Ruan Zhixu's eyes showed a look of reluctance.

Regardless of the circumstances, he betrayed Xu Murou. He was indeed tricked by others, but he also took advantage of Xue Nan, a pure girl, and he owes both of them an explanation.

Before Ruan Zhixu could speak, Xue Nan spoke again, saying to Ruan Zhixu, "Brother Zhixu, you don't need to worry about me. Just pretend today's events never happened. From now on, we're strangers. Sister Rou'er is already suffering enough. If you push her any further, she might threaten to kill herself..."

These words seemed to give Xu Murou an idea. She quickly ran to the window and said to him, "Zhi Xu, if you don't want me, I'll jump off here!"

As he spoke, he actually stuck one foot out!

"Rou'er!"

Ruan Zhixu quickly stepped forward and pulled her down.

"Zhixu... Waaaaah..."

The girl sobbed in his arms, and he held her tightly in his arms.

Xu Murou's parents rushed over and nearly fainted after learning what had happened.

When Xu Murou's father learned that it was Ruan Jiaojiao and Fan Xiaoxiao who had discovered something was wrong, he was very grateful to the two of them.

Fan Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to tell him that Ruan Jiaojiao was Professor Yang's personal disciple, so of course she was extraordinary.

Mr. Xu hurriedly asked Ruan Jiaojiao, "Can you help me find the person who poisoned me? I will reward you handsomely if you succeed!"

"Can."

It's obvious that this was a play orchestrated by Xue Nan herself, but finding evidence will take some time.

But Ruan Zhixu stopped him, saying, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I've wronged the two girls. But let's leave it at that. If we continue investigating, what will become of their reputations?"

"..."

That's true. Even if we find evidence, what then? What's done is done.

"Forget it... let's not investigate anymore." Mr. Xu then retracted his words.

Xu Murou also agreed to stop investigating. First, she didn't want too many people to know about this; second, she didn't want to know that it was her beloved adopted sister Xue Nan who did it, as that would make her look foolish for letting a wolf into the house; and third, she didn't want Ruan Jiaojiao to act arrogantly!

She even hated Ruan Jiaojiao for bringing her upstairs to check!

It wasn't that Ruan Jiaojiao was being nosy; given Nan Nan's personality, she would definitely keep this matter well hidden and not disturb her and Ruan Zhixu's lives.

That way, even if Ruan Zhixu is no longer pure, she won't know and will still be as loving and affectionate with Ruan Zhixu as before.

Therefore, the root of all evil is Ruan Jiaojiao! That meddlesome woman!

Rotten wood cannot be carved. Since they don't want to, Ruan Jiaojiao is too lazy to care.

Mr. Xu gave each of the socialites who saw him a sum of money to shut them up.

The banquet proceeded as planned, but everyone seemed preoccupied.

Before leaving, Fan Xiaoxiao said to Xu Murou, "My Jiaojiao is doing all this for your own good, but you don't appreciate it. You deserve to be schemed against by Xue Nan! Just wait and see if she takes everything away from you!"

Xu Murou paused, then blankly repeated the same sentence: "No, it can't be Nannan, she's a victim too..."

"Hmph, good-for-nothing, idiot!" Fan Xiaoxiao cursed twice, then caught up with Ruan Jiaojiao and left.

Xu Murou stared blankly at their retreating figures, muttering to herself, "Look, you two trust each other too, and so do Nannan and I... This matter ends here... it ends here..."
