Can she be reassured?
Wouldn't An Nuan fight her for him?
No, she wouldn't believe a word of this.
How could An Nuan possibly not fight her for him?
If An Nuan truly didn't care about Shen Xizhou, then why did she always appear before them? If she truly didn't care, then she shouldn't even show up.
Looking at Xu Ruowei's sinister and venomous gaze, Yan Bai couldn't help but shake his head. This woman would likely never change.
Perhaps he had blamed all the wrong things on An Nuan.
Yan Bai shook his head. Indeed, for years, Xu Ruowei had misunderstood An Nuan. An Nuan had said the same things, but Xu Ruowei had never listened.
Yan Bai felt that their previous conversation had been a complete waste of time. What was the point of talking nonsense with Xu Ruowei?
"Yan Bai, talk to me. Answer me. Promise me," Xu Ruowei screamed hysterically.
Time ticked by. If Yan Bai didn't agree soon, and if Shen Xizhou returned, then nothing would succeed.
Xu Ruowei thought with a dark expression. This Yan Bai was truly stubborn. She had said so much, yet he still wouldn't budge.
Xu Ruowei stood up and walked with difficulty to Yan Bai. As she reached out to touch him, Yan Bai deftly dodged.
How could Xu Ruowei possibly be Yan Bai's match?
Yan Bai had always been by Shen Xizhou's side, doing things for him. If he hadn't had some skills, how could he have remained by Shen Xizhou's side for so many years?
Xu Ruowei had intended to embarrass Yan Bai this time, but she ended up falling to the ground again, her face swelling. Her hand was also injured.
As she tried to get up and chase after him, she heard movement outside. It seemed someone had appeared.
Yan Bai didn't want to bother with the person in front of him anymore and went downstairs directly.
But at that moment, he noticed Xu Ruowei following him downstairs.
Yan Bai: "..."
When Xu Ruowei saw Shen Xizhou, it was as if she had seen a savior.
She truly hadn't expected Shen Xizhou to appear at this moment.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and her face turned extremely ugly. No, if Shen Xizhou was here now, did he hear everything she had said to Yan Bai? She kept looking at Shen Xizhou, trying to discern any flaw on his face.
But Shen Xizhou was the same as always, with no change whatsoever.
Only then did Xu Ruowei finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She hesitated, wondering if she should say anything to Shen Xizhou.
A voice came from behind her, startling Xu Ruowei. That's right, Yan Bai was still here. She didn't have to say anything, but what about Yan Bai? He would surely speak.
No, she absolutely couldn't allow Yan Bai to step forward and speak.
If Yan Bai were to speak, it would be better for her to speak first. To take the initiative and control the development of the situation herself.
Xu Ruowei pinched her thigh, and tears flowed out. Sobbing, she said, "Xizhou, you're finally back. I... I... look at all the wounds on me."
"Yes, it's Yan Bai. I don't know what's gotten into him. He attacked me so cruelly, I..."
"Xizhou, I really don't know what's happening. Yan Bai just stood in front of me, said some nonsensical things, and then attacked me."
"Xizhou, I truly don't understand what's happening. Xizhou, is it because I'm by your side that Yan Bai is acting like this?"
"Oh, right. Yan Bai was also talking about An Nuan just now."
"Xizhou, what has this An Nuan done? Why are all the people around you standing up for her?"
"Yan Bai even threatened me, saying that if I don't behave and if I don't leave your side, my future life won't be easy."
Xu Ruowei kept talking, but Shen Xizhou said not a word. He just looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
However, Xu Ruowei, completely engrossed in her performance at this moment, didn't notice Shen Xizhou's change.
"I'll have the housekeeper take you to the hospital."
"The injuries do look a bit frightening. But they don't seem to have damaged any bones."
"It's just external wounds. Just to get them treated at the hospital."
"Xizhou, you... you mean you want the housekeeper to take me to the hospital?"
"Aren't you taking me?"
"Xizhou, don't you believe what I'm saying? You think I'm slandering Yan Bai? Just because Yan Bai has always been by your side and always doing things for you?"
"But, Xizhou, do you know? Yan Bai was defending An Nuan the whole time. Haven't you suspected that An Nuan bribed him?"
"Shen Xizhou, if you don't believe me, then I'll leave. I'll leave."
Xu Ruowei made a show of leaving, but she remained standing there, doing nothing.
"Ruowei, I will handle this matter. And you, go to the hospital first."
"Xizhou, I..."
Shen Xizhou's face darkened. He looked at Xu Ruowei menacingly and said coldly, "Have the housekeeper take you to the hospital. I will handle the rest."
Xu Ruowei knew that Shen Xizhou was truly angry now. If she continued to pester him, she would gain nothing. After thinking about it, she finally chose to leave obediently.
Outside, on the way to the hospital, Xu Ruowei asked the housekeeper to go back, saying she would go to the hospital herself.
The housekeeper naturally dared not, as he had to do what Shen Xizhou had instructed.
Xu Ruowei angrily threatened the housekeeper, and finally, the housekeeper obediently dropped Xu Ruowei off and returned.
The housekeeper reported everything that had happened to Shen Xizhou.
Shen Xizhou listened without saying a word.
Xu Ruowei arrived at a hotel.
She thought about what had happened to her. What did "have the housekeeper take me to the hospital" mean? The Shen Xizhou of the past was not like this.
This was not what she wanted. She wanted Shen Xizhou to protect her.
But now Shen Xizhou's attitude towards her was worlds apart. No, she would absolutely not allow this to happen to her.
She had to find a way to make Shen Xizhou dote on her.
She wanted to reclaim what originally belonged to her. She absolutely could not let everything be lost because of An Nuan's appearance. She absolutely could not let An Nuan snatch away what was rightfully hers.
She wanted to make An Nuan pay. She wanted to make An Nuan suffer eternal damnation.
She had to calm down, calm down, and think about what to do. She believed she could do it. Back then, she had been able to force An Nuan to leave Shen Xizhou's side, so she could do it now too.
