Chapter 103 Green, what's wrong with you? Just bear with it.
After reading the document, Shang Wu's expression remained unchanged.
She looked up and calmly stared at Qianjue: "I thought your husband was going to throw a sum of money in my face, or use my brother's situation to coerce or entice me. I didn't expect you to do things differently."
“My husband is a man of high moral character and would never do such a thing, nor would he make a deal with you without respecting you.”
Qianjue stood up and said calmly, "You can decide for yourself whether to agree or not. The master has only one request: after the merchant case is over, you and the young master should cut off all contact and sever all ties."
Shang Wu pursed her lips and remained silent.
After Qianjue left, she picked up the document and read it over and over again before calling Lu Rang directly.
“That blockhead lunatic in your family contacted me, saying that his husband can erase my brother’s prison record after he gets out, on the condition that he sever ties with you and let you go to marry him. What do you think I should do?”
She finished speaking in one breath, and it was obvious that Lu Rang was somewhat taken aback.
After a long pause, Lu Rang asked, "Why don't you just agree to him? You care about your brother so much, I thought you would agree."
Shang Wu gripped her phone tightly: "Because I'm greedy, I don't want to sever ties with you, and I want my brother's prison record erased. Lu Rang, can you resolve this?"
She was blatantly open about her thoughts.
She refused to part ways with Lu Rang.
He was her strongest support and reliable helper throughout her entire revenge plan.
It was an absolute heart-fluttering experience she had never had, even when she had completely trusted Zhou Yanci.
That's how greedy she is.
She wants the man's benefits, and she also wants the benefits from her family.
After a moment, Lu Rang chuckled softly on the phone: "Shang Wu, this is the first time I've seen you like this."
"Then do you hate it?" Shang Wu asked back.
Lu Rang's voice was a little hoarse: "I like it very much."
Shang Wu's heart skipped a beat; she felt embarrassed.
Lu Rang spoke again: "I'll make a deal with you too. I'll help you resolve this matter, but once the merchant case is over, you'll have to sign a contract with me."
“Okay, it’s a deal.” Shang Wu agreed without hesitation.
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "Aren't you even going to ask what kind of contract it is?"
"I won't ask any more questions. I'll sign with you. It's settled then."
Shang Wu's gaze was intense, her lips curved into a smile, and her bright eyes were full of certainty.
...
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward.
The ward was shrouded in an indescribable sense of oppression.
Zhou Yanci lay on the hospital bed, coldly watching the people being escorted over by the bodyguards.
He hadn't shaved for three days; stubble was peeking out on his chin, and his eyes looked gloomy.
Under his gaze, the man trembled: "It really is true, I saw it with my own eyes. When I passed by the president's office, I saw President Shang and Attorney Lu kissing."
The bodyguard immediately looked at Zhou Yanci, wondering what was going on.
"Mr. Zhou, it seems Miss Shang has completely changed her mind. She still refuses to break up with Lu Rang. What should we do?"
Zhou Yanci closed her eyes, rubbing the back of her hand with her fingers, and after a long while asked, "Where was Chenmian's medicine when she was captured?"
"I don't know, she wouldn't say, but it's no longer on her person."
The bodyguard couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to use this against Miss Shang?"
Zhou Yanci shifted her body slightly.
Perhaps because he had been lying in the hospital bed for so long, he didn't feel that his body was getting better and better. On the contrary, he felt tired all over, couldn't muster any energy, and even breathing was difficult.
"See where else you can get this kind of medicine. Find the doctor who is in charge of her father's regular check-ups and have him prescribe another strong dose. There will be plenty of times when Shang Wu comes begging me for help."
Zhou Yanci thought for a moment, then raised her hand again: "Don't tell Xiao Dong about this. I suspect that he's starting to side with Shang Wu now that I haven't been back to the company for a while."
"good."
The bodyguard agreed and turned to leave.
After the bodyguard left, Zhou Yanci looked gloomy and took out his phone to call Shang Wu.
As soon as the call connected, he asked in his usual tone, "Awu, why didn't you tell me you were discharged from the hospital? And why didn't you come to see me today?"
Shang Wu paused, then said in a lukewarm tone, "You know the company has a few projects to discuss. I also had the nurses at the hospital tell you about my discharge before I came here. What, didn't the nurses tell you?"
"I did get the message, but I didn't get to see you before you were discharged from the hospital, and you didn't come to see me either. I feel a bit uneasy about it." Zhou Yanci's tone was relaxed, but her expression on the other end of the phone was very gloomy.
He asked, "Where are you now? Would you like to come over and see me when you're done with your work?"
Shang Wu was a little puzzled, but said calmly, "I have a leg injury and it's inconvenient for me to walk around. Let's talk on the phone."
"No."
Zhou Yanci smiled: "I think this matter should be discussed in person, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Shang Wu had no idea what he was up to, but reluctantly agreed, "Okay, you wait here, I'll have A Ying take me there right now."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Wu suppressed her irritation and was helped downstairs by A Ying.
Her leg pain had worsened, and she was walking with a slight limp.
Seeing this, Aying couldn't help but advise, "President Shang, is it really necessary for you to work so hard? Doing everything yourself, what if you develop a chronic leg injury?"
Shang Wu quickly warned, "Don't say such things in front of Lu Rang! My leg is fine, it's just a superficial injury, it's just that the injury was too serious and hasn't healed yet."
