Shen Xizhou's grip on her hand tightened.
An Nuan cried out softly in pain and let out a muffled groan.
"Shen Xizhou, since you are going to marry Xu Ruowei, then I wish you and Xu Ruowei happiness."
"Even if everything you say is true, that is ultimately my business. So, for my business, Mr. Shen, please do me a favor and stop interfering, alright?"
"Mr. Shen, you've been out for quite some time. Xu Ruowei must be getting suspicious. If I were you, I would leave."
An Nuan knew that now was not the time to clash with Shen Xizhou. The people from the cooperating party could appear at any moment. What needed to be done now was to make Shen Xizhou leave.
She couldn't let Shen Xizhou lose his temper now.
She couldn't let Shen Xizhou continue to stay here, as it would not be a good thing for her.
"Suspicious?" Shen Xizhou's smile was like that of a demon's, and he said coldly, "You concern yourself with me quite a lot."
"However, being concerned about by a dirty person like you makes me sick."
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou, truly feeling that the person before her was insane. No matter what she said, he seemed not to understand and just lingered in front of her.
An Nuan even wished she could slap him, but the power imbalance was too great. Before she could even make a move, her hand was tightly grasped by Shen Xizhou.
At this moment, she felt immensely regretful.
"Heh, An Nuan, do you still want to discuss cooperation? I ask you, are you worthy of such a thing?"
"Last time, regarding Ruowei's matter, you snatched the cooperation that originally belonged to Ruowei. Did you know? Later, I spent a large sum of money to get that cooperation back."
A glint flashed in An Nuan's eyes. She understood everything.
That cooperation project was originally hers. But at the last moment, the cooperating party had a change of heart. Afterwards, she heard many people say that the cooperating party had signed a contract with Shen's Group, a contract where Shen's Group was essentially paying them money for nothing.
An Nuan finally realized that Shen Xizhou was willing to do anything for Xu Ruowei.
To make her happy, he had directly given away money.
Nangong Jin was naturally angry. He said that he wasn't the only one who could throw money around in this world; he could too.
An Nuan persuaded Nangong Jin, telling him not to be so impulsive. It wasn't worth it for a single cooperation. After all, there were so many cooperation opportunities in the world; could Nangong Jin really chase after all of them with money?
Nangong Jin was naturally unwilling, as he couldn't bear to see An Nuan lose to that malicious woman, Xu Ruowei.
An Nuan seemed to have seen through Nangong Jin's thoughts. She told him that if he truly did something foolish for her, then from that day forward, she and Nangong Jin would act as if they had never met.
Nangong Jin eventually suppressed all his grievances.
Since An Nuan had said so, he dared not do anything further.
He wasn't afraid of anything except An Nuan ignoring him. He had worked so hard to make An Nuan change her attitude towards him; for this one matter, letting An Nuan drift further away from him was not a good outcome.
Seeing An Nuan remain silent, Shen Xizhou's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
He had never imagined that An Nuan could be so distracted while talking to him.
"An Nuan, you..."
Before Shen Xizhou could finish speaking, someone appeared.
Li Tian and Huo Yuxuan appeared.
Upon seeing An Nuan's hand being held by Shen Xizhou and An Nuan cornered by him, Huo Yuxuan immediately charged forward and threw a punch.
Only then did Shen Xizhou release An Nuan's hand.
Li Tian looked at An Nuan, checking her over. Once she was sure An Nuan was unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had originally planned to give An Nuan a surprise. However, she had been delayed by some matters. She felt regretful, thinking that if she had appeared earlier, An Nuan would not have been troubled by Shen Xizhou.
Seeing how Shen Xizhou was treating An Nuan, Li Tian truly wished she could step forward and kick him a few more times.
"Shen Xizhou, not only are you blind at heart, but your eyes are also blind," Li Tian said through gritted teeth.
Looking at Shen Xizhou on the ground, Li Tian showed no mercy and said coldly, "When your mother gave birth to you, did she also give birth to the placenta?"
"How could you believe the words of a vicious woman like Xu Ruowei? How can you trust her so completely?"
"Shen Xizhou, An Nuan is not alone now. She has friends and family. She is not someone you can bully and trample upon as you please."
Li Tian walked over and, before Shen Xizhou could react, slapped him.
But after she slapped him, her hand trembled uncontrollably, and she felt a bit scared.
Shen Xizhou's menacing gaze fell upon Li Tian. Li Tian stumbled backward, almost falling. Fortunately, Huo Yuxuan was behind her and caught her.
Huo Yuxuan met Shen Xizhou's gaze and reassured Li Tian, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't allow anyone to hurt you."
Shen Xizhou snorted coldly. He shifted his gaze to An Nuan and said icily, "Heh, I didn't expect you to have others helping you."
"An Nuan, you are truly remarkable, even Huo Yuxuan is standing up to help you."
"Tell me, how did you please Huo Yuxuan to get him to stand on your side?"
"An Nuan, your abilities truly open my eyes."
"Shut up, how can you say such things, Shen Xizhou?" Li Tian was so angry that she wished she could hit him, even for a moment, she wanted to pry open Shen Xizhou's head to see what was going on in his mind.
Li Tian glared at Shen Xizhou and rebuked, "Shen Xizhou, I'm telling you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the CEO of Shen's Group. Heh, I'm not the same person I was before."
"An Nuan is my good sister. I absolutely will not allow you to bully her as you did before. I will make you and Xu Ruowei pay the price."
"Heh." Shen Xizhou heard Li Tian's words and felt no fear, only a sense of amusement.
"Pay the price? Li Tian, you can barely protect yourself, and you want to step forward to protect An Nuan?"
"A promiscuous woman like An Nuan, and you are her sister? Heh, what a joke."
"How I treat An Nuan is all her own doing. It is all the retribution she deserves."
"Get out."
Shen Xizhou said coldly to Li Tian and Huo Yuxuan.
His gaze fell on An Nuan, and he said menacingly, "Today, no matter who appears, you will not escape from my grasp."
At this moment, Shen Xizhou's eyes were bloodshot, and he had already lost all reason.
