Things didn't go as planned, and Xu Ruowei even consulted a fortune teller.
However, the situation remained a stalemate.
During this time, she had been trying her best, but she was simply too unlucky; nothing she did succeeded.
Shen Xizhou treated her with extreme indifference, and she had now become a laughingstock to everyone.
Shen Xizhou had sent her abroad, but she hadn't left the country.
Even for her departure, Shen Xizhou hadn't bothered to come to the airport; he had sent someone from his entourage. She had bribed this person with money, so she didn't go abroad. Instead, she stayed and monitored Shen Xizhou.
But from Shen Xizhou's perspective, she was already overseas.
She thought she should find an opportunity to see An Nuan.
Didn't Shen Xizhou swear to An Nuan that he had sent her abroad? What would happen if An Nuan found out she was still in the country? Suddenly, she felt a sense of anticipation.
Xu Ruowei's face was filled with a smug smile. "Heh, Shen Xizhou, you want to get rid of me?"
"But you'll never be free of me in this lifetime."
Xu Ruowei was now a prime example of someone whose own misfortunes were tied to another's happiness.
Shen Xizhou, however, had not contacted her proactively.
He was truly heartless towards her.
Later, she tried to contact him through messaging apps but found that he completely ignored her.
She also knew that Wang Xuerou was about to wake up.
She became completely panicked. If Wang Xuerou woke up, she would truly be finished.
If Fu Jingxuan found out that she was involved in Wang Xuerou's situation, she would be utterly doomed.
The person she had placed by Wang Xuerou's side had been communicating with her consistently, and the situation was likely to become more difficult from here on.
She considered that the matter with An Nuan could wait, but the situation with Wang Xuerou was extremely tricky and needed to be dealt with immediately.
However, she now had to figure out what to do. She only had one chance; if she failed, there would be no opportunity left.
Most importantly, Wang Xuerou had previously mentioned that she possessed a video that could ruin her. She had claimed to have hidden it in a place where she would never find it. Her first priority was to find that item.
Now, she needed to ask Yuwen Hao for help.
Naturally, Yuwen Hao had arranged to meet her at their usual spot.
Arriving at the hotel room, Xu Ruowei felt reluctant. If it were in the past, she would never have been here. But now, she had no other choice.
In the hotel room, Xu Ruowei was restless.
In the past, Yuwen Hao would have already been there when she arrived. But now, she had been waiting for a long time and Yuwen Hao was nowhere to be seen, which made her a little scared.
There was a knock on the door. She rushed to open it, and before she could even see who it was, Xu Ruowei pounced forward, feigning shyness and acting coquettish. Her words were truly unpleasant to hear.
Xu Ruowei kept waiting for Yuwen Hao's reaction, as the former Yuwen Hao had been impatient. But now? Everything seemed to have changed.
Xu Ruowei said coquettishly, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Don't worry, soon, you'll be in a great mood."
As Xu Ruowei was about to say something else, she discovered something that made her doubt her entire life.
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the person in front of her.
How could it not be Yuwen Hao?
The reporters were stunned at first, then they started taking pictures. For them, this was explosive news, the next day's headline.
"You... Who are you? How did you get here?"
"Get out, get out, all of you get out!"
At this moment, Xu Ruowei only wanted to drive these people away, completely forgetting the image she needed to maintain.
However, these people knew very well that before, they dared not be too presumptuous, for fear of incurring Shen Xizhou's wrath and losing their jobs.
But now? Things were different.
Naturally, they were not afraid of Xu Ruowei's threats at all.
"Miss Xu, didn't you go abroad?"
"Miss Xu, why are you here?"
"Miss Xu's earlier words were probably not directed at reporter Huang, so who was Miss Xu waiting for in the room?"
"The person you wanted to see must be someone very important, or very intimate, right?"
"It shouldn't be Mr. Shen, as Mr. Shen hasn't been in the country recently. So, Miss Xu, who exactly did you arrange to meet?"
"Did your relationship with Mr. Shen break down because Miss Xu wronged Mr. Shen?"
"..."
The reporters cornered Xu Ruowei step by step.
Xu Ruowei had not expected such a thing to happen to her.
She knew that at this moment, she couldn't say anything or make any statements. Doing so would only be more detrimental to her.
But she was unwilling to accept it.
Facing their interrogations,
"Get lost, you fools, what do you know?"
"I warn you, delete all those videos and photos, otherwise, your good days will be over."
Xu Ruowei pointed at the reporters and said fiercely, reaching out as if to snatch their cameras.
However, the reporters became even more brazen.
She glared at them fiercely, her entire face contorted with rage. But the more she acted like this, the happier and more excited they became.
Because they could get more sensational news.
Xu Ruowei calmed down and realized that she had said things she shouldn't have.
But she knew very well that it had already been recorded and couldn't be deleted. She could only try to speak politely.
Finally, she lowered her head and said with a sob, "My husband Shen Xizhou and I just had a minor argument. I asked him to come today, and he agreed."
"Also, although our relationship has issues right now, I am still his fiancée, and our engagement is still valid."
"Therefore, you should think carefully."
"However, I understand that this is your job, so I won't make things difficult for you."
"Just delete those things, and naturally, I will reward you."
"Money will satisfy you, you don't need to worry about that."
Xu Ruowei saw that the reporters were no longer aggressively interrogating her, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, money could resolve all matters.
And they still feared Shen Xizhou.
"Of course, since you've taken my money, you can't release those videos and photos. Otherwise, your future days won't be so easy."
Xu Ruowei said smugly. But at this moment, the reporters sneered, their eyes filled with contempt.
Just as Xu Ruowei was about to say something, she realized that things seemed to be spiraling out of her control.
