As Song Shiwei thought this, the tool character responsible for correcting the plot appeared right on cue. Xiao Rong gave a light snort. "Miss Song, Mr. Jiang, your behavior just now wasn't something we encourage either. You could easily have hurt yourselves, so we'll give you a verbal warning. Don't do it again."

Before leaving, Officer Xiao Rong secretly gave Song Shiwei a thumbs-up, offering her some verbal encouragement.

Fighting magic with magic. Very, very good.

Song Yurou hadn't expected it to end with just a few words of warning. She pointed at Song Shiwei, but Song Shiwei wasn't about to indulge her. "The police already gave us a talking-to. You don't seem satisfied? Should I call them back so you can battle it out?"

Song Yurou's face turned green, then white with anger, while Song Shiwei secretly gloated. Bleh, bleh, bleh! Stay mad.

Standing nearby, Zhao Meijuan burst into loud sobs. "That damned bastard's finally been arrested. He's beaten me so much I'm terrified. Once he's in prison, I'll divorce him. I've really had enough."

Song Shiwei looked at her, her expression helpless too.

She had only just found this part of the plot. In fact, Zhao Meijuan had cheated because Zhu Tao had subjected her to domestic violence for years. Zhu Tao had threatened to kill her entire family if she divorced him. Unable to get a divorce, she could only fight poison with poison to find herself some comfort.

"Ma'am, if you need help, you can contact our □□ legal department." After a moment of silence, Mother Jiang took the woman's hand and patiently comforted her.

"Ma'am, I hope you can be brave. When you face injustice, fight back bravely. We'll definitely win." Song Shiwei sighed. In the end, that was all she could quietly say.

Zhao Meijuan nodded. "Thank you. I'll definitely divorce him. I don't want to spend even one more day living like this."

Jiang Zhuxin was dumbfounded. This was her sister-in-law, the supreme white lotus Song Yurou had said stole her dress?

The way her sister-in-law had thrown caution to the wind just now hadn't looked anything like that at all.

While Jiang Zhuxin studied Song Shiwei, Song Shiwei was busily munching on gossip in her mind.

Jiang Zhuxin really is pretty. What a shame she ended up throwing herself at Gu Xiujin, getting tormented and sold on the dark web. That's just too tragic.

Speaking of which, Jiang Zhuxin shouldn't still be so devoted to Gu Xiujin now, right? If she's still devoted after all this, I'll smack some sense into her right here. Otherwise, all that time I spent sitting on the ground will make me look like an idiot.

As Song Shiwei eagerly munched on the gossip, Jiang Zhuxin glanced at the bedraggled Gu Xiujin. "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for going to such painstaking lengths to engineer this car accident."

She placed particular emphasis on "car accident," practically forcing the words through gritted teeth. Gu Xiujin's heart inexplicably lurched, and his eyes darted about.

Song Shiwei had already pulled up her little stool on the sidelines and spoke with great animation in her mind.

Miss Jiang, you've misunderstood. These people are clearly talking nonsense.

If I'd hired people to beat me up, why would I actually take a beating? I took a very real beating.

"Miss Jiang, you've misunderstood. I was only passing by and happened to save you. These people are talking nonsense. If I'd really hired people to put on an act, why would I let myself get beaten? I took a very real beating." Gu Xiujin stood up with an apologetic expression.

If Father Jiang and Mother Jiang hadn't been holding Jiang Ye back, he would have gone over and given Gu Xiujin a couple of punches no matter what. This man really could say anything.

"Zhuxin, how could you suspect our savior? He really did get beaten up. He's so pitiful." Song Yurou chimed in from the side.

Yes, yes, the husband sings and the wife follows. Jiang Zhuxin's life matters too! A perfectly good girl, turned into part of your play.

"Zhuxin, I also think you're going a little too far. He saved our lives. We should be repaying him." The other two girls chimed in as well, as though determined to pin the title of savior on Gu Xiujin.

Song Shiwei was having a wonderful time watching the drama from the sidelines.

Hmm... these besties did plenty to help Jiang Zhuxin fall for him. If they hadn't kept mindlessly praising Gu Xiujin and steering Jiang Zhuxin into subconsciously thinking about him all the time, this poor girl wouldn't have fallen for him.

These aren't besties! They're enemy besties! Big-time enemy besties. And this poor girl really is generous to them, buying them bags and clothes, treating them to meals and trips. All those expenses add up to several hundred thousand, not even counting those pricey bags.

Why can't I meet a sucker like Jiang Zhuxin? Granny Heaven, I want a sucker like Jiang Zhuxin to spoil me too.

Jiang Zhuxin couldn't bear to look at their faces anymore, biting the hand that fed them, and went berserk on the spot. "Aaaah! If you like this savior so much, go repay him yourselves! The people who saved me were my sister-in-law and my brother! The ones I really need to repay are my sister-in-law and my brother!"

"Every one of you sounds so righteous, so why don't I see you taking out your own family's money to repay your savior? Is all you can do talk? Looks like you don't want to repay your savior that much either."

Song Yurou: ???

The besties who had just been thoroughly blasted: ???

Song Shiwei: ???

Wow, how did Jiang Zhuxin suddenly stop being stupid? She can even tell the good people from the bad now?

Oh my god, are these really words Jiang Zhuxin could say? Girl, just for calling me your savior, your sister-in-law's got your back from now on.

Song Shiwei's thoughts left Jiang Zhuxin stunned, but she suddenly felt much better inside.

It was as though some force that had been binding her had suddenly been released.

She let out a long breath. "Come on, sis. I'll take you shopping at the mall. Today, we'll spend some money to ward off disaster."

"Are we taking this car?" Song Shiwei froze.

Why do I remember Jiang Zhuxin giving this car straight to the male lead back then? It cost several million! Jiang Zhuxin, you really are a spendthrift. Spend money on a man, suffer bad luck for a lifetime.
