Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Shu coldly eyed her.
Xia Ru felt uneasy. Today, Wen Shuts gaze was particularly indifferent, which was something she hadn’t seen before.
She stepped forward, hooked her arm around Wen Shuts neck, and coquettishly asked, “Wen Shu, what’s wrong with you? Did something unhappy happen today?”
Wen Shu replied coldly, “Indeed, this unhappy matter has to do with you.” Xia Ru was taken aback and instinctively asked, “What happened?”
Wen Shu stared at her and said, “I went to your grandmother’s house.”
Xia Ru exclaimed, “You… why did you go to my grandmother’s house alone?
You should have taken me with you. My father is not at home right now.”
Wen Shu continued to fixate on her, making Xia Ru struggle to continue her words.
He had no intention of beating around the bush and said straightforwardly, “I already understand the situation in your family.”
“Previously, when you told me that your cousin was bullying you, I believed you. But based on what I’ve learned, it’s you who’s been causing trouble for Xia Wan. You wanted to compete with Xia Wan, but you’ve never been her match.”
“Now that we’re together, you’re only using me as a tool to compare and suppress Xia Wan.”
“Xia Ru, I consider you my girlfriend, but you’re taking advantage of me.” “Do you know how much money I’ve earned less in these days?”
Xia Ru was becoming flustered.
She didn’t know what Wen Shu had found out, especially considering her bad reputation in the village.
She particularly resented Xia Chen now. If it weren’t for Xia Chen coming to their store last time and bringing Li Jin and the others, Wen Shu wouldn’t have known which village she was from.
But in front of Wen Shu, she couldn’t mention any of this.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she looked at Wen Shu with a pitiful expression. “What did you find out from our village?”
Wen Shu countered, “What do you think I could find out? The things you’ve done are widely known in your village.”
“When I first met you, you were working in a restaurant.”
“Because I used to eat there every day, you noticed that my clothes were expensive, so you set your sights on me, right?”
“Initially, I thought you were innocent because of your young age, and I didn’t mind when you made mistakes occasionally. You were competing with your cousin, trying to prove that you were better, and I indulged you.”
“But now, I see that despite your youth, you’re just as cunning as those who’ve been around society for a long time. You chose me because you saw my money, didn’t you?”
Xia Ru rolled her eyes internally, finding Wen Shut s words a bit too insincere.
But while she cursed Wen Shu in her mind, she dared not say a word in front of him. Instead, she put on an expression of affection.
“Yes, I did notice that you were a wealthy individual back then, but I’ve been used to a tough life since childhood. I didn’t want my future children to suffer, so I only wanted a better life. Is that wrong?”
“Moreover, the restaurant where I worked had many wealthy patrons who came in every day, but I didn’t like any of them. I only liked you. Among those wealthy individuals, some were young men, but I never intended to be with any of them.”
“The reason I chose you is that I felt you had a successful career, which gave me a sense of security. Besides, I believed you were knowledgeable, and being with you would allow me to learn about things I didn’t know before. You could broaden my horizons, and you never looked down on me for being poor.”
As they say, a half-truth can be more convincing.
Wen Shu listened to her words.
At that time, the restaurant where Xia Ru worked was one of the better ones in the vicinity, offering relatively high wages to the servers, most of whom were attractive.
The reason he had initially taken an interest in Xia Ru was twofold. Firstly, he thought she was well-behaved. While the other female servers ignored his advances, Xia Ru always greeted him with a smile. Secondly, despite her average appearance, she had a good figure with ample bosom and ample hips. According to the beliefs of his hometown, a woman with such a figure was more likely to give birth to sons..
