"My relationship with Lu Rang is not a bargaining chip to be used to negotiate or settle things peacefully. I'm sorry, but I absolutely cannot agree to this request. I will not entertain you."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Mrs. Cheng's face, which had instantly turned extremely ugly, picked up her bag, turned around and resolutely left the suffocating restaurant.
Behind them, they seemed to hear the sound of Mrs. Cheng angrily smashing a cup.
Shang Wu didn't turn around or pay any attention, and returned to her apartment with a belly full of anger.
She told Lu Rang what had happened that afternoon.
Lu Rang's face also darkened instantly. He hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be angry. It's not worth it for someone like that. If the Cheng family continues to act this way, we should just have less contact with them in the future."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Lu Rang went to open the door, and standing outside was Cheng Zhou, who looked haggard and had a guilty look in his eyes.
“Lu Rang, A Wu…”
Cheng Zhou's voice was hoarse, clearly indicating that he was also extremely stressed.
"I'm here to apologize on behalf of my mom and Coco. I know everything that happened this afternoon. I'm so sorry, I really..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cold and sarcastic voice came from behind him.
"Apologize? What good is an apology? Your Cheng family really knows how to play the good cop! The elders come out to play the bad cop and put on a show, while the younger ones stay at home acting like they're going to die! What? You think our A-Wu is easy to bully? You think my brother is your Cheng Keke's toy, something you can touch whenever you want?"
Lu You walked in in a flurry of activity.
She heard about what happened that afternoon and came over specifically for that.
Cheng Zhou was stunned.
Lu You crossed her arms, her eyes slicing through Cheng Zhou like knives, her tone extremely sarcastic.
"Let me tell you, Cheng Zhou! Tell your precious little sister to give up on that idea as soon as possible! As long as I, Lu You, am alive, she can forget about getting even a step closer to my brother! She's a born troublemaker! A vixen! She has absolutely no shame..."
"Lu You! That's enough!" Cheng Zhou interrupted her abruptly, his suppressed emotions completely ignited by Lu You's extremely harsh words.
His eyes were red as he glared at Lu You, his voice trembling with emotion: "Yes! It's my sister's fault! It's my mother's fault for failing in parenting. I'll apologize a thousand times, ten thousand times on their behalf! But I didn't come here today to persuade A-Wu and A-Rang to compromise!"
Shang Wu frowned: "Don't make a sound..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Zhou interrupted her: "I came here to discuss how to completely resolve this issue. I came here to tell you that I will send my sister abroad and I will keep an eye on her. Can you please stop saying such hurtful and offensive things?"
Cheng Zhou seemed to have been pushed to the limit, and blurted out, "Now I'm actually glad I didn't really end up with you! With your mouth and your unforgiving personality, who could stand you? I, Cheng Zhou, can't afford to serve you!"
Lu You's face turned deathly pale instantly, her eyes filled with shock and hurt.
She stared intently at Cheng Zhou, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"Cheng Zhou! What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Rang immediately shielded his sister behind him and angrily rebuked Cheng Zhou.
The situation instantly spiraled out of control!
Shang Wu was also stunned by Cheng Zhou's sudden outburst.
But looking at Cheng Zhou's pained and angry expression, and recalling what he had just said, she realized...
He came to solve the problem, not to exert pressure.
While Lu You's words were cathartic, they were undeniably hurtful to Cheng Zhou.
Caught in the middle, Cheng Zhou is under immense pressure from both his family and his own feelings, and he is on the verge of collapse.
Lu You was so angry that she trembled all over and turned to rush out.
Shang Wu quickly chased after him.
"Sister You! Wait a minute!" Shang Wu stopped Lu You, whose eyes were red and who was about to cry, in the corridor.
Then, she glanced back at the apartment entrance.
Cheng Zhou was equally agitated.
At this moment, it is not one side that needs to remain calm.
Shang Wu sighed, "Our affairs are none of your business. Don't let this hurt your relationship."
"Feelings? I have no feelings for him at all, didn't you hear? He'd rather not know me."
Lu You crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
Shang Wu gave Cheng Zhou a wink, signaling him to show his appreciation.
