Chapter 158 Falling into the hands of someone close to you
Tang Xueli paused in her steps.
She turned around to face Shang Wu, her gaze sweeping over the scar on her face.
"Awu, you've already suffered enough here. Don't say anything careless and cause trouble for yourself."
She patted Shang Wu's arm reassuringly.
It's as if she wants to include the fact that she ruined Su Tingting on her own initiative in Shang Wu's body as well.
Shang Wu scoffed, shook off her hand, and threw it away along with the bank card.
"You did the deed, but I'm the one who suffers Su Tingting's retaliation. Even so, I haven't said a bad word about you. And yet, you're afraid of offending the Su family, so you won't even let me make a phone call?"
She tore off Tang Xueli's hypocritical facade: "These days, you've been getting close to President Shang of Chengzhou Group and the future wife of the Yu family, but never to me, Shang Wu."
Tang Xueli's expression gradually changed.
She clenched her fists angrily and turned to look at Shang Wu.
"Isn't the pursuit of fame and fortune human nature? I approached you because you were so successful."
“We were classmates when we were abroad, so we didn’t have any ulterior motives when we were eating, drinking and having fun. Now I am the president of the Tang Group.”
"I have to support countless people, so I have to get close to those who are most beneficial to me! I have no choice!"
Shang Wu just wanted to laugh.
She still fell for someone she was close to.
From now on, she will avoid making friends and think about it carefully.
"Furthermore, isn't Su Tingting's disfigurement your fault? If you could keep Lu Rang as his fiancée, Su Tingting wouldn't dare utter a sound in your presence!"
Tang Xueli deliberately lowered her voice and glanced up at the distance, afraid that her friends would hear her.
"Keep quiet, or I won't let you off the hook!"
She dropped all pretense, glared fiercely at Shang Wu, picked up her bank card, and left.
Shang Wu pursed her lips, her eyes growing increasingly dark.
"They're slacking off and not doing any work!"
The manager's reprimands came from downstairs.
The man stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at Shang Wu with displeasure.
Shang Wu withdrew her gaze, returned to the private room, and opened the window to look outside.
No, even though it's only the second floor, the building is too tall to walk out of the window.
She closed the window, lost in thought.
On the other side.
Tang Xueli had already entered the private room, but she still couldn't sit still and got up.
Seeing that she was distracted, her friend asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about Shang Wu?"
Tang Xueli pouted.
In a way, yes.
"Yes, I need to go see her again."
"No way! Don't be so kind and get yourself into trouble!"
Ignoring her friends' words, Tang Xueli went outside and made a phone call.
After the call connected, she switched to a solicitous tone: "Tingting, are you busy?"
Su Tingting said coldly, "Just say what you have to say! Stop beating around the bush!"
Tang Xueli hurriedly said, "I just came to the club to meet with friends and ran into Awu. She wanted to borrow my phone to call for help and even asked me to pin the blame for your disfigurement on me."
After she finished speaking, Su Tingting suddenly paused.
"But even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to rashly deal with the Su family. With your father's methods, can the Tang Group withstand them? This was really at her behest!"
"But we've known each other since college, and we even shared an apartment when we were studying abroad. Could you... could you please not hold it against her?"
Tang Xueli asked cautiously, secretly admiring how succinctly she had phrased her words.
If this phone call is made, and Shang Wu dares to reveal the truth about this matter in the future, Su Tingting will see it as nothing more than shirking responsibility.
As for her, she had no grudges or conflicts with Su Tingting, and considering they would be doing business together, Su Tingting wouldn't do anything to her.
"Call up?"
Su Tingting finally spoke, her voice tinged with anger, "Who is she going to call!"
Tang Xueli said, "It must be Lu Rang, the young master of the Yu family. She was so glamorous as the wife of the Yu family before, but now she's been brought back to square one. She must be unwilling to accept it and will continue to pester Lu Rang."
Upon hearing this, Su Tingting smiled slowly.
She sighed, "Shang Wu, Shang Wu, you used to be able to seduce a few men with that face, but now what makes you think you can bother the young master of the Yu family?"
"Okay, I understand. I won't hold it against you. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xueli slowly exhaled and glanced downstairs. Coincidentally, she saw Shang Wu staring at the floor, listening to the manager's reprimand.
Not far away, a group of familiar-looking playboys were whispering, whistling, and making jokes.
Tang Xueli remained expressionless, withdrew her gaze, and returned to the private room.
"Did you hear me! Hurry up, each private room needs to be cleaned within fifteen minutes!"
Seeing the men watching the spectacle with great interest, the manager became even more enraged with his insults.
Shang Wu lowered her eyes, seemingly obedient, but her gaze was cold, ignoring all the unpleasant voices and malicious stares.
After the manager finished scolding and went to work, Shang Wu looked up, watched him go to personally take care of the guests, and then turned around and took the opportunity to walk towards the work area.
The club's work areas are all on the basement level.
Everyone was doing their own thing, some carrying cleaning tools, others carrying wine glasses and work clothes, hurrying back and forth, and no one paid any attention to Shang Wu.
Shang Wu weaved through them and soon arrived at the manager's office.
She pretended that someone was inside, knocked on the door, went in, and then closed the door.
The office lights were on, and the room, which had no windows, was filled with men's clothes, smelly socks, and unfinished instant noodles, creating an unpleasant odor.
Shang Wu frowned, pinched her nose, and began searching the office.
