She looked at Chen Mian with a clear mind: "Zhou Yanci doesn't like anyone. He only loves interests and himself. He will only choose whoever is beneficial to him and can bring her a better experience."

"I'm just a little more useful than you. Do you think that's something to be proud of?"

Shang Wu's eyes instantly filled with hatred.

If she hadn't been useful to the merchants, they wouldn't have been targeted by Zhou Yanci for no reason.

Back then, everyone said that Zhou Yanci was the light that descended from heaven.

Even knowing the business was a mess, he still defied all opposition to take her away and pampered her into the person countless women dreamed of being.

yes.

This is how Zhou Yanci sought media hype.

It is said that every woman who wants to get married wants to be like Shang Wu, and every woman's ideal type is Zhou Yanci.

But if she hadn't gained the approval of the shareholders, she would have been kicked out by Zhou Yanci long ago.

On the surface, Zhou Yanci is engaged to her, but his real intention is to keep her firmly by his side and make her create value for the company.

Shang Wu sometimes felt resentful that she had to meet Zhou Yanci in high school, and she also resented that Zhou Yanci came from a privileged background and was treated as prey to be exploited and devoured.

What she hated most was that Zhou Yanci had chosen her, and that she was someone Zhou Yanci could use.

Chenmian's eyes flickered as she looked at Shang Wu.

"Then tell me, how can you help me escape?"

Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and looked at her, who was on the verge of collapse.

"As I just said, Zhou Yanci doesn't truly love me. He chose me because I'm more useful to him than you. I feel the same way; I only help you if you're valuable to me."

Understanding her meaning, Chenmian gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.

She looked up at Shang Wu.

"I have a secret to tell you."

Shang Wu became interested: "Tell me about it."

After a moment of hesitation, as if he had made a great decision, he finally raised his head and looked at her.

"Your father has always been raised in the countryside and is in poor health, right?"

Shang Wu's smile froze instantly.

She pursed her lips and stared coldly at Chenmian: "Continue."

Chenmian said, "Zhou Yanci said that the value you created for him in the jewelry department was not enough. He needs to control your parents, so he had the nanny who cooks your parents' three meals a day poison them."

Shang Wu gripped the bed sheet tightly, her heart clenching instantly.

"No, those things can't really be called poison. It's just that if you take them for a long time, you'll feel weak all over and your body will be deficient in various ways."

"He used this to create the illusion that your father was sickly and had to stay in the countryside."

"Only in this way can he openly send people to take care of your parents, so that if you ever want to leave him or become restless, he can use your father to threaten you, and also..."

Chenmian hadn't finished speaking yet.

She took a deep breath and looked at Shang Wu.

“Your brother is in prison, and he’s also having people watching him. They’re constantly picking fights with your brother.”

“He did this not out of revenge, but to make sure that news of your brother being beaten wouldn’t reach your ears, and to see if you had been keeping an eye on things.”

Shang Wu listened, slowly clenching her fist.

She had actually expected it.

The maid who always stayed by her parents' side was clearly Zhou Yanci's spy.

She also knew that her brother's injuries were deliberately arranged by someone in the prison.

But what she never expected was that Zhou Yanci, in order to control her parents, actually had the servants poison her father.

No wonder my father was just as devastated as my mother after his business went bankrupt, and he couldn't cheer up anymore.

Mingming's parents were able to build their business from scratch, and they have a tenacious character that will not be defeated by any setbacks.

Besides, even if her brother goes to jail, she's still there.

Even if it's just for her sake, her parents will definitely pull themselves together to take care of her.

For this reason, Shang Wu still remembers how worried she was for the past three years.

It was Zhou Yanci who found so-called experts to treat her father's illness, and her father's spirits improved from time to time.

Zhou Yanci kept subtly and overtly telling her that he had been kind to her.

It turns out that everything was orchestrated by Zhou Yanci herself.

If you need to establish a persona, then stop administering the medication.

Tell her when her father is feeling better; it's all thanks to him, and she should be extremely grateful.

She harbored an unspeakable hatred in her heart.

Shang Wu looked at the slumbering figure before her.

"Do you know what she used on my father?"

"Only the servant who works for your father should know this."

Chenmian looked at her; the wound on her face was still bleeding.

She was trembling all over from the pain, but in order to live, she could only force herself to endure it, looking longingly at Shang Wu.

"Is what I've told you enough to get you to help me leave?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and looked at her with a half-smile.

"That's not enough. You have to do something for me."
