Sheng Yunchao's peach blossom eyes suddenly curved into a smile, "Sorry, I deliberately stuck the wheelchair there."

He stepped aside, placing himself on the edge of the platform, and explained, "You were in such a hurry just now. I was worried something might happen, so I was just joking. I hope you don't mind."

The Lu family's living room has a raised platform that divides the activity area. Lu Lingbai was in such a hurry that he almost forgot about it.

"I don't mind, you're doing this for my own good." Lu Lingbai felt a little embarrassed, realizing he shouldn't have doubted his intentions.

Sheng Yunchao politely gestured for Lu Lingbai to go first.

He did it on purpose; it wasn't out of kindness.

Lu Lingbo was consumed by anger and probably wasn't thinking clearly. This would help the other party calm down and prevent them from making a foolish mistake.

-

Lu Lingbo was pushed over by the maid. He sat down opposite Lu Sijian with a cold face.

He used to spoil his sister, but today he had to show his authority as an older brother and let her know that she wasn't in charge of the Lu family.

There should be a limit to how willful and unreasonable a person can be, otherwise she shouldn't blame him for not giving her face.

He glanced at Sheng Yunchao, and before he could figure out how to ask him to leave, the other man had already sat down next to Lu Sijian.

Lu Lingbai: "..."

Well, with outsiders around, my sister will probably behave herself a bit.

"Sister Ye, please get up. You've taken care of us for over ten years, so you're our elder. There's no reason for you to kneel before a junior."

Lu Sijian looked neglected and hesitated to speak, but her heart was lighthearted.

[Now that you've lost your temper, there's even less chance that Aunt Ye will get up.]

[Since she's gone all out, how could she let me get up without giving me a good beating? Otherwise, wouldn't kneeling have been a waste?]

"Ah Jian!" Lu Lingbo couldn't hold back any longer.

What reason does Sister Ye have to target her? She's the one who drove others to the brink!

"Sister Ye is just a pitiful person. What good will it do you to fire her?"

Kong Can hesitated for a moment, "Second Young Master, it was the Eldest Young Master's decision to expel Ye Fengling..."

Lu Lingbo said sarcastically, "Assistant Kong, my elder brother is far away overseas. If it weren't for A-Jian, he wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter."

Kong Can remained silent. Although he had come to support Lu Sijian, this person was, after all, the second young master of the Lu family, and not someone he could afford to offend.

Lu Sijian's eyes suddenly reddened: "Second brother, why are you so angry with me for the sake of an outsider?"

Lu Lingbai remained completely unmoved. His sister was the most two-faced person, and he would not be fooled by her tears.

"Sister Ye is not an outsider. She has been taking care of us in the Lu family for over ten years. Our bond is extraordinary. Aren't you afraid that people will think you are cold-blooded and mean-spirited for doing this?"

"Second brother, how could you think of me like that?" Lu Sijian asked, her face full of sadness. "I'm your most beloved sister!"

But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, which increased his disgust value by another 3 points!

[Just as I guessed, this guy hates being emotionally blackmailed by family.]

[Yes, I am cold-blooded, mean-spirited, and inherently evil. And yet, I'm your own sister. Isn't that disgusting?]

Lu Lingbo: "I'm on the side of reason, not family. It's precisely because you're my sister that I need to discipline you even more."

Lu Sijian heard the announcement that her disgust level had increased by 1 again, and she looked at Lu Lingbai as if he were a money-grubbing child.

[Who said you're the most saintly of the three Lu brothers? Isn't that pretty cold-blooded...? But I like it!]

Aunt Ye cried and said, "Second Young Master, please don't frighten Miss. Let's talk this out."

Lu Sijian then looked at Sister Ye.

[Keep crying, make yourself look even more miserable, and this idiot will stand up for you to the very end.]

[However, Aunt Ye is truly an inspirational figure. I bet even Wang Ma could never have imagined that Aunt Ye, a mere servant, would one day rise to become the mistress of the Lu family.]

[Then they'll not only be qualified to "do what's best for me," but they'll also be able to discipline me.]

Lu Lingbai frowned. The mistress of the Lu family? What does that mean?

Lu Sijian was still pondering the plot.

That said, you and your son are essentially going in the same direction.

[Sister Ye was so busy taking care of her mentally unstable son that she couldn't even see her own daughter one last time before she died.]

[And to ensure that Mrs. Ye could secure her position as Mrs. Lu, the fool not only transferred all the shares of Junting Hotel to her, but also renamed Junting Hotel Fengting Hotel.]

[What a touching display of motherly love!]

"Second Young Master, please tell the Eldest Miss..."

"Shut up!" Lu Lingbai was so shocked he almost stood up.

Aunt Ye was stunned by the shout, not understanding why he suddenly told her to shut up.

Lu Lingbai was in a state of confusion and didn't have time to explain that he wanted Lu Sijian to shut up.

Mrs. Lu was already shocked enough, but he even changed the name of the Junting Hotel to the Fengting Hotel? How could that be? He's not crazy!

That was the hotel founded by her mother. Jun in Junting, and Jun in Jian Jun!

Even though the Junting Hotel is now in the hands of the Sheng family, out of respect for the founder, it has never been renamed!

Aunt Ye raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, "Second Young Master, please don't quarrel with Miss because of me. I'll leave. I... it's okay."

She said this, but her face was filled with confusion and sorrow, as if she didn't understand where the road ahead lay.

Lu Lingbai was touched. Sister Ye was always like this, preferring to suffer herself rather than make things difficult for him.

He thought coldly that the future his sister described must not be real.

He was genuinely kind to Sister Ye and didn't believe his sister's attempts to sow discord.

"I won't let you leave the Lu family." No matter what, he was going to protect Sister Ye today.

Sheng Yunchao chuckled and lowered his eyes; he had rarely seen a woman like Sister Ye.

Even though she's no longer young and her looks aren't particularly outstanding, her expressions and movements still evoke a sense of pity.

Now that she's going to become the new owner of Junting Hotel, he, the current owner who hasn't gone bankrupt yet, has to do something to show his appreciation.

"The Lu family is a rare and good employer. The matter is not yet settled. Get up and talk it out. The second young master will help you."

Aunt Ye looked over gratefully.

She knew that this dignified yet kind young man would stand by and speak up for her.

Today, Lu Sijian will inevitably be branded as arrogant and domineering.

In wealthy circles, reputation is paramount. Leaving a reputation for mistreating servants will never earn you any favors.

Sheng Yunchao smiled as he watched Aunt Ye support her back and prepare to get up.

The tone shifted abruptly, "After all, by kneeling like this, A-Jian's image as a villain has been solidified, and of course, the Second Young Master must uphold justice for you."

Aunt Ye was a little confused, but she managed to maintain her composure. "Young Master Sheng, have I done something to offend you...?"

Sheng Yunchao looked apologetic: "You didn't. It's just that I have poor personal qualities and am too suspicious."

"But you're going to kneel down again? Are you trying to solidify my image as a villain?"

Aunt Ye froze as she knelt down, unsure whether to kneel or not.

Lu Sijian was truly amazed.

[Who would have thought that Sister Ye, who's usually so good at dealing with young men, would suffer such a crushing defeat today!]

[You may be a pure white lotus, but you can't compete with Sheng Yunchao, who's a green tea b*tch!]

Sheng Yunchao smiled faintly and lowered his eyes. "A perennial green tea?" He took it as a compliment.

Lu Lingbo frowned: "Sister Ye, get up and speak properly. Kneeling won't solve anything."

He wasn't stupid; Sheng Yunchao's words filled him with doubt.
