After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian gave him a meaningful look.

Yes, you cheated on your husband, and the person you cheated with was your muse! Surprised? Unexpected, right?

Lu Lingchen frowned imperceptibly. His muse? He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's not exactly cheating, it's just... there were some misunderstandings, and Liang Yue was involved too," Lu Lingbai explained softly.

The ease in Lu Lingchen's eyes disappeared.

Lu Lingbai looked up and saw the bloodstains on his younger brother's neck. "Hey, what happened to you here?"

The agent quickly explained that it was syrup. Lu Lingbo tried to wipe it off, but couldn't, so he increased the pressure.

"This syrup looks so realistic! It seems like there's more and more syrup the more you apply it..."

Lu Lingchen frowned and dodged his hand. "I'll go change my clothes first."

-

Half an hour later, when Lu Sijian came downstairs, the three Lu brothers were all sitting on the sofa.

Wang Ma followed silently behind her, carrying quite a few things in her hands.

Lou Xiao used to live in the Lu family's house for a long time, and he left many of his belongings in his private guest room.

Wang Ma helped pack everything up; these items, along with the gifts Lou Xiao gave to Lu Sijian, were to be returned to the Lou family.

Lu Lingchen's agent had already left. With such a big incident happening to the Lu family, how could he dare to linger?

If the engagement banquet had gone as planned, he would have been obliged to stay and have a drink, but now he'd better not.

Lu Lingbai looked at his sister, hesitant to speak.

Lu Lingjun: "Jian, have you really thought about breaking off the engagement?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "This matter is of great importance, and I have already informed my father."

Since suffering a serious illness a few years ago, Lu Ting has rarely returned to China. This time, he has entrusted his eldest son with the entire handling of his daughter's engagement ceremony and does not plan to attend.

Lu Lingjun made a video call to the other party, and the other party had obviously made arrangements and answered quickly.

"Please wait a moment, the master will be here shortly." The first person to appear on camera was someone the Lu siblings were very familiar with, Uncle Fu.

The other party was Lu Ting's assistant, who had been with Lu Ting for many years, and even his whole family followed Lu Ting abroad.

During the time Lu Sijian was in this world, Uncle Fu would call her from time to time to check on her situation.

Lu Sijian only said what she could think of.

Uncle Fu remarked that Miss had really grown up, but she had also become estranged from him, his tone somewhat sad.

At the time, Lu Sijian just made up a couple of sentences to get by.

What a joke! If she weren't unfamiliar with the place, would she have gone out of her way to wait for her to be exposed?

[It is known that Lu Sijian is the darling of the Lu family, so why do the three Lu brothers pretend to dote on their sister despite their differing intentions?]

【Of course it's because of Lu Ting! Lu Ting doesn't care about his three sons; the only one he cares about is this precious daughter.】

Even in our poorest times, I would still buy my daughter pretty dresses and take her out for Western food.

These are all evidenced by fragments of memories from the original owner's mind. Back then, as long as Lu Ting earned money from working, he would immediately spend it on his precious daughter.

He completely forgot that he had three underage sons starving in the countryside.

Uncle Fu was Lu Ting's first assistant, and at that time he also had to act as Lu Ting's nanny.

These two are the ones who loved the original owner the most, and they were the only two who escaped unscathed during the Lu family's bankruptcy. They're clearly smart, and I can't take that risk.

Lu Lingjun glanced at Uncle Fu in front of the screen without making a sound.

So, Uncle Fu and the father might be the key to breaking the Lu family's fate of bankruptcy?

Lu Lingchen's expression remained as aloof as ever, his face showing no change, but his mind quickly extracted the key information.

The Lu family went bankrupt, and only the father and Uncle Fu escaped unscathed, which means that all four siblings present were in trouble.

—That's really great, she's having bad luck with me.

—Or perhaps she was actually in trouble a long time ago, and this one is an imposter?

Lu Lingbo was so worried that his hair was about to fall out, and he couldn't help but glance at his older brother several times.

Fortunately, at that moment, the screen shook, and another man appeared on the screen.

Lu Ting is over fifty years old, but he is very well-maintained. His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the four Lu siblings, but he does not give people a sense of closeness.

Perhaps it was because he possessed the ruthless aura of a superior, radiating an imposing presence even when not smiling.

Lu Lingbai felt a chill run down his spine whenever he saw his father, as if he were a mouse seeing a cat.

Even through the screen, he still unconsciously sat up straight.

Lu Ting's attention was not on him, or even on his eldest son.

"Baby, let Daddy see you quickly." As soon as he spoke, his cold and stern aura instantly dissipated, making him seem like just an old father missing his beloved daughter.

Lu Lingjun quickly pointed the video at Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian snapped out of her daze and called out, "Dad!"

Lu Ting smiled and said, "My darling looks really better. She looks much healthier, so I can rest assured."

Then his smile vanished, and his face darkened. "But how dare the Lou family not cherish such a precious treasure? Didn't Lou Xiao say that if anyone dares to betray you, I'll break their legs?"

Lu Sijian: "...You're coming back?"

"Does A-Jian want me back? I'll break Lou Xiao's legs when I get back, to get revenge for you, okay?" Lu Ting said, then suddenly started coughing violently.

Uncle Fu brought over the medicine and water. "Sir, please take care of yourself and try to avoid getting angry lately."

Lu Lingjun: "Dad, please take good care of yourself."

After taking his medicine and calming down, Lu Ting said, "Jian, Dad will never let you suffer. If you want to break off the engagement, then do so. If anything happens, just ask your older brother to handle it."

His tone was so matter-of-fact, as if it were only natural for the eldest son to do anything for his daughter.

[Is this the source of the original owner's confidence that allowed him to act so arrogantly? Lu Lingjun wouldn't dare to refuse.]

“…I will stand in A-Jian’s shoes and handle this matter properly,” Lu Lingjun said.

Lu Sijian: "Thank you, Dad, but I think I can handle it myself."

To avoid the other party being truly worried and insisting on flying back from abroad to break Lou Xiao's legs.

Lu Ting asked Lu Sijian a few more questions, and Lu Sijian noticed the gazes directed at her from behind, turning around to look at Lu Lingbai and Lu Lingchen.

“Dad, Third Brother is back today.” She met Lu Lingchen’s gaze, and his expression shifted slightly as he was about to speak.

Lu Sijian shoved the phone into Lu Lingbo's hand, saying, "Second brother, say hello to Dad."

Lu Lingchen clenched his fists instantly.

Lu Lingbo held the phone as if it were a hot potato. He forced himself to call out "Dad" and quickly shoved the phone into Lu Lingjun's hands, saying, "It seems like my older brother has something to say to you."

He didn't want to talk to his father; it was like torture every time.

Lu Lingjun: "Dad, Xiao Chen brought back the violin you gave him. He originally wanted to play it at A-Jian's engagement party."

As he spoke, he handed his phone to Lu Lingchen.

Lu Lingchen's lips were pursed, but his eyes held a hint of filial piety. "Dad..."

"Where's A-Jian? I want to see A-Jian again." Lu Ting didn't even look at him.
