"Shen Xizhou knows? It's just us here. If we don't say anything, what can a dead person tell Shen Xizhou?"
"Ruowei, you are too kind, which is why such a vicious woman keeps hurting you. Someone like her is not worth anyone's pity. If you feel pity for her, she will only become more presumptuous."
"Kindness, viciousness." An Nuan almost laughed out loud, "Xia Wanqing, you think Xu Ruowei is kind. From the very beginning, Shen Xizhou and I were in love. It was she who forcefully inserted herself into my relationship with Shen Xizhou. From start to finish, she has been the one targeting me."
"You are just a pawn to her. When you are no longer useful, she will kick you away."
"Why were you sent abroad by your family before? Have you forgotten? Life abroad was not easy. After you went abroad, Xu Ruowei was still the eldest daughter of the Xu family, living a very comfortable life. As for you, you inexplicably became the scapegoat, and your life will forever have a stain."
"Can't you see if Xu Ruowei is kind or malicious?"
"An Nuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Stop trying to sow discord between Ruowei and me, we are good sisters."
Xia Wanqing looked at An Nuan with disgust and said contemptuously, "Do you think I will believe what you say with just a few words? You're dreaming."
"In this life, I will always believe Ruowei, and you, you are truly disgusting."
"To shirk responsibility, you forcibly placed the blame on Ruowei. Ruowei is too kind, which is why you bully her so unscrupulously."
"You have bullied Ruowei enough over the years. Now that I'm back, I won't give you another chance to bully Ruowei."
"An Nuan, you are the one who deserves to die the most."
"Wanqing, no, don't hurt her. I'm worried that Shen Xizhou will find out sooner or later. If he does, Shen Xizhou won't even spare me a glance. Then I..."
"I beg you, don't hurt her, can you?" Xu Ruowei's face was full of pleading, crying, almost kneeling.
Under Xia Wanqing's disbelieving gaze, Xu Ruowei said softly, "I don't want Xizhou to be in a difficult position."
Xia Wanqing tightly clasped Xu Ruowei's hand and said firmly, "Ruowei, you have always been high and mighty. When did you become so cautious?"
"Are you afraid Shen Xizhou will find out? Then you don't need to worry. If Shen Xizhou really finds out, let him come to me. I did everything, it has nothing to do with you."
"Wanqing, no more, let's go," Ruowei said anxiously. "Wanqing, if An Nuan dies, Shen Xizhou will definitely investigate. Besides, you've already taken the blame for me once. I don't want you to be sent away by your family again because of me."
Actually, she was just saying it.
She actually wished Xia Wanqing would take action. But if she showed it, the subsequent things would be difficult to handle.
"Ruowei, I..."
Xu Ruowei wiped the tears from her face and stubbornly said, "Wanqing, if you don't agree with me, then we are no longer friends. We go our separate ways. This is for your own good too."
Xia Wanqing looked at Xu Ruowei and sighed helplessly. Thinking back to her days abroad, she had only just returned. If something really happened, and she was sent away again, her life would definitely be worse than before.
And she even less wanted Ruowei to fall into deep self-reproach because of this matter.
"Okay, I promise you," Xia Wanqing's voice held a hint of helplessness.
Xu Ruowei looked at Xia Wanqing in astonishment. She thought Xia Wanqing would persist, but she never expected her to agree so readily.
She regretted it. She regretted saying those words just now.
Looking at An Nuan's face, she wished she could disfigure her. But she had already spoken, and if she changed her mind now, it would probably make Xia Wanqing suspicious of her.
Saying that, Xia Wanqing walked over, squatted in front of An Nuan, a cold smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Tell me, if I inject something into her, making her life worse than death every month, if she behaves, maybe it will ease up. If she doesn't behave, she will suffer a fate worse than death. What do you think of that?"
Xu Ruowei, who was still regretting her words, remained calm on the surface upon hearing Xia Wanqing's words, but her heart was filled with excitement.
This was also good. Although it couldn't take An Nuan's life, being able to torment her made her extremely happy.
This time Xu Ruowei did not speak, because the previous time had made her regret it. It was enough to do something she regretted once. She couldn't do it more than that.
"No, you can't do this." An Nuan struggled incessantly, but Xia Wanqing held the syringe, gently pressing it in front of An Nuan, letting out a little medicine. With a triumphant smile on her face, she said, "I'm afraid you won't get your way."
"Xia Wanqing, you are Xu Ruowei's knife now. Wherever she tells you to go, you go. Have you ever thought that Xu Ruowei is scheming against you?"
"When you know the truth later, you will regret it."
Xia Wanqing's face remained expressionless. She said coldly, "An Nuan, I will not be swayed by you, nor will I regret it. My biggest regret is returning too late, letting you harm Ruowei to this extent."
"No, no," An Nuan struggled continuously.
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't. Because her whole body was numb, she couldn't move at all.
At this moment, she was desperately wishing for someone, anyone, to save her.
She couldn't afford anything to happen. Her younger brother had not been found yet.
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei standing at the side, and said fiercely, "Xu Ruowei, do you think that after you and Xia Wanqing do this, Shen Xizhou won't know in the future? Tell me, if Shen Xizhou finds out, what will happen to you?"
She hoped that by saying this, they would stop.
She didn't care what would happen to Shen Xizhou.
She wanted to keep her life and live well. Her brother was waiting for her.
Xu Ruowei looked at An Nuan, her face full of a mocking smile. An Nuan's words seemed to be the greatest joke she had ever heard.
"Are you saying that if Shen Xizhou finds out about these things, will he believe you? Or will he believe me?" she retorted indifferently.
An Nuan looked at Xu Ruowei hesitantly, repeatedly thinking about her words.
Was she really not afraid at all?
After a moment of hesitation.
Xu Ruowei raised her phone high, looking at An Nuan triumphantly. The screen displayed a call record.
She called Shen Xizhou. Was she really not afraid at all?
Her eyes were filled with deep confusion and doubt as she looked at the person in front of her.
Just then, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Even if that voice turned to ashes, she would recognize it clearly. It was Shen Xizhou.
An Nuan's face wore a calm smile. She seemed genuinely unafraid.
