She crossed her arms and sized the woman up and down with a disdainful look in her eyes.
The woman became alert and glared back with a similarly menacing look.
"What are you looking at? What's so interesting about it!"
Lu You snorted coldly, her red lips parted slightly, her tone lazy yet incredibly lethal.
"I thought you were some kind of celestial being descended to earth. With your appearance and makeup that looks like you've been thrown into a flour jar, what could have driven my brother to abandon his celestial fiancée at home and come here to molest you?"
"Is he blind or has his taste suddenly plummeted? Touching you? Does he think disinfectant isn't expensive enough?"
"You! You all..."
The woman was so enraged by Lu You's extremely insulting words that she trembled all over, her face turning red and white in turns, and her finger pointing at them was shaking.
Several employees nearby couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Lu You and Shang Wu, one offering a legal warning and the other a sharp tongue attack, worked together seamlessly to instantly defuse the other party's arrogance.
Seeing that she couldn't gain any advantage and would only become a laughingstock, and fearing she would actually be sued, the woman could only stomp her foot angrily, throw down the words "You just wait!", grab her bag, and slink away.
The farce has finally come to an end.
Wow! The boss lady is awesome! Sister You is so powerful!
Several young employees couldn't help but cheer and applaud quietly.
Lu Rang smiled slightly, reached out and pulled Shang Wu back to his side, looking down at her with tender eyes.
"Ah Wu, how are you so amazing?"
Shang Wu blushed and glared at him: "Tch, you should be more careful. You look like you attract all sorts of attention, no wonder people are bothering you."
Lu You shook her head with a smile: "Alright, alright, stop showing off your love. A-Rang, the feng shui of your law firm is terrible, it keeps attracting weirdos."
Lu Rang smiled helplessly before looking at Lu You and the suitcase next to her.
He asked in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Shang Wu then told him about Lu You leaving the Yu family.
Lu Rang wasn't particularly surprised after hearing this.
"Sister, you did the right thing. You should have left a long time ago."
He paused, looked around the law firm, and said, "What are your plans for the future? If you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, why don't you stay here? There are a few empty offices upstairs in the law firm. They have good lighting and soundproofing. I can set one up for you to use as a temporary studio and lounge. It will be convenient for your daily life."
However, as soon as Lu Rang finished speaking, another voice hurriedly interrupted.
"No need, no need! Why stay at the law firm? Sister You, come with me! I have a big villa in the west of the city, it's just sitting empty anyway, the environment is nice and quiet, it's definitely a hundred times more comfortable than the law firm!"
Cheng Zhou arrived at some point, clearly having learned that Lu You was there.
He was a little out of breath from running, his face filled with eagerness and anticipation as he looked at Lu You expectantly.
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Lu You.
Lu You looked at the two people in front of her who both wanted to help her.
She was silent for a few seconds, then, under everyone's gaze, she elegantly rolled her eyes.
She looked at Lu Rang and said decisively, "Thanks, but I appreciate your kind offer. I might consider borrowing your office for a while, but I don't want to stay here. You just caused a scene here, and I don't want to cause you any more trouble."
Then, she turned to Cheng Zhou, who was looking at her expectantly, her eyes filled with obvious disdain and warning.
"And you, Cheng Zhou, give up your idea of keeping a mistress in a gilded cage. I won't live in anyone else's villa."
She straightened her back, her gaze swept over them, and finally landed on Shang Wu. Her tone was firm and clear, with an unquestionable independent stance.
“I, Lu You, left the Yu family not to jump from one cage to another, nor to live off any man. I have hands, feet, and brains; I can earn money and find my own place to live.”
She took Shang Wu's arm, reverting to her usual carefree demeanor.
"Let's go, Awu, come with me to look at some houses. We can also check out the market and see what side hustles I can do next."
After saying that, she didn't give the two men a chance to speak again, and pulled Shang Wu, who couldn't help but chuckle, away from the law firm.
Lu Rang and Cheng Zhou looked at each other, one helpless and the other dejected.
Well, it seems this woman is serious about her path to independence.
Outside, Shang Wu frequently glanced at Lu You.
"Are you really not going to date Cheng Zhou? I thought you two would confess your feelings and get together."
Lu You pouted: "I've liked a lot of people, and I can't just settle down with every one I meet. Cheng Zhou is indeed different from other people, but I don't want to date him."
"Why? At least you like him now." Shang Wu asked, puzzled.
Lu You thought of Cheng Zhou's age.
"He's six years younger than me, does he even know what true love is?"
"I estimate he'll come to his senses in a while. I don't want to make any decisions while he's acting impulsively, otherwise we'll grow to hate each other and it will be too late to regret it."
Shang Wu was taken aback, feeling that Lu You's words made sense, but something about them didn't quite seem right.
This is way too much like the behavior of a businessman.
If we have to weigh the pros and cons like this, then there is no emotion in the world worth investing in.
