After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

No, we must prepare a public relations plan in time to prevent this from escalating and allowing public opinion to fester.

His mind raced, but he suppressed his thoughts for the time being and looked up at Lu Sijian.

"Jian, I received the news yesterday and rushed over here immediately..."

Lu Sijian had heard Wang Ma explain that Wang Ma had been worried all night because she hadn't come home and had stayed in the living room without daring to sleep.

Lu Lingjun returned home at three in the morning and, upon seeing Wang Ma, ultimately had his driver take her to the hospital.

She silently repeated Lu Lingjun's words to herself.

However, due to bad weather, the car broke down, and I couldn't arrive immediately.

The He family had already sent people to Yuncheng, going directly to the Lu Group to demand an explanation. That's why you returned to the company after learning I had been rescued.

[Not only that, but before I went to see He Jinhuan that morning, you even sent someone to pick up Lu Lingbai from this hospital. What a coincidence!]

[This was an incredibly busy day; I really didn't have time. It was truly tough.]

Lu Lingjun stopped talking, inexplicably feeling mocked and ridiculed.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you want to explain? I'd like to hear what Young Master Lu has been busy with." Xia Youyou's tone was aggressive.

In the past, when facing a high-quality heir to a wealthy family like Lu Lingjun, she would speak to him with gentle and tender words.

After all, one must play the long game and maintain a good image of being understanding and considerate.

Today, however, all she wants to do is tear the other party apart and demand answers, regardless of her image.

"What's your attitude?" The bodyguard couldn't help but step forward.

Lu Sijian couldn't stop Xia Youyou, so she could only stand up for her, "Why are you being so fierce?"

Lu Lingjun took a deep breath and dismissed the bodyguard. "You're right. No matter what, I shouldn't abandon A-Jian."

"I'm sorry, I made you suffer yesterday." Lu Lingjun looked at Lu Sijian.

Lin Yuxi had just received a phone call when she saw that the siblings seemed to be having a conflict, so she hurriedly walked over in her high heels.

"Miss, you've misunderstood! Young Master really is on his way here, but his car broke down on the way and he can't get a taxi for a while..."

Xia Youyou said expressionlessly, "That's quite a coincidence. I had the same thought when I encountered elective courses I didn't want to take in college. It was because my car broke down that I didn't want to go, but I would crawl to class for required major courses."

Yu-Sai Lam: "How can you compare them?"

"That's enough!" Lu Lingjun pursed his lips.

When his car broke down, he did secretly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that it was all preordained, and that it wasn't that he didn't want to go.

Xia Youyou's sarcasm exposed his excuse; he simply didn't want to go.

Mingming agreed that the marriage alliance would help the Lu family open up the capital market and gain huge benefits; it would also prevent Lu Lingbai from being held accountable and quell the incident.

But Lu Sijian was determined to take a desperate gamble, easily provoking an even bigger disaster.

Lu Lingjun didn't want to always put out her fires. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if she would be terrified if she found out that no one was backing her up.

If such a scenario were to occur, he might feel a sense of relief.

He let things develop unchecked. While it can't be said that he had malicious intent, he certainly didn't have any good intentions.

“Jian, I know you don’t approve of what I did, but back then He Jinhuan was willing to give up billions to marry you, and I really thought he was someone I could entrust with my life.”

Xia Youyou: "So a few billion would make you sell your sister?"

Lu Sijian: "..."

[This is too much! Lu Lingjun will really hold a grudge against you!]

Lu Lingjun's forehead veins throbbed, but he endured it and said, "Father might think so too."

"Really? I don't believe it. Uncle Lu wouldn't do that. Are you sure he said he agreed to the marriage?" Lian Buman walked in.

She was dressed in a smart suit, exuding the aura of a powerful businesswoman, and was followed by a group of elite secretaries.

Lu Lingjun didn't expect that even Bu Man would join in the fun, and the other party's sharp questioning left him speechless.

Lu Ting did not explicitly express his agreement to the marriage alliance.

He only said that he would leave this matter to Lu Sijian to consider.

However, Lu Lingjun keenly sensed the subtlety in the other party's attitude.

Her father doted on her younger sister without ever asking why, nor did he ever consult Lu Sijian about everything.

Whenever any consideration of self-interest is involved, the father will always choose his sister over any potential gain; this has been proven countless times in the past.

This was the first time the other party had faced a choice between interests and his sister, and instead of choosing his sister, he let her make the choice herself.

This attitude seemed to be sending him a signal that his sister could be sacrificed for the sake of the family's interests.

But at the same time, he dared not gamble, wondering if his father was far away abroad and lacked information, or if he was too exhausted from illness to react...

Lu Lingjun has been managing the domestic business for years, seemingly wielding great power, but in reality, his control over the company has never surpassed that of Lu Tingqu.

The other party's investments have always been insightful and accurate, and even if he wanted to seize power, his abilities were ultimately limited.

Lu Sijian glanced at Lu Lingjun in surprise.

Why aren't you refuting this? Hurry up and loudly refute it!

Lu Lingjun lowered his eyes and thought, what is there to refute? Do I want to be slapped in the face by you and my father after I refute you?

Lian Buman also didn't understand the concept of knowing when to stop. "I heard that Uncle Lu is coming back. I wonder what he will think when he finds out that his precious daughter was almost sold."

"..." Lu Sijian was truly impressed.

[Is this the power of the villainous female supporting character group? My god, you two are really too fierce, daring to tear anyone apart!]

Lu Lingjun must be furious. He's been humiliated; he's lost all face and dignity.

Even Lin Yuxi couldn't find the words to refute, and could only look at Lu Sijian pleadingly.

Lu Sijian: "...Big brother, they were just joking, don't mind them."

Lu Lingjun looked away. "They were just standing up for you, I understand."

Lu Sijian was very satisfied. "Then I'll go back to my ward first, and I won't entertain you any longer."

Lu Lingjun paused for a moment, then said, “Jian, we should be lenient with the He family.”

Lin Yuxi can say this: "He Zongyuan has been suppressing the Lu Group's business like a madman, and the young master has been under tremendous pressure..."

Lu Sijian understood what they meant; if it weren't for this, perhaps he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to see her.

“Big brother, a large part of the Lu Group belongs to me.” She paused, then smiled. “You may not know, but Father made a will a long time ago and had it notarized. If anything happens to him, all his shares will be inherited by me to ensure my absolute control over the company.”

Lu Lingjun's pupils contracted slightly.

He knew that Lu Ting had his will notarized, but he never expected it to be like this!

Lu Sijian: "So I don't need to compromise for anything. This is the way out my father gave me."

Since this company is mine, why can't they fight for me?

Lu Lingjun had never been so embarrassed. Looking at his sister's calm eyes, he felt like a clown.

He turned to leave, but almost bumped into Xia Youyou.

There was no affection in the other person's eyes, only disgust and impatience.

Does she not even have any value to be exploited?
