After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

“I admit that I set up the scheme.” Sheng Yunchao readily admitted, then changed the subject, “But I didn’t expect the scheme to be so effective. I thought that given his fiancée’s pleas and the company’s major crisis, a normal person wouldn’t choose to go to Miss Mu, because it’s impossible to be sure if she was really in danger.”

You have to admit to either being mentally challenged or having an affair.

Zhao Ke: "Brother Xiao is just confused because he's worried!"

Sheng Yunchao laughed, "So, which of President Lou's words is true? One minute he says he hasn't fallen for someone else, the next he says he's just confused because he's worried."

Both Lou Xiao and Mu Liangyue, the two parties involved, felt inexplicably awkward.

Lou Xiao felt humiliated and was further humiliated by being dragged out and whipped again, which made him extremely angry.

And what did Sheng Yunchao mean? Was he deliberately humiliating him, saying that he not only cheated on his wife but also ruined the company's cooperation? That's too much!

Sheng Yunchao did it on purpose, of course.

You two are the protagonists of the world, and your love is deeply moving. The people of the gods are shipping you like crazy, but he just has to throw a bad apple in the sweetness, making everyone who wants to ship you feel disgusted.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Lou Xiao remained silent until his phone rang. He glanced at it, then abruptly looked up at Lu Sijian.

"Miss, the master hasn't left. He knows something happened at home and is rushing back from the airport!" The butler walked over, holding his phone, his face beaming with joy.

He put the call on speakerphone, and Lu Ting's voice came through, "Baby, don't be afraid, Daddy's coming home right away! Nobody will dare to bully you today!"

Lu Lingjun's pupils contracted slightly, then he turned his head and stared coldly at the butler.

The butler's face stiffened, and he flinched away in fear.

Lou Xiao was finally able to speak. He stepped forward and blocked Lu Lingjun's view. "I was the one who called Uncle Lu."

He had been holding back because he wanted to test Lu Lingjun's attitude.

After all, he might be able to fight back against Gu Xiaolei, but if Lu Lingjun had some evidence and was determined to send Lu Sijian to prison, he would be powerless to do anything about it.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious Lu Ting's business trip today seemed, so he simply sent people to intercept him at the airport.

Fortunately, Lu Ting's plane encountered a malfunction after boarding and failed to take off smoothly. The subsequent flights were also full, and Lu Ting was still stranded in the VIP lounge, which allowed his men to intercept him.

Now that Lu Ting has returned, he can keep Lu Lingjun in check and prevent him from turning against his own brother.

Sheng Yunchao said so much here, deliberately trying to humiliate him with that farcical kidnapping case, but what did the other party do for Lu Sijian?

What's the point of just pretending to be innocent and nice here?

Gu Xiaolei burst into laughter, "President Lou is truly devoted. What is Liang Yue anyway?"

Lou Xiao was startled and looked at Mu Liangyue, only to find that her brows were furrowed and she was unsteady on her feet, about to collapse.

Mu Liangyue's ankle was injured while saving him and it hasn't healed yet. Today, being harassed by the Lu family only made the injury worse.

But she gritted her teeth and said it was nothing, worried that Gu Xiaolei would hurt Lu Sijian, and insisted on coming along.

Lou Xiao was heartbroken and quickly picked Mu Liangyue up and placed her on the sofa. "Does it hurt a lot? I'll take you to the hospital right away..."

Mu Liangyue panicked: "No, what will happen to Miss Lu if you leave?"

Ultimately, she owed Lu Sijian a great deal and couldn't just let it go.

Lou Xiao closed his eyes and hardened his heart. "Uncle Lu will be back soon. She'll be fine. But your injury can't be delayed."

He glanced at Sheng Yunchao discreetly. Now that he had made his stance clear—that he would not have any lingering feelings for Lu Sijian—the other party should surely give up, right?

I just hope Lu Sijian doesn't think she really has someone to rely on, and that she's still so lawless.

He suppressed Mu Liangyue's resistance, pulled her into his arms, and carried her away.

Suddenly someone stepped forward and blocked his way.

Lou Xiao looked up and saw Lu Lingjun. He assumed Lu Lingjun was worried about Mu Liangyue's injuries. "I will take good care of Liangyue. Don't worry about me..."

“I’m sorry,” Lu Lingjun said coldly, “you can leave, but she can’t.”

Mu Liangyue nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I can't leave! Young Master, please don't target Miss Lu, she's your sister!"

She was extremely anxious and tried her best to jump down from Lou Xiao's arms.

If she leaves like this, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

The more she acted this way, the more determined Lou Xiao became to take her away.

But Lu Lingjun stood in his way, saying, "I told you, you can leave, but she must stay."

Lou Xiao was a little annoyed, feeling that he was just making things worse. Even if Mu Liangyue didn't want to leave, couldn't he have considered the situation?

“Young Master is stubborn, and President Lou took Miss Mu away for her own good,” Gu Xiaolei advised.

He considered himself an ally, standing on the same side, and naturally did not want Mu Liangyue and Lou Xiao to stay and hinder them.

Even if Lu Lingjun wanted to compete with Lou Xiao for a woman, this was far too inappropriate.

"Your father is coming back soon, and all your hard work may come to nothing. Why get caught up in a moment of romance? Isn't revenge more important right now?"

He glanced at Sheng Yunchao discreetly, somewhat wary of him, hoping that Lu Lingjun could get rid of him.

He didn't believe that Lu Lingjun was truly unprepared, allowing him and Sheng Yunchao to come and go freely in the Lu family home; he was certain there were still people lying in ambush.

Lu Lingjun turned to look at him, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Liangyue's arm, pulling hard.

“I told you, she can’t leave.”

Mu Liangyue fell directly to the ground, her ankle throbbing with pain upon landing, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Liangyue!" Lou Xiao felt heartbroken and guilty, and hurriedly squatted down to help her up.

"Lingjun, what are you doing?" Shen Baolin angrily stood up for her friend. Even if he wanted to follow Mu Liangyue's will, why was he acting so roughly?

Zhao Ke and He Wenyuan surrounded Mu Liangyue, and even Gu Xiaolei frowned, annoyed by Lu Lingjun's refusal to listen to advice.

Each of them cared deeply for Mu Liangyue. Although they each had their own stance on this incident, they were all united in their desire to protect Mu Liangyue and prevent her from being affected.

"Heh." Lu Lingjun let out a soft chuckle.

He looked at Mu Liangyue with icy eyes, "Does it hurt? Ling Bai hurt his ankle just as much when he injured it for you."

Now everyone realized something was wrong.

Lu Sijian's brow twitched, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

[Tongzi, what's going on? What happened to Lu Lingjun?]

In the divine realm, the black-haired priest lowered his eyes, watching the data skyrocket, his brow furrowing deeply.

[Lu Lingjun's affection for you is skyrocketing.]

"What?!" Lu Sijian exclaimed in shock.

Where exactly did things go wrong? Why did this happen? What exactly is Lu Lingjun trying to do?

She subconsciously turned to look at Sheng Yunchao and got the answer from his eyes.

Sheng Yunchao simply gave Lu Lingjun a copy of the information he had gathered; what actions Lu Lingjun would take afterward was beyond his control.

But it was clearly more serious than he had imagined.

Lu Lingjun completely hated Mu Liangyue, believing that Mu Liangyue was the culprit who caused everything.
