"You, go back first." Shang Wu blinked awkwardly, her eyes pleading.
Lu Rang remained silent, took the documents, and turned to leave.
The person left, but was clearly angry.
Helpless, Shang Wu turned around and met Zhou Yanci's probing eyes.
“A-Wu”.
Zhou Yanci smiled faintly, her gaze surprisingly gentle: "Are you sure he's just an ordinary lawyer who had no prior dealings with you and has no other intentions towards you?"
No, why would you ask that?
Shang Wu cleaned up the water stains on the ground and chuckled as she complained, "But I can understand. This lawyer Lu is known for his eccentric personality at Dingfeng. People always beg him to take cases, so he probably hasn't suffered any grievances."
"What a hypocrite! What are you pretending for?"
Zhou Yanci tugged at his tie unhappily, then smiled again when he noticed the gift box on the sofa.
"Awu, this is a gift for you. Would you like to open it and take a look?"
Shang Wu's eyes flashed as she recalled what Chen Mian had said.
She asked calmly, "Is this the necklace I wanted?"
Zhou Yanci's smile grew even more mysterious: "Why don't you open it and see for yourself?"
Shang Wu took it, opened it, and her gaze sharpened slightly.
It's a Perma necklace, but not the Earth Queen design. It's a limited edition released this fall, so it's a slightly lower tier.
Zhou Yanci smiled wryly: "There's nothing I can do. I didn't manage to snag that Earth Queen; someone else bought it."
"Is that so?" Shang Wu curled her lips in a mocking smile.
Zhou Yanci's eyes flickered, and she immediately picked up the necklace to help her put it on: "However, this one is also a limited edition, and it's quite hard to buy. I only managed to get you an internal purchase qualification through a friend. It's not much worse than the Earth Queen, and it's very beautiful too."
Listening to his desperate attempts to comfort her, Shang Wu found it even more laughable.
She tugged at the cool necklace with her fingertips and asked Zhou Yanci, "Is it really beautiful?"
"Of course, my Ah Wu is the most beautiful in the world. Wearing this necklace, she'll be even more stunning!"
When Zhou Yanci said this, her tone carried a rare hint of genuine seriousness.
Shang Wu chuckled softly, then added a shy emoji.
Her phone vibrated and she picked it up to see the photos Chenmian had sent her.
It is the Earth Queen Necklace.
The ruby shone brightly, seemingly like a slumbering, triumphant smile, silently conveying three words: I won.
Shang Wu's eyes turned cold, and she quickly concealed all her emotions when she looked up.
"Thank you, it's really beautiful."
Zhou Yanci sighed softly, "When did you become so polite to me? No need to say thank you."
Shang Wu smiled faintly, then changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that Ji Yu has been sent to prison by you? Is she... just locked up inside like this, unable to come out?"
"I have plenty of ways to keep her inside." Zhou Yanci sneered. "She hurt you, so why should she get out unscathed? Awu, let her stay inside and atone for betraying your ten years of friendship!"
Shang Wu's gaze fell on Zhou Yanci's face.
Filled with indignation, I stood up for what was right.
It has always been Zhou Yanci putting on a show in front of her.
It seems that Zhou Yanci brought Ji Yu out and kept her under control because she was afraid that Ji Yu would meet her and say something she shouldn't.
However, this is too good for Ji Yu.
Shang Wu sighed softly, took out her phone, flipped out a photo, and handed it to Zhou Yanci.
It's a photo of Zhou Yanci and Shen Mian having a meal. The photo is taken from the perspective of the people sitting next to them, and the bag that Ji Yu often carries is visible next to them.
"I received this picture from an anonymous email address today. It should be Ji Yu. What does she mean by this?"
Shang Wu's eyes darkened slightly, and she said aggrievedly, "Also, when did you eat with Shen Mian without telling me?"
Zhou Yanci froze, and faced with her sharp gaze, she was so flustered that she couldn't speak.
