Chapter 71 Training Him Like a Dog
Zhou Yanci clenched his fist.
Shang Wu's attitude towards him underwent a complete and drastic change.
He could hardly believe that Shang Wu, who had been smiling and calling him Yanci just a few days ago, now treated him like trash who could be scolded and reprimanded at will, as if he were a dog being trained.
A hint of hurt flashed across Zhou Yanci's eyes.
He clenched his fists and asked, feeling wronged, "What's wrong, A-Wu? Why are you treating me like this? I just stepped down and haven't found anything to do yet, so I thought I'd cheer you up by sending you flowers."
"I don't want to see flowers. I just want to finish my work and get to the meeting!"
Shang Wu, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, coldly said, "Zhou Yanci, you don't think that just because I don't hold it against you after you cheated on me, I can be completely unconcerned and continue to treat you the same as before, do you?"
Zhou Yanci's expression gradually turned ugly.
He knew Shang Wu's temperament; he was very gentle and tolerant, strict with himself, and kind to others.
But those who cross the line will be dealt with ruthlessly.
Zhou Yanci could clearly sense that he had obviously crossed Shang Wu's bottom line and crossed his line.
Shang Wu's undisguised disgust and rejection of him at this moment was as if she were telling him in a blatant way that if he cheated on her, he would be nailed to Shang Wu's pillar of shame.
Even though Shang Wu used to regard him as her savior and love him dearly, she now harbors resentment.
The thought of this suddenly made Zhou Yanci feel inexplicably flustered.
He desperately wanted Shang Wu's attitude to get back on track.
He once thought that no matter what he did, Shang Wu would never leave him, and that it wouldn't matter even if she discovered his feelings for Chen Mian one day.
He could even easily break off the engagement and tell Shang Wu that if she was willing to be his mistress, he could still reluctantly keep her by his side.
Because he brought Shang Wu to his side when she had nothing and gave her a new life, it was impossible for Shang Wu to leave him completely.
But now, Shang Wu's attitude and words don't seem to indicate any intention to maintain their relationship.
They clearly wanted to destroy him and abandon him!
He doesn't even love him anymore!
Zhou Yanci grew increasingly flustered and remained silent for a long time, staring at Shang Wu with a helpless look in her eyes.
Shang Wu retorted with a cold gaze, swept his bouquet into the trash can, and took the documents from the bookshelf back to their original place.
"Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Rang raised an eyebrow slightly.
Zhou Yanci's pupils suddenly contracted, as if an invisible hand had gripped her heart, and all color drained from her face.
He stood frozen in place, wondering if he had misheard.
He could only believe that he had misheard.
"You actually told me to get out?" Zhou Yanci's voice was terribly hoarse.
Shang Wu met his incredulous look and sneered inwardly.
Are you hurt?
Compared to the truth she heard in the office that day, what does Zhou Yanci's feelings at this moment matter?
She hasn't reached the limit of what she can give yet.
Shang Wu crossed her arms and walked step by step to Zhou Yanci's side in her high heels.
Seeing him stiff as a statue, she curled her lips into a smile.
"You're not allowed to come to my office without my permission. You need to report to me before you come. I'm not like you, a lazy bum. I have work to do, understand?"
Zhou Yanci was stunned, feeling so embarrassed she wanted to disappear.
“If you do it again, I will have the bodyguards at the company entrance stop you. We’ll handle this officially, so you can work here first and then have personal matters.”
After saying that, she turned around.
"You can leave now."
The whole world seemed to have been put on pause.
Zhou Yanci's ears were ringing.
He used to be the one Shang Wu tried to please, but now, standing in front of Shang Wu, he has no presence at all.
Zhou Yanci's hands trembled as she glanced at Shang Wu's heartless back, her voice hoarse.
“Awu, I…”
He tossed and turned, but the only words that came out were: "I'll wait for you at your apartment tonight and cook for you. I'll wait for you, no matter how late."
Shang Wu turned her back to him and did not speak.
Seeing that he still didn't respond, Zhou Yanci turned around and met Lu Rang's cold eyes.
He clenched his teeth instantly, his blood surging, and clenched his fists as he approached Lu Rang.
Zhou Yanci lowered her voice and said, word by word, "Don't be so smug!"
Even if Shang Wu hates him now because of his infidelity and Shen Mian's pregnancy, so what if she can't stand him here?
Anyway, he'll be able to coax Shang Wu back in a while!
Shang Wu had already seen the evidence he released, but Lu Rang was unaware of it.
If Lu Rang dared to flirt with Shang Wu and pretend to be single in front of her, Shang Wu would definitely think he was hypocritical and wouldn't want to talk to him.
Zhou Yanci snorted coldly and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Lu Rang stepped forward: "I'll give it to you..."
Shang Wu pressed down on the corner of the table: "You get out too!"
There was no sound behind me.
After a long while, something was placed on her table with a thud.
"I came to deliver this to you. I'll be going now."
Lu Rang left.
After the office door closed, Shang Wu slowly turned around and looked at the desk.
She froze, then quickly picked it up and examined it incredulously.
The familiar jade lotus incense holder instantly brought her back to the days when her mother would quietly worship Buddha.
