Chapter 77 Agreed to Marry
Zhou Yanci strode in suddenly, trying to snatch the medicine.
Shang Wu blocked him, coldly saying, "Lu Rang had an allergic reaction because of me. What's wrong with me giving him medicine to save him?"
Zhou Yanci stared intently at her, her face pale.
Shang Wu, who was once like a confidante to him, now protects other men and is full of thorns and hostility towards him.
Shang Wu has never cared about anyone but him. How could she go to the Zhou family in the middle of the night to take the expensive medicine he bought and give it to someone else just to save them?
Zhou Yanci's voice trembled: "Awu, do you know how much this is worth? What is he that you would use the Nine Yang Pill to save him!"
His chest heaved violently.
Shang Wu continued to stare at him coldly, unmoved: "Yes, he deserves it."
Lu Rang looked up from behind her.
Zhou Yanci moved his lips, uttering dry syllables.
"What?"
Shang Wu repeated, "Lu Rang is worth saving. Stop making trouble and get out."
Zhou Yanci's fingertips twitched, then she curled up helplessly.
He gave a wry smile: "If it weren't for saving Lu Rang, would you have even called me tonight?"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes, too lazy to pretend with him: "Yes."
"Shang Wu!" Zhou Yanci roared, pulling her close and asking almost frantically, "Do you still love me?! Do you still love me?!"
Shang Wu's wrist was gripped so tightly it turned red, and she winced in pain.
Lu Rang's expression turned cold: "Let go."
Zhou Yanci's forehead veins bulged. "This is my fiancée, my future wife! I can touch her however I want, and it's none of your business!"
"I'll say it again, let her go." Lu Rang clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a cold warning, as if he would explode at any moment.
Shang Wu couldn't take it anymore and tried to break free, but Zhou Yanci held her even tighter.
She gasped in pain.
The almost inaudible hissing sound seemed to have triggered a switch on Lu Rang.
A gust of wind brushed past Shang Wu's face, and Lu Rang's fist slammed solidly into Zhou Yanci's face.
Zhou Yanci was forced to release Shang Wu, staggered a few steps, and tried to rush over to fight back, but Yan Yue suddenly barged in with his men.
"Hold him down!"
Yan Yue shouted, and several bodyguards seized Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci struggled in vain, still staring intently at Lu Rang, wishing she could kill him.
Shang Wu rubbed her swollen wrist.
Lu Rang found the sight jarring and shouted in a deep voice, "Drag him out and get the medicine!"
"No, I want to talk to him alone."
Shang Wu walked over and gestured for the bodyguards to move aside.
Lu Rang pursed his lips for a few seconds, then lifted his eyelids and told the bodyguard to release the person.
Shang Wu went straight out.
Seeing that Lu Rang looked unwell, Yan Yue quickly helped him up, asking, "Are you alright?"
"No, you go and keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't hurt Shang Wu." Lu Rang endured his dizziness and discomfort, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Yan Yue glanced at his reddened knuckles, sighed, and left.
At the end of the corridor, Zhou Yanci wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Shang Wu with an indifferent expression.
He gave a bitter laugh: "Awu, do you know what's most ridiculous? When you asked me for medicine for another man, I even told my mother that since you rarely come to me, I'll give you whatever you want."
Zhou Yanci took out a diamond ring from her pocket.
"I was thinking that once the diamond ring I ordered for you arrived, and we set a wedding date, I would propose to you again. But suddenly I'm scared. Ah Wu, tell me, are you still willing to marry me?"
Shang Wu glanced at the diamond ring in his hand.
Big and shiny enough.
Her expression turned cold, and she looked away.
"I'm very confused and can't answer your question. Now is not a good time to talk about these things. You should go back."
Zhou Yanci refused to leave, her heart filled with unease: "Why can't you answer? Are you completely disappointed in me, or is it because of Lu Rang? Give me a straight answer."
A hint of impatience flashed in Shang Wu's eyes: "This has nothing to do with others. Don't provoke Lu Rang and Zhou Yanci again. I'm not a saint. Do you think it's possible that seeing you and Shen Mian having an affair and having a child would make me pack up and go get a marriage certificate with you right away?"
Zhou Yanci opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
"You can go first. I'll transfer the money to you for the Nine Yang Pill; consider it my payment."
Shang Wu turned her back, looking listless.
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath and murmured, "No need, give it to that guy surnamed Lu."
Shang Wu remained silent, waiting for him to leave.
Zhou Yanci turned to leave, but after taking two steps, she called out to her again.
“A-Wu”.
Shang Wu turned back.
Zhou Yanci's expression was gloomy, but he forced a smile: "From childhood to adulthood, whatever I want, I will get it no matter the cost. I am willing to do anything and use any means necessary."
Hearing his words, Shang Wu instantly thought of her family and company.
Her eyes darkened: "I know, I know you're that kind of person."
"You can ignore me because I did something wrong, but never let me find out that you've fallen for someone else."
Zhou Yanci suddenly smiled, her eyes upturned at the corners, but a storm was brewing in her eyes.
"Otherwise, I will stop at nothing to get you back."
Shang Wu clenched his fist tightly.
She had no doubt that if Zhou Yanci was pushed to the limit, she would really take action against Lu Rang.
She transferred too much of Zhou Yanci's essence from her.
