Chapter 93 Get the Marriage Certificate Now
The living room was spacious, but the atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.
Zhou Yanci's nerves were on edge, and a cold, low growl escaped his throat.
"Speak! Give me an explanation!"
Shang Wu turned to the side and sat on the sofa, her eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes as she lowered her gaze.
She casually curled her lips: "You believed me?"
Zhou Yanci reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her face up, a hint of madness in his eyes.
"I want an explanation! Don't try to play word games with me!"
Shang Wu chuckled as she watched him lose control. Even though he was clearly under her control, she remained unhurried, as if she were luring her prey.
"What do you want me to explain? Explain these photos that are misleading and have no authenticity whatsoever? Or explain why you have no trust in me at all, and believed I was having an affair with another man the moment you saw the photos?"
Zhou Yanci was taken aback.
Shang Wu pushed his hand away, stood up, and a hint of mockery flickered in her eyes.
“Zhou Yanci, I’m busy every day and tired from work. I don’t have time to play this boring self-proof game with you! If you doubt me, then throw real, convincing evidence in front of me and leave me speechless.”
Zhou Yanci clenched his fists, unable to utter a single word.
"And another thing," Shang Wu picked up the photo and scoffed, "who gave you this?"
Zhou Yanci's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips: "Lu Wuwei."
Shang Wu laughed: "He swindled so much money from you, and you still believe him? He hates me for exposing this, he hates me for ruining the entire Jinshui Law Firm, of course he will frame me and sow discord."
Zhou Yanci fell silent.
This is not enough to show that there was nothing between Shang Wu and Lu Rang.
As he sat there waiting for Shang Wu, he thought about many things from the past.
Shangwu wasn't like this before.
Her decisive and efficient work style did not mean she was cold to him. On the contrary, for the past three years, she had always been around him, clinging to him and wishing she could solve all his problems in life.
Her gaze was gentle, like a spring breeze.
But at some point, Shang Wu's gaze changed.
He simply assumed that the change was due to his relationship with Shen Mian, which angered Shang Wu.
Until he saw the photo.
In the photo, Shang Wu's eyes were filled with restrained emotions as she looked at Lu Rang.
That was something I had never done before when facing him.
Zhou Yanci pursed her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Shang Wu, do you still want to be with me?"
Shang Wu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Yanci stood up and stared at her intently: "If you still want to be with me and cherish me, then fire Lu Rang and make him disappear from your life completely. Only then can I believe that you have no feelings for him."
Shang Wu paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "There are many things going on at the company..."
“Lawyers aren’t all dead in this world,” Zhou Yanci interrupted her.
It's not that I can't live without him.
There was no reason not to drive Lu Rang away.
Shang Wu's breathing became slightly labored, and after a while, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Before she could react, Zhou Yanci snatched the phone from her hand when she saw that it was Lu Rang calling.
What are you doing?
Shang Wu's heart sank, and she wanted to retrieve her phone.
Zhou Yanci blocked her with one hand and answered the phone with the other, holding it to her ear.
He said in a deep voice, “Lu Rang, I am officially informing you that starting tomorrow, you no longer need to go to work at the company, and you are no longer Shang Wu’s legal counsel. She has decided to dismiss you!”
Shang Wu's expression changed completely: "Zhou Yanci!"
Zhou Yanci's eyes flashed sharply for a moment before she turned her head and stared intently at her, blurting out, "Your parents are still upstairs. Do you want them to know that you're arguing with me here over a man?"
Shang Wu clenched his fists tightly, a murderous intent rising within him.
At that moment, Lu Rang's indifferent voice came from the phone.
"I'm resigning. Don't alarm Shang Wu's family."
Beep beep beep—
The call ended.
Shang Wu's eyes turned cold as she took the phone back and asked indifferently, "Are you satisfied now?"
Zhou Yanci snapped out of her daze and looked at her cold eyes. Even though she had already dealt with Lu Rang, she still felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but sneer, "He really didn't want to cause you any trouble. As soon as he heard it would involve your parents, he quit his job in a panic."
Shang Wu said expressionlessly, "Have you said enough? If you have, then get out."
Zhou Yanci's heart skipped a beat, and she slowly clenched her fist.
He felt inexplicably depressed and afraid.
During this period, he lost too much.
The company, the shares, and Shen Mian's child.
He could accept letting Shang Wu keep all these things for the time being, but he couldn't accept that this woman would change her mind and end up taking what he had worked so hard for and turning around to date a handsome young lawyer.
Zhou Yanci looked up at the tightly closed door upstairs.
"Ah Wu, you're making me feel more and more insecure. I think we should get our marriage certificate first."
Shang Wu paused, thinking she had misheard: "What?"
"The wedding will be at the end of the month, and we'll get the marriage certificate now, so I won't have to suspect anything between you and Lu Rang."
Zhou Yanci approached step by step: "Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I'll pick you up at eight o'clock."
Without hesitation, Shang Wu replied, "Tomorrow is Sunday."
"Then the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Yanci stared intently at her: "You have no choice but to agree to this. If you disagree, I will immediately convene the board of directors to take back Chengzhou Group. You will have to hand over the shares and assets that were given to you."
Shang Wu chuckled and said sarcastically, "You're threatening me with these?"
"Isn't that enough?"
