After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian had noticed that the staff member's figure looked familiar, and now that the other party had spoken, she was even more eager to avoid him.

Lou Xiao watched as the person quickly retreated and dodged, but in the end, he withdrew his hand.

Lou Changling looked flustered. "Ah Xiao, what brings you here?"

He felt suffocated. He had just been thinking of using Lou Xiao as a pretext, but the other party suddenly appeared without warning.

Lou Changling also wanted to go down the steps, but his obesity made it difficult for him to move. He could only force a smile and ask, "Why don't you come up on stage and say hello to everyone?"

Lou Xiao didn't speak, but instead explained to Lu Sijian, "You asked me to come and find out what's going on, so I came."

Lu Sijian looked at his staff uniform and said, "...Mr. Lou, you must be joking."

[Nonsense, I never told you to dress like that and sneak in!]

Isn't what you're saying misleading people? They might think I asked you to do it.

On stage, Lou Changling was filled with shock and anger. Well, he knew Lu Sijian was deliberately playing tricks!

Lou Xiao looked up at Lou Changling and calmed down.

With a push of his hand, he nimbly leaped onto the stage.

He Yun'er greeted him with a smile: "Cousin."

Lou Xiao didn't even look at her. After taking the microphone, he glanced at Lou Changling, who was trying hard to put on a smile.

A few days ago, he made a special trip to the old house to visit Lou Changling and Sister Ye.

To be honest, he had his suspicions about Lou Changling's recent weight gain, until he saw Lou Changling put on an apron and cook a table of dishes by himself, and then he realized that he was overthinking it.

Aunt Ye did not intentionally let Lou Changling overeat every day. It was Lou Changling's dedication to studying cooking that gradually led to his weight gain.

At the dinner table, Lou Changling talked about how his hobby changed from literature and classical music to cooking because he felt that literature and music were completely useless.

As a man, he also has ambition and aspirations, and wants to build his own career instead of being a useless figurehead.

Recalling what Lou Changling said that day, Lou Xiao finally softened.

"Actually, my uncle has been studying cooking lately. I've tried it for everyone, and it's really delicious," Lou Xiao said, glancing at Lu Sijian from afar.

Lu Sijian thought for a moment.

Why was he staring at me like that? Was he trying to tell me that he saw Lou Changling cook with his own eyes?

So here's the question: Do you want to eat more after you've finished?

"Is Uncle's cooking really that delicious?" He Yun'er asked with a smile, showing her support.

Lou Xiao ignored her greeting, but answered confidently, "It's delicious. I want to eat more after I finish it."

He Yun'er was overjoyed: "Then I'll be in for a treat from now on."

She instantly felt that her investment of 100 million yuan was very worthwhile, extremely worthwhile!

That way, I can have family dinners with Lou Xiao more often in the future. Over time, I don't believe Lou Xiao will not see how good I am!

Lu Sijian lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Lou Xiao withdrew his gaze and continued, "However, investing should be a very cautious matter, and it has nothing to do with whether my uncle's cooking skills are good or not. I hope everyone can consider this carefully."

Regardless of the circumstances, using it as a gimmick to attract others to the event is wrong.

If an investor's investment is based on trust in Lou Changling and optimism about the project, then they would not object to such an investment.

"If you blindly follow the trend, you're bound to make a mistake and lose everything." Lou Xiao emphasized, hoping to intimidate some people.

But if someone still insists on investing, he won't stop them.

We're all adults here; we should all have our own judgment. He's said all he has to say and won't take any more risks.

The audience erupted in commotion. They had initially thought Lou Xiao was there to support Lou Changling, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Those who were timid immediately backed down. They had originally thought that Lou Xiao and the Lou Group could be trusted, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Some people have a different interpretation of Lou Xiao's words. After all, Lou Changling and Lou Xiao are uncle and nephew, so it's impossible for Lou Changling not to support his uncle's business...

They took Lou Xiao's words as a test, and became even more proactive.

Lou Changling was still very dissatisfied. He could have raised more funds, but now most of the people had given up. He had worked hard to organize this thank-you party, which was both expensive and laborious, and it was simply not worth it.

But he couldn't afford to fall out with Lou Xiao, so he could only glare angrily at the instigator.

Then I saw that Lu Sijian had gone on stage again at some point.

"Stop right there! What are you doing?" Lou Changling suppressed his anger. "You want to sneak a snack? Sorry, that's a perk only for our SVIP customers."

He Yun'er: "You're not trying to create a foodie persona by being attracted to food, are you? Do you think that's cute at your age?"

Hmph, in the end, isn't it just about attracting Lou Xiao's attention?

Do you think no one can see through your little tricks? How shameless.

Lu Sijian ignored her, instead reaching out to lift the plate off the food cart, picking up a piece of pastry, crushing it, and smelling it.

"What are you doing?" He Yun'er was taken aback. "You don't think there's poison in it, do you?"

"Yes, it's poisoned, don't eat it." Lu Sijian raised her hand and poured the entire plate of pastries into the trash can next to the food cart.

Lou Changling was so angry he almost fainted; this was practically a provocation!

"Ah Jian!" Lou Xiao pulled the food cart away, stopping Lu Sijian from ruining the remaining snacks. He frowned. "Calm down, your uncle made these himself."

He suspected that Lu Sijian mistakenly believed that it was Sister Ye who did it.

"Security, arrest her right now!" He Yun'er screamed.

Lu Sijian jumped off the stage and turned to leave.

[A bunch of idiots, they're all insane! I actually believed your lies.]

If even pastries contain trace amounts of poppy shells, how could there be no problem with the food?

Since you all like to eat so much, then eat more; it won't kill you.

Seeing several security guards chasing after them, Lu Lingbai hurriedly stood up and spread his arms to block Lu Sijian, saying, "What are you doing? It's just a plate of pastries, I'll pay for it!"

Although Xia Youyou didn't quite understand why Lu Sijian wanted to destroy the pastries, she unconditionally stood by her.

She rushed forward abruptly, "Why are you making such a big fuss? Is there really something wrong?"

"Nonsense!" Lou Changling was furious. They were actually trying to shift the blame. "What could be wrong with the pastries I made myself?"

Lou Xiao frowned as he looked at Lu Sijian. "Ah Jian, you've really misunderstood. Your uncle would never have any bad intentions."

Sheng Lan felt like her brain couldn't keep up. How could there be such a twist in this story? Who should she believe now?

"Aunt, what are you daydreaming about? Do you really still want to eat that poisoned pastry?" Sheng Yunchao said as she got up and walked over.

Lou Xiao's gaze froze, and his expression gradually became serious. Sheng Yunchao had actually come too?

He subconsciously looked behind the other person; if he remembered correctly, Lu Sijian seemed to have come from that direction before.

Lou Changling was so angry he jumped up and down, "Sheng Yunchao, don't slander me! The pastries weren't poisoned!"

He's so angry he could die!
