After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Mu Liangyue felt extremely uncomfortable. Lou Changling had invited her to a banquet and prepared this dress for her, saying that it was specially designed for her by a designer.

She didn't think much of it at first, but once the dress was directly associated with 159 million, she felt ashamed.

What will others think of her? Especially Lou Xiao, will he think she's the kind of vain woman?

She had never intended to compete with Lian Buman, and now that she had inexplicably won, she was very unhappy.

"Uncle Lou, this dress is so expensive, it's not suitable for me to wear. Could you take me somewhere to change it off?"

Lou Changling's heart tightened; he hadn't yet explained the origin of the dress.

“Liangyue, wait a minute, this dress was actually a gift from the internationally renowned designer Arthur. He said you are his muse…”

Mu Liangyue nodded. "I understand. Thank you and thank him too. But the dress was damaged because of me, so I will pay for it."

Lou Changling: "..."

No, you have no idea!

Lou Changling was so angry he wanted to roar.

Arthur designs clothes exclusively for European royalty, and his gowns for royal appearances are highly sought after, making him famous.

But even with a high status, the audience is limited and the brand awareness is still not enough.

Many people at the scene didn't recognize the name Arthur when he mentioned it.

Without the questioning and betting from Jiang Yuan and others, and without the narration from a few background voices, it would seem too strange for him to go and explain who Arthur is.

[Sigh, I was all set to show off and slap them in the face, but Lian Buman lost so decisively that Jiang Yuan didn't get a chance to bet, and Mu Liangyue wouldn't buy it. My show-off attempt failed.]

[Speaking of which, why does Arthur know Mu Liangyue? Mu Liangyue doesn't know him.]

Shen Baolin couldn't help but glance sideways. Right, why would Arthur know Mu Liangyue?

She waited a few seconds but didn't hear anything more, leaving her feeling uneasy.

Lian Buman transferred the money to Lou Changling and turned to leave.

Lou Changling: "Wait a minute, why did you just say that Liang Yue was spreading rumors? She never lies. You're damaging her reputation like this, shouldn't you apologize to her?"

He's going to expose Lian Buman's affair of hiring Lou Xiao as a stand-in today, and see where she'll put her face.

"She's spreading rumors! She said Song Xiuran looks like Lou Shao!" Jiang Yuan's words were so impulsive that Xia Youyou couldn't stop her.

Lou Changling gave Lou Xiao a meaningful look. "Did she say something wrong?"

Lou Xiao's gaze fell on Song Xiuran, and his face immediately darkened.

"Wrong, how do you look alike?" How can a gigolo who lives off women be said to look like him?

Mu Liangyue felt a little embarrassed. She had started the conversation herself, and she realized that it was inappropriate. "I'm sorry, I misspoke."

"But they do look somewhat alike, especially in profile, where they resemble each other by about six or seven points." Lou Changling deliberately stirred up trouble.

The onlookers also began to scrutinize and compare the two, and their scrutinizing gazes made Song Xiuran somewhat flustered.

"To be honest, they do look somewhat alike."

"However, this man's aura is far inferior to that of Young Master Lou."

"That's right. Young Master Lou took over the Lou family at a very young age. His background, demeanor, and abilities are unmatched by anyone else."

"Could it be that Lian Buman has some feelings for Young Master Lou?"

Lian Buman's face stiffened, and she angrily shouted at the murmuring crowd, "Shut up! Try saying another one of these nonsenses!"

The crowd was silent for a few minutes, feeling threatened by her.

Shen Baolin wasn't afraid of her at all, and sneered, "You did it yourself, but you won't allow others to talk about it? That's ridiculous."

Lian Buman: "Shen Baolin, do you want to die?! Fine, today is your death anniversary, I'll grant your wish!"

Lou Xiao's feelings were somewhat complicated. He knew that Lian Buman had fallen for him back then, but she found a substitute for him. Did she still have feelings for him?

This was too absurd. He had endured it all night, but he couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson on behalf of his father.

"Wait a minute, isn't there some misunderstanding here?" Lu Sijian suddenly asked.

Lou Changling frowned: "What misunderstanding could there be?"

Lu Sijian: "I remember Liang Yue's exact words were that she thought Mr. Song's profile looked a bit like Mr. Lou's, but she didn't say it was Lou Xiao."

She looked Lou Changling up and down. "I feel like you're more like Uncle Lou."

Lou Changling's face immediately darkened, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels: "...You mean this kind of person looks like me?"

The contempt for Song Xiuran was obvious in his tone.

Lu Sijian looked surprised: "Uncle Lou, why are you shouting like that? So what if he looks like you? You don't have to belittle others like that."

Lou Changling always considered himself an old-timer, and was inherently arrogant and looked down on those nouveau riche who lacked substance.

Of course, in his eyes, people like the Lu family were no different from nouveau riche.

He usually uses his gentlemanly demeanor to mask his arrogance, and his witty and humorous style makes him popular in social settings.

Even if he doesn't go into business, many people are willing to befriend him.

Many socialites and wealthy women like his charming and coaxing tricks, finding him mature and attractive.

But now that their harsh words have been exposed, many people are deeply disappointed.

With such a gloomy look on his face, where is the slightest bit of his usual elegant demeanor?

Lian Buman: "Uncle Lou, he is not only my boyfriend, but also your guest. Is this how you treat a guest?"

Lou Changling had made a slip of the tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize to Song Xiuran.

Lu Sijian sighed: "You just said that Mr. Song is like Brother Xiao, and Brother Xiao didn't get angry; now that I say he's like you, you get angry and say that's what kind of person he is."

"So someone like this can resemble Brother Xiao, but not you, is that right?"

"Aren't you two, uncle and nephew, on good terms? So it's okay if I try to sow discord between you, right?"

Lou Changling was furious: "...Lu Sijian, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant!"

"Alright, Uncle, stop talking." Lou Xiao rubbed his temples.

Of course, he wouldn't turn against Lou Changling just because of a few words from Lu Sijian.

However, Lou Changling's subconscious reaction still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Lou Changling forced a smile. "Sijian, you've misunderstood your uncle. But whoever someone looks like is a subjective opinion, so don't take it too seriously. After all, some things are in the past."

Many people immediately sensed a hint of gossip in Lou Changling's words, feeling that Lou Changling's words seemed to have a hidden meaning!

So actually, Lu Sijian was concerned that Song Xiuran looked like Lou Xiao.

Her sudden intervention seemed very suspicious.

Rumors had circulated about the marriage alliance between the Lian and Lou families back then.

Soon after, Lou Xiao personally visited the Lu family with congratulatory gifts, requesting Lu Ting to allow his daughter to be with him, thus dispelling the rumors of a marriage alliance between the Lou and Lian families.

The Lian family actively denied the marriage alliance and even congratulated Lu Tingxi on finding a good son-in-law, so no one believed the marriage alliance at all.

Now, when many people recall what happened back then, their eyes change. It seems there's no smoke without fire; there's something fishy about this matter!
