Shang Wu briefly explained the incident of being injured by robbers.
Lu Zheng's expression became even more solemn after hearing this.
He didn't ask any more questions, but simply placed the tonics he was holding on the table one by one.
"These are to help you recover. I asked a doctor, and they say pregnant women can eat them."
Then, Lu Zheng took out an exquisite velvet box and handed it to Shang Wu, his expression seemingly a little uncomfortable.
"This is for you."
Shang Wu took it with a puzzled look, opened it, and found that it was a jade necklace of excellent quality.
Its color is clear and its texture is excellent; one look and you know it's quite valuable.
She looked up in surprise: "This..."
Lu Zheng looked away, his tone stiff: "You're carrying my grandson, so we'll be family from now on. Consider this my acknowledgment of you."
Lu Rang, however, did not buy it.
He spoke coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Approval? Does Shang Wu need your approval? We're doing just fine now, we don't need your charity."
The atmosphere in the living room froze instantly.
Lu Zheng's face turned ugly.
Seeing that the father and son were about to clash again, Shang Wu quickly grabbed Lu Rang's hand and gently squeezed it, signaling him to calm down.
She smiled and said to Lu Zheng, "Thank you, I really like the gift. We are very happy that you could come to see us."
Shang Wu tried to ease the tension and change the subject, "By the way, Sister You knows I'm pregnant and has been taking good care of me. How about we invite Sister You over for dinner tonight? It'll be a family reunion."
Lu Zheng was also angry with Lu You. Upon hearing this, his expression darkened slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, you can make the arrangements."
Shang Wu immediately sent a message to Lu You, saying that Lu Zheng had arrived and they would have dinner together at home that evening.
On the other side.
Lu You was strolling through a high-end shopping mall when she received Shang Wu's message. She was standing outside a jewelry store, gazing absently at the sparkling diamond rings in the window.
When she heard that her father was coming and there would be a family dinner, her first reaction was a headache.
But thinking of the imperial sword that Shang Wu mentioned, he felt a little more at ease.
She replied and then prepared to go to the garage to drive her car.
However, just as Lu You turned to walk towards the elevator, a familiar voice rang out, tinged with uncertainty.
"Sister You?"
Lu You's body stiffened, and she slowly turned around.
Sure enough, Cheng Zhou and his Miss Zhao were walking out of the brand store across the street.
Zhao Yue affectionately linked arms with Cheng Zhou, carrying several shopping bags in her hands.
Cheng Zhou looked at Lu You, who was alone, with a complicated expression. He broke free from Zhao Yue's hand and took a few steps forward.
His voice was low, tinged with barely perceptible grievance: "Why did you block me? Even if we can't be friends... does that mean we can't even be friends anymore?"
Lu You looked at him, then glanced at the exquisitely made-up and politely smiling Miss Zhao behind him.
A surge of anger welled up inside her.
Lu You raised her chin, forcing an extremely distant and cold smile, her tone sarcastic: "Yeah, I don't think it's necessary to keep unimportant people taking up memory, and besides..."
She paused deliberately, her gaze sweeping over Cheng Zhou and Miss Zhao behind him.
"I'm taking my boyfriend home to meet my parents tonight, so there's no need for me to stay in touch with my ex. Goodbye."
After saying that, she didn't give Cheng Zhou any time to react, turned around and walked quickly towards the elevator, pressing the down button.
Cheng Zhou was stunned by her words and stood there, his face drained of color.
Should I bring my boyfriend home to meet my parents?
Watching Lu You's resolute departure, he couldn't help but cry out, "Lu You!"
Ignoring Miss Zhao's astonished gaze and the curious stares of those around him, Cheng Zhou strode after her.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, he blocked them!
Lu You was startled by his actions.
She forced herself to remain calm and said coldly, "Cheng Zhou, what are you doing? Let go."
Cheng Zhou stared intently at her, his chest heaving violently: "Explain yourself! How long have you known Fu Mingyuan? Do you even know him?! You're going to bring him home?"
His questioning was filled with jealousy and resentment, almost to the point of being reckless.
