ruowei's.
He turned and left, giving Xu Ruowei no hope.
"Xizhou."
Xu Ruowei completely panicked. She didn't know what Shen Xizhou would do, but she had a thought: she couldn't let him leave. If he left, she would be completely finished.
Her only goal now was to keep Shen Xizhou, to not let him go.
She had to explain clearly, to make Shen Xizhou believe that she was misunderstood, that she was innocent.
Xu Ruowei wanted to get up and chase after Shen Xizhou, but she was unable to.
She could only watch helplessly as Shen Xizhou disappeared from her sight.
The door was slammed shut.
Xu Ruowei's pitiful pretense vanished, her face contorted with rage. She threw everything she could get her hands on.
She screamed in anger.
At this moment, Xu Ruowei had lost all semblance of kindness and innocence. She was like a madwoman.
She was smashing and destroying things wildly.
She glared fiercely ahead. An Nuan, you destroyed the happiness that originally belonged to me. Do you think that by doing this, by making Shen Xizhou not believe me, you can return to Shen Xizhou's side?
No, impossible.
Even if Shen Xizhou misunderstands me, even if Shen Xizhou is disgusted.
But in this life, I will still hold onto him tightly.
An Nuan, in this life, you will never get Shen Xizhou.
You and Shen Xizhou will never be together.
As long as I am here, you and Shen Xizhou will have no future.
If I, Xu Ruowei, cannot have him, An Nuan, you won't get him either. The man I cannot have, I would rather destroy him than give him to you.
An Nuan, just you wait. I will make you regret it.
You said I should just disappear obediently, but why did you have to come back?
Since you've returned, you should have been obedient and done nothing, could do nothing. But you, you had to shatter this peace.
An Nuan, if you mess with me, I will make you suffer a terrible fate.
You never won against me before, and now, you will definitely not win against me.
As long as I am here, you will never get your chance to shine.
An Nuan, I will keep you under my shadow for a lifetime.
...
An Nuan arrived at the location and waited for a long time.
She had intended to go rest, but she received a text message from Li Tian.
She was overjoyed. She had returned and hadn't seen Li Tian or Zhou Chumu yet. She wondered how they were doing now.
They must be very happy together, right?
Inside the private room.
There was a movement at the door. As An Nuan stood up to greet them, she realized that the person who had arrived was not Li Tian or Zhou Chumu. It was Xu Ruowei.
Why was Xu Ruowei here?
Li Tian was the one who had invited her.
"Xu Ruowei, what are you doing here?" An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei warily. She didn't want any further involvement with Xu Ruowei. As she stood up to leave, she discovered that the door had already been locked by Xu Ruowei.
Looking at Xu Ruowei, An Nuan's nerves tensed.
Xu Ruowei was a lunatic.
She would do anything to achieve her goals.
"An Nuan, why am I here? Have you forgotten? I'm the one who invited you out."
Xu Ruowei said smugly. She walked step by step towards An Nuan, reaching out to touch An Nuan's face, but An Nuan dodged her.
"An Nuan, why are you so foolish? Li Tian and Zhou Chumu don't know you've returned. How could she have invited you to meet?"
"Moreover, you came after receiving the message. Didn't you even consider calling?"
"Hmm, you're truly as foolish as ever."
"Xu Ruowei, I have nothing to say to you." An Nuan said, attempting to leave immediately.
Yes, Xu Ruowei was right. She had been too happy, to the point of not thinking or verifying the authenticity of the message.
An Nuan prepared to leave, but Xu Ruowei directly blocked her path, grabbed her hand, and forcefully dragged her, throwing her into a corner.
"An Nuan, tell me, do you think I would let you leave so easily after going to such lengths to lure you here?"
"My goal hasn't been achieved yet. Do you think you can leave?" Xu Ruowei said triumphantly, looking at An Nuan with a ferociously distorted smile.
An Nuan kept backing away. She forced herself to calm down. She couldn't lose her composure now.
Moreover, at a time like this, she had to remain even calmer.
However, Xu Ruowei's eyes were terrifying. She looked at An Nuan with bloodshot eyes, as if she wanted to tear her apart.
She keenly noticed that Xu Ruowei was holding a fruit knife in her hand.
An Nuan watched the person in front of her vigilantly. It seemed Xu Ruowei had come prepared.
She had never imagined someone could be so shameless.
Seeing that An Nuan had noticed the fruit knife, Xu Ruowei didn't bother to hide it. Instead, she took it out and waved it in front of An Nuan, saying with a bloodthirsty tone, "Tell me, if I disfigure your face, you won't be able to do anything, will you?"
