After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

When Sister Ye learned that the Lu family was not home, she secretly ran out from the back mountain.

There was no signal on the back hill, so she thought of making a video call to Lou Xiao from the front yard to see if he had returned.

She had originally planned to continue putting on an act on the back mountain, making herself look pitiful in order to gain sympathy.

But the young master was too powerful. When he came back, he brought evidence from who-knows-where and accused her of taking kickbacks!

Seeing that she would not only not receive a million-dollar compensation, but also face the recovery of the stolen money, she was filled with regret, thinking that she shouldn't have been so foolish as to stay that day.

At the time, she thought that Lu Lingbo was the child she had raised herself, and that he should be able to soften his heart and come to see her, but afterwards he completely forgot about her in the back mountain.

They have absolutely no conscience.

Her fingers have become quite rough from planting and watering vegetables these past few days. How can this continue?

Furthermore, the young master said that since her salary was for her daughter's medical treatment, all future salaries would be directly deposited into her daughter's account.

Anyway, she had food and lodging provided by the Lu family, so there was nothing for her to spend money on.

The more Ye's wife thought about it, the more regretful she became; she was filled with remorse.

"Ye Fengling, hurry back to the back mountain. This is not a place for you," a security guard came over to remind her.

When Aunt Ye heard the car sound, she was startled, but she immediately realized that the sound was not right and quickly ran out.

She was so happy when she saw Lou Xiao's car drive into the yard that she almost laughed out loud.

"See? Young Master Lou is here to pick me up!"

The security guard looked at her in surprise. "Is it really true?"

The car was about to enter, but then, for some unknown reason, it slowly reversed and drove away.

Aunt Ye's smile vanished abruptly. Realizing the car was about to leave, she hurriedly chased after it, calling out, "Young Master Lou! I'm here!"

The car drove away without hesitation.

Lu Lingjun learned about what happened at the guard post as soon as the plane landed.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lu Lingbo rubbed his face, trying to clear his head.

"It's nothing." He hung up the phone calmly, looking at his second brother. He hadn't told his sister-in-law anything about what happened.

"Ah Jian, Lou Xiao has returned to Yuncheng. He just came to your house looking for you," Lu Lingjun said.

Lu Lingbo paused for a moment: "That's a real pity. He must have gone to your house to look for you the moment the plane landed, but you weren't home."

Lu Sijian smiled meaningfully: "Yes, it's a real pity."

[What?! You came to my house all night? I was back last night, okay? And you even came to my rescue!]

She looked at her phone and saw that Lou Xiao had finally replied to her message, but it was too long for her to read, so she decided not to reply.

Lu Lingbai assumed that the young couple had discussed it, but Lu Lingjun's expression became much more serious.

The younger sister only complained in her heart, but said it aloud: Lou Xiao's return last night was most likely kept a secret from everyone.

What he couldn't understand was why the person who used to put his sister first had suddenly changed his attitude.

-

The next day, Lou Xiao spent the whole day looking at his phone. Lu Sijian hadn't replied to his messages the night before, but he still found out from Lu Lingbai that they had arrived at the hotel safely.

She's probably too tired to reply, that's okay, she should reply the next morning.

Then they waited and waited until the afternoon of the next day.

"Brother Xiao." Zhao Ke and He Wenyuan made a special trip over in the afternoon after learning that Lou Xiao had returned.

"Why didn't you tell me you were back yesterday? I've arranged a welcome banquet at the Imperial Court tonight, so let's brothers have a good celebration."

Lou Xiao nodded: "Okay, you arrange it, I have no problem."

He didn't actually come back yesterday; it's been three days since he returned. He really should celebrate with his brothers.

"Then I'll go and tell everyone to get here." Zhao Ke said, walking to the side to make a phone call, and soon he had everyone gathered.

He Wenyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't we invite your sister-in-law too? I want to apologize to her in front of you, cousin."

Lou Xiao glanced at him in surprise. "It's kind of you to be so thoughtful, but A-Jian isn't in Yuncheng today."

Lou Xiao's phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated twice, and he quickly picked it up.

He Wenyuan: "..."

Why are you in such a hurry? You're not as calm and collected as you usually are.

Lou Xiao was initially disappointed when he saw that the message was from Lu Lingbo, but his eyes lit up when he clicked on it and saw that they would be returning by plane tonight.

He pressed a button on the landline, and soon his assistant knocked on the door and came in.

"Arrange a car at 7 o'clock; I need to go to the airport to pick someone up."

Zhao Ke walked over in surprise and hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, didn't we agree on a welcome dinner tonight?"

Lou Xiao: "Cancel it, I can't participate."

Even after leaving the office, Zhao Ke was still in a daze. "Who on earth was at the airport?"

"Who else could it be but Lu Sijian?" He Wenyuan sneered when he saw that the person who sent the text message was Lu Lingbai.

That woman is really persistent; she ruined their brothers' get-together.

This isn't over yet; he'll make her pay sooner or later.

Airport, waiting hall.

The VIP lounge was extremely quiet, with most people busy working on their computers.

Lu Sijian ate too much for dinner and, feeling bored, took Wang Ma for a stroll and then went outside.

In the corner, a young man was squatting there making a phone call.

"What? The client reviewed the proposal and said they're not going to invest? No way! How can this happen? What about my plane ticket?"

"Refund? No way! I redeemed this ticket with frequent flyer miles, it's non-refundable!"

The young man grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration.

Lu Sijian glanced at the other person's thick hair... truly, youth doesn't know the beauty of hair.

Just as she was about to leave, the young man suddenly looked up and revealed a stubble-bearded face.

"Oh dear!" Wang Ma was startled.

The young man shifted his position, turning his back to them somewhat embarrassed.

When they returned to the VIP room, they found that no one was eating the self-service snacks, drinks, and fruits. Wang Ma kicked a few of them and then secretly went out again.

A few minutes later, Wang Ma returned and said to Lu Sijian with a sigh, "Xiao Xian is really pitiful. He started a movie project, but now the funding has been withdrawn, and he is looking for investors again. They wanted him to fly over to discuss it, and he was about to board the plane when they called to say they were not going to talk anymore."

Lu Sijian: "Small thread?"

Wang Ma: Oh, right, his surname is Xian. Isn't that a strange surname?

Lu Sijian looked at Wang Ma with a strange expression. Wang Ma had just picked up Lou Xiao's golden finger so easily.

Wang Ma was a little confused. "Young Miss, what's wrong?"

"Where is that Xiao Xian? Tell him not to cancel his ticket! I'll find someone to discuss cooperation with him right away!"

Wang Ma followed Lu Sijian out, confused. "He said that although the ticket couldn't be refunded, he wasn't going to take it and there was no need to waste time making the long trip."

Xian Jiahe had a clear idea of ​​the costs and benefits. He had only redeemed a one-way plane ticket and hadn't bought a return ticket yet. Leaving the airport now would minimize his losses.

He was a little annoyed. He had come all the way from the film set, only to be teased, so he couldn't help but complain to the older woman.

But why did the older woman bring that girl over again?

"What did you say? You want to invest in my movie?" Xian Jiahe stood up abruptly. Did he really mean it?

"It's not me, it's her who wants to invest in your movie."
