"good."

Lu Rang said, "I'll help you."

"Ah..." Before Shang Wu could speak, Lu Rang grabbed the back of her head and gave her a long kiss.

Lu Rang lowered his eyes with meticulous attention, tasting the apple juice that clung to her lips.

Shang Wu put her phone aside and responded by putting her arm around Lu Rang's neck.

Only when they both started to pant did Lu Rang release her and affectionately press his forehead against hers.

"Awu, you're mine for life, don't even think about escaping."

Shang Wu smiled and pecked him on the cheek: "You're already here, where else can you run to?"

Lu Rang smiled slightly and leaned down to kiss her.

Only when Shang Wu was held in his arms and kissed until she was dizzy did she quickly beg for mercy.

Lu Rang draped a coat over her shoulders, arranged a time to come back the next day, and then took her away.

When they arrived at the hospital, Shang Wu put on her Bluetooth headset and opened the rear driver's door.

She said softly, "I'll lie down and sleep for a while."

Lu Rang nodded slightly and continued driving.

Seeing that he was looking straight ahead, Shang Wu secretly opened her phone in the shadows and found the voice message file that A Ying had sent.

She closed her eyes, looking very sleepy, but Ah Ying's voice came through her earphones.

It's very clear.

"Mr. Lu, our CEO asked me to come and ask you if there's anything else you haven't said?"

Lu Zheng smiled.

"I knew she'd noticed something was off. She's determined to find out, so what? She really wants to know now."

Aying replied without hesitation, "Of course, otherwise why would she ask me to come all this way?"

Lu Zheng gave a soft hum, sounding as if he had been persuaded by what A Ying said.

"Since she's so determined and curious, I can reluctantly tell her. However, I must make it clear beforehand that if she finds out and it affects her relationship with Lu Rang, I will not be responsible."

"Furthermore, what I'm about to say might also overturn her understanding."

Aying grew impatient and urged, "Hurry up! Just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush!"

Lu Zheng smiled.

Then came the clinking of teaware, which made it sound like he was slowly pouring tea.

Lu Zheng took a sip of tea before speaking.

"I was able to have a marriage agreement with the Yu family because I saved the life of the old master of the Yu family, and I also have my own business in Lincheng, making textiles and handicrafts."

"Back then, I was the heir to the company and made it thrive. After I saved Mr. Yu, he saw that I was capable and reliable, so he betrothed Lu Rang's mother to me."

“When I saw Lu Rang’s mother, I fell in love at first sight. I am grateful to God every day for being so good to me. I did a good deed and saved people, and God gave me such a beautiful wife.”

"But for some reason, half a month after we got engaged, she suddenly had a big fight with her family and wanted to become a movie star. The old man called me and asked me to go over and persuade her."

"I didn't expect that as soon as I left, something would happen to the company. The shareholders suddenly withdrew their shares, and several factory managers in charge of shipping also turned against me."

"When I returned from Wanhu, the company was completely gone, and I went from being a company president to a penniless young man burdened with debt."

"At this moment, Ruan Hua appeared and tried her best to dissuade Lu Rang's mother from separating from me and not to agree to the marriage."

Hearing this, Shang Wu was secretly surprised.

It turns out that even someone like Lu Zheng can fall in love with a woman at first sight.

That makes sense when you think about it.

A woman who can be noticed by a great director and be invited back to make a movie must be an exceptionally beautiful woman with outstanding bone structure and skin.

It's perfectly normal for Lu Zheng to fall in love at first sight.

"And then?" Ah Ying, who had also taken it all in, couldn't help but ask.

"Then?"

Lu Zheng sneered: "Actually, I've known for a long time that Lu Rang's mother has a close friend who doesn't want us to be together. I understand that. After I went bankrupt, I understand it even more. I even think that Ruan Hua's persuasion of Ru Yun is because she is a true friend. Regardless of whether she is friendly to me or not, at least she is genuinely concerned about Ru Yun."

"But later I found out that the reason my company suddenly ran into problems was because Ruan Hua got information from Lu Rang's mother about the factory's situation. And the predecessor of the Shang Group was also in the textile and handicraft business!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Wu's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Lu Zheng continued.

“She deliberately approached Ruyun, sabotaging our marriage while conspiring with her husband. Taking advantage of Ruyun's falling out with her family and my trip to Wanhu to comfort and support her, she suddenly attacked the company.”

"She took advantage of Ruyun, belittled me, and caused me to go bankrupt. In the end, she and her husband took over my company's original orders, made a fortune, and then switched careers, calling themselves self-made entrepreneurs!"

"You asked Shang Wu to say that her mother is hypocritical? Shouldn't she kneel down and apologize to me? Ru Yun is kind-hearted. When she knew all this, she tried to plead for Ruan Hua, but what was the result? Ruan Hua ruined our relationship. Not only did she not repent, she also smeared me, saying that I secretly went to Mr. Yu to stop Ru Yun from becoming a star!"

“Lu Rang’s mother developed depression because of this, which caused problems in our relationship. It was all Ruan Hua’s doing! Our family has fallen to this point, and Lu Rang will be without a mother. It’s all Ruan Hua’s fault!”

At this point, Lu Zheng's emotions had reached a fever pitch.

"Mingru Yun also liked me. I was willing to overlook the company's bankruptcy for her sake. It was Ruan Hua who wouldn't let things settle down, and things gradually turned out like this. Ruan Hua deserves to die!"

"Before Lu Rang's mother died, she still thought her best friend meant well. She left a will telling me not to dwell on the past and to take good care of Lu Rang. Now, I can't deal with the culprit who caused my wife's depression and suicide by jumping into the lake. The culprit's daughter is going to marry my son and continue to enjoy the Yu family's wealth that I worked so hard to build. How can I be willing to accept this?"

Lu Zheng's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

Shangwu is the same.

She was breathing rapidly, staring blankly at her phone screen, her whole body trembling.

Lu noticed something was wrong and stopped the car.
