Chapter 107 Lu Rang has a mental illness, leave him.
When Shang Wu went outside, she saw Qian Jue waiting there.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Qianjue spoke, finally uttering the gentlest words he had ever spoken.
“Miss Shang, you are cunning and calculating, which is not suitable for our young master. Although the master will not harm you, he has many ways to separate you. Besides, you are not even officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet.”
Shang Wu's eyes darkened, and her gaze fell on him with a hint of mockery.
Qianjue asked again, "What, you don't believe me..."
Shang Wu interrupted him: "If it were you, and your family was murdered and imprisoned, poisoned, and your company's resources and talent were plundered, leaving you with nothing and suffering endless cold treatment, and in the end, your fiancée who was protecting you turned out to be your enemy, what would you do?"
Qianjue was taken aback.
Shang Wu's tone was even colder: "With such a huge grudge weighing on my shoulders, if I don't scheme and plot to the bitter end, am I supposed to just be a little white rabbit and get eaten alive without a trace?!"
She clenched her fists, trying hard not to let her emotions show.
"I also want to be a carefree heiress to a wealthy merchant family, but is reality allowed?"
Qianjue was speechless, staring at her blankly.
“You have no right to judge me from a superior position, unless you experience all the suffering I have gone through first.”
After Shang Wu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Qianjue had just caught up when he heard her coldly say from behind, "No need! I don't need you, my watchdog, to lead the way!"
Shang Wu left in a hurry and hailed a taxi on the roadside.
"Go to Aoki Prison."
The driver's eyes flickered strangely for a moment before he stepped on the gas.
Shang Wu rubbed his temples, leaned back in the back seat, and his heart was still unsettled.
She couldn't stop thinking about what Lu Zheng had said and Qian Jue's disdainful attitude, and clenched her hands tightly.
When they arrived at the prison gate, Shang Wu took a deep breath, patted her face, and tried to appear relaxed.
She waited a moment in the visiting room, and the door finally opened.
Shang Wu immediately stood up and gave Shang Yun Shen a bright smile.
"elder brother!"
More than a month had passed since they last met, and Shang Yun Shen looked much better than before, with no wounds on his body.
Shang Wu was even happier, gazing at him longingly: "Brother, I miss you so much."
Shang Yunshen's smile deepened, his slightly pursed lips lifted gently, and his eyes were as warm and gentle as the afternoon sun.
"Awu, I miss you too."
Shang Wu eagerly gestured for him to come and sit down.
"Brother, great news! You'll be acquitted soon! Also, I've brought our parents to live with me; they're just waiting to reunite with you! And another thing, the court hearing is in a few days, so you'd better be prepared. I'll have someone send over all the documents later..."
She chattered on and on, getting more and more excited, as if she had returned to the time before the business ran into trouble.
All the sharp edges that had been forced to become acute by the outside world were softened by Shang Yun Shen's gentle gaze.
A rare smile appeared on Shang Wu's face, like that of a little girl. Taking advantage of the prison guard's inattention, she poked Shang Yun Shen's hand and quickly withdrew it.
"Brother, are you looking forward to it too?"
Shang Yunshen nodded with a smile.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I miss you and Mom and Dad so much. Of course I'm looking forward to going out, but..."
He scrutinized Shang Wu carefully, his tone becoming serious: "You need to tell me first, what has been happening outside during this time?"
Shang Wu bit her lip, never expecting it to come to this.
She sighed and briefly explained what Zhou Yanci had done over the years, as well as how she had taken her revenge.
Shang Yun Shen listened quietly, his expression growing increasingly somber and complex.
His eyes burned, his gaze fixed on Shang Wu's face, and as he watched her recount these events, the hatred and sharpness in his eyes resurfaced.
This was a side of Shang Wu that Shang Yunshen had never seen before.
The dramatic changes in her life have shaped her into the person she is today.
“Brother, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t be sad. What I’m doing isn’t hard at all. The business case will be overturned in three days, and our suffering will be over.”
Shang Wu tried to sound lighthearted, not wanting Shang Yun Shen to be sad.
Shang Yun Shen lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her, afraid of losing control of his emotions, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.
He wanted to ask if Shang Wu felt any pain when she discovered that her fiancé of three years, whom she had taken seriously, was her enemy.
I wonder if Shang Wu was tired or scared when she was supporting all of this on her own.
I also want to ask her if she ever breaks down at night when she thinks about all these past experiences.
As the older brother, he never imagined that one day he would be stuck in such a cramped prison, and that he would have to rely on his sister's efforts to regain her freedom.
"Brother, why are you crying? I'm not tired, I'm not suffering."
Shang Wu frantically searched for tissues for Shang Yun Shen.
Shang Yun Shen wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Before, at home, it was my parents and I who doted on you and dared not let you suffer any grievances. Now, you have become the pillar of the family. It is my fault for being useless."
Shang Wu's nose tingled with emotion, but she quickly smiled to suppress her feelings: "Why bring this up? We are family, we support each other. You used to love me so much, now it's my turn to protect you."
Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but mention Lu Rang.
"Brother, my lawyer was a great help in overturning the case this time. His name is Lu Rang. He's very capable and his background is also extraordinary. He's... the young master of the Yu family."
Shang Wu pondered and decided to tell her brother about her relationship with Lu Rang.
When she didn't know which family Lu Rang came from, she thought Lu Rang's father would take action against his family.
By then, she was indeed prepared to give up Lu Rang for the sake of her family.
But after learning that Lu Rang was a member of the Yu family, she no longer had that thought.
