As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Lu Rang's gaze on her change.
Shang Wu met Lu Rang's heavy, deep eyes and realized that this was a topic that could not be touched.
She explained, "I didn't mean to spy on anything. I just saw some photos with the photos face down and I was curious, so I took them to look at them."
Shang Wu stood up. "I came here today to see why you've been missing for three days without contacting me. Since you're alright, I'll be leaving now."
Lu Rang remained seated without moving.
Shang Wu reached the doorway, then stopped and turned back to look at him.
"Everything is going well right now. If you can, please tell your family that if they are worried that you might be in any danger because of our family's case, it is completely unnecessary."
Lu Rang paused, then looked up at her.
“I will not let you do anything dangerous from now on, Lu Rang. I don’t care if it’s because of the case or anything else, I am very grateful for your help. Even if it’s for the sake of your family, I will protect you.”
Lu Rang's eyes flickered; instead of being moved or happy, he let out a soft snort.
"I see. So in your eyes, I'm not even qualified to fight alongside you?"
“That’s not what I meant. Going all in for the businesses is my mission and my responsibility, but you’re different. Essentially, you’re just someone who came here to help me…”
"So what?"
Lu Rang interrupted Shang Wu, stood up, and completely resumed his usual cold and mysterious demeanor.
His tone was domineering and brooked no argument: "This is my job. Taking your case and handling your family matters are also my mission. Shang Wu, don't think you can shoulder this alone."
Shang Wu pursed her lips several times, speechless, and finally left only a heartfelt thank you.
Lu Rang also has too many secrets.
His relationship with his family appears to be very complicated.
Lu Rang hasn't even sorted out his own affairs, yet he still has to help her with her case.
Shang Wu did feel a little guilty.
Her gaze darkened slightly as she drove home, when she received a call from A-Ying.
“The assets have all been taken care of for you. Mr. Zhou has already signed the transfer documents, but some documents still require his family’s household registration book.”
Shang Wu paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, she called Zhou Yanci and told him that the transfer of assets required a household registration book.
Zhou Yanci told her to go to the Zhou family to get it.
Shang Wu changed course and went to the Zhou family.
No sooner had she picked up her household registration booklet and prepared to leave than she bumped into Chenmian, who was rushing over.
When Chenmian saw the household registration book in her hand, her eyes changed instantly, and she pounced on it to snatch it from her.
Shang Wu felt completely bewildered and pushed her away.
"What are you doing, Chenmian? You're pregnant, and you're touching me like that. Do you want to hurt the baby?"
Enraged, Chenmian stepped forward and demanded, "What exactly is going on? Why did Zhou Yanci tell me that all his assets are with you! He doesn't have a single penny now!"
The money she's currently using to maintain her pregnancy is all provided by Zhou's mother.
When she received only 100,000 yuan, Chenmian was shocked.
Shenmian gritted her teeth: "You took all his assets! Shang Wu, give me and my child our money back!"
Shang Wu glanced at her coldly: "Don't rush. After our plan is completed, I will return Chengzhou Group to him. With the group's current booming business, he will be able to make a comeback very soon."
Chenmian was taken aback.
Shang Wu casually put her household registration booklet into her bag.
"Do you think Zhou Yanci is a fool? He's offering all his assets to prove his loyalty only because he can easily earn it back."
Chenmian was slightly taken aback, but quickly calmed down.
"Really?"
Shang Wu almost burst out laughing.
Of course it's fake.
How could she possibly return the company to Zhou Yanci?
However, it's true that this company will make a fortune in the future.
Shang Wu nodded: "Why would I lie to you? Don't you know how profitable boat trips are? Zhou Yanci's accumulated assets were all earned through boat trips."
"That's more like it."
Chenmian crossed her arms, still feeling somewhat resentful at the thought that all of Zhou Yanci's assets had gone to her.
“I’m warning you, since you don’t want to marry him, once you’ve taken the benefits, you should disappear completely and not show up again to affect our relationship. My child and I will have to go into the Zhou family.”
Shang Wu glanced at her, then at her stomach, and smiled.
"Actually, I'm very curious, is your child really Zhou Yanci's?"
One sentence brought the slumber to a complete standstill.
She looked at Shang Wu with apprehension.
"What do you mean? If the child isn't Zhou Yanci's, whose is it?"
"How would I know?" Shang Wu raised an eyebrow. "I was just asking casually. I'm leaving now."
She turned and left.
Chenmian stood still, her expression one of surprise and uncertainty.
