Instead of Lu Zheng repeatedly reminding her that she looked too much like the woman who killed Lu Rang's mother.
“Our family has a deep-seated grudge against Ruan Yuzhi. Lu Rang is the most sentimental and filial son.”
"You can tell by how serious his mental illness is and how he has tormented himself over the years."
"He won't have any complaints about you, but looking at you, he can't get over that hurdle in his heart. He's happy on the surface but under pressure inside. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Zheng's slow and deliberate words were tantamount to sentencing Shang Wu to death.
Shang Wu shook her head, trying to ignore the panic in her heart.
"I will protect our relationship and find a way to make him fully accept me."
Lu Zheng laughed: "Young people are so arrogant. Do as you please. Anyway, I believe Ruan Yuzhi will get her comeuppance."
"Your decision to sever ties with the business and take the company away is a kind of retribution."
Shang Wu couldn't stand it any longer, so she gave a few perfunctory words and left.
She sat in the car, rubbing her temples, feeling utterly exhausted.
Qianjue was responsible for taking her back, and on the way he said, "I am the master's nephew, you shouldn't know about this."
Shang Wu snapped out of her daze in surprise.
"What did you say?"
Qianjue looked ahead: "Yes, my name is Lu Qianjue. I am the master's nephew. I followed him only because my parents are no longer here. I am grateful to him for taking me into the Yu family, and I also want him and the young master to become better."
“If you can’t give the young master happiness, or if he has to stay with you in pain, you should let go. There are only a few people in our Yu family, and we can’t let them all be ruined by you.”
Shang Wu's breathing gradually quickened, her lips tightened, and she remained motionless for a long time.
She suddenly had a strong urge to see Lu Rang.
"Take me to the dock."
Lu Rang has been busy getting the ferry business back on track lately, working tirelessly at the dock.
Shangwu Management Company is also very busy, so this is their first time here.
There is a three-story detached house next to the dock.
The first floor houses the service windows and coordination areas, the second floor contains the management offices, and the third floor is a lounge and meeting room, as well as the place where Lu Zheng used to handle his work.
Just as Shang Wu arrived at the office on the third floor and was about to knock on the door to go in, she saw a man and a woman sitting opposite each other through the blinds.
She stopped in her tracks. She couldn't see the woman's face, but she saw Lu Rang smiling and staring intently at her.
Shang Wu suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Lu Rang like this in a long time.
A laugh free of any impurities or worries.
When facing her, Lu Rang would always avoid her gaze and always take care of her gently and considerately.
The ease and comfort they used to share were gone.
It wasn't their fault, yet they have to bear the consequences.
Shang Wu saw the contract in the woman's hand and realized that she was simply there to discuss work.
Could someone like that really make Lu Rang happier than being with her?
Shang Wu watched quietly for a few seconds, then turned and left.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, the receptionist who came towards her paused, looking quite surprised.
"Miss Shang, why are you out so soon? Have you seen the young master?"
Shang Wu smiled and said, "I've already met them. I have other things to do, so I'll head back first."
"good."
The receptionist watched her leave, scratching his head.
Shang Wu got into the car and pursed her lips: "If Lu Rang is with me, he really won't be that happy. What should I do?"
Qianjue looked at her in the rearview mirror.
"Then you should give up."
Shang Wu raised her head and looked at him, her gaze gradually becoming unwavering and resolute.
"I will not give up unless he tells me himself that he is unhappy and wants to break up."
She seemed to be speaking to Qianjue, but also to herself.
Qianjue did not respond, staring blankly ahead, as if he could not hear what she was saying.
Shang Wu took out her phone, brought up the chat interface, and after a moment's consideration, sent a message to Lu Rang.
I've made a reservation for dinner tonight; come with me.
Lu Rang replied almost instantly.
【good. 】
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter.
She believed that Lu Rang was also trying to process what had happened before and would not think about separating from her for even a second.
Shang Wu finally smiled a little more.
When she returned to the company and went upstairs, she found that every employee had a strange expression on their face.
It was as if something had happened, but no one dared to say anything in front of her.
Shang Wu frowned and went to the top-floor office.
As she passed the secretary's office, she saw Ah Ying staring at the computer screen with a grim expression.
Shang Wu paused, then quietly approached and saw the news content on the screen.
[Shocking! The merchant is actually the culprit behind the death of Madam Yu!]
