"No, I'll go myself."

Less than ten minutes after the call ended, Shang Yun Shen drove over.

He got out of the car, picked up his thick coat, and hurried over to Shang Wu to put it on her.

"You look so pale? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

Without saying a word, Shang Yun Shen turned his back and waited for Shang Wu to climb on top of him.

"I'll carry you on my back."

Shang Wu was in great discomfort, and cold sweat was constantly seeping from her body.

She grabbed Shang Yunshen's sleeve.

"Brother, I have to go home. I need to see Mom. I have something important to ask her."

Shang Yun Shen remained silent for a moment, then sighed and nodded.

"Okay, when you go back, be nice and apologize properly. Don't say hurtful things like 'cutting off ties' or 'not cutting off ties'."

Shang Wu lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Going back like this would have left her feeling embarrassed and awkward.

When Mingming left, she solemnly told her mother that she would be happy.

But now it's just as her mother said; she's been tricked by the Yu family and has suffered a setback.

Shang Yun Shen drove Shang Wu back, not daring to mention the Yu family at all on the way, for fear of upsetting her.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the store.

Shang Yun Shen helped Shang Wu out of the car and was about to open the door when it was pulled open from the inside.

Ruan Yuzhi stared at Shang Wu expressionlessly, her eyes filled with indifference: "I told you, once we leave this house, we will no longer be mother and daughter."

Shang Wu's fingertips trembled, her lips pressed tightly together, and after a moment she spoke softly, "I..."

"I know why you've come back. Isn't it because Lu Zheng wants to see me?"

Ruan Yuzhi interrupted her and straightened her collar.

Let's go.

Shang Yun Shen looked completely bewildered: "Who is Lu Zheng? Lu Rang's father?"

Ruan Yuzhi glanced at him.

Shang Yun Shen immediately pursed his lips and remained silent.

Shang Wu frowned, watching Ruan Yuzhi's elegant posture as she walked ahead, and followed her with uneven steps.

Shang Yunshen and Ruan Yuzhi were in front of the car.

She sat alone in the back, sending a message to Qianjue to arrange a meeting.

She didn't want to get involved in the grudges of the older generation, and she would never force her mother to kneel before that man.

As long as Lu Zheng leaves Wanhu, she has a chance to find an opening to make her move.

Shang Wu shifted her posture, her head still spinning. She tried her best to stay alert and began to act according to the plan, quickly sending messages to A Ying by tapping the screen with her fingertips.

A few minutes later, Shang Yun Shen finally couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Mother, you and the Yu family..."

"No need to ask." Ruan Yuzhi looked straight ahead, her tone cold and stern.

Shang Wu glanced at her, then lowered her head and said calmly, "Lu Rang and I were separated because of you."

Ruan Yuzhi suddenly paused.

“If you insist on not acknowledging me, fine, then I should call you Mrs. Shang.”

Shang Wu said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Shang, there is no problem with my relationship with Lu Rang. The current situation is not due to his character, but rather the grudge between you and Lu Zheng that has led to all of this."

"When I see Lu Zheng next, I won't let him hurt or humiliate you, but you don't need to act all high and mighty, as if you already knew Lu Rang wasn't a good match for me. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Ruan Yuzhi's face grew increasingly grim as she looked at her in the rearview mirror with dark eyes.

They were clearly mother and daughter, yet they inexplicably became the most familiar strangers.

Shang Wu was exhausted and resentful, and didn't want to pay any more attention to her.

They soon arrived at the place arranged by Lu Zheng.

It's the same liquor store.

Shang Wu was threatened by Lu Zheng here, Lu Rang had a seizure here, the wine shop was smashed to pieces here, and now it has been restored to its original state.

She got out of the car and went inside first, while Shang Yunshen stayed by Ruan Yuzhi's side the whole time.

Upon reaching the second floor, Qianjue waited at the door. The moment he saw Ruan Yuzhi, his expression turned fierce and cold, as if he were seeing a mortal enemy. He clenched his fists and took a step forward.

Ruan Yuzhi saw that he had no reaction at all, as if she didn't recognize him.

Shang Yun Shen keenly sensed something was wrong and blocked Qian Jue.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way."

Qianjue sneered: "Of course I'll step aside. Only the mother and daughter can go in here. You wait outside."

Shang Yunshen wanted to protest, but Shang Wu suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

Shang Wu said calmly, "There's no one to look after us outside."

A single sentence calmed Shang Yun Shen down; he nodded and stayed outside.

Shang Wu then followed Ruan Yuzhi inside.
