The bodyguards stopped.
Su Tingting and the others also kept a close eye on Shang Wu.
"Really? You're really that aloof? You've already been played by Zhou Yanci and the young master of the Yu family, what's there to be ashamed of!"
Before she finished speaking, Shang Wu had already gripped the butterfly knife and slashed her left cheek without hesitation.
Blood gushed out instantly, making her face even paler. Soon, the blood flowed down her face, onto her collar, and onto the front of her coat.
The private room fell silent.
The group stared blankly.
Shang Wu remained expressionless, as if she felt no pain.
Especially considering she was covered in blood and still showed no emotional fluctuations, it seemed even more eerie.
Shang Wu's eyes shattered, and she stubbornly pursed her lips: "Is this alright?"
"You, you actually had the heart to hurt your own face!"
Su Tingting was startled, swallowed hard, and scolded, "Don't think you can pay off my debt like this! Even if you don't become a prostitute, you'll still have to clean the rooms and toilets at this club!"
Seeing Shang Wu's face covered in blood made her panic.
She turned around and said, "Leave two people to watch her, don't let her escape! Let's go, let's not get any bad luck here!"
As soon as the person left, Shang Wu collapsed weakly to the ground.
My cheek is in excruciating pain.
She raised her hand to touch it, but her fingertips recoiled, and she endured the pain without moving, a look of bewilderment flashing across her eyes.
My face is ruined.
But she had no other choice; to preserve her innocence, she had no other option.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Shang Wu fainted again...
...
...
It was late at night.
Wanhu Yujia.
Lu Zheng hurriedly entered the study.
The safe was pried open, and the seals, important documents, and marriage certificate inside were all missing.
Qianjue arrived with his men: "Sir, we have already investigated. The young master was pretending to be asleep. He attacked the doctor and bodyguards and then fled. He disappeared after leaving the study."
Lu Zheng's face was gloomy, and he turned his back to stare intently at him.
"What? There are no signs of activity around the study?"
Qianjue shook her head: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked at one of the walls in the study.
Meeting his signal, Lu Zheng also paused for a moment.
He squinted and walked to the wall of the study.
“Lu Rang, why go to all that trouble to take away the Yu family’s seal? The position of heir was originally yours. It’s no use having Shang Wu write her name on the marriage certificate. The elders don’t recognize her, so she is not the future wife of the Yu family.”
"I know you like her. Indeed, she is beautiful and capable. If I were you, I would also be attracted to such an outstanding woman."
“If she weren’t Ruan Yuzhi’s daughter, I would definitely let you marry her in a grand and glorious way, but she is not a good match for you.”
At this point, there was still no movement from inside the wall.
Qianjue frowned in confusion.
Before he could go forward to check, Lu Zheng raised his hand to stop him.
Lu Zheng continued, "I don't want you to do anything foolish for Shang Wu's sake. The grudges between her family and us can't be explained in a few words. Ruan Yuzhi will not approve of you."
“Including yourself, Lu Rang, if you knew what her mother did, you would also feel uneasy about being with Shang Wu.”
He had lost his patience. He waved his hand, signaling Qianjue to bring her bodyguards over.
"Come out! Let's talk. I can tell you everything."
Lu Zheng waited for a while, but there was still no movement inside.
"Sir." Qianjue stepped forward, eager to bring the person out.
Lu Zheng waved his hand, signaling him not to act rashly.
He said calmly, "The person is inside; you just need to send someone to guard them."
Qianjue nodded and turned to instruct the bodyguards.
"All of you, get out of here and surround all the exits. Don't let the young master leave."
Lu Zheng walked to the desk and sat down, focusing on his work and ignoring the people inside the secret room within the wall.
Gradually, everyone dispersed.
The bodyguards downstairs stood guard quietly.
Under the big tree outside the study window, Lu Rang held the seal and marriage certificate, and after confirming that the bodyguards would not come near, he left quietly.
He had just turned around when he heard the sound of a window opening upstairs.
Lu Rang's expression was indifferent as he turned to look up.
Lu Zheng looked at him in astonishment.
He hadn't expected such a coincidence. He was feeling stuffy in the study and wanted to open the window to let in some fresh air when he bumped into Lu Rang walking out from behind a tree.
Lu Zheng asked, "Where are you going?"
“You can’t stop me.” Lu Rang’s tone was icy.
Lu Zheng was silent for a few seconds: "You two can't be together, let go. I won't make things difficult for you anymore, just don't go see her."
Lu Rang turned and left.
"If you get together with her, you'll be betraying your mother!" Lu Zheng suddenly roared.
He was so angry that his heart was trembling.
Ruan Yuzhi has lived peacefully for so many years, and he has forced himself to forget the past.
Unfortunately, Lu Rang also ran into Shang Wu at the rival law firm of Chengzhou Group, encountering these persistent business associates.
The entanglements of Yu Ruyun's past when she was still alive thus came to mind.
“I’m serious, Lu Rang, there are so many women in the world, you don’t necessarily have to go for her.”
Lu Rang clenched the seal tightly without turning around: "Of all the women in the world, only she is mine. Shang Wu has suffered too much. Now the Shang family has severed ties with her. I will not leave her or abandon her. You'd better pray that Shang Wu has not suffered any grievances in this day and night. Even if she loses a single hair, you can forget about staying in the Yu family with dignity."
He left, never looking back.
Lu Zheng didn't stop him.
Lu Rang didn't understand what Lu Zheng's intentions were in doing these things.
He had the most beautiful and gentle mother, a kind and cheerful younger brother, and an apricot tree in his yard that was always swarming with sparrows.
