He was stunned.
Shang Wu's eyes reddened: "Before I came to Wanhu, I promised my mother that I would resolve this matter within half a month. I wanted to ask Mr. Lu for an answer. Just now in the study, I did indeed learn everything."
Lu Rang turned his face away, unable to bear it, but Shang Wu forced him to turn back, compelling them to meet each other's eyes.
“Your brother’s death was not your fault; it was just an accident. Since he saved you, you should live well and live for him. You shouldn’t blame yourself for all the mistakes.”
Shang Wu gently stroked Lu Rang's lips and coaxed him softly, "As for Aunt Yu, her dream of making movies was shattered, and she didn't get along with your father. After giving birth to your brother, the entire Yu family wouldn't allow her to publicly announce your brother as the young master of the Yu family, which was the trigger for her pain."
"After suffering blow after blow and the pain of losing her child, perhaps leaving is her only way out. It's not your fault, it's really not your fault. Please don't do anything rash, okay?"
Lu Rang's breath hitched slightly as he listened quietly, his gaze falling on Shang Wu's smooth wrist.
The cold wind was blowing, and that part of his wrist was already frozen red.
Lu Rang's eyes flickered as he grabbed Shang Wu's wrist, the warmth of his palm gently warming her icy skin.
He finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "Me."
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "I've also thought about dying."
Shang Wu opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted again.
"But when I think of you, I can't bear to die."
After his brother and mother passed away, no one in the world could truly enter his inner world.
Until Shangwu appeared.
She sat in his office, negotiating with him. Beneath her calm and collected expression lay a soul as broken and helpless as his.
But they are different.
He was the sinner, while Shang Wu was the complete victim.
"Let's help her out. Just consider it as helping Dingfeng deal with Jinshui Law Firm. It's just mutual benefit."
"Let's help her a bit more. She seems a little overwhelmed. This case is very difficult; it's a challenge that will help her improve her skills."
“I want to help her; she needs me.”
Lu Rang's thoughts changed every day.
Until the very end, at some point, Shang Wu began to become his pillar of support.
These otherwise uneventful days have suddenly become interesting.
He began to have a goal in life: to be with Shang Wu.
But later, mental illness and the Yu family's past were brought up.
No matter how glamorous he may appear on the surface, his past is rotten to the core. If he discovers that Shang Wu may already know the truth and thinks he is the sinner who killed his mother and brother, Lu Rang will really not want to live anymore.
However, when he stood here just now, a sliver of hope still lingered in his heart.
Shang Wu will not abandon him, she will not leave him like her mother and brother did.
Then Shang Wu actually appeared.
At this moment, Lu Rang held Shang Wu, feeling her warmth.
Life is unpredictable and so short.
It's easy to want to die, but living well might not be so difficult.
Like a dandelion seed drifting in the wind, finding a warm and moist place to land and become a seed, it has a destination and a home for its life.
"Come here." Shang Wu opened her arms.
Lu Rang moved closer to hug her, lowering his head to rest against her neck.
The wounds he suffered from fear, anxiety, panic, and loss healed in that moment.
Shang Wu had never felt so acutely that Lu Rang needed her.
She patted Lu Rang on the back.
"Come with me, don't do anything, just rest and recover, I'll take care of you."
Lu Rang smiled.
However, someone spoke up at an inopportune time.
"Young Master has taken over the Yu family business and is now in charge of managing it."
Shang Wu frowned and glared at him with displeasure.
Besides Kindred, who looked pale and sickly, there was a group of bodyguards who were stiff as corpses and had watched everything with extremely strange expressions.
Qianjue shrugged: "This isn't my opinion. Mr. Lu should have stepped down long ago. The Yu family has been urging him to relinquish his position, and the young master has personally told several of his relatives that he wants to take over the business."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "Do you think Lu Rang is ready to get back to work in this state?"
Lu Rang kept looking at her, then suddenly leaned closer and kissed her on the cheek: "Why don't you do it?"
After she finished speaking, Qianjue asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Shang Wu was also surprised.
“You are mine, and therefore a member of the Yu family.” Lu Rang took her hand. “You can manage the Yu family business without any problems.”
Qianjue gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stepped forward: "This is absolutely not allowed! It can't be! Young Master, do you know what this means!"
When Shang Wu took over the Yu family's business, she wasn't responsible for making money like she was when she stayed at Chengzhou.
She needed to understand the Yu family's waterborne business, which was never known to outsiders, and how she could leap from the business circle into a higher social circle, interacting with the Yu family's leaders and high-ranking figures from all walks of life.
How should I introduce Shang Wu's identity to everyone then?
It seems that Shang Wu will inherit the Yu family's extensive network of connections across the country.
Qianjue grew increasingly anxious. "Young Master, this is absolutely unacceptable! The Master wouldn't agree either. This is business that only members of the Yu family can handle. You can't..."
“The Yu family business is my inherited estate. Whoever I appoint to manage it has the right to do so,” Lu Rang interrupted him. “What gives you the right to object? What gives Lu Zheng the right?”
Upon hearing this, Qianjue opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He took a deep breath and had no choice but to go see Shang Wu.
"Miss Shang, what do you think? If you take over the Chengyu family's business, what will happen to your Shangjia Group? You also have your work as a designer. Will you be able to manage it all?"
Qianjue could only pin her hopes on Shangwu, hoping that she was too busy to handle it and would decline.
Shang Wu slightly curved her lips and raised her chin.
"The more you try to stop me, the more I want to understand how the Yu family's business works."
Lu Rang took her hand, ignoring Qian Jue's ashen face, and led her away.
He left Shang Wu in the living room, and after saying something to Lu Zheng, he came out holding an account book.
"These are the Yu family's business accounts. There have been some problems recently. Take a look. If you can't handle it, then I will."
Lu Rang opened the ledger, which was covered with red lines.
Clearly, these are all problems with the business.
This was still a field that Shangwu had never ventured into before.
She took a deep breath, feeling immense pressure.
Seeing what she was thinking, Lu Rang explained in a low voice, "I want you to handle these things not so that I can shirk my responsibilities, but so that you can integrate into a higher circle and have connections that others can only envy."
He gently stroked Shang Wu's cheek.
"I want everyone in Lincheng to stop looking down on you."
"I want them to fear you, yet have no choice but to fawn over you."
