After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

As Wen Yuan said, he did not believe that Lu Sijian would poison him.

But what if she originally came for Mu Liangyue?

After all, she had already targeted Zhao Ke and the others, and even Gu Sheng was held in her grudge for protecting Mu Liangyue, so how could she possibly let Mu Liangyue go?

If the other party originally came for Mu Liangyue, and he was just accidentally dragged into it, then everything makes sense.

Lu Sijian got the answer from Lou Xiao's silence.

"I understand," she said softly. "So this is how you see me."

Lou Xiao's heart tightened slightly. After all, he had loved her deeply, and the other person's expression made him feel a little flustered.

“Jane, I’m not doubting you…”

Lu Sijian looked up at him. "Then you believe I'm innocent, right?"

Lou Xiao glanced at the school leader next to him and nodded reluctantly.

The reason, in turn, was that he didn't want to see her expelled from school and have her promising future ruined.

As for the others, given how much Lu Ting dotes on his daughter, he should be able to sincerely apologize to the other victims and resolve the matter.

"Brother Xiao, don't be fooled by her!" He Wenyuan said anxiously.

"Enough!" Lou Xiao stopped his commotion. "You have no evidence, so don't spout nonsense here."

Zhao Ke pursed her lips and remained silent. Lou Xiao had clearly softened his heart; he wanted to protect Lu Sijian, and Zhao Ke couldn't very well go against him.

Zhu Jinming's phone rang. He saw that it was his grandfather calling and quickly answered.

"You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy? Who told you to go to the school and cause trouble for Lu Sijian?" Old Master Zhu roared in anger, "You get back here right now!"

Zhu Jinming: "Dad, I'm the one who got beaten up without any explanation. How could you do this?"

"Haven't you done enough shameful things? How many people have you offended? How can you be so sure it was Lu Sijian who did it?" Old Master Zhu didn't believe it at all.

"Who else could it be but her?" Zhu Jinming kicked the sofa in anger, drawing stares from several school officials.

Professor Li gave the school leaders a look that said, "See? These are a few arrogant and unreasonable spoiled brats."

School leaders: "..."

He agreed, which further solidified his belief that Lu Sijian was innocent.

Zhu Jinming calmed his anger and said into the phone, "Brother Sheng also said it was her. If you don't believe me, don't you believe Brother Sheng?"

Grandpa Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if she really did it, you'd better keep it to yourself!"

Zhu Jinming: "Dad, things are different now. Are we going to be afraid of the Lu family?"

Lu Sijian also found it strange, feeling that there was something hidden in what Grandpa Zhu said.

She couldn't help but walk behind Zhu Jinming and listen intently.

"You don't know how crazy Lu Ting was back then. You hurt his daughter, and he really would have dragged everyone down with him..." Old Master Zhu paused, his tone slightly somber, "And don't think that Lu Ting is easy to mess with now. He's even more terrifying than before..."

"Why do you think my dad is scary?" Lu Sijian asked.

Zhu Jinming turned around and quickly covered his phone. Damn it, she was eavesdropping!

"In short, don't provoke Lu Ting..." Old Master Zhu wanted to add a few more words.

"Okay, okay." He hung up the phone dismissively, looking at Lu Sijian warily. "What do you want?"

The school leader coughed and said, "Since this matter is still unresolved, please leave."

He was convinced it was all a farce. He had long disliked these spoiled brats, and since Zhu Jinming's family didn't believe it, why should they give them face?

Do they really think their school is some kind of pushover?

"Xiao Lin, take Lu Sijian to class." He instructed the counselor to take Lu Sijian away first, and then politely asked Zhu Jinming and the others to leave.

Lu Sijian followed the counselor out, feeling that something was off about the plot.

Why is the school suddenly being so tough? I wasn't expelled?

She frowned, not noticing the stairs, and almost missed a step.

"Ah Jian!" Lou Xiao, who had been staring at her, rushed over instinctively.

Lu Sijian grabbed the railing to steady herself, glanced at him calmly, and continued walking down.

With just that one glance, the ice in Lou Xiao's heart began to melt.

The sky was overcast and the wind was strong. He lifted the hem of her coat and realized that even after so long, she was still so thin.

Lou Xiao didn't know why, but as he watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, he suddenly felt as if he was about to lose something precious.

This inexplicable panic made him feel suffocated, and after thinking about it, he decided to chase after them anyway.

-

Lu Sijian was still thinking about something.

【Shuko, is this okay? That's not how it's supposed to go.】

Shouldn't my future be ruined first, followed by the loss of my honor, and finally I be kidnapped and run over and killed in the middle of the night while trying to escape?

She caught a glimpse of a figure in front of her out of the corner of her eye and instinctively stopped in her tracks.

"Big brother?" she asked, looking surprised.

The two had only been separated for less than an hour, and he got to school so quickly. Doesn't he have to go to work?

Lu Lingjun glanced at her, then looked away and politely said to the counselor, "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry, something came up at home today. I'm here to pick up A-Jian from school, so I need to ask for leave from class today."

The counselor thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea, since too many things had indeed happened to the Lu family recently.

So he told Lu Sijian to go home and rest well, not to overthink things, and that the school would stand firmly on her side before saying goodbye and leaving.

After the counselor had walked away, Lu Lingjun spoke indifferently, "Let's go."

The driver looked at him with some concern, sensing that the young master's aura had become even more oppressive.

Thinking of the phone call from the housekeeper, his mood became somewhat heavy.

Something big is about to happen.

Lu Sijian stood still: "What happened? Why do you suddenly want me to go home?"

[Lu Ting probably just boarded the plane. Is he no longer going to pretend?]

Lu Lingjun clenched his fists, lowered his gaze slightly, and his eyes were icy cold.

After a moment, he coldly looked up at her and said, "You know perfectly well what's going on."

Even a fool could see the chilling hatred in his eyes now.

Before Lu Sijian could react, a figure strode over, grabbed her wrist, and stood between her and Lu Lingjun.

Lou Xiao guessed that there would be discord between the siblings, after all, the news of the Lu family siblings fighting for power and engaging in internal strife had been spreading like wildfire recently.

But what he didn't expect was that the brother and sister, who were once close, had now become irreconcilable enemies.

Is Lu Lingjun planning to take advantage of Lu Ting's absence and the lack of support for Lu Sijian to make a move against her?

If that's the case, he can't let Lu Lingjun take the person away.

"I'm sorry, brother, A-Jian isn't feeling well. I'd like to bring her to my place to rest for a couple of days."

Lu Lingjun's pupils contracted slightly. "You want to take her away? In what capacity will you take her away?"

Lou Xiao: "You don't need to worry about that, brother. A-Jian will be very safe with me. I'll call Uncle Lu later to ask for his permission."
