After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Is this alright now?" Lou Changling forced a smile. "I was really just chatting casually with a friend..."

"Just chatting? You're so old, don't you know what you should and shouldn't say?"

"The Lou Group issued a clarification statement, and you immediately undermined it. Are you brainless?"

The directors were not buying it and started cursing at Lou Changling.

Lou Changling's face twisted slightly, but he still had to force a smile.

Back then, Lou Xiao was able to control the Lou Group thanks to the support of these directors.

In fact, Lou Changling did consider taking over the company back then, but he had absolutely no management skills. When the company was in his hands, it was almost turned into a mess.

At that time, several directors pointed their fingers at him and berated him, telling him to be self-aware and step down automatically if he was incompetent. That's why he pulled Lou Xiao out to take his place.

But as the years have passed, Lou Xiao has become more and more successful, and his uncle's status in the company has also risen. It has been a long time since anyone has dared to scold him like that.

Moreover, his assistant and secretary were right outside his office, which made him lose face.

Although Lou Changling was resentful, he knew clearly who he was relying on now.

He quickly explained to Lou Xiao, "Xiao, I really didn't mean to embarrass you..."

Lou Xiao's expression was solemn: "Uncle, you shouldn't have done that. You almost made things get out of control."

The Lou Group issued a clarification statement, but the Lou family secretly stamped the marriage agreement. What do the Lian family think about this?

Lou Changling apologized again, and only then did Lou Xiao see the directors off.

When no one was left in the meeting room, Lou Changling angrily smashed his phone away.

In fact, Lu Sijian's guess was correct. When Lou Xiao asked the public relations department to prepare a clarification statement, Lou Changling was the first to receive the news and immediately pulled several directors to stop it.

Originally, the board members were trying to stop Lou Xiao from making the announcement, but then Lian Zheng called and asked the Lou Group to clarify the matter.

The board members agreed to have the public relations department draft a statement for various reasons.

Lou Changling was annoyed that he couldn't stop it, so he deliberately posted those few words in the group.

In this way, everyone will think that the clarification statement is a public relations tactic, and that what he said is the truth. Public opinion will continue to ferment, and he doesn't believe that Lu Sijian can get rid of the label of mistress.

Who knew that Sheng Lan, that idiot, would actually let Lian Zheng run into him!

What surprised him even more was that Lian Jia and Lian Buman were willing to get involved in the mess and take the initiative to clarify the matter without telling them!

He's completely humiliated now and hasn't dared to see anyone for a while.

-

Sheng Lan was stunned for a long time before she reacted.

Oh no, her nephew tricked her crush with his own phone!

"Sheng Yunchao, give me back my phone! This is my phone!" She was so angry she almost fainted.

How could she possibly face Lou Changling now?

Sheng Yunchao checked his phone, quietly blocked Lou Changling, and then returned the phone to Sheng Lan.

"Auntie, so you were the one who helped Miss Lian post the clarification video in the group. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that such a rumor-mongering group existed. Thanks to you, we were able to debunk the rumors immediately and stop them from spreading."

Lian Zheng was also very grateful. "Thank you for speaking up for Manman in the group just now. I will definitely have Manman come to thank you in person another day."

Sheng Lan: "..."

No, she did it purely for gossip and to grab the spotlight!

Now that she has offended her crush, she is so worried that she is going bald. If Lian Buman were to come and thank her, wouldn't that be harming her?

Lian Zheng left as soon as he finished speaking, without even asking Sheng Yunchao to see him off.

Sheng Lan looked at his nephew and suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Sheng Yunchao. Why is he so eager to help? Is it because... he wants to arrange a marriage with Lian Buman?

Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense.

No wonder the Lian family was so adamant, no wonder Lian Buman swore she had never liked Lou Xiao!

Sheng Lan was so envious she almost cried. Why could others fall in love or get engaged whenever they wanted?

She's been pursuing Lou Changling for a long time, but hasn't made any progress and has even offended him.

Back home, upon seeing Uncle Ling, Sheng Lan couldn't help but complain, "Uncle Ling, Yun Chao has really gone too far! He betrayed my love for his own!"

Uncle Ling nearly choked on his tea, then gathered his thoughts, "Young Master is actually suffering inside!"

Falling in love with someone else's fiancée must be incredibly painful, right? It's like self-torture watching others be in love, only daring to twist and go crazy in the shadows.

Sheng Lan: "What's there for him to suffer about? Is it because she has a boyfriend?"

Uncle Ling sighed: "So you understand now, right?"

He could sense that the closer the engagement banquet got, the less the young master slept and the more ruthless he became in dealing with the Lou Group.

Sheng Lan was speechless. "If he wants to, he can just go and rob it. What's the big deal?"

Could that pretty boy possibly outsmart him?

Uncle Ling: "..."

That seems to make sense! Is the young master planning to steal the bride at the engagement banquet? Is he really going to do something so exciting?

-

Lu Sijian saw Lou Xiao's call and quickly answered it.

In front of Shen Baolin, she smiled and thanked the other party, "Thank you for persuading the Lian Group to issue that clarification statement."

On the other end of the phone, Lou Xiao's voice froze, "Ah Jian, have you misunderstood something?"

Lu Sijian: "There's no misunderstanding. Baolin confirmed with you whether you were the one who asked Lian's Group to issue the clarification statement, and you said yes. Isn't that right?"

[No way, Shen Baolin actually made such a huge blunder?]

Hearing this, Shen Baolin quickly came over and said, "Cousin, you did it, so there's nothing wrong with admitting it."

She guessed that Lou Xiao was keeping it a secret because he was afraid that Lu Sijian would feel guilty if she found out.

But she wanted Lu Sijian to know just how much her cousin had sacrificed for her.

Lou Xiao took a deep breath; he already knew where the problem lay.

I misheard her and thought she was referring to the Lou Group, which is why I replied "yes".

Originally, it was thought that only Shen Baolin knew, but unexpectedly, Shen Baolin told Lu Sijian, and now she has embarrassed herself in front of Lu Sijian.

"I didn't do it." Lou Xiao's voice sounded somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Baolin was completely stunned and hurriedly asked, "If it wasn't you, then who could it be?"

Lou Xiao: "...Shen Baolin, shut up!"

Shen Baolin was so intimidated that she didn't dare to say another word.

Lou Xiao: "Ah Jian, I'm sorry."

Lu Sijian: "Why should I apologize? You've already had the Lou Group clarify things for me, that's enough, thank you."

Lou Xiao: "..."

He always felt that Lu Sijian's "thank you" sounded sarcastic.

She's so smart, and she knows what kind of obstacles she'll encounter in the Lou Group. She'll definitely be able to guess that this whole thing is a misunderstanding.

Besides, Sheng Yunchao went to great lengths to do so much, how could he not try to curry favor with her?

She knew the truth all along, but she pretended not to know, wasn't that a mockery of her fiancé's incompetence?
