Chapter 20 Breakup: Whoever Regrets It Is a Jerk
Shang Wu followed behind Ji Yu and looked inside, seeing the two kissing.
Zhou Yanci sat on the edge of the bed, supporting herself on the bed with one hand and pressing down on the sleeping man's shoulder with the other.
She tilted her head back and pressed her lips to his, kissing him until her cheeks flushed.
This scene was deeply etched into Shang Wu's mind.
She felt nauseous and suppressed her nausea.
Ji Yu exclaimed, "What...what are you doing?!"
Zhou Yanci froze, then immediately pushed Chenmian aside and stood up.
He turned to meet Shang Wu's calm eyes, his expression changed slightly, and without thinking, he pointed at Chen Mian.
"It was her, she took the initiative. I just didn't have time to push her away. Ah Wu, don't misunderstand me."
She bit her lip in embarrassment, her eyes red and silent, her hands gripping the sheets tightly.
Shang Wu found it funny.
I didn't have time to push it away.
They were kissing so passionately that they couldn't bear to part, yet they still had the nerve to come up with such a lame excuse.
She glanced at Chenmian indifferently and went inside.
"It was Miss Shen who took the initiative to seduce you. Are you sure you didn't make any advances towards her even for a second?"
Shang Wu's gaze was sharp, carrying a coldness that she would never normally show.
Zhou Yanci's eyes darted around, his back was unusually tense, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "Yes, she forced herself on me."
The flush on Chenmian's face faded, and she looked at him pitifully.
Shang Wu nodded: "Alright, so it was Miss Shen who was shameless and deliberately seduced me."
Since Zhou Yanci insists on shifting the blame onto his precious darling, she shouldn't blame her for turning her attention to Chen Mian.
She turned around and, before any of the three of them could react, picked up a glass of warm water from the table and poured it over Chenmian's head.
What are you doing!
Zhou Yan's tone suddenly became anxious, but it was too late when she stepped forward to grab Shang Wu's arm.
Water flowed down from her sleeping hair, soaking her and the bed.
Zhou Yanci immediately took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Shen Mian, his tone as cold as ice: "Shang Wu, you've gone too far! Shen Mian was just taken to the hospital because she faints at the sight of blood, and she hasn't recovered yet. How could you splash water on her!"
“That’s right…” Ji Yu was about to chime in, but when she met Shang Wu’s icy gaze, the words stuck in her throat.
Shang Wu said indifferently, "You haven't recovered yet, but you have the energy to seduce my fiancé? What, Miss Shen, is there a system that allows you to seduce other people's boyfriends? If you don't throw yourself into their arms and become a mistress, you'll self-destruct?"
Zhou Yanci and Ji Yu were both stunned.
Having known Shang Wu for so long, I've never heard her say anything so sharp and sarcastic, yet so irrefutable.
Chenmian trembled with anger, and weakly said with a sob in her voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Shang, it's all my fault. I still had lustful thoughts about Aci, and I couldn't control myself..."
"Is being unable to control your emotions your excuse for being provocative anytime, anywhere?" Shang Wu scoffed.
Zhou Yanci's face turned completely cold. Without thinking, she blocked Chen Mian's path: "Your words are too awful! It's an insult! I won't allow you to talk about her like that!"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes.
She deliberately spilled a glass of water and said a few unpleasant words, and Zhou Yanci completely forgot about the deep affection he had pretended to have for three years.
That's true love.
"Are you yelling at me because of her?" Shang Wu raised an eyebrow and pressed for an answer.
Zhou Yanci became increasingly agitated.
In the past few days, no matter what unpleasant things happened, he was the one who humbled himself and coaxed Shang Wu, and he didn't even care when he was slapped twice.
Unexpectedly, this became the source of Shang Wu's audacity to take advantage of her and become unruly and throw tantrums at will!
He deliberately wanted to make Shang Wu feel threatened, raising his voice: "You hit and curse people without paying attention to your words and actions. What's the difference between you and a shrew? What qualifications do you have to be the future young mistress of the Zhou family?"
Shang Wu remained silent.
Zhou Yanci thought she had finally realized her mistake, so he feigned indifference: "I think we should calm down..."
Shang Wu interrupted him, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered resolute words: "There's no need to calm down, let's break up."
As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them looked at her with shocked expressions.
Ji Yu blurted out, "Really? You're willing to break up with Yan Ci?"
"When have I ever said anything about breaking up out of anger?" Shang Wufeng said calmly.
Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
"I only said a few words to you, and you want to break up? Shang Wu, you'd better not regret it."
Shang Wu casually picked up her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and turned around, tossing out a sentence: "Whoever regrets it is a coward."
She walked out of the ward without looking back.
Zhou Yanci raised her foot to chase after him, but forcibly held back.
A flicker of excitement flashed in Chenmian's eyes, and she subconsciously went to him: "Yanci, this... I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Zhou Yanci pursed her thin lips, feigning calmness: "It doesn't matter, let her break up if she wants. Don't think I'll chase after her and coax her every time!"
His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched until they turned white.
Ji Yu laughed, unconcerned, and said, "Shang Wu was just upset to see you two kissing. She'll obediently beg for forgiveness in a couple of days."
In everyone's eyes, Shang Wu was grateful to Zhou Yanci, deeply loved Zhou Yanci, and was willing to dedicate everything to her.
separate?
impossible.
Shang Wu dreamed of marrying into the Zhou family.
Zhou Yanci also thinks so.
