Meanwhile, at home.
Under Lu You's gentle comfort, Shang Wu did indeed fall asleep early.
The phone was placed on the bedside table on silent mode, the screen lit up and then went dark without being noticed.
Seeing that Shang Wu was fast asleep, Lu You quietly closed the door and lay down on the sofa in the living room so that she could take care of her at any time.
She also sent Lu Rang a message, asking when the dinner party would end.
Half an hour later, Lu Rang had not replied.
Lu You dialed the number, but it rang for a long time without being answered.
"Maybe it was too noisy and they didn't hear it."
As Lu You thought about it, she gradually felt sleepy, so she simply put down her phone and fell asleep on the sofa.
The next morning.
When Shang Wu woke up, she felt much better.
She stepped out of her bedroom and found the house quiet.
Only Lu You was curled up on the living room sofa, covered with a thin blanket.
But Lu Rang was nowhere to be seen.
Shang Wu was a little puzzled. She glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.
Why aren't you home yet after having a dinner party this late?
She picked up her phone and saw the message Lu Rang had sent her last night.
It was sent around 10 PM.
It's already the next morning.
He hasn't come back yet.
Shang Wu frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it.
Perhaps they are resting at the law firm, or perhaps they have other urgent business.
She didn't want to disturb Lu You's rest, so she prepared to go back to her room and lie down for a while longer.
Just as I turned around, my phone suddenly rang sharply.
The caller ID showed Lu Rang.
Shang Wu answered immediately, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of worry: "Where are you? Why haven't you gone home?"
However, what came from the other end of the phone was a strange and clear female voice.
"Hello? Is this Ms. Shang Wu?"
Shang Wu's heart sank: "I am, who are you?"
The woman's voice on the other end sounded somewhat troubled and anxious.
"Hello, I'm the law firm's assistant, my surname is Lin. Here's the thing, Attorney Lu drank too much last night and is still sleeping at my house."
Shang Wu's breath hitched for a moment.
Was the female assistant asleep and not awake?
Impossible, Lu Rang is clearly allergic to alcohol.
The female assistant's voice continued, tinged with apology.
“I saw that your number is an emergency contact on Lu Lu’s phone. I have to go to work at nine o’clock, so I really can’t stay here to take care of him. Do you think it would be convenient for you to come and pick him up?”
Shang Wu pursed her lips.
He didn't return home all night, got so drunk he was unconscious, and slept at the other person's house.
She still needs to pick her up.
What exactly is going on?
Is Lu Rang not allergic to alcohol? Or is he just having no symptoms after taking medication?
Shang Wu's knuckles turned white as she gripped her phone.
Lu You had been woken up by the phone call long ago. Still half-asleep, she sat up, rubbing her eyes, and saw Shang Wu standing there, her face frighteningly pale.
"Ah Wu? Whose call is that?" Lu You immediately sensed something was wrong and got up to go over.
Shang Wu slowly put down her phone, her voice dry and tinged with disbelief and absurdity.
"Lu Rang went out for dinner and drinks with a female assistant last night and didn't come home all night. He's currently sleeping at that woman's house and hasn't woken up yet."
"That woman used his phone to ask me to pick him up."
Lu You's eyes widened instantly, and her anger flared up immediately.
"Isn't Lu Rang allergic to alcohol? He took medicine, right? Well, he risked his life to get drunk, and he still dares to be with a woman instead of going home?" She snatched Shang Wu's phone, glanced at the call log, and instantly became furious.
"What's the address? Did that woman give you the address?"
Shang Wu shook her head wearily, feeling a wave of dizziness and a dull ache in her lower abdomen.
She leaned on the sofa and said, "Sister You, I'm a little tired. I want to lie down for a while longer."
Deep down, Shang Wu didn't really believe that Lu Rang would betray her.
However, she was inevitably affected emotionally, and her body had not yet recovered, leaving her feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
She doesn't want to care about anything or ask anything right now.
Looking at Shang Wu's vulnerable state, Lu You felt both heartache and anger.
She suppressed her anger and helped Shangwu back to bed.
"Never mind that, get some rest. I'll go bring that bastard back!"
She tucked Shang Wu in, watched her close her eyes, and then quietly left the room.
Lu You immediately took out her phone and dialed back the number from Shang Wu's call log.
The call was answered quickly; it was the same woman's voice.
Lu You didn't mince words and coldly demanded the address.
The other party seemed intimidated by her imposing manner and obediently gave the address of a high-end apartment.
Lu You wrote down the address, grabbed her car keys without saying a word, and rushed out the door.
Inside the apartment.
Lu You knocked hard on the door according to the address.
The person who opened the door was a young woman with a pretty face and a slender figure, dressed in home clothes.
She looks no more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and is indeed very beautiful.
Seeing Lu You's pale face outside the door, the woman paused for a moment: "You are...?"
Lu You ignored her completely, pushed her aside, and barged inside.
Her gaze swept across the living room, finally settling on the half-open door to the master bedroom.
Lu Rang strode over and pushed the door open!
Lu Rang lay on the large bed in the bedroom, his suit jacket casually tossed aside, his tie loose, and his brows furrowed.
He seemed to be sleeping very soundly, completely unaware of everything happening around him.
A faint smell of alcohol still lingered in the air.
The female assistant, on the other hand, followed behind Lu You somewhat helplessly.
Lu You turned around, her gaze like a knife as she shot at her female assistant, her tone icy:
"Explain yourself, what happened?"
