Yi Mi

Chapter 207 The Impossible

She was unwilling, even more so, to have her efforts of so long yield no benefit.

Xu Ruowei looked at Shen Xizhou with pitiful eyes, contemplating how she could persuade him to change his mind, what words she could use.

How she longed to erupt in anger, to question Shen Xizhou, why, by what right did he treat her this way?

She had done so much, for him, she had done everything. Yet, with An Nuan's appearance, everything had changed.

What on earth had happened during this time?

Though she wanted to question him, she ultimately held back. Her eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "Xizhou, I did not harm your parents."

"Heh, Yan Bai investigated. Tell me, should I believe you?"

Xu Ruowei's hands clenched tightly. No wonder she had received no news; it turned out he had sent Yan Bai to investigate.

She had considered bribing Yan Bai, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't make him serve her wholeheartedly.

It seemed Yan Bai was behind all of this.

Indeed, Yan Bai was a man who could not be kept.

"Xizhou, An Nuan's backer is Nangong Jin. Nangong Jin's influence is immense. If he wanted to pin events that never happened onto me, there would be nothing I could do."

Shen Xizhou looked at Xu Ruowei in surprise. He hadn't expected her to utter such shameless words at this point.

His brows furrowed slightly.

His gaze towards Xu Ruowei was filled with disdain and disgust, and he said coldly, "Ruowei, what you said is impossible."

"Yan Bai would never betray me."

"You're saying this was all Nangong Jin's doing? But the evidence and videos clearly explain everything. Your hypothesis will never come to pass."

"I have seen those videos."

"I know everything about your dealings with Wang Liang and Xia Wanqing."

"I brought Wang Liang and Xia Wanqing here to confront you. Therefore, you have no room left to argue."

Xu Ruowei's face suddenly turned ashen. Shen Xizhou had brought Wang Liang and Xia Wanqing to confront her. Xia Wanqing and Wang Liang knew what she had done.

"Also, you bribed someone by my side, and you will never see that person again."

Shen Xizhou said icily.

Xu Ruowei's expression became extremely grim. So many things had happened tonight, and she knew nothing of it.

She had been preparing a surprise for Shen Xizhou.

But instead of receiving a surprise, she was terrified by the news he brought.

She leaned directly against the wall, preventing herself from falling.

She struggled to hold herself up, her breathing becoming ragged.

Yet, she remained unwilling.

She bit her lip tightly, looking at Shen Xizhou, and cried, "I know now, no matter what I say, you won't believe me. But, Xizhou, consider all that I've done for you, losing the chance to be a mother for you, and even ruining my once healthy body for you."

"Xizhou, An Nuan is sincere towards you. But what has she done for you?"

"I did so much for you, I almost lost my life."

Xu Ruowei knelt on the ground, her voice choked with sobs, "Xizhou, please, just let me stay by your side. Without you, I will die."

Xu Ruowei produced a dagger from somewhere and held it to her throat, saying with profound sadness, "Xizhou, if you don't want me anymore, then I will die."

"Without you, nothing else matters."

She kept waiting, waiting for Shen Xizhou to tell her to stop, that she couldn't die. That she could still remain by Shen Xizhou's side.

But a long time passed, and there was no movement.

Shen Xizhou, however, said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, we are no longer related. Your life or death is none of my concern."

Hearing Shen Xizhou's cold and heartless words, Xu Ruowei let out a cold laugh.

Heh, she meant nothing to him.

"Xu Ruowei, you should be content with some things. If it weren't for that, you probably wouldn't even have the chance to stand before me now."

Xu Ruowei knew that whatever she said now was useless.

She directly made a cut, and her entire body collapsed onto the ground.

She weakly said, "Xizhou, I... I really can't leave you. If I leave you, my life has no meaning."

"I don't know why those people framed me. I won't explain further."

"Because I know very well that any explanation from me will be futile."

Shen Xizhou looked at Yan Bai and said, "Call a doctor quickly."

Yan Bai immediately complied.

Shen Xizhou looked at Xu Ruowei, his heart wavering slightly. Could it be, as Xu Ruowei said, that there were many misunderstandings?

He paused, then finally crouched down and embraced Xu Ruowei, "Ruowei, there's really no need for you to do this. Without me, you can find someone better." His tone softened considerably.

Xu Ruowei was overjoyed.

It seemed it had worked.

"Xizhou, whether you believe me or not, I truly did not do those things."

"You certainly won't believe me if I explain now, but I have no demands. I just want to stay by your side."

"Just being by your side is enough. I can give up the identity of Mrs. Shen."

"As long as I can remain by your side quietly, just like before."

Xu Ruowei's voice was filled with pity as she softly said, "Xizhou, you can be with An Nuan and be happy for a lifetime."

"But Xizhou, please don't drive me away. I just want to watch you quietly."

"I will do my part and will not interfere with you and An Nuan."

"If you think I shouldn't appear before An Nuan, then I will try my best to hide and keep myself out of your and An Nuan's sight. Is that acceptable?"

"Xizhou, I just want to accompany you well. I need nothing else."

"Like before, An Nuan is still the one you cherish most in your heart. I will still be by your side, helping you with matters and documents."

"Ruowei..."

Listening to Xu Ruowei's humble words, he pondered, Ruowei was so kind, she couldn't possibly have done such things.

Should he believe Ruowei?

Was it truly appropriate to keep Xu Ruowei by his side?

"Xizhou, please. I just want to be by your side. I ask for nothing else."

"Ruowei, it's impossible. Given what you've done, you have no chance to remain by my side."

"Ruowei, please leave."

"What you did in the past will be forgotten."

After Shen Xizhou finished speaking, he left directly, not even sparing her a glance.

Shen Xizhou departed, and Xu Ruowei, lying on the ground, looked at Shen Xizhou with eyes full of resentment.

Heh, leave. She had sacrificed so much, done so much, and he simply said, "Please leave."

Did he think he could get rid of her this way?

No, impossible.
