After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Forget it, that He Wenyuan is too stupid, he deserves to be kicked out!" Sheng Lan quickly changed her attitude.

At Lu Sijian's age, she would only be more arrogant than Lu Sijian; she would explode if anyone provoked her.

Shen Baolin: "..."

Weren't you here to teach Lu Sijian a lesson? How could you betray us with just one sentence?

She was so disappointed!

Lu Sijian smiled but said nothing, and reached for a glass of fruit wine from the bar next to her and handed it to Sheng Lan.

Sheng Lan snapped out of her daze. No, she was there to stand up for her idol, and she couldn't be easily fooled.

"What about your fourth uncle? He is, after all, your elder. Can't you just let it go for his sake? You even said you'd ask him to leave too. Is that something a junior should say?"

Anyway, she has no elders, so this won't affect her.

Sheng Lan recalled Lou Changling's instructions, thought for a moment, and then said, "You're still making a mountain out of a molehill, borrowing Lou Xiao's bodyguards but driving away his closest relatives. If Lou Xiao gets angry later, we won't speak up for you."

Everyone present turned to look at Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian's attitude was so tough just now, I thought Lou Xiao was backing her up.

But if Lou Xiao was unaware of the situation, and the bodyguard was actually borrowed by Lu Sijian through scheming, then the meaning would be completely different.

Seeing Lu Sijian lower her head and remain silent, Sheng Lan felt smug, guessing that she might be scared.

"Since you know you were wrong, why don't you call your fourth uncle to apologize and ask him to come back? We can all help you persuade him."

Others also offered their advice.

"Yeah, why don't you make a call?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we both compromised and lived in harmony?"

"Your fourth uncle has a good temper and loves to take care of the younger generation, so he will definitely take the easy way out."

Lu Sijian sighed, "Okay, I'll call my fourth uncle to apologize, but could I borrow your phone, Auntie? I'm afraid he's too angry to answer."

Shen Baolin looked at her suspiciously, wondering if she was really that kind.

Sheng Lan dialed the number and, as soon as the other end answered, quickly said, "Brother Changling, Lu Sijian wants to apologize to you."

He then handed the phone to Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian: "Fourth Uncle, are you still near the hotel?"

Lou Changling: "You know you were wrong now? Too late, I've already left by car!"

You want me to go back? Only if you beg me!

Lu Sijian: "Really? I thought you asked Aunt Sheng to act as a go-between because you couldn't save face and wanted to come back. In that case, let's just forget about it."

On the other end, Lou Changling was furious as he looked at the phone that had been hung up.

What does it mean to be unable to save face? What does it mean to want to go back?

That's too much! Does she think she's the one begging her?

Lou Changling immediately called back, "Lu Sijian, do you really think Lou Xiao wouldn't dare to break off the engagement with you?"

Lu Sijian gently reminded him, "Fourth Uncle, I've put the phone on speakerphone, please keep your voice down."

What's the use of just making threats? Show me what you've got!

Lou Changling was so angry that he didn't care whether the speakerphone was on or not; all he wanted to do was teach her a lesson.

"Aren't you just afraid that Lou Xiao will change his mind? Let me tell you, you're right! He only feels responsibility towards you, not love. He's just taking pity on you!"

What woman could withstand such a blow? Did he really think he couldn't handle her?

Lu Sijian looked up at Lou Xiao, "Brother Xiao, is what Fourth Uncle said true?"

She undoubtedly had a pair of very beautiful eyes, her gaze always firm yet gentle, which once illuminated the darkness in his heart.

Lou Xiao thought of the vow he made years ago, his heart stirred slightly, and he said firmly, "No."

Lou Changling was stunned when he heard the voice from that side. Why was Lou Xiao there too?

Well, that little bitch, she actually dared to scheme against him!

"Lou Xiao, she's deliberately trying to sow discord between us, don't believe her!"

Lou Xiao turned off the speakerphone, took the phone and walked to the side. "Uncle, you're so old, can't you act like an elder?"

Lou Changling wanted to argue, but Lou Xiao didn't want to listen anymore. "Uncle, if you don't want to come to the engagement banquet tomorrow, you don't have to attend."

Lou Changling's eyes widened. Lou Xiao actually wouldn't let him attend the engagement banquet?

Does this mean that having a wife means forgetting one's mother?

Damn it!!!

Lou Xiao hung up the phone, walked over and handed the phone to Sheng Lan, "Thank you."

Lu Sijian looked utterly bewildered.

[How did he get here so quickly? And he wasn't even angry when he heard I deliberately provoked Lou Changling?]

[Wait a minute, given his personality, my disrespect for my elders and using his bodyguards to kick people out would have already violated his cardinal rule.]

"Didn't you stop loving me? I've given you enough leverage; you can justifiably call off the engagement!"

Everyone would be happy to see this, and I would become the laughingstock of the industry.

Lou Xiao felt relieved. No wonder she had become so extreme lately; it turned out she was afraid he didn't love her.

Sheng Lan took the phone and was about to explode: "How could you do this?"

She was so angry! How could he agree to apologize on the surface, only to betray her like that?

That's too much! Her crush is going to ignore her for a long time now.

Lou Xiao blocked Lu Sijian's way, saying, "She's the most important person here today, so she can do whatever she wants."

Sheng Lan was furious, but she was still wary of him, so she could only shut her mouth in frustration.

Lou Xiao turned to look at Lu Sijian, "Ah Jian, if anyone causes you trouble in the future, be sure to tell me in time, because causing trouble for you is causing trouble for me."

"Also, these two bodyguards will be working with you from now on." That should ease your anxiety, right?

Lu Sijian lowered her head and remained silent, her mind completely still. He guessed she must be very moved, but just too embarrassed to cry in front of everyone.

Lou Xiao knew that time was running out when his assistant's phone rang again.

He told his assistant, "It's alright, just tell them to wait ten minutes."

Lu Sijian then looked up. "Is there something urgent?"

"A very important project has run into trouble, and I have to rush back for a meeting to deal with it. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for long," Lou Xiao said gently.

Lu Sijian: "Then hurry back to the company, you can't let work be delayed!"

Lou Xiao: "It's okay, it's fine to make them wait for ten minutes. I want to spend more time with you."

The people around them all had expressions of utter delight at how sweet it was.

Shen Baolin looked at her cousin, but felt her heart turn cold.

It turns out that her cousin really could be so ruthless towards his own family for Lu Sijian.

Didn't everyone watch that video and learn so much about the truth? Why were they still fooled by Lu Sijian's clumsy tricks?

Lou Xiao's phone suddenly rang, and Lu Sijian asked, "Has the company been urging you?"

At the same time, Lou Xiao answered the phone.

"Brother Xiao, something terrible has happened! Liangyue is in trouble!" Zhao Ke's anxious voice came through the phone.

Lou Xiao paused for a moment, and was about to hang up when Lu Sijian put the call on speakerphone.

"What happened to Liangyue?"

"She just said she was going to work, so I turned around to drive her there, but she was gone, and I couldn't reach her on her phone!"

"That road is a straight road with no forks. I searched several times, but the person just disappeared!"

Lu Sijian had a bad feeling.

[No way? Wasn't Mu Liangyue supposed to be kidnapped at the engagement banquet tomorrow? Has the date been moved up?]
