The bodyguards behind him were all stunned.
Shang Wu was still not satisfied, so she raised her hand and slapped Qian Jue again, her fingertips slightly bent, her sharp nails leaving a bloody mark on Qian Jue's face.
Qianjue wiped the blood from his face, his chest heaving with anger, and roared at her in a low voice, "What are you doing!"
"Why isn't he even provided with a personal doctor! You make it sound so easy that he just takes a cold shower, but do you know how much he's suffered!"
Shang Wu exuded an imposing aura, staring intently at Qian Jue with icy coldness in her eyes. She coldly questioned, "He left Wanhu, and you all just ignored him? When I gain the approval of the Yu family elders and return to the Yu family with Lu Rang, the first thing I'll do is tear you apart!"
Qianjue gritted her teeth, a bright red scar on her face, like a mark of shame.
But he couldn't move.
Faced with Shang Wu's fury, he felt as if his throat was being choked.
Qianjue took a deep breath before asking, "There are still a few days until spring, and it's not even late spring when the disease is most frequent. How did he trigger his illness?"
Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Qianjue narrowed her eyes: "I want you to tell the truth."
"I don't need to explain to you." Shang Wu said expressionlessly. "I will give Lu Rang an explanation for this matter. You stay here and keep watch. I'm going out to take care of some things."
She hadn't taken two steps when Qianjue's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Is it your family? They don't approve of you being with the young master, and they keep bringing up his illness. The young master is insecure and can't help but think about his past psychological trauma, which led to his illness."
Shang Wu stopped in his tracks.
Qianjue stared intently at her retreating figure. "You haven't even resolved your family's opinions and views yet. How can the master believe that the young master will only improve by following you? Don't you ever think that the root of all this isn't our failure to provide timely medical assistance, but rather your fault?"
Shang Wu clenched his fists, feeling exhausted and powerless.
Qianjue snorted, "Young Master helped your business revive, overturn the case and start a company, but your family refuses to accept him. I think it's the young master who suffers the most by staying by your side."
Shang Wu left without saying a word or looking back.
After going downstairs, she drove home.
The shop's lights were still on, clearly indicating that neither Ruan Yuzhi nor Shang Yunshen were asleep.
Shang Wu parked the car, opened the door, and went inside.
Seeing her disheveled appearance and covered in blood, the two people sitting on the sofa were stunned.
Shang Yun Shen was pouring tea for Ruan Yuzhi when he saw this. He immediately put down the teapot, went over, and pulled Shang Wu's arm. "A-Wu, what's wrong...?"
"Don't touch me!"
Shang Wu shook him off, her eyes welling up with tears, and choked out, "I risked my life, endured the disgust, and dealt with Zhou Yanci to help our Shang family overturn the case. No matter how tired or hard it was, it was all my duty, because I am a part of the Shang family!"
Ruan Yuzhi stood up with a complicated expression.
Shang Wu looked directly at her and stepped forward: "But Lu Rang is not a member of the Shang family, he doesn't owe you anything!"
"He neglected his food and drink to help your son find medical records at the hospital, have you forgotten? He gave up his job as a lawyer to make a deal with his father, and because he got close to me, he was hurt by Zhou Yanci and got into a car accident, almost losing his life!"
“I’ve told you everything he’s done! What did you say back then? You said you owed Attorney Lu a huge favor, and that any way you could repay him would be the right thing to do!”
"But now? Just because he's sick, just because of those rumors that have no evidence whatsoever, you're looking at him with prejudice and hurting him, isn't that right?"
Shang Wu remained emotionally agitated for several hours, and after her intense questioning, she began to feel dizzy and short of breath.
She couldn't even see Ruan Yuzhi's expression clearly.
Shang Yun Shen quickly went to help her up: "What happened? Why did you come home and throw such a tantrum?"
Shang Wu laughed angrily and turned to look at him: "What happened? Fine, I'll tell you what happened."
She stepped forward, closing in on Shang Yun Shen: "Because you asked those damn questions in the car, he got sick and injured, and was even drugged. Are you satisfied now? Are you all satisfied? Am I the one dating or are you? Why did you provoke him without my permission!"
"Shut up!" Ruan Yuzhi grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it at her feet.
A shard of porcelain broke off and grazed Shang Wu's calf.
Shang Wu felt a sharp pain, her legs went weak, and she almost sat down on the ground.
Ruan Yuzhi was so frightened that she reached out her hand. She only clenched her fist after seeing that she had stood firm, and asked in a deep voice, "Your brother was just concerned and asked him a few questions. He was worried about his condition. He is so prone to having seizures, and he even made you come back covered in blood and yelling. I think you've lost your mind!"
“We are grateful to him, but as I said, we would do anything for him, we just don’t want you to be with someone who is sick and has a murder on his hands!”
Shang Wu's calf was bleeding profusely.
She trembled all over, and gave a mocking smirk.
"The terrible person you mentioned, even if drugged, wouldn't have the heart to touch or hurt me, and would rather cut themselves."
Ruan Yuzhi was taken aback.
Shang Wu closed her eyes: "Sometimes I really don't know if you're doing this for my own good or to hurt me."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Ruan Yuzhi stared at her retreating figure, bewildered, and asked, "What do you mean? Where are you going? Are you abandoning this family?"
Shang Yun Shen then spoke up: "A Wu, calm down. What happened today was my fault. I didn't know he would have an attack. You're angry right now, so don't do anything impulsive!"
Shang Wu clenched her fists and turned around.
“Brother, I’m not acting impulsively. It’s just that Mom doesn’t accept Lu Rang and won’t give him a chance. I had no choice. From now on, you two should live your lives well together.”
She smiled, and a tear slid down her cheek.
"I've given you everything I was entitled to."
"I'm too lazy to investigate. Mom, what grudge do you have with the Yu family, and why do you know about the rumors about the Yu family? From now on, you are you, and I am me."
Shang Yunshen frowned: "Awu, are you really going to break off your relationship with the Shang family?"
Shang Wu smiled sadly.
“If Lu Rang could stand up for me against his father, what can’t I do? Anyway, you can still live your lives without me.”
Ruan Yuzhi's lips trembled with anger: "Shang Wu, don't think you can threaten me like this! We're all doing this for your own good. You've already been love-struck once! Do you want to sever our mother-daughter relationship for another man? You're jumping into a fire pit!"
“Even if Lu Rang is a pit of fire or a pot of boiling oil, I’m determined to jump in. I’ll consider it an unfilial daughter. Now Lu Rang needs me more, and I have to go and be with him.”
Shang Wu gave her a deep look, then left resolutely.
Blood dripped down her leg and onto the floor, splattering like flowers.
The last figure disappeared into the night, leaving only a deathly silence in the hall.