The Yu family would not commit evil deeds, which is why they have such a high reputation.
After all, the Yu family doesn't get involved in anything. They live in seclusion by a piece of land in Wanhu, and while they have connections with various bigwigs, they don't abuse those connections and only do business with state-owned enterprises.
She would fight for anything she wanted, as long as her family was not harmed, especially Lu Rang.
However, the Lu government will likely take action to suppress it.
She made it clear to her family that even if the group couldn't be rebuilt, she wouldn't give up on Lu Rang.
However, after Shang Wu finished telling him everything, Shang Yun Shen did not offer her his blessings. Instead, he looked at her with an indescribable expression.
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment.
"elder brother."
She felt inexplicably nervous.
"Do you think that just because someone doesn't like me, I shouldn't try to be with Lu Rang?"
Shang Yunshen gave her a deep look, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
“If it were any other lawyer, I would wholeheartedly support them being together, but this Lu Rang… he might not be up to it.”
Shang Wu did not expect his attitude to be so resolute.
Mingming's family has supported every decision she has made since she was a child.
Shang Wu's fingertips curled up as she forced back her pain and asked, "Why? Brother, isn't it enough that he's helped me this much to prove that he's truly sincere towards me?"
Shang Yun Shen nodded: "Of course I know he is sincere to you, but I've heard of this Lu. He was a former cellmate of mine who worked at the Yu family and got caught stealing. He revealed something to me."
Shang Wu tensed up, sensing that what she was about to hear was definitely not good.
She asked, "What is it?"
Shang Yunshen said, word by word, "The young master of the Yu family has a mental illness."
Shang Wu widened her eyes slightly, wondering if she had misheard.
Does he/she have a mental illness?
“He has a mental illness that recurs regularly every year. If he were a normal person, of course I would hope that you would try your best to win him over. But if he really has a mental illness, have you thought about how this will affect your life and relationship? Your future children may also carry the gene for mental illness and may also develop the disease.”
“Brother is selfish, he only thinks about you. I am very grateful to him for helping our family overturn the case, and I am willing to repay him with everything I can. But I can’t watch my sister jump into a fire pit. You have to think carefully about this matter.”
Shang Yunshen changed the subject: "But I think you should discuss it with your parents. We fully respect your choice. If you have really thought it through and decided to be with him, then I will not really oppose it to the end."
Shang Wu's expression gradually became complicated. She suddenly remembered that Lu Rang had disappeared for three days last time and was found by her at home.
Lu Rang was indeed acting strangely at that time, as if he had become a completely different person.
The sight of empty milk cartons scattered all over the ground also shocked her.
She believed Shang Yunshen's words without hesitation.
She knew that what her brother said was not unfounded; Lu Rang did indeed have some mental illness.
But does that mean I can't be with Lu Rang anymore?
Shang Yun Shen continued, "I know that you have fought side by side and overcome all difficulties, so it is easy for feelings to develop. While these feelings are not yet deep, you should carefully consider this and make a clean break."
Shang Wu's fingertips curled up.
The feelings weren't deep...
Honestly, she didn't feel she couldn't live without Lu Rang.
But if she were to break off her relationship with Lu Rang, given her temperament, it would only be for the sake of her family; she wouldn't immediately sever ties just because Lu Rang is ill.
What kind of person would she be if that were the case?
Shang Wu changed the subject: "Brother, let's not talk about this now. It's not important. In short, you should focus on reviewing the case files in prison. When the trial starts, Attorney Yan will explain everything to you."
She stood up after she finished speaking.
Shang Yun Shen looked up at her with concern.
"Awu, are you alright? You..."
"Brother, I'm leaving now. Take care." Shang Wu stopped him from continuing, smiled, and turned to leave.
Watching her figure disappear through the visiting room door, Shang Yunshen sighed, suddenly regretting bringing it up.
But this is his own sister. The person she likes has a mental illness, and his sister is considering being together. These are things he should remind her of.
Shang Yun Shen didn't know what Shang Wu would choose next.
Outside the door.
The staff member listened to the entire conversation before turning around and going out to make a phone call.
“Mr. Lu, Shang Yun Shen has already told her about it.”
Lu Zheng said calmly, "Hmm."
...
Shang Wu hurriedly left the prison and got into a car.
She was in a state of confusion and didn't have time to think things through. She could only deal with the most important thing, so she made a phone call to Xiao Dong.
Has Zhou Yanci returned?
"No, we can't find it anywhere. Should we call the police, Mr. Shang?" Xiao Dong was completely exasperated.
"Don't call the police!"
Shang Wu interrupted him, narrowing her eyes: "Let's wait and see if he comes back."
She has already made it clear to Lu Rang's father that she doesn't care whether Zhou Yanci returns or not, and it won't affect the outcome of the Shang family's case trial.
She believed the Yu family wouldn't get involved in this mess.
Xiao Dong asked, "What if he doesn't come back? Should we cancel the banquet we're having in three days? I've already written the invitations for all the reporters, but I haven't sent them out yet. There's still time."
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, and she thought for a moment.
"Don't rush to send them out. It's not too late to send them out tomorrow afternoon. Don't do anything now."
Xiao Dong had no idea what she was thinking, so he did as she was told.
Shang Wu then returned to his office.
She was preoccupied with her thoughts. As soon as she opened the office door, she saw Lu Rang sitting on the sofa in the rest area.
Upon seeing her return, Lu Rang stood up.
Where have you been? I haven't been able to find you.