The manager is going to meet with guests and won't be back for less than half an hour. He certainly won't be carrying the confiscated phone with him.
This isn't anything valuable, so I doubt I would put it away specifically.
Shang Wu walked to the computer desk by the window and opened the drawer to rummage through it.
Still no.
She turned her gaze to the lockers.
The third cabinet door was closed and locked, but coincidentally, the key was still in the locker.
Shang Wu walked over, turned the key, opened the cabinet door, and tiptoed inside to feel around.
cell phone!
She was pleasantly surprised and grabbed her phone.
It's not hers.
It's okay, as long as I can make a phone call.
Shang Wu pressed the power button, and after two seconds, the screen displayed "low battery".
She was anxious, so she quickly found the power strip on the table, plugged the charging cable into her phone, and pressed the power button.
After fiddling with it for three minutes, the phone finally turned on.
Shang Wu didn't linger, afraid that the manager might suddenly return. She put her phone in her pocket and turned to leave the office.
Still, no one noticed her.
Shang Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs to continue cleaning.
After the guests in the private room left, she went in, closed the door, picked up her phone, and walked to a corner.
Three percent of the electricity is enough.
Shang Wu entered Lu Rang's number and dialed it.
The phone beeped and connected.
A pleasant yet sharp voice came from inside.
Who is it?
Upon suddenly hearing Lu Rang's voice, Shang Wu felt an urge to cry, even though she had prepared herself mentally.
She spoke in a trembling voice, "I..."
Before Shang Wu could even utter a second word after the syllable was uttered, a large hand suddenly appeared behind her and tightly covered her mouth!
My phone was taken from my hand.
Shang Wu struggled desperately, but she was no match for the man's explosive arm strength.
The man said, "Sorry, wrong number."
Lu Rang paused slightly, then said coldly, "The person who called me just now was a woman. And who are you?"
"I already said it was a wrong number. That was my wife just now. She dialed the wrong number too. I'm hanging up!"
The man hung up the phone, threw it down, and stomped on it hard.
The phone was instantly deformed and looked terrible.
Shang Wu was also pushed away by the man.
She looked up and saw Su Tingting standing at the door, a half-smile on her face.
"Who are you calling, Ah-Wu?"
Su Tingting walked over, and she didn't seem angry.
Shang Wu, however, found her smile chilling.
"Is it Lu Rang, or someone else?"
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.
Su Tingting sighed: "It seems you still haven't given up on the idea. You actually think that someone as noble and self-possessed as the young master of the Yu family is still hung up on you, Shang Wu."
She smiled in the kitchen and looked at the bodyguard.
"Tell me, how can we help Shang Wu face reality?"
The bodyguard shrugged: "It's just a matter of what Miss says. You only need to say a word, and now this woman is in your hands. You can do whatever you want with her."
"Yes, do whatever you want."
Su Tingting walked step by step to Shang Wu, pinched her chin, and carefully examined the injury on her face.
"Actually, you're still quite good-looking even with your disfigurement. What can I do? I'm still a little annoyed."
"Cleaning here isn't the kind of life you find most unacceptable, right?"
"Since you're so delusional and want to be with a man, then I'll grant your wish."
Shang Wu's heart sank heavily, and she asked coldly, "What do you want to do to me?"
"Here's what we'll do. There's an underground trading venue opening tonight where anything can be auctioned, including... your night."
Su Tingting's smile gradually widened, and she found it even funnier to see Shang Wu's stunned expression.
Shang Wu clenched her fists and said after a long while, "The feud between us was not caused by me. Tang Xueli disfigured your face without my permission. If you want revenge, you've come to the wrong person."
"I see..."
Su Tingting wasn't surprised at all, and curled her lip in disdain: "But if you hadn't instructed her, she wouldn't have done it, right? There's a reason for the wrong, and I still have to settle accounts with you."
Seeing her seemingly indifferent attitude despite knowing the truth, Shang Wu instantly realized what was going on.
Su Tingting has already spoken with Tang Xueli.
It's obvious that Shirley Tong pushed all the blame onto her.
"Alright, Shang Wu, stop racking your brains to frame others. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions!"
After saying that, she pushed Shang Wu away.
Shang Wu staggered two steps before being grabbed by the bodyguard.
"Take her away and spread the word that the women the young master of the Yu family has slept with will be auctioned off on the black market."
Su Tingting glanced at Shang Wu casually: "Price: 200,000."
The bodyguard didn't understand, "Is she really worth that much money?"
"If everything is preceded by the words 'Young Master Yu,' then it's all worth it."
Su Tingting laughed heartily, raised her hand, and gestured for him to take the person away.
Shang Wu kept her eyes down and remained silent until the bodyguard tried to drag her out. Only then did she quickly raise her hand and stab the shard of glass in her palm.
The bodyguard cried out in pain, instinctively releasing Shang Wu and clutching his bleeding arm.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shang Wu approached Su Tingting.
Su Tingting screamed in fright and turned to run away.
Shang Wu decisively ran in the opposite direction and hid in the men's restroom before Su Tingting's people caught up.
The men who were washing their faces were stunned when they saw that she was wearing staff uniforms.
Shang Wu, with a sullen face and without saying a word, walked straight past them and pushed open the bathroom window.
The second floor is about three meters above the ground.
Shang Wu gritted her teeth and stepped onto the window without hesitation.
