After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Sheng Yunchao spoke calmly and unhurriedly, yet inexplicably possessed a certain persuasiveness.

The scene was completely silent; everyone remained quiet.

Even Zhao Ke, who wanted to defend Mu Liangyue, couldn't find a reason to do so.

Sheng Yunchao's voice was cold, "You're offering a saint's heart to the devil, don't you think you're ridiculous?"

Mu Liangyue cried even harder, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "I'm sorry."

It turns out that all the trouble originated from the money she wired.

But that's not what she meant at all; she just felt sorry for the Lu family!

Mu Liangyue cried with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful. Through her teary eyes, she looked at Lu Sijian and said, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

The stares of those around her frightened her, as if she had committed some heinous crime.

She grabbed Lu Sijian's hand as if it were a lifeline.

Miss Lu is so gentle. No matter what happened before, she would always comfort me gently on the surface. Surely she'll understand me this time too, right?

Lu Sijian's thoughts drifted somewhat.

At this moment, she probably really wanted to hear me say, "You did nothing wrong," right?

But I don't want to say it.

She suddenly sighed, "Now that you know you were wrong, don't do such foolish things again. Kindness has its limits; you can't just show sympathy to everyone."

Mu Liangyue paused for a moment, "But..."

"No buts." Lu Sijian pulled her hand away, her voice icy. "If you insist on sympathizing with the Lu family, then you're on the opposite side of me. From today onwards, we're no longer friends."

Mu Liangyue panicked completely and hurriedly tried to grab her hand, "Miss Lu..."

But she was pushed away. Lu Sijian left resolutely, without looking back.

Mu Liangyue's tears flowed even more fiercely. She turned to look at the Lu family members, and for the first time, she felt a strong sense of disgust.

"It's all your fault... I gave you 30, isn't that enough? Do you have to squeeze every last drop out of me before you're satisfied?"

That day, after the middle-aged woman introduced herself, she expressed her gratitude at length, saying that it was fortunate that she had wired the money, which allowed her family to finally catch their breath.

Mu Liangyue was very happy at the time, thinking that her efforts had been rewarded and that the other party had come to thank her.

Unexpectedly, they later made exorbitant demands, and it even escalated to the point where they want to smash cars for money.

She never expected anything in return from the Lu family, so why did they repay kindness with enmity?

"Did Mr. Lou really withdraw 300 million?" Sheng Yunchao glanced at the bodyguards carrying aluminum alloy briefcases and asked with a smile.

The eyes of the Lu family members immediately lit up; they really had brought 300 million.

Lu Yaoguo kicked Zhang Hehua hard. Zhang Hehua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly cried and hugged Mu Liangyue's leg.

“Miss Mu, we were wrong! Please forgive us! But my mother-in-law has cancer and needs surgery; she's counting on this money to save her life! We were forced into this situation, which is why we took this risk…”

"Liangyue!" Zhao Ke called out, wanting to warn Mu Liangyue not to fall for his tricks again.

Mu Liangyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Get up and speak."

Zhang Hehua hesitated for a moment, wiped away her tears, and got up.

Mu Liangyue then spoke, "I have no money. Don't come looking for me again. I won't give you a single penny."

Zhang Hehua looked at her with surprise and doubt.

Lu Yaoguo said in a sharp voice, "You dare to renege on your debt?"

"Yes, I'm just going to default on my debt. I didn't owe you anything in the first place," Mu Liangyue said, turning to leave.

Suddenly, a startled cry came from behind me, "Liangyue, get out of the way!"

Immediately, something hit her back, causing a sharp pain.

Mu Liangyue turned her head and looked at Lu's father in disbelief.

Mr. Lu's face was fierce. "You slut! You promised to pay, how dare you renege on your debt? Pay up now! Pay up! Pay up!"

He somehow acquired a steel rod and charged forward menacingly, ready to strike Mu Liangyue.

What he couldn't tolerate even more than not receiving the money was that the money he was about to get had vanished.

Lou Xiao, his face cold, grabbed the steel rod and shoved the old man to the ground, his tone leaving no room for argument, "Call the police!"

-

Lu Sijian was sitting in the car when she received a call from Lou Xiao.

Beside him, Sheng Yunchao, who was looking at documents on a tablet in the car, looked up and glanced over.

Lu Sijian instinctively covered her phone.

"Jian, where are you? Can I come find you?" The other person asked cautiously.

Lu Sijian: "No, don't come. I don't want to see you."

The person next to him is watching him intently.

Lou Xiao was silent for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's right, I didn't stand firmly on your side today, so it's understandable that you're angry."

Lu Sijian sat up abruptly, sensing that the situation was not good.

【I didn't mean to seduce him, how could you say that? Does he think I'm jealous of Mu Liangyue?】

[Godly Gold! Who cares what he thinks!]

Suddenly, she remembered something, opened the character affinity interface, and looked thoughtful.

Although Lou Xiao called her, there was no sign that his favorability towards her had increased.

She thought for a moment, then said in a very innocent tone, "I didn't mean for you to stand up for me. I just think that forgiving evil people is condoning crime."

"By the way, what did you do with those people from the Lu family?" she asked tentatively.

On the other end of the phone, Lou Xiao's voice was much more somber, "I called the police, why didn't Sheng Yunchao tell you?"

Beside him, Sheng Yunchao looked over with a half-smile.

How could he not have told her? He always answered Lu Sijian's questions without reservation.

"He said he didn't know what happened next, he only knew that the police had arrived. If you don't investigate the extortion of 300 million yuan, then you can only classify it as provoking trouble."

Lu Sijian lowered her gaze and said softly, "Brother Xiao, Liangyue is too foolish. I don't want them to bother Liangyue anymore."

After a long pause, Lou Xiao finally said, "Okay, I understand. They will be prosecuted for extortion."

[Beep, change in character's favorability detected, dislike value +1]

Upon hearing this announcement, Lu Sijian's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes instantly filled with a smile.

Great, it worked! It really does!

When her phone was suddenly taken away, Sheng Yunchao hung up the call for her and blocked Lou Xiao's number.

Now that we've already tested the waters, there's no need to contact them anymore.

The other party actually thought that Lu Sijian did it on purpose, with the aim of using someone else to kill her and send the Lu family members who threatened her to prison?

So all my efforts to clarify things today were wasted?

"There's no need to answer calls from such a idiot, I'm afraid I might catch something," Sheng Yunchao said seriously.

Lu Sijian: "..."

"Never mind, let him be."

She rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. Lou Xiao probably disliked people who were scheming, hypocritical, and naive.

So his favorability rating is reset to zero, and we still need to find a way in this direction.

My phone suddenly chimed; a text message had arrived.

Are you free today? How about we grab a bite to eat together?

Lu Sijian paused for a moment, then instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

After sending those two words, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Sheng Yunchao.
