After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

While waiting for the elevator in the garage, Lou Xiao's phone rang.

"Mr. Lou, something bad has happened! There's a problem with the Dongcheng project! Hewei is willing to forfeit the deposit to back out..."

Lou Xiao was taken aback, not expecting such bad timing, that he would encounter trouble at work again.

The elevator dinged, and the doorman held the door open, waiting for him to go in.

Lou Xiao stepped inside without hesitation, giving instructions to the person on the other end of the phone as he went.

"Have all relevant project leaders come to the company immediately. We'll have a meeting in an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Lou Xiao looked at himself in the elevator car, his eyes seemingly filled with exhaustion.

When the elevator doors opened with a ding, he had already quickly composed himself and stepped out.

A cleaning lady carrying a mop walked past him.

It's inevitable that some things will get the floor dirty at banquets, so cleaning staff must be on standby at all times to ensure timely cleaning.

He hadn't taken it seriously at first, but as he walked over, his gaze suddenly froze.

"stop!"

The cleaning staff member stood there, puzzled. "Is there something you need?"

Lou Xiao walked over and pulled out the things that were sticking out of her pocket.

"How did you end up with this amulet?" He recognized it; it was exactly the same as the one on the dining table.

Mu Liangyue moved out last night, and even sent him a text message before leaving.

Lou Xiao resisted the urge to reply to the other party's text message, but still asked the property manager to come and confirm.

The property manager sent him a video, and sure enough, the house was very clean, with not a trace of Mu Liangyue's past residence.

However, the amulet was still on the dining table, and Lou Xiao had the property manager take it away.

This amulet is not a product from the temple; the embroidery and tassels were all made by Mu Liangyue herself.

So, when Mu Liangyue came to give gifts today, besides the bracelet that caused the argument with Lian Buman, did she also bring this amulet?

The cleaning lady was a little scared and hurriedly explained, "I didn't steal anything! I found it!"

Seeing this, the assistant next to him shouted sternly, "Where did you find it? Tell us the truth! Otherwise, you stole it!"

"It wasn't stolen! Someone else didn't want to throw it away!"

The cleaning lady felt a little guilty; she had thought of keeping the amulet because she thought it was too pretty.

I never expected to be so unlucky; I actually got caught red-handed.

Of course, she had to say it was something someone else didn't want to throw away; otherwise, should she say it was dropped by a customer? That would be a major taboo at work.

Lou Xiao grabbed the cleaning lady's arm, her gaze sharp. "Who didn't want to throw it away? Explain yourself! Was it Miss Lu?"

Upon hearing Lou Xiao's words, the cleaning staff quickly seized the opportunity, saying, "Yes, yes, it's Miss Lu!"

Lou Xiao was stunned and let go of his hand.

The cleaning staff hurriedly grabbed their mops and ran off.

The assistant tried to stop her, but Lou Xiao said, "Forget it, let her go."

Liangyue is so kind, she definitely wouldn't want to see them making things difficult for a cleaner just for a talisman.

He looked up and saw a figure walking in his direction, so he quickly hid the amulet in his suit pocket.

"Lou Xiao." Lian Buman stopped. "I'm asking you about what happened back then..."

Lou Xiao gave him a look, and his assistant quickly and tactfully stepped aside.

Lou Xiao then said, "What do you want to ask? If it's something you shouldn't ask, then don't ask."

Since a clarification announcement has already been issued, why bring up what happened back then?

He guessed that she was probably unwilling to accept the outcome, but the answer might not be what she wanted, so why bother herself?

Lian Buman: "Back then you said that Lu Sijian illuminated your life, and that you would only ever be moved by her. You haven't forgotten your vow, have you?"

Lou Xiao was taken aback. So that's all she asked?

"Why aren't you answering?" Lian Buman's eyes changed. "You haven't changed your mind, have you?"

"Of course not," Lou Xiao quickly replied.

"That's good. I hope you won't change your mind." Lian Buman breathed a sigh of relief. "What did you mean by that last sentence?"

Lou Xiao: "...It's nothing."

-

Lu Sijian was chatting with the person next to her.

Having probably seen Lou Xiao's private bodyguard, he suddenly had a new idea.

"Since Mr. Lou himself couldn't be there, he sent bodyguards instead. Is he afraid someone will snatch the bride away? But with such a beautiful bride, he's definitely worried."

"The fact that Mr. Lou specially sent bodyguards shows how much he cares for Miss Lu."

"Sijian has finally overcome her hardships. With President Lou protecting her, she will definitely live a happy and fulfilling life from now on."

Lu Sijian smiled and nodded: "I also think I'm having a really good day, and I'm sure all my wishes will come true!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the light in front of her dim, and she couldn't help but look up.

Sheng Lan frowned and looked at Lu Sijian for a moment, then handed her a jewelry box. "This is for you."

The wealthy woman next to her gasped when she saw what Sheng Lan had given her. So generous?

You have to understand that the relationship between the two families is really not good! If Sheng Lan hadn't gotten along well with Lou Changling, the Lu family might not have invited her to today's party.

Sheng Lan was initially heartbroken, but seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of those around her, she felt incredibly pleased.

Especially since two of them were her mortal enemies, who tried to curry favor with Lu Sijian in order to ingratiate themselves with Lou Xiao, but ended up with nothing but a bunch of nonsense.

I must say, my nephew is really clever. He said that to stand out in social situations, you have to do things unexpectedly.

She wasn't familiar with Lu Sijian, so the more expensive the gift she gave, the more it would impress everyone!

Lu Sijian: "Aunt Sheng, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Sheng Lan, with his wealth and arrogance, said, "Just accept it as a gift."

Since she'd already given the gift, it wasn't unreasonable for her to ask for the center position, right? Sheng Lan plopped down next to Lu Sijian, pushing Shen Baolin aside.

Shen Baolin came to her senses, feeling somewhat displeased, and deliberately kept her lower body still.

Although she was pulled over to sit with Lu Sijian by others, she was still upset when she was suddenly pushed aside.

Sheng Lan turned to look at her: "Could you move aside?"

The matter-of-fact tone infuriated Shen Baolin.

Lu Sijian silently moved aside.

Sheng Lan immediately said, "You're the more sensible one." It seems the gift wasn't given for nothing.

Shen Baolin: "..." I'm so angry!

Lu Sijian glanced at Shen Baolin and sighed inwardly.

Why are you getting angry with Sheng Lan? She's a typical princess with severe symptoms, only caring about herself. Getting angry is pointless.

"Did Aunt Sheng want to see me for some advice?" Lu Sijian asked with a smile.

Sheng Lan was worried about how to start the conversation, but said, "Since you want my guidance, I will give you a word or two. Please don't take it personally."

Lu Sijian smiled and said no, Auntie, please tell me if you need anything.

"Then I'll just say it straight: how could you kick your cousin out?" Sheng Lan asked with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Shen Baolin felt much better. It seemed that even Sheng Lan did not approve of Lu Sijian's domineering behavior.

[So, she was instigated by Lou Changling to cause trouble, wasn't she?]

Lu Sijian looked confused and asked earnestly, "Aunt Sheng, are you saying that when you are about to marry the man you love, his cousin causes trouble at the wedding and smashes the dessert table, you will tolerate and let him act up?"

"That won't do!" Sheng Lan exclaimed anxiously; she was about to explode with anger if she even slightly put herself in the situation.

If she marries Lou Changling, she will kill anyone who dares to ruin the wedding!
