After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Zhu Jinming turned his head and saw Shen Baolin, his expression changing: "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Shen Baolin rolled her eyes at him: "You're crazy, I just got here."

Someone else was eavesdropping on their conversation. She looked up and called out, "Jane! Where are you? Come out quickly and stop hiding."

Lu Sijian: "..."

She turned her head and met Xia Youyou's resentful gaze.

"It's all your fault that I've suffered so much," Xia Youyou said in a very soft voice.

If Lu Sijian hadn't pulled her away to hide, she would have walked away immediately. After all, to win a man's favor, one must know how to be tactful and understanding.

Now that's bad, if she's caught eavesdropping, she won't get any good points with Zhu Jinming.

Lu Sijian whispered in her ear, "That's not right of you. You're afraid of offending him, but aren't you afraid of offending me?"

Xia Youyou didn't care. Compared to Zhu Jinming, she would much rather offend Lu Sijian.

No matter what, Zhu Jinming is still the most beloved young master of the Zhu family and the best candidate for her future husband.

She looked up and saw the mockery in Lu Sijian's eyes. She paused for a moment, then realized that, up close, the other person's features were truly outstanding...

Shen Baolin's footsteps were already approaching.

Xia Youyou snapped out of her daze, thinking, "Don't blame me for this. Everyone looks out for themselves..."

Just as she made up her mind, she suddenly saw Lu Sijian smile at her.

The next second, a powerful force struck, pushing her body away.

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Baolin quickly went to meet the person. Just as she turned around the artificial hill, she saw someone fall out. She was too close to avoid it, so she could only reach out and help.

Then he hugged Xia Youyou tightly.

The two exchanged a glance, and Shen Baolin's face darkened. She quickly pushed the other person away.

Before Xia Youyou could even feign pitifulness, she met a pair of sinister eyes: "..."

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Jinming asked in a sinister tone.

Xia Youyou's mind raced, and she immediately pointed behind her without hesitation, "It was Lu Sijian who pushed me..."

"Are you talking about me?" Lu Sijian walked over from the other side of the corridor.

Xia Youyou: "..."

There was a passage behind the artificial hill, and her plan was to push Lu Sijian out so she could take the opportunity to leave.

While she was figuring out how much force to use, the other party seized the initiative.

The other party did something I never expected: even after getting away, they didn't leave and actually stood up openly.

Was she trying to shut herself up? She glared angrily at Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian looked completely innocent: "What happened? I don't understand. By the way, Xia Youyou, shouldn't you be with Lian Buman and the others?"

Xia Youyou was furious. She was always the one who acted innocent and naive, but today it was the other way around.

Shen Baolin's gaze swept over Xia Youyou and Zhu Jinming, and she roughly understood.

She wasn't too surprised. Although her parents came from similar backgrounds and she didn't have many troubles, there were always stories of people in the industry pretending to flatter and climb the social ladder.

Xia Youyou could tolerate Lian Buman's bad temper and fawn over the young lady, but she really only saw her as a stepping stone to marry into a wealthy family.

If Lian Buman finds out about this, the world will probably be in an uproar.

Lu Sijian used this as leverage to threaten Xia Youyou. If Xia Youyou had any brains, she should understand that she shouldn't offend Lian Buman before she was certain of marrying into a wealthy family.

"It's nothing, I was just joking. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Lu," Xia Youyou said through gritted teeth, swallowing her anger.

Lu Sijian: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Shen Baolin lowered her gaze and listened quietly to the two acting, but she didn't take it seriously.

Lu Sijian thought he could get away with it this way, but he was being far too naive.

Sure enough, Zhu Jinming couldn't take it anymore: "Lu Sijian, do you think I'm a fool?"

“Of course you’re not stupid,” Lu Sijian said, “but you’re being a bit too irritable. Are you in such a hurry to yell at me for doing something wrong?”

Zhu Jinming sneered repeatedly: "So, you're turning the tables on me! You followed me and eavesdropped on my conversations, and now I can't even speak? Is this the upbringing of the Lu family?"

"Who were you talking to just now?" Lu Sijian asked curiously.

Their argument has disturbed the passing guests.

Zhu Jinming looked at Lu Sijian smugly, knowing that this was no ordinary vegetable market.

The owner of this club is powerful, and the guests who come and go are all business tycoons. They all conduct business here.

These people are self-respecting and cultured; they would never do something as impolite as eavesdropping.

That's why he was chatting idly by the small pond in the courtyard, completely careless, never expecting that someone would be eavesdropping.

Lu Sijian shouldn't be so restrained in this kind of situation. Isn't she afraid of losing face?

Shen Baolin felt embarrassed and hurriedly lowered her head: "A-Jian, stop making trouble, Brother Lingjun is looking for you."

It was Lu Sijian's fault to begin with; she shouldn't have been hiding and eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

What is she feeling guilty about? Never mind, that's not the point.

Xia Youyou glanced at the camera above her head and looked at Lu Sijian.

The meaning in their eyes is clear: the cameras have recorded everything, so why bother making excuses?

Lu Sijian sighed. She wasn't making excuses; she was genuinely curious.

Xia Youyou is quite cautious; is she afraid Zhu Jinming will check the surveillance footage?

She's so naive. Zhu Jinming doesn't need any evidence at all; just the slightest suspicion is enough for him to relentlessly attack me like a mad dog.

[Just like when she later tried to get close to Lu Lingjun, Zhu Jinming, convinced she had cheated on him, bribed the Xia family to marry her off to an old widow, without any regard for reason.]

Shen Baolin never expected to hear about Xia Youyou's final fate at this moment.

She wasn't particularly surprised, after all, Xia Youyou's ending was a fitting retribution.

But this woman is really bold. Not only did she seduce Zhu Jinming, she also wanted to get close to Ling Jun.

Lu Sijian suddenly spoke up: "In that case, why don't we have the store check the surveillance footage? I also want to know who the person who was talking to you just now was."

Zhu Jinming sneered: "Very well, then check the surveillance footage and see who's shameless."

He had never seen anyone so stubborn as to actually hand over the evidence to him.

Xia Youyou was also discouraged. She had hinted to her that there were cameras and she should avoid the topic, but she still brought it up on her own initiative!

Zhu Jinming's phone suddenly rang. He looked down at it and his expression changed drastically.

"Let's go check the surveillance footage," Lu Sijian said. "Please everyone come and help me take a look, and be witnesses."

The club manager came out. Normally, they would never show their club's surveillance footage to anyone, but since the two guests were arguing, they insisted on seeing it... It wasn't that they couldn't be accommodating; after all, they were in business and just wanted to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Zhu Jinming's heels seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he didn't move for a long time.

"Zhu Jinming, hurry up!" Lu Sijian called out as she turned around.

Zhu Jinming didn't speak, but gave her a gloomy look.

Lu Sijian understood his meaning from that look: "You don't want to see the surveillance footage?"

"My God, how can you be like this? You know you're framing me, yet you're still so self-righteous!" Lu Sijian immediately put on an act.

[Great! They've got you covered!]
