The beautiful dream that was originally planned died in the womb at this moment. Li Rao, wrapped in a blanket, rushed towards Li Ruo with a fierce look in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour Li Rao alive.
The next second, Li Ruoyi gripped Li Rao's collar tightly with both hands, gritting her teeth as she questioned, "Was it you? You did all this? You bribed the security department, didn't you!"
The person in front of her was already furious, but Li Ruo looked surprisingly calm.
She spoke without changing her expression, but her eyes became much more sinister.
"Oh? Then may I ask how I did it?"
After a slight pause, Li Ruo continued.
"As you said, I'm from the countryside and I'm not strong enough to even kill a chicken. Besides, I've been busy with my own things all night and haven't had any time at all."
With just a few words, Li Ruo completely absolved herself of any wrongdoing.
Li Rao glared angrily, "Li Ruo, stop spouting nonsense! I haven't seen you much tonight, and you still have the nerve to say you've been busy!"
"Whether I'm busy or not, Mr. Wen can be my witness."
In short, all was silent.
Even Li Ruo, who was already insane at this moment, couldn't help but calm down.
Wen Huaiyan is the future head of the Wen family.
Let alone such trivial matters, even top-tier projects in the industry can sometimes be resolved with just a word from Wen Huaiyan.
His words were truly golden words.
Even as she said this, Li Ruo herself was unsure of herself.
She was truly desperate, which is why she brought up Wen Huaiyan.
Li Ruo's small face appeared calm and composed, but in reality, her palms, which were gripping the hem of her skirt, were already damp with sweat.
Li Ruo turned her head, her small face beaming with a smile.
"Mr. Wen, are you right?"
Their eyes met, and Li Ruo suddenly paused.
She saw a strong sense of displeasure in Wen Huaiyan's eyes.
She knew that Wen Huaiyan hated being taken advantage of.
Li Ruo swallowed, her lips curving into a sweeter smile, while the pleading in her eyes grew even stronger.
Li Rao watched from the side and couldn't help but sneer.
"Li Ruo, Mr. Wen isn't willing to listen to you, are you still delusional?"
After a while, Wen Huaiyan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
She was with me.
However, in an instant, Li Rao, who had just been baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, wilted.
With a hint of disbelief, Li Rao asked, "Mr. Wen, what did you just say?"
“I said, she stayed with me.”
As the deep, pleasant words reached her ears, Li Ruo felt as if the heart that had been hanging in suspense had finally settled.
She glanced gratefully at Wen Huaiyan, then turned her gaze to Li Rao.
"Li Rao, do you believe it now? Or are you going to refute even Mr. Wen's words?"
Li Rao naturally wouldn't dare.
So Li Ruo continued, "So, what you just agreed to with me still counts?"
"I don't remember what I said."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo narrowed her eyes.
Li Ruo knew before that Li Rao had no bottom line, but seeing her today, she realized that she could also lie through her teeth.
"All these cameras here recorded it."
"Can you produce evidence right now?"
"certainly."
Having frequently clashed with the Li siblings in her previous life, Li Ruo naturally knew the importance of having a backup plan.
She calmly took her phone out of her pocket, the time flashing on the screen reminding everyone that she was still recording.
"So, Miss Li, are you now willing to admit what you just said?"
The atmosphere became heated, and Li Rao wanted to renege on her debt, but she was at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, the Li couple, who had been pretending to be dead, stepped forward.
Sun Lan held Li Rao's hand tightly with heartache, her eyes reddening. She looked at Li Rao with disgust and indifference in her eyes.
"You two are sisters, after all. Your sister is already suffering a lot, and you want to become a knife to hurt her, is that it!"
"Li Ruo, don't be so heartless!"
"..."
As each accusation reached her ears, Li Ruo's eyes darkened further.
Sun Lan's eyes were indeed only on her own precious daughter.
As for Li Ruo, what is she anyway?
In her previous life, Li Ruo did many things that hurt herself, just so that this so-called mother would look at her more and spare a little love for her.
But later, Li Ruo discovered that no matter what she did, Sun Lan's gaze was always hostile.
It's a pity that she only understands this now.
The sharp pain in her left chest was only momentary, and Li Ruo tugged at the corner of her lips.
“Mother, I didn’t mean for things to come to this point. It was your precious daughter who made a big promise and insisted on dragging me here.”
Li Ruo's eyes flickered. "Is this my fault too?"
"How can you take what Rao Rao said when she was having a breakdown seriously? Don't be so petty about everything. We're family, let's be tolerant and understanding of each other!"
Tolerance and understanding?
Li Ruo found it ridiculous.
Why didn't this family mention those four words when I did anything wrong in my previous life?
At that time, Li Ruo was forced to wash clothes in the yard in the dead of winter. Her fingers were almost frozen off, but because a little bit of her clothes were not washed clean, she was left in the yard to freeze overnight.
