If Liu Shi had initially insisted on her, Xia Ru would definitely have compromised.

However, Xia Ru seemed to be much smarter than Liu Shi.

From the start, Liu Shi failed to scare Xia Ru. Initially, he wanted to threaten Xia Ru but in the end, he was threatened by her instead.

However, after Xia Ru threatened Liu Shi, all she had to do was give him a few candies, and he was already very grateful to her.

What a complete idiot.

Just as they were talking, Xia Ru suddenly felt a drop of water on her neck. She touched it subconsciously and looked up at the sky. “It’s not raining, why is there water?”

Liu Shi also felt the water falling on his neck. He raised his head and looked at the door beam above him, saying, “It might be because it rained a few days ago. There’s water on the door beam. It’s fine. It’s clean. It’s not dirty.

Xia Ru smiled and started to put in a good word for Liu Shi, as if she was very concerned about him.

“Liu Shi, you know about our family’s situation. My wages have been given to grandma, and the fact that I’m able to fork out money to buy you candy shows my sincerity. If there’s anything in the future, we’ll have to work together.

Liu Shi ate his candy and looked at Xia Ru with a perverted gaze. He reached out and touched her waist. I knew you knew how to care for people.

When Liu Shi touched her, Xia Ru’s body stiffened, but she quickly put on a fake smile.

Liu Shi was no ordinary person. Although he did not live up to expectations and was not good at his studies, his uncles were doing quite well. Liu Shi was the youngest son in their family and was the most doted on. Being on good terms with Liu Shi would bring many benefits in the future.

As he ate the candy, he looked at Xia Ru’s face and couldn’t help but think of Xia Wan.

Although Xia Ru was good-looking and had a great body, she still fell far short of Xia Wan.

If Xia Wan was considered a beauty, then Xia Ru would be average, at most.

His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. “This time, I was beaten up by Xia Wan’s brother. I must get my revenge. If word gets out, people will think that I’m a pushover.”

Xia Ru’s eyes flickered. She was obviously interested in this as well. “How do you want to take revenge on them?”

Hearing Xia Ru’s question, Liu Shi looked at her with some vigilance. “Why? You’re asking so many questions… are you going to tell them?”

As he said that, Liu Shi’s eyes had already changed, and they were now filled with a bit of ruthlessness.

Xia Ru’s heart tightened, and she immediately smiled. “Liu Shi, what are you talking about? I’m on your side. Although Xia Chen and Xia Feng are my relatives, our families don’t have a good relationship. I don’t like them either.”

“Even grandma doesn’t like them, let alone me. I asked you about your plan because I thought that if you need my help, I’ll try my best to help you.”

After hearing Xia Ru’s words, Liu Shi’s mood improved a lot. He smiled wretchedly. “Yes, you’re the most sensible one.”

After saying that, Liu Shi did not forget to touch Xia Ru’s body again.

“How about this? You keep an eye on Xia Chen and Xia Feng for me. If there’s a good opportunity, I’ll bring my men to surround them. If they bully me, I’ll take revenge in the same way.”

“Who doesn’t know how to shout for help?”

Xia Ru nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. Liu Shi, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. If I’m out for too long, my family will be suspicious.”

Liu Shi wanted to continue asking Xia Ru more questions. If he couldn’t get Xia Wan, he could at least cozy up to Xia Ru.

However, Xia Ru did not give him the chance and quickly left after saying that the family was very strict.

Xia Wan watched Xia Ru leave and chose to take the small path home first.

Along the way, Xia Wan recalled the events of her previous life.

At that time, her reputation was ruined after she fell into the water. Everyone in the village thought that she was a bad girl who loved to seduce men. In order to protect her safety, her brother Xia Chen would pick her up every time after class.

However, at that time, Xia Chen was working overtime at the factory, so he had little time to pick her up. She had to go home alone. The road was long, and there were many secluded paths.

Just as they were about to reach home, Xia Wan was surrounded by a group of hooligans. First, they insulted her verbally, saying that she was a woman who could sleep with anyone. Then, they beat her up and tried to take advantage of her.
