After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

When Lu Sijian woke up the next day, it was still raining outside the window.

It was another gloomy, rainy day.

She was momentarily disoriented, unsure of where she was.

In her dream, she felt like she was still a child, visiting a large house with several courtyards with her father.

However, they were not allowed to go in.

The winter rain was damp and cold, and the wind was so cold it almost chilled you to the bone. Yet she still had to sit under the drafty eaves, wearing only a thin gauze dress, and play the erhu.

After pulling for a long time, my fingers were almost frozen stiff, when the person inside finally sent someone to deliver the money. However, they suggested that the gauze skirt was not suitable and that I should change into a cheongsam next time.

It got even colder after I changed into a cheongsam. This time I couldn't even wear tights underneath because they weren't aesthetically pleasing.

Lu Sijian frowned. What a strange dream! It was probably a combination of her childhood experience of playing the erhu on the street and her experience of attending a banquet.

Perhaps the memory of being cold as a child is too vivid, because even though she is warm all over now, she can still have such a nonsensical dream.

A dim light shone from behind the screen next to them, and someone peeked out from behind the screen.

"Young Miss, you're awake?" Wang Ma hurriedly put down what she was holding.

She turned on all the lights, and the room instantly became bright, even the air felt fresher.

Lu Sijian noticed that Wang Ma's eyes were a little red and swollen. "Wang Ma, have you been crying?"

Wang Ma couldn't help but wipe away her tears, "Miss, you've really gone too far. Such beautiful hands, now they're like this, who knows what kind of aftereffects they might have."

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't stop crying. Among girls of the same age, who had as many scars as their young lady?

"I'm fine, don't cry," Lu Sijian comforted her.

Wang Ma: "How could it be nothing? Miss, your old injuries will ache when it's damp and cold. Don't think I don't know."

The recent continuous rain and dampness have caused Lu Sijian's healed wounds to ache, making it difficult for her to sleep at night.

There was a knock on the door, and Sheng Yunchao pushed it open and entered. "Ah Jian, you're awake?"

Xia Youyou followed him in. "Sijian, let me help you wash up."

The two people escorted Lu Sijian to the restroom.

Sheng Yunchao lifted his foot slightly, but restrained himself and stood still without following.

Since Wang Ma didn't come last night, he took the initiative to take care of Lu Sijian's brushing of her teeth and washing of her face.

Lu Sijian felt drowsy after dinner, probably because she was too stressed that day and had lost too much blood.

Sheng Yunchao was first-rate at serving people, gentle and meticulous. By the time he finished, Lu Sijian had already fallen asleep in his arms.

She wasn't on guard, but Sheng Yunchao couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and couldn't resist wanting to kiss her eyes, nose, and cheeks...

However, he could only think about it in his mind and could not put it into action.

Two minutes later, he suddenly stood up and called Xia Youyou, who was lingering at the door, inside.

Xia Youyou was wondering if Sheng Yunchao was deliberately dawdling...

Seeing him come out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she decided to accept that he was a gentleman.

Unlike the men she had met before, no matter how gentlemanly they were in public, they would inevitably touch her inappropriately in private and had no idea what respect meant.

She also encountered a weirdo who, after meeting her only twice, demanded that she sleep with him to prove her love for him.

Xia Youyou thought about how she had to endure some strange things in order to marry into a wealthy family, and just thinking about it made her feel like she should call the police to get a work injury report.

Now she's come to terms with it; the returns from doing this aren't proportional to the effort, so she might as well make money on her own.

-

In the afternoon, Xia Youyou had to leave the hospital.

Lu Sijian was a little tired after lying down all day and wanted to move around, so I accompanied her downstairs.

Sheng Yunchao's bodyguards followed at a distance, without disturbing the two's conversation.

“Ah Jane.”

Hearing the voice, Lu Sijian looked up calmly and said, "Big brother, you're here."

Lu Lingjun walked hurriedly, followed by his think tank. He looked tired, but when he saw his sister, he seemed to show some warmth.

But that's just an appearance.

Only upon closer inspection did I realize that it was nothing more than a carefully crafted facade.

Xia Youyou was about to leave when she saw this, so she paused and turned back.

"Young Master, what a coincidence." She walked towards Lu Lingjun and smiled slightly at him.

Lu Lingjun nodded to her: "Hello."

Polite yet distant, not particularly warm.

Xia Youyou: "I've always admired Young Master. After all, he's one of the best in our generation, so it's natural for everyone to admire him..."

Lu Lingjun frowned. He had encountered women taking the initiative to show their affection before, so hearing this familiar opening made him a little impatient.

"Excuse me." The bodyguard next to him received a look from him and reached out to stop him.

Lu Sijian sensed something was wrong: "Youyou, if you have something to do, you should leave quickly."

She wanted to get Xia Youyou away to avoid running into Lu Lingjun.

In the novel, Xia Youyou incurred Lu Lingjun's dislike because she claimed to be his fiancée. Both Lu Lingjun and Zhu Jinming forced Xia Youyou to leave Yuncheng and marry an old widow in the countryside…

[Won't we still be forced to follow the storyline? Haven't Xia Youyou's experiences already been altered?]

Lu Lingjun looked at Xia Youyou, his eyes turning to disgust.

He would naturally pay attention to Lu Sijian's social circle, and knowing that she was close to Xia Youyou, he had naturally investigated Xia Youyou.

Knowing that the other party is single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder and enjoys hooking up with rich second-generation heirs...

He wouldn't mind someone like that being friends with Lu Sijian, but if that person dared to covet him, he would feel disgusted.

Lu Lingjun abruptly interrupted Xia Youyou: "Sorry, I don't have time right now."

His tone was cold, and he didn't seem to care much about maintaining his manners or upbringing.

Xia Youyou's smile remained unchanged: "Really? Then the young master is indeed quite busy."

She paused, then changed the subject, "I wonder what the young master is so busy with. He didn't even have time to show up when his own sister was in danger. Is he busy signing a cooperation agreement with the He family? Yes, today was the agreed time for you to sign the agreement."

Xia Youyou was still smiling, but her tone was sharp and ruthless.

Lu Lingjun's expression changed slightly. "How did you know?"

For a moment he suspected that Lu Sijian had said it, but family scandals should not be aired in public. What good would it do him to say such a thing?

"Why are you looking at Sijian?" Xia Youyou raised an eyebrow. "You said it yourself on the phone, and the netizens all heard it."

Lu Sijian sighed silently to herself.

[Sigh, I told you you were stupid. He Jinhuan was blatantly trying to sow discord between us siblings, and you still fell for it.]

[Now look what happened, it's been broadcast live.]

Right now, the internet is only focused on condemning He Jinhuan and demanding a thorough investigation. If this public outcry doesn't die down, sooner or later someone will uncover your past of selling your sister for personal gain.

The benefits he gained from his "sister-complex" persona back then will likely come back to haunt him soon, won't they?

If competitors seize on this point and attack the discord between the Lu siblings, your image may be ruined, but the impact on the company's stock price is far more serious.

Lu Lingjun's expression turned cold.

He hadn't expected things to be this serious. He had also heard a little about the outcry online, and it was indeed quite serious.
