Xu Shu looked at Zhuang Li with hope. Her eyes were something that Zhuang Li had never seen before. They were gentle, sad, fragile, desperate, and unbearable to refuse...

"good!"

Zhuang Li finally nodded in a hurry. He could not refuse any request from Xu Shu, but he could no longer face Xu Shu, so he chose to leave. He suddenly realized that even with so many years of love, he could no longer look at Xu Shu who used the people's hearts to the extreme. Such Xu Shu made him feel strange and terrible. He didn't know if there was one day when Xu Shu would use the means used on Zhou Jin.

"Now is not the time, then when is the time? When are you going to tell me the truth? Or are you going to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Jin, who had arrived at some point, walked step by step from the darkness, with heavy steps and a dark face. It was the anger after being deceived, the anger after being fooled, and the grief after being truly wrongly paid.

Today he came to see if she was in good health. He wanted to tell her that Mr. Qin was back and he would definitely ask Mr. Qin to cure her, but unexpectedly he heard a bolt from the blue. Now he is a huge joke.

Zhou Jin's sudden appearance obviously scared Xu Shu. Xu Shu stood up in panic and knocked over the teacup. The tea was already cold and poured onto her skirt. Xu Shu lowered her head to wipe it, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Jin and pressed it back. Xu Shu was forced to raise her head to face Zhou Jin's angry face.

"Say! When are you going to hide it from me?"

Xu Shu's arm was pinched and she was so painful that she struggled several times but couldn't break free. After all, she lost her patience. She frowned and glared at Zhou Jin with disgust, "Since you already know what else to ask! Let go!"

Zhou Jin stared blankly at the obvious expression of disgust on Xu Shu's face, as if he wanted to find a trace of tenderness and affection from the past, but after a long time he was still disappointed. Every look of Xu Shu told him that he was hoping that Xu Shu had never been sincere to him, she... was just using him!

Zhou Jin threw Xu Shu's hand away in disappointment. Xu Shu staggered and couldn't stand and retreated. Zhou Jin subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but he took it back the moment he reached out: She was a liar, and she must be lying to him now, wanting to make him soft-hearted, because she said that it was not the time to tell him, so she must have something she wanted to use him to get!

Xu Shu had been sick for a long time and had no strength at all. She was pushed by Zhou Jin and staggered backwards. Her waist hit the table behind her and her feet tripped by the table legs. Xu Shu grabbed the tablecloth in a hurry, but still couldn't stand firm. She pulled the tablecloth and fell to the ground. Her knee hit the chair and her eyes were so painful. Before she could touch the wound, the tea-off tablecloth and teapots on the table had all fallen to her feet. The splashing tea and teacup pieces splashed her all over.

"Miss..." Luhe, who was guarding the door, heard the movements in the room and screamed uneasy, fearing that something would happen in the room, but she did not dare to go in rashly.

"I'm fine, you all go back and rest!" Xu Shu ordered calmly. Listening to Lu He's hesitating to go away, he looked down at her messy body, and couldn't help but smile with a self-deprecating smile. He was really a sin to be alive!

Zhou Jin approached step by step, stepped on the fragments, and finally walked to Xu Shu, suppressing the urge to help Xu Shu up, and looked at Xu Shu condescendingly. Even though Xu Shu was hanging with tea on her body at this moment, and her skirt was soaked with tea, she was in a mess, but her face was calm and indifferent. She did not feel a trace of guilt because she was discovered by cheating him, but instead looked as if she was taken for granted. How could her heart be so cold and ruthless!

"Since I already know, do you have nothing to say?"

"What do you want to hear me?" Xu Shu cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on her skirt little by little, and was not in a hurry to sit up. "Listen to my explanation? But I don't want to explain anything. What you hear is the truth. Besides, I just explained. If you tell you that what I said is not true, will you believe it?"

Zhou Jin had a calm face and said nothing.

Xu Shu sneered, "Look, you won't believe it even if I say it. Since you won't believe it, why should I waste my lips and tongue in vain?"

"you……"

Even though he looked condescendingly, Zhou Jin still felt an indescribable sense of frustration. He was fooled by Xu Shu, and his true heart was repeatedly ravaged. Now that the truth has been revealed, she still has an indifferent attitude and does not even have an explanation. Could it be that he has never had a slight position in her heart, so he can be so indifferent?

Looking at Zhou Jin's angry but strongly suppressed appearance, Xu Shu suddenly tilted her head and showed a little curiosity, "Didn't you say that you would believe me no matter what happens? You can't do it now, right?"

"You lied to me first..." Zhou Jin tried hard to show peace like Xu Shu, but he still couldn't do it. He couldn't do it as cold-blooded and ruthless as Xu Shu. He had the heart, and his heart would hurt.

"I lied to you first?" Xu Shu looked at Zhou Jin without any concealment, "Who lied to whom first? Are you really looking for relatives from Yuzhou?"

“…that’s different!”

Xu Shu suddenly mentioned their first encounter, and Zhou Jin was lost for a moment.

At that time, he was accumulating his strength, and he would inevitably offend some forces. Being chased was common. That time, he was chased all night and finally escaped. He was dressed in rags and described as being embarrassed. He lay on a tree for a nap, but fell off the tree because he was too tired and fell on Xu Shu's carriage. It was the first time Xu Shu saw him. But when he saw Xu Shu for the first time, he turned into Xu Shu falling off the tree and hit him off the tree. At that time, he did not expect that there would be a bond between them.

"There is nothing different! You either lied to me or I lied to you!" Xu Shu sarcastically pulled the corners of her mouth, "We started with deception and exploitation from the beginning, and we will inevitably finally deceive and exploit it! This is fate!"

"So is this the reason why you deceived me?" Zhou Jin stared at Xu Shu with red eyes, without even blinking his eyes. His eyes were extremely sour, as if something was about to emerge. It seemed that this way he could see through Xu Shu's cold appearance and see clearly what she thought deep in her heart.

After clearing the fragments on his skirt, Xu Shu finally stood up slowly. She ignored Zhou Jin and found a chair to sit down. She sat on the chair farthest from Zhou Jin, not only intentionally or unintentionally, but also sat on the chair farthest from Zhou Jin, and sighed quietly.
