Yi Mi

Chapter 518 Playing a Role

She put away the things in her hand, her face full of triumphant smiles.

At this moment, she stood at the main gate of Shen's Group, watching the snobbish people block her way. She couldn't stand it any longer. She glared at them fiercely and said coldly, "One day, I will make you kneel before me. I will let you know the consequences of offending me."

After Xu Ruowei made such a scene at Shen's Group, everyone she encountered would directly steer clear of her.

They were afraid that if they were a moment too slow or looked at her one extra time, the person before them would pounce like a madwoman.

Xu Ruowei didn't care what others thought or how they reacted upon seeing her.

The only person she wanted to see was Shen Xizhou.

As Xu Ruowei pondered what she could do to see Shen Xizhou, he appeared directly before her at that very moment.

When Shen Xizhou came out and saw Xu Ruowei, her pale face made him feel a pang of pity.

He remembered that the Xu Ruowei of the past was not so worn. Back then, Xu Ruowei had a rosy complexion, and her overall appearance was very good.

But after only a few days apart, her complexion was so terrible, and her hesitant expression, coupled with her staring intently at him as if she had something to say.

Originally, he had no intention of paying attention to Xu Ruowei. Because Yan Bai had investigated everything clearly, and he had even told An Nuan that he would not forgive Xu Ruowei. Because he already knew all the truth.

He even wanted to win An Nuan back.

He thought that if he got involved with An Nuan again now, there would probably be no possibility between him and An Nuan.

But just now, Xu Ruowei was bullied by the people in his company, and she could only stand there helplessly, head bowed, tears streaming down her face. She stood there foolishly, unable to say a word. Looking at such a Xu Ruowei, he felt heartbroken.

He even wondered if he was the one who had caused this outcome.

If it weren't for him, Xu Ruowei wouldn't be like this.

Xu Ruowei was overjoyed the moment she saw Shen Xizhou.

In fact, when those people were making things difficult for her, Xu Ruowei didn't intend to just swallow her pride. She wanted to retort loudly, but when her gaze fell on Shen Xizhou, she changed all her intentions.

Xu Ruowei retracted the smile from her face and immediately put on an expression of having suffered greatly.

Shen Xizhou walked up directly, "Ruowei, what's wrong? Did something bad happen?"

Ruowei?

Shen Xizhou was still willing to call her Ruowei, did this mean he had forgiven her? Was he not angry?

Thinking of this, her face was full of smiles.

She didn't know what had happened, but as long as Shen Xizhou was willing to believe her, it would be fine.

"Xizhou, I don't know why An Nuan and Li Tian are still making things difficult for me, and even planning not to let me go."

"Xizhou, I..."

Shen Xizhou looked at Xu Ruowei coldly. As he listened to her words, his eyes were filled with anger, but in the end, for some reason, he held back.

Xu Ruowei was too happy at this moment, focusing entirely on the thought that Shen Xizhou still cared about her, and even after everything that had happened, he still stood by her side.

She even felt lucky that she hadn't left with Yang Ren, and that it was a wise choice.

She thought that if she had left with Yang Ren back then, she probably wouldn't be seeing Shen Xizhou being so gentle with her now.

In his heart, Shen Xizhou almost wished he could kill Xu Ruowei. However, her face still maintained a look of joy, and he said softly, "Ruowei, I'll take you somewhere. What you need most right now is a good rest."

"Okay." Xu Ruowei's face was filled with a happy smile. She thought she wouldn't act recklessly anymore. She felt that even heaven was on her side now.

"Xizhou, I knew everyone in the world didn't believe me, despised me, and doubted me, but I believed you wouldn't."

"Xizhou, meeting you in this life, and being able to stay by your side, is the happiest thing in my life."

As Xu Ruowei was about to leave with Shen Xizhou, her gaze fell on him. She thought that even if she didn't say anything about what happened today, Shen Xizhou would surely find out before long, so she should choose to speak first.

Once spoken, everything would be fine.

But how to say it, how to open her mouth, and how to say it so that Shen Xizhou would believe her words became the biggest problem.

"Xizhou, the reason I am so disheveled today is all because of An Nuan and Li Tian."

Shen Xizhou, who already knew everything, now had a face of confusion and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What exactly happened? Who dared to lay hands on you?"

"Ruowei, fortunately you're not hurt. If you were injured, I would definitely not let those people off."

Shen Xizhou said firmly.

Hearing Shen Xizhou's words, Xu Ruowei's face was full of smiles. She felt that all of this was truly worth it.

Xu Ruowei then told him everything with great confidence. Naturally, she wouldn't tell the truth.

She blamed everything on An Nuan.

Even though this was something she had done herself, she had the audacity to claim that An Nuan had arranged everything.

Xu Ruowei thought that even if Shen Xizhou found out, he wouldn't know everything.

Therefore, it was enough to frame An Nuan.

Shen Xizhou listened to Xu Ruowei describe how she could so effortlessly scheme against An Nuan and Li Tian for her own actions. He let out a soft scoff. It turned out that the person by his side all these years was so terrifying, and he had been completely unaware.

However, it was not too late to know everything now.

Shen Xizhou inwardly scoffed at Xu Ruowei's words, but outwardly, he still said gently, "Ruowei, don't worry. Nothing outside, no voice, can affect my belief in you."

"No matter what happens, I will believe what you say."

"Xizhou, you are so good to me." Xu Ruowei said with a happy expression, even with a hint of shy blush on her face.

She threw herself directly at Shen Xizhou, but at that moment, Shen Xizhou dodged her.

Xu Ruowei stumbled to the side. Fortunately, there was a wall next to her, so she didn't fall.

Xu Ruowei was truly stunned by Shen Xizhou's sudden evasion. She couldn't even understand why this was happening.

Didn't Shen Xizhou believe her words?

Shen Xizhou knew that Xu Ruowei would surely be suspicious if he dodged her now.

He thought for a moment and realized he definitely needed an excuse.

"Ruowei, I didn't mean to avoid you, but this suit of mine is custom-made and I have an important meeting to attend. It cannot be damaged, which is why I am being so careful."
