"This engagement party never existed from the beginning; it was just a beautiful dream I prepared for you."
Shang Wu's fingertips curled up: "Why?"
She desperately needed to know the reason.
Lu Zheng looked at her intently, his eyes narrowing: "I want to show Ruan Yuzhi that the outstanding daughter she raised has broken off ties with her in order to marry into my family, becoming deserted by everyone, and finally being used and discarded by the Yu family!"
Shang Wu swayed precariously, her voice breaking: "Do you have an old grudge against my mother?"
"Old grudges?"
Lu Zheng repeated these words and chuckled softly, "These two words cannot be used to describe it."
Shang Wu was trembling all over: "I don't care what happened between you. Lu Rang and I are truly in love. I have never thought of scheming against Lu Rang or your Yu family."
She took a deep breath and tried her best to keep herself from falling.
She can't faint.
We must not give up until we have convinced Lu Zheng.
“If you’re afraid that I’ll take advantage of the Yu family, I can leave with Lu Rang, or I can simply never interfere in the Yu family’s business.”
“I don’t necessarily want to marry into the Yu family. I only want Lu Rang. I just like him and want to be with him.”
"Please don't drag us into your older generation's grudges, okay?"
This was probably the most humble Shang Wu had ever shown Lu Zheng.
She just wanted to be with Lu Rang.
Live a good life, without backstabbing or ridicule.
It's enough that they spend every day together, just like the warm and happy moments from last night to this morning.
She could do without anything else.
Lu Zheng sneered: "Shang Wu, don't be delusional. Let me tell you, unless I die, I will never let Ruan Yuzhi's daughter enter the Yu family in my entire life, never."
Shang Wu's vision went black, and she only managed to stay upright by clenching her fists.
Her mind had stopped working.
She didn't have the energy to care about what had happened between the two of them.
"Let me see Lu Rang."
“It’s impossible.” Lu Zheng turned to the side and gestured for her to get on the boat. “Get on the boat. I’ll arrange for someone to take you away from Wanhu. From now on, Lu Rang will have nothing to do with you.”
Shang Wu panicked, her face turning deathly pale: "You can't do this! Lu Rang just survived, and he's only trying to improve himself because of me. If we break up, his mental world will collapse again. Can you bear the consequences?"
Lu Zheng thought about it carefully and nodded: "Indeed, I can't afford the consequences."
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we have some leverage.
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Zheng suddenly smiled.
"So, I arranged for my medical team to prepare some special medicine that will allow my son to sleep soundly for a long time, long enough that he will forget about you in his dreams."
Shang Wu froze completely, only then realizing why those people in white coats had appeared in the early morning.
She suddenly took a deep breath and stepped forward, but her frozen legs wouldn't obey her commands, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
The moment the pain struck, Shang Wu could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, her vision falling upon Lu Zheng's spotless leather shoes.
She slowly closed her eyes in despair.
“Lu Rang…”
The sound was dispersed by the cold wind.
Lu Zheng gave him a look, and Qian Jue immediately stepped forward, carrying Shang Wu away.
...
...
"Ah Wu, are you alright?"
A familiar, worried voice rang in my ears.
Shang Wu felt cold and annoyed.
"Why is she still having a persistent low-grade fever? Didn't she already take medication?"
"I don't know. Maybe it was too cold yesterday. She was frozen for too long and was close to hypothermia."
"...Never mind, go find a doctor to come and take a look. I'm a little worried."
"good."
It's getting noisier and noisier in my ears.
Shang Wu finally couldn't take it anymore and suddenly opened her eyes.
The first thing you see is a sky-blue ceiling.
She smelled a faint floral fragrance, followed by Tang Xueli's face suddenly looming closer, beaming with joy.
"Thank God, Ah Wu, you're finally awake!"
Shang Wu blinked slowly, her mind blank for a moment.
She moved her fingertip and pointed to her throat.
Tang Xueli immediately picked up the water on the table, handed it to her, and then helped her fold up her pillow.
"Here, drink more of this warm honey water."
Shang Wu took the water glass and gulped it down in one go, only then did she feel a little strength return to her body. She was still terribly cold and huddled in the quilt, too afraid to come out.
"How...did I get here?"
Tang Xueli sat on the edge of the bed and tidied her hair.
"I was getting ready to go to work this morning when I opened the car door and found you inside, unconscious. I quickly had someone carry you in."
She grasped Shang Wu's hand: "What exactly happened? You were clearly engaged to Lu Rang in Wanhu, how come everything changed overnight? Are those things on the internet true?"
Shang Wu asked weakly, "What is it?"
Tang Xueli hesitated, looking troubled, and handed her the phone.
Shang Wu took it and read it.
#Shang Wu's attempt to curry favor with a powerful figure failed, and she was jilted by the young master of the Yu family!
The eye-catching title is bolded, as if afraid that people won't be drawn in to read it.
