Xia Ru Gives Up on Li Jin

"Wen Shu had previously inquired and discovered that Xia Ru was not a local resident. This meant that Xia Ru was even more vulnerable. If his relationship with Xia Ru was discovered by his wife, he could simply claim that Xia Ru had seduced him, and Xia Ru wouldn't have any support from her family.

He had thought that Xia Ru's family would be poor and lacking in education, but he hadn't anticipated that Li Jin would be so morally bankrupt. This was no longer just about poverty; it was about being completely unscrupulous.

Wen Shu's expression softened slightly under Xia Ru's coaxing. Without hiding anything, he asked directly, "I've heard from the villagers about your relationship with Liu Shi. Were you ever his girlfriend?"

Xia Ru quickly shook her head and denied, "He was never my boyfriend. Liu Shi is just a thug and troublemaker in our village. He often robs the children in our village with his gang."
