Chapter 99 If necessary, she will abandon him.
Shang Wu's heart skipped a beat because of Qian Jue's reaction.
At that moment, she was absolutely certain that she had guessed correctly.
But Qianjue didn't show the expression of being exposed as she had imagined.
He calmly raised an eyebrow.
"These are things you can't find out. The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes for you. Right now, you only need to understand one thing."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes and asked, word by word, "What is it?"
Qianjue said in a deep voice, "If you don't leave the young master after the Shang family case is over, the master will definitely take action against you. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Think carefully about what you should do."
"You're a smart person. If you can use our young master to overturn your case, you should understand that relationships based on interests cannot last. Our master also looks down on people like you who use his son."
Qianjue turned around and left without looking back.
Watching the other person's figure disappear through the door of the ward, Shang Wu pursed her lips.
Yes.
She was using Lu Rang to overturn the verdict, and even Lu Rang himself was well aware of this.
But in other people's eyes, after spending so much time together, did she not have a single genuine feeling for Lu Rang?
Does Lu Rang think so too?
After the merchant's case is resolved and Lu Rang goes back to get married, will they never have any contact again?
Regardless, Shang Wu knew in her heart that if Lu Rang's father really took action, she would immediately give in.
She couldn't possibly give up everything for Lu Rang.
If the Lu family tries to use businesses, her parents, and her brother to threaten her, then she…
Shang Wu's fingertips curled up.
She would leave Lu Rang without hesitation.
In this world, no one could make her disregard her family and take such a desperate gamble.
Just then, another figure appeared outside.
"Mr. Shang."
Xiao Dong was originally watching Zhou Yanci in the next ward.
He hurriedly approached Shang Wu, his expression complex.
"Sleep has come; I want to see you outside."
"Are you sure it's slumber?" Shang Wu was still somewhat surprised.
Chenmian's face has already been disfigured by Zhou Yanci, so how could she suddenly come here?
Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Dong said, "Chen Mian looks a bit terrifying right now, you could say she's extremely frightening. Be prepared. If you don't want to see her, you don't have to."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu became interested.
She said calmly, "The more you say that, the more curious I become. I want to see what she looks like now. Let her in."
Xiao Dong stepped aside to let him in.
When the slumbering figure appeared at the door, Shang Wu was completely stunned.
The word "disfigured" is no longer sufficient to describe a state of deep sleep.
Her face was covered in bloodstains, each one with the skin turned inside out and bleeding. There wasn't a single patch of intact skin on her face, which shone with a deep red hue under the light, making it too dangerous to look at.
She was covered in blood, looking like a female ghost.
She came in, staring intently at Shang Wu, and walked step by step to her.
Xiao Dong was frightened and quickly stepped forward to protect Shang Wu.
Shang Wu was not afraid at all, and raised an eyebrow at Chen Mian: "How did you become such a grotesque figure?"
Chenmian had no idea that Shang Wu had orchestrated this whole thing.
All she knew was that Shang Wu was going to get her marriage certificate with Zhou Yanci tomorrow.
As for whether or not to go to the bar to see Lu Wuwei and tempt him with a large sum of money to sleep with her and have a child, that was entirely her own choice.
Upon seeing Shang Wu, she dared not harbor any more hatred, and her legs went weak, causing her to kneel on the ground with a thud.
"Shangwu, save me!"
Chenmian was terrifying, like a ghost; just looking at her face made one want to vomit.
Shang Wu slowly frowned, his gaze fixed on her face.
What are you doing?
He kowtowed to her in his sleep.
"I sneaked out while Zhou Yanci's two bodyguards weren't looking. Please, please save me!"
"Zhou Yanci won't let me go. After ruining my face, she wants to lock me up and torture me day and night. Please! They'll find out I'm in the hospital soon. Can you help me?"
Shang Wu looked at her with icy eyes from beginning to end.
"Plead for you? On what grounds? What kind of relationship do we have?"
Chenmian gritted her teeth and stared intently at her.
"Can't you just be a little kind? I don't have any deep-seated hatred for you! It's just that I'm competing with you for a man!"
Shang Wu scoffed lightly: "There's no deep-seated hatred..."
It seems that's how people are.
I don't even remember what disgusting things I've done.
"You have repeatedly targeted me, even exposing photos of me and Lu Rang in an attempt to break off relations between Zhou Yanci and me. Is this what you mean by not having any deep-seated hatred?"
“If everything you’ve done has caused me to fall out with Zhou Yanci, you’ll be in my shoes right now. Why should I show you any mercy?”
Shang Wu's gaze was cold and mocking, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at her.
As she reflected on everything she had done in the past, she realized that she had no right to ask her for anything.
But if she didn't ask Shang Wu for help, she really would die.
Thinking of this, Chenmian took a deep breath and looked up at Shangwu.
