After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Lingbo: "Actually, it's mainly my fault. If I hadn't broken my bone, none of this would have happened. I apologize to you, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Wang Ma suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

On the surface, it seems like everyone is coaxing the young lady, but it's obvious that everyone is speaking on Sister Ye's side.

It seemed that, without realizing it, the young lady had been placed on the opposite side by all of them.

She looked at Lu Sijian with concern, "Miss..."

Lu Sijian's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and Lu Lingbai unconsciously tensed his back.

He knew that although his sister was domineering, she was very careful to maintain her image and would not make a scene in public, especially with Lou Xiao present.

However, it would ultimately be unfair to Sister Ye, and she would have to lower herself in the future to appease her sister's resentment.

Sure enough, Lu Sijian spoke up.

“Brother Xiao, you did it to save someone, how could you be wrong? Second Brother, you broke your leg, but that's not your fault either.”

"As for Sister-in-law Ye..." Lu Sijian's lips curled up slightly, "You're worried about Second Brother, which is why you had to trouble Brother Xiao, so that's understandable."

[As expected of my dear second brother, he's really good at playing the victim and using moral blackmail.]

You guessed it, Lou Xiao is here, so I won't lose my temper.

Sigh, I'm being so generous; I even came up with an excuse for you.

[So you guys weren't generous to me, and by blocking the door to apologize, you're just confirming that I'm petty and mean-spirited for taking my anger out on the servants because my fiancé saved another woman?]

Lou Xiao's expression shifted slightly, "Ah Jian..."

He instinctively wanted to hold Lu Sijian's hand, but Lu Sijian had already turned and walked into the house.

Lou Xiao withdrew his empty hand and quickly followed.

Lu Lingbo breathed a sigh of relief; this part was finally over.

He gave Aunt Ye a reassuring look, but unexpectedly, his gaze fell on the crowd.

A maid mouthed "go to hell" in the direction Lu Sijian had left, and the people around her laughed knowingly.

Lu Lingbai's heart tightened, "You..."

Those people all looked over, their faces full of confusion.

"Everyone is so happy that Miss is back," said Aunt Ye, following his gaze with a smile.

Lu Lingbai composed himself.

These are all elderly members of the Lu family. When A-Jian had her accident, everyone was heartbroken for a long time.

During festivals, everyone would go to the temple with Sister Ye to burn incense and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless A-Jian so that she could wake up soon.

How could they curse Ah Jian? Impossible, I must have seen wrong.

-

The food was quickly served.

The table was covered with all of Lu Sijian's favorite dishes.

Just as Lu Lingbai was about to pick up a bowl, Lou Xiao had already ladled out a bowl of fish ball soup and placed it in front of Lu Sijian.

"Ah Jian, you should try it, it tastes delicious!" Lu Lingbo said quickly.

Lu Sijian looked at the fish ball soup in front of her and smiled silently.

She fed the fish ball soup to Lou Xiao's lips, her voice incredibly sweet, "Brother Xiao, open your mouth quickly~"

Lu Lingbai got goosebumps all over. What was his sister doing? This was so pretentious!

Lou Xiao was even more embarrassed. He was naturally aloof and not used to being affectionate in front of others, let alone Lu Sijian... who was just too unreliable.

"Jian, someone's here." He dodged for a moment, then realized it wasn't right, fearing she might overthink it.

Lu Sijian met his gaze, and her smile became even sweeter.

[You can be disgusted, just wait and see how disgusting I am!]

【You guys are good at moral blackmail, I can do it too~~】

"Just one bite, okay? Try Aunt Ye's cooking~" Lu Sijian paused, sighed, and suddenly asked seriously, "Brother Xiao, are you still angry with Aunt Ye?"

Lu Lingbo choked a little.

"Second brother, even if you're unhappy with Sister-in-law Ye for making fish ball soup, you shouldn't spit it out." Lu Sijian looked over quietly.

[Hehe, I've opened my mind! I want to cultivate a dignified and elegant persona, and why don't you all cultivate a persona of loving me too?]

Since he loves me so much, he'll definitely protect me just like a father would, right?

I've put you all on such a high pedestal, you can't possibly deny it, can you?

Lu Lingbo stiffened his neck, and for a moment, he didn't even dare to look into his sister's eyes.

Lou Xiao slowly clenched his fingers, "Ah Jian, I..."

"Don't be angry, Aunt Ye didn't mean to slight me," Lu Sijian said. "Please forgive her, okay?"

Aunt Ye was stunned by Lu Sijian's shamelessness. She actually said that Young Master Lou and Young Master Lu were on her side.

What a big face!

But after waiting for a long time, seeing that neither of the two men spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little choked up.

Lou Xiao suddenly grabbed Lu Sijian's hand, leaned over, and ate the fish ball.

The gesture was so intimate that Lu Sijian was stunned.

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time," a mocking voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Sijian's eyes lit up.

【You've come at just the right time! Don't you like poaching other people's boyfriends? Go ahead and do it right in front of Lou Xiao!】

Lou Xiao's face turned cold as he looked up at the uninvited guest.

The maid then announced, "Young Master Sheng and Assistant Kong have arrived."

Kong Can didn't come over; he just stood outside the restaurant, waved from afar, and went to wait in the living room.

Sheng Yunchao, however, did not tactfully leave. The young man, seemingly somewhat shy but maintaining politeness, spoke up, "I'm so sorry, I haven't had lunch yet, so..."

A minute later, Sheng Yunchao sat down in the seat opposite Lu Sijian.

The cook provided him with bowls and chopsticks and even served him a bowl of seafood soup.

Sheng Yunchao was extremely well-mannered and polite. He lowered his eyes and drank the seafood soup. His features were delicate with a hint of mixed heritage, yet his temperament was noble and aloof, making people dare not be presumptuous.

Lu Sijian was shocked but not at all surprised to see the usually cold-faced cook smiling so happily.

This person really knows how to thrive anywhere.

Lu Lingbai cleared his throat: "Young Master Sheng is indeed a rare guest..."

He was still a little dazed. Were their two families so close that they could visit each other's homes?

How come he didn't know when this happened?!

Sheng Yunchao: "Second Young Master, you're too kind. Our two families have been friends for generations and have business dealings. When I was a child, Brother Lingjun even saved my life. We should stay in touch more often."

Lu Lingbai suddenly realized: "Oh, really? Is that so?"

That makes sense! It's perfectly normal for the older brother to want to get closer to Sheng Yunchao after he saved him!

What saved you? I don't remember.

Lu Sijian silently complained in her heart as she went through her memories.

[Was it when you were seven years old, playing with some other kids by the fountain, when the lights suddenly exploded and injured three of the children?]

[What do you mean Lu Lingjun saved you? Your positioning was all planned. Lu Lingjun should be thanking you for sparing his life, shouldn't he?]

Lu Lingbai was stunned, his chopsticks frozen in mid-air, feeling dizzy from the overwhelming amount of information.

Was it planned? Could it be...? He secretly glanced at Sheng Yunchao.

The young man seemed completely oblivious, sitting upright with a gentle smile and downcast eyes, exuding an air of serene elegance.

No, no, no, impossible! Lu Lingbai quickly dismissed this terrible idea.

My sister must have misunderstood. Sheng Yunchao would never do such a thing!

Lu Sijian suddenly looked up: "Hey, why aren't you eating?"
