After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Mu Liangyue looked up and saw the terrifying Miss Lian, so frightened that she held her breath.

Lian Buman grew impatient: "You bumped into someone, and you didn't even apologize?"

She was truly astonished. This woman looked so delicate and frail, how could she hit someone so hard!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Mu Liangyue hurriedly lowered her head and picked up the things that the other person had dropped on the ground.

Lu Sijian heard the commotion and came over. "What's going on?"

"Explain yourself clearly, I didn't bully you!" Lian Buman said, somewhat annoyed.

Previously, she had exposed Shen's father's deception in a very candid manner, but Lu Sijian's real thought was to stop Shen Baolin from investigating Shen's father.

She was stunned. It seemed like she had done something wrong. Would Lu Sijian resent her for talking nonsense?

She finally found a corner to reflect on her actions, and then she saw Lu Sijian and Mu Liangyue walking over and stopping to talk not far away.

She had originally planned to leave, but upon hearing that it was a gift delivery, she stopped and wanted to learn from the experience.

When she saw Mu Liangyue stuff the jewelry box into Lu Sijian's hand, she was stunned. This woman was really bold to actually do something like forcibly stuffing it into someone's hand.

So shocked was she that she didn't have time to dodge when Mu Liangyue rushed over.

Mu Liangyue: "...I bumped into you by accident, I'm so sorry."

She looked at the item in her hand, her expression momentarily blank. "Miss Lian, is this bracelet a gift for Miss Lu?"

"[A gift for me? No way, could it be that Mu Liangyue is overthinking it?]" Lu Sijian still reserved her opinion.

Lian Buman frowned as she looked at the bracelet, then suddenly took it and shoved it into Lu Sijian's hand, saying, "It's for you."

After handing it over, she nonchalantly added, "You know I can totally afford this bracelet, you can't refuse!"

Just kidding. If Mu Liangyue can force it on, wouldn't it prove that Mu Liangyue is more capable than me if I can't give it away?

This won't do! If Lu Siyi dares to refuse to accept it in person, she won't be able to hold back her anger!

Mu Liangyue felt a mix of emotions.

A friend took her to see this bracelet, and it cost twenty times more than her other bracelet.

Lian Buman is very generous to her friends, but not to this extent. Besides, isn't the other party a rival of Lu Sijian in love?

She looked up at Lu Sijian, certain that Miss Lu would not accept it.

First of all, the two are rivals in love, so it's impossible for them to truly shake hands and make peace; they will definitely continue to compete with each other.

Secondly, Lian Buman's words seemed to be deliberately belittling other people's gifts, which was essentially flaunting wealth. Miss Lu, being so cultured, would certainly not tolerate it.

Lu Sijian smiled and said, "Lian Buman, thank you."

Mu Liangyue was somewhat surprised; she actually accepted it?

Lian Buman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then thought for a moment and said in a domineering tone, "No need to thank me. I just feel that if a poor wretch like her can give me a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands, wouldn't it be like letting her step on my head if I didn't give her an even better gift?"

So that's the reason. It actually makes sense to me now.

Lian Buman nodded silently to herself. Yes, that was the reason! She absolutely had no other intentions!

"Lian Buman, aren't you going too far?" He Wenyuan walked over.

Lian Buman: "What's it to you? Why are you so nosy? If you're so bored, go home and lick the toilet!"

Seeing the people around him looking over, He Wenyuan suppressed his anger: "I just can't stand your domineering behavior. Giving gifts is about the sentiment, not about the money. You know Liangyue's family isn't well-off, and she earns her own living. Every penny she spends on gifts is her own hard-earned money!"

The last sentence was resounding and attracted many people to stop and listen.

"I think it's going too far to only value the monetary worth of a gift and burden others with a heavy burden. This is a bad trend that must be stopped!"

He Wenyuan has a performative personality and speaks in a very persuasive way, and quite a few people were secretly glancing at Lu Sijian.

They suspected that she had put immense psychological pressure on Mu Liangyue, forcing her to grit her teeth and give her such an expensive bracelet just to save face.

Lu Sijian sighed silently.

See? I knew this would happen.

Mu Liangyue doesn't mean any harm, but when she gives gifts that exceed her means, the recipients are often condemned by everyone.

But He Wenyuan was a wicked man. He not only wanted me to be condemned by everyone, but also wanted me to lose face and secretly return the bracelet.

Lian Buman frowned. "Is that so? That's terrible."

"You said yourself that gift-giving is about the sentiment, and I just like to use money to represent my feelings. Is it illegal to have a personal preference?"

Onlookers: "..."

That seems reasonable! This young lady has always been generous.

He Wenyuan snorted coldly, "Of course you'd say that if your family's rich..."

"So is there a problem with me calling her a poor wretch? I'm just stating the facts. Besides, she's spending her hard-earned money on gifts, but isn't mine the same? I earn my own money too!"

He Wenyuan was taken aback. "You're talking nonsense! You're definitely lying. Have you ever worked?"

He didn't believe that Lian Buman was just an arrogant and domineering young lady. What else could she do besides shopping?

Just kidding, if making money were that easy, he would have become a business tycoon long ago.

Lu Sijian couldn't help but laugh. [He Wenyuan is going to be proven wrong; even Lian Buman has had outstanding financial acumen since childhood.]

Her girlfriends clung to her, fiercely loyal, not because she recklessly spent money, but because she was a shrewd businesswoman.

[Everyone can make money by following her, so of course they'll be loyal to her to the death, just like He Wenyuan and Zhao Ke followed Lou Xiao.]

Lian Buman was stunned. She never imagined that one day she would be placed on the same level as Lou Xiao.

After a pause, Lian Buman continued, "Of course I won't go to work. For a while, Lolita dresses were all the rage in Yuncheng, and 90% of the Lolita dresses on the market were from my family. I wasn't the first to see the potential in this market, but I was the first to make my first fortune. I had already netted 20 million yuan while I was still in my senior year of high school."

Everyone around gasped.

Twenty million might be a small sum for business tycoons, but it means a different story for young people.

Besides, how old was Lian Buman back then? My goodness, she's amazing!

"Is it from Fubuki? I've even worn their Lolita dresses." One girl couldn't help but exclaim.

He Wenyuan's eyes reddened: "I don't believe it! You're just saying this on purpose because that online store has shut down!"

Lian Buman: "I knew you wouldn't believe me. After all, you're just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend your family's money on eating, drinking, and having fun. Of course, you can't understand how others make money."

It was no secret that she and her girlfriends were doing business together, but none of them looked down on their business.

What do you think a group of women like them can accomplish?

It's nothing more than the Lian family being rich, with a bunch of people playing house with Lian Buman to make the young lady happy.

"I believe in you." Lu Sijian's eyes were full of admiration. "Lian Buman, you are really amazing."

Amidst the crowd, Shen Baolin felt a mix of emotions.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't jealous. She always thought she was the best among girls her age and that Lian Buman was just a shopaholic and a show-off, with an empty head.

Reality, however, slapped her hard in the face.
