Lu Rang stepped forward and put his arm around Shang Wu's shoulder.
His voice was colder than Shang Wu's, carrying a sharp edge devoid of emotion.
"See you in court. Also, you and the child in your belly have absolutely nothing to do with me, Lu Rang. If you dare to harass A-Wu again, I will make you pay a price that is more painful than going to jail."
After saying that, he didn't look at her again, and turned to leave with Shang Wu in his arms.
The two left decisively.
Lin Ruan slumped in the chair like a lump of mud.
The documents were scattered all over the floor.
She watched the couple walk away hand in hand.
The man was tall and imposing, the woman aloof and elegant; they were such a perfect match, yet so striking.
On what grounds?
Why is Shang Wu always so lucky?
Why is it that she killed her cousin and can still live a carefree life, and still receive Lu Rang's complete trust and protection?
And yet, I have to end up like this?
no!
She can't just give up like this!
Lin Ruan suddenly grabbed her phone.
My fingers trembled with excitement and fear.
She quickly searched for a number.
That was the one she originally didn't plan to use, saving it as a last resort.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and a slightly lazy male voice came from the other end.
"Hello?"
"Young Master Wang..."
Lin Ruan's voice was choked with sobs.
She tried her best to make herself sound weak and pitiful.
“It’s me, Lin Ruan.”
"oh?"
Wang Yun's voice carried a hint of amusement, "Assistant Lin, is something the matter?"
"Young Master Wang, save me!"
Lin Ruan said eagerly.
"I was set up by Shang Wu and Lu Rang!"
"They're trying to harm me! They're going to send me to jail!"
Wang Yun chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, seemingly unsurprised.
"Assistant Lin, of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke Lu Rang?"
"His woman, Shang Wu, is no pushover either. I told you long ago, playing with fire will get you burned."
"Young Master Wang!" Lin Ruan interrupted his gloating, her tone becoming urgent, "You can't abandon me! I'm pregnant..."
She gritted her teeth and threw out her biggest bet.
"I might be carrying your child!"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Wang Yun's voice turned serious, "Lin Ruan, you can't just say things like that."
"I'm not making this up!"
Lin Ruan gripped her phone tightly, as if it were her last lifeline.
"Do the math yourself! During that time, I only spent time with you..."
She sniffled, her voice trembling with tears, "Young Master Wang, I know I was being immature a few days ago and may have made you angry, but I've always had you in my heart, really."
"I approached Lu Rang initially just to spite you and make you notice me more. I know I'm not good enough for you, and I never thought about having any status or title. But now the child is innocent!"
"Can you just stand by and watch your child go to jail before he's even born?"
Lin Ruan choked up, her voice so soft it could melt water, "Only you can save me now. Shang Wu is too cruel; she's pushing me to my death!"
"This woman is just relying on Lu Rang's power and doesn't respect anyone! Young Master Wang, please help me, and also help our child. I beg you."
She sobbed softly, waiting for Wang Yun's response.
Wang Yun remained silent on the other end of the line, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
He didn't believe everything Lin Ruan said.
He knew better than anyone that this woman was cunning and scheming.
But what if the child in her belly really is his...?
It's not a good look for a member of the Wang family to be living away from home, and for him to have a mother who's in jail.
More importantly, there is Shangwu.
That cold, aloof woman.
He had met Shang Wu once before, and her aloof and arrogant demeanor had indeed stirred something within him.
The young master of the Yu family protected him closely, and he never found an opportunity.
This might be an opportunity to not only resolve the troublesome Lin Ruan, but also perhaps take the chance to taste the flavor of the young master Yu's fiancée.
Thinking of this, a smile of interest appeared on his lips.
"Alright."
Wang Yun spoke, his tone softening somewhat.
"Don't cry. I know what happened. I'll figure something out. Just follow the procedures and don't try to tough it out. Wait for my message."
Lin Ruan felt relieved upon hearing this.
You made the right bet.
Wang Yun still cares after all!
Whether it's out of consideration for potential offspring or his pride as a man, he won't completely stand idly by!
"Thank you, Young Master Wang!"
She quickly thanked him, her voice filled with gratitude.
"I knew you had feelings for me..."
"Alright," Wang Yun interrupted her performance, "I'll contact you later."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Lin Ruan slowly put down her phone, and the weakness and pitifulness on her face vanished instantly.
Instead, a sinister smile appeared.
Shangwu, Lu Rang.
Do you think you've won?
This is just the beginning.
Lin Ruan straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and waited for the approaching police.
...
On the other side.
Lu Rang and Shang Wu returned to the Yu family's old house.
Lu Zheng was practicing calligraphy in his study when he saw them return together. His expression was calm, so he knew that the matter had been resolved.
"dad."
Lu Rang began by briefly and clearly recounting the general course of events.
After listening, Lu Zheng put down his brush and looked at Shang Wu with approval.
"Well done, calm and meticulous."
"Courageous and insightful."
He rarely used such positive words, saying, "A daughter-in-law of the Lu family should have this kind of demeanor and ability."
