Mr. Gu, stop being abusive, Miss Xu is marrying your brother.

Gu Chenyan's residence.

When Shen Rou came out of the bathroom, she bumped into Xu Yan who was leaning against the door.

Shen Rou was startled by Xu Yan and was inexplicably scared.

To be honest, Shen Rou was a little afraid of Xu Yan. Even though everyone thought Xu Yan was weak and easy to bully, Shen Rou could see the coldness and darkness in Xu Yan's eyes.

She knew that she and Xu Yan were the same kind of people, both women crawled out of hell.

She knows Xu Yan's horror better than anyone else.

If there were no Gu Chenyan and no son, then Xu Yan would be a woman who could even risk her own life. Such a person is terrible.

Shen Rou has investigated Xu Yan and knows what she has gone through. It is a past that is even more terrifying than what she has experienced.

Therefore, Shen Rou knew that without Gu Chenyan, Xu Yan would have taken a completely different path, full of killing and evil.

Just like her.

"Shen Rou, let me guess who is calling you..." Xu Yan glanced at Li Jingyu, who was playing with her children on the balcony like a fool, and spoke in a deep voice. "Is it Liu Wanhua? She asked you to deliberately get close to the three brothers of the Li family, instigate a relationship between them, and sneak in to facilitate all the tasks she assigned you later, right?"

Shen Rou took a breath of cold air. "Sister, you seem to have a lot of wariness and opinions towards me. I..."

"They are all ghosts from the underworld, so don't talk about Liaozhai." Xu Yan interrupted Shen Rou. "I said, my sympathy for you is limited."

Xu Yan would not allow Shen Rou to hurt Li Jingyu.

"Then sister, don't you have any other purpose in contacting Gu Chenyan? I don't believe it..." Shen Rou stopped pretending, leaned into Xu Yan and spoke softly. "I don't believe there is...no one behind you."

She's gambling.

I bet Xu Yan is too similar to her.

Xu Yan can survive such a harsh environment in prison, and she can still survive to this day, get close to Gu Chenyan, and marry Gu Chenyan...

That she was working hard alone? Shen Rou didn't believe it.

Xu Yan frowned and raised her hand to push Shen Rou into the bathroom. She also walked in and closed the bathroom door.

Shen Rou was inexplicably afraid and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Xu Yan looked at Shen Rou and spoke in a low voice. "I won't do anything to hurt Gu Chenyan because I love him. What about you?"

Shen Rou clenched her hands and her eyes were red. "You always speak so nicely when talking about others. You can get away because Gu Chenyan loves you. Even if the child is not his, even if your past is scarred, dirty and broken, he is still willing to have you..."

After a moment of silence, Shen Rou spoke again. "Liu Wanhua holds the handle on me. My grandfather is seriously ill. In her hands, if she can give me money, save my grandfather's life, and help me get revenge, I will listen to her, and my life is fine. No, whatever I do... is my own choice."

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

"Choice is important. It depends on you whether you choose to go all the way to darkness or to face the light." Xu Yan leaned against the door and sighed.

"Sister, do you think everyone is as lucky as you? There are thousands of unfortunate girls like us in this world, but how many of them can meet Gu Chenyan? So, among the unlucky people, you are the lucky one... "

Shen Rou shrugged. "I live a more realistic life. I don't care about this body, nor my own soul, nor do I care about whether anyone loves me. Men...are all devils."

What's more, her body was in a state of disrepair.

"What leverage does Liu Wanhua have against you?" Xu Yan asked.

Shen Rou clenched her hands and said nothing.

"There are thousands of unfortunate girls like you and me in the world. You didn't meet Gu Chenyan, but you met me." Xu Yan stood up straight and told Shen Rou firmly. "If you believe me, we can cooperate. If you don't believe it... you would rather choose to go with Satan, then no one can save you."

It depends on whether Shen Rou is willing to fall or to survive.

Seeing that Shen Rou remained silent, Xu Yan shook her head and turned to open the door to leave.

"My parents died early in a car accident. The driver who caused the accident ran away and has not been caught yet. People in our small place have no insurance or compensation, so their death was in vain." Shen Rou spoke.

"My grandpa raised me up. My grandpa was a craftsman. He supported me through college by weaving baskets. After I went to college, I started working as a part-time student. In order to make money, I could do any dirty work... Our class , a rich second-generation man, he fell in love with me and chased me, but I knew that if I agreed, I would be just a plaything of these people, they have no feelings. "

Shen Rou laughed sarcastically. "I refused, but it angered him. He had people trick me out of school, and in a KTV private room, he tricked me into drinking drugged wine. After that, I experienced... something scarier than hell."

When Shen Rou said this, her whole body was trembling.

Holding herself tightly with both hands, Shen Rou squatted on the ground, her eyes burning with hatred.

"That night, there were a total of thirteen men..." Shen Rou raised her head and looked at Xu Yan, her eyes were red and the corners of her lips were bitten by herself. "They took a video of me and threatened me not to call the police or tell anyone. They also said I was volunteering and gave me 100,000 yuan..."

"Why didn't you call the police..." Xu Yan looked away and clenched her hands.

"Call the police? Call the police, what can I do? They are powerful, even if they are arrested, will I be better off? Can their family let me and grandpa go? I have no other choice but to endure... method."

Shen Rou said tremblingly, hugging herself tightly. "Liu Wanhua found me because she is a niece of my grandfather. She started to sponsor my tuition ten years ago. I am very grateful to her and think she is an angel..."

Liu Wanhua's hometown is the same place as Shen Rou's hometown, so they are somewhat related.

"When I was desperate, I asked my grandfather for her contact information. I thought she would help me... or at least comfort me, but she took advantage of this incident and my grandfather's illness to threaten me and make me Doing things for her, she said, she has supported me for so many years, just to repay..."

Shen Rou laughed sarcastically.

After experiencing so many changes in succession, she could not see a little bit of light.

She doesn't care about anything anymore, she just wants revenge, she just wants to... cure her grandfather's disease.

"I even thought...if my grandfather left, I would kill all those people." Shen Rou spoke softly.

"Perhaps... people in the dark can join a group to stay warm instead of expecting someone to save us." Xu Yan walked up to Shen Rou, squatted down, and looked into her eyes. "Shen Rou, we have to save ourselves and never put our hope in anyone."

Xu Yan knew very well that no matter how much she loved Gu Chenyan, she would not completely let herself become his appendage and rely entirely on him to protect her.

Everyone is an independent individual in this world and must have his or her own value in order to establish a long-term relationship.

Shen Rou looked at Xu Yan. "Can you help me? How... Gu Chenyan can't protect himself now. What Liu Wanhua wants to plot is you and the Li family..."

Xu Yan reached out to Shen Rou. "I believe in him. He will not sink to the bottom forever, just like us, we will not live in the abyss forever."

Shen Rou looked at Xu Yan and was silent for a long time before raising her hand and passing her hand over.

"Leave those scumbags who bully you to me. As long as you obey, Liu Wanhua will not touch your grandfather. Let's work together to climb out of this swamp?" Xu Yan looked at Shen Rou, waiting for her answer.

"Can I believe you?" Shen Rou lowered her head.

"Tell me this, do you have any other choice?" Xu Yan knew that after Shen Rou told her this, she had no choice.

Shen Rou smiled bitterly. "You're a bit terrifyingly smart..."
