"Li Tian, you and Huo Yuxuan have important things to do, so don't worry about my situation."
An Nuan took a deep breath, a faint smile on her face, and her voice carried a hint of forced cheerfulness. "Li Tian, I can handle this. If you come with me, I'll be distracted. So, Li Tian, you go take care of your own business."
Seeing Li Tian's concern, An Nuan forced a smile. "Li Tian, don't worry, I won't let myself fall into danger."
With that, An Nuan gently pulled her hand away from Li Tian.
Worried that Li Tian would continue to fret about her, An Nuan looked at Li Tian sternly and said, "Li Tian, go. I'll call Nangong Jin."
"With Nangong Jin protecting me, you don't need to worry, right?"
Li Tian had originally intended to follow, but upon hearing An Nuan mention Nangong Jin, she suddenly remembered something important. That's right, with Nangong Jin around, An Nuan wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
She believed that Nangong Jin would definitely protect An Nuan with all his might.
Yes, with Nangong Jin, what else did she need to worry about?
Besides, this was a classic hero saving the beauty situation. She couldn't snatch away Nangong Jin's chance to shine.
She was almost there.
Only then did Li Tian leave.
An Nuan watched Li Tian's receding figure and finally felt at ease.
The An Nuan of the past was not like this. In the past, she faced everything alone, with no one caring about her. She fought alone. She faced everyone's difficulties alone.
Later, Li Tian's appearance slowly warmed her heart. It made her feel cared for.
The feeling of being valued. She thought, if Yun Xiu could see this, he would surely be happy.
Yun Xiu would definitely be happy to see her living so happily.
However, Shen Xizhou told her that An Yun Xiu's death was not his doing, but that there was something else. Naturally, she didn't believe him, but what Shen Xizhou said afterward made her have to believe. In the end, she still chose to come.
She thought that as long as she came and clarified things, it would be enough.
If Shen Xizhou was lying to her, she would leave immediately.
She believed that Shen Xizhou wouldn't do anything detrimental to her.
Now, she didn't seem to have anything that Shen Xizhou could plot against.
She believed that with Xu Ruowei around, Shen Xizhou wouldn't take any drastic actions.
Shen Family.
An Nuan arrived.
It had been a long time since she had been to the Shen family. Everything seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed unchanged.
When she was here before, it seemed to be like this, but also not quite like this.
When An Nuan entered, the gate was open. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Shen Xizhou sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she appeared, Shen Xizhou's gaze was fixed on her.
His expression looked very grim. As she appeared, his cold, bloodless gaze fell upon her, as if he could see right through her.
"Mr. Shen, I'm here. Can you tell me about Yun Xiu? What exactly happened back then?"
"An Nuan, shouldn't you apologize to Ruowei?" Shen Xizhou looked at An Nuan with utter disdain. "You attacked Ruowei, nearly took her life, and then framed her. So, do you owe her an apology now?"
"An Nuan, if you can get Ruowei to forgive you, then I will tell you everything about An Yun Xiu from back then."
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou, even wishing she could split open his head to see what he was really after.
An Nuan said coldly to Shen Xizhou, "Shen Xizhou, what if I don't do as you say?"
As she spoke, An Nuan turned to leave.
She had no intention of staying. To her, everything Shen Xizhou was doing was a lie.
This time, when he said those words, it was just to trick her into apologizing.
Apologize to Xu Ruowei, how could he even think of that?
Heh, how could someone like Xu Ruowei be worthy of her apology?
Shen Xizhou noticed An Nuan's hesitation and said coldly, "An Nuan, there are many things you don't know. You'd best listen obediently and apologize to Ruowei."
"Oh, and by the way, aren't you going to take wedding photos with Nangong Jin?"
"Then, I advise you to think carefully before acting. With Nangong Jin, you'd best maintain your distance. Absolutely do not have any relationship with him, or you will regret it for the rest of your life."
An Nuan laughed, and her laughter was even quite loud.
An Nuan looked at Shen Xizhou with contempt and said, "Mr. Shen, I would rather die than apologize to Xu Ruowei. Also, it seems we have nothing more to say to each other."
"Heh, blaming myself for being too naive, for actually believing your words."
"It's simply asking for trouble."
As An Nuan turned to leave, Shen Xizhou blocked her path.
"Please, step aside."
"An Nuan, don't you want to know what happened to An Yun Xiu back then? And how An Yun Xiu died?"
"You've always thought that I killed An Yun Xiu, haven't you?"
"But An Nuan, I can tell you with certainty, I did not kill An Yun Xiu."
An Nuan scoffed coldly and said, "Do you think I'm foolish enough to believe your words?"
Shen Xizhou directly played the video on his phone and put it in front of An Nuan, saying coldly, "With this, you should believe me, right?"
"An Nuan, you know who this person is better than anyone."
An Nuan reached out, wanting to snatch the phone. The figure in the video was someone she was all too familiar with.
It was Nangong Jin.
And in the video, Nangong Jin was holding a syringe and directly acting upon An Yun Xiu.
She remembered that the cause of her brother's death was being injected with a drug.
What she had just seen in the video made it hard for her not to think of that.
An Nuan reached out to grab Shen Xizhou's phone, but just as her hand extended, Shen Xizhou retracted it.
"Mr. Shen, didn't you say you would show me the evidence? Now the evidence is right before my eyes, and you're only showing me half. Mr. Shen, you're not going back on your word, are you?" An Nuan said coldly.
If she couldn't snatch the phone from Shen Xizhou, she would have long ago been too lazy to speak with him.
"An Nuan, apologize to Ruowei. As long as you apologize and Ruowei forgives you, I will give you all the evidence."
"An Nuan, as long as you do this, I will definitely not hold back."
An Nuan's hands clenched tightly. She even felt the impulse to hit someone.
However, she knew that if she wanted to obtain the evidence, she had to do as Shen Xizhou said.
"Alright, Shen Xizhou, I will do as you say. Then, you had better keep your word."
With that, she prepared to go find Xu Ruowei.
Apologize? Apologize to Xu Ruowei.
If apologizing to Xu Ruowei would get her the evidence she wanted, then she felt it was worth it.
