Shang Wu's gaze was as calm as a lake as she stared at Zhou Yanci for two seconds: "I don't understand what you mean."
She turned to look at Xiao Dong, and asked blankly, "Can you understand me?"
Xiao Dong stood at attention and shook his head seriously: "I don't understand. It seems Mr. Zhou has damaged his brain and has started talking nonsense."
Shang Wu nodded in agreement: "Then let's call the doctor over to take a look."
Stop pretending!
Zhou Yanci rebuked in a low voice, his eyes burning with anger.
He was breathing rapidly, and after his complexion calmed down, he became pale and weak.
He gritted his teeth: "Ever since I sent your father's doctor to treat him, he has been feeling weak and nauseous, and his hands are shaking so badly that he can't hold anything. His symptoms are exactly the same as your father's."
“My bodyguard also saw the doctor talking to you; the two of you talked alone in the car for a few minutes.”
"You know, don't you?"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes. The window curtains fluttered, a gentle breeze swept by, and a few stray hairs fell across her forehead.
She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, completely revealing the coldness on her face.
"What do I know?"
She asked softly, "Did you know that you had the caregiver put something in my father's medicine every day?"
Zhou Yanci's expression changed drastically, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Isn't that right? Then why did you say I drugged you, and that your symptoms were the same as my father's?"
Shang Wu slowly approached him, her slender fingers gripping a half-full glass of water as she handed it to him.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
A hint of guilt and panic flashed in Zhou Yanci's eyes.
He couldn't continue speaking.
They all knew what he was doing, but they couldn't bring it up in public.
Otherwise, even if they don't get married, they will definitely have a complete falling out.
He hadn't yet acquired the company and assets, nor had he yet brought Shang Wu under the Zhou family's control, and he hadn't properly taught her a lesson for her affair with the lawyer.
We can't reveal our hand now.
Zhou Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed up and down before she resumed her usual gentle demeanor.
He sighed softly, "I was confused just now, talking in my sleep. How could I hurt Uncle? He'll be my father-in-law in the future."
To show his loyalty, Zhou Yanci eagerly took the glass of water and drank two mouthfuls.
Shang Wu smiled.
When Zhou Yanci handed her the empty water glass, she didn't take it. Instead, she moved her hand slightly away and reached directly for Zhou Yanci's wrist, gripping it tightly.
Zhou Yanci was taken aback.
"Yes, we'll be family from now on. Yanci, you absolutely mustn't hurt my father. I hate it when anyone hurts my family. If anyone dares to do that—"
Shang Wu's fingernails dug into Zhou Yanci's skin. "Then he will really suffer a fate worse than death."
Zhou Yanci winced in pain, her eyes darting around: "You're threatening me."
"How could that be?"
Shang Wu let go of her hand and took the water glass back. "I was just telling you that my bottom line is my family. We're getting married soon, and we should be honest with each other."
Zhou Yanci stared at Shang Wu and smiled: "Okay, I definitely will."
"You'll be hosting the banquet the day after tomorrow with me. The doctor will be here to treat you later. You don't have any objections, do you?" Shang Wu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath: "No objection, I'll listen to you."
Shang Wu adjusted her watch without looking up: "I have a meeting in half an hour, you go to sleep."
She had just turned around and walked to the door when she heard a knock on the door downstairs.
Xiao Dong immediately went downstairs.
Shang Wu then closed the door without looking back.
Downstairs, someone was anxiously banging on the door.
"Coming, coming! Who is it?"
Xiao Dong opened the door, thinking it was the doctor, but unexpectedly it was Zhou's mother.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Madam."
"Where's my son? Is he here?"
After saying that, Zhou's mother was about to rush in.
Shang Wu stepped forward and blocked Zhou's mother.
"Madam, Yanci is not feeling well and needs to rest."
Zhou's mother's face turned ashen, and she sneered, "Isn't his discomfort all because of you? Why didn't you let him rest properly in the hospital, instead of making him go through all this trouble!"
A hint of impatience flashed in Shang Wu's eyes: "Madam is wronged. I didn't torment him. Someone deliberately knocked him unconscious and took him away. It's probably someone he had enemies in the business world."
"The company is all yours now, so if anyone's seeking revenge, it'll be you, right? Shang Wu, tell me, what exactly do you mean now? Do you still want to be with Yan Ci?"
Zhou's mother stared intently at her, feeling extremely uncertain.
When her son's affair with Shen Mian was exposed and the company was in chaos, she felt something was wrong.
If a normal person suddenly finds out that their fiancé cheated on them with his ex-girlfriend and got her pregnant, wouldn't they be devastated and unable to recover?
But Shang Wu didn't even shed a tear, and took the opportunity to snatch the position of group president.
After that, their attitude towards the mother and son plummeted, and they lost all basic respect.
To keep Shang Wu in check, Zhou Yanci recently gave her all his assets.
Now they are being led by the nose. The company that the late Mr. Zhou founded does not have a single share in it. Is that reasonable?
The more Zhou's mother thought about it, the more panicked she became. She couldn't help but bring up the past again: "Shang Wu, don't forget when your family was in trouble, your brother went to jail, and you, as a member of the Shang family, were summoned for investigation. Who was it that got you out of jail and went against everyone's wishes to get engaged to you! You can't be ungrateful!"
Shang Wu looked at Zhou's mother, her gaze shifting downwards to settle on the diamond haute couture necklace around her neck.
This was a gift from Zhou Yanci to her mother on her birthday this year.
But every penny that Zhou Yanci was able to inherit from the company was earned by stepping on their merchants.
Even if Zhou's mother was unaware of the situation, as a beneficiary, she should still give back the benefits she had taken.
