After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian heard someone call out Professor Wu's name, but she didn't hear it.

She didn't really want to talk to the other party, after all, this was the master that Mu Liangyue, Lu Lingjun, Lu Lingbai, and even Lou Xiao wanted her to become their disciple.

It wasn't something she wanted to worship herself.

But some inconsiderate people blocked her way: "Lu Sijian, hurry up and greet Old Master Wu and Miss Mu."

Lu Sijian looked up and saw that it was someone she knew. "It's you."

Lan Miao frowned at her and said bluntly, "Today is your apprenticeship banquet, a joyous occasion, why do you look so dejected? Is that appropriate?"

Lu Lingbo, who was with her, immediately came over and said, "No, Teacher Lan, you've misunderstood."

"Teacher Lan?" Lu Sijian looked at Lu Lingbai with a puzzled expression, then immediately understood.

[Oh, there was an annoying counselor in the original book, so she's that counselor?]

Lu Lingbo quietly explained, "Jian, Teacher Lan is your advisor for all four years of university. She will take care of you in the future."

Lu Sijian glanced at Lan Miao, speechless.

"Take care of me? Does she look like she'd be willing to take care of me? More like she's picking a fight."

[However, in the original book, she hated Mu Liangyue more and even pretended to try to win me over, but now it seems she hates me even more.]

Lu Sijian understood the reason after a moment's thought: "It's because I seriously offended them last time, right? We have a grudge against each other."

Lan Miao frowned. What kind of look was that? She was, after all, Lan Miao's advisor. Couldn't she even be bothered to give her a perfunctory response?

“Young Master Lu asked me to take care of you. Although I will treat everyone equally, I will not refuse his good intentions.” Lan Miao felt that she had the right to lecture him. “Your brothers care about you a lot. Don’t make things difficult for your second brother. At least be nice and go over to say hello.”

"What's it to you?" Lu Sijian found it strange. "Whether I say hello or not is none of your business."

"What did you say?" Lan Miao's face fell; she was being far too rude!

There were people watching, and she retorted angrily, "I'm your counselor! If your older brother hadn't asked me to look after you, do you think I would have bothered with you?"

Lu Sijian: "Since you feel it's too much of a burden, then there's no need to take care of it."

"What did you say?" Lan Miao was shocked. How dare she talk to her like that?

Lu Sijian sincerely suggested, "If you don't want to see me, you can just not attend today's banquet. The door is over there."

Since neither of us is willing, why force ourselves to come? Isn't that just making things difficult for ourselves?

"Jian, you're so rude! Apologize to Teacher Lan right now!" Lu Lingbo was angry. No matter what, she shouldn't have said those words, making Lan Miao lose face.

Lu Sijian stopped, looked up at him quietly, and asked, "Is Second Brother going to discipline me again?"

Lu Lingbai felt a sudden panic and opened his mouth to explain, but remembering his elder brother's instructions not to let his younger sister act recklessly, he said in a cold voice, "You must listen to me."

My sister is angry and may not understand everyone's good intentions.

If she got into Yuncheng University based on her own merit and was favored by Professor Wu, then being a little arrogant wouldn't be a problem.

But that's not the problem.

Intellectuals are somewhat aloof, so it's normal for both Professor Wu and Teacher Lan to be unhappy.

Not everyone will happily agree to receive benefits and provide you with excellent service.

The Lu family has money to pave the way for her, but money can't buy everything.

Lan Miao glanced at the brother and sister, then suddenly raised her voice: "If you don't need my help, what about Professor Wu? Don't you want to become his apprentice either?"

She wanted to see if Lu Sijian would dare to be as tough as she had been just now!

Just as Lu Sijian was about to speak, Lu Lingbo grabbed her wrist, looking at her with a pleading expression.

Lan Miao snorted coldly, thinking, "I suppose you wouldn't dare to argue with me. It seems you just look down on me. In that case, apply for a class transfer."

Otherwise, if you fall into my hands, I definitely won't let you off easy.

Lu Lingbo understood the threat, and his expression subtly changed. "Teacher Lan, there's no need for this..."

Lan Miao: "She said herself that if she didn't want to see me, she didn't have to come to our class or attend my lectures. There was no need to force her."

She returned Lu Sijian's words verbatim: "Aren't you very tough? Then you mustn't back down."

After Lan Miao finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Lu Sijian sighed and walked over to block the other person's path. "Wait a minute."

Lan Miao's face was full of sarcasm. "What, you know you were wrong now?"

Seeing Lu Sijian extend her hand, she sneered, "You want to shake hands and make peace with me?"

"What are you talking about?" Lu Sijian raised her hand. "I'm asking you to return the benefits to me."

"She and I had a past conflict, yet she's still willing to take care of me, which means Lu Lingjun has given her enough benefits."

[Never mind, since she's come to me like this, I have to come back!]

After realizing what was happening, Lan Miao's face flushed red with anger. "You!"

She didn't know what to say, so she left after saying something nonsensical.

"Wait a minute, are you going to pay me back or not?" Lian Buman, who had just arrived, saw this scene and hurriedly blocked her other path.

This woman is clearly trying to deny everything; how can that be allowed?

Lan Miao was about to faint from anger. Were these two crazy? How dare they ask for the gifts they had given out to their faces?

"Ah Jian, stop fooling around!" Lu Lingbo pulled Lu Sijian back.

In his haste, he lost control of his strength and pulled too hard. Lu Sijian was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling to the side.

Lian Buman hurriedly reached out to help her up, but ended up falling down with her.

People around them all looked over. What was going on? It seemed like the brother and sister were having a fight.

Lu Lingbo was also stunned, "Ah Jian, I didn't mean to..."

Lan Miao gave Lu Lingbo a resentful look, then turned and walked out.

"Teacher Lan, wait a minute!" Lu Lingbo steeled his heart, turned around and chased after Lan Miao.

The most important thing now is to appease Lan Miao. We can't offend her too much, since my sister still has to study at Yuncheng University.

The guests nearby exchanged knowing glances.

It seems that the siblings are indeed at odds, and the rumors that Lu Sijian has fallen out of favor are also true.

On an occasion like today, pushing his sister down without even helping her up shows that the Lu family doesn't seem to value her that much.

Unable to contain their gossip, the group secretly huddled together to talk.

"I've long heard that the reason the Lu family dotes on this daughter is to bind Lou Xiao and the Lou Group to their side."

"Who exactly spread the rumor that Lu Ting dotes on his daughter so much? If he really loves her that much, why didn't he come back to attend the engagement banquet last time or the apprenticeship banquet this time?"

"That's right, at least President Lu showed up at the Third Young Master's college entrance banquet."

"Mr. Lu is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. Is he just disgusted by his daughter's lack of ambition?"

"He used to be so promising that he almost stole the spotlight from the young master, but now he's so useless that he's practically a cripple after sleeping around for three years."

"Aren't daughters raised primarily for arranged marriages? Lu Sijian used to cultivate the title of 'First Socialite' just to marry into a powerful family, right?"

The speaker sighed, "If Young Master Lou were still her fiancé, who would dare to look down on her?"

Lou Xiao stopped in his tracks, looking thoughtful.
