After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Lingbo blushed slightly for some reason, having been secretly praised by his younger sister.

Aunt Ye continued her pitiful act, "Young Master, Second Young Master, it's not that I don't want to stay in the Lu family, it's just that my daughter's condition is too serious..."

She guessed that, given Lu Lingbai's soft heart, he would not only not pursue the embezzled funds, but would also give her money.

It would be such a pity to miss such a good opportunity. She cried her heart out, "I didn't want to say anything, but I didn't expect that you already knew, Second Young Master..."

Lu Lingbai found the scene before him utterly ridiculous.

The person he once trusted so much had been lying to him all along.

“Tingting is fine. The teacher said she’s doing well today.” He didn’t want to watch the other person’s clumsy performance, so he took the initiative to tell the truth.

"What?" Aunt Ye looked up at him with teary eyes, somewhat bewildered.

Lu Sijian couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying with schadenfreude, "Second Brother probably means that he's lying to you."

Aunt Ye was completely stunned, staring at Lu Lingbo in disbelief, her heart shattered into pieces.

He's been working so hard in the back mountain, and not only does he not want to help me, but he's also teaming up with others to scam me.

Why did he become like this, so cold-blooded and ruthless towards himself?

"What, aren't you happy that your daughter didn't get sick?" Lu Sijian asked mischievously.

Looking at her, Sister Ye instantly found the answer to all her questions!

It was her who kept trying to make Lu Lingbai hate her!

It's unclear whether it was the anger and embarrassment of having their lie exposed, or the long-standing resentment and dissatisfaction that finally erupted.

Aunt Ye grabbed an art piece from the long dining table and threw it at Lu Sijian, yelling, "You bitch, just die!"

The moment the suitcase slipped from her hand, Lu Lingjun grabbed her wrist and flung her violently to the side, causing her and her suitcase to fall to the ground.

Lu Lingbo was staring at the ornament. Worried that his sister would get hurt, he shielded her with his body. The sharp corner of the ornament cut his forehead, and it was covered in blood.

That wasn't the worst part; he had twisted his ankle again while running too fast...

Lu Lingjun, his face cold, helped Lu Lingbai sit down in a chair. "Are you stupid?"

Lu Lingbo grimaced in pain, but he chuckled and said, "It's good that A-Jian is alright."

He turned his head and saw that Lu Sijian and Wang Ma were standing to the side, not behind him at all.

Their eyes met, and Lu Sijian looked speechless.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Aunt Ye's expression was off, so she quickly pulled Wang Ma away.

Why did he even rush up there? Why try to be a hero when you have your feet ready? I'm not stupid enough to just sit there and wait for her to smash me.

Lu Lingbai: "..."

Lu Lingjun pressed his younger brother's ankle and saw him gasp in pain. Finally, he couldn't contain his anger!

"Call the police!" he ordered grimly.

Aunt Ye realized what she had done and finally became frightened, "No! Second Young Master, I didn't mean to smash you..."

"Shut up!" Lu Lingbai yelled at her. The more he explained, the more confused she became; it would have been better not to explain at all.

Is it right to hit her sister? Her sister was very kind to her all day and didn't offend her.

The real person who tricked her into exposing her lies was him, so it's completely inexplicable that he took his anger out on his sister.

Besides, the older brother dotes on his younger sister so much. It's fortunate that he was the one who got injured today. If his younger sister had been injured, there would have been no way to resolve this matter.

Lu Lingbo: "Brother, forget it, let her go."

Lu Lingjun frowned and refused: "No, she must pay the price for her actions today..."

"Brother, I know that a kind heart cannot command an army, and a righteous heart cannot manage finances, but just this once, please let me handle it, okay?" Lu Lingbo tugged at his clothes, his eyes pleading.

Looking at the bloodstains on his face, Lu Lingjun relented: "This is the last time."

Lu Lingbo turned to look at Aunt Ye, "Aunt Ye, I won't pursue the matter of you hitting someone today. Consider it repayment for the meal you gave me back then."

When Aunt Ye heard that the matter wouldn't be pursued, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Lu Lingbai's tone shifted, becoming serious, "But please return the money you embezzled as soon as possible. I don't care what method you use, you must pay it back within a month!"

That money was earned through my brother's hard work, not something that fell from the sky!

Why shouldn't Sister Ye spit it out? There's no such logic in this world!

In the end, Aunt Ye left in a dejected manner.

It wasn't that she didn't want to plead for him, but Lu Lingbai had suddenly become heartless, leaving no room for negotiation, and threatened to sue her if she said anything more.

Lu Sijian watched Ye Sao's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.

[He left without looking back, not even bothering to check on Ershazi's injuries. He's probably in a rush to find Lou Xiao, his powerful backer.]

But then again, how did they become enemies? Weren't they supposed to be a mother and son with a deep bond?

Lu Lingbai felt as if he had been shot in the knee.

He's not stupid; Aunt Ye's behavior just now has already explained everything.

After injuring him, she only cared about whether she would be taken to the police station. Even her younger sister felt sorry for him when she saw his injury, but Mrs. Ye turned a blind eye.

She's too lazy to even put on an act.

Aunt Ye always said that she had no relatives in the city and treated him as her closest family member. She would consult him on everything and said that she only trusted the Second Young Master.

But in reality, he would secretly go to Lou Xiao and only adopt Lou Xiao's opinions.

Previously, when Lou Xiao stayed overnight at the Lu family's house, the dishes on the dinner table were always Lou Xiao's favorites.

Moreover, when it came to matters big or small in the household, Aunt Ye never asked him, the real master of the house, but instead asked Lou Xiao, the guest.

Actually, there were signs of this all along, but he had never dared to think about it deeply.

-

Lu Lingbo's ankle eventually swelled up, forcing him to use a wheelchair again.

Lu Sijian stared thoughtfully at his ankle.

Lu Lingbo was a little scared by her gaze, and tentatively asked, "Jian, when do you think my foot will be better?"

Lu Sijian was baffled: "I'm not a doctor, how would I know when your foot will get better?"

[The plot is truly masterful; by managing to injure his ankle again, I can finally relax.]

Lu Lingbai: "???"

What are you so relieved about? My goodness, I'm even more scared now!

The villa's manager suddenly called, saying someone was coming to return money and asking if they should let them through.

Lu Lingbai wondered if it was Aunt Ye who had raised the money to pay off the debt? He told the housekeeper to let them pass.

Lu Sijian was about to go out, but seeing this, she thought she could stay and watch the excitement.

This time, it wasn't Mrs. Ye who came. The two people who came claimed to be the accountant and lawyer hired by Ye Fengling's new employer, and they were there to repay the money on Ye Fengling's behalf.

The key point is that some of the money these two returned was in coins, and they demanded that the Lu family count it on the spot to confirm that it was correct.

Everyone was stunned as they watched several buckets of coins being unloaded from the truck.

Even in the era of mobile payments, this method of paying back money is still rare; it's still mostly coins!

This even alerted the people in the neighboring villa, who stood at their door to watch the commotion.

Lu Lingbai's face turned completely green the moment he saw the buckets of coins.

Lu Sijian remained calm: "It seems that Sister Ye's new employer has a very good relationship with her."

The accountant said sarcastically, "That's right. Our boss isn't like some people who like to bully servants to get a sense of importance."

The lawyer pulled him aside, his face pale, and kept apologizing, saying he didn't have that much money and asking for his understanding.
