Lu Rang clenched his fists.
Ah Wu.
He recalled Shang Wu's cold and desperate gaze from last night.
A suffocating pain shot through my chest.
He stared intently at Lin Ruan.
Trying to find a trace of lying on her face.
But she was too calm.
That greed driven by money actually adds a distorted credibility.
If she fabricates feelings, he can expose her immediately.
But she said it was only for the money.
Lu forced himself to calm down.
He sat back in his chair, his voice low and dangerous.
How can you prove that we were together that night?
Lin Ruan seemed to have been prepared for this.
"That night you were wearing a dark gray shirt and a silver striped tie, and you left at my apartment."
Do you need me to return it to you?
Lu Rang's heart sank.
He really couldn't find that shirt.
The day after the celebration banquet, he went directly to the law firm wearing a spare suit because of a hangover headache.
I forgot to ask about the shirt's whereabouts later.
Could it be...?
No, absolutely not.
This must be a trap she meticulously planned!
"A shirt doesn't prove anything."
Lin Ruan shrugged.
"Then let's wait three months."
"I have plenty of patience."
Her gaze swept over Lu Rang's tense face.
"I just don't know if Miss Shang has it."
This sentence became the final straw that broke Lu Rang's back.
He must resolve this matter immediately.
We cannot allow A-Wu to suffer any more harm or suspicion.
Even if it's done in the most direct and unsightly way.
He grabbed the car keys.
"You, come with me."
Lin Ruan raised an eyebrow.
Where to?
Lu Rang's voice was as cold as ice.
"The Yu family."
"Make things clear in front of everyone."
"If you dare to lie, I'll make you pay the price."
A barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in Lin Ruan's eyes.
But it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.
"OK."
"Perfect, let Mr. Lu be the judge."
The car sped along, heading towards the Yu family's old residence.
Lu Rang's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
Lin Ruan looked out the window, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips.
We arrived at the old house.
Lu Rang led Lin Ruan directly into the living room.
Lu Zheng was sitting in the main seat reading the newspaper.
He frowned immediately when he saw his son bring in a strange woman.
"Lu Rang, what's going on?"
Before Lu Rang could speak, Lin Ruan stepped forward first.
She bowed slightly to Lu Zheng, her attitude seemingly respectful, but in reality, it was provocative.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"My name is Lin Ruan."
"Yes...it's one of Attorney Lu's staff members."
She paused deliberately, then placed her hand on her lower abdomen again.
"I'm here today to resolve some personal issues."
Lu Zheng was extremely shrewd. His sharp gaze swept over her movements and then looked at his son, whose face was pale.
I had already guessed most of it.
He put down the newspaper, his voice authoritative without being angry.
"What private matter requires bringing it into our home?"
Lin Ruan raised her head and looked directly at Lu Zheng.
"I am pregnant."
She spoke with perfect clarity.
The living room fell into a deathly silence.
Lu Zheng's face darkened.
He looked at Lu Rang with piercing eyes.
"Lu Rang!"
"Is this really true?!"
Lu Rang stood ramrod straight, meeting his father's scrutinizing gaze.
His eyes held an unprecedented openness and determination.
"Absolutely impossible!
"I, Lu Rang, swear to God that I have never done anything to wrong A-Wu!"
"Please believe me!"
His voice carried the pain of being wronged, but also an undeniable firmness.
Lu Zheng stared at his son.
There is no better son than a father.
He saw innocence and anger in Lu Rang's eyes.
But this matter is too tricky.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate.
"Thump."
A slight noise came from the second floor.
The three of them looked up at the same time.
Shang Wu was standing at the top of the stairs without anyone noticing.
She was wearing plain-colored loungewear, and her face was as pale as paper.
Obviously.
She heard everything that was being said downstairs.
Lu Rang's heart jumped into his throat.
“Awu…”
He was eager to step forward and explain.
Shang Wu's gaze swept over him indifferently.
There was no anger, no sadness.
There was only a bottomless weariness and coldness.
Her gaze finally settled on Lin Ruan's face, which wore a provocative smile.
Then he looked at Lu Rang, who looked anxious.
The entire space was so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat.
Shang Wu finally spoke.
The sound was very soft, yet it was like a cold knife, cutting through the air.
She looked at Lu Rang and said, word by word:
"Take her with you."
"disappear."
"immediately."
"Disappear from my sight."
After saying that.
She no longer looks at anyone.
Turn around.
A loud bang.
The door was slammed shut.
That disgusting farce, along with that man who kept professing his love for her but brought her endless trouble.
It was completely shut out.
Lu Rang stood frozen in place.
Looking at the tightly closed door.
My heart is breaking.
He knew.
This time, the rift has widened.
It is deeper and more difficult to undo than ever before.
And Lin Ruan's lips.
The moment that door closed.
