Chapter 141 Became a Rich Woman Who Could Buy the Entire City of Lincheng
"Are you really going to sever ties with A-Wu?"
Shang Yun Shen frowned deeply, never expecting things to turn out this way.
At first, he was just worried that Lu Rang's illness would affect their relationship and even endanger his sister's personal safety.
Upon hearing that Lu Rang was willing to injure himself to protect her, he became less resistant.
On the contrary, the mother's attitude became tougher day by day.
Ruan Yuzhi snorted and sat down on the sofa.
"You saw it too, Shang Wu wants men and not us. If she wants to leave the Shang family, let her go, and ignore her!"
Shang Yunshen knew she was just saying that out of anger, so he went over and asked, "Mom, why do I think your current opposition to Lu Rang and A Wu being together isn't just for these superficial reasons?"
Ruan Yuzhi paused, then looked at him: "What do you mean by that?"
Shang Yun Shen didn't know what to say.
My mother wasn't always so unreasonable. Just because Lu Rang helped the businessmen overturn their case, she should give him a chance.
Aside from Lu Rang's mental illness and the so-called rumor of killing his brother, there must be other reasons.
He just couldn't guess what it was.
Shang Yun Shen said softly, "Mom, A Wu has already worked so hard to help us overturn the case. You should talk to her properly. Nothing is insurmountable, right?"
"Shut up!"
Ruan Yuzhi scolded him, looking at him as if he were a traitor.
"It's none of your business to comment on my affairs. In short, Shang Wu is no longer my daughter. She's going to suffer a lot with Lu Rang. You don't understand!"
Ruan Yuzhi's expression was complicated. She slowly exhaled and murmured, "You don't understand. The Yu family are all ruthless people. Once she learns her lesson, she will come back obediently."
Shang Yun Shen opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
His mother spoke in a cryptic manner, as if there was a deeper meaning behind it, which he could neither understand nor explore.
He would rather Shang Wu never come back, at least to prove that she made the right choice in choosing Lu Rang.
...
It was late at night.
When Lu Rang woke up, he saw the doctor packing his medical kit with his back to him.
He spoke, his voice hoarse: "Where is Shang Wu?"
"I'm here."
Shang Wu walked in from outside, looking perfectly normal.
Lu Rang's gaze sharpened as he noticed that her walking posture was somewhat off.
What happened to your leg?
He immediately sat up by the edge of the bed, forgetting his injured arm, and nearly fell over in the intense pain.
Shang Wu quickly came over to support him: "I'm fine, don't move that arm, it was just bandaged."
Lu Rang refused to believe it, bent down and lifted her skirt, his eyes darkening.
How did you get injured?
Shang Wu followed his gaze.
The wound on his calf had already clotted, but it was still very bright red, making it look like a serious injury.
Shang Wu vaguely replied, "It was just an accidental injury, it's nothing."
Lu Rang pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Was it when I was not in my right mind that I accidentally hurt you?"
"No, no, it has nothing to do with you. I got injured at home," Shang Wu blurted out, only realizing her mistake after she finished speaking.
Lu Rang suddenly looked up and stared intently at her: "Why were you injured at home?"
Meeting his probing gaze, Shang Wu couldn't hide it any longer and could only explain simply: "Well, I was angry that my brother asked you about your illness, so I went back and argued with them, and I accidentally hurt myself."
Lu Rang remained silent, his face appearing even more somber due to excessive blood loss.
He knew that Shang Wu spoke lightly, but the truth was far from simple.
After a brief silence, Lu Rang forced himself to sit up despite the pain: "Give me the first-aid kit."
He gave a command.
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment.
The doctor quickly brought over his medical kit: "Young master, let me bandage Miss Shang's arm. It's inconvenient for you."
Lu Rang lifted his eyelids and said coldly, "Open it for me. Don't make me say it a second time."
Shang Wu knew his temper; when he got stubborn, even she couldn't persuade him.
Unfortunately, Lu Rang is only stubborn about things related to her.
She nodded slightly, indicating that the doctor should do as instructed.
Lu Rang carefully cleaned Shang Wu's wound with an alcohol swab, his eyes lowered, concealing all his emotions.
Does it hurt?
Shang Wu clutched the bedsheet tightly in pain and shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."
Lu Rang caught a glimpse of her fingertips, which had turned white from exertion, and a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes.
"Did you have a conflict with your family when you got home? It's not like you got hurt from arguing for no reason."
Shang Wu's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible: "My mom was quite emotional and smashed a teacup. A shard hit my leg and that's how I got hurt. I'm really fine."
Lu Rang looked up at her.
"Don't make them sad. Your mother is old and has high blood pressure. I hope nothing happens to her. I'll have Qianjue take you home later."
Shang Wu pursed her lips, her body stiffening for a moment.
She always knew that Lu Rang not only treated her sincerely, but also genuinely cared about everyone in the business.
Even though he was already physically and mentally exhausted, he still tried to see things from her perspective.
