"Li Tian, do you really think An Nuan considers you a sister?"
"No, no. In fact, An Nuan has only been using you. It's just that her methods are more sophisticated than mine, which is why you've been so willing."
"Actually, the most terrifying person is An Nuan, not me."
"I'm just a victim, just calculated by An Nuan."
"I was just too naive, too kind, that's why I suffered all this."
"Li Tian, you wouldn't be foolishly tricked and still get what you want, would you?"
"Xu Ruowei, shut up. Don't you feel satisfied unless I hit you and my palm lands on your face again? Do you need me to act before you'll be quiet?"
"Will you finally behave?"
Li Tian hadn't intended to retort, but the words of the person before her were utterly disgusting.
She couldn't believe this Xu Ruowei was saying such demeaning things right in front of her. Did she really think everyone would believe whatever she said? She overestimated herself.
Li Tian walked directly up to Xu Ruowei, and without hesitation, slapped her. She said coldly, "Since you want to be hit so badly, I'll grant your wish."
"I've met people who want money, who want things, but I've never seen someone so deserving of a beating. This is truly the first time."
"Of course, if you have this idea, I will certainly satisfy you."
"Although this hand landing on your face will somewhat dirty my hand, I'm a person who habitually 'helps others.' Naturally, I'll help you."
"Don't thank me too much. I'm doing this entirely for myself."
Li Tian took the wet wipes handed to her by Huo Yuxuan, wiped her hand, and then casually discarded the wipe. It landed directly on Xu Ruowei's face. Li Tian was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
She truly hadn't expected it to be so coincidental.
It could only be attributed to fate.
Xu Ruowei's eyes filled with tears, looking as if she was about to burst into crying. However, Li Tian seemed to see right through her, scoffed coldly, and said icily, "Xu Ruowei, put away that pitiful act. No one will pity you."
"Heh, do you know? Your clumsy acting is so bad that only someone blind could be fooled by it."
"Oh, right. Doesn't Shen Xizhou believe what you say? You can go find him."
Li Tian seemed to have thought of something, looked at Xu Ruowei seriously, and said mockingly, "By the way, where is Shen Xizhou, who usually guards you like the apple of his eye? I don't see him."
Li Tian said this intentionally to provoke her.
Xu Ruowei clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on a certain spot. Seeing that person remain silent, she felt immense unwillingness. But she could only pretend not to understand.
She looked at Shen Xizhou with feigned vulnerability, instinctively wanting to move closer. At this moment, Shen Xizhou directly took out his phone, turned around, and appeared to be dealing with something very important.
"Heh, it seems you've been scorned."
Li Tian sneered and said, "Xu Ruowei, how does it feel to be scorned? To see the man you fought so hard to win now disdain you. You must hate the person before you to the core."
"Do you even want to destroy that person?"
"Do you even want to take action?"
"But no matter what you think, it cannot change the fact that you have already failed."
"Li Tian, what nonsense are you spouting? Xizhou is just busy. He's just..."
All her intended rebuttals crumbled the moment she met Li Tian's mocking gaze.
Yes, she had tried so hard, yet this was the result. Were all these events truly her own fault?
A sense of injustice filled her. She even wanted to loudly question Shen Xizhou, asking why he treated her this way. How was she any less than An Nuan?
He was the one who had hated An Nuan initially, the one who had poisoned An Nuan's life.
He was the one who had stood by her side and given her hope.
Therefore, Shen Xizhou, you should have persevered, not given up halfway, right?
Li Tian watched Xu Ruowei's breakdown. Anyone else would have felt pity, but not her. She simply scoffed coldly and said icily, "Xu Ruowei, every time you framed An Nuan, did you ever consider that An Nuan would suffer immensely because of your words? Would your words even cost her her life?"
"And yet, you can calmly face and deal with these matters. What kind of heart do you have?"
"Xu Ruowei, your heart is black, isn't it?"
"No, you probably never had a heart at all."
"Oh, right. You said An Nuan caused the death of your child, right? And that child belonged to Shen Xizhou?"
"But, Xu Ruowei, despite all your calculations, you probably didn't expect that the lackey by your side would sell you out for money. I have all the proof of how you bribed doctors and nurses to fabricate evidence back then."
"Oh, right. The nonsensical stories you told, only Shen Xizhou would believe them."
"By the way, you said you would never have children again in this life, right?" Li Tian pointed at Xu Ruowei's belly and said coldly, "Then what is growing inside you now?"
"Oh, has the seed in your belly found its father? Is it Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, Mr. Xu, or is this child Shen Xizhou's?"
An Nuan looked at Li Tian, her heart warming. Li Tian was risking everything to protect her.
In fact, she knew and understood all these matters.
An Nuan didn't speak not because she feared Shen Xizhou couldn't bear it, but because she felt she didn't need to tell Shen Xizhou. Wouldn't it be better to let Shen Xizhou continue to believe Xu Ruowei? That way, Shen Xizhou wouldn't find excuses to pester her.
However, she truly didn't know about Xu Ruowei's pregnancy.
She wondered what Shen Xizhou's thoughts would be upon hearing these words.
The world's cycles are just, and heaven's retribution is inevitable.
If you sow, you shall reap.
Xu Ruowei's face changed drastically. She never expected that Li Tian would know such clandestine matters, and even reveal them in front of everyone.
All her efforts, all her painstaking work, had been in vain.
She glared fiercely at Li Tian, but then her gaze fell on An Nuan.
Staring menacingly at An Nuan, yes, An Nuan was to blame for all of this. If An Nuan hadn't stepped forward, if she had obediently confessed and been manipulated as before, none of this embarrassing scene would have happened.
At this moment, Xu Ruowei blamed An Nuan for everything. Before anyone could react, she produced a fruit knife from somewhere and lunged directly at An Nuan.
The fruit knife was aimed directly at An Nuan.
