After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

That night, Lou Xiao got out of the airport and got into his own car.

This business trip was long and fast-paced, and even he couldn't help but feel a bit tired.

The city lights receded into the distance as the driver asked, "Mr. Lou, are we heading to the Lu family's residence now?"

In the past, Lou Xiao would always go to see Lu Sijian as soon as he returned from a business trip, and the driver thought it would be the same this time.

After all, the young couple had been apart for a while, so they definitely wanted to see each other as soon as possible.

Lou Xiao paused for a moment, unable to explain why, but for a instant he felt an intense resistance, “I’m not going to the Lu family.”

The driver seemed a little surprised and asked cautiously, "So, do you want to go home now?"

Lou Xiao remained silent for a moment. It was still early, and he didn't really want to go home.

"Let's go to the bar street."

During this business trip, he met a friend who was a professional bartender. The friend brought him a whiskey that amazed him.

My friend said he built a distillery at the foot of a snow-capped mountain specifically to produce this whisky, but due to limited production, it is currently only supplied to his own bar.

Before parting, the other party left the address of Yuncheng Bar Street, welcoming him to visit the bar, where he could eat for free.

He wasn't after the free meal; he just suddenly wanted to experience that slightly tipsy feeling again.

This way, I can temporarily forget everything in reality and stop worrying about what kind of person my fiancée really is.

-

After the car stopped, the driver said, "Miss, I'll wait for you here."

Lu Sijian nodded and walked towards the brightly lit commercial street.

She suddenly wanted to eat cake that night, and when she told Lu Lingjun on WeChat, he immediately bought her a Black Diamond VIP membership at the store and even arranged for someone to send the cake back to her.

Since she had nothing better to do and didn't want to just stand there staring at Lu Lingbai at home, she came to pick it up herself.

Because she was a Black Diamond VIP, all the handsome 185cm tall men in the store lined up to welcome her, their enthusiasm making it seem as if she wasn't there to buy a cake, but rather as if the owner was on an inspection tour.

Even when they left, they were seen off in a procession.

Two handsome guys were helping her carry the cake to her car.

“Hey, isn’t that Mu Liangyue?” Aunt Wang suddenly said.

Lu Sijian saw Mu Liangyue earlier than she did.

The other person, who had been sitting by the fountain, stood up abruptly with his suitcase in hand the moment he saw her, his expression clearly showing nervousness.

The two gazed at each other across the fountain, the city's dazzling lights reflected in their eyes.

Children were playing in the square. Before they could bump into Lu Sijian, the 185cm tall handsome guy easily stopped them.

Two seconds later, Mu Liangyue was the first to look away, dragging her suitcase and turning to leave.

Lu Sijian got into the car and told the driver not to drive and to wait a little longer.

Twenty minutes later, she sighed, "We live a life of extravagance and debauchery, but some people are going to end up homeless again."

She waited for so long, but Mu Liangyue still didn't come to ask her for help.

Wang Ma didn't quite understand: "Who is it? Why are they homeless and don't even have money for a hotel?"

Lu Sijian was stunned for a moment; this was a line of thinking she had never considered before.

Yeah, why end up homeless? If you don't have much money, can't you just find a budget hotel to stay in for a few nights?

Mu Liangyue wasn't without income; she received a salary for helping Professor Wu Qingfeng copy ancient paintings, and because of their scarcity in the market and her exquisite skills, the salary was quite high.

Not only that, she also went on the "Smart Tower" challenge program with three Lu Lingchens, and won at least several hundred thousand yuan in prize money.

No wonder Wang Ma never took the matter of driving Mu Liangyue away to heart. If there's nowhere to stay, can't she just stay in a hotel?

“Maybe she really doesn’t have any money,” Lu Sijian said after thinking for a moment.

Mu Liangyue's parents owed a lot of debt and had long since gone into hiding to avoid their creditors.

The house where the family originally lived was also reclaimed, which left Mu Liangyue homeless.

Although she has the ability to earn money, she always likes to help others for free, so she is always short of money and easily ends up in a miserable state, having to be rescued by various men.

Lu Sijian sighed once again, realizing that being the female lead, enduring so much suffering, was truly not easy.

-

Mu Liangyue didn't know why, but the moment she saw Lu Sijian, she felt scared.

Of course she knew that what those people said might not be credible, and Lu Sijian was not that kind of person.

Even if Lu Sijian herself did not give the order, the people around her would still come one after another to torment her.

She has faced countless difficulties over the past three years and has long been used to it.

You can treat her however you want, but why persecute my cousin's family?

It's laughable that she dreamed of being friends with Lu Sijian, but in an instant, she was sent back to hell.

Just like Lu Sijian, who spends tens of thousands on a cake and is served by a bunch of handsome men, while I only dare to buy the last of the flawed cakes left over from the cake shop for my birthday, and I get eye-rolls from the shop assistants who call me a poor wretch.

They were from completely different worlds.

Hey! Get out of the way!

Hearing the sound, Mu Liangyue hurriedly looked up and saw several skateboarding teenagers rushing over.

She was startled and instinctively stepped back, but tripped and fell into the fountain with a thud.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether my heart was colder or my body was colder.

-

"Hey pretty girl, are you dragging your suitcase alone because you haven't found a place to stay?"

Hearing the question, Mu Liangyue snapped out of her daze. She looked at the three middle-aged men in front of her and asked, "Uncles, does any of you have a house to rent?"

“Yes, I do. I’ll take you to see the house,” one of them said.

Mu Liangyue hesitated for a moment before following him. "Thank you."

On the road.

"Your clothes look wet, you need to change them and take a hot shower right away."

"You don't look well, do you have a fever?" the man said, touching her hand.

Mu Liangyue felt a chill run down her spine and said in a trembling voice, "I...I won't rent your house anymore!"

She turned to leave, dragging her suitcase, but her steps were weak and she couldn't walk fast. Soon, three middle-aged men caught up and grabbed her suitcase.

"Don't go, little beauty."

Mu Liangyue was both angry and helpless, her eyes reddening with anxiety. "You, let go!"

Just as the middle-aged man in the lead was about to speak, he was suddenly kicked to the ground from behind.

Mu Liangyue almost thought she was doomed, but Lou Xiao descended from the sky and saved her.

Tears instantly welled up in her eyes: "Young Master Lou!"

The middle-aged man grumbled as he got up, "Damn it, where did this pretty boy come from? Does he know who I am...?"

Lou Xiao, filled with malice, rolled up his sleeves, took off his watch and threw it to Mu Liangyue, then stepped forward and started fighting with the three middle-aged men.

"Miss Mu, please take this watch. This Richard Mille watch is a collector's item, and it's worth tens of millions," the assistant reminded her with a smile.

Mu Liangyue froze on the spot, clutching the watch, afraid to go any further, lest she damage such an expensive timepiece.

A few minutes later, the three middle-aged men fled in panic.

Lou Xiao glanced around and saw Mu Liangyue's departing figure; his expression immediately darkened.

He strode over and grabbed her. "Don't you have any manners? I saved you, and you don't even want to thank me?"

Mu Liangyue lowered her gaze, avoiding his eyes. "Thank you, I've returned the watch to my assistant."

Lou Xiao was even angrier. What was she doing, deliberately avoiding him?

Just as he was about to say something, Mu Liangyue suddenly collapsed.
