"What did you say?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Rang's eyes.
Shang Wu nodded: "Yes, I can't go back anymore."
Lu Rang's fingertips stiffened.
He knew all too well what family meant to Shang Wu.
It was her support every second during her revenge, the most indispensable and cherished thing in her life.
She dreams of her brother being released from prison, her parents returning to her side, and the family running the company well and restoring its former glory.
Now, because of him, Shang Wu has abandoned all of these things.
Lu Rang asked with difficulty, "Is it worth it to do this for me?"
Shang Wu looked at the wound on his arm: "And what about you? Was everything you did for me worth it?"
Lu Rang smiled slightly and raised his hand: "Come here."
Shang Wu leaned closer, and Lu Rang gently patted her back to comfort her.
"I will try my best to cure my illness, and about my brother's matter..."
Shang Wu immediately interrupted, "Don't say it, don't mention it." She was afraid that Lu Rang would have another episode.
Even if he doesn't get sick, it's still a heavy and heartbreaking thing, a scar in Lu Rang's heart.
Lu Rang insisted on continuing, "If my brother's matter cannot be explained clearly, I will find a way to get Lu Zheng to go to your mother and explain it to her. Your mother may not believe me, but she can't not believe Lu Zheng."
Shang Wu's heart softened.
She nodded and said softly, "These things can't be forced. If they can't accept you, then so be it. Anyway, they have money and are healthy now, so I don't have to worry. I just want to be with you, to stay with you forever."
Lu Rang did not respond.
He remembered that Shang Wu had said that their family had a very good relationship and had never quarreled since they were young. At most, their parents would bicker, have a cold war for a couple of days, and then act as if nothing had happened.
Lu Rang paused for a moment: "No rush, I will let you go back to the Shang family. We will get married in the future, and we will have the blessings of your family."
Shang Wu nodded, taking it as a consolation.
"besides……"
Lu Rang pulled her closer, his eyes brimming with deep emotions.
His voice was deep: "Your injuries were for me, your family was abandoned for me. From now on, everything about you is under my control."
Shang Wu was slightly taken aback.
Lu Rang ran his thumb across the corner of her eye, feeling a slight moisture. "I'll take full responsibility for you."
Shang Wu's breathing became slightly erratic, and she used laughter to cover up her urge to cry: "Take responsibility to the end? Okay, I recently saw a car I like, a house, oh right, and a limited edition bag, you can buy them for me."
Lu Rang didn't say anything, but took out her phone and unlocked it skillfully.
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"
Lu Rang entered his account number and password into the memo. "This is my savings account. Buy whatever you want."
Shang Wu was surprised: "The Yu family has a savings fund for each generation of successors?"
I heard that ever since the Yu family took over Wanhu, they have been depositing 20% of the annual revenue into the successor's savings account.
"Okay, feel free to waste it, it's all yours." Lu Rang handed her the phone.
Shang Wu held her phone and blinked.
She seems to have become a wealthy woman capable of buying up the entire city.
The doctor tiptoed out and, as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Qianjue waiting with her hands behind her back.
He walked over with his head down: "Miss Shang just said that she broke off her ties with the Shang family for the sake of the young master, and has now been kicked out of the house."
Qianjue raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, and turned to look at the tightly closed door.
He waved for the doctor to leave, then took out his phone and dialed Lu Zheng's number.
"Sir, Miss Shang has broken ties with her family. It's estimated that she will start helping the young master resolve the labor union conflicts at the docks."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zheng was silent for two seconds before letting out a meaningful hum.
"Ruan Yuzhi is still as ruthless as ever, just like back then, she can even sever ties with her own daughter."
He paused for a moment, then said, “Tell Lu Rang that as long as Shang Wu can get the docks back to normal and the labor union stops causing trouble, the Yu family elders will accept Shang Wu.”
Qianjue agreed, "From the moment I discovered that you were exonerating the Shang family, everything was under your control. I admire your methods so much. You manipulated everyone, and every move you made was perfectly timed."
Lu Zheng placed his phone face down on the table.
The study was filled with the rich, soothing scent of sandalwood incense.
He squinted, staring intently at the rising smoke.
"In the end, Shang Wu was used by the Yu family and then discarded by them, just like the Zhou family schemed against her. What do you think Ruan Yuzhi's reaction will be when she finds out?"
Qianjue laughed: "Seeing my own daughter end up like this must be like having my heart ripped out."
"Does it hurt that much?" Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes. "That's great."