"Besides, how can I satisfy the shareholders if I don't personally oversee things at the company? They're watching the performance I generate for the company right now, and I have to keep them in check. At least until I resolve certain issues, I have to keep them in line."
Aying didn't understand what she meant, but she knew that the shareholders' meeting had very strict requirements for Shang Wu.
Shang Wu is an acting president, not officially in charge, but holding company shares. However, her relationship with Zhou Yanci is frequently encountering problems, and whether she will become Mrs. Zhou in the future is still uncertain.
It's perfectly normal for them to be wary of Shang Wu and have high expectations of her.
Aying sighed, secretly feeling sorry for Shang Wu's hardships, and drove her to the hospital.
Shang Wu pushed open the ward door and went in, only to see Zhou Yanci sitting alone on the bed, deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.
Shang Wu felt annoyed when she saw him like this.
She walked over and asked casually, "What's wrong with you? You're acting strange. What's wrong that you want to tell me that made me rush over?"
Seeing her approach, Zhou Yanci stared intently at her and asked, word by word, "Come here."
Shang Wu walked to the bedside and had just sat down when Zhou Yanci suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
Caught off guard, Shang Wu nearly fell on him, but quickly braced herself on the bed with both hands to regain her balance.
She frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Yanci stared intently at her, jealousy surging in his eyes. He reached out and pressed his thumb hard against her lips, smearing them forcefully!
The red on Shang Wu's lips was not wiped off.
Zhou Yanci's thumb was also clean.
Realizing that these were marks left from a kiss, his face darkened further.
He sneered, "Awu, you're using official business as an excuse to get intimate with Lu Rang in the office. Does it feel good? Exciting, huh?"
When Shang Wu met his murderous gaze, she finally understood the meaning behind his action.
She gave Zhou Yanci a cold look and pushed him away: "Since you already know, I'm too lazy to explain anything. Zhou Yanci, I did agree to marry you and I never thought about breaking up with you, but just like you had Chen Mian by your side before, I also need to have Lawyer Lu by my side."
Zhou Yanci's eyes widened, thinking she had misheard.
Shang Wu continued, "We've known each other for so many years, we're practically an old married couple. You can't expect me to keep working for you and the company while you keep me stuck in this little world. Do I need to find someone to have some fun with?"
Shang Wu casually tossed her hair: "I also need to have fun, just like you did before. Just bear with it."
Zhou Yanci looked at her in disbelief, taken aback by her explosive words.
He looked at Shang Wu as if he were seeing her for the first time.
Where did that woman with sparkling eyes who said she would never marry anyone but him go?
He looked at Shang Wu as if he were looking at a complete stranger.
Zhou Yanci couldn't help but grit her teeth: "Shang Wu, when did you start to become like this! You said we're already very familiar with each other, like an old married couple with no novelty, but you won't let me sleep with you even once! Now you're using the excuse that I cheated on you first, so you can cheat on me with impunity!"
He tried to sit up, but he didn't have the strength: "You promised to break up with Lu Rang before, but now you're not even going to pretend anymore? You're taking advantage of the fact that I and the company can't do without you..."
“Yes.” Shang Wu raised an eyebrow, interrupting him. “If you’re so capable, then hurry up and recover, take the company back from me, and make the shareholders willingly welcome you back. Otherwise, you’d better obediently accept all of this!”
Zhou Yanci opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Shang Wu looked down at him and said, "You'll have to experience the same kind of suffering I endured while I was by your side before."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanci was not overly angry. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile finally appeared in her eyes.
"So you're getting revenge on me now? I'm with Chenmian, and I neglected you before, which made you feel wronged. Are you deliberately using this man to get back at me and make me jealous?"
Shang Wu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how his thought process had suddenly turned to this point.
Even after being cheated on, how can one comfort and cope with it?
She felt that even if she proposed to Zhou Yanci that she could get married and continue working hard at the company, but asked Lu Rang to be her lover, Zhou Yanci would still agree.
Shang Wu scoffed: "I don't have that much energy to specifically seek revenge on you, so I deliberately got intimate with another man. I'm just simply interested in Lu Rang. Zhou Yanci, you have to accept this whether you like it or not. I'm leaving now, don't delay my work."
After Shang Wu finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Zhou Yanci watched her retreating figure: "How about this, I'll find you two girls whose figures and looks are comparable to Lu Rang's. You can dump him. You're not desperate for him in this life, so why do you have to seek thrills with him?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu turned around and looked at him with a half-smile.
"You come up here and immediately start looking for male prostitutes? You're really something else. Mind your own business with Lu Rang."
After finishing her sentence, Shang Wu walked straight out of the ward.
Just as she was about to disappear through the door of the ward, Zhou Yanci finally spoke up, unable to contain herself any longer.
"Shang Wu! You're not pretending at all now, are you? You just have to make me angry and betray me like this! If it weren't for the fact that our interests are so deeply intertwined, you would have broken up with me long ago because of Shen Mian!"
Shang Wu smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Zhou Yanci's face turned ashen, and she was trembling with anger.
He knew that his relationship with Shang Wu had fallen apart.
He survived solely on the company, the long-standing relationship with his family, and his investment in the jewelry division.
"Alright, I'll only ask you one question: is your interest in Lu Rang just a passing fancy or true love? Answer me properly, or don't blame me for punishing you for your infidelity."
