Tang Xueli paused in her steps.

She turned around to face Shang Wu, her gaze sweeping over the scar on her face.

"Awu, you've already suffered enough here. Don't say anything careless and cause trouble for yourself."

She patted Shang Wu's arm reassuringly.

It's as if she wants to include the fact that she ruined Su Tingting on her own initiative in Shang Wu's body as well.

Shang Wu scoffed, shook off her hand, and threw it away along with the bank card.

"You did the deed, but I'm the one who suffers Su Tingting's retaliation. Even so, I haven't said a bad word about you. And yet, you're afraid of offending the Su family, so you won't even let me make a phone call?"

She tore off Tang Xueli's hypocritical facade: "These days, you've been getting close to President Shang of Chengzhou Group and the future wife of the Yu family, but never to me, Shang Wu."

Tang Xueli's expression gradually changed.

She clenched her fists angrily and turned to look at Shang Wu.

"Isn't the pursuit of fame and fortune human nature? I approached you because you were so successful."

“We were classmates when we were abroad, so we didn’t have any ulterior motives when we were eating, drinking and having fun. Now I am the president of the Tang Group.”

"I have to support countless people, so I have to get close to those who are most beneficial to me! I have no choice!"

Shang Wu just wanted to laugh.

She still fell for someone she was close to.

From now on, she will avoid making friends and think about it carefully.

"Furthermore, isn't Su Tingting's disfigurement your fault? If you could keep Lu Rang as his fiancée, Su Tingting wouldn't dare utter a sound in your presence!"

Tang Xueli deliberately lowered her voice and glanced up at the distance, afraid that her friends would hear her.

"Stop it, or I won't let you off the hook!"

She dropped all pretense, glared fiercely at Shang Wu, picked up her bank card, and left.

Shang Wu pursed her lips, her eyes growing increasingly dark.

"They're slacking off and not doing any work!"

The manager's reprimands came from downstairs.

The man stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at Shang Wu with displeasure.

Shang Wu withdrew her gaze, returned to the private room, and opened the window to look outside.

No, even though it's only the second floor, the building is too tall to walk out of the window.

She closed the window, lost in thought.

On the other side.

Tang Xueli had already entered the private room, but she still couldn't sit still and got up.

Seeing that she was distracted, her friend asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about Shang Wu?"

Tang Xueli pouted.

In a way, yes.

"Yes, I need to go see her again."

"No way! Don't be so kind and get yourself into trouble!"

Ignoring her friends' words, Tang Xueli went outside and made a phone call.

After the call connected, she switched to a solicitous tone: "Tingting, are you busy?"

Su Tingting said coldly, "Just say what you have to say! Stop beating around the bush!"

Tang Xueli hurriedly said, "I just came to the club to meet with friends and ran into Awu. She wanted to borrow my phone to call for help and even asked me to pin the blame for your disfigurement on me."

After she finished speaking, Su Tingting suddenly paused.

"But even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to rashly deal with the Su family. With your father's methods, can the Tang Group withstand them? This was really at her behest!"

"But we've known each other since college, and we even shared an apartment when we were studying abroad. Could you... could you please not hold it against her?"

Tang Xueli asked cautiously, secretly admiring how succinctly she had phrased her words.

If this phone call is made, and Shang Wu dares to reveal the truth about this matter in the future, Su Tingting will see it as nothing more than shirking responsibility.

As for her, she had no grudges or conflicts with Su Tingting, and considering they would be doing business together, Su Tingting wouldn't do anything to her.

"Call up?"

Su Tingting finally spoke, her voice tinged with anger, "Who is she going to call!"

Tang Xueli said, "It must be Lu Rang, the young master of the Yu family. She was so glamorous as the wife of the Yu family before, but now she's been brought back to square one. She must be unwilling to accept it and will continue to pester Lu Rang."

Upon hearing this, Su Tingting smiled slowly.

She sighed, "Shang Wu, Shang Wu, you used to be able to seduce a few men with that face, but now what makes you think you can bother the young master of the Yu family?"

"Okay, I understand. I won't hold it against you. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xueli slowly exhaled and glanced downstairs. Coincidentally, she saw Shang Wu staring at the floor, listening to the manager's reprimand.

Not far away, a group of familiar-looking playboys were whispering, whistling, and making jokes.

Tang Xueli remained expressionless, withdrew her gaze, and returned to the private room.

"Did you hear me! Hurry up, each private room needs to be cleaned within fifteen minutes!"

Seeing the men watching the spectacle with great interest, the manager became even more enraged with his insults.

Shang Wu lowered her eyes, seemingly obedient, but her gaze was cold, ignoring all the unpleasant voices and malicious stares.

After the manager finished scolding and went to work, Shang Wu looked up, watched him go to personally take care of the guests, and then turned around and took the opportunity to walk towards the work area.

The club's work areas are all on the basement level.

Everyone was doing their own thing, some carrying cleaning tools, others carrying wine glasses and work clothes, hurrying back and forth, and no one paid any attention to Shang Wu.

Shang Wu weaved through them and soon arrived at the manager's office.

She pretended that someone was inside, knocked on the door, went in, and then closed the door.

The office lights were on, and the room, which had no windows, was filled with men's clothes, smelly socks, and unfinished instant noodles, creating an unpleasant odor.

Shang Wu frowned, pinched her nose, and began searching the office.
