Shang Wu just felt frustrated.
Hearing others say to Lu Rang without even thinking that she was not good enough for him made her feel suffocated.
Lu Rang didn't care.
There were just too many people talking about it.
For the first time, she really wanted to quickly establish her business and return to this industry.
Tang Xueli felt a little sorry for Shang Wu and reached out to rub his cheek.
"Alright, alright, Ah Wu, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? You're now in charge of Chengzhou, you're already a powerful female CEO, even more capable and respected than before, so why are you feeling inferior?"
Shang Wu was taken aback.
self-abasement?
She was originally worried that she was not good enough for Lu Rang, which is why she was feeling sentimental here.
Shang Wu patted his forehead, suddenly realizing how incredibly bored he was.
She took a few sips of wine and patted Shirley Tang.
"I'm going to the restroom."
As Shang Wu spoke, she headed towards the restroom on the first floor.
On the second floor, Lu Rang inadvertently looked down and only caught a glimpse of a familiar back.
He frowned, surveyed the bar on the first floor, saw Tang Xueli and the pearl white handbag next to her, put down his wine glass and turned around.
"Hey, Lu Rang, where are you going?"
Lu Rang ignored them and went downstairs, where he saw two drunk men banging on the bathroom door.
"Come out, come out! Are you done yet? You little wench, get out here right now!"
Shang Wu leaned against the sink and shook her head.
As the alcohol took effect, she originally intended to wash her hands, but she became increasingly dizzy.
The people outside sounded particularly fierce, so Shang Wu didn't dare to go out.
She bit her lip, took out her phone to call Tang Xueli, and asked her to handle the situation with the bar staff.
Suddenly, a scream rang out from outside.
"Ahhhh—"
The two men wailed and howled like pigs being slaughtered through a door.
Shang Wu hung up the phone and carefully unlocked the door. As soon as she opened it a crack, she saw Lu Rang standing with his back to her, stepping on one of the drunk men.
The black coat made him appear even taller and more imposing.
Lu Rang kicked the man away and said, "Get lost."
The two drunkards ran away.
He turned around and was met with Shang Wu's face suddenly close to his.
Lu Rang was taken aback, then, supporting Shang Wu, frowned deeply: "How did you get so drunk?"
Shang Wu was not actually drunk.
She felt her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't open her eyes to see Lu Rang clearly. Her mind was also in a mess.
“Lu Rang.” Shang Wu looked up at him, then pointed to herself. “I, I used to be a rich and beautiful woman too.”
Lu Rang smiled and grasped her hand: "You are now too."
"No, I'm not. Only rich young ladies are called 'Bai Fumei' (a term for a woman who is beautiful, rich, and successful). I'm not like that now."
Shang Wu brushed Lu Rang aside and walked out.
It wasn't until she started to feel dizzy and lightheaded that she began to suspect that the bartender had given her sleeping pills instead of strong liquor.
She's not usually a heavy drinker, so why is she so dizzy...?
Shang Wu tried to shake her head to clear her mind, but she lost her balance and fell to the side.
The next second, she bumped into Lu Rang's arms.
Lu Rang grabbed her arm and pulled her to a seat: "You keep an eye on her, I'll go get some honey water."
Tang Xueli looked bewildered and quickly helped Shang Wu up.
Lu Rang returned quickly, with a straw still inserted in the honey water in his hand.
He held the straw to Shang Wu's mouth.
"drink."
When Shang Wu is half-drunk, he is quite well-behaved.
She opened her mouth, bit the straw, drank a few sips of honey water, and then leaned back on the bar.
"I can't take it anymore, I'm dizzy..."
Tang Xueli reluctantly got up, took out her car keys, and handed them to Lu Rang.
"Since you haven't been drinking, why don't you take her away?"
Lu Rang asked, "How did you know I hadn't been drinking?"
“When Shang Wu came to see you just now, she told me that she came because she was worried that you were allergic to alcohol,” Tang Xueli explained.
A strange light flashed in Lu Rang's eyes, uncertain: "You mean, she came here because of me?"
“Of course.” Tang Shirley smiled meaningfully. “To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen her so worried about someone. Why did you come to the bar if you’re allergic to alcohol? It makes her worry.”
Lu Rang's gaze fell on Shang Wu, softening slightly. Seeing that she had only drunk half a glass of lemonade and then stopped, he helped her up.
"Come on, I'll take you back."
Shang Wu was drunk and didn't even want to talk. She was in a daze and let him half-support and half-embrace her as they walked out.
Once outside and inside the car, she looked at Lu Rang, pursed her lips, and gently took his wrist.
Lu Rang grasped her hand in return, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove: "Did you hear what I said to my friend?"
Shang Wu leaned against the passenger seat and glanced at him.
"right."
"Did you hear them say that you're not a good match for us and that you're not good enough for me?" Lu Rang continued to ask.
Shang Wu immediately turned to look out the window, her eyes darting around.
Her expression darkened: "I heard you. I don't know who you are, or which family you come from, but given my current background and the extent of your family's opposition to me, what your friends said isn't entirely wrong, I..."
Before Shang Wu could finish speaking, a bright red piece of paper suddenly appeared in front of her.
Lu drove the car to a park with few people nearby, took out a pen and handed it over.
Shang Wu was not in a clear mind; she just looked at the paper full of words and felt dizzy.
“What is this?” she asked.
