Enraged, Chenmian tried to snatch it back: "Give it back to me!"
Shang Wu raised her arm to avoid her hand and said coldly, "You should have known that I was going easy on you before I gave him Zhou Yanci's medical report."
Chenmian was taken aback.
Shang Wu lowered her eyes and scrolled through the screen, looking up at her and Liu Ziye's past dates at bars, which were quite scandalous.
"In the end, not only did you not behave yourself, you also took pictures of me and forced me to find out who the father of my child is."
"Now? Are you satisfied?"
Shang Wu raised her eyelids, her cold and mocking gaze falling on Shen Mian.
Shenmian tensed up and swallowed hard. "I didn't mean to expose those photos. I just wanted to control you and prevent you from revealing the child's secret!"
Shang Wu held her phone and snorted softly, "These photos can't control me. To put it bluntly, Chen Mian, even if I really had something going on with Lu Rang, do you think Zhou Yanci would immediately break up with me?"
She curled her lips into a cold smile: "Don't forget, I'm the one holding Chengzhou together now. If he wants to regain control of the company, he has to win me over. Even if he's just pretending, he has to act like he can't live without me and marry me."
Chenmian gritted her teeth, stubbornly refusing to be suppressed by her.
She forced herself to remain calm, putting on an air of nonchalance: "Are you kidding me? If you really didn't care, would you have brought Liu Ziye here to threaten me?"
"Do you think I care about Zhou Yanci's reaction?"
Shang Wu handed over the phone.
The subconscious response during sleep.
Shang Wu loosened his grip, and the phone fell to the ground.
“You…” Chenmian’s face turned pale with anger.
Shang Wu's eyes sharpened, and she said, word by word, "I only care about Lu Rang's reputation. Chen Mian, if you dare to drag him into this, you'll have to pay the price."
Chenmian stared at her in astonishment and blurted out, "You actually really like that lawyer?"
Shang Wu's eyes darkened slightly: "So what? Keep your hands to yourself. If you dare to release those photos, your child's secret will be out of reach. Liu Ziye, listen to me, you can tell Zhou Yanci about all the messy things you did in the bar anytime. You'd better think it over!"
She opened the bathroom door and went out, a handkerchief falling to the ground.
The footsteps outside gradually faded away. Chenmian stared intently at the handkerchief that had fallen from Shangwu's pocket, his eyes instantly turning sinister.
She picked up her phone, then walked over and pinched the handkerchief.
Light and cool.
Shangwu has sensitive skin, so she always uses silk handkerchiefs like these, which she carries with her at all times and never leaves behind.
As Chenmian crumpled the handkerchief into a ball, she could still smell a faint, delicate fragrance belonging to Shangwu.
"This is your own doing, Shang Wu."
A strange smile curled at the corners of her lips, and her eyes gleamed with an odd light.
"Just wait, I'll show the Zhou family your true colors. When that time comes, will you still dare to say that Zhou Yanci is completely obedient to you?"
She murmured to herself, stuffed the handkerchief into her pocket, and walked out.
Inside the private room, Zhou Yanci repeatedly tried to subtly inquire about Chen Mian's visit to the bar, but Liu Ziye deflected her questions each time.
The more Liu Ziye tried to change the subject and avoid the topic, the more Zhou Yanci sensed that something was amiss.
Shang Wu pushed the door open and saw Zhou Yanci's preoccupied expression, which she found amusing.
What are you talking about?
Zhou Yanci snapped out of her reverie, her brow furrowing slightly. "Nothing. Where's Chenmian?"
"I'm here."
Shenmian followed Shang Wu back, clutching her stomach, looking somewhat unwell: "Aci, I'm not feeling well, can you take me home?"
Zhou Yanci immediately stood up: "What happened? Did you have a miscarriage?"
“It should be…” Shen Mian bit her lip and glanced at Shang Wu, “After talking with Miss Shang in the restroom, I felt uncomfortable all over.”
Shang Wu looked at her coldly: "Then Miss Shen should stop having dinner with us in the future. Maybe the baby in your belly is incompatible with me."
Seeing that she had changed her attitude from the beginning, Zhou Yanci felt something was wrong, but she didn't have time to think about it in detail.
He helped Chenmian up and said to Shang Wu, "I'll take her back first and find a hospital to check on her."
"Go."
Shang Wu sat at the table.
Zhou Yanci nodded to Liu Ziye: "Then I'll be going now."
"Goodbye and don't bother seeing me off." Liu Ziye smiled meaningfully.
Chenmian glanced at him, gritted her teeth, and leaned on Zhou Yanci to leave.
After everyone left, Liu Ziye immediately stopped smiling, looked at Shang Wu and clicked his tongue twice: "I will not arrange a marriage in the future."
Shang Wu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "What do you mean?"
Liu Ziye curled his lips: "You can tolerate all this just to marry Zhou Yanci, and you can even coexist peacefully with the pregnant mistress. I admire you. The world of the wealthy is a deep and chaotic place. I've truly witnessed it firsthand."
Shang Wu put down her teacup, stood up, grabbed her bag, and said irritably, "Let's go, stop talking so much nonsense."
"Let's go? We haven't even touched the food on this table yet." Liu Ziye rubbed his rumbling stomach.
Shang Wu was speechless and called the waiter to pack up the dishes Liu Ziye wanted to eat.
As I left the restaurant, a gust of cold wind swept over me.
Shang Wu froze, then put her hands in her coat pockets to warm them.
"You didn't say what you shouldn't have said, did you?"
Liu Ziye led her to the sports car and opened the car door: "I didn't say anything. Don't worry, I guarantee that Zhou Yanci will be suspicious but unable to find any clues."
Shang Wu smiled with satisfaction and was about to sit down when a car headlight swept over from directly in front.
She instinctively turned her head to avoid the bright light, and a sports car barely grazed Liu Ziye's car before coming to a stop.
Liu Ziye gasped: "Holy crap! A Lamborghini Reventon?"
Compared to his basic Lamborghini, it looks infinitely cooler.
Shang Wu squinted at him.
In the car, Lu Rang gripped the steering wheel with his well-defined knuckles, leaned back slightly, and casually glanced at Liu Ziye with his deep eyes before nodding slightly to Shang Wu.
"Get in the car."
