After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

All the guests who witnessed the event today felt that Lu Sijian's decision to annul the engagement was perfectly justified.

The main problem is that this matter is too dramatic; it will probably become a topic of conversation and a laughing stock in high society circles for several years.

If Lou Xiao had simply abandoned Lu Sijian, then perhaps everyone would have advised Lu Sijian to be patient, after all, Lou Xiao did love her, and his three years of devoted waiting deserved forgiveness.

But now Lou Xiao is delaying a major company matter, a cooperation worth hundreds of billions, so the situation is different.

Lu Sijian was scolded by the elders of the Lou family for this. Who wouldn't feel wronged and angry?

Marriage is a union between two families, but Lou Xiao is unreliable, and the Lou family has no respect for Lu Sijian whatsoever.

If Lu Sijian doesn't turn against him now, is she going to wait until the New Year?

-

While waiting for her car in the hotel lobby, someone created a group chat, and Lu Sijian was added to it.

On the way, Lu Sijian saw the message shared in the group that the Wu family had arrived soon.

Wu Qingfeng's two sons and three daughters all came, even her youngest son who is in college came.

Sheng Yunchao was really something else. He said he didn't know who in the Wu family had any influence, so he invited everyone over 18 years old.

Apart from the youngest son, all of Wu's other children are now successful in their careers and are considered prominent figures.

They were unwilling to come in the first place. Wu Qingfeng was used to being domineering and arrogant outside, and this little thing was not worth their trouble.

But Sheng Yunchao went directly to their superiors... so they had no choice but to come.

"Are you crazy? Can't you handle this little thing yourself?" The young master immediately turned hostile and called Wu Qingfeng to berate him.

After all, he was asked to leave the classroom. How can he face people at school after this?

The other children also felt extremely ashamed. They considered themselves cultured people from an artistic family, yet Wu Qingfeng's behavior was so rude.

The matter was resolved quickly. Wu's children paid compensation and apologized, and their expressions were quite varied as they left.

Lu Sijian was enjoying the live updates in the group chat when a notification popped up on her phone that a payment had been received.

Sheng Yunchao also got her compensation money back and transferred it to her immediately.

Lu Sijian thought for a moment and sent a message: 【Received the money, thank you!】

As the car drove into the courtyard, the last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear behind the mountains.

The servants of the Lu family were all surprised that Lu Sijian had suddenly returned at this time.

"Young Miss, what brings you back?"

The engagement party is tomorrow, shouldn't she be staying at the hotel tonight?

Lu Sijian went straight upstairs. As soon as she entered the room, she felt something was wrong and immediately stopped Wang Ma from turning on the light.

The aromatherapy candles on the table had been moved, and although they were put back exactly as they were, the angle was slightly different.

[No way, there are thieves in such a big villa?]

A slight noise came from the dressing room. Lu Sijian walked over and, in the dim light of the day, saw a shocking scene.

The man stood in front of the full-length mirror, a cold and wicked smile curling at the corners of his lips.

He held a knife in his hand, its tip gleaming coldly, and red liquid slowly slid down from the tip, dripping and splashing out.

Blood? And he's a murderer?!

Lu Sijian tiptoed back, gesturing for Wang Ma to leave quickly.

Just as the two of them stepped back to the door, the door to the walk-in closet suddenly opened gently.

"Gotcha~" A strange and chilling voice rang out, like the forked tongue of a venomous snake, carrying a deadly danger.

Lu Sijian immediately pushed Wang Ma out and, without hesitation, grabbed a clothes rack and threw it at her.

The other person seemed caught off guard by this move; after being hit, they immediately grabbed the clothes hanger and tried to snatch it away.

Without hesitation, Lu Sijian let go and, taking advantage of the other party's inability to free his hands, instead of retreating, he rushed forward and kicked several times. While the other party was dodging, he suddenly squatted down and swept his arm horizontally.

After enduring several blows, he finally managed to take his opponent down.

With a clang, the knife fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, Lu Sijian swiftly picked up the knife and held it to the other person's neck.

As darkness fell, the garden lights came on, their dim light reflecting in her eyes, a chilling sight that sent shivers down one's spine.

The knife tip pressed against her blood vessel, and she could almost hear the sound of the other person's blood rushing faster.

Just as Lu Sijian increased the force of her knocking, a rapid knocking sound suddenly came from outside.

"Young Miss, the one inside is the Third Young Master!"

"Xiao Chen, are you alright?"

The door slammed open, and Wang Ma opened the door. Light flooded the room, and Lu Sijian swiftly shoved the knife into Lu Lingchen's hand.

Then she fell backward, looking up at the doorway with an innocent and bewildered expression.

The agent immediately realized the situation was bad!

Lu Lingchen had just finished showering. The other party was a germaphobe and wouldn't allow the maid to clean the bathroom, so he went to help clean it. He didn't expect that something would go wrong in such a short time.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Lu, are you alright? Did Xiao Chen scare you? I'm sorry, he just finished filming his last movie and he's still a bit in character."

Lu Sijian was helped up by Wang Ma. "It was Third Brother! I was so scared. I was wondering how a murderer could have broken into our house."

Lu Lingchen looked up at his younger sister, his heart still pounding.

Lu Sijian helped him up, "I'm sorry, Third Brother, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Agent: "How could that be? Miss Lu is so delicate."

He took the knife from Lu Lingchen's hand and explained with a smile, "This is a prop from the film crew. The knife is smeared with red syrup, not blood. Look, Xiao Chen has some on his neck."

Lu Sijian: "Third Brother, shall I wipe it clean for you?"

“…No need.” Lu Lingchen quickly dodged away.

Lu Sijian could only regretfully give up.

Both she and the other person knew perfectly well that the bloodstain was not syrup, but real blood.

[He couldn't accept it; he originally wanted to scare me, but I ended up defeating him instead, right?]

Lu Lingchen lowered his long eyelashes, finding it interesting that he could actually hear his sister's thoughts.

Suddenly, a series of noisy footsteps sounded downstairs, and then Lu Lingbai's voice rang out from afar.

"Jian! Calm down, Lou Xiao has something to tell you!"

The sound of footsteps approached rapidly. Lu Lingbo, panting heavily, rushed over, clutching his phone.

"Xiao Chen, you're back?" Upon seeing his younger brother, he was immediately overjoyed and rushed over to give him a warm hug.

Lu Lingchen frowned subconsciously, overwhelmed by the smell of sweat on him.

But a smile instantly appeared on his face. "Second brother, long time no see."

Lu Lingbo shoved the phone into Lu Sijian's hand, "Sijian, at least listen to what Lou Xiao has to say first."

He still felt that the decision to annul the engagement was too hasty.

Such deep feelings, it would be heartbreaking to give up like this.

"Ah Jian?" Lou Xiao called out anxiously from the other end of the phone.

Lu Sijian took the phone and hung up immediately.

Lu Lingchen had never seen his sister show such disrespect to Lou Xiao before, and asked, "What happened?"

Lu Lingbai whispered, "A-Jiang is breaking off the engagement, and my older brother is already on his way back."

Lu Lingchen thought for a moment, "Lou Xiao cheated on me?"

If that weren't the case, why would it have come to the point of announcing the engagement?
