Nangong Jin shot a fierce glance at Huo Yuxuan and said coldly, "If you don't know how to speak, then shut your mouth."
Huo Yuxuan felt truly helpless. He knew that good advice was often unpalatable, and his words were entirely for her own good. Yet, she didn't appreciate it at all.
"I..." Just as Huo Yuxuan was about to say something, his gaze fell upon Nangong Jin. In the end, he remained silent.
He had to admit, his good brother had fallen too deeply.
However, this matter couldn't be rushed. It had to be handled slowly.
Xu Ruowei knew that An Nuan's appearance would undoubtedly shatter all this tranquility.
She couldn't let this situation unfold without intervention. She needed to take action. However, it wouldn't be easy to deal with An Nuan if she acted alone now.
She needed to find someone, someone to cooperate with. That way, her chances of success would be higher.
She had painstakingly reached this point and couldn't afford any more mistakes.
Shen Xizhou's attitude towards An Nuan was remarkably different.
Xu Ruowei found Xia Wanqing.
Xia Wanqing frowned at Xu Ruowei's appearance. She didn't want to have much to do with Xu Ruowei.
Recalling what had happened before, she was displeased that she had been manipulated by Xu Ruowei all along.
As Xia Wanqing tried to walk away, Xu Ruowei blocked her path.
Xia Wanqing dodged left and right, but she couldn't escape.
She looked at Xu Ruowei and said coldly, "Miss Xu, please move aside. You're blocking my way."
"Wanqing, do you really have to speak to me like this?"
"Are you still blaming me, blaming me for what happened before?"
"Actually, I can explain. Those things weren't what you thought they were."
Xu Ruowei kept explaining, but Xia Wanqing didn't give her a kind reception.
"Xia Wanqing, a woman who looks exactly like An Nuan has appeared. What do you think Ji Wenyun will become?"
"How Ji Wenyun treated An Nuan back then, others might not know, but you should know better than anyone else."
Xia Wanqing, who had been eager to leave, stopped dead in her tracks upon hearing Xu Ruowei's words and fixed her gaze on Xu Ruowei.
Xu Ruowei was extremely agitated, but she still looked at Xia Wanqing and said calmly, "Xia Wanqing, if you don't believe what I'm saying, you can go and see that person."
"At that time, you'll know if I'm telling the truth or not."
Xia Wanqing finally nodded and went to see with Xu Ruowei.
...
Xia Wanqing stared blankly ahead, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
She had never imagined that such a thing could happen.
That person was An Nuan. She would recognize her even if she were reduced to ashes.
And from the conversation of those people, she also learned that that woman was also called An Nuan.
At this moment, Xia Wanqing could no longer remain calm.
Xu Ruowei told her the plan, and finally, Xia Wanqing agreed.
...
An Nuan's slap just now felt like a farce. Shen Xizhou left, and everything returned to peace.
"Alright, I've been out for too long and can't talk to you anymore."
"Shen Xizhou must be looking for me."
Xu Ruowei looked at Xia Wanqing and said firmly, "Remember, we must act according to the plan, do you understand?"
Xia Wanqing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement.
She, who had originally not wanted to cooperate with Xu Ruowei, had to cooperate with her again.
She thought, just this once, and afterwards, she would no longer cooperate with her.
Shen Xizhou was not worried by Xu Ruowei's disappearance, nor did he look for her.
Hiding not far away, Xu Ruowei watched Shen Xizhou, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes filled with deep unwillingness.
Why, why did this happen?
She had been missing for so long, and he didn't fear that something had happened to her? Wasn't he worried?
The unwillingness in her heart grew even stronger. And all these changes were caused by An Nuan's appearance.
Xu Ruowei looked at something nearby and a scheme suddenly formed in her mind.
"Xizhou, save me, save me..."
Xu Ruowei clutched her injured arm, and blood flowed down it.
"Xizhou, why, why did she hurt me?"
Seeing Xu Ruowei's pale face and her arm covered in blood, he frowned. Who was the "she" Xu Ruowei had just mentioned?
"Who injured you?"
"Xizhou, it was her. It was that person who looks very much like An Nuan."
Xu Ruowei's words shifted everyone's attention to An Nuan.
"Miss Xu, speaking requires evidence."
"You say I attacked you."
"Then, why would I attack you? What was my motive?"
"Miss An, I know you will say this."
"If you want evidence, I have it."
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei, seemingly waiting for her to present her evidence.
She was somewhat curious about what evidence she claimed to have.
However, the fact that Xu Ruowei dared to say such things in front of so many people indicated that she had come prepared.
This time, what scheme would she use to harm her?
Xu Ruowei looked at An Nuan and said calmly, "An Nuan, actually, if you apologize, this matter can be forgotten."
"But please don't do it again next time, okay?"
Xu Ruowei displayed her kindness to the fullest.
Making everyone feel that this An Nuan seemed somewhat ungrateful.
What kind of conflict could make that woman attack someone as kind as Xu Ruowei?
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei coldly and said menacingly, "Heh, Miss Xu, this is truly laughable."
"You've said everything, so what else can I say?"
"I didn't do anything. Yet, with just a few words from you, all the blame is placed on me."
"Miss Xu, this matter should be clarified."
An Nuan said coldly.
"Didn't Miss Xu say she had evidence? Then please present it."
A cold smile curved Xu Ruowei's lips. Heh, she had been waiting for An Nuan to say this.
She had been worried that An Nuan would apologize and this matter would be over.
She wanted more.
Such public opinion would not cause any harm to An Nuan.
Perhaps, there would be some harm, but soon, everyone would forget. She wanted to ruin An Nuan's reputation.
She wanted An Nuan's supporters to abandon her directly.
Without the help of those behind her, it would be very easy to deal with An Nuan in the future.
Right now, An Nuan had someone supporting her, so dealing with her was not a simple matter.
