After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Miss, please don't be angry. How about we wait for Young Master Lou to come back and take you home?" Aunt Ye coaxed her, as if dealing with a little girl's unreasonable tantrum.

When Wang Ma actually picked up the suitcase, the sarcasm in her eyes was almost impossible to hide.

She silently followed Lu Sijian downstairs and glanced at the courtyard.

The rain was already heavy, and the trees in the courtyard were blown about, with fallen petals scattered all over the ground.

Even in such a storm, she dared not go out, let alone a pampered young lady.

It's time for this farce to end.

"Miss, why don't we go back to our room?" Aunt Ye coaxed softly, seeing that it was almost time.

Just then, a car drove into the courtyard in the rain.

Sister-in-law Ye was stunned.

“I used a ride-hailing app to call a private car, and I added an 800 yuan thank-you fee. The driver accepted the call immediately.” Lu Sijian put her hands in her trench coat pockets. “It’s not like I have to go to Lou Xiao to leave.”

So why was Lou Xiao the only option to handle Mu Liangyue's fainting?

Unless, Mrs. Ye did it on purpose.

In the novel, Aunt Ye, as the housekeeper of the Lu family, often goes to Lou Xiao to discuss matters concerning the original owner of this body.

Thus, the original owner's scheming was "unintentionally" exposed, helping the male and female protagonists to resolve many misunderstandings.

But if the other party did it intentionally, then that would be very interesting.

“When Mu Liangyue and Lou Xiao get married in the future, you’ll definitely be sitting at the matchmaker’s table,” Lu Sijian said meaningfully.

Aunt Ye's face changed drastically, and she tried to explain in a panic, "Miss, I didn't..."

Lu Sijian opened the living room door, and a sudden gust of wind and rain swept in, hitting Aunt Ye.

-

Late at night, the torrential rain still hadn't stopped, and Lou Xiao hurriedly walked out of the hospital.

A few minutes ago, Aunt Ye called to say that Lu Sijian had run away from home.

Lou Xiao was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else and rushed downstairs.

"Brother!" Shen Baolin chased after him. "I have something to tell you."

She struggled for a long time before finally making up her mind, "Do you know who was the culprit who caused our kidnapping..."

"What do you want to say?" The rain was too loud, and the phone kept ringing without being answered. Lou Xiao was anxious and didn't hear what she was saying at all.

He suddenly remembered Lu Sijian's heartfelt words before he left, and said coldly, "Whatever you want to say, shut up!"

Shen Baolin's breath hitched; she was startled by her cousin's harsh words.

Lou Xiao: "I'm warning you, I love A-Jian. In my heart, no one can compare to her, and you are no exception."

How could he possibly let a few words from his cousin shake his feelings for A-Jian?

Shen Baolin felt a sharp pain in her heart, "...I understand."

She just wanted her cousin to know the truth.

Some people occupy undeserved glory, while others bear infamy that is not theirs.

But her cousin misunderstood her and said such heartless things.

Lu Lingbo limped over with his cane and pulled Shen Baolin aside.

"You should go back early; there's nothing for you to do here."

Shen Baolin felt wronged: "Brother Lingbai..."

Lu Lingbai hesitated for a moment, a question he wanted to clarify: "Why did Liangyue go to Xishan to dig bamboo shoots? Did you say something?"

Shen Baolin looked shocked: "Brother Lingbo, even you doubt me?"

Lu Lingbo: "No, no, I was just asking casually, don't take it to heart."

Therefore, one cannot completely trust one's sister's words, and Shen Baolin has no reason to sow discord.

"Lou Xiao, I'll go back with you," Lu Lingbo said helplessly. "I just said the wrong thing earlier, and I need to apologize to A-Jian."

His younger sister was pampered and spoiled since childhood, and if she casually ran away from home, everyone would be thrown into chaos.

On the other hand, the one lying inside, who had a high fever and fainted, didn't utter a sound. His strength was heartbreaking.

If Aunt Ye hadn't told him, he wouldn't have even known that she was homeless after leaving the Lu family.

