After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

The car stopped by the roadside. Lu Lingbai glanced at the sign and knew it was the right place.

It seemed the store wasn't open yet, probably because it was morning.

Just then, three people came out of the store.

The man at the front was dressed in a suit and tie, followed by a middle-aged woman and an old lady.

The old lady said, "My son-in-law kindly took her in to stay at our house, but I never expected to attract such a troublemaker!"

"Mom, stop talking!" the middle-aged woman whispered, trying to stop her.

The old lady was displeased: "Why can't we say it? We should say it! She's fine as she is, just walking away, but his fiancée is still angry, and since she has nowhere else to vent, she can only take it out on us!"

"Sir, just three days after Mu Liangyue left, those people came to our shop again to cause trouble, insisting that they found rat meat in our food!"

"It's no use clarifying things; nobody dares to eat at our place anymore! Our shop simply can't stay open. Not only have we not made any money lately, we've actually lost over 100,000 yuan!"

The old lady couldn't help but wipe away her tears, "She's driving our whole family to our deaths! It's all Mu Liangyue's fault, that scourge!"

The middle-aged woman helped the old lady up: "I'm sorry, my mother is a little out of control. Actually, we can't blame Liangyue, she was completely unaware. That day they told us to kick Liangyue out, and we did, but we didn't expect them to still not let our family go."

Lu Lingbo was completely stunned. How could this be?

A surge of anger immediately welled up in his heart. Had the He family gone mad?

Liangyue has already been driven away, so why won't they let her cousin's family go? Are they trying to force their restaurant to close down?

“Since Miss Mu is unaware of this, then it’s best not to tell her about it,” the man said. “As for the losses your store has suffered, we will fully compensate you.”

The old lady's eyes widened, and she was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. We've also arranged a new shop as compensation. We'll take you there to see it later. Please accept this."

……

Lu Lingbo eventually turned and left quietly.

Since someone is already solving the problem, he won't interfere anymore.

The other party's purpose was to compensate Mu Liangyue's cousin's family, but they didn't want Mu Liangyue to know the truth. It's unclear when Mu Liangyue formed this good relationship.

But the He family's actions are truly despicable!

No wonder my sister caused such a scene at Madam He's birthday banquet that day; she clearly disdains to associate with the He family!

I just don't know if Liangyue ended up on the streets and suffered hardships after being kicked out of her cousin's house.

-

After Lu Lingbai left, Lu Sijian changed her clothes and left as well.

Recently, someone from the Provincial Arts Association asked her to attend a workshop, and Lu Lingjun specifically instructed her to make sure she attended on time.

These are all pluses that can enhance her resume, allowing her to win some awards and successfully enter Yuncheng University as an art student.

Lu Sijian felt something was off. Was it too late to try to get awards or arrange for guaranteed admission at this point?

When she arrived, she realized that the workshop actually had some real content.

The workshop's task was to restore a severely damaged ancient painting, which was said to have been newly unearthed from an archaeological site a few months ago and was an authentic work from the Nuwa Painting Academy.

The original works of the Nuwa Painting Academy once fetched a sky-high price of 9 million at an overseas auction house. Now that another original work has been released, many people are eagerly anticipating its return.

If one could participate in the restoration of this ancient painting, one would absolutely be able to dominate the art world.

No wonder Lu Lingjun insisted on having her participate no matter what.

The staff led them to an office, told them to "stay here and don't wander off," and then left.

The group looked at each other, then dispersed.

Everyone knows perfectly well that they're just here to pad their resumes.

Lu Sijian sat for a while and then felt something was wrong. Wasn't this supposed to be about restoring ancient paintings? They should be allowed to get hands-on work done. It wasn't appropriate for them to just sit here and rest.

Perhaps seeing that she was too idle, a few minutes later, a staff member came over and called, "Lu Sijian, come here."

Upon entering a room, a staff member pointed to a pile of things on the floor and said, "Please clear all of this out."

Lu Sijian looked at the pile of dusty waste on the ground: "..."

There are so many things; if she were to organize them all, she probably wouldn't be able to finish in a single day.

"Wait a minute, isn't this all trash? Do I have to clean it up too?"

The staff member's tone was full of impatience: "What garbage? These are important cultural relics discovered in archaeological excavations. Hurry up and clean them up. I want to see them cleaned up before I leave work at six o'clock."

After saying that, he hurriedly tried to leave.

She was certain that Lu Sijian wouldn't dare refuse, since the other party was there to build up her resume, so how could she dare disobey the arrangements?

Lu Sijian: "Excuse me, I'm here to attend the workshop, not to be your cleaner. I won't do it."

The staff were stunned; she had actually gotten ahead of them!

"Stop right there! You know you're here to attend the seminar, aren't you afraid we'll expel you?" the woman said angrily.

Lu Sijian said indifferently, "If I'm expelled, I'm expelled. If it's this kind of workshop, I might as well not participate."

The surroundings were dark and gloomy, and the path twisted and turned, but she remembered the route and quickly walked out.

The woman chased after him for a while but couldn't catch him, so she angrily turned back, passed through several doors, and entered a room.

"How was it? Did she clean it properly?" Wu Qingfeng stood at the glass door, watching the girl inside intently restoring the ancient painting, his eyes full of admiration.

After waiting for a while without getting a reply, he turned around with some dissatisfaction. "Why aren't you answering?"

"Professor Wu, it's like this..." The woman hurriedly embellished the story and recounted what had just happened.

Wu Qingfeng's face darkened upon hearing this: "What? She actually said that?"

He slammed his hand on the table. "Who does she think she is, daring to disobey orders? Is it wrong of me to ask her to clean up the cultural relics?"

If it weren't for Mu Liangyue's sake, he wouldn't have bothered to even glance at those useless people who came here just to gain experience.

Lu Sijian was obedient, and even if he suffered some hardship and fatigue, he still managed to gain a good image of being hardworking and resilient in his eyes.

But she refused.

"Professor Wu, are you really going to take her on as your apprentice? She doesn't even respect you."

Just as Wu Qingfeng was about to say something, the door in front suddenly opened, and Mu Liangyue walked out.

Wu Qingfeng immediately put on a smiling face, "Girl, what's wrong? Did you run into a problem, or are you tired and need to rest?"

This ancient painting is related to his project funding and professional title evaluation, so there must be no mistakes!

Mu Liangyue shook her head. "No problems have been encountered. The restoration of the ancient painting is progressing smoothly and will be finished soon."

She hesitated for a moment, "Were you just talking about Miss Lu? Has she arrived?"

Wu Qingfeng's face stiffened: "She came, but she seemed to have a problem with the task of cleaning up cultural relics that I assigned to her. She felt that this was something that cleaning staff should do, so she left again."

Mu Liangyue was taken aback. "Miss Lu isn't that kind of person!"

She couldn't bear to let Lu Sijian miss out on university, and she was extremely anxious.

"Professor, I beg you, please add Miss Lu's name, okay? I'm willing to give up my salary!"
