After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

The driver paused for a moment and then said, "...But it seems that President Sheng took the things back exactly as they were. Could it be that the Lu family gave them back to President Sheng?"

This is too strange. Surely Sheng Yunchao wouldn't be short of money like this?

Lou Xiao got out of the car, rushed past the gatekeeper, and walked straight inside.

Lu Lingbai was still in the courtyard when he saw him, somewhat surprised. "Lou Xiao, what brings you here?"

"Did Sheng Yunchao take all the things with him?"

Lu Lingbo was taken aback. "Yes... I asked him to help me sell the things. What's wrong?"

Lou Xiao remained silent. Since the goods were about to be sold, there was no point in him saying anything more; it would only make him seem like he was trying to take credit.

Lu Lingbai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that the person his sister was talking about who had added things out of misplaced affection was actually Lou Xiao!

"Don't worry, all the money from selling the items will go to A-Jian!" It's not like the older brother would try to take it from his younger sister.

Lou Xiao nodded. "That's good."

He paused, then asked, "Is A-Jian alright? I'd like to see her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Sijian walked out from the garden next door. "What do you want from me?"

Lou Xiao was caught off guard and stood there stunned until Lu Sijian urged him again before he came back to his senses.

He thought she wouldn't want to see him. "I didn't even know you were from a gifted youth program."

"You...don't you have anything to say to me?" Lou Xiao's voice was husky.

Lu Lingbai: "..." How strange, why is everyone coming to talk to my sister? Do they want to hear auspicious words?

Lu Sijian thought for a moment, "I don't think I have any more. I reminded you before to be careful when making friends... Um, have you been to the old house?"

[Since you already contributed something, I'll be kind enough to do it one more time.]

[Sigh, why did you insist on being a sucker? Putting Sister Ye and that brainless Lou Changling under the same roof is bound to cause big trouble.]

"I suggest you go and take a look." After saying this, Lu Sijian turned and went into the living room.

Lou Xiao frowned. Did she already know about him taking in Aunt Ye?

Lu Lingbai realized that he had subtly reminded Lou Xiao before, but the other party did not seem to have listened.

"I haven't seen Uncle Changling much lately. What's he been up to?"

Lou Xiao came to his senses and realized that he hadn't paid attention to Lou Changling for a while.

-

Lu Sijian quickly found out what Lou Changling had been busy with lately.

The other party is currently raising funds, claiming to invest in entertainment industry projects with a guaranteed profit.

These were all inspirations he got from Sheng Lan and the others. If we're talking about using male beauty to make money from women, that's his forte.

Didn't you see that as soon as he coaxed people a little, all those women called him their male god and treated him like royalty?

Lou Changling dictated his insights to his assistant, who then compiled them into a booklet and distributed it to the newly signed young actors for study. He also commissioned a script based on his own story, which was to be made into a movie.

Lu Sijian was utterly shocked: "Has he gone mad?"

Lou Changling used to be quite eccentric, always boasting about the noble lineage of the Lou family, but he wasn't stupid either, and he wouldn't mess around with any investments.

Why are you suddenly so confident that you're going to do a project that's obviously doomed to fail?

Are you anxious about having too much money to burn?

Xia Youyou sighed on the phone, "Who knows? The problem is that he actually managed to raise quite a bit of money."

Lou Changling had many female confidantes. He called them one by one, using sweet words to coax them, and they actually managed to get them to take out their money.

Lu Sijian: "..."

After thinking about it, she decided to call Sheng Yunchao.

Sheng Lan is one of Lou Changling's most devoted fans. In the original novel, after Sheng Yunchao's death, she was so flattered that even the Sheng family gave up their position.

She couldn't help but suspect that Sheng Lan had also invested.

-

As soon as Sheng Yunchao entered the living room, Sheng Lan suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"Yun Chao, you're back?" She warmly welcomed her nephew to sit on the sofa and brought him tea and snacks.

Sheng Yunchao slowly sat down, propped his elbow on his hand, and looked at her. "Auntie, is something good happening to you lately?"

Seeing his calm expression, Sheng Lan guessed that he must be in a good mood recently, since the Wu family had all suffered misfortune.

"Yun Chao, it's like this, I have a project with excellent prospects and a considerable return... It's about a fitness training camp! Don't you work out every day and have eight-pack abs? Could you invest in me?"

Sheng Yunchao: "A fitness program? That's great! How much funding do you need?"

Sheng Lan was overjoyed. "Really? I want three hundred million!"

"Auntie, don't inflate pork prices," Sheng Yunchao said with a smile. "Do you think Lou Changling's pig is worth 300 million?"

Sheng Lan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. "How did you know it was Brother Changling's project?"

Uncle Ling sighed. Why was his young lady so forgetful of everything?

"No way, how could you call Brother Changling a pig? That's too much! How can you talk to your elders like that? Besides, what's wrong with being a little chubby? He's cute too!" Sheng Lan was getting angry. He was so disrespectful!

Sheng Yunchao looked at her strangely, not understanding her thought process. "Being chubby is cute too?"

He tossed the printed photo onto the coffee table. "Is this kind of thing cute too?"

Sheng Lan picked it up and glanced at it a few times, and was instantly disgusted by how ugly it was.

She put the photo down, saying, "You deliberately took an ugly picture, I won't fall for it. Brother Changling said he'll join the training camp too, and he'll lose weight!"

The male god has been slim for most of his life; he must have just been playing around with being fat! After all, he's so disciplined!

Sheng Yunchao: "What else did Lou Changling say to you? He said he's been wandering for half his life and wants to get married and settle down, right?"

Sheng Lan looked at him warily, "You found out all that? You're not trying to say I'm delusional, are you?"

Sheng Yunchao: "..."

“I’ve already told you not to inflate pork prices.” Sheng Yunchao stood up. “The one who’s delusional is Lou Changling. He’s not good enough for my beautiful aunt.”

Sheng Lan muttered in dissatisfaction, "Then why aren't you giving me the money?"

Uncle Ling was shocked. Had the young lady been bewitched? The young master had made it so clear, yet she was still completely devoted to Lou Changling.

Sheng Yunchao wasn't surprised. Since his long-term offensive with ugly photos hadn't worked, Sheng Lan was even more love-struck than he had imagined.

"Sure, let's talk about it when Lou Changling loses weight." He gave up trying to persuade him; people can't learn by being taught, but they can learn by doing.

Sheng Lan was furious. How could he be like this? "That little vixen outside asked you for 100 million, and you gave it to her with just one phone call. What's the difference between you and me!"

Sheng Yunchao ignored her.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know who that person is. Isn't it Lu Sijian? I'll tear her face to shreds!" Sheng Lan said angrily.

Sheng Yunchao stopped and turned to look at her. "Who told you that?"

His tone was gentle, and he even had a smile on his face.

Sheng Lan felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I... I don't remember."

Seeing Sheng Yunchao raise an eyebrow, she hurriedly said, "I think I heard it a few days ago when we were drinking. Should I go and inquire about it again?"

Uncle Ling: "..."

That's how quickly he admitted defeat; no wonder he's the young lady of the family.
