After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

The living room was unusually quiet.

Everyone was bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

Why did Miss leave instead of Aunt Ye?

Aunt Ye gritted her teeth in anger. She hadn't expected Lu Sijian to produce that agreement. They had clearly agreed that no one else would know about it.

As expected, a dog that bites doesn't bark; she had underestimated the other party.

This isn't over yet. It's just running away from home, right? You're acting like anyone can't do that!

"Second Young Master, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I caused you and Miss to have a falling out." Aunt Ye wiped away her tears.

"I can't let you and the young lady and young master damage your relationship, so I'm resigning voluntarily, and I don't want any compensation."

As she spoke, she turned to leave, but a figure blocked her way.

Sheng Yunchao looked up: "Really? Are you sure you don't want the million-dollar compensation? That's great, let's sign it now while the lawyer is here."

Mrs. Ye was taken aback. What? So much money!

Lu Lingbai looked up at him, puzzled. Even if he wanted to fight for compensation for Sister Ye, he knew that it was impossible to get millions.

Sheng Yunchao solemnly instructed the lawyer to print the agreement, then took the agreement and glanced at Sister Ye.

Aunt Ye looked away.

"I apologize for presumptuously taking over; the decision is yours, Second Young Master."

He placed the agreement in front of Lu Lingbai, gave Aunt Ye a meaningful look, and then got up and left.

The claim of a million-dollar compensation is obviously untrue, but for Lu Lingbai to maintain this level of support, two or three hundred thousand is possible.

Lu Sijian's inner thoughts suggest that it's most likely true that Sister Ye will eventually marry Lu Ting.

However, given the scheming nature of Sister Ye, true love is unlikely; it can only be for money.

He casually made a bluff, and sure enough, it revealed something fishy.

It's good that Lu Lingbai saw it, but if he didn't... this can be considered as planting a thread between the two of them.

How can a greedy person remain without desires when faced with enormous temptations?

Lu Lingbo looked down at the agreement and suddenly said, "Sister Ye, why don't you move to the back of the mountain?"

That was the first place where Sister Ye lived when she came to the Lu family.

Back then, Mrs. Ye was illiterate and couldn't even speak Mandarin well, let alone go out with the Lu family to entertain guests and interact with the elite circles like she does now.

All she knows how to do is grow vegetables. She says that earning such a high salary and growing vegetables in such a beautiful yard is like living the life of a god.

But she was not satisfied after less than a month. She said that people always laughed at her and hinted that she wanted to switch to working in the kitchen.

Actually, she wasn't qualified to be a cook. Her father initially disagreed, but her younger sister said she wanted to eat hometown food, so he decided to appoint her as the cook.

But she didn't seem to do a good job either.

Lu Lingbai always remembered Ye Sao's kindness because when he was a child, he was hungry in the countryside, and Ye Sao cooked him a bowl of noodles.

She truly cared for him deeply, remembering all his preferences, acting more like a kind elder than a servant.

But that doesn't mean he's willing to acknowledge her as his mother.

Although his mother's life was short, she gave him the best maternal love, and he did not need to draw maternal love from unrelated people.

Aunt Ye looked shocked and aggrieved: "Second Young Master, I..."

“Of course, if you don’t agree, after you sign and get paid, I’ll arrange for someone to send you back to your hometown.” Lu Lingbo held the agreement in his hand and looked up at her.

He suddenly wanted to test Sister Ye's attitude.

Aunt Ye felt a little panicked; her initial certainty turned into uncertainty.

How could Lu Lingbai let her sign that document? It's worth millions! He's so rich, can't he compensate her on Lu Sijian's behalf?

The crucial point is that he actually wanted to send her back to her hometown!

He clearly owns several properties in the city and has a company under his name, so arranging a place for her to live and a job wouldn't be a problem.

Aunt Ye said softly, "Second Young Master, how could I disappoint Miss? I'm willing to go to the vegetable garden."

She couldn't just be sent back to her hometown like this; she had to endure it.

As long as the person is still alive, the bond will never truly be broken.

Lu Lingbai had long been used to her care and was very dependent on her, so it was impossible for him to keep growing vegetables in the small garden forever.

Lu Lingbo nodded, turned his wheelchair, and left.

Aunt Ye said she wanted to get treatment for her daughter, but when he said he would send her back to her hometown, she showed no joy or longing to see her daughter immediately.

Instead, he glanced at the agreement in his hand several times, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

Considering what my sister said in her heartfelt words, that she only cared about taking care of her daughter until her death, it sounds quite touching.

But if he put himself in his daughter's shoes, he would only feel a chill run down his spine.

-

Lu Sijian had only walked a short distance from the villa when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Young Miss!" Kong Can hurriedly caught up with her, "Where are you going? Let me see you off."

Lu Sijian: "No need."

Kong Can: "Young Master is very worried about you. Even if you want to live outside, you should let me arrange for someone to take care of you..."

"Young Miss, this way!" The driver, wearing white gloves, greeted her eagerly.

Kong Can frowned as he was interrupted. "How did you get in? This isn't a place for soliciting customers."

He could tell that the uniform the other person was wearing belonged to a luxury car rental company.

Wang Ma was taken aback. "It's you."

She recognized him as the driver from the hotel that day.

The driver rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.

"Isn't it because the young lady paid me a month's salary that I have to be on call 24/7? The young lady texted me this morning to come over, so I've been waiting around here the whole time."

He has a strong sense of professional ethics; he would never slack off after receiving money!

Kong Can: "But..."

The driver had already opened the car door, and Lu Sijian was just about to get in.

A long, slender hand reached out and shielded her head from the impact.

She looked up and saw the young man's smiling, almond-shaped eyes.

"Senior, could I hitch a ride?" Sheng Yunchao asked politely. "The driver had to leave before I arrived, so could you please give me a ride?"

Lu Sijian: "...Okay."

[Anyway, it's your money and you rented the car, so you can ride it whenever you want.]

Sheng Yunchao said calmly, "Assistant Kong should be relieved now."

Kong Can stopped in his tracks: "...With Young Master Sheng accompanying Miss, I have nothing to worry about."

Strangely, he had followed Lu Lingjun and had dealt with Sheng Yunchao a few times. In his memory, the other party had always been very gentle and polite, without any airs.

Why does he feel an inexplicable sense of oppression today, making him break out in a cold sweat?

Kong Can then turned his gaze to the car.

Lu Sijian was speechless.

What are you looking at me for? Do you expect me to join your side?

[The original "I" did warn you that Sheng Yunchao wasn't as simple as he seemed, but it seems you didn't really listen.]

[But speaking of which, what's wrong with Sheng Yunchao today? He's never been this shameless before.]

[Could it be that you've had another business conflict with Lou Xiao recently? Are you trying to make up for your business setbacks in your love life?]

【You've got the wrong idea! Lou Xiao's away on a business trip while you're still wandering around. You'll be crying when Lou Xiao becomes the richest man in the world.】

Sheng Yunchao lowered his eyes and smiled politely and handsomely. So Lou Xiao would become the richest man?

Since that's the case, then he might as well snatch all the projects that Lou Xiao has his eye on recently.

However, Lu Sijian may have misunderstood; she had not suffered any setbacks in business.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao has recently suffered several setbacks.
