"Nuannuan, you don't need to rush to explain these things to me. You know in your heart what's true."
"Nuannuan, just think these things through for yourself."
Zhou Chumeng looked at An Nuan, his gaze firm.
An Nuan looked at Zhou Chumeng, her gaze finally settling on him. After a long while, she spoke, "Senior, thank you for always believing in me so much."
"Nuannuan, let me tell you, I was actually already thinking about proposing to Li Tian."
"I've been thinking about a lot of things these past few days."
"In fact, even if you didn't tell me about Li Tian, I would have gone to her. I can see how good she is."
An Nuan listened, a faint smile appearing on her face. So, Senior had already figured it out, and she had been overthinking things.
In fact, even if she hadn't said anything, Zhou Chumeng would have said these things to Li Tian.
However, hearing Senior say these words himself still made her feel very good.
An Nuan and Zhou Chumeng chatted for a while, and then they parted ways.
However, as An Nuan was leaving, she received a phone call: "An Nuan, Zhou Chumeng will leave this world because of you."
An Nuan's heart was suspended in mid-air. She clutched her phone tightly. "Hello? Hello? What are you talking about? Who are you?" She kept speaking, kept shouting, hoping the person on the other end would respond.
"An Nuan, if I were you, I would immediately go find Zhou Chumeng instead of agonizing over who I am."
With that, the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.
An Nuan picked up her phone and dialed Zhou Chumeng's number. The call connected, but no one answered.
A bad feeling began to rise in An Nuan's heart, and her expression became extremely grim.
Worry filled her eyes.
That phone call, and Zhou Chumeng's continuous unanswered calls, filled her with unease.
An Nuan walked in the direction where Zhou Chumeng had disappeared. Perhaps she might still encounter him.
After a long while, her phone rang. It was Li Tian calling.
After hearing Li Tian's words, An Nuan felt like the world was spinning.
Everyone's fate had become tragic because of her.
...
In the hospital.
The doctor walked out of the operating room. Everyone's face was extremely grim, and they were all shaking their heads. It seemed the situation was not optimistic.
An Nuan's face was exceptionally grim when she arrived.
Looking at Li Tian's pale face, she became increasingly worried.
She was afraid Li Tian wouldn't be able to hold on.
It was all because of her that this had happened. Zhou Chumeng was innocent.
Just as she was about to comfort Li Tian, she also saw Shen Xizhou.
She didn't want to acknowledge Shen Xizhou.
But for some reason, Shen Xizhou, with a dark expression, walked towards her.
He exuded anger, as if it were directed at her.
Heh, perhaps it was a hallucination. Zhou Chumeng's situation had nothing to do with Shen Xizhou. Her current thoughts were mistaken.
Her gaze was on Li Tian, but at that moment, her hand was grabbed by Shen Xizhou, and she was pulled back.
"An Nuan, what do you want to do to let Xu Ruowei go?"
An Nuan's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Shen Xizhou, who had suddenly appeared, tightly gripped her hand and said such nonsensical things to her. She looked at the man before her in astonishment.
In an instant, she seemed to understand something. A cold smile curved her lips, and her eyes were filled with deep sarcasm.
"Mr. Shen, if you are going to frame me, then please produce evidence."
"An Nuan, you don't dare to admit what you've done, do you?"
"Evidence?" Shen Xizhou sneered. "Someone like you, what evidence do you need?"
"Heh, Mr. Shen. Being bitten by a mad dog, I won't bite back," An Nuan said, her eyes filled with deep hatred. "However, I will find the right opportunity to kill that mad dog."
"Mr. Shen, you have repeatedly accused me of harming Xu Ruowei, but you cannot produce any evidence."
"Mr. Shen, next time you speak of these matters, please bring evidence."
"Heh, whatever Xu Ruowei says is what she says. Mr. Shen, have you gone mad?"
"An Nuan." Shen Xizhou looked at the person before him, his eyes burning with anger.
She was even more arrogant than before.
Was it because Zhou Chumeng was by her side? She was truly capable, with people flocking to her one after another.
"An Nuan, haven't you ever considered that the people around you all meet unfortunate ends because of you?"
"Because of me?" An Nuan scoffed. How could he say such a thing so calmly? How could he have the audacity to say it so righteously?
Shen Xizhou had said, "An Nuan, I want you to live in hell forever. An Nuan, you deserve to live alone forever."
He truly wasn't just saying those words.
What she was experiencing now, Shen Xizhou was truly making it happen.
Before, she didn't believe Shen Xizhou's words, but now, she truly believed them.
She wished she could go back to the past and not have met or interacted with them. Then, they would be living well, and their lives would continue as usual.
"An Nuan, have you forgotten your identity?"
"You say, if the people around you knew you worked in such a place, they would probably all stay away from you, consider you dirty."
"Mr. Shen, that is your opinion. Whatever you say is what you say."
"Yes, I do work at Shelan Club. So what?"
"You can publicize it widely, you can tell everyone, I don't care."
I don't care...
I don't care...
An Nuan said with a calm expression, her demeanor suggesting she was being serious. She seemed to not care at all, as if she truly didn't mind.
Did she really not care?
"An Nuan."
An Nuan's indifference and lack of concern made him extremely agitated.
An Nuan wasn't like this before. The current An Nuan seemed to have slipped from his control.
An Nuan smiled. Shen Xizhou already had a fiancée. He was asking her to do what he himself couldn't accomplish.
How could he say such things and do such things?
He couldn't even do it himself, so why should he demand that she must do it?
Shen Xizhou grabbed An Nuan's hand, forcing her gaze to fall on him. He said menacingly, "An Nuan, the wound on Ruowei's forehead, even after being stitched, will leave a scar. This is the outcome you wished for, isn't it?"
"Heh."
An Nuan, did she get her wish?
Did she get her wish?
No, she didn't. If it had truly been her, she wouldn't have let Xu Ruowei live.
