Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Mu. Only after Su Mu finished speaking did he snort coldly: "If it were someone else, I think what you just said would be correct."

But... that's Li Anran! When we were in school, he was so good to you, he practically gave you his heart! In the dead of winter, if you said you weren't feeling well in the middle of the night, he didn't do what other guys do: say a few nice things, tell you to drink more hot water, and then go about his business or go to sleep.

He immediately jumped out of bed, grabbed a coat and put it on, then braved the wind and snow to run to your dorm building, begging you to go to the hospital.

You said you didn't want to move, but he insisted on climbing over the wall, walking three blocks, buying medicine for you, and delivering it to your dorm.

When you ate less, he didn't do what other guys do—say a few words of feigned concern, and then just eat and drink as usual.

And him? He rode his old bicycle all over the streets and alleys of Jiang City, just to buy dishes that tasted like your hometown, so that you could have a few more bites!

You envy your roommate for carrying designer bags. He didn't have the money back then, but he didn't act like other guys. You call him materialistic and pretentious!

Instead, without saying a word, he went to a nightclub and drank with people until he had a stomach hemorrhage, all so that he could buy you the bag you'd been longing for!

He practically gave you his life, yet you rejected him because he was poor. But what about him? He worked tirelessly, desperately, just so that when you need him, he can be the strong tree that shelters you from the storm!

How could he be so foolish? He gave all the family fortune he had worked so hard to build to Liao Nanxing, just so that you would no longer suffer domestic violence and no longer live a life worse than that of an animal!

Tell me, who else in this world would love someone so unconditionally, like him? But what about you, Su Mu? You clearly didn't like him, yet throughout your entire university years, you silently enjoyed his kindness and love for you!

You clearly didn't love him, yet you used his love for you to escape the Liao family's hellhole! In the end, you went mad, he stood up for you and almost died, but you abandoned him when he needed you most!

Su Mu! Do you have a heart? Do you have a conscience? Doesn't your conscience hurt? If murder weren't illegal, I really wanted to cut you open, rip out your heart, and see what color it was!

Over the years, they have watched helplessly as that idiot Li Anran got stuck in a dead end.

They tried to pull him back, but he was so stubborn that even ten oxen couldn't pull him back.

In the end, even they were moved by Li Anran, this idiot.

But this woman in front of him hurt Li Anran time and time again.

Su Mu is truly ruthless!

Liu Xuan thought that after hearing what he said, Su Mu would at least feel a little sorry for Li Anran, and at least feel a little ashamed.

However, when he looked over, he saw Su Mu chuckling.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Xuan clenched his fist.

Su Mu laughed heartily for a long time, until tears streamed down his face.

"I laugh at him for being stupid! I laugh at him for being a toad trying to eat swan meat! I laugh at him..."

With a loud slap, a hard slap landed on Su Mu's face.

"I never hit women, but you've made me experience the taste of the flesh!" Liu Xuanqi's words were squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"Hehehe, hahahaha. You surnamed Liu, you hit me? If you've got the guts, go ahead and kill me! If you kill me, just wait and see if Li Anran will hate you for the rest of her life! Hahahahaha..."

"Su Mu! How could you hurt him like this?" Liu Xuan slapped Su Mu so hard that he fell onto the sofa.

His father taught him that women should be cherished and pampered, and that they should be loved and protected with one's life.

And the father kept his word, cherishing the mother dearly throughout his life.

So, he has lived this long and has never laid a finger on a woman.

But he simply couldn't resist today.

Su Mu covered his face, turned around, and red liquid spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"You hit me? Liu Xuan! Every single thing Li Anran did, wasn't it all done willingly for me? Did I force him to do it?"

Besides, what's wrong with me rejecting him? Shouldn't he blame himself for being poor, for not being born into a wealthy family, for not having a rich father or a rich mother?

If he were born into a wealthy family like you, why would I be so foolish as to reject him? Why should I? Why should I accept him just because he's nice to me?

Haha, that's true! You spoiled brats who have never had to worry about food or drink since you were little, you don't even know what it feels like to be hungry! How could you possibly understand the look of disdain in someone's eyes when they look down on you!

Is it wrong for me to want to marry a rich man? Is it wrong for people to strive for higher positions and for water to flow downhill?

Yes! I admit it. I took advantage of his love for me to leave Liao Nanxing. But I didn't ask him to give away all his wealth to Liao Nanxing for nothing!

"It was clearly his own stupid mistake, why are you all blaming me?"

With a loud slap, Liu Xuan delivered another slap.

He really couldn't stand Su Mu's despicable behavior of wanting everything.

Liu Xuan pointed at Su Mu's nose and said angrily, "Then you can leave him, or tell him directly! Instead of secretly giving him hope time and time again, and then treating him like a fool, a stepping stone!"

“What’s wrong with being a stepping stone? If he doesn’t want to, would I step on him?” Su Mu replied through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with malice.

Seeing Su Mu still so self-righteous even after being exposed, Liu Xuan felt that the anger in his chest could no longer be contained.

His hand, as if it had a mind of its own, was raised high, ready to strike again with all its might...

Ring ring!

The phone rang, and Liu Xuan finally released Su Mu.

He glanced at the bloodstains on his fingers that he didn't know when they had gotten there, and then pressed the speakerphone button with a look of disgust: "What's wrong, Liu Zi?"

Frustrated, Liu Xuan ripped off his tie and threw it on the ground, then unbuttoned two buttons to avoid suffocating from anger.

But there was no sound from the phone except for a heavy breathing sound.

But he could tell from the voice that it wasn't Xu Jingqi on the other end of the phone, but Li Anran.

Liu Xuan's heart jumped into his throat with nervousness.

He was afraid that this kid would be stubborn and go down a dead end, and that one day he would lose his life because of Su Mu!

"Ah Xuan, forget it."

When Li Anran's voice rang out, the phone almost slipped from her hand.

He turned his head in disbelief to look at Su Mu, who was dressed scantily on the sofa.

So... once again, Li Anran chose to turn a blind eye and forgive Su Mu?

If that's the case...

A dark glint appeared in Liu Xuan's eyes.

If either Su Mu or Li Anran has to die, then it should be Su Mu!
