Xu Ruo Wei sat in the hotel, crying heartbrokenly.
Wang Liang, watching from the side, felt his heart ache.
"Ruo Wei, what's wrong? You were fine yesterday, weren't you?" Wang Liang said with deep concern.
"Wang Liang, Shen Xi Zhou seems to know what I've done." Xu Ruo Wei exclaimed loudly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Liang froze.
"He knows everything? How did he find out?"
"Those things were done so secretly, there's no way he could know."
Seeing Xu Ruo Wei crying like a drowned rat, Wang Liang's heart ached immensely.
Wang Liang cautiously said, "Did you do something that exposed a flaw, leading to this outcome?"
"Wang Liang, shut up, what are you talking about? What did I expose to make Shen Xi Zhou suspicious, to make him know about those things?"
"I've been desperately hiding those things."
"More than anyone, I know, and I understand, that Shen Xi Zhou cannot know about those things."
She glared at Wang Liang and questioned, "Did you say something carelessly, or did you betray me to gain some benefit?"
"Wang Liang, you've been threatening me, saying you'd let Shen Xi Zhou know my true face. You're behind all this, aren't you?"
The more she spoke, the more Xu Ruo Wei became convinced that Wang Liang was responsible for this. It seemed there was no need for further verification.
"Ruo Wei, how can you doubt me?" Wang Liang asked, his face filled with disbelief. "I schemed against Xia Wan Qing for you, I did so many things for you. And you say something like this."
"Is this how you see me in your heart?"
"Wang Liang, no, that's not what I meant."
"Because yesterday was fine, but today Shen Xi Zhou said those things. I don't know what happened."
"What I said just now was out of my anxiety; I spoke those words too quickly."
"What?" Hearing Xu Ruo Wei's words, Wang Liang's expression changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "You mean, Shen Xi Zhou knows everything?"
Xu Ruo Wei nodded, but still added, "However, he hasn't investigated you, so he probably doesn't know about your existence yet."
"Wang Liang, find a way to deal with An Nuan."
"As long as An Nuan is gone, it will be fine."
"As long as you find a way to shift all those things onto An Nuan, I can still return to Shen Xi Zhou's side."
"That way, you can continue to live this wonderful life."
"Ruo Wei, why don't we just let it go? I've achieved some success now, why don't you be with me?" Wang Liang said somewhat agitatedly. In fact, he noticed that the current Xu Ruo Wei was very different from before. He almost didn't recognize her.
Hearing this, Xu Ruo Wei's expression changed drastically. Seeing her hand tightly held by Wang Liang, she wished she could immediately shake off his hand, but for the sake of future plans, she ultimately held back.
She looked at Wang Liang and said pleadingly, "Wang Liang, it's not the time yet. I want more."
"Ruo Wei, have you fallen in love with Shen Xi Zhou?"
"Yes." In front of Wang Liang, Xu Ruo Wei was direct and did not hide anything.
"Ruo Wei, you said you would..."
Xu Ruo Wei looked at Wang Liang, sobbing slightly, "Wang Liang, you said you hoped I would be happy. Now I am very happy with Shen Xi Zhou."
"Do you want me to be unhappy?"
"Wang Liang, you..." As Xu Ruo Wei spoke, tears began to fall, and she cried bitterly.
Wang Liang watched, his heart aching. He said softly, "If you want to be with Shen Xi Zhou, then be with him."
Xu Ruo Wei seemed to recall something and looked at Wang Liang, saying, "Wang Liang, you told me before that An Nuan would surely die. But why is An Nuan appearing before me without any harm?"
"Most importantly, she now has Nan Gong Jin as a backer?"
"Wang Liang, did you do something?"
"Ruo Wei, no, no. I didn't do anything."
"That day, I followed An Nuan and saw her jump with my own eyes."
"It was truly a sure death. But I didn't expect her to be so lucky to survive until now."
"I really don't know."
"Is that so?" Xu Ruo Wei questioned him with disbelief.
Wang Liang anxiously said, "I was also involved in those matters. If I were to expose them, I would suffer as well."
"Ruo Wei, do you think I would be that foolish?"
"Oh, right. I also encountered Ji Wen Yun that day and was troubled by him. He seemed to know something."
"But it's strange, Ji Wen Yun was so good to Xia Wan Qing. I don't know what happened recently, he's become much colder to Xia Wan Qing."
"Ji Wen Yun seems to have remembered something."
"What? Ji Wen Yun?" If Ji Wen Yun had recovered his memory, things would be even more troublesome.
However, since Ji Wen Yun wasn't making any significant moves now, it meant he hadn't fully recalled yet.
"Wang Liang, you promised me that An Nuan would disappear forever."
"You failed to do it before, but this time, you should succeed."
"Wang Liang, you don't have any evidence against me anymore, do you? If you do, destroy it immediately. I can't withstand any more storms now."
"Wang Liang, you said you would make me happy. And being with Shen Xi Zhou is my happiness."
"I believe you will keep your word."
"Ruo Wei, I will keep my word."
"You wait. In a few days, An Nuan won't be so at peace. All your current troubles will vanish like smoke."
"Ruo Wei, I will make An Nuan pay back every bit of suffering you've endured."
"No, she should pay a price a hundred or a thousand times worse."
"I won't allow anyone to hurt you."
Hearing Wang Liang's words, Xu Ruo Wei's eyes were filled with a smile. This was exactly what she had been waiting for.
Heh, this Wang Liang is truly foolish. But even if he's foolish, he can do many things for her, so he's somewhat useful.
"Wang Liang, you are too good to me. Thank you."
"Without you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
...
In the coffee shop.
An Nuan looked at Li Tian, filled with surprise. She had been unable to find Li Tian and Zhou Chu Mu, and she never expected to meet Li Tian here. Heaven was still kind to her.
When she received Li Tian's call asking her to meet at the coffee shop, she thought she must not have rested well recently, leading to such a hallucination.
Seeing Li Tian before her, she finally confirmed that it wasn't a dream; it was all real.
Her face was beaming with smiles. It's so good that Li Tian is still here.
These days, she had been thinking about what happened to Li Tian and Zhou Chu Mu.
However, she couldn't get any information despite her inquiries.
A bad feeling had arisen in her heart, but she had been afraid to face it.
Now, the heart that had been hanging in mid-air could finally be put to rest.
