After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Actually, Lu Sijian had pretty much figured it out at the hospital that day, and now the investigation data has filled in the missing piece of the puzzle.

Old Liao came from a good family. With the help of his family, he bought a house in Yuncheng early on and also opened a small foreign trade company.

The foreign trade company was a small family workshop with only two employees. Because the boss was unwilling to negotiate business, the company was constantly short of staff and often couldn't close down.

Ten years ago, Lao Liao met his true love. In order to get a divorce and to prevent his ex-wife from taking away other assets, he packed up the shell company and gave it to her.

His ex-wife was also very hardworking. She worked hard to build her business when she had nothing, and gradually the company started to improve. Over the course of more than ten years, she accumulated a substantial fortune.

Old Liao's life got worse and worse. He squandered all his wealth, sold his house to pay off debts, and his true love left him because she couldn't stand the poverty.

He learned by chance about his ex-wife's current situation and immediately felt resentful.

If it weren't for the resources and connections I left behind, how could my ex-wife have earned so much money? How could she be living such a good life now?

It's really wrong of someone who's so rich to not know how to repay the kindness of someone who helped them.

However, it doesn't matter that she is immature; I am willing to accommodate her and pursue her again.

Since his ex-wife had built such a large business, she was certainly not stupid. She ignored her ex-husband's harassment and directly called security.

Old Liao was unwilling to accept being rejected. That woman had practically thrown herself at him back then, and now that he was even more gentle and considerate, how could she not be tempted?

He thought about it for a long time and felt that he had found the crux of the problem: she must be having an affair!

Because of this suspicion, he began to stalk and harass his ex-wife relentlessly.

He once followed his ex-wife to the hospital and ran into the caregiver Chen Xin. When Chen Xin told him that his ex-wife had come to the hospital to meet Dr. Xie in secret, he immediately believed it!

As for Chen Xin, he simply saw a woman driving a luxury car and, because his wife and daughter praised Dr. Xie, he harbored resentment and casually fabricated a few rumors.

This was a trivial matter in his past life; whenever he saw wealthy people entering and leaving the hospital, he would speculate about their love lives.

The only difference is that this time, his guess was being smeared by others, and Lao Liao was even swearing on it. No wonder his ex-wife was dressed up and made up when she went to the hospital; she really was having an affair.

Chen Xin thought he was extremely clever and guessed the truth of the matter with just a casual remark.

The two often ate and drank together, sharing fabricated rumors that they believed in one another.

The whole thing is incredibly unbelievable. Who would have thought that the truth would be like this?

After reading the information, Lu Sijian didn't say much and got up to go to the restroom.

While she was washing her hands, the system couldn't resist.

[I told you not to meddle in other people's business, and look, it's all a thankless task.] The tone was somewhat gloating.

"So, is this why Mu Liangyue happened to be discharged from the hospital to avoid it?" Lu Sijian asked calmly.

The system paused for a moment: [What?]

“If getting involved in this matter is more beneficial than harmful, given the female lead’s halo, Mu Liangyue will definitely run into her head-on.” Lu Sijian looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. “Really, I thought I could get away with it, but the female lead’s halo is still stronger.”

The system hesitated to speak for a moment.

"So, you don't really want to save people, you just want to take advantage of the situation and gain a good reputation?" the system couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Lu Sijian replied calmly, "Yeah, what else did you think?"

system:【……】

It was overthinking things; it thought she had a change of heart, but it turned out to be all about calculation and self-interest.

As Lu Sijian walked out of the restroom, she saw Sheng Yunchao standing in the corridor.

The young man had delicate and beautiful features, with captivating and affectionate peach blossom eyes. His smile was mesmerizing, while his demeanor was somewhat aloof and detached when he wasn't smiling.

He simply stood there, his long eyelashes lowered, and captivated the hearts of every girl who passed by.

"Hey handsome, why are you standing here all alone?" A bold girl couldn't resist going up to her and striking up a conversation.

Seeing him look up at her, the girl blushed and boldly asked, "Could we exchange contact information?"

Sheng Yunchao retracted his long legs, which he had been holding up: "Sorry, I can't."

The girl turned her head and saw Lu Sijian walking over, then suddenly realized, "Is it because of her?"

“No, it’s because I never add non-business partners’ contact information.” Sheng Yunchao’s attitude was polite and distant, but definitely not cold.

The girl was somewhat disappointed, but quickly turned and left without lingering.

After all, young people not only have good looks, but they are also very rich!

The authoritative tone indicated a strong, high-level decision-maker, giving the girl the illusion of making eye contact with the company's top boss during a meeting.

It's easy to imagine that the threshold for becoming his business partner must be extremely high!

"Senior." Sheng Yunchao turned around and met Lu Sijian's gaze. A smile spread across his eyes, a smile full of tenderness.

Lu Sijian greeted them, and the two walked back.

[That's strange. Wasn't this person going to great lengths to poach my girlfriend? Why didn't they mention it was because of me?]

[This line is a classic sweet and romantic scene in novels, where the male lead usually uses it to express his deep affection!]

Sheng Yunchao said casually, "Is the senior wondering why I didn't say it was because of you?"

Lu Sijian: "..."

Could he possibly read minds?

Sheng Yunchao turned to look at her, "I'm not saying anything because it's none of your business, so why should I shift the blame onto you?"

"Am I such a terrible person that I can't even maintain basic self-discipline, let alone have any self-respect?"

Lu Sijian understood what he meant.

[Yes, in fact, this statement is neither sweet nor indulgent; it only reveals a shirking of responsibility.]

[He clearly used the woman as a shield, yet he thought he was incredibly devoted.]

Sheng Yunchao chuckled and lowered his eyes, "Great minds think alike."

As soon as the two entered the private room, Lu Sijian unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

The man stood casually, even slovenly, as he smoked a cigarette and fiddled with his lighter.

Across from him, a woman looked like she was about to cry, and was whispering something.

-

Zhou Guyang had already seen Lu Sijian, but after thinking about it, he decided not to avoid her.

You can't hide forever if you're going to have a relationship openly and honestly.

That woman is such a busybody, she probably thinks she has too long to live.

Zhou Guyang has a bad temper. Even though he has toned it down a bit after starting work, he still has a wild and untamed nature, full of masculinity.

Today's dinner was organized by one of the managers from his client's side. The other party was clearly interested in him and was very proactive in inviting him out to dinner.

The choice of this elegant Black Pearl restaurant as the venue speaks volumes about the nature of this date.

Zhou Guyang knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't say much. The two parties signed the contract yesterday, and everything was settled, so he agreed to today's dinner.

Not only that, he also invited several of his brothers to come along.

The group of people were eating and drinking, having a lively time, but the smile on the woman's face grew increasingly stiff.

Finally, unable to resist any longer, he went back in after paying the bill and called him out to talk.

"If you don't like me, why did you agree to go out to dinner?" the woman couldn't help but ask.
