When Shang Wu went outside, she saw Qian Jue waiting there.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Qianjue spoke, finally uttering the gentlest words he had ever spoken.
“Miss Shang, you are cunning and calculating, which is not suitable for our young master. Although the master will not harm you, he has many ways to separate you. Besides, you are not even officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet.”
Shang Wu's eyes darkened, and her gaze fell on him with a hint of mockery.
Qianjue asked again, "What, you don't believe me..."
Shang Wu interrupted him: "If it were you, and your family was murdered and imprisoned, poisoned, and your company's resources and talent were plundered, leaving you with nothing and suffering endless cold treatment, and in the end, your fiancée who was protecting you turned out to be your enemy, what would you do?"
Qianjue was taken aback.
Shang Wu's tone was even colder: "With such a huge grudge weighing on my shoulders, if I don't scheme and plot to the bitter end, am I supposed to just be a little white rabbit and get eaten alive without a trace?!"
She clenched her fists, trying hard not to let her emotions show.
"I also want to be a carefree heiress to a wealthy merchant family, but is reality allowed?"
Qianjue was speechless, staring at her blankly.
“You have no right to judge me from a superior position, unless you experience all the suffering I have gone through first.”
After Shang Wu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Qianjue had just caught up when he heard her coldly say from behind, "No need! I don't need you, my watchdog, to lead the way!"
Shang Wu left in a hurry and hailed a taxi on the roadside.
"Go to Aoki Prison."
The driver's eyes flickered strangely for a moment before he stepped on the gas.
Shang Wu rubbed his temples, leaned back in the back seat, and was still unsettled.
She couldn't stop thinking about what Lu Zheng had said and Qian Jue's disdainful attitude, and clenched her hands tightly.
When they arrived at the prison gate, Shang Wu took a deep breath, patted her face, and tried to appear relaxed.
She waited a moment in the visiting room, and the door finally opened.
Shang Wu immediately stood up and gave Shang Yun Shen a bright smile.
"elder brother!"
More than a month had passed since they last met, and Shang Yun Shen looked much better than before, with no wounds on his body.
Shang Wu was even happier, gazing at him longingly: "Brother, I miss you so much."
Shang Yunshen's smile deepened, his slightly pursed lips lifted gently, and his eyes were as warm and gentle as the afternoon sun.
"Awu, I miss you too."
Shang Wu eagerly gestured for him to come and sit down.
"Brother, great news! You'll be acquitted soon! Also, I've brought our parents to live with me; they're just waiting to reunite with you! And another thing, the court hearing is in a few days, so you'd better be prepared. I'll have someone send over all the documents later..."
She chattered on and on, getting more and more excited, as if she had returned to the time before the business ran into trouble.
All the sharp edges that had been forced to become acute by the outside world were softened by Shang Yun Shen's gentle gaze.
A rare smile appeared on Shang Wu's face, like that of a little girl. Taking advantage of the prison guard's inattention, she poked Shang Yun Shen's hand and quickly withdrew it.
"Brother, are you looking forward to it too?"
Shang Yunshen nodded with a smile.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I miss you and Mom and Dad so much. Of course I'm looking forward to going out, but..."
He scrutinized Shang Wu carefully, his tone becoming serious: "You need to tell me first, what has been happening outside during this time?"
Shang Wu bit her lip, never expecting it to come to this.
She sighed and briefly explained what Zhou Yanci had done over the years, as well as how she had taken her revenge.
Shang Yun Shen listened quietly, his expression growing increasingly somber and complex.
His eyes burned, his gaze fixed on Shang Wu's face, and as he watched her recount these events, the hatred and sharpness in his eyes resurfaced.
This was a side of Shang Wu that Shang Yunshen had never seen before.
The dramatic changes in her life have shaped her into the person she is today.
“Brother, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t be sad. What I’m doing isn’t hard at all. The business case will be overturned in three days, and our suffering will be over.”
Shang Wu tried to sound lighthearted, not wanting Shang Yun Shen to be sad.
Shang Yun Shen lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her, afraid of losing control of his emotions, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.
He wanted to ask if Shang Wu felt any pain when she discovered that her fiancé of three years, whom she had taken seriously, was her enemy.
I wonder if Shang Wu was tired or scared when she was supporting all of this on her own.
I also want to ask her if she ever breaks down at night when she thinks about all these past experiences.
As the older brother, he never imagined that one day he would be stuck in such a cramped prison, and that he would have to rely on his sister's efforts to regain her freedom.
"Brother, why are you crying? I'm not tired, I'm not suffering."
Shang Wu frantically searched for tissues for Shang Yun Shen.
Shang Yun Shen wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Before, at home, it was my parents and I who doted on you and dared not let you suffer any grievances. Now, you have become the pillar of the family. It is my fault for being useless."
Shang Wu's nose tingled with emotion, but she quickly smiled to suppress her feelings: "Why bring this up? We are family, we support each other. You used to love me so much, now it's my turn to protect you."
Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but mention Lu Rang.
"Brother, my lawyer was a great help in overturning the case this time. His name is Lu Rang. He's very capable and his background is also extraordinary. He's... the young master of the Yu family."
Shang Wu pondered and decided to tell her brother about her relationship with Lu Rang.
When she didn't know which family Lu Rang came from, she thought Lu Rang's father would take action against his family.
By then, she was indeed prepared to give up Lu Rang for the sake of her family.
But after learning that Lu Rang was a member of the Yu family, she no longer had that thought.
The Yu family would not commit evil deeds, which is why they have such a high reputation.
