After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"It hurts!" Sheng Lan was about to cry when she met her nephew's gentle and concerned eyes.

She's always been a troublemaker since she was little, and she's never been injured so badly before.

Although her nephew often annoys her, he truly respects her as his aunt.

As soon as she made the call, the other party immediately brought people to support her.

Uncle Ling watched silently without saying a word. Sigh, he was the one who had just cleaned the young lady's wounds.

Lou Changling made a gesture of surrender with his hands: "You guys are drunk, I won't argue with you anymore, okay?"

Lian Buman was furious and was about to start cursing when Lu Sijian stopped her.

[Ha, here we go again. If you can't win an argument, you resort to labeling. You're quite adept at that tactic.]

Lu Sijian said calmly, "Everyone has been drinking, but we were all clear-headed and discussed the matter objectively without making baseless accusations. If Fourth Uncle feels he can't win the argument, then he's wrong, not that you're giving up."

"But Fourth Uncle, you've always been like this. When Lou Xiao didn't go to the meeting, you blamed me for not letting him go. When Lou Xiao went to rescue someone, you blamed me for not persuading him. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

Lou Changling: "You..."

Lu Sijian didn't give him a chance to speak. "I'm not surprised. Fourth Uncle never thinks about solving problems but only finds someone to shirk responsibility. He probably hasn't grown up psychologically and thinks everyone in the world is his mother."

As soon as he said that, several bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd.

"What are you laughing at!" Lou Changling was furious.

The blond, blue-eyed man immediately apologized: "I was the one who laughed. I just thought that sentence was funny. Sorry."

Lou Changling, enraged, retorted, "And who are you? Who let you in?"

Lu Sijian had noticed this man long ago.

Who else could have come with Sheng Yunchao? Most likely, it's that Hewei guy.

[Brilliant! This time, not only has Lou Xiao caused trouble, but the Lou Group is going to lose face big time.]

Sheng Yunchao sighed, knowing that nothing could be hidden from her.

He turned to the man and said, "Ouyang, now you know what happened, right? Mr. Lou Xiao is so irresponsible, and everyone in the Lou Group is shirking their responsibilities. Can you really trust a partner like this to invest in a project?"

Lou Changling composed himself, wondering if he wanted to scare him.

"What Ouyang? The Lou Group doesn't have such a business partner..."

"Shut up, you bastard!" Uncle Qi slapped him hard across the face. "This is General Manager Ouyang from the overseas headquarters of Hewei Capital!"

Although he was only a vice president, he was the highest decision-maker in charge of China's investments.

The Lou family's collaboration has made such a huge mistake, and it was exposed right under the other party's nose. Now it's really over!

Seventh Uncle was filled with regret, realizing that his old eyesight had failed him and he hadn't recognized him immediately!

"Mr. Ouyang, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Uncle Qi glared at Lou Changling and quickly apologized, "We didn't know you would come in person..."

The elders of the Lou Group apologized one after another, but Ouyang waved his hand.

“I heard that Mr. Lou was absent from the meeting because he was with his fiancée, whom he is about to get engaged to. This is perfectly understandable. So I would like to personally visit them to congratulate them and apologize to Mr. Lou’s fiancée, asking her to understand that there was a reason for his absence.”

Ouyang spoke fluent Chinese. He shrugged and said, "I just didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Lou Changling's face burned, but his heart sank.

Having lived abroad, he naturally knew that the higher the social status of these foreigners, the more they valued family, or rather, they wanted to demonstrate to the public that they valued family.

They would believe that a person whose family is not harmonious and who does not know how to respect his wife is not worth cooperating with.

If Lou Xiao really stayed with Lu Sijian, they would only praise him for loving his wife and wouldn't hold him accountable for being late for the meeting.

But now that Lou Xiao has abandoned his fiancée, the situation is completely different.

"Mr. Ouyang, you've misunderstood! We Chinese believe in repaying a life-saving debt tenfold. The lady in danger saved Lou Xiao, which is why he had to go and rescue her!"

Ouyang hesitated for a moment, "I know the saying 'repay kindness tenfold,' so President Lou must be a very responsible person."

Lou Changling was overjoyed. "Great! There's a chance to salvage the situation!"

"Yes, he loves his fiancée very much, but he also has to repay his benefactor! The lady's life is in danger; the situation is extremely urgent!"

Lu Sijian: "How come I didn't know that Liangyue saved Xiao Ge?"

"There are many things you don't know," Lou Changling said smugly.

Seventh Uncle scolded, "Sijian, now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum!"

He gave Lou Changling an approving look, then looked at Ouyang.

"Please give us a little more time. We will find Lou Xiao as soon as possible and will definitely provide a solution by today!"

Xia Youyou was furious. She admitted that she was petty, but why did Lou Xiao suddenly become so righteous?

Lian Buman noticed that Lu Sijian's expression was very calm, and she was not affected by the Lou family at all.

Sheng Yunchao invited people to see the play, but it certainly wasn't for this particular play.

She paused, then looked at Wu Qingfeng, "Call Mu Liangyue."

Wu Qingfeng was anxious, and upon hearing this, she subconsciously made the call.

This time the call was answered very quickly.

"Professor, I'm sorry, I'll be on my way to the studio right away!" Mu Liangyue's voice came clearly.

"Weren't you kidnapped?" Wu Qingfeng asked hurriedly.

Mu Liangyue's voice was filled with surprise, "No, teacher, who told you that?"

A loud bang suddenly came from the phone. Mu Liangyue's voice was full of surprise, "Mr. Lou, what brings you here? What's going on? Wait, stop!"

From the moment she opened her mouth, Lu Sijian took the phone and turned on speakerphone.

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, then Lou Xiao's voice came through, "Thank goodness, you're alright."

The joy in his tone was unmistakable.

Lu Sijian hung up the phone on her own initiative.

"It seems it was all a misunderstanding, Second Brother. There's no need to call the police. Let's just leave," she said softly.

The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Lou Changling opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Ouyang's face darkened: "So, this is what you call saving people?"

The fact that Mu Liangyue could answer the phone and that her tone was normal indicates that she was free.

There were sounds of fighting in the background of the phone call, but it seemed to be nothing more than a misunderstanding.

Such a small misunderstanding caused that man to abandon his fiancée, an urgent work meeting, and clients?

Ouyang was utterly disappointed: "It seems that the Lou Group is not a good partner."

He turned to look at Lu Sijian, "And President Lou doesn't seem to be a good husband either. I suggest you, madam, choose carefully."

Seventh Uncle: "Wait a minute, Mr. Ouyang, please let me explain..."

The other elders were also eager to persuade him to stay, but Ouyang left resolutely.

There was no way to salvage the situation. The Lou Group first delayed telling Lou Xiao the reason for his lateness, then shirked responsibility, and finally even began to deceive him.

"How many of your people are telling the truth? I don't think I understand, and I don't want to understand. Let's leave it at that."

After Ouyang left, news came from the company that Hewei had officially issued a verbal notice of termination, and a written document would be delivered soon.

Because the Lou Group's actions constitute deception, they will recover the deposit and hold the Lou Group accountable.
