After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Whether you were eavesdropping or not, you know perfectly well!" Zhu Jinming paused, "Otherwise, tell me, where were you during that time?"

"I don't understand. Shouldn't you be the one explaining why you're slandering me?"

Lu Sijian sincerely suggested, "Instead of arguing here, why don't we all go and watch the surveillance footage together?"

Perhaps because they enjoyed the spectacle, a few guests remained standing in the corridor, clearly interested in what would happen next.

Having finished discussing business and having nothing else to do, I was happy to be a witness for the young woman.

Zhu Jinming's eyes grew increasingly sinister, while Lu Sijian's smile grew wider and wider.

[He's really afraid to watch the security footage? Is he afraid the guy will be exposed?]

[If he'd rather be falsely accused than have surveillance footage to prove his innocence, then I probably know who that man is.]

Shen Baolin couldn't help but glance sideways. So who exactly was that man? Why was one of them clinging to the surveillance footage while the other was trying to hide it?

"Since you refuse, shouldn't you apologize to me?" Lu Sijian asked.

Zhu Jinming stared at Lu Sijian with a gloomy gaze, and the ferocity in his eyes made Xia Youyou secretly startled.

Lu Sijian's gaze remained unwavering, but a few seconds later, Zhu Jinming was the first to look away.

The words "I'm sorry" seemed to be squeezed out one by one from between his teeth.

Lu Sijian: "You still can't learn to apologize, just like before. But I can give you a suggestion: you can talk to Zhao Ke. He happens to have experience."

"Snap!" Zhu Jinming couldn't resist and broke off a tree branch.

Xia Youyou's heart tightened as Zhu Jinming's sinister gaze swept over her. She quickly lowered her head, keeping her eyes down and not daring to breathe.

Zhu Jinming walked away without saying a word, his face grim.

Sigh, what a letdown, he just left like that.

Shen Baolin was truly exasperated with her. Didn't she see how terrifying Zhu Jinming's gloomy face was? She even suspected that Zhu Jinming would suddenly attack someone at any moment.

Why does Lu Sijian always act this way, always jumping on the bandwagon of other people's anger?

"Jian, one should be forgiving when possible," she couldn't help but say.

Lu Sijian: "Baolin, you're right. He was indeed too aggressive. He was so domineering even when he was in the wrong. Are all the Zhu family members this domineering? Then we should all stop doing business with them in the future."

She must have done it on purpose! Shen Baolin was so angry that she simply stopped talking.

An old man in the corridor even smiled and chimed in, "The young lady is right."

Shen Baolin: "..."

The old man left, and the other guests also left.

Xia Youyou hesitated for a moment before walking over and said quietly, "Lu Sijian, you've really ruined my life."

Her heart sank. Men are all concerned about their image, and after today's incident, she probably had no chance with Zhu Jinming.

That's not all; she even eavesdropped along with Lu Sijian! Zhu Jinming definitely thinks she's in cahoots with Lu Sijian!

"I don't even know how to explain this to Young Master Zhu later." Xia Youyou scratched her hair in frustration. She had really racked her brains and was about to go bald.

Shen Baolin coldly replied, "That's your business."

She has always looked down on women who are single-mindedly ambitious, and since she knows what kind of person Xia Youyou is, of course she doesn't give her a friendly look.

“Then let’s not explain,” Lu Sijian replied. “Explaining is a habit of those in a subordinate position. He was the one who pursued you, so why should you explain?”

Shen Baolin: "..."

Is she crazy or is she crazy? Xia Youyou wants to marry into a wealthy family. If she doesn't coax the man, does she expect him to coax her?

Xia Youyou scoffed lightly: "You want me to rebel against the Heavenly Gang? Fine, I'll just put all the blame on you. Who told you to frame me before?"

She seemed thoughtful. "But I was coerced by you in the first place..."

If handled well, it might even be possible to turn the situation around!

Shen Baolin said impatiently, "Then hurry up and go cry to your Young Master Zhu."

Judging from her persistent expression, Lu Sijian's true feelings were probably genuine, and the two eventually got together.

Xia Youyou didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

“If you go back now and just cry a little, Zhu Jinming will definitely dispel his doubts about you, shower you with gifts, and spoil you rotten.”

Shen Baolin couldn't help but frown. Really? Zhu Jinming is a Casanova?

Xia Youyou stopped in her tracks. "He seems to really like me, unlike those men who just talk the talk."

"He even gave me a bracelet worth over a million yuan just to ask me out, but I refused."

She's not naive; she can tell whether the other person is sincere or not.

Many men talk a sweet game, but are actually very stingy. They even expect their girlfriends to pay for meals when they ask them out, because they're afraid the woman will cheat them out of money.

Xia Youyou admits she's ambitious, but swindling money? Forget about it! She never swindles poor men out of money, nor does she ever intend to make a quick buck and run away, or become anyone's mistress.

Having probably seen too many awful men, Zhu Jinming's generosity and thoughtfulness did indeed make her somewhat tempted.

Unfortunately, Zhu Jinming only sees you as a substitute. He likes to throw around gifts, mostly jewelry worth millions, but all of that jewelry belongs to his mother.

[Once they'd tricked the person, they'd have her mother call the police on the grounds that her jewelry had been stolen, forcing Xia Youyou to return the jewelry.]

Shen Baolin was very curious; she had no idea that this was a way to play.

Xia Youyou is still showing off smugly now, but she will soon pay the price for her shortsightedness.

"He'll secretly slip the bracelet into your bag, how generous of him. But once you sleep with him, in less than three months, you'll find out that he stole the bracelet from his mother."

Xia Youyou paused for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Sijian.

Shen Baolin also looked at Lu Sijian with surprise.

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time she had seen Lu Sijian help someone change their fate since she heard Lu Sijian's inner thoughts.

Xia Youyou: "How do you know he stole the bracelet from his mother?"

“Maybe it wasn’t stolen, who knows? Anyway, his mother went to the police, do you think you could refuse to return the bracelet?” Lu Sijian said with a smile.

"This is all just your guess, it's not true." Xia Youyou was in a state of utter confusion.

Lu Sijian: "Let me tell you something serious, Zhu Jinming is having a lot of fun abroad. Aren't you afraid he'll get a disease and infect you?"

[Zhu Jinming passed the cauliflower to you, and then turned around and accused you of being indecent.]

Xia Youyou was stunned.

"I suggest you look up pictures of cauliflower online; I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised," Lu Sijian added.

"You're talking nonsense." Xia Youyou's face turned pale, refusing to believe it, and she turned and ran away in a daze.

Shen Baolin couldn't help but say, "Do you think she'll listen to that? If Zhu Jinming is really that generous, she won't be willing to let go."

Lu Sijian said nonchalantly, "If they can't listen, they can't listen."

It's normal that they won't listen; after all, although we're in cahoots, we're essentially just using each other for our own purposes.

"Then why are you helping her?" Shen Baolin raised her voice, "Not only that, she'll also tell Zhu Jinming that you're spreading rumors!"

Lu Sijian gave her a strange look: "Are you angry? Fine, I won't meddle anymore."