The house is always filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. Every time I come home, there is always a pink jade lotus incense holder that my father bought at the jade market on the table.
My mother loved it so much that she used it for many years.
After the business collapsed, they went bankrupt, and everything they had that could be used as financial collateral was used to cover the losses.
The beloved collections of my father and mother have all disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, Lu Rang actually found the jade lotus incense holder and brought it to her.
Shang Wu's heart was instantly filled with complex emotions.
She weighed the lotus incense holder in her hand, carefully placed it in the drawer, and prepared to take it to her mother when she got off work.
Shang Wu continued working.
After a long while, she closed the document in her hand, lowered her head, and finally revealed a very faint and quickly disappearing look of helplessness.
Shang Wu muttered to herself, "Lu Rang, you should stay away from me from now on."
After getting off work, Shang Wu went home, but didn't see Lu Rang all day.
After reaching the parking lot, she sent Zhou Yanci a text message, informing him that his parents were at home and that he should not go over to fawn over them.
My parents are still unaware of all the rumors circulating online, and they don't know that Zhou Yanci betrayed them and had a child with another woman.
Furthermore, the father should have already guessed that Zhou Yanci was the person behind the downfall of the business.
She couldn't care less about anything else right now; all she wanted was to get under control of everything in the company as soon as possible.
After sending the text message, she started her car and prepared to go home.
Not long after, another phone call came in.
Seeing that the call was from the hospital's physical examination department, Shang Wu frowned slightly and answered the phone.
The other party asked, "Ms. Shang, why haven't you picked up your medical examination report from here a month ago? The doctor has already notified you five times."
Shang Wu then remembered that she had indeed gone for a physical examination with Zhou Yanci some time ago.
She was very busy at the company at the time, so she quickly left her phone number and then forgot about the matter.
In addition, she was busy with work, so when the hospital called her, she just hung up without answering.
I never expected it was about a medical check-up.
Shang Wu immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy with work and forgot about this. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll have someone come and pick up the medical report when I have time."
"What about Mr. Zhou's? You came for a physical examination with him. Should he come to pick up his report himself, or should someone else come to pick it up? Our director here would like to schedule a meeting with him."
The nurse hesitated for a second, but still told the truth: "His vital signs are somewhat abnormal."
Shang Wu assumed it was just some abnormal test data and said casually, "I'll just have someone go get it. Where is he feeling unwell? You can tell me, and I'll have him get some medicine when we get back."
The nurse stammered.
"We recommend that Mr. Zhou have another physical examination, as there may have been a mistake in the last examination."
Shang Wu keenly sensed something amiss in her words, slowed down the car, and asked seriously, "What were the results of the medical examination? Did they find out anything wrong?"
The nurse said softly, "Mr. Zhou has asthenospermia, but it's not serious. He won't be infertile, but... well, the chances of getting pregnant might not be high. You can come here for a detailed examination and treatment."
Shang Wu pursed her lips: "Will the results of the second test be different?"
"It's very likely not, so we were worried that you and Mr. Zhou might question the result, so we wanted Mr. Zhou to come for another checkup." The nurse's tone became somewhat regretful.
Everyone in the city knows that Zhou Yanci and Shang Wu are engaged. Discovering that her fiancé has oligospermia at this time is definitely a blow to the two of them.
Shang Wu gripped the steering wheel, thoughtfully saying, "I understand. I'll have him schedule a time to go another day. Your hospital doesn't need to notify him; just give the medical report to my assistant."
She hung up the phone, stared straight ahead, and her thoughts raced.
A moment later, we arrived at the apartment entrance.
Shang Wu remained seated in the car without getting out, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
When did Chenmian announce her pregnancy?
Oh, it seems that it was after she exposed some of the things Shen Mian had done to Zhou Yanci, and the fact that she and Gu Ziqian had conspired to withhold the birth certificate.
Chenmian then came over to provoke her, saying that no matter what she did, the Zhou family would not care.
Having a child gave her a get-out-of-jail-free card.
But just when things were going wrong, it turned out that they discovered she was pregnant.
The timing is far too perfect.
Could this child not be Zhou Yanci's?
No.
The doctor said it's just a matter of probability; if it wasn't Zhou Yanci, then whose could it be?
Shang Wu hesitated, then found a reporter she was working with and asked him to follow Chen Mian and keep a close eye on his whereabouts. She also transferred some money to him.
Suddenly, a news article popped up at the top of the phone screen.
A woman committed suicide by jumping from a building in a villa area on the outskirts of Wanhu Lake. It is currently being confirmed whether she was a member of the Yu family.
Shang Wu's heart tightened.
A woman in a villa area committed suicide?
She immediately clicked on the news photo and saw that the paparazzi dared not approach the villa area, but rather took the photo from a distance on the outskirts of Wanhu Lake.
It's the villa where Ji Yu lives!
Shang Wu was startled.
No, impossible!
Ji Yu, who values her life so much, would never suddenly have the urge to jump off a building and commit suicide.
It's Zhou Yanci!
She immediately looked through all the related news reports.
The report only mentioned suicide, leaving the question of whether the woman was a member of the Yu family open to speculation.
No one reported whether the person who jumped to their death was actually dead or alive.
