Chapter 37 Human hearts are not as good as dogs



Shang Wu picked up the red wine on the table, poured it into a wine glass, and turned to raise it to Ji Yu.

"I don't want to say anything more to you, Ji Yu. Let this glass mark the end of our past. From now on, enjoy your fate."

Ji Yu opened her mouth to speak, when a glass of red wine was splashed in her face.

She was caught off guard and splashed all over her face, eyes, nostrils and mouth, choking and coughing.

Ji Yu's eyes stung terribly.

She couldn't open her eyes, but she heard Shang Wu's words echo clearly in her ears, like thunder.

"You were able to meet Zhou Yanci and get into Chengzhou because of me. You should really taste this red wine. The first time you drank it was when I stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Fayang Red wine from my dad to celebrate your eighteenth birthday. After that, you will never be qualified to drink it again, and you will never be my friend Shang Wu again."

Bang!

The wine glass shattered on the ground.

"Take her with you."

Shang Wu didn't look at Ji Yu again. As she turned to go upstairs, she gripped the railing tightly to suppress the urge to attack.

That's not enough.

She wished she could kill Ji Yu with her own hands.

But Zhou Yanci's people are watching, and they will tell Zhou Yanci everything that happened today, down to the smallest detail.

Shang Wu had no way to ask the merchant anything, not even a single word.

No matter how crazy Ji Yu was just now, she never mentioned the merchant case.

She's so tight-lipped; I don't know how Zhou Yanci threatened her.

Shang Wu was in a terrible mood. She slammed the door and went into her room to calm herself down.

She calmed herself down for a moment and then picked up her phone.

Someone needs to keep an eye on Ji Yu.

She feared that Zhou Yanci would use some means to completely silence Ji Yu and make her disappear from Lincheng.

Shang Wu quickly hired a detective.

The price offered was very high.

They were instructed to keep an eye on Ji Yu's movements and report back constantly.

None of these people who harm businesses will escape justice.

…

Soon, the two bodyguards who were escorting Ji Yu back arrived at Chengzhou Group and handed her a recording pen.

On Zhou Yanci's desk, there was also a document.

It is a contract for approving the establishment of a branch office.

He picked up the recorder, turned it around, and looked at the contract.

Xiao Dong immediately reminded him, "The contract hasn't been signed yet, Mr. Zhou. Didn't you already convince the shareholders to open a branch company?"

"The content of this recording will determine whether or not I should sign the contract."

Zhou Yanci smiled slightly and pressed the play button.

After listening to the confrontation between the two women, he rubbed his ears, put down the recorder, and closed his eyes to rest.

Xiao Dong and his two bodyguards looked at each other, wondering what he meant.

Time passed second by second.

For a full thirty minutes, Zhou Yanci listened to the confrontation twice more before finally picking up his pen and signing the document with peace of mind.

"Have Shang Wu come to sign the contract tomorrow."

Xiao Dong nodded and then asked, "What about Ji Yu?"

"Ji Yu..."

Zhou Yanci narrowed her eyes: "I promised her that as long as she doesn't say anything she shouldn't, I'll let her be safe."

He paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's sue her and send her to jail. She'll be safe and sound in prison, right?"

Xiao Dong nodded knowingly and withdrew with his bodyguards.

The lights outside were still dazzling.

Looking at the tall buildings, a complex emotion appeared in Zhou Yanci's usually indifferent eyes.

While listening to the recording, he suddenly wished that Shang Wu would never know the truth.

This is a dangerous idea.

This indicates that he cares about Shangwu.

Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes and took out his phone to call Chen Mian.

"Come to the CEO's office and keep me company."

He paused, then added, "Bring a condom and a change of pajamas; you'll need them tonight."

Late at night, the CEO's office was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Before the floor-to-ceiling window, entangled figures could be faintly seen.

Shang Wu didn't sleep all night, repeatedly thinking about what had happened from the press conference until now. Her brain was working at high speed until she was covered in cold sweat and suffered from neurasthenia.

Even so, she tried to cheer herself up and bought a Chinese breakfast and an iced Americano before heading to Dingfeng Law Firm.

As soon as the Lexus stopped, Shang Wu immediately went to greet it, and before anyone could get out, he raised his hands full of things.

"Soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, sandwiches, sea salt croissants, iced Americanos—whatever Attorney Lu likes, I have it all!"

As she finished speaking, Shang Wu smiled and looked up, seeing the calm Lu Rang and the very agitated stranger beside him.

In an awkward moment, Yan Yue reached out and picked out the steamed buns and soy milk.

How much do these cost?

Shang Wu was taken aback for a moment: "I think it's five yuan."

"Then I'll scan the code for you."

Yan Yue took out his phone, then looked up sharply, scrutinizing her with great curiosity: "Miss Shang, after resigning, you switched to selling breakfast? The job content is so different, can you adapt?"

Shang Wu pointed to herself, trying to explain: "No, I came to bring breakfast to Attorney Lu."

Yan Yue's smile grew even more gossipy.

Lu Rang suddenly blocked his way: "Aren't you going back?"

"...They're chatting with Miss Shang right now, they can go back later."

Lu Rang ignored him and reached out to Shang Wu.

"Iced Americano".

Shang Wu delivered the coffee, then carried the remaining two fried dough sticks and a bag of bread, her gaze sincere.

"Attorney Lu, I've been waiting for you all night. Have you made up your mind yet?"

Yan Yue's eyes widened, his gossip-loving spirit burning brightly.

Lu Rang smiled slightly and said, word by word, "I am unwilling."

After saying that, he went into the law firm without looking back.