Chengzhou's CEO position, shares, and Zhou Yanci's reputation for using her to improve her life.
She is now the object of everyone in the Zhou family's eagerness to win her over; she is a resource they are willing to risk everything to secure.
This is why Shang Wu hasn't dared to completely break off relations yet.
The case against the business owner needs to be handled quickly; we can't let Zhou Yanci continue to do evil outside.
Only by putting this person in prison can we finally have peace.
Shang Wu snapped out of her daze and emphasized coldly, "I don't like Lu Rang, so don't cause him any more trouble."
Zhou Yanci didn't say anything, and left dejectedly.
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief after everyone left.
She returned to the ward and saw that Lu Rang had fallen asleep due to feeling unwell. She lowered her voice and said to Yan Yue, "I'm leaving now."
Yan Yue was surprised: "You're not going to take care of him?"
Shang Wu's eyes darkened, and she shook her head: "I have other things to do."
She turned and left, sending a message to the school urging them to process the paperwork for Wang Qizheng's daughter and transfer her to the school as soon as possible so she could get the list quickly.
After one night, Shang Wu did not contact Lu Rang, maintaining an appropriate distance to avoid provoking Zhou Yanci.
She woke up in the morning and called Yan Yue.
Yan Yue is clearly still in the hospital, and may even be by Lu Rang's side.
His tone was somewhat unnatural: "Miss Shang, since you're worried about Lu Rang's condition, why don't you come and see for yourself?"
"Never mind, I'm quite relieved to have you taking care of him. I'll get back to work now."
Shang Wu hung up the phone and stared at the documents with her head down.
Suddenly, the phone next to me rang again.
She answered the call and heard some rapid breathing coming from the other end.
Shang Wu frowned, took her phone away and glanced at the number, only to find it was Chen Mian.
"What do you want from me?"
The phone call still carried the sound of panting.
Shang Wu said impatiently, "If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up."
Chenmian finally spoke, weakly, "Zhou Yanci."
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Chenmian sobbed, "Zhou Yanci doesn't want me anymore. He gave me a million yuan and told me to take care of the pregnancy myself, give birth to the child and send it back to the Zhou family. He said he would give me another five million yuan."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "So? You don't want to take the money and leave?"
"No, I want to be with Zhou Yanci. I know you don't want to marry him now. Don't deny it, it's my intuition as a woman!" Chen Mian said firmly.
Shang Wu leaned back in her chair and moved the mouse to close the work email: "What exactly do you want?"
Chenmian said impatiently, "I have a perfect solution. I can become Mrs. Zhou, and you can get rid of him."
Shang Wu pondered for a few seconds, her gaze deep and serious: "Tell me."
The two talked on the phone for a full half hour.
After hanging up, Shang Wu closed her eyes and cleared her mind.
After a long while, she picked up her phone again.
This time, she called Zhou Yanci.
"Come to my house tonight to meet my parents and set a wedding date."
Zhou Yanci was stunned on the phone, both surprised and delighted: "Awu, did I hear that right? You're willing to marry me?"
"Yes, I've thought it through. Instead of us being suspicious and blaming each other, let's put everything aside, try to get along again, and get married."
Shang Wu's eyes held a deathly calm, a stark contrast to the gentle voice she spoke in.
Zhou Yanci didn't doubt the truth of her words and was overjoyed.
"Okay, Awu, I'll go buy a gift now! I'll pick you up from the company after get off work, and we'll go see your aunt and uncle together."
Shang Wu replied expressionlessly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
She got up to pack her things, handed over a few easy tasks to Aying, and went home early.
When it was almost time to leave work, Shang Wu returned to the company.
Zhou Yanci also drove over.
His trunk was open, filled with all sorts of expensive gifts, and he was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Several reporters kept taking pictures of him and his car, and then came over to interview him.
"Is today Miss Shang's birthday? Young Master Zhou, why did you prepare so many gifts!"
Zhou Yanci smiled brightly as he looked at the reporters he had arranged to come over.
"I'm going to visit A-Wu's parents and set a wedding date."
Shang Wu came out with her bag, and upon seeing this scene, she slowed down.
The employees who were watching the commotion gathered at the company entrance, unaware that Shang Wu was standing right behind them.
The reporter asked in surprise, "Are you getting married soon?"
"Yes, we need to choose a specific day, but it should be soon."
Zhou Yanci was full of vigor, his smile carrying a hint of smugness.
The onlookers were all in an uproar, chattering amongst themselves.
The opinions of the people were mainly divided into two groups, and also into men and women.
Most of the male employees believed that since they had been engaged for three years and their relationship was common knowledge, and since Shang Wu was still in charge of Chengzhou, it would be inconvenient for her to date other people if she broke up with Zhou Yanci, and no one would dare to want her.
The female employees felt indignant on Shang Wu's behalf, putting themselves in Shang Wu's shoes. They felt that her fiancé had been having an affair with another woman behind their backs and was pregnant with a child that he refused to have an abortion. They felt that he was disrespectful to Shang Wu and shouldn't have married her to raise someone else's child.
Shang Wu listened quietly from behind.
To be honest, she didn't feel anything about Zhou Yanci's overly theatrical attempt to get reporters to create hype.
On the contrary, she was happy to see Zhou Yanci make her marriage a public spectacle.
Zhou Yanci's ending will be even more ridiculous than Ji Yu's back then.