She said, word by word, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. I was being unreasonable yesterday, but Zhou Yanci didn't do anything to you, did she?"
Speaking of this, Chenmian felt a thousand times unwilling: "He didn't hurt you. Even though he knew your relationship with Lu Rang wasn't simple, he still chose to forgive you. The person he loved from beginning to end was you!"
"You're wrong." Shang Wu didn't expect that she was still struggling with this issue.
She looked at Chen Mian with a clear mind: "Zhou Yanci doesn't like anyone. He only loves interests and himself. He will only choose whoever is beneficial to him and can bring her a better experience."
"I'm just a little more useful than you. Do you think that's something to be proud of?"
Shang Wu's eyes instantly filled with hatred.
If she hadn't been useful to the merchants, they wouldn't have been targeted by Zhou Yanci for no reason.
Back then, everyone said that Zhou Yanci was the light that descended from heaven.
Even knowing the business was a mess, he still defied all opposition to take her away and pampered her into the person countless women dreamed of being.
yes.
This is how Zhou Yanci sought media hype.
It is said that every woman who wants to get married wants to be like Shang Wu, and every woman's ideal type is Zhou Yanci.
But if she hadn't gained the approval of the shareholders, she would have been kicked out by Zhou Yanci long ago.
On the surface, Zhou Yanci is engaged to her, but his real intention is to keep her firmly by his side and make her create value for the company.
Shang Wu sometimes felt resentful that she had to meet Zhou Yanci in high school, and she also resented that Zhou Yanci came from a privileged background and was treated as prey to be exploited and devoured.
What she hated most was that Zhou Yanci had chosen her, and that she was someone Zhou Yanci could use.
Chenmian's eyes flickered as she looked at Shang Wu.
"Then tell me, how can you help me escape?"
Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and looked at her, who was on the verge of collapse.
"As I just said, Zhou Yanci doesn't truly love me. He chose me because I'm more useful to him than you. I feel the same way; I only help you if you're valuable to me."
Understanding her meaning, Chenmian gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.
She looked up at Shang Wu.
"I have a secret to tell you."
Shang Wu became interested: "Tell me about it."
After a moment of hesitation, as if he had made a great decision, he finally raised his head and looked at her.
"Your father has always been raised in the countryside and is in poor health, right?"
Shang Wu's smile froze instantly.
She pursed her lips and stared coldly at Chenmian: "Continue."
Chenmian said, "Zhou Yanci said that the value you created for him in the jewelry department was not enough. He needs to control your parents, so he had the nanny who cooks your parents' three meals a day poison them."
Shang Wu gripped the bed sheet tightly, her heart clenching instantly.
"No, those things can't really be called poison. It's just that if you take them for a long time, you'll feel weak all over and your body will be deficient in various ways."
"He used this to create the illusion that your father was sickly and had to stay in the countryside."
"Only in this way can he openly send people to take care of your parents, so that if you ever want to leave him or become restless, he can use your father to threaten you, and also..."
Chenmian hadn't finished speaking yet.
She took a deep breath and looked at Shang Wu.
“Your brother is in prison, and he’s also having people watching him. They’re constantly picking fights with your brother.”
“He did this not out of revenge, but to make sure that news of your brother being beaten wouldn’t reach your ears, and to see if you had been keeping an eye on things.”
Shang Wu listened, slowly clenching her fist.
She had actually expected it.
The maid who always stayed by her parents' side was clearly Zhou Yanci's spy.
She also knew that her brother's injuries were deliberately arranged by someone in the prison.
But what she never expected was that Zhou Yanci, in order to control her parents, actually had the servants poison her father.
No wonder my father was just as devastated as my mother after his business went bankrupt, and he couldn't cheer up anymore.
Mingming's parents were able to build their business from scratch, and they have a tenacious character that will not be defeated by any setbacks.
Besides, even if her brother goes to jail, she's still there.
Even if it's just for her sake, her parents will definitely pull themselves together to take care of her.
For this reason, Shang Wu still remembers how worried she was for the past three years.
It was Zhou Yanci who found so-called experts to treat her father's illness, and her father's spirits improved from time to time.
Zhou Yanci kept subtly and overtly telling her that he had been kind to her.
It turns out that everything was orchestrated by Zhou Yanci herself.
If you need to establish a persona, then stop administering the medication.
Tell her when her father is feeling better; it's all thanks to him, and she should be extremely grateful.
She harbored an unspeakable hatred in her heart.
Shang Wu looked at the slumbering figure before her.
"Do you know what she used on my father?"
"Only the servant who works for your father should know this."
Chenmian looked at her; the wound on her face was still bleeding.
She was trembling all over from the pain, but in order to live, she could only force herself to endure it, looking longingly at Shang Wu.
"Is what I've told you enough to get you to help me leave?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and looked at her with a half-smile.
"That's not enough. You have to do something for me."
