After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian assumed that only people in her villa area were gossiping about this, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

After she finished her work, she went out for a stroll and happened to run into several wealthy women at the mall.

The wealthy ladies even came up to her and chatted for a bit, their tone full of sympathy.

The wealthy women, who weren't even close to her, comforted her, telling her not to be angry. They said the family that stood up for Sister Ye was a fool, knowing full well that Sister Ye had character flaws, yet still bringing her home.

Everyone felt that the Lu family was completely innocent and actively taught her how to manage a household.

Those people also told her not to worry about those spreading rumors, and that they would help her to give them a good scolding.

While they were chatting, Xia Youyou suddenly called, so Lu Sijian politely said goodbye and went to answer the phone.

"Sijian, have you heard any rumors?" Xia Youyou asked anxiously.

Lu Sijian paused for a moment: "What rumor?"

"What other rumors could it be? It's just that Ye Fengling making things up about you, saying you're hard to please, that you bullied her, that you're two-faced, outwardly dignified and generous but inwardly malicious..."

Lu Sijian continued, "Are you also saying that I've been in a vegetative state for so long that I've become psychologically twisted?"

"You already knew?" Xia Youyou was stunned.

Lu Sijian smiled and said, "No, I was just guessing."

In the original storyline, she was supposed to break with Sister Ye completely later on, and Sister Ye would expose her true colors.

By then, Mrs. Ye had risen to become the mistress of the Lu family. Because she was very good at flattery, she had a good reputation among socialites and wealthy women.

The other party accused Lu Sijian of being vicious since childhood, and the servants of the Lu family also testified, which led to the original owner's disgrace.

Now that the process has been expedited, and given Lou Changling's penchant for manipulating public opinion, it would be strange if he didn't take advantage of it.

Xia Youyou: "Some people just blindly follow the crowd, they're so stupid! They even said that Sister Ye was persecuted so badly that she dared to fight back. What, did you force her to be greedy for money? They're all like they've had their brains eaten by dogs!"

Lu Sijian didn't care; her reputation was impossible to clear anyway.

"Okay, don't be angry, let them say whatever they want."

Hearing footsteps, Lu Sijian looked up while holding her phone.

It was that group of noblewomen who had just left, who had actually turned back.

"How can we let them talk nonsense like that?" the leading lady said angrily. "It's outrageous! If anyone dares to say anything, we'll tear their mouth apart!"

"Yes, you're just too kind!"

"That Ye Fengling is just taking advantage of your soft heart, because you're a young girl and you don't have a mother!"

"I think the reason she's so arrogant and bullies a young girl like this is that she probably wants to become the mistress of the Lu family!"

Lu Sijian: "..."

Your aunt is still your aunt; she actually revealed the truth.

This trend is a bit off. Shouldn't Ye's accusations be the beginning of her reputation collapsing?

People naturally sympathize with the weak, and since Sister Ye came from a poor background, her husband abandoned her, and her daughter is seriously ill, she has all sorts of advantages stacked up.

Just like how Ye Sao treated the original owner back then, when the original owner learned about her daughter's heart disease, she immediately asked Lu Ting to arrange surgery.

I always felt that even if Aunt Ye made a mistake, it was understandable, after all, she was so pitiful.

Lu Sijian felt that something must have gone wrong. How come her reputation seemed to have improved even though the thunder had already exploded?

On the other end of the phone, Xia Youyou didn't find anything strange.

"This is how a normal person should react. Ye Fengling dared to deceive her superiors and embezzle so much money, how could she be a good person? You'd be better off believing I'm Qin Shi Huang than believing her."

Xia Youyou let out a bitter sigh. "I shouldn't have argued with those idiots. By the way, I need to post on my WeChat Moments to warn everyone to avoid these people. If you can avoid cooperating with them, then don't. How can you entrust your business to such stupid people?"

Without hesitation, Xia Youyou hung up the phone and went to post on her WeChat Moments.

Lu Sijian thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with this public opinion. How could so many people spontaneously speak up for her when Lou Changling was deliberately guiding it?

She was scrolling through her phone when she realized the call had already been made.

"Senior, are you missing me?" The young man's smiling voice rang out on the phone.

Lu Sijian ignored his nonsense. "Do you know about Sister Ye's situation?"

Before the other person could answer, she became more explicit, "Many people are supporting me now. Are you one of the people pushing me along?"

"How did you determine that it was me, senior?" Sheng Yunchao changed the subject. "But I didn't do anything. I just told you some things I knew."

He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking down at the people below.

Sheng Lan glanced at the rest area while holding the clothes, assuming he was making a work call, gestured for Uncle Ling to shut up, and obediently walked away.

She was overjoyed that her nephew had actually accompanied her on this shopping spree, making her feel incredibly important in front of those wealthy women!

Sheng Yunchao noticed her actions, but said nothing.

Lou Changling is adept at manipulating public opinion, and he was certainly not unprepared.

Back after that time at the Lu family's house, he casually mentioned it to Sheng Lan.

His aunt was a sociable person who always enjoyed all sorts of secrets about wealthy families. Lou Changling had used Sheng Lan to spread fabricated gossip before, and he could use her in the same way.

He immediately spread the word about Aunt Ye's bizarre act of repaying money with coins through Sheng Lan.

Lou Changling's attempts to exploit Ye Sao's past to gain sympathy only earned him disgust and resentment.

"Is this a way for you to thank me, senior?" Sheng Yunchao said modestly. "It was nothing. If you really want to thank me, then I would be very grateful."

Uncle Ling's eyes widened.

Wow, our young master is really shameless, actually asking for benefits directly!

Lu Sijian thought for a moment and asked, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Sheng Yunchao's Adam's apple bobbed, and his peach blossom eyes deepened.

He stood there, his posture unchanged, yet his aura became powerful... a powerful aura of certainty.

Uncle Ling gasped and whispered, "You want her to repay you with her body?"

Sheng Yun gave him a cold look, and Uncle Ling silently retreated, taking the Basque cake from the coffee table with him.

A man who is rejected in courtship is not to be trifled with; his old bones might be torn apart by the other party.

Sheng Yunchao looked down at the building, her peach blossom eyes shimmering with tenderness. "Alright, then please look up, senior."

Lu Sijian looked at her phone, finding his request increasingly strange. "Why are you looking up?"

However, last time I asked her to open the car window in the car...

She realized something and suddenly looked up.

A tall, slender figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and the young man waved to her with a smile.

Lu Sijian looked around, and Sheng Yunchao noticed her intention. "Don't move, I'll come find you right away."

My heart is so eager to see her that I can't wait even a second longer.

Sheng Lan was trying on clothes, surrounded by SAs showering her with compliments. Hearing hurried footsteps, she turned around and saw Sheng Yunchao striding away.

"What happened? Why is Yunchao in such a hurry?" She had never seen her usually calm nephew so out of control.

Uncle Ling silently swallowed the cake. "There's probably an emergency at the company."

He suspected that Sheng Yunchao wouldn't be coming back.

After all, we're going to undermine the foundation of the wall, so how can we not swing the hoe frequently?
