After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Salespeople in uniforms were everywhere in the showroom.

Lian Buman took the card, waved, and told the salesperson next to her to swipe the card.

He said to Mu Liangyue, "Take off the necklace. Now that I've bought it, it's not appropriate for you to wear it anymore."

She was used to giving orders, so even when her tone was flat, she still sounded somewhat bossy.

Mu Liangyue was taken aback. Since her friend asked her to show such an expensive necklace, it must be because she hoped that Mu Liangyue could sell it as soon as possible.

She touched the necklace around her neck with a hint of reluctance; after all, what girl doesn't love beautiful jewelry?

But the next second she didn't hesitate to take off the necklace and hand it over.

She looked completely calm, showing no resentment at having her things taken away or any anger at being humiliated.

But all the men glared angrily at Lian Buman, which was clearly an insult!

Lian Buman didn't take it, but glanced at the salesperson and said, "Clean it up and put it back in for me."

This statement clearly ignited the anger of the crowd. Not only did they steal her things, but they also complained that she had worn them before and they were dirty?

"This is too much!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Mu Liangyue with heartache in their eyes.

Shen Baolin clenched her fists, thinking that Lian Buman was deliberately trying to embarrass Mu Liangyue.

Her fingertips touched the card in her bag, she hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Wait a minute..."

The voices overlapped, with the baritone even drowning out hers.

Shen Baolin looked in the direction of the sound and saw several men in black suits escorting a man as they walked over.

[Is this the way they're making their entrance? Are they here to back you up and slap you in the face?] Lu Sijian wasn't surprised at all.

Lian Buman always tries to bully Mu Liangyue by throwing money at her, but she always fails.

Firstly, Mu Liangyue is truly insensitive to money, neither coveting wealth nor comparing herself to others; being without desire makes her invincible.

Secondly, there are always high-quality men who arrive in time to support Mu Liangyue and use money to thoroughly humiliate Lian Buman.

The man stopped in front of Mu Liangyue and took the expensive necklace directly from the salesperson's hand. "I'm very sorry, we don't sell this necklace."

Lian Buman frowned and stared at the man: "Not selling? Why should you just say you won't sell?"

Her group of "plastic best friends" all chimed in to support her.

"Yeah, who are you? What's it to you?"

"Even when buying things, there should be a first-come, first-served order. Manman saw what she liked first."

"Manman has never failed to get what she likes, so who do you think you are?"

"If we don't sell it, are we just going to let her keep wearing it? Don't we realize she's a poor wretch and doesn't even deserve it!"

Lu Sijian looked utterly miserable.

I take back what I said about Lian Buman not being stupid; what kind of friends does she have?!

Listen to these vicious, sabotaging remarks! No wonder she was taken down so quickly and so tragically.

Shen Baolin smiled and glanced at Lian Buman, "Since they say that, it proves they have the ability to make it unattainable for you."

The man reeked of money, and his clothes and appearance were extraordinary; she already had a guess in her mind.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man stopped the salesperson, saying, "This is our General Manager Vinson."

Lian Buman realized, "You're the newly appointed director of Luoxi Jewelry's China region?"

Without even glancing at Lian Buman, the man reached out and revealed the expensive watch on his wrist, then put the necklace back around Mu Liangyue's neck.

Then she said gently, "This necklace looks better on you."

Mu Liangyue felt a little uncomfortable and asked in a low voice, "Vinson, are you really not selling this necklace? I'm fine with it, your business is the priority."

She genuinely hoped that her friend and Lian Buman could each get what they wanted: one could make a business deal, and the other could get the necklace she liked—a win-win situation.

The girl's innocent appearance made the man unable to help but laugh: "How can you be so cute?"

“I said I won’t sell, and I mean it. No one can take this necklace off your neck today.”

Lian Buman probably genuinely liked the necklace, or perhaps she was unwilling to be humiliated, and pressed on, "What about after the exhibition? You can sell it, right?"

“Yeah, isn’t the reason you invited her here to sell products? She gets a hefty commission if she makes a sale,” Xia Youyou chimed in.

The man's face darkened: "Who said she's here to sell products? She's my VIP guest, not a product-selling influencer."

"Also, I originally planned to give her this necklace after the exhibition."

Everyone present was shocked.

Such an expensive gift, you just give it away like that?

Xia Youyou leaned closer to Lian Buman: "Manman, what's their relationship? Why would they give such an expensive gift?"

This statement inevitably caused people to overthink, and Young Master Zhang, who had previously fawned over Mu Liangyue, suddenly looked sour.

Shen Baolin's expression changed: "Xia Youyou, what do you mean? Explain yourself!"

Vinson swirled the wine in his glass, his eyes icy: "Did you just say that a poor wretch like her doesn't deserve this necklace? Do you think you do?"

Xia Youyou's face turned red. Of course, she couldn't say that she was worthy, or she would only be embarrassed.

Her gaze swept around for a moment before suddenly settling on Lu Sijian, who was watching the scene unfold. "I just feel that only Lu Sijian deserves this necklace."

Lu Sijian: "???"

Little friend, do you have a lot of questions? Little friend, she has a lot of "Holy crap!"

What does this have to do with me?

Shen Baolin frowned: "Don't drag unrelated people into this."

In her opinion, Xia Youyou dragging Lu Sijian into the mess was definitely at Lian Buman's behest.

Sure enough, Lian Buman immediately countered, "I must have connections, right? I checked and this necklace is still on the exhibition's sales list. I'm taking it!"

Shen Baolin couldn't help but curse, "Lian Buman, are you crazy?!"

Lian Buman has always been like this since she was a child. No matter what it is, as long as it involves Lu Sijian, she will definitely snatch it.

“Lu Sijian, is that you?” Vinson stopped swaying in his wine glass and finally turned his gaze to Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian smiled and waved: "Hi, long time no see."

The other party gave her an English name, which made her almost unable to recognize him.

Shen Baolin looked at the two of them suspiciously: "You know each other?"

"This is Zhu Jinming, the young master of the Zhu family. He was very talented when he was young. Later, because he always had some brilliant ideas, his family sent him abroad to study."

Zhu Jinming, also known as Vinson, looked grim: "You're spying on me?"

Lu Sijian: "That's not quite it, it's just a coincidence. But you actually came back to China? That's a rare sight indeed, you didn't even tell me when you did this."

Zhu Jinming's face darkened further. He had only been back in China for three days, and today was his first public appearance, yet she had blocked his door. It was hard to say that it wasn't intentional.

He stopped drinking and turned to leave in a hurry.

As soon as he left, those who had followed him also left.

Lu Sijian: "..."

[No, this person has no manners at all. They just abandon their friend like that?]

[He won't think I'm implying he should avoid me, will he? No, he's so old, why would he be afraid of me?]

Shen Baolin frowned slightly. What did it mean that she was afraid of her?

And given the current situation, is she really not doing this on purpose?

Xia Youyou suddenly asked, "What should we do with the necklace now? Should we sell it or not?"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Mu Liangyue's neck, and Mu Liangyue was so frightened that she took two steps back.
