Ji Wenyun let out a low laugh, his eyes filled with guilt and helplessness. Things had happened, and there was no changing them.
Thinking back, the days he spent with An Nuan were truly happy. He liked An Nuan, loved An Nuan, but had always kept it hidden. Back then, he was afraid that if he confessed, An Nuan would slowly distance herself from him. He had always acted so well.
He thought that for the rest of his life, just being by An Nuan's side and silently protecting her would be the greatest happiness for him.
Those times spent with An Nuan were indeed his happiest moments.
Originally, when Shen Xizhou abandoned An Nuan, he might have had a chance. But he had ruined such a good opportunity himself.
The harm he had caused An Nuan was irreparable.
Now, he remembered everything, and he wanted to kneel before An Nuan and apologize deeply.
But he no longer had the chance.
...
An Nuan finally left with Nangong Jin.
The next day, she received a call from Li Tian.
Li Tian told her many things over the phone.
Li Tian told her that Yuwen Hao, who had been working for Xu Ruowei back then, had jumped from a tall building for reasons unknown. He was discovered and sent to the hospital.
Whether he could be saved was uncertain.
To outsiders, it appeared that Yuwen Hao had failed in business and jumped off the building due to unbearable pressure. But in An Nuan's opinion, Yuwen Hao's incident was definitely related to Xu Ruowei.
It was clear that Yuwen Hao was currently working for Nangong Jin. He was fine when she saw him yesterday, and today something happened. Heh, Xu Ruowei was truly impatient.
Was this the beginning of her making a move, destroying everyone who was detrimental to her?
For a while, there were all sorts of rumors, but Xu Ruowei's name was never implicated.
Li Tian spoke for a while, then remembered that An Nuan needed rest and quickly ended the conversation.
Li Tian still felt a lingering curiosity, and finally, she sent An Nuan everything she knew.
After reading it, An Nuan felt that Xu Ruowei's abilities were indeed formidable.
Even in such a situation, she could still harm Yuwen Hao and completely distance herself from it.
An Nuan believed that this matter was definitely related to Xu Ruowei.
But Xu Ruowei had managed to deflect all accusations.
Just as An Nuan felt it was unfair, Li Tian called again, saying that Xu Ruowei's leg was broken.
She heard that Xu Ruowei was walking on the street when she was hit by a runaway car.
The driver was mentally unstable, so Xu Ruowei was hit for no reason.
An Nuan was actually quite happy about Xu Ruowei's fate.
Originally, An Nuan was resting at home, but now she felt that she couldn't be decadent at home because of Xu Ruowei's affairs. Working was doing something she loved.
She had initially worried that Nangong Jin would not agree, but unexpectedly, when she dared to ask, Xu Ruowei agreed.
And when she returned to her post, everyone welcomed her.
All the people in the company who had made things difficult for her were now gone.
Naturally, those who had made things difficult for her didn't want to leave. They even appeared before her, begging her to put in a good word for them. Some even resorted to emotional blackmail.
After all, Nangong Jin had issued a decree. Those who were driven away by Nangong Jin would likely find it difficult to survive in this industry. Perhaps no one would dare to hire them anymore.
An Nuan did not speak up for them. After all, those events were still vivid in her memory, and she could not forget them.
In the past, she would have spoken for those people, but not anymore.
Because no matter how much she helped those people, they would never be grateful. Not only would they not thank her, but they would even feel that everything that happened was deserved.
She had gone through so much, and often, it was all due to these people fabricating things out of thin air.
Having been misunderstood so much, and suffering more because of these people, what kind of mindset did they have to say such things to her?
Clearly, these people had hurt her, yet they could still stand in front of her with smiles on their faces and plead with her.
There was even a hint of emotional blackmail.
When they chose to do those things themselves, they should have known that they would have to pay the price.
An Nuan's work ability was truly strong. Even after a long rest, she could handle matters perfectly.
Everyone in the company was willing to help An Nuan. Even when they didn't understand something, they would turn to An Nuan. They genuinely liked her, not out of flattery due to her relationship with Nangong Jin.
This feeling was truly good.
An Nuan's life was proceeding beautifully in all aspects.
But Xu Ruowei's life was not so pleasant.
Her life had deteriorated to the extreme. Nothing went smoothly for her.
Moreover, Xu Ruowei's life was becoming increasingly difficult. Even those who used to curry favor with her had left one by one.
In order to maintain her former luxurious lifestyle, Xu Ruowei began to pester Shen Xizhou. More importantly, she used Shen Xizhou's status to fantasize that those people would help her.
However, she had underestimated them. Everyone knew about the relationship between her and Shen Xizhou; she no longer had any chance.
She seemed to have forgotten that Shen Xizhou had already stated that he had no further connection with Xu Ruowei. Some people might not know, but those close to Shen Xizhou were aware of it.
Xu Ruowei was unwilling to accept her current predicament.
She looked ahead, at the bustling crowds. She sat in her wheelchair, her eyes filled with resentment.
Her life should not have been spent in a wheelchair.
The life she used to live was so luxurious, and now even three meals a day were a problem. She found this disparity difficult to accept.
She sold the only valuable item she possessed and got some money. She was planning; a plan had taken shape. She secretly encouraged herself, this time, it must succeed, not fail.
Shen Corporation.
Xu Ruowei had someone take her to Shen Corporation. Many people saw her sitting in a wheelchair, and most of them mocked her.
But Xu Ruowei completely ignored their ridicule. She thought that once she succeeded, she would deal with each and every one of these people who had mocked her.
Her gaze fell upon them, full of malevolence.
The person she had hired was so scared upon seeing Shen Corporation that he refused to push Xu Ruowei in.
Stuck in the middle, Xu Ruowei was in an awkward and unsightly position.
She glanced at the person behind the wheelchair and threatened coldly, "Push me in. If you don't, your child's life will be forfeit."
"Also, aren't you short on money?"
Xu Ruowei said fiercely.
The man, who had been hesitant, finally pushed Xu Ruowei inside after hearing her words.
A contemptuous smile curved Xu Ruowei's lips.
See? People are like this; for money, they are willing to do anything. Of course, she had also hidden that person's child, fearing that the man would not obey. After all, everyone has a weakness.
The moment she saw Shen Xizhou, the high and mighty Shen Xizhou, a cold smile touched Xu Ruowei's lips. She had arrived, and she was going to take back everything that rightfully belonged to her.
Did Shen Xizhou want to remain detached? She would not allow it.
