After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but frown.

"This is ridiculous! The young lady is known for her good temper; how could she possibly fight with someone over a necklace?"

"Zhao Ke has been working with Young Master Lou for years, and I thought he had become more mature and stable, but I didn't expect him to still be so rude."

Lu Lingjun: "..."

For some reason, he always felt that the words "uncivilized" sounded rather harsh.

In fact, he heard not only Lu Sijian's implied meanings, but also her inner complaints...

He still finds it hard to believe that he can hear his sister's thoughts.

He glanced at everyone without making a sound, and thankfully, he was probably the only one who could hear his sister's thoughts.

Mu Liangyue stepped forward somewhat uneasy and apologized: "I'm sorry, young master..."

Lu Lingjun said calmly, "It's none of your business. Zhao Ke said those words, so I won't hold you responsible."

Mu Liangyue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.

Fortunately, I was firm enough at the time and did not completely believe what Zhao Ke said.

As for the sense of loss, it's hard to explain. I just feel that the reunion I imagined shouldn't be like this.

Her expression was wistful, lost in her own thoughts, unaware that several gazes were fixed upon her.

"Miss Mu, this has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself too much," someone whispered to comfort her, their eyes filled with a protective instinct.

Not to be outdone, the man on the other side saw Mu Liangyue cross her arms and quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"Miss Mu, you've just recovered from pneumonia, so don't catch a cold."

[As expected of a female lead, she manages to attract everyone's attention even with this.]

Lu Sijian noticed the commotion over there and couldn't help but look up at Lu Lingjun.

【No, bro, aren't you worried at all? In this competition between men, shouldn't you be jealous and unhappy, and then use the contract to take the female lead away?】

Lu Lingjun couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temples. What was his sister thinking?

"Jane, let's go home." After a moment, he lowered his hand and said.

"Now that things have been clarified, everyone can go home," Lin Yuxi said quickly, observing the situation.

As soon as their plane landed, this group of people went straight here. After more than ten hours of flying and several hours of driving, they were all quite exhausted and needed to go back to rest as soon as possible.

The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they must have had a lot to say to each other.

Lin Yuxi also sent someone to find Wang Ma, intending to go straight home.

Lu Sijian paused for a moment, then said, "Are you going back so early? I want to take another look."

After a pause, she said considerately, "Brother, you must be very tired after such a long flight. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Lin Yuxi was somewhat surprised, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Didn't you find the jewelry you wanted, Miss? Actually, Young Master did buy a few pieces of jewelry at an overseas auction house..."

Lu Lingjun raised his hand, and she stopped, not saying anything more.

"Yu Xi, you and the others go back and rest first. Kong Can stay here, I'll stay with A Jian and take another look."

Kong Can couldn't help but frown. This arrangement would be fine for others, but it would be too much of a burden for Lu Lingjun.

As a boss, his brain needs to be constantly working at high speed to make decisions, so he must ensure he gets enough rest.

Accompanying his sister to a jewelry exhibition was a trivial matter that shouldn't take up his time.

If Lu Sijian were sensible, she wouldn't be so stubborn as to refuse to go home at this time.

“But young master, you have meetings tomorrow and the day after…” he couldn’t help but remind him.

Lu Lingjun gave him a warning look, and Kong Can felt a chill and stopped talking immediately.

"Ah Jian, let's go take a look over there." Lu Lingjun took the initiative to lead Lu Sijian forward.

Lu Sijian shook her head and said with a smile, "Big brother, let's go home."

Lu Lingjun looked down at the expression on her face, "A-Jian, you don't have to force yourself to come back with me..."

Lu Sijian affectionately took his arm. "I didn't force you. Big brother wants to spend more time with me, but I also feel sorry for you traveling such a long distance and having such a hard time."

Lu Lingjun pondered for a moment, "Then why don't we find a quiet place to eat, so we can thank Baolin for taking care of you?"

He fixed his gaze on Shen Baolin, who was standing to the side.

-

Kong Can quickly arranged a place to dine.

This is a members-only club with a Chinese garden design. The environment is tranquil and the food is quite good. It was Lu Lingjun's favorite place for business negotiations before he went abroad.

He used to entertain business tycoons, but today he was entertaining two young girls.

After the tea was served, Kong Can prepared to pour tea for everyone, but he stopped her.

A short while later, the waiter brought over two porcelain cups.

"I can't sleep if I drink tea at night, so I asked the chef to make this almond milk with bird's nest in it. Try it and see how it tastes."

Lu Lingjun held the porcelain cup to test the temperature, then lifted the lid and placed the cup in front of the two of them. "The temperature is just right."

The sweet flavor of dried fruit blends perfectly with the milk, and the bird's nest is cooked to perfection, resulting in a soft, sweet, and glutinous texture.

Shen Baolin was somewhat flattered: "Thank you, Brother Lingjun."

She was only treated to hospitality by Lu Lingjun when she was a child. By junior high school, Lu Lingjun had become a rising star in the business world and was a very busy man. He gradually distanced himself from their group.

Shen Baolin always felt unworthy of being invited to dinner by the other party.

In contrast, Lu Sijian was much more casual, flipping through the menu as she drank.

This startled me so much that I almost spat out the milk in my mouth.

This is robbery!

The two people speaking couldn't help but glance over.

Lu Sijian then realized that she had moved a bit too much and almost knocked over the porcelain cup.

She casually finished her almond milk in a few gulps, saying, "It's delicious, brother, I'd like another bowl."

[Luckily, it wasn't my money they stole. Anyway, the Lu family is going to go bankrupt in the future, so drinking more won't hurt.]

"I won't need it, thank you." Shen Baolin composed herself, remaining polite and poised.

Over the years, she had become accustomed to self-discipline and ambition, but Lu Sijian seemed to have become much more shallow than before.

Lu Lingjun beckoned to the waiter and then stared at his sister's face: "You still look unwell, A-Jian, you need to eat more."

Lu Sijian smiled and said, "It's probably because the food at home doesn't suit my taste and the environment isn't very good either."

Kong Can, who was pouring tea for Lu Lingjun, was stunned. He never expected that Lu Sijian would complain so sweetly.

No, doesn't she try to hide it at all?

Lu Lingjun frowned slightly: "The tea is full."

Kong Can then noticed that the tea had spilled and hurriedly went to wipe the table.

Lu Sijian stood up: "I'm going to the restroom."

[Sigh, why is Kong Can so surprised? Did he think I wouldn't tell on him?]

"We should use him now while we still can, otherwise, what are we going to do when he has nothing left?"

Without the power and charisma that money bestows, he's nothing more than a sycophant.

Shen Baolin: "..."

What the hell is a simp?! She didn't even dare to look up at Lu Lingjun across from her.

She didn't notice that Lu Lingjun's expression gradually became serious.

Having disregarded everything else, he focused on only one key point: the Lu family would go bankrupt in the future.

This is something he absolutely will not allow to happen.