He turned his face away, forcing out through gritted teeth, "This time I will never try to coax her again!"
Ji Yu's eyes flickered, and she seized the opportunity to say, "How about we show her something even worse?"
Zhou Yanci frowned.
"Tell the jewelry department that Shang Wu is not feeling well lately and ask her to take a two-day break. I will handle everything and act as the acting director."
After Ji Yu finished speaking, she realized that Zhou Yanci hadn't listened.
Zhou Yanci said cautiously: "Shang Wu is the backbone of the jewelry department, and we cannot suspend her from her post at will."
"She wouldn't really let the jewelry department fall into her hands. This is just an excuse to force her to admit her mistakes, to let her know that not only is the position of the young mistress of the Zhou family, but also the jewelry department that she has managed is not something you can take back just because you want to."
Ji Yu continued to coax him patiently, desperately trying to get him to agree.
Zhou Yanci thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so she simply nodded and let her do it.
After the person left, he glanced at Chenmian and said indifferently, "Let the nurse come and change your clothes and sheets."
Chenmian quickly grabbed his hand: "Aci, I kissed you just now, and you didn't pull away."
Zhou paused, speaking briefly.
"You..." A glimmer of hope flickered in Chenmian's eyes, "...don't you still have feelings for me...?"
Zhou Yanci lowered her eyes, her icy gaze falling on Shen Mian with a faint warning.
"It was just an accident. I hope it won't happen again, understand?"
Chenmian bit her lip and slowly released his hand.
Feeling irritated, Zhou Yanci turned and left.
Just you wait and see.
Within two days, Shang Wu will definitely come back obediently.
...
bar.
Cups clinked, laughter filled the air.
Shang Wu sat alone at a single table in the corner, swirling the wine glass in her hand.
Suddenly everything went dark, and someone sat down.
"Sister, is anyone here?"
Shang Wu looked up and saw a sunny young man in front of her, who was about twenty years old and wearing a black and white hoodie.
She took a sip of her drink, leaned back on the sofa, and gave him a casual glance.
"What, you want to hit on me?"
The boy was taken aback, not expecting her to be so direct. He smiled confidently yet shyly: "Is it not allowed? Or is it that you're not single?"
"I'm single."
Shang Wu said meaningfully, "However, there are so many men in the world, where do you get the confidence that you can succeed in striking up a conversation with me?"
The boy wasn't discouraged; instead, he leaned closer and winked at her.
"Am I young, handsome, and strong? Do I count as an asset that attracts you?"
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow, sizing up his physique, which was neither thin nor muscular, as shown under his hoodie.
She nodded: "Her figure is just right."
The boy smiled and took out his phone: "Let's add each other on WeChat..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly reached out and tapped on the table.
Shang Wu and the boy looked up together.
It might be because it's a bit hot, or it might be because I drank too much.
Shang Wu's face flushed slightly, and after a few seconds of reaction, she slowly asked, "Lu Rang?"
Lu Rang draped his coat over his arm, and the collar of his black wool sweater was slightly open, just revealing his collarbone.
He ignored Shang Wu and looked at the boy: "You're sitting in my seat."
The boy stood up, looked at Shang Wu, and left reluctantly.
After the person left, Shang Wu felt disappointed: "What are you doing?"
What are you doing?
Lu Rang retorted, "Aren't you afraid Zhou Yanci will find out if you come here to chat her up?"
Upon hearing him mention this person, Shang Wu's good mood vanished. She picked up her bag to pay the bill, but failed to enter her phone password several times.
The cashier looked helpless: "Miss, you're holding your phone upside down."
"oh……"
Shang Wu turned the phone sideways again.
"No, you have to take it like this." The cashier picked up her phone and demonstrated.
Shang Wu glared at him angrily: "You already have a cell phone, why do you need mine?"
The cashier was completely baffled.
The next second, Shang Wu's collar was grabbed.
Lu Rang pulled her behind him, paid the bill, and then led her out by the arm, always keeping a distance of half a meter.
Shang Wu, in her drunken state, concluded that this guy hated her.
She deliberately quickened her pace, and when Lu Rang pushed open the door, she intentionally bumped into him, meeting his slightly furrowed brows with a satisfied smile.
Am I strong?
Lu Rang looked down at her calmly, as if he were looking at a fool.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
Shang Wu looked down and saw that her hand had been cut by the coat button in Lu Rang's arm.
She didn't feel anything, but her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she choked out, "It hurts."
Lu Rang took a deep breath and pulled her outside.
Shang Wu stumbled along behind, and after a few steps she squatted down, hugged herself and cried.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..."
It hurts everywhere.
It hurts so much to endure the taunts of the betrayers every single moment.
A cold wind blew, and Shang Wu shivered involuntarily.
Lu Rang bent down and pulled her up.
Shang Wu couldn't stand steadily and could only lean on him.
The man so close to her was too handsome, dazzling her eyes.
She was thinking, if Zhou Yanci was so shameless, he could kiss Shen Mian, so why couldn't she kiss other men?
Shang Wu tiptoed and grabbed Lu Rang's collar to kiss him.
The neckline of the wool sweater was stretched and deformed.
A dark glint flashed in Lu Rang's eyes. He raised his hand and pinched Shang Wu's chin.
"Shangwu".
His voice was low and deep, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Make sure you know who I am."
Shang Wu blinked: "You are Lu Rang."
She asked matter-of-factly, "So what? Give it to me?"
