Shang Wu was known in circles for having a great life.
When she was down and out, the Cheng Zhou Crown Prince pulled her out of the abyss, doting on and protecting her, unwilling to let her s...
Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Shang Yun Shen's voice was very soft, "It's Shang... I'm sorry."
He raised his eyes, looking at Lu Rang with a complicated expression, then glanced past him at the shocked Shang Wu.
Shang Yunshen continued, "My mother regretted her actions before she passed away. She regretted the things she did back then, and she mentioned it more than once."
Lu Rang frowned slightly.
He didn't expect to hear this.
That domineering and mean woman who ruined his mother and indirectly ruined him, actually regrets it?
Shang Yun Shen took in his reaction and turned his head slightly.
He seemed to have exhausted himself saying these words: "So I will no longer interfere in your affairs. I hope you will be happy."
He paused, as if he had completed a task, and took out an old-looking envelope from the inside pocket of his coat, handing it to Shang Wu.
Shang Yunshen's tone returned to its usual calm: "I went to tidy up the things in the old house and found this, the bank card you left at home before."
Shang Wu took the envelope in a daze.
After finishing this task, Shang Yun Shen seemed unwilling to stay a moment longer and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his back to them, and remained silent for a moment.
Just when Shang Wu and Lu Rang thought he wouldn't say anything more, Shang Yun Shen's deep voice came again.
"Shangwu," he called her by her full name, but his tone was no longer cold, "I hope you can truly be happy."
After saying that, he didn't look back, but strode away, his figure quickly disappearing into the light at the garage exit.
The two people left behind remained silent for a long time.
Lu Rang maintained his guarded posture, but his eyes momentarily relaxed.
Shang Wu looked in the direction her brother had disappeared, then looked down at the old envelope in her hand and the dazzling new ring on her ring finger, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Lu Rang turned around, walked to Shang Wu, gently embraced her, rested his chin on the top of her head, and let out a long sigh.
“It seems,” he said with a relieved smile, “that we will have no more obstacles in our way.”
Shang Wu raised her eyes, looked in the direction Shang Yun Shen had left, and nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Rang lowered his head and gently kissed Shang Wu's forehead, his tone returning to ease: "Come on, I'll take you to see our future."
"The future?" Shang Wu raised her eyes, curious.
"Yes, my law firm is in a pretty good location."
Lu Rang took her hand, their fingers intertwined, and led her to another vehicle.
"Let your future boss's wife go and inspect it first."
Shang Wu smiled.
The car drove smoothly toward the city center.
Shang Wu looked at the street scene rushing past the window, then couldn't help but lower her head and stroke the ring on her ring finger, feeling as if she were in a dream.
Upon arriving at the office building where Lu worked, Lu Rang parked the car and took out his phone: "I'll ask my sister to come and take a look. She's been talking about it for a long time, but I think you'll be the first person to come and visit."
He dialed Lu You's number, and it rang several times before being answered.
The background noise was somewhat chaotic, with faint traces of melodious piano music.
"Hello? A-Rang?" Lu You's voice sounded like she was in a good mood.
“I brought A-Wu to the law firm. Come and take a look?” Lu Rang asked.
Lu You's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, with the clear sound of cutlery clattering in the background.
"Oh? Now? I'm afraid that's not possible."
"Where are you? Why are you making so much noise?"
"Me?" Lu You drawled, a hint of ease in her voice. "I'm eating at Chef Cheng's restaurant. Hmm, the lobster is really good, I'm not exaggerating."
Lu Rang: "..."
Shang Wu heard it too and couldn't help but chuckle.
This woman is incredibly proactive!
Lu Rang rubbed his temples: "Then enjoy your drink slowly, don't forget to pay the bill, and don't scare people with your alcohol."
"Okay, okay! Stop nagging!" Lu You laughed and hung up the phone.
Lu Rang put away his phone and looked at Shang Wu: "How come she gets along so well with Cheng Zhou?"
Shang Wu smiled and took his arm: "How would I know? Take me to see it quickly."
The two walked together toward the law firm.
Yan Yue was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Shang Wu, he ran over.
