Lu Rang didn't even look at what was in the chat box; he simply deleted the text message sent by Shang Yunshen with one click.
Includes historical records.
He leaned back on the sofa, his face showing an undeniable weariness.
Until the cool, soft fingertips landed on his forehead.
Shang Wu had somehow gotten behind him and was gently massaging his temples.
A gentle voice came from above his head.
Is this comfortable?
Lu Rang's anxiety subsided, and he opened his eyes to look at Shang Wu, gazing into her beautiful, round eyes.
Suddenly, he grabbed Shang Wu's hand and sat up straight.
"I'm going upstairs to take a shower first. We can talk about what you want to tell me later."
"But..." Shang Wu was about to call out to her when Lu Rang had already strode towards the stairs.
She subconsciously raised her hand, touched the corner of her eye, sighed helplessly, turned around and sat on the sofa. She picked up the potato chips that Lu Rang had carefully sealed for her, and then put them down again.
fine.
At least since returning to China, this was the first time Lu Rang had thought of the past because of her appearance.
The frequency will only decrease in the future.
This was originally a psychological trauma inflicted on Lu Rang by the merchants, and she would accompany Lu Rang through it no matter what.
What she didn't expect was that Lu Rang had been holding back and hadn't taken any action against the Shang family.
Given Lu Rang's attitude and temperament, the fact that he didn't harm Ruan Yuzhi is clearly because she is her biological mother.
Shang Wu repeatedly said that she didn't care about her mother at all.
But Lu Rang's mother was unaware that Ruan Yuzhi was the root of her depression, and the contents of her suicide note stipulated that no one should be allowed to harm the business.
Lu Rang could never bring himself to do it, even though he wanted to.
Shang Wu sighed softly, her mood also sinking a bit.
...
late at night.
In the middle of the night, Shang Wu woke up because of thirst. When she got up, she found that no one was beside her.
He went outside and saw Lu Rang sitting on the sofa in the living room, with only the faint light of his laptop in front of him.
His fingers tapped incessantly on the keyboard, his expression serious, typical of someone working at an office; he was clearly dealing with work-related matters.
Shang Wu turned on the light in surprise. "Why are you still busy so late? Is the work at the Yu family's place very busy? If you can't get away, I can help you."
"It's okay, you take care of your company's affairs. Isn't the new product design going to be released soon?" Lu Rang pinched the corner of his eye and closed his laptop. "I just had a bit of insomnia, so I'm working here to pass the time. You don't need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu pursed her lips and went down the stairs, holding onto the handrail.
What's causing your insomnia? Can you tell me?
Lu Rang's eyes flickered.
He had a nightmare after falling asleep, in which he dreamt that his mother had a wound on her head from being hit by a rock when she jumped into the lake.
His mother, her face covered in blood, stared coldly at him and asked, "Why are you with the daughter of your enemy? Don't you know that I was driven to depression by Shang Wu's mother and eventually committed suicide by jumping into the lake? Do you still consider me your mother? Tell me!"
She questioned him sternly, unlike her mother's usual gentleness.
When Lu Rang opened his eyes, he was covered in sweat. He was suppressing many indescribable emotions and could only go downstairs to distract himself with work.
Facing Shang Wu at this moment, he couldn't say anything, he just smiled.
"It's that kind of physiological insomnia, without any reason, maybe it's because I drank too much coffee today."
Shang Wu walked over and sat on his lap.
Lu Rang then held her in his arms.
Shang Wu put her arms around his neck and gave him earnest instructions.
"If you have any psychological pressure or worries, just tell me, okay? I'll be there for you and try to understand you."
Lu Rang avoided her gaze and tightened his grip on her wrist.
"I know, you go upstairs and rest first. I'll come find you after I finish this."
Shang Wu could only kiss him on the cheek.
"Then hurry up, I can't sleep without you."
She got up and left, going upstairs to wait.
Watching her leave, Lu Rang turned on his computer, finished his work, and then stood up.
Suddenly, the wristwatch came loose and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The watch face shattered.
Lu Rang paused, staring intently at the watch, which had a very business-like feel but a slightly outdated design.
It was a gift from his mother when he was a child.
He always dreamed of becoming like Lu Zheng, the heir to the family, living a life of glory and being treated with utmost respect wherever he went.
Especially Lu Zheng's watch, which usually has a simple black dial, but shines brightly when the sun shines on it.
At the time, he was only 11 years old and could only secretly look at such a watch and secretly envy it.
But somehow his mother figured out what he wanted, and on his birthday, he suddenly received a similar watch.
Lu Rang recently found the watch and started wearing it again.
But now it suddenly shattered.
This can be considered the last gift his mother gave him before she passed away.
Lu Rang slowly picked up the watch, looked at the shattered dial, and muttered to himself.
Is it a sign?
His mother disapproved of his current behavior and was blaming him.
Lu Rang suddenly felt a splitting headache and his heart felt so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
He gripped his watch tightly, his eyes gradually becoming unnatural.
Until the sound of a door slamming came from downstairs.
Shang Wu took two seconds to react before suddenly sitting up, then rolled out of bed in surprise and went outside to look.
There was no one left in the living room.
Lu Rang's shoes were also gone.
She immediately went to the second-floor balcony and saw Lu Rang drive away through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
