Chapter 25 The adulterous couple put on an act



Shang Wu nervously closed his eyes.

"Attorney Lu, please have some self-respect!"

After the conversation ended, there was no intimacy as expected.

She felt the gauze on her face being gently pressed down, and the medical tape gripped her cheeks even tighter.

Shang Wu opened her eyes in surprise and met Lu Rang's deep gaze.

"I don't have a penchant for coveting other people's girlfriends."

Lu Rang then stepped back and straightened his sleeves.

"It was nothing, no need to thank me."

He had barely finished speaking when the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

"A-Wu!"

Ji Yu came in carrying food and was stunned when she saw that there were unfamiliar people there.

"Who are you?"

In an instant, Shang Wu's heart clenched, and she nervously pursed her lips.

Lu Rang's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Ji Yu and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Excuse me, you've come to the wrong ward. Could you tell me where the cardiac surgery ward is?"

Ji Yu stared intently at Lu Rang's face, swallowed hard, and subconsciously said, "I don't know, but I can take you there."

"No need, thank you."

Lu Rang pushed open the door and went out.

After the person left, Ji Yu stood there blankly, staring at the empty doorway of the ward.

Shang Wu's heart tightened slightly: "What's wrong?"

Ji Yu bit her lip, turned around, and blushed.

"I think I've fallen in love, Ah Wu. This is the first time I've seen someone who's even more handsome than Zhou Yanci!"

She put down her food and rushed out: "I'm going to get their contact information!"

Before Shang Wu could even speak, he had already vanished in a flash.

Two minutes later, Ji Yu returned with a smile, holding her phone and waving it at Shang Wu as if showing off her spoils of victory.

"What, did you get their contact information?" Shang Wu asked calmly.

Ji Yu smiled even more happily: "Of course! Don't you know how beautiful I am? How could I not get a man's contact information?"

Shang Wu frowned slightly, saying nothing, but a sense of unease quickly swept through her heart.

Ji Yu sat on the edge of the bed and excitedly added the other person.

"Awu, let me tell you, the three boyfriends I've dated this year, I always felt like they weren't quite right. But the one I just saw, I really felt love at first sight. Tell me, how confident am I that I can win him over?"

Shang Wu didn't speak, just kept her head down and ate.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering! Do you think I'm a good match for that handsome guy from earlier?"

Ji Yu suddenly leaned over and gave Shang Wu a flirtatious wink.

Shang Wu slammed down her chopsticks, her expression cold: "I don't even know if I'll be disfigured. Is it appropriate for you to discuss this kind of thing in front of me?"

Ji Yu's smile froze on her face. She wanted to refute but felt guilty, so she shrank back.

"Tch, is it really necessary to get so angry..."

Shang Wu pursed her lips and said nothing.

She also wondered what business it was of hers that the two of them had exchanged contact information, and whether it was really worth getting so angry...

That's really strange.

Shang Wu was too lazy to deal with Ji Yu, so she made an excuse to send her away and settled down to rest in the ward.

The limited-edition design drafts she sent to Ji Yu have already started to generate buzz and leaks through various promotional channels.

Akiyuki's design capabilities are beyond question; she has always been known as "Little Freya."

With several concepts revealed, everyone is even more excited about the limited-edition winter products.

In the following two days, Shang Wu's injury and Zhou Yanci's boyfriend-like actions in suing the instigator caused a great deal of buzz, further boosting the jewelry department's popularity.

After being indicted, Li Chengzhang publicly stated that he was innocent and would hire a lawyer to fight against Zhou Yanci.

Then, Mrs. Li announced that she had hired Lu Rang, a top lawyer in the industry, and would fight the Chengzhou Group to the bitter end.

One party filed a lawsuit aggressively to protect their fiancée, while the other party claimed to be innocent and asserted that the truth would prevail.

There is discussion from multiple parties.

Shang Wu was enjoying the peace and quiet of the hospital when she received the medical records sent by Lu Rang.

She sat up abruptly, opened the file, and sure enough, in the section about Mrs. Li's family members, the words "infertility" for Li Chengzhang were clearly written.

The registration date was ten years ago.

Shang Wu's heart raced instantly, and she called Lu Rang.

"With this medical certificate, can it be proven that my brother is innocent and did not accidentally seriously injure Li Chengzhang?"

Lu Rang pondered for a moment: "Theoretically, it is possible to clear your brother's name. It just depends on whether you simply want your brother to be released or whether you want to implicate the person who framed him."

Shang Wu opened her mouth, about to answer, but then stopped.

Now that the case has been overturned, her brother will be acquitted, and she will no longer be able to hide her secret investigation of Li Chengzhang and her suspicion that Zhou Yanci and Li Chengzhang were involved in setting up the incident back then.

Naturally, Zhou Yanci would think that his falling out with Li Chengzhang was probably instigated by her.

Doing so would not only ruin her next plans, but also prevent Li Chengzhang from stepping forward and accusing Zhou Yanci of instructing him to frame his brother.

no.

She hadn't finished reeling in her fishing net yet, and couldn't disturb Zhou Yanci for the time being.

Shang Wu composed herself and said solemnly, "I beg you to get close to Madam Li and investigate more details of this matter as evidence. I not only want to overturn my brother's case, but I also want the people behind this to pay the price."

"Um."

Lu Rang readily agreed without any objection.

Shang Wu paused, her eyes flickering: "You...do you know something?"

"Explain it more clearly?"

"No, never mind, it's nothing."

Shang Wu had some doubts. With Lu Rang's keen sense, he could very well guess that her brother's imprisonment was related to Zhou Yanci by observing the interactions between Li Chengzhang and Zhou Yanci.

However, she didn't want anyone else to know.

If Lu Rang knows, it's best to pretend you don't, and she should also pretend she doesn't know Lu Rang knows.
