Shang Wu arranged for the detectives to be on standby at any time, then sat on the edge of the bed and rested with her eyes closed.
More than an hour later, the ward door was gently pushed open.
Shang Wu opened her eyes.
Lu Rang looked around but didn't see A Ying: "She's not here protecting you?"
His tone was quite dissatisfied.
Shang Wu was both amused and exasperated. "What's wrong with her? Can't she go home and rest? She works at the company during the day, and then has to come here to make compensation at night? Even if she were made of iron, she couldn't take it."
Without thinking much, Lu Rang went over and covered her with the blanket.
“I’m just worried that you might get hurt or that there will be no one by your side when you are in danger.”
Shang Wu pinched his fingers and played with them intermittently.
"I'm no longer in danger. Besides, if you're really worried about me, you can stay with me yourself. Why did you insist on personally picking up and dropping off Mr. Lu today?"
Lu Rang paused slightly: "Qian Jue and his men are no longer with the Yu family. There are no bodyguards to bring them here for the time being, so I went there in person."
"Yeah."
Seeing that he was clearly making excuses, Shang Wu didn't want to ask any more questions or investigate further.
She'll know everything, whether she should or shouldn't know.
Shang Wu leaned gently on Lu Rang's shoulder, finally able to close her eyes and rest peacefully for a while.
"Lu Rang, if you have anything on your mind, tell me. No matter what happens, I've decided on you. We'll face it together."
"Yes, I know." Lu Rang held her hand, and where she couldn't see, his eyes darkened slightly.
"I will not let you get hurt. You don't need to know anything. Do what you want. I will protect my personal safety."
Shang Wu smiled slightly and nodded, just as A Ying suddenly sent her a file.
It's an audio file.
Lu Rang glanced at it and subconsciously wanted to take out his phone to help her open it, but Shang Wu beat him to it.
Shang Wu gripped her phone tightly, casually exited the chat window, and pressed Shang Yun Shen's number.
"Oh right, I haven't called my brother yet to explain what's going to happen next."
Lu Rang looked down at her and nodded slightly.
Shang Wu felt a little relieved.
She knew that Lu Rang might have realized something was wrong.
It doesn't matter, she'll just delete the audio file after listening to it.
Lu Rang wanted to bear the perhaps heavy and cruel truth alone, but she wouldn't allow it; they had to share everything.
Shang Wu composed herself, dialed the number, and held the phone to her ear.
Soon, Shang Yunshen's deep voice came from the phone.
"Awu, what did Mom say to you today? She was acting really strange when she got home. She locked herself in her room and kept talking to herself. I don't know what she was saying, it was scary. Did she get traumatized?"
"No." Shang Wu said coldly, "She wasn't upset, she must have something on her mind. Anyway, don't worry about it. I'm asking you something else."
Shang Yunshen dried his hair with a towel on the other end of the phone.
Today, he was filming a scene of being abused, and he's only now washing off some of the dye that was disguised as blood.
I don't know what my mother and sister said, but I felt uneasy.
"Okay, go ahead and ask, what is it?"
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "Brother, you studied literature, specializing in French and researching languages and literature there. Now that you don't have the pressure of managing the Shang family business, what do you want to do?"
Lu Rang sat beside her and listened, then picked up an apple and peeled it for her.
His hands were long and beautiful, not as delicate as a girl's, but they looked very strong.
As Shang Wu watched, she felt that he wasn't processing apple peels, but rather sculpting a work of art.
Shang Yun Shen remained silent for a few seconds on the phone, clearly not expecting Shang Wu to suddenly ask him this.
He pondered for a moment: "I have indeed thought about it. If I weren't under pressure to inherit the company, I would most likely become a language teacher and see if any university language departments are hiring teaching assistants."
Shang Wu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you some money. If you can't find a job like this, you can use this money as start-up capital to open an educational institution and teach French. That would be a good option."
Shang Yun took a deep breath and resisted: "I don't want your money. This is money you worked hard to earn. Don't worry about us. I will take good care of Mom. This is my responsibility. I can support the family on my own."
"Listen to me, this money is what I earned designing jewelry myself. I don't need the money I originally earned from traveling. It's clean, so you won't feel guilty taking it," Shang Wu gently persuaded, insisting that he accept it.
She was so anxious that her face turned red, and suddenly she noticed an unhappy gaze looking at her from the side.
Shang Wu looked up and met Lu Rang's disapproving gaze, subconsciously calming her tone and emotions.
Lu Rang was satisfied and fed her a piece of apple.
Shang Yun Shen was even more helpless: "Really, there's no need. When you were injured and disfigured, I was busy at the Shang Group. I always thought your situation wouldn't be so bad. It's all my fault for not protecting you well. I really don't have the face to ask for your money. That's it, you don't need to say anything more."
The phone call ended, and Shang Wu couldn't utter the words she wanted to say before her mouth was suddenly stuffed with a piece of apple.
She chewed with her cheeks puffed out, staring at the call log on her phone screen.
My brother also has his own dignity and pride. He is different from others; he is not content with the status quo and does not simply enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Therefore, she hopes that Shang Yunshen can have a better and better life, and that he can stick to his dreams and make a career for himself.
Shang Wu slowly tightened her grip on the phone, her lips brushing against the Apple logo again.
She pouted at Lu Rang in protest: "I'm not eating it, it's too sweet, I don't like the taste."
