Aying agreed, then stammered, "Um, Miss Shang, may I ask you a personal question?"
Shang Wu chuckled: "You already said it was an impolite question, so why did you ask again?"
Aying was taken aback.
"Alright, just kidding. Go ahead and ask." Shang Wu started the car and drove away from the hospital parking garage.
Aying let out a breath and asked carefully, "I just want to ask, Miss Shang, have you really severed ties with the Shang family? Everyone is saying that you broke with your family to become the wife of the Yu family and have now left the Shang family. I... I'm not trying to gossip, I'm just a little worried about you."
Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Only she and her family knew about the severing of ties; it couldn't have been Shang Yun Shen spreading rumors.
The only person who could do this was Ruan Yuzhi, her mother.
Her personality was like Ruan Yuzhi's, somewhat stubborn and decisive.
It is very likely that someone came to visit her and asked about her situation, and Ruan Yuzhi did not shy away from saying that they had broken off their ties.
She's now with Lu Rang, and everyone in the industry is wary of her. Just a couple of days ago, she made an example of someone, dealing with a group of people, led by Su Tingting, who had a loose tongue.
Therefore, no one dared to mention this matter in front of her these past two days, and she naturally did not know that the matter of severing ties was already common knowledge.
"Miss Shang? Are you alright?" A-Ying's voice rang out again.
Shang Wu snapped out of her daze, feeling a bit down, and turned the steering wheel while staring straight ahead.
"Yes, the kinship is over."
Since Ruan Yuzhi doesn't care and can say whatever she wants, she has no reason to deny it.
"Don't worry about me. Just do your job well at the company. My brother is a very good person and won't let you be bullied. Even if I have no connection with the merchants, if you have any difficulties at the company in the future, just come to me."
Ah Ying's breathing became slightly heavy, and she choked up, as if she was moved to tears. "Miss Shang, you must be happy."
Yes, it will.
Shang Wu hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and drove home.
She composed herself at the apartment door, then casually pushed the door open, poured the nutrient solution into a cup, inserted a straw, and delivered it to Lu Rang's room.
Lu Rang leaned against the bed, working on his laptop.
Shang Wu walked over, intending to take the notebook back. "Why are you being disobedient again? Dealing with account books again? Your arm isn't healed yet, don't type..."
Lu Rang immediately grabbed her wrist, blinked, and gestured for her to come over.
Shang Wu leaned over to look at the computer screen and couldn't take her eyes off it.
On the screen was a light pink engagement invitation in her favorite Roman font, with her name and Lu Rang's name on the same line.
[Lu Rang of the Yu family, along with his fiancée Shang Wu, cordially invites you to their engagement banquet.]
Shang Wu sat on the edge of the bed, her pupils filled with pink, and couldn't help but laugh: "What are you doing?"
Lu Rang typed: "I'd like to personally arrange the engagement banquet at Wanhu Lake, is that alright?"
Shang Wu leaned on his shoulder, "Your Yu family has never held an engagement banquet or wedding ceremony anywhere else, has it?"
Lu Rang typed four words: "As long as you want to."
Shang Wu smiled: "Let's go to Wanhu."
She saw an email pop up in her computer status bar; it was an engagement party setup plan sent by the wedding planner. It felt like walking on cotton, not quite real.
From the moment she learned of Lu Rang's illness, Lu Zheng seemed less determined to stop her from being with Lu Rang.
Perhaps it was because he saw her determination to make Lu Rang a better person.
She had thought the account books and the dockworkers' affairs would be difficult to handle, and Lu Zhenghe and the clan elders had asked her to resolve them within half a month, but now they could be resolved in a week.
It went surprisingly smoothly.
It went too smoothly... a little too smoothly.
Or was her life destined to be this smooth, finally ending with her hardship and achieving happiness?
Shang Wu couldn't help but laugh, and hugged Lu Rang's uninjured arm: "You need to rest well and get your injury healed. I don't want you to be unable to speak when you get engaged."
Lu Rang pursed his lips, his expression turning serious, and immediately reached for the nutrient solution in Shang Wu's bag.
The nutrient solution clearly didn't taste good, and it stung his mouth, but he still frowned and finished it.
Shang Wu raised her hand and rubbed the back of his head, like stroking a puppy's fur.
"That's great."
She picked up her phone and stood up: "I'll go answer this call."
Shang Wu went to the corridor, closed the door, and answered the phone call from the prison.
"What's up?"
"Zhou Yanci is dead."
Shang Wu's breath hitched, and after a few seconds of pause, she asked lightly, "How did you die?"
"He was already on the verge of death, and after holding on for so many days, he suddenly died of a heart attack yesterday. However, when he died... he left something on the wall, and the forensic doctor took photos as soon as he went in. Do you want to see them?"
Shang Wu pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Send it over."
