Xu Ruowei's expression was extremely unpleasant, as the words she wanted to say were directly interrupted by An Nuan. More importantly, An Nuan had spoken the very words she intended to utter.
She also clearly saw Nan Gongjin's brows furrowed tightly. Although she wanted to say such things, she could no longer do so.
She had no choice but to brace herself and speak, "Miss An, I apologize. I misunderstood you."
"You resemble my fiancé's ex-wife very much. I thought she had returned, which is why I behaved that way."
Xu Ruowei said with difficulty. This time, she had truly lost all face.
She looked at Nan Gongjin and said respectfully, "Mr. Nan Gong, I apologize."
Nan Gongjin's expression was exceedingly grim. Shen Xizhou's ex-wife? Was Shen Xizhou worthy of that?
Xu Ruowei lowered her head, unaware of how displeased Nan Gongjin looked. She continued, "Mr. Nan Gong, I am truly sorry about this matter. However, in our future collaborations, I will certainly not disappoint you."
"Xu Ruowei, have you said enough?" An Nuan spoke icily. She felt that standing there was a waste of time. She did not want to continue saying useless words.
"Xu Ruowei, from the beginning, you have been planning how to humiliate me. Even Xia Wanqing was called by you to help you."
"An Nuan..."
An Nuan directly interrupted Xu Ruowei's words, saying coldly, "At today's wine party, the moment I saw you, I knew I had to be careful."
"Do you know why I was wary of you?"
"Yes, just as you said, I am An Nuan, Shen Xizhou's ex-wife."
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei and said coldly, "How does it feel to hear such an answer?"
An Nuan ignored Xu Ruowei and continued coldly, "In the past, you were always plotting against me, almost costing me my life."
"No, it truly cost me my life. Fortunately, Nan Gongjin appeared by my side."
"I know you wanted to destroy me. Even if I hadn't admitted I was An Nuan back then, you wanted to destroy me upon seeing this face."
"After being harmed by you so many times, do you think I haven't learned to be smart? Do you think I'll still be foolishly tricked by you?"
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei's incredulous eyes. She suddenly found it somewhat amusing. Looking at the person before her, she said coldly, "You injured your own hand. I saw and heard everything you said to Xia Wanqing clearly."
"By the way, words are not enough. Therefore, I recorded it."
She swayed the phone in her hand and said with a slight smile, "The evidence is right here."
Upon hearing An Nuan's words, Xu Ruowei's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She tightly clenched the hands at her sides.
She thought that everything was truly under control and there would be no more changes. But now, everything seemed like a joke.
And all the things she had done were recorded. She never dreamed that everything she had done would be recorded.
Then, her so-called image would be ruined.
"An Nuan, so you knew all along. You've been hiding it."
"If you knew from the start, why didn't you step forward to stop it?" Shen Xizhou said coldly.
"An Nuan, just admit it, you actually just wanted to see Ruowei utterly humiliated."
"You say Ruowei was plotting against you, but didn't you yourself plot against Ruowei?"
"If you had stopped it from the beginning, none of this would have happened."
Hearing the person he cherished so deeply being spoken of this way, Nan Gongjin's mood turned extremely foul.
He looked at the people around him coldly.
He walked step by step towards Shen Xizhou and said coldly, "Young Master Shen, the 'warm' of the past could be bullied by you at will, but the 'warm' of today is different. Now, she has me."
"I will protect her and will not let her suffer even the slightest bit of bullying."
The two men stood in confrontation, the surrounding atmosphere filled with a terrifying aura.
Nan Gongjin looked at Shen Xizhou and said with a bloodthirsty tone, "Shen Xizhou, apologize to Nuan Nuan."
"Heh."
Shen Xizhou snorted coldly and said sinisterly, "Nan Gongjin, a woman so filthy that I don't even want to look at her, and you want me to apologize to her. Do you think such a thing will happen?"
"Nan Gongjin, you are treating a piece of rag as a treasure. Be careful, or you might just become a laughingstock for everyone."
"For me to apologize to An Nuan? Unless I die."
"Furthermore, Ruowei is my fiancée, and she is not to be slandered by any stray cat or dog."
"Nan Gongjin, it should be An Nuan who apologizes to my fiancée."
"She slandered my fiancée."
As Nan Gongjin raised his hand to strike, his hand was caught by An Nuan.
"Nan Gongjin, wait a moment." An Nuan looked at the man whose eyes were bloodshot with a plea in her eyes.
Nan Gongjin looked at An Nuan in disbelief. His eyes were bloodshot and extremely violent, but when he spoke to An Nuan, he said softly, "An Nuan, are you really so unwilling?"
An Nuan, are you really so unwilling?
Shen Xizhou's heart was naturally touched upon hearing this.
She must love him deeply, right?
Even in this situation, she could still stand up for him.
Xu Ruowei looked at An Nuan sarcastically. Heh, she was truly ridiculously laughable.
To make such a sacrifice for a man who didn't love her.
However, the man whom An Nuan loved deeply treated her a hundred times better.
An Nuan looked at Nan Gongjin, "I just don't want to dirty your hands."
"You want evidence?" An Nuan directly played the video footage.
Nan Gongjin's face was filled with a smile.
So, it wasn't because she felt sorry for or cared about Shen Xizhou that she stopped him. It was because she felt sorry for and cared about him. That was truly wonderful.
The video clearly showed Xu Ruowei's actions and what she had done.
"No, it's not true. It's all fake." Xu Ruowei kept explaining, her gaze fixed on Shen Xizhou.
She didn't care if others didn't believe her. What mattered most was Shen Xizhou's belief.
Everything she possessed now was bestowed by Shen Xizhou.
If even Shen Xizhou didn't believe her words, then everything she had would be ruined.
Around them, there were only jeers and accusatory glances.
Xu Ruowei forced herself to calm down. She took a deep breath, compelling herself to be calm.
"Xizhou, I... I don't know why this video exists. But there must be some misunderstanding. I was present, but I didn't do such things."
"There was another person, but why is only I in the video?"
Xu Ruowei reached out and grabbed Shen Xizhou's hand, saying with difficulty, "Xizhou, what I'm saying is true. I didn't do anything, and I was indeed injured by someone."
"Oh, right, Xia Wanqing can testify for me." Xu Ruowei looked at Xia Wanqing, saying somewhat agitatedly.
"I..." Xia Wanqing, who was standing aside and had been called out, was truly startled.
She hadn't expected that Xu Ruowei would drag her into this.
