Shang Wu was completely unaware of this at the restaurant.

She finally made it to the end of dinner, politely saw Qi Yan off, and stood alone in the cool night breeze. She let out a long sigh of relief, feeling utterly exhausted.

What kind of mess is this...?

She dragged her slightly tired steps back to the apartment, her mind still replaying Qi Yan's ambiguous attitude.

Shang Wu shook her head, trying to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts. Just as she took off her coat, her phone rang.

It was Lu You calling.

"Awu! Are you alright?" As soon as the call connected, Lu You's anxious voice came through.

"Cheng Zhou just called me and said his crazy sister went to the law firm again and caused trouble? She even brought some photos to slander you for dating someone else? That's outrageous! You weren't wronged, were you?"

Shang Wu was stunned for a moment, then a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she felt more speechless and irritated.

That Cheng Keke is a real jinx; she doesn't leave and moves so fast.

She sighed and briefly recounted to Lu You her encounter with Qi Yan, a major client, that evening, and how she was forced to attend a business dinner.

"So that's what happened. I don't know how Cheng Keke just happened to see it, took pictures, and went to Lu Rang to spread nonsense." Shang Wu rubbed her temples, feeling exhausted.

Lu You was furious when she heard this on the other end of the phone.

"I knew it! That brat's head is full of dirty thoughts! Just because she can't get a man herself, she thinks everyone in the world is like her! Did Lu Rang misunderstand you?"

"I was just about to go find him."

Shang Wu checked the time. "I have to go and report it to him in person, so he won't have any lingering resentment."

"Shall I go with you?"

"No need, Sister You, I can go by myself. You should get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Wu didn't even bother to rest. She grabbed her car keys and went out again, heading straight for the law firm.

Most of the employees in the law firm had already left work, but Lu Rang's office light was still on.

Shang Wu gently pushed open the door and saw Lu Rang sitting behind his desk, facing the computer screen with a slight frown, as if he was dealing with something difficult.

Hearing the door open, Lu Rang looked up and saw Shang Wu. The seriousness on his face instantly turned into tenderness.

He stood up and came over: "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to go home and get some rest?"

He naturally took her bag and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

Shang Wu looked at him, carefully observing his expression, and saw that he did not seem to have any displeasure or suspicion.

"Um..." she began hesitantly, "there's something I need to tell you. I met a client tonight, someone I've met before..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Rang gently grasped her hand: "No need to say anything. Sister You just sent me a message and briefly explained it. I believe you."

He paused, his tone carrying both unwavering trust and a hint of annoyance towards Cheng Keke.

“I don’t believe a single word that kind of person says. I know my Awu better than anyone. Meeting clients and socializing are normal work requirements, I understand.”

Shang Wu was surprised by his decisiveness and breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little embarrassed.

"I might have more contact with this client in the future, and I'm worried..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Rang raised an eyebrow, deliberately speaking in a relaxed tone, "Afraid I'll be jealous? To be honest, I am a little bit."

He leaned closer to her, nuzzling his nose against her cheek, with a hint of coquetry in his voice.

"The thought of you having dinner with other men makes me uncomfortable, but I trust you, so just do your job as usual and don't feel guilty."

As he spoke, a fleeting hint of jealousy and possessiveness flashed across his eyes.

His Ah Wu is so outstanding and dazzling, it's perfectly normal for her to be noticed by other men.

But his sense of crisis was still involuntarily triggered.

He simply chose to suppress it with reason and trust, so as not to cause her any trouble.

Seeing that he was clearly a little jealous but was trying his best to act magnanimous, Shang Wu's heart melted completely.

She hugged him and kissed him on the lips: "This is a reward for you!"

After cuddling together for a while, Shang Wu leaned against Lu Rang's chest, but her eyes slowly sharpened.

"However, we can't let this matter with Cheng Keke go. She has repeatedly provoked and harassed me. Does she really think I'm someone to be trifled with?"

It's time to teach her a real lesson and let her know what it means to make a mess of things.

Lu Rang saw the glint in her eyes and knew she had an idea.

He asked with a smile, "What are your plans? Do you need my help?"

Shang Wu smiled lightly: "You don't need to take action. To deal with this kind of spoiled little princess, we need to find a different way."

She took out her phone and called Cheng Zhou directly.

Cheng Zhou was very nervous when he received Shang Wu's call, thinking that his sister had caused trouble again, and apologized repeatedly.

Shang Wu said calmly, "Cheng Zhou, there's no need for apologies. I want to ask you something: what are your mother, Madam Cheng's, hobbies? For example, where do she usually go for afternoon tea? Or what salon activities does she attend?"

Cheng Zhou was taken aback by the question. Although he didn't understand what Shang Wu wanted to do, he still answered honestly: "My mom really likes to go to the glass conservatory for afternoon tea with a few regular friends. Why?"

"It's nothing, thanks." Shang Wu hung up the phone after getting the information she wanted.

Lu Rang raised an eyebrow at her: "You want to run into 'Madam'?"

Shang Wu's eyes gleamed. "Let's start from the source. The reason Cheng Keke is so reckless is simply because she relies on her family's doting affection. What if even the person who spoils her the most thinks she's done something wrong?"
