Just as Xu Ruowei was about to retaliate, her gaze fell upon Nangong Jin, who was walking towards her.
Her face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with fear.
Xia Wanqing had told her that everything had been taken care of and that only she, An Nuan, and An Nuan would be present, with no one else. But the situation was far from that.
Xu Ruowei shot a vicious glance at Xia Wanqing, suspecting that this was all Xia Wanqing's doing. And she, fool that she was, had believed Xia Wanqing.
Xu Ruowei's hands unwillingly fell, and she even wondered why Nangong Jin couldn't have appeared later. If he had been late, then she would have finished everything she wanted to do. Wouldn't that have been a good thing? But now? Nangong Jin's appearance had completely disrupted all her plans.
Xu Ruowei was terrified of being implicated or targeted by Nangong Jin. If he were to make a move against her now, she wouldn't even have a chance to speak or explain.
"Mr. Nangong, An Nuan asked me to come. I don't even know what's going on."
"An Nuan threatened me, saying that if I didn't come, she would reveal everything I've done."
"She said she would go to Shen Xizhou and reveal my secrets. I was truly scared, which is why I came here without considering anything else."
"It was all An Nuan forcing me. I was so afraid of losing Shen Xizhou that I agreed to come."
She glanced at Xia Wanqing, who was still standing nearby. She had already marked Xia Wanqing in her mind, her body exuding a chilling aura. Looking at Nangong Jin, she said with utmost humility, "Mr. Nangong, it was Xia Wanqing, she wanted to harm An Nuan. I have never done anything of the sort."
After speaking, Xu Ruowei saw that Nangong Jin remained silent, not even making the slightest movement. A surge of elation filled her heart. Did this mean Nangong Jin believed her words?
With this thought, a triumphant smile played on her lips.
It seemed she could continue speaking.
She even thought that if Nangong Jin believed her words from this point on, then everything would be easy to handle.
"Mr. Nangong, do you think An Nuan loves you? In reality, her heart has always held Shen Xizhou. It's just that you were of great value to her, which is why she accepted you."
"If you had no use value to her at all, An Nuan wouldn't even spare you a glance."
With a thud, Xu Ruowei was kicked flying into a corner.
Xu Ruowei had intended to continue speaking, her face still full of smugness. She had even imagined seeing An Nuan's miserable state next.
However, she never expected to be kicked flying like this.
The one who attacked her was not Xu Ruowei, but Nangong Jin.
How could things have turned out this way? Clearly, Nangong Jin had looked like he believed her words just moments ago. What had changed?
"Do you really think you're something? That I would believe your fabricated lies?" Nangong Jin's body exuded a chilling aura, his eyes filled with contempt as he said fiercely, "Xu Ruowei, your dirty intentions, Shen Xizhou is blind and cannot see them, but my eyes are not, and I can see them clearly."
"Put away your thoughts. I will never believe what you say."
Xu Ruowei's eyes were filled with humiliation as she listened to Nangong Jin's words.
She hated Nangong Jin's words fiercely and wished he would disappear, but this was something she could only think about, and do nothing about.
She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, maintaining a smile on her face, and said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Nangong, you must have misunderstood me. I am not that kind of person."
"Mr. Nangong, you have a prejudice against me. I believe it's because of An Nuan. After all, An Nuan is always by your side."
"Naturally, you believe whatever An Nuan says."
"Although you can't say anything good, I must admit that what you just said is indeed correct." Nangong Jin's face showed a rare smile as he said, "I will believe anything An Nuan says. You don't need to say anything more."
"You're quite self-aware about that."
Xu Ruowei: "I..."
No, that wasn't what she meant by saying those words. She wanted to ruin An Nuan completely. But the progress of events was completely different from what she had imagined.
Xu Ruowei's expression turned extremely ugly. It was only now that she realized things were deviating further and further from what she intended to convey.
With this realization, Xu Ruowei finally calmed down. She looked up at the person before her with feigned calmness and said, "Mr. Nangong, if you don't believe what I say, I have evidence. I can show you the evidence."
Nangong Jin directly picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it over Xu Ruowei's head, saying coldly, "Xu Ruowei, if you don't understand what I'm saying, I don't mind sending you to the place you belong."
"Back then, you sent An Nuan to a mental asylum. An Nuan suffered humiliation and hardships. These were all your doing. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Nangong Jin originally didn't want to make things difficult for Xu Ruowei, because An Nuan had said that the past should remain in the past and she no longer cared.
However, An Nuan didn't want to bicker with these people, but these people were constantly making things difficult for her. How could he stand by and watch?
Now, with him present, Xu Ruowei and the others could still dare to lay hands on An Nuan. What would they do when he wasn't around? They would be completely unrestrained.
The more Nangong Jin thought about it, the more furious he became. His eyes filled with a bloodthirsty gleam. He walked step by step towards Xu Ruowei, his foot landing on Xu Ruowei's hand, and he stomped down without any mercy, even harder.
Xu Ruowei cried out in pain.
She forcefully pulled her hand, trying to wrench it free, but found that the more she struggled, the more her hand hurt. At this moment, she looked up and met Nangong Jin's bloodthirsty gaze.
She was utterly terrified, even forgetting to struggle. And she knew more clearly that her hand would likely not be freed now.
There was no other option, so she finally chose to give up.
Even if Shen Xizhou were here, he might not be able to make Nangong Jin let go.
Xu Ruowei finally pointed her finger towards Xia Wanqing, saying, "It was her. She orchestrated everything. I just came here."
"Nangong Jin, if you don't believe me, you can investigate. Xia Wanqing called me and said she was going to give me a surprise."
Xia Wanqing, who had been an observer, was suddenly dragged into the mess by Xu Ruowei.
Xia Wanqing wished she could have devoured Xu Ruowei alive.
