Even after the jewelry business took off, Zhou's mother still didn't think highly of her.
Unfortunately, Zhou's mother always caused her trouble when Zhou Yanci needed her to run errands for the company and handle unexpected incidents.
One person played the "good cop" to make things difficult for her, while the other played the "bad cop" to protect her, thus getting her to help solve the company's problems.
Over the past few years, she has been completely manipulated by the acting tactics of Zhou's mother and Zhou Yanci.
Shang Wu pressed her temples and answered the phone.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with, Madam?"
Zhou's mother said in a low voice, "Come here, I need to talk to you."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes.
It seems Zhou Yanci is about to put on another big show?
She responded and hurried to the Zhou family's house.
The Zhou family's butler was waiting at the door.
Seeing Shang Wu approaching, he went to greet her.
Shang Wu followed him closely inside, arriving at the luxurious and bright living room.
Zhou's mother sat upright in front of the French windows, her jade bracelet-adorned hand fiddling with a vase on the table.
Seeing the person come in, she snorted coldly without even lifting her eyelids.
"You've really got some nerve! You've slapped my son's face so hard it's swollen. Don't you know there's a routine meeting at the company today? How can he attend the meeting if you're making such a scene!"
With the last sentence, Zhou's mother raised her voice and threw a slightly withered hydrangea at Shang Wu.
Petals fluttered down, some landing on Shang Wu's clothes.
Shang Wu's eyes turned cold. She slowly brushed aside the petals on her body and picked up the hydrangea.
"According to Madam, if Yanci sleeps with other women behind my back, I should just tolerate it and pretend I don't know?"
Zhou's mother slammed her hand on the table: "You need to get to the bottom of this! Nothing happened between them. Yan Ci just saw that Miss Chen was drunk and had nowhere to go, so he took her home for one night. Is that your reason for hitting her?"
Shang Wu walked towards the trash can on the table, and paused upon hearing this.
She chuckled softly: "Even if nothing happened, shouldn't I be angry that my fiancé brought his ex-girlfriend home for the night without my permission? Zhou Yanci didn't say anything, so why did you call me here?"
Shang Wu suddenly changed direction and put the flowers in the vase.
It instantly ruined the harmony of the entire vase of flowers.
Zhou's mother took a deep breath: "It seems you don't realize at all that hitting someone is wrong! Fine, then I'll slap you twice too, so you can taste how much pain my son can feel!"
She berated the housekeeper and servants.
"Hold her down!"
Shang Wu's gaze shifted, and she saw the ostentatious Art Kalman parked outside.
They came at just the right time.
The butler and servants surrounded Shang Wu and held her down.
Shang Wu had never resisted fiercely before, and they had always done so casually.
Zhou's mother walked over, her eyes flashing with malice as she slapped Shang Wu.
Shang Wu grabbed the butler and stood in front of him, taking a step back herself.
Snap!
The butler received a solid slap and before he could react, he suddenly felt a hard push on his lower back.
He lunged at Zhou's mother out of control.
"ah!"
A scream erupted, and people and horses fell to the ground.
Zhou Yanci rushed in: "Don't hurt Awu!"
He froze after saying that.
Shang Wu and the dumbfounded servant stood perfectly fine to the side, while the obese butler was pinning his mother to the floor.
Zhou's mother was so overwhelmed by the pressure that her eyes rolled back. She turned her head and saw that the bracelet she had worn for decades was broken. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
The butler hurriedly got up.
"mom!"
Zhou Yanci rushed in immediately, hugged her mother in her arms, and pinched her philtrum.
Zhou's mother kicked her legs and slowly woke up, staring at Shang Wu behind the servant with a vicious and cold gaze.
"It's her..."
She raised her hand tremblingly: "It's her!"
Zhou Yanci frowned, her face still bearing obvious red marks, and turned to look at Shang Wu.
Shang Wu then feigned a moment of helplessness and explained, "Madam was about to hit me, so I just dodged. I don't know how the steward ended up bumping into Madam."
"That's not how it happened!" The butler stepped forward, covering his face. "She not only dodged, but she also pushed me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen on Madam!"
Shang Wu glanced at him with her misty eyes: "Do you have any evidence? Or... did someone see me push it?"
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
The situation happened so suddenly that none of them noticed.
The butler was unwilling to give up: "But..."
Shang Wu said coldly, "You can't blame everything on me just because you broke Madam Zhou's jade bracelet, can you? And you, Madam, you came up here and started smashing and hitting me. I work hard for Cheng Zhou, and I can't even be angry with my fiancé when I go back and see a woman living in his house?"
Her voice suddenly became agitated, and her eyes reddened: "Fine, since Madam hates me so much, everything I do is wrong. I will never come to the Zhou family again!"
Zhou Yanci felt a pang of anxiety, released her mother, and stood up.
"A-Wu!"
Shang Wu left quickly, giving him no chance to react.
She came and went in a hurry, not even staying for ten minutes, leaving the Zhou family in a mess and ruining the play that Zhou Yanci and her mother had planned.
After sitting in the car, Shang Wu closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
Finally, I have an outlet for my frustration.
Comfortable.
Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes, fastened her seatbelt, and rolled down the car window as Zhou Yanci chased after her.
"If you really feel so wronged by being beaten and are going to complain to your wife, then there's nothing more to say between us. Let's both calm down for a few days."
Shang Wu stepped on the gas and sped away.
Zhou Yanci's expression was tense, and the veins on his temples were faintly visible.
It feels terrible to not be able to follow the plan.
In the past three years, Shang Wu has never lost her temper like this. She has always been able to calm down with a little coaxing.
It seems that Shang Wu really cares about being asleep.
Fortunately, her temper tantrum shows that she cares about him and can't live without him.
Zhou Yanci pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed.
"Don't come to me about the dormancy thing these next couple of days."
"Yeah, it'll be cold for a few days. Let me calm things down here first."
He hung up the phone and went back to the company.
Zhou Yanci entered the president's private elevator and headed straight for the jewelry department.
I had just stepped out of the elevator when a phone call came in.
Zhou Yanci answered the call casually: "Speak."
"News came from the prison that Miss Shang went to see her brother this morning."
