That “green tea” vibe was so strong it was almost suffocating. Tu Yuyan even felt like it was stinging her nose.
So this was Gao Yousheng’s taste?
She truly couldn’t understand how Situ Ruiwen became good friends with him. Was it just because they were childhood friends and classmates?
Tu Yuyan didn’t like her.
Just one glance was enough—she already knew she disliked this kind of woman, full of schemes like a sieve, constantly hiding unknown intentions.
Especially when this woman was eyeing her fiancé.
“I do have male friends,” Tu Yuyan said with a faint smile. “But my male friends don’t want to climb into my bed, and even less would they try to send me into my best friend’s bed.”
Qu Shiyi’s expression stiffened. Her pitiful look almost collapsed.
But in order to make the man feel sorry for her, she still forced herself to maintain it.
This kind of “tragic victim” act only worked on Gao Yousheng. Situ Ruiwen didn’t even spare her a glance and directly exposed her, proving for Tu Yuyan that Qu Shiyi wasn’t just involved with one man—she was like an octopus, keeping a whole pond of “water sources.”
He threw out a stack of photos showing Qu Shiyi meeting other men—shopping, drinking milk tea, watching movies.
Most importantly, she had accepted “gifts” from these men.
And those gifts were exactly what she was wearing now—the dress, the bracelet, the earrings, the handbag, even the lipstick—all of them were “presents” from those men.
Situ Ruiwen said, “A woman from head to toe wearing things gifted by men—Gao Yousheng, I don’t believe you don’t understand what that means.”
Looking at the photos and the list of gifts, Qu Shiyi’s face turned pale. She quickly said to Gao Yousheng: “That’s not true! They’re photoshopped… Yousheng, you have to believe me, I’m not that kind of person…”
But Gao Yousheng was just blind, not stupid.
He didn’t speak for a long time, holding the photos with trembling fingers.
Because although he didn’t recognize the men in Qu Shiyi’s photos, he had seen the things she was wearing. He just never thought too much about it—when he met her, she was already dressed like that.
He had always assumed she was a spoiled rich young lady with a good background, pampered and loved, which explained her lifestyle.
Now it seemed… all of it was fake.
“Yousheng…”
“This man I know. I once saw you get out of his car. You said he was a friend of your father and just gave you a ride.”
Gao Yousheng pointed at one photo after another.
“This man I also recognize. I saw you coming out of a hotel with him once. You said he was your brother’s friend, and your brother asked you to deliver something to him.”
“And this one—he’s a relative from your maternal grandmother’s side…”
“And this is your friend’s husband…”
Gao Yousheng had the ability to become friends with Situ Ruiwen for a reason—he was very good at recognizing people. Especially when he paid attention, he could remember anyone he had seen even once.
With every word Gao Yousheng spoke, Qu Shiyi’s face grew paler, until it was completely bloodless.
A “green tea” only works when men allow it to work.
Without men cooperating, no matter how “green” she was, that would be the end of it.

Situ Ruiwen prepared an expensive gift and brought Tu Yuyan to the Xu family home to express his gratitude to Ruan Yaoyao.
If it weren’t for her helping him “read his face,” he would have almost been set up.
“Everything resolved?” Ruan Yaoyao asked, then looked at Tu Yuyan beside him.
The moment she entered, Ruan Yaoyao had already seen the label above her head—the unfortunate “cannon fodder.”
“Yes, it’s all been handled,” Situ Ruiwen replied, and to show goodwill toward Ruan Yaoyao, he explained everything that happened afterward.
When Ruan Yaoyao heard that Situ Ruiwen had pulled his fiancée into handling things together, she immediately smiled, feeling that he had done well.
【Anyone who tries to disgust them like that deserves to be disgusted right back!】
【After this incident, I hope he learns his lesson and stops treating everyone like a good brother, getting sold off while still helping count the money.】
Tu Yuyan: ?!
I feel like… I just heard something I wasn’t supposed to hear?!
Situ Ruiwen said, “Old Madam Xu, I still need to trouble you to meet my fiancée. Although this matter has been resolved, I’m still not at ease. I don’t want her or her family to suffer because of me.”
Because those two people had already been dealt with, Tu Yuyan’s fate had also changed dramatically.
More accurately, both her and Situ Ruiwen’s destinies had shifted.
Ruan Yaoyao’s smile became much more sincere.
“As long as you remember this lesson, you and your fiancée will surely live happily together, growing old side by side.”
【Tsk tsk tsk… didn’t expect Situ Ruiwen to be secretly quite sultry!】
【So he actually likes Tu Yuyan’s type!】
【If it weren’t for Qu Shiyi interfering and ruining their fate, he and Tu Yuyan would’ve naturally developed feelings after marriage.】
He likes me?! Tu Yuyan was shocked and couldn’t help but glance at Situ Ruiwen.
Just then, Situ Ruiwen was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and both of them blushed.
【Aaaahhh I’m shipping it! I’m shipping it!】
【So sweet!】
Ruan Yaoyao was delighted watching the couple’s subtle reactions.
And what she didn’t know was that Situ Ruiwen and Tu Yuyan’s reactions were entirely influenced by her inner voice. Now both of them were blushing even more, red like monkey butts.
Tu Yuyan felt like escaping and quickly asked where the bathroom was.
Ruan Yaoyao gave the directions and even sent a maid to guide her.
After Tu Yuyan left, Situ Ruiwen once again confirmed with Ruan Yaoyao: “Old Madam Xu, you didn’t lie to me just now, right? Yuyan and her family won’t suffer any harm because of me anymore, will they?”
“I already said it—you just need to remember this lesson. If you don’t, I can’t guarantee anything…” Ruan Yaoyao said. “The thread of fate isn’t unchangeable. It depends on the choices of the people involved. At every fork in the road, different choices lead to completely different outcomes.”
【Just like how you once had feelings for your fiancée, but because a certain woman ended up having your child, out of responsibility you married her instead. That choice ended your fate with your fiancée.】
【But speaking of which…】
【Since you were originally going to fall for your fiancée anyway, even if you ended up with Qu Shiyi, logically you shouldn’t have gone so far as to harm the Tu family like that…】
【Could it be… the power of the plot?】
Situ Ruiwen’s eyes darkened slightly.
That was exactly what he wanted to know.
After this incident, he realized his feelings for Tu Yuyan were growing stronger, and he truly couldn’t understand why he would have treated her and the Tu family like that in the original path.
He didn’t think he was a good person, but he shouldn’t be so ungrateful.
【Is there something strange about Qu Shiyi?】
Ruan Yaoyao felt a bit annoyed.
【I only took a quick look back then and didn’t examine it carefully at all, I couldn’t see anything.】
【Next time I get the chance, I definitely need to take a closer look.】
