This person, it seemed, had forgotten how she had treated her back then, even wanting to take her life. Yet now she sought to use those hurtful things to make her behave, how could she speak such resolute words?
Having done such decisive things, knowing clearly that she wished she could kill her, yet still speaking those words.
Wang Xuerou looked at Shen Shuhui with disdain and said, "Heh, back then, you helped Xu Ruowei try to take my life. Fortunately, I met Fu Jingxuan. He stayed with me, protected me, and gave you and Xu Ruowei no chance to harm me."
"If Fu Jingxuan hadn't stayed by my side, giving you no opportunity. You would never have let me go."
"Do you think I'm still the naive person I was back then? The one you led around by the nose?"
"You can dream of using me again. I will not be used."
"No, I don't know, I don't know what happened. Xuerou, the things you're talking about, I don't know them, I really don't know."
Xu Ruowei shook her head repeatedly, even backing away. Her eyes were filled with terror and fear.
She seemed to have thought of something, looked at Wang Xuerou, and said with great conviction, "Right, the things you mentioned might have really happened, but they have absolutely nothing to do with me."
"Those things were all done by my mother. I said back then not to do it that way, but my mother said if I didn't do as she said, she wouldn't acknowledge me as her daughter. I was really scared. So, I finally agreed."
"Xuerou, if I had known those were yours, if I had known my mother did these things to you, I would never have agreed."
"She said it was something someone voluntarily gave up. I really didn't know it was yours. If I had known it was yours, I absolutely would not have agreed."
"Xuerou, you are my cousin, although you're a cousin, I've always treated you like my own sister. Think about it, whenever there was something good, I would give it to you."
"Have you forgotten."
Xu Ruowei seemed to recall something important. She pulled up her sleeve, exposing her arm, and said solemnly, "Xuerou, do you not remember this wound?"
"These were all caused for you. This scar will stay with me for life."
"Xuerou, back then, you cried and told me that no matter what happened in the future, you would stand by me. You said you would treat me well."
"Xuerou, you said if anyone bullied me, you would stand up for me. But what about now? Why has everything changed?"
Xu Ruowei spoke with tears streaming down her face. Even those present felt that Xu Ruowei was truly pitiable.
They even felt that no matter how wicked Xu Ruowei was, no matter how many detestable things she had done to An Nuan, she was sincere towards Wang Xuerou, and she had truly treated her well.
She had even almost lost her life for Wang Xuerou.
It seemed Wang Xuerou was indeed in the wrong this time.
However, even with their thoughts, the final decision still rested with Wang Xuerou.
Xu Ruowei covered her face with her hands, seemingly consumed by deep self-reproach.
In her heart, Xu Ruowei already hated An Nuan to the bone. She thought it was all An Nuan's fault. If it weren't for An Nuan, she wouldn't have to endure all this.
Why, why did An Nuan always have to be by her side? And why did she have to be tormented by An Nuan all the time?
Wang Xuerou looked at Xu Ruowei coldly and said, "Xu Ruowei, when you say these words, where is your conscience?"
"How did you get the wound on your arm? Did you state the reason? Saving me? You must be joking."
"Are you afraid that if you say it, everyone will start to mock you?"
Wang Xuerou said coldly, "If you don't say it, I will."
"Just as you said, you were injured while saving me." Wang Xuerou sneered, and said coldly, "However, that accident was your design, and saving me was also your own design. Even the wound was intentionally inflicted by you. You did it all so that I would be grateful to you, thank you, and willingly do things for you."
Wang Xuerou laughed, a somewhat tragic laugh, and said, "Your plan succeeded. I truly listened obediently and did things for you, even following your words and starting to frame An Nuan."
"Even later, you threatened me, and I obediently followed your words and acted against An Nuan."
"But Xu Ruowei, you have done so many wicked things, yet the retribution has ultimately fallen upon yourself. This is your own doing."
"Oh, and one more thing, I was careful and recorded everything you did."
Xu Ruowei listened, her eyes filled with hatred. She knew very well that this time, she had truly lost, lost completely.
Even if she pushed all the blame onto Shen Shuhui, she couldn't withstand the evidence Wang Xuerou produced.
Whatever she said now, no one would believe her.
This could be said to be her own fault.
Xu Ruowei looked at everything before her unwillingly. She had wanted to ruin An Nuan, but unexpectedly, it backfired, and she harmed herself.
Oh heavens, why? Why? Shouldn't you be on my side? Can't you just help me one more time?
Haven't you been helping me all these years? Now, won't you help me just this once?
Xu Ruowei completely collapsed onto the ground, her face pale. She didn't know what to do now.
In the past, whenever something happened, someone would stand up and speak for her, but now? She had no one by her side.
She sadly realized that everything she had done over the years, which she thought was a carefully laid plan, was not the case. She had already lost.
She wanted to scheme against An Nuan, but even if An Nuan didn't come, the people around her could ruin all her plans.
Even An Nuan didn't need to lift a finger.
At this moment, she had become a laughingstock.
However, after her despair, Xu Ruowei forcefully wiped her face, immediately got up, and looked at the person before her fiercely. She smiled and said, "Wang Xuerou, you have Fu Jingxuan by your side. If you want to frame me, it's as easy as breathing."
"Your so-called evidence, who knows if it's real or fake?"
Wang Xuerou looked at Xu Ruowei coldly and said, "I expected you to say this, but I have more evidence. Let's see if you can still speak so easily after this."
"You... Wang Xuerou, you are a scourge, what do you want to do."
"If I had known you would treat Xuerou like this, I should have strangled you to death back then. I should have let you starve to death then."
"I truly never expected that after raising you for so many years, I would raise a white-eyed wolf."
"I didn't ask you to repay the kindness of raising you all these years. Yet, you are so vicious, wanting to ruin my Ruowei. What kind of heart do you have?"
Shen Shuhui could no longer care about anything and began to curse, even rushing directly towards Wang Xuerou.
