Zhou Yanci stopped a few steps away from her, her gaze gradually becoming meaningful.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll head back now. You should also go home and rest early; it's windy outside."
Shang Wu turned around and nodded at him.
After watching Zhou Yanci leave, her eyes turned cold.
The phone rang; it was the real estate agent calling.
"A business couple wants to buy this villa and asked me to ask you if you're sure you want to sell it for half price?"
Shang Wu replied without hesitation, "Yes, I'm in a hurry to get rid of it."
"Okay, I understand."
The agent breathed a sigh of relief: "Then they can come and sign the contract with you and complete the formalities in the next few days."
"OK."
Shang Wu hung up the phone, turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing that several more bodyguards had been added to the villa's perimeter, she withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and left.
the next day.
The rooftop terrace of Yunhe Hotel.
The media gathered, along with Zhou Yanci's close friends, high society figures, and Tang Xueli and others.
Shang Wu was on the phone with Xiao Dong in the car on their way to the hotel.
"It's almost time. Bring Zhou Yanci over now."
Xiao Dong said, "Okay."
The driver turned his head and looked at Shang Wu's black belted trench coat with some doubt.
"Mr. Shang, why aren't you and Mr. Zhou wearing formal attire to the banquet?"
Shang Wu looked out the window but did not answer.
She was too busy today, having just hired a driver to pick up her brother from prison. She knew nothing about the driver and was too lazy to explain much.
Shang Wu casually asked, "Did you pick my brother up this morning?"
"After the court hearing, Young Master Yun Shen was acquitted. He said he wasn't in a good condition to go back directly, so he was thinking of staying at a hotel to tidy up and then coming to find you tonight so we could go back together," the driver replied.
Shang Wu nodded.
That's fine.
Let my brother see how Zhou Yanci was condemned by everyone and ruined his reputation.
The car stopped outside the hotel.
Lu Rang waited by the private elevator.
Seeing that his hand hadn't fully healed before he came over, Shang Wu subconsciously quickened her pace.
"Why did you come? I told you to rest at home and not to worry about things here."
Lu Rang resolutely refused: "No, I'll go with you."
Shang Wu had no choice but to pull him into the elevator.
As soon as they entered, Lu Rang took Shang Wu's hand and lowered his head to kiss her.
Two people suddenly entered the elevator: "Wait, wait! The elevator over there is full, you can come in... Miss Shang!"
Shang Wu hurriedly pushed Lu Rang away.
Lu Rang was forced to push away, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes as he stared coldly at the newcomer.
The visitor was Yuan Luoluo, the daughter of the Yuan family, who was not very familiar with Shang Wu.
She smiled at Shang Wu: "Congratulations! You and Young Master Zhou are getting married soon. Good things are just around the corner. Don't forget to invite me to your wedding!"
Lu Rang stepped back to make room for Yuan Luoluo and stood behind Shang Wu.
Shang Wu smiled politely and changed the subject: "Tongxi, how have you been lately? Have you got a boyfriend yet?"
Yuan Luoluo shook her head: "Where can you find a boyfriend as good as Zhou Shao? Not everyone is as lucky as you to be with him."
Shang Wu smiled enigmatically: "You won't say that later."
"Oh dear, you're getting shy now. Tell me, are you secretly thrilled to be able to marry Young Master Zhou?" Yuan Luoluo teased her in a very familiar way.
Lu Rang's eyes darkened, and he pursed his lips.
Shang Wu was starting to lose her composure.
She had no choice but to nod in agreement: "...Indeed."
Yuan Luoluo was finally satisfied.
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she wouldn't say anything more.
Yuan Luoluo suddenly asked, "When are you planning to have children? While you're still young, you definitely want to have a few, right?"
Shang Wu: "..."
She was truly at her wit's end and didn't know how to respond when her hand, which was hanging by her side, was suddenly grasped.
Shang Wu turned around in surprise.
Yuan Luoluo turned her head and was startled by the handsome man behind her who was keeping his head down and not saying a word.
"Handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"
Lu Rang gripped Shang Wu's hand even tighter, but it was completely hidden by her coat.
He glanced at Yuan Luoluo: "No."
Shang Wu pinched Lu Rang's hand.
Shouldn't we say yes?
Yuan Luoluo hurriedly took out her phone from her pearl shell bag: "Shall we add each other on WeChat?"
When Lu Rang released Shang Wu's hand and handed her his phone, there were two crescent-shaped marks on the back of his hand.
Shang Wu hadn't expected him to actually add it, and she couldn't help but grab his sleeve, feeling annoyed: "He..."
"Sorry, I won't add you anymore," Lu Rang interrupted her, taking his phone back.
Yuan Luoluo was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Lu Rang said indifferently, "I don't like talkative and noisy women."
Yuan Luoluo's face fell, and she left in a huff, rolling her eyes, before even reaching the top floor.
Shang Wu laughed out loud, but Lu Rang grabbed her chin.
"You're allowed to show off your relationship, but I'm not allowed to pretend to be single?"
Shang Wu smelled a faint scent of vinegar in the air and grasped his wrist: "I was wrong."
She nodded her lips: "Punish me by letting you kiss me."
Lu Rang's breath hitched, and he lowered his head to kiss her.
The cell phone signal in the elevator was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
The two continued kissing, and the phone in Shang Wu's coat pocket lit up instantly.
Seven or eight missed calls and several text messages flooded the screen instantly, all from the bodyguard.
Shang Wu dodged Lu Rang's kiss and picked up her phone.
[There's a situation here. Zhou Yanci seems to be sleeping in her room. We can't get her to answer the door, and there's no sound. What should we do?]
Should we force our way in?
[Mr. Shang, the person has escaped.]
The elevator doors opened.
Several of Zhou Yanci's friends immediately took out the prepared fireworks, wanting to give the two a surprise.
With a bang.
Confetti rained down.
The cheers abruptly ceased when everyone saw that a strange man was standing behind Shang Wu.
Shang Wu's breathing quickened as she stared down at her phone, her face suddenly turning cold.
