Xu Ruowei's face was full of smugness. Hmph, she would suffer if she dared to compete with her.
Back then, An Nuan was already harmed so terribly by her. Thinking of An Nuan, her face turned extremely ugly. If it wasn't for An Nuan's fault, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state now.
Thinking of An Nuan, Xu Ruowei's heart ached, an ache that made it impossible to breathe.
However, she believed that everything now was just temporary. One day, she would make An Nuan pay the price. It was all An Nuan's fault.
Fu Jie looked at his mother and spoke after a long pause, "Mom, Ruowei said she wanted to hear what you had to say. So, now I'm here to listen. What else do you have to say?"
"Mom, it's obvious that this matter is your fault. Yet you refuse to admit it."
Mother Fu looked at her beloved son, speaking these words to her. Her heart instantly turned cold.
She never imagined that one day, such a thing would happen to her.
Meeting Xu Ruowei's smug and provocative gaze, she wished she could lunge forward and hit her. But ultimately, she held back.
She thought that when she presented her evidence later, she would see how Xu Ruowei planned to defend herself.
"Fu Jie, you better open your eyes wide and see what this is all about," Mother Fu said angrily, her mood truly terrible at the moment.
Xu Ruowei met Mother Fu's fierce look and suddenly, a bad feeling surged.
She even regretted why she had said those words just now.
But the words were already out, and there was no chance to take them back.
She sighed helplessly, but she didn't want to sit idly by. So, she reached out and gently tugged Fu Jie's hand. Fu Jie noticed this and turned his gaze to Xu Ruowei, saying with concern, "Ruowei, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital."
Xu Ruowei nodded frantically. She thought, as long as she could leave here, it would be fine.
Whether she went to the hospital or not was a matter for later.
Mother Fu watched Fu Jie's subservient and worried expression, and she truly wished she could lunge forward and slap him, to wake her own son up.
At this hour, he was still being played by this little slut, and before she had even produced her so-called evidence, he was already about to turn and leave.
So, all her efforts were in vain, were they?
"Fu Jie, if you dare to walk out today, don't come back in the future."
Fu Jie was slightly stunned. He turned and looked at his mother, who seemed like a madwoman, hysterical. He couldn't quite understand why his mother was like this. Why did she have such deep prejudice against Ruowei?
He knew some of what had happened to Xu Ruowei, but he felt that those matters had little to do with her.
Perhaps, Xu Ruowei didn't want it to be this way either.
He believed that Xu Ruowei was misunderstood about those things.
Xu Ruowei, however, was a little worried. The more her mother-in-law acted like this, the more worried she became.
"Fu Jie, why don't I leave first, and you stay here with Auntie?"
"I see that Auntie's mental state is not very good. If you leave, I worry something bad might happen."
"I'll leave myself."
Fu Jie looked at Xu Ruowei and felt immense gratitude. In his eyes, Xu Ruowei was very understanding.
"Okay."
"Ruowei, I'm truly sorry, it's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
Xu Ruowei said with a smile, "It's okay, you can go."
Xu Ruowei couldn't help but think to herself, what bad luck! Why did she meet someone like this? But anyway, she wasn't at a disadvantage now, so she might as well leave. After all, Fu Jie was still grateful to her now, so he would definitely be very dedicated to her matters.
Just as Xu Ruowei was about to leave, Mother Fu was unwilling to let her go and directly held her hand. "What's wrong? Are you starting to get scared?"
"Xu Ruowei, weren't you quite happy just now?"
"Didn't you say just now that you wanted to stay and listen to my explanation?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave now?"
"Let me tell you, it's not going to be that simple for you to leave now."
Xu Ruowei inwardly cried out that it was not good. She wanted to leave, but the scene that had just unfolded was played out. And the words Xu Ruowei had just spoken were also played out.
At this moment, Xu Ruowei's expression had become extremely ugly. She never imagined that Fu Jie's mother had such a trick up her sleeve.
She thought for a moment, a self-mocking smile appearing on her face. No wonder Fu Jie said his mother wanted to see her. It seemed she had been scheming against her all along. The moment she appeared, she had already stepped into a trap.
Fu Jie stared at Xu Ruowei in shock, even disbelieving what he heard and saw. "Ruowei, is all this true? You agreed to be my girlfriend, and even accepted my proposal, just to use me, right?"
Fu Jie was a bit frantic at this moment. His eyes were filled with disbelief, but he still said loudly, "Ruowei, tell me, this is all fake. You truly love me, and you weren't lying, right?"
Mother Fu looked at Fu Jie, shook her head, and directly slapped him. "Look what has happened now, and you're still thinking about her, still believing her."
"Son, do you know? I am your mother. Do you think I would harm you?" Mother Fu said heartbreakedly.
Just then, Xu Ruowei's phone rang at a most inopportune moment.
Xu Ruowei glanced at the caller ID; it was Chen Fuyi. She answered immediately. She didn't know what the person on the other end said, but Xu Ruowei laughed heartily.
"Well done, I know. I'll be there in half an hour," Xu Ruowei said happily.
Xu Ruowei, who had originally intended to explain to Fu Jie, became cold-faced after the call. She looked at Fu Jie with icy mockery and said, "Heh, Fu Jie, your mother is right. Yes, when you first pursued me, I didn't want to agree. But later, I found out you could help me, so I agreed."
"I originally thought you wouldn't be so easily fooled. Who would have thought you were truly rich and foolish, so easy to trick."
Xu Ruowei said with a hideous expression, "Fu Jie, do you know? Every time you got close to me, I felt disgusted. But for what I wanted, I endured it."
"Hahaha, but now I don't need to endure it anymore."
Fu Jie looked at Xu Ruowei. At this point, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to.
Mother Fu was first stunned. She hadn't expected Xu Ruowei to admit it so readily. She had thought that if this matter was exposed, her son was the only person she could hold onto, the one who could help her. She would definitely try her best to explain and make her son believe her words. But now? Everything was completely different from what she had imagined.
Something was wrong, very wrong. Something must have gone wrong.
Someone as calculating as Xu Ruowei would never give up so easily.