If it were before tonight, she would definitely have talked to her family about these things and let them know how good Lu Rang is.
However, there's no need for that now.
Shang Wu's eyes flickered: "I won't go back. In the future... I won't go back anymore. I'll stay with you."
Lu Rang paused in applying the medicine, then pinched the bright red cotton ball and threw it into the trash can.
His voice was low: "Have you and your mother had a serious falling out?"
Shang Wu remained silent.
Lu Rang pressed on, "Is that so?"
Shang Wu bit her lip and finally looked up at him directly: "Yes, I had a big fight with my mother and we severed our mother-daughter relationship."
"What did you say?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Rang's eyes.
Shang Wu nodded: "Yes, I can't go back anymore."
Lu Rang's fingertips stiffened.
He knew all too well what family meant to Shang Wu.
It was her support every second during her revenge, the most indispensable and cherished thing in her life.
She dreams of her brother being released from prison, her parents returning to her side, and the family running the company well and restoring its former glory.
Now, because of him, Shang Wu has abandoned all of these things.
Lu Rang asked with difficulty, "Is it worth it to do this for me?"
Shang Wu looked at the wound on his arm: "And what about you? Was everything you did for me worth it?"
Lu Rang smiled slightly and raised his hand: "Come here."
Shang Wu leaned closer, and Lu Rang gently patted her back to comfort her.
"I will try my best to cure my illness, and about my brother's matter..."
Shang Wu immediately interrupted, "Don't say it, don't mention it." She was afraid that Lu Rang would have another episode.
Even if he doesn't get sick, it's still a heavy and heartbreaking thing, a scar in Lu Rang's heart.
Lu Rang insisted on continuing, "If my brother's matter cannot be explained clearly, I will find a way to get Lu Zheng to go to your mother and explain it to her. Your mother may not believe me, but she can't not believe Lu Zheng."
Shang Wu's heart softened.
She nodded and said softly, "These things can't be forced. If they can't accept you, then so be it. Anyway, they have money and are healthy now, so I don't have to worry. I just want to be with you, to stay with you forever."
Lu Rang did not respond.
He remembered that Shang Wu had said that their family had a very good relationship and had never quarreled since they were young. At most, their parents would bicker, have a cold war for a couple of days, and then act as if nothing had happened.
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "No rush, I will let you go back to the Shang family. We will get married in the future, and we will have the blessings of your family."
Shang Wu nodded, taking it as a consolation.
"besides……"
Lu Rang pulled her closer, his eyes brimming with deep emotions.
His voice was deep: "Your injuries were for me, your family was abandoned for me. From now on, everything about you is under my control."
Shang Wu was slightly taken aback.
Lu Rang ran his thumb across the corner of her eye, feeling a slight moisture. "I'll take full responsibility for you."
Shang Wu's breathing became slightly erratic, and she used laughter to cover up her urge to cry: "Take responsibility to the end? Okay, I recently saw a car I like, a house, oh right, and a limited edition bag, you can buy them for me."
Lu Rang didn't say anything, but took out her phone and unlocked it skillfully.
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"
Lu Rang entered his account number and password into the memo. "This is my savings account. Buy whatever you want."
Shang Wu was surprised: "The Yu family has a savings fund for each generation of successors?"
I heard that ever since the Yu family took over Wanhu, they have been depositing 20% of the annual revenue into the successor's savings account.
"Okay, feel free to waste it, it's all yours." Lu Rang handed her the phone.
Shang Wu held her phone and blinked.
She seems to have become a wealthy woman capable of buying up the entire city.
The doctor tiptoed out and, as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Qianjue waiting with her hands behind her back.
He walked over with his head down: "Miss Shang just said that she broke off her ties with the Shang family for the sake of the young master, and has now been kicked out of the house."
Qianjue raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, and turned to look at the tightly closed door.
He waved for the doctor to leave, then took out his phone and dialed Lu Zheng's number.
"Sir, Miss Shang has broken ties with her family. It's estimated that she will start helping the young master resolve the labor union conflicts at the docks."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zheng was silent for two seconds before letting out a meaningful hum.
"Ruan Yuzhi is still as ruthless as ever, just like back then, she can even sever ties with her own daughter."
He paused for a moment, then said, “Tell Lu Rang that as long as Shang Wu can get the docks back to normal and the labor union stops causing trouble, the Yu family elders will accept Shang Wu.”
Qianjue agreed, "From the moment I discovered that you were exonerating the Shang family, everything was under your control. I admire your methods so much. You manipulated everyone, and every move you made was perfectly timed."
Lu Zheng placed his phone face down on the table.
The study was filled with the rich, soothing scent of sandalwood incense.
He squinted, staring intently at the rising smoke.
"In the end, Shang Wu was used by the Yu family and then discarded by them, just like the Zhou family schemed against her. What do you think Ruan Yuzhi's reaction will be when she finds out?"
Qianjue laughed: "Seeing my own daughter end up like this must be like having my heart ripped out."
"Does it hurt that much?" Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes. "That's great."
