After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Halfway through the journey, Lu Sijian's phone rang several times.

Someone messaged her privately, their tone concerned.

He Wenyuan: [Congratulations on your recovery! I heard you came to celebrate my grandma's birthday with Lingjun today? Thank you for making the trip.]

Lu Lingbai glanced at the message and said with a smile, "Wen Yuan has learned to care about people now."

He, Zhao Ke, and Lou Xiao were high school classmates. He Wenyuan was a year younger than them, but he also liked to hang out with Lou Xiao.

Perhaps because of his young age and the fact that he was the most pampered child at home, He Wenyuan has always been flamboyant and somewhat carefree.

Lu Lingbo quickly looked away, no longer staring at his sister's phone, as it would be impolite.

Lu Sijian smiled slightly, but she wasn't necessarily concerned about others.

Sure enough, she replied with a "thank you," and the other person didn't even bother to be polite the next second.

He Wenyuan: [It's like this, your cousin is away on a business trip recently and may not have time to keep an eye on you, but shouldn't you delete your posts on WeChat Moments?]

His grandmother was a girl from the Lou family. Although she was only Lou Xiao's great-aunt, they were very close.

When Lou Xiao was young, his family went through a crisis, and all the relatives passed the buck. His grandmother couldn't stand it anymore and took Lou Xiao back to the He family.

Over the years, Lou Xiao has always remembered the kindness he received when he was a child. He is indifferent to other relatives, but he is very respectful to his grandmother.

Even the engagement banquet was arranged, with his grandmother to be the witness.

Therefore, he believed he was qualified to take Lou Xiao's place in disciplining Lu Sijian.

After sending this message, He Wenyuan gave Zhao Ke an OK sign.

Brother Zhao is too roundabout, always concerned about the other party's feelings. He's different; he never needs to give anyone face.

Besides, Lu Sijian came to the He family today to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, wasn't it just to curry favor with the Lou family's relatives?

She used to be very good at pleasing his family, and she would visit the He family during holidays, always being very attentive.

“My word still carries weight; she wouldn’t dare disobey,” He Wenyuan said with a smile.

After all, his grandmother represents his husband's family. Would Lu Sijian dare to cause trouble if she wanted to marry into the family?

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment. So the problem that had been bothering him for so long was really solved so easily?

He Wenyuan's phone beeped, and he said with a smile, "Check her Moments, she's definitely already deleted it..."

His smile vanished abruptly, and he stared at his phone in disbelief.

Lu Sijian: [It shouldn't be deleted.]

He Wenyuan came to his senses. Had he not explained himself clearly enough?

He Wenyuan: [My cousin is at a crucial stage in his career. Your indiscriminate posting on social media, revealing his private life, will affect investors' evaluation of him, and consequently, the company's stock price! A proper fiancée should be sensible and discreet. Don't you understand that?]

Lu Sijian didn't say anything, opened her stock trading software, took a screenshot of the K-line chart of He's Group's stock, and sent it over.

Unfortunately, the Ho family's stock has been falling for the past six months, so their annual report this year will likely be very poor.

I don't understand, but you seem to know so much. Is it because of your experience?

She didn't even need to send a text message; He Wenyuan was already furious.

He stood up angrily, "No, I'm going to tell my grandma about this! She's too arrogant. Does she even respect the He family anymore?"

Zhao Ke pulled him back, hesitating, "Isn't this a bad idea? Lu Lingjun is quite protective of his own people, let's not make things unpleasant."

He recounted what happened at the jewelry exhibition, a story he vividly remembered, saying he had never seen anything so unreasonable.

He still carries the stigma of having laid a hand on Lu Sijian, which is incredibly frustrating.

He Wenyuan was shocked to hear this. "She's slandering you, Brother Zhao, how can you tolerate this?"

This is outrageous! They're actually trying to ride roughshod over their brothers.

"I'm going to tell my cousin and show him what that woman is really like!" He Wenyuan sneered.

He refused to believe that Lou Xiao would prioritize woman over friendship, disregard brotherhood, and side with that woman.

Zhao Ke hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "You can tell me if you want, but there's something you can tell Xiao Ge at the same time."

Upon learning that the Lu family had sent Sister Ye to grow vegetables in the back mountains that day, he later had someone contact Sister Ye.

At the time, Sister Ye seemed very scared and refused to say anything.

He casually lied and said that Lou Xiao had sent him, which made Sister Ye burst into tears, saying that she had been forced into it.

Lu Sijian held a contract and forced her to grow vegetables in the back mountain; if she refused or told anyone about it, he would try to get back the extra wages he had paid her.

She worked hard for the Lu family for so many years, and all the money she earned was sent back to her hometown to pay for her daughter's medical treatment. Where would she get the money now?

A few hundred thousand yuan is nothing to a rich person, but it can crush an ordinary family.

Moreover, she doesn't come from an ordinary family, but from a poor family that fell back into poverty due to illness.

Zhao Ke was shocked to hear this. He wanted to take Sister Ye away, but she refused to leave... She didn't trust anyone now and said she would only leave if Lou Xiao came.

After all, even Lu Lingbo, who was once her closest friend, could so heartlessly abandon her in the back mountains and leave her unattended. She couldn't trust anyone else.

Zhao Ke sighed: "I haven't told Xiao Ge about this yet, because I'm afraid it will affect his work. I can only let Sister Ye continue to suffer."

"But Brother Xiao should be back soon."

He Wenyuan was furious when he heard this.

The reason why Sister Ye was being targeted was because she let Lou Xiao hug Mu Liangyue. In other words, Lu Sijian was targeting Mu Liangyue.

He knew that Liang Yue had always hoped that Lu Sijian would wake up so as to alleviate her guilt.

Lu Sijian did wake up, but Liang Yue wasn't happy at all; instead, she looked even busier and more haggard.

So this is the root of Liangyue's unhappiness: she has been bullied and hurt by Lu Sijian all along.

The fact that the other party tormented Sister Ye like this is obvious; it's definitely due to a competitive mentality, and they can't stand how popular Liang Yue is.

He had heard that people in a vegetative state suffer from muscle atrophy, so he could imagine what kind of mess Lu Sijian was in right now.

She was once the most famous socialite in Yuncheng, but now she's probably turned into an ugly monster, ugly inside and out.

Why would a disabled person in a vegetative state dare to pester Brother Xiao?

Since the other party is so arrogant, he'll teach her a lesson!

He wanted to show her that ugly girls should go back to the shadows and that bullying pretty girls is pointless.

-

Lu Sijian angered He Wenyuan so much that he blocked her, but she still went to the banquet without changing her expression.

Lu Lingjun took her and Lu Lingbai to first offer birthday wishes to the birthday celebrant.

When Grandma He saw that Lu Lingjun was about to take Lu Sijian away, she hurriedly said, "Let Sijian sit at our table."

Although it was a birthday banquet, it was still a social occasion, so the He family divided the seating into men's and women's sides.

Lu Lingjun originally wanted to take his younger sister to meet his uncles and elders, but he gave up the idea because he was still not in good health.

My sister shouldn't be overworked right now, and she definitely shouldn't drink alcohol. It would be good for her to keep the old lady company and chat with her.

“Then you stay here. Abo and I will go to the next table. Call me if you need anything,” Lu Lingjun said gently.

Lu Sijian waved to him and, without any hesitation, sat down next to Old Madam He.

Grandma He looked Lu Sijian up and down and felt that her grandson's assessment was biased. Lu Sijian might be disabled, but he shouldn't be ugly, right?

She's just too thin; she doesn't look very fortunate.
