After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Shen Baolin regretted it as soon as she took the arm. Before, it was because she was immature and didn't know any better, but now that she's an adult, it's really inappropriate to take someone's arm. It makes her seem too immature.

But because Lian Buman kept staring at her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue holding on.

Noticing Lu Sijian's movement to pull away, he inexplicably tightened his grip even more.

Lu Sijian tried to pull it open but couldn't, so she had to give up.

Are you two elementary school kids? How childish! Are you trying to fight me like a toy?

[What does Lian Buman mean by this? Doesn't she always try to put me down for no reason? Today she actually spoke up for me. Don't tell me she likes me.]

Shen Baolin was speechless. Like her? How could that be!

Does she even know why she and Lian Buman are fighting so fiercely?

Although the two had never gotten along since childhood, they were kind to each other because their families were old friends.

The person who truly caused her to completely break ties with Lian Buman was Lu Sijian.

However, Lu Sijian's words reminded her and even opened up her mind.

Shen Baolin smiled and said, "Lian Buman, why are you speaking up for A-Jian like this? Do you really like her?"

Lian Buman's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Nonsense, how could I possibly like her!"

really!

Shen Baolin added fuel to the fire: "Really? I thought you were paying so much attention to A-Jian because you wanted to get her attention on purpose."

Lian Buman, as if her sore spot had been hit, was furious. "Shen Baolin, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Although she was scolded, Shen Baolin felt very happy.

She hadn't gained the upper hand in her rivalry with Lian Buman for a long time, and today she actually felt a sense of triumph.

Seeing Shen Baolin's smug face, Lian Buman couldn't help but glare at Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian: "..."

【No, why are you glaring at me? You're usually so eloquent, but you can't win an argument today?】

[I haven't said anything yet, how did I suddenly get dragged into this?]

Shen Baolin smiled and lowered her head. "Why are you glaring at me? Because the person I truly hate is you."

You've never been an innocent bystander in this mess; I'm the one who was dragged into your love-hate relationship by mistake.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lian Buman raised her chin at Lu Sijian. "Shen Baolin doesn't have that kind of brain. Did you teach her to say that?"

Shen Baolin's smile vanished: "...Who are you calling brainless?"

Lian Buman did not answer, but instead began to sized up Lu Sijian.

A few seconds later, she frowned, her face full of disgust: "How did you manage to look like this? You're so skinny and ugly."

Having spent three years in a hospital bed, Lu Sijian was excessively thin, and given her tall stature, she appeared emaciated.

To make it easier to manage, people in a vegetative state must cut their hair short, which covers the contours of their faces, making them appear heavy and dull.

Wang Ma has been working so hard these past few days to get her to eat more, and she's managed to recover a little bit.

Even Bu Man's words left those who knew Lu Sijian feeling somewhat uneasy.

After all, three years ago, Lu Sijian had long, jet-black hair, fair and plump skin, and breathtaking beauty in every glance and movement.

For some reason, Shen Baolin's temper flared up instantly: "Can't you speak properly? A-Jian just recovered from her illness!"

“Am I not telling the truth?” Lian Buman stared at Lu Sijian. “But even though you were sick, you still have a good figure. If you gain a little weight, you won’t look so ugly.”

Lu Sijian hesitated for a moment, "Then, thank you?"

Lian Buman raised her chin: "You're welcome, I'm just telling the truth."

Shen Baolin: "Lian Buman!"

“Unlike you, Shen Baolin, who has been a clown since childhood! Big face, ugly monster!” Lian Buman immediately launched an attack.

Mu Liangyue quickly defended her friend: "Miss Lian, how could you swear?"

"Oh, I forgot to scold you." Lian Buman glanced at Mu Liangyue. "You're the ugliest, and ugly people always cause trouble!"

"You!" Mu Liangyue was no match for her, and her face flushed red instantly.

Lu Sijian immediately felt a deep respect for this formidable man.

He offended both the good guys and the bad guys with just one word!

Its ability to draw hatred is incredibly powerful!

The men who had been eyeing her and looking for trouble had all shifted their focus, casting their resentful gazes at Lian Buman.

One of the men couldn't help but speak up for Mu Liangyue, "Are you beautiful yourself? In my opinion..."

Lian Buman: "What are you looking at? A toad dares to comment on humans? Others are ugly, but you're not even human, you ugly thing, get out of here!"

The man's face flushed red: "You're just relying on your money, what's so great about you..."

"I'm better than all of you. At least I wouldn't force a young girl to drink! And then try to get something for nothing!" She turned to look at Mu Liangyue, "How much is this necklace of yours?"

Mu Liangyue subconsciously touched the necklace around her neck and replied, "1800 million..."

My friend said that this necklace is the highlight of today's exhibition, and it's a limited edition with only one piece available worldwide.

She knew absolutely nothing about jewelry, let alone what kind of necklace cost 1800 million. She worried that her friend had worked so hard to organize such an exhibition, only to find that the items wouldn't sell.

"Did you hear that? Since it's nothing special, then you can buy it!" Lian Buman stared intently at them one by one, and when their eyes met hers, everyone lowered their heads.

Even those who had been joking the most earlier fell silent.

"Do you think you'd actually buy it?" someone retorted.

1800 million is no small sum. Nobody's money comes from thin air. Why buy such a flashy but impractical diamond necklace?

“Of course I’ll buy it,” Lian Buman said. “Do you understand? That’s the difference between me and you guys. What are you doing pretending to be rich by not spending your coins here! You poor bastards, freeloaders!”

Not only did the man's face turn red, but the others also looked indignant.

They all felt insulted, but were helpless, since they couldn't just buy the necklace out of anger.

[Arrogant, absolutely arrogant!]

[Who says Lian Buman is stupid? Stupidity doesn't necessarily mean she's truly stupid; she's definitely fierce! She'll ruthlessly crush everyone she dislikes!]

Lu Sijian saw it all clearly.

Mu Liangyue has the ability to attract high-quality men, but high-quality men aren't like cabbages in a field; you can't just walk around and bump into one.

On the contrary, the female lead's resilience, kindness, and other admirable qualities attract more scumbags.

The men present would certainly be willing to fight for love, but they would definitely refuse to invest real money without expecting anything in return.

Men who have a little money at home are more likely to weigh the pros and cons.

It's no wonder that Lian Buman could be so arrogant in the early stages, because she really had money and was really willing to spend it.

"Wow, they're so rich! Is this what happiness is for the wealthy?" Lu Sijian thought enviously.

He bought an 1800 million yuan necklace just to spite someone.

Is it too late for me to try and curry favor with Lian Buman?

Shen Baolin felt a little uncomfortable. How could she think of trying to curry favor with Lian Buman?

Even if you're just joking about it, you shouldn't. A-Jian has been pampered since she was a child and has gotten everything she wanted. There's no need for her to envy others.
