He lowered his head and placed his forehead in Shang Wu's palm.
Shang Wu felt disgusted and wanted to shake off Zhou Yanci's hand.
She forced herself to speak, knowing the answer already, and asked, "Yanci, why aren't you resting at night? What are you trying to do by coming here to say all this?"
Zhou Yanci revealed a complex expression that was difficult to describe.
He felt disgusted when he thought about the intimacy between Chenmian and Lu Wuwei.
A cold look of disdain flashed in Zhou Yanci's eyes as she looked at Shang Wu: "In this world, the person I love most is you. All the things I did before were my fault. After we get married, I won't hold it against you for getting too close to Lawyer Lu. You can do whatever you want, as long as you marry me in the end."
Shang Wu: "?"
She didn't hear wrong, did she?
Is Zhou Yanci certain that she and Lu Rang are having an affair, but choosing to tolerate it?
That's really interesting.
The things she arranged not only caused Zhou Yanci and Shen Mian to break up, but also lowered Zhou Yanci's bottom line.
"I never want to marry anyone but you."
Zhou Yanci's face was pale, and he kept repeating these words over and over.
Seeing that he seemed to have developed a psychological trauma from being disgusted, Shang Wu found it laughable.
He watched as the woman he thought he had under his control slept with other men in order to climb the social ladder and for personal gain.
It must be incredibly frustrating, right?
So when I look back at her, I feel that she is so much better than my ideal woman.
She could make money and follow him wholeheartedly, completely unaware that he was manipulating her.
Even though he could tell that she and Lu Rang were unusually close, he chose to pretend not to know.
There's also the issue of asthenospermia.
Shenmian has already told Zhou Yanci that she was the one who first discovered and concealed this matter.
But she never told Zhou Yanci the truth.
Shang Wu thought for a moment, then pushed Zhou Yanci away and met his eager and impatient gaze, asking softly, "Although I don't know what happened tonight, can we postpone our marriage registration?"
Zhou Yanci was taken aback: "Slow down?"
"I don't want to get our marriage certificate in this unpleasant state, nor do I want us to be so embarrassed and hurt, especially while you're investigating us, and then we have to get it done so hastily." Shang Wu looked at him seriously.
Zhou Yanci pursed her lips slightly, unsure of what to say.
Shang Wu looked at him and smiled again: "Tomorrow, the Investigation Bureau will come to ask you about the car. You won't have time to get our marriage certificate, so how about we postpone it a bit, okay?"
She gently comforted Zhou Yanci, and made her request in accordance with Zhou Yanci's current state of mind.
Shang Wu knew that even if Zhou Yanci disagreed in his heart, he would agree on the surface.
As expected, Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth and compromised.
He chuckled softly, "Okay, let's get married after I finish my investigation here, okay? I can't wait to become your husband."
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, a half-smile playing on her lips, as she deliberately brought up Chen Mian.
"And what about her? Chenmian, you always suspected there was something between me and Attorney Lu, but what is there between you and Chenmian now?"
Hearing her say that, Zhou Yanci's face gradually darkened.
He gritted his teeth and snorted softly, "There's nothing between me and Chenmian. Don't mention her again. It's completely over between us."
"Really? What happened?" Shang Wu asked casually.
Zhou Yanci shook her head: "You don't need to worry about that. She was never a proper lover anyway. In short, Awu, I would give my life to be with you."
Shang Wu replied dismissively, "You should go back first. I still have some things to take care of here."
Seeing that she remained indifferent but still agreed to marry him, Zhou Yanci was filled with anxiety, unable to figure out whether she still liked him or not.
He could only turn around and glance at Shang Wu with a sorrowful expression.
Before Zhou Yanci could even leave the house, she was already exhausted and fainted in her wheelchair.
With a concussion and all that emotional stress, it's no wonder Zhou Yanci couldn't pull through.
After he was pulled away by the bodyguards, Shang Wu's face darkened.
She took out her phone and called Xiao Dong.
Just in case, she had to keep Zhou Yanci calm.
Zhou Yanci always acts on a whim.
Not long ago, he was forcing her to get the marriage certificate together, but now he has suddenly changed his mind. Perhaps he was provoked by Chenmian's side, and he will soon be forcing her again.
Shang Wu called Xiao Dong and instructed, "The people from the Investigation Bureau might not arrive until noon or tomorrow afternoon. Before then, Zhou Yanci will have a chance to secretly get a marriage certificate with me. Come over immediately and put sleeping pills in his water so that he won't wake up for the whole day."
Xiao Dong agreed and did as she instructed.
Shang Wu put down her phone, slowly exhaled, and leaned back on the bed to think deeply.
It seems that everything is going very smoothly.
After dealing with everyone else who needed to be dealt with, only Zhou Yanci remained.
Once the Inspectorate has thoroughly investigated the merchant's case, Zhou Yanci will be set to go to jail; there's no escaping it.
Even those senior students who worked for him must have already confessed everything by now.
Shang Wu could hardly believe that things were going so smoothly.
Now that I think about it, it's time to get my brother out of prison.
Shang Wu picked up her phone again and called A Ying, asking her to submit all the materials she had to the court in preparation for an appeal.
No matter what, she had to make sure her brother came out safe and sound.
