After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Sheng Yunchao's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, then he turned his gaze to He Yun'er, "And you?"

He Yun'er took a step back and said stubbornly, "What does this have to do with me?"

Xia Youyou: "How can it not be your business? You've already signed the investment contract, trying to act like a big shot by investing 100 million. The question is, can you even raise that much? Now you haven't suffered any losses, and you can disregard the contract."

Lou Xiao has promised that all investment contracts will be voided and the funds will be returned to their original source.

He Yun'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had acted impulsively when signing the contract, and she definitely wouldn't have been able to come up with the money if asked.

Her family isn't wealthy enough to give her a hundred million yuan casually.

However, He Yun'er would never admit to this, otherwise her image as a rich heiress who is extremely pampered by her parents would collapse.

"Who says I can't come up with it? It's only 100 million, it's not a lot." He Yun'er wouldn't forget that Xia Youyou was also a minor internet celebrity.

The other party's number of fans is incomparable to mine. Who knows if they will take the opportunity to say something reckless online and try to attack me?

"Just because you don't have money doesn't mean everyone else is like you, taking a hundred million so seriously. I have high hopes for Uncle's project. But let me put it another way: it was that maid who misused poppy shells, not Uncle. Uncle is the victim. Once things are cleared up, can't he continue with this project?"

After saying that, she felt very clever and subtly supported Lou Changling.

After all, Lou Changling has already signed new talent and spent money to hire professional screenwriters to polish the film script. Including this investor appreciation event, all these investments are real money.

If the project fails like this, the initial investment will be completely wasted.

Lou Xiao certainly couldn't bear to see Lou Changling lose everything... If he got involved in this project, wouldn't it make him seem like he was sharing the burden?

Thinking this, He Yun'er looked at Lou Xiao and said, "Cousin, I've already signed the contract. I'm going to invest anyway. I won't be like those people who jump to conclusions at the drop of a hat."

Xia Youyou was completely dumbfounded. Where did this weirdo come from?

She had never seen anyone actually jump into a pit on their own initiative.

Lu Sijian's voice was cool: "Youyou, stop talking now, or you'll blame us for stopping her from making money."

[What a brat! If her parents knew, they'd beat her to a pulp.]

[But given her confidence, she probably doesn't have any financial worries. Could it be that this trip was planned in advance with her family?]

I don't know about others, but Old Madam He was probably quite happy for her to marry into the Lou family.

Sheng Yunchao lowered her eyes and chuckled softly. She was really smart; she grasped the key point immediately.

The He family has been quite active lately, so he inevitably investigated them one by one.

He Yun'er's parents are shrewd. Seeing that top internet celebrities earn hundreds of millions of yuan a year from live-streaming sales, they thought it was a good thing for He Yun'er to be an internet celebrity. The whole family actively cooperated with her to create the persona of a pampered rich heiress.

Anyway, you can get the money back once it's given away, and you can rent jewelry and bags, so it doesn't take much effort.

With their traffic growing rapidly, the family was just waiting to monetize it quickly, as it would be much easier to earn money this way than working themselves to the bone to run a company.

They probably saw He Yun'er as a cash cow, and when He Yun'er expressed her desire to marry Lou Xiao, her family surprisingly didn't object.

They were very proactive in offering advice and suggestions; even He Yun'er's grandmother went to see Madam He.

When Madam He found out, she naturally expressed her support. She used to think Mu Liangyue was good because she was comparing her to Lu Sijian.

Ever since they learned that Mu Liangyue had seduced her grandson, the He family has done a lot of trouble to separate the two.

Madam He strongly approved of He Yun'er marrying into the Lou family, believing it would strengthen family ties and benefit both her son and the He family.

The entire He family is now making shrewd plans, dreaming of He Yun'er marrying into the Lou family and the whole family becoming rich and powerful.

Sheng Yunchao: "Since some people don't know how to be grateful, then let it go. After all, we must allow for biodiversity."

He Yun'er's face immediately turned ugly.

Sheng Yunchao didn't even bother to look at her. He turned to Lu Sijian with a smile on his lips. "But our Sheng family tradition doesn't allow us to be ungrateful. So, would you allow me to treat you two ladies to a simple meal?"

Sheng Lan was taken aback for a moment, "Ah, I should be the one treating."

Xia Youyou didn't expect to be included. "Me? I think I'll pass."

"How could we not go? You and Miss Lu made a special trip to help everyone," Uncle Ling quickly said.

"If anyone should be treating, it should be me. After all the trouble we've caused today, I should be the one apologizing to you all," Lou Xiao retorted.

He looked at Lu Sijian, realizing it had been a long time since he had eaten with her.

After a moment, he looked away and said calmly, "Mr. Sheng, I'm sorry to trouble you to treat me to dinner today."

Uncle Ling: "I saw that everyone must be starving after all this time, so the young master told me to order the food in advance, so it can be served as soon as we arrive. We can add more dishes as we eat, and it only takes less than ten minutes to drive there."

A qualified butler must be able to handle affairs and provide timely assistance to the young master.

Could Lou Xiao's assistant be as efficient as him?

Lou Xiao took a deep breath and looked at Lu Sijian, “...but the two ladies don’t seem to really want to go.”

Lu Sijian would never embarrass him in front of outsiders, especially not in front of Sheng Yunchao.

Sheng Lan: "Go ahead, go ahead, don't you guys give me any face?"

She glanced at Xia Youyou, then fixed her gaze on Lu Sijian, as if to say, "Hurry up and agree, I'm starving!"

Lu Sijian didn't insist at all: "Okay, thank you very much then."

"Ah Jian!" Lou Xiao couldn't help but call out.

Lu Sijian did not turn around.

Even a fool knows which option to choose, right? I'm not some fool who has to wait for you to slowly book the restaurant.

[They had everything planned out in advance, while yours was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. In terms of sincerity, Sheng Yunchao is definitely more sincere.]

Lou Xiao's lips were taut, and his whole body was stiff. He wanted to explain that he had just been in a terrible predicament, but he hadn't thought of these details.

A car drove up, and Lu Lingbo leaned out. "Ah Jian, you must be starving. I'll take you to eat right away."

Lou Xiao suddenly looked at Lu Lingbai, hesitating to speak.

Uncle Ling: "Our young master is preparing to thank Miss Lu and Miss Xia by inviting the two ladies to dinner."

Sheng Yunchao: "If you're free, Second Young Master, why don't we go together?"

Lu Lingbai smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Is that so? Then I'll gladly accept your offer."

He paused, somewhat puzzled. Why did Lou Xiao's face look so gloomy? But after what had happened, it was probably hard for the other party to be happy.

"Lou Xiao, don't be angry anymore," Lu Lingbo said dryly, trying to comfort him.

"Excuse me, Second Young Master, may I ride in your car?" After getting permission, Uncle Ling opened the passenger door and smiled as he turned on his phone's navigation.

Lou Xiao withdrew his gaze and took two steps back.

He remained standing there until both cars disappeared from sight.

“Cousin, I’m definitely going to stay with you.” He Yun’er hadn’t left yet. “It’s just a meal, what’s the big deal? I’ll go with you, cousin.”
