After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Everyone stared at the figure behind her. She was very tall with long legs, but too thin and dressed very casually.

The men who had been egging him on immediately lost interest and didn't even bother to look at his face.

"Do they think this is a vegetable market where just anyone can sneak in?"

"Exactly, she should at least wear a dress and put on makeup before coming."

“Miss, you’ve got it wrong. Not just anyone is worthy of drinking Mr. Zhang’s wine.”

"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Lu is very beautiful!" Mu Liangyue hurriedly argued.

"Little beauty, don't belittle yourself like that. We all have eyes and can distinguish between beauty and ugliness."

This remark immediately drew a burst of laughter.

After all, the contrast between the two standing together is too obvious.

One was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, looking pure, fresh, and beautiful; the other was still wrapped in a sweater, looking like she was in winter, not afraid of dying of heat.

Someone couldn't help but mutter under their breath, "Is there something wrong with her? Otherwise, who would dress like an old lady?"

"Who said that? Stand up and show yourself if you dare!" Wang Ma was angry and shouted at the top of her lungs.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and no one admitted it.

This group of people mocked others for looking like middle-aged women, but when a truly formidable middle-aged woman came, they would avoid her like the plague.

After all, the older woman was a seasoned veteran, skilled in both words and actions, unlike the young girl who was easy to bully and blushed easily.

Shen Baolin frowned. Of course she knew that Lu Sijian had to wear more clothes because she was weak and afraid of the cold.

However, since no one admits it, it's better to avoid trouble.

She chose to stand by and do nothing.

“Miss Lu, in my heart, you are the most beautiful!” Mu Liangyue said suddenly, and she truly believed it.

Lu Sijian: "Thank you. You're quite beautiful too. The jewelry and clothes suit you very well."

Her gaze lingered on the necklace around Mu Liangyue's neck for a few seconds before subtly shifting away.

[This looks like the Heart of Diamond?]

Oh, by the way, it's not called Diamond Heart yet.

Shen Baolin was somewhat surprised. Heart of Diamond? Is that the name of the necklace Mu Liangyue was wearing? How did Lu Sijian know her?

Mu Liangyue shook her head. "No, that's different."

She hadn't expected that on such an occasion, while the ladies were all dressed elegantly and sophisticatedly, Lu Sijian would be dressed so casually.

Girls love beauty and being pretty, so they'd definitely be unhappy if they were outshone, right?

“We are merely tools to showcase the jewelry; you are the most dazzling pearl,” she said firmly.

Mu Liangyue was invited by a friend to work as a model for a day to showcase jewelry.

Today, many internet celebrities and stars were invited to participate in this exhibition. They were all dressed up in their finest attire, and their main purpose was to sell jewelry to wealthy people.

Although her friend asked her to help out, she was very clear about her own role and position.

Upon hearing this, everyone cast disapproving glances at Lu Sijian.

This woman is going too far! She actually forced this pretty girl to talk like that. Doesn't she even look in the mirror and see what she looks like?

Lu Sijian paused for a moment.

[When the female lead lacks confidence, there are usually some sassy and pretentious women around her who rush to flatter her, only to be proven wrong...]

"At least you have some self-awareness, knowing you're just a tool." Sure enough, a mocking female voice rang out.

Lu Sijian's eyes lit up!

[Here she comes! The vicious cannon fodder is here with her arrogant and domineering gait!]

A commotion arose in the crowd, and soon three or four young girls walked over.

The woman in the lead gestured with her chin at Mu Liangyue, "Don't think that a pheasant can pretend to be a phoenix just by sticking feathers on it, understand?"

The tone was practically screaming, "You poor wretch, you don't deserve it!"

Lu Sijian recognized who it was at a glance.

Lian Buman, the eldest daughter of the Lian family, is Shen Baolin's mortal enemy; the two have been at odds since childhood.

Since Shen Baolin has abandoned darkness and embraced the light, her mortal enemy is naturally no good person.

In the novel, Lian Buman is just cannon fodder. She is selfish, vicious, and stupid, but because her family is rich, she has a group of admirers around her.

But she was never satisfied. She was jealous that Mu Liangyue was more popular with men than she was, so she kept targeting Mu Liangyue and rallied other admirers to bully her.

However, her methods were not very sophisticated; she only knew how to throw money around, and she was quickly humiliated by the female lead's admirers.

Ultimately, she was framed and her family went bankrupt, leaving her with huge debts, and all those who had once supported her scattered.

Even her seemingly honest fiancé dumped her after swindling her out of her last sum of money.

Without money, Lian Buman could no longer bear living in poverty, so she decided to take a risk and seduce the powerful villain.

As it turned out, the villain had already seen through her plan. He drugged her drink beforehand and then sent her to a homeless man's bed under the bridge.

After waking up, Lian Buman went mad and, ignoring the homeless man's threat of punches, jumped into the river.

【…Godly gold!】 Lu Sijian frowned after reading Lian Buman's ending.

"Lian Buman, are you sick? What did Liang Yue do to you?"

Shen Baolin only heard the phrase "divine gold" halfway through her sentence, and looked at Lu Sijian with some surprise.

Was she talking about Lian Buman? Lian Buman is really annoying!

"She didn't, but what did you do to me! Shen Baolin, are you just standing here like a dead person?"

Lian Buman was even angrier than her. "Those people were just using this woman to put down your good friend, and you didn't say a word? Are you deaf?"

Lu Sijian was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "woman" she was referring to was Mu Liangyue, and the "good sister" she was referring to was herself.

[Wait, how did I get dragged into this war for no reason?]

[Lian Buman's information is inaccurate. Doesn't she know that Shen Baolin has been getting close to Mu Liangyue lately?]

Shen Baolin's face turned ashen: "What's it to you!"

Lian Buman snorted: "How is it none of my business? Lu Sijian was the undisputed number one socialite in Yuncheng back then. Of course, I don't think she's that much better than me, but what's the point of you grabbing any random woman and stepping on her head?"

Her manicured finger pointed at Mu Liangyue, exuding arrogance.

"I couldn't dethrone Lu Sijian from her position as the top socialite, but she can? Why? Is she prettier or more outstanding than me?"

Lu Sijian: "..."

This reason is reasonable and logically consistent; as expected of Lian Buman, he never takes the conventional path!

Shen Baolin found it incomprehensible: "You want to compare this too? A-Jian has never cared about being a first socialite."

"She may not care, but don't you? You used to force her to put on makeup and dress up for important occasions, making sure she overshadowed me. Have you forgotten all that?"

As Lian Buman spoke, she looked Shen Baolin up and down and sneered, "Today you're only concerned with putting on your own makeup and not doing hers."

"What, you're using her and now you're going to throw her away?"

Shen Baolin slowly clenched her fists. Lian Buman's words always reminded her of some things from the past.

Even though she had already decided to cut ties with Lu Sijian and the past, she just didn't want to lose face in front of Lian Buman.

Rather than steam buns, she decided to stand up for herself and turned around to grab Lu Sijian's arm. "What nonsense are you talking about? A-Jian can't wear makeup because she's not feeling well."