Zhou Yanci smiled at her: "Or do you want me to find someone to send your aunt and uncle back to the nursing home before you're willing?"
Shang Wu froze, her hands trembling slightly, her eyes growing colder and colder.
She forgot that even if Zhou Yanci had nothing, she still had a team of bodyguards who would obey her every command.
Now, Zhou Yanci doesn't even bother to pretend anymore in order to achieve his goals.
They brazenly threatened her with her parents.
At this point, if she weren't still waiting for news from the Inspectorate, she would have immediately turned her back on everyone!
Tolerate.
Shang Wu bit her tongue, desperately trying to stay rational.
Seeing that she remained silent, Zhou Yanci reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head.
"Awu, I really like you and want to marry you. I've given you everything to be with you, so please, please don't let me down."
Zhou Yanci bypassed Shangwu and left without looking back.
Even after everyone had left for a long time, Shang Wu was still standing there, unable to come to her senses.
She sat on the sofa and checked the date on her phone.
Zhou Yanci wanted to get their marriage certificate, and she had no good excuse to avoid it.
Is there a way to suppress Zhou Yanci?
Shang Wu was restless, his thoughts racing.
After much thought, there was only one solution.
She got up and called Lu Rang as she left the house.
"Hey, Lu..."
"He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Lu Rang interrupted her, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible worry.
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Well, I'm not making things difficult for you, but I'm sorry to trouble you. On the surface, you can no longer be my legal advisor."
Lu Rang paused, then said meaningfully, "It's alright, I'm used to things that can't be seen in the light."
Shang Wu sensed a hint of resentment in his words and chuckled, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll head to the company first. Let me know as soon as there are any developments in the Shang case."
She hung up and rushed to catch the boat.
In the office.
As soon as Xiao Dong saw Shang Wu push the door open and come in, he quickly went to greet her.
"Mr. Shang."
Shang Wu nodded slightly, her expression solemn: "You need to arrange something for me. Right now, I can only trust you."
Xiao Dong rubbed his hands together, knowing that his time to pledge his loyalty had come.
These past few days, the tasks Shang Wu has asked him to do have been neither painful nor effective.
He desperately wanted to do something to prove that he had completely turned against Shang Wu.
Xiao Dong was inexplicably excited: "President Shang, please give your instructions."
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice to say a few words to him.
Upon hearing this, the determination on Xiao Dong's face instantly turned into astonishment.
He stared wide-eyed at Shang Wu with an incredulous look, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, Mr. Shang, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Shang Wu looked at Xiao Dong seriously and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm serious, I'm not joking. Do as I say, and I'll give you a reward after it's done."
Xiao Dong's mouth dropped open, filled with surprise and doubt: "But..."
"No buts. As long as you help me accomplish this, you and Aying will be my right-hand men, enjoying endless wealth and glory. Do you want to accept or not?" Shang Wu interrupted him, her tone resolute.
It seemed that Xiao Dong had no room to refuse in this matter.
Xiao Dong clenched his fists, his expression growing increasingly troubled and fearful. He weakly asked, "What if things go wrong?"
"Find someone who can handle it, nothing will happen." Shang Wu frowned, annoyed by his indecisiveness. "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dong's legs went weak, and he said timidly, "Look at what you're saying, this is the first time I've ever done something like this in my life."
Shang Wu didn't have the patience to say more and handed him a bank card.
"Go and do it."
Unable to refuse, Xiao Dong sighed resignedly and turned to leave.
He had just pushed open the door when he almost bumped into someone.
Xiao Dong took two steps back: "Lawyer Lu, what are you doing here?"
Shang Wu turned around in surprise.
Lu Rang looked at Xiao Dong with a strange expression and said, "I've come to collect the documents I left on the boat."
Xiao Dong nodded: "I'll go ask Aying to help you tidy up."
Lu Rang nodded slightly.
After everyone left, he came in and asked, "What were you talking about just now? You want Xiao Dong to do something for you?"
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, and she turned her back and said softly, "Yes, it's something related to work."
Lu Rang stared intently at her retreating figure, frowning slightly with displeasure: "Shang Wu, I told you, don't lie to me."
No, really no.
Shang Wu remained calm and winked at him: "I've never hidden anything from you before, have I? How can you not believe me?"
Lu Rang didn't speak, but stared intently at her, as if judging the truth of her words.
Before he could even think for a few seconds, Shang Wu grabbed his sleeve.
Shang Wu's eyes sparkled with a smile: "Trust me, okay?"
She offered no convincing explanation; she simply stood there, her fingertips twirling her sleeves, her clear black and white eyes reflecting a smile, leaving Lu Rang unable to probe any further.
He grasped Shang Wu's fingertips in return, clenching them in his palm.
"In any case, don't do anything dangerous without my permission."
Shang Wu's heart tightened slightly, and she forced a smile: "Of course, what danger could there be?"
Lu Rang looked at her for a while and finally nodded.
Ah Ying came in and knocked on the door.
"Attorney Lu, could you come here for a moment? I need to see if this blue document is yours."
Lu Rang responded and walked over.
As Shang Wu watched his retreating figure, she suddenly impulsively called out to him.
"Lu Rang!"
Lu Rang turned to look at her: "What?"
Shang Wu took a deep breath, pretending to be relaxed.
"It's nothing, see you Monday."