Even so, she harbored no resentment towards her sister, only thinking of repaying her kindness with utmost sincerity.

As Lu Lingbai pondered this, he got into the car with Lou Xiao.

The car had just driven off when Lu Lingbo's phone suddenly rang.

Lou Xiao glanced at him sideways: "Is it A-Jian?"

Just then, Lu Lingbai pressed the answer button, and a cheerful voice came through, "Second Brother, did you bring me to the hospital?"

It was Mu Liangyue. She had just woken up, and although her voice was still weak, she pretended to be full of energy.

Lu Lingbai sighed helplessly, knowing she was just putting on a brave face again. "Are you feeling any better...?"

Suddenly my hand was empty; my phone had been snatched away.

Lou Xiao's voice was cold: "Who is your second brother?"

-

Lu Sijian slept soundly through the night.

The hotel breakfast was delivered early in the morning, with a wide variety of options. As Lu Sijian ate, she looked through the reminders and found that her aversion value had increased by 3 points.

"Wait a minute, why is the male lead's affection level increasing?"

The favorability rating, which was originally 95%, actually increased by 1 point.

[The plot has changed; after the male lead learns that you ran away from home, he not only doesn't watch the video, but also takes his anger out on the female lead.]

[Only Shen Baolin and Lu Lingbai believe you are deliberately causing trouble, contributing 8 points of dislike.]

Lu Sijian sighed: "It seems that Lou Xiao truly loves me, and he doesn't doubt my ulterior motives at all."

"That's not right! His 1 point of favorability can actually offset someone else's 5 points of dislike? He's the one who's getting in my way!" Lu Sijian was heartbroken.

She couldn't even eat breakfast.

Aunt Wang approached hesitantly, saying, "Young Miss, please don't be angry. Young Master Lou loves you the most. He has always disliked Mu Liangyue! Really!"

As she said this, she straightened her back, "Every time Mu Liangyue doesn't take good care of you, Young Master Lou will give her a good scolding!"

Lu Sijian put down her spoon, recalling the scene she witnessed when she went downstairs yesterday.

Even though Lu Lingbai was standing closer, Lou Xiao reacted faster when Mu Liangyue fell.

That reaction was almost subconscious; he completely forgot that he was a germaphobe.

"Wang Ma, if you dislike someone, would you help her, hug her, give her resources, or even take her in to live in your home?"

"Of course not!" Wang Ma replied without hesitation.

Lu Sijian shrugged: "That settles it then. You can't judge things by appearances alone."

Wang Ma was completely confused: "But... Young Master Lou didn't let Mu Liangyue stay at his house."

Lu Sijian smiled but remained silent.

Wang Ma still lacks imagination. She doesn't have it now, but Mu Liangyue's high fever and fainting will provide an opportunity, won't it?

Although the plot has deviated from its intended course, Lu Sijian doesn't think it's a big problem.

After all, Lou Xiao's intention was to protect her, fearing that she would be associated with mistreatment of Mu Liangyue.

Wang Ma: "It's all Ye Sao's fault. Has she lost her mind? Why isn't she on the side of her young lady? She's on Mu Liangyue's side!"

The more Wang Ma thought about it, the angrier she became. Not only was Sister Ye perfunctory towards the eldest young lady, but she was also exceptionally warm towards Mu Liangyue.

A few months ago, when the young lady was still in the hospital, she once insisted that Mu Liangyue sleep in Lou Shao's private room.

At the time, they said they couldn't possibly sleep in the young lady's room, which fooled Wang Ma. Now that I think about it, there were problems everywhere.

"You're right to be angry. She's on the Lu family's paycheck, how dare she side with outsiders?"

"Young Master dotes on you the most. If he had known she dared to treat you so disrespectfully, he would definitely have stood up for you!"

The eldest son of the Lu family? That devoted second male lead who dotes on his sister?

Just as Lu Sijian was about to say something, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring, so she gestured for Wang Ma to open the door.
