After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

[Beep, a change in character's favorability detected; dislike value +3]

Lu Sijian hung up the phone happily amidst the awkward atmosphere.

"I haven't done anything yet, is this what it feels like to pick up money while lying down?"

Lou Xiao probably hates Shen Baolin to death right now; she's always trying to trap him.

Shen Baolin never expected that she would make such a big blunder. Thinking about what she had said before to avoid stealing other people's credit, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear.

"Well, Ah Yang and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Zhou Guyang: "Leaving now? It's almost lunchtime. How about I treat you to dinner?"

His attitude towards Lu Sijian has changed a lot recently, and he is very willing to get along with her peacefully.

Seeing Shen Baolin's eagerness to escape, Lu Sijian smiled and said, "Let's forget about it today, maybe next time. Thank you for coming to help me with my ideas today."

Zhou Guyang's gaze lingered on her face for two or three seconds before he left with Shen Baolin.

After a moment's thought, Aunt Wang said, "Miss, isn't he the man who pushed you in the hospital? He's rude and has a bad temper. No wonder I didn't think he was a good person!"

She felt the other person looked familiar, and only just remembered.

Separated by only a wall, Zhou Guyang suddenly stopped, and Shen Baolin also subconsciously pricked up her ears.

Lu Sijian sighed. Wang Ma was just too likely to offend people.

[You should know that Zhou Guyang follows the principle of "never underestimate a young man's potential." Anyone who offends him will face his revenge once he becomes successful.]

“Wang Ma, you’ve misunderstood. He’s actually a very good person. He’s loyal, responsible, handsome, and capable. He’ll definitely become one of the richest people in the future.”

Aunt Wang was shocked: "Really? You think so highly of him?"

"It's not that I think highly of him, it's just that he's really amazing. Okay, don't talk about others like that anymore."

Seeing a waiter approaching, Zhou Guyang quickly pulled Shen Baolin away.

Lu Sijian looked up toward the door, her eyes clear.

Zhou Guyang is a narrow-minded and vindictive person. She doesn't care about him, but she can't let Wang Ma be resented by him.

Of course, if the other party insists on holding a grudge, then she shouldn't blame her for striking first.

On the other side, Zhou Guyang pulled Shen Baolin into the car.

Shen Baolin recently got a new car. Yao Yao took back the old one, saying it was for a high-ranking executive in the company.

This car is a custom model. Although it's more expensive than the previous one, it's pink and doesn't have the same understated, sophisticated, and luxurious feel as the previous one, so Zhou Guyang is unwilling to drive it out.

Today, he was driving a used car worth a little over 100,000 yuan.

Shen Baolin always felt that this kind of car was too much of a waste for him: "When I get my bonus for this quarter, I'll take out a loan to buy you a new car."

Yao Yao probably became suspicious and suddenly cut off her living expenses. Her father, who had always been willing to cover her expenses, also said that he was having financial difficulties recently.

The mother manages all the money in the house, so what else could it be? Yao Yao simply wants to force her to break up with Zhou Guyang in this way.

Shen Baolin was determined not to let her have her way. This was a silent battle between mother and daughter, and she was unwilling to give in.

Zhou Guyang: "No need, I think this car is fine too."

He found the idea of ​​buying a car on loan pointless. With her salary, what kind of car could she possibly afford on loan? It was obvious.

He also guessed that the Shen family had probably discovered his relationship with Shen Baolin.

The reason for changing cars and cutting off living expenses was to prevent my daughter from being exploited by a man.

Zhou Guyang initially found it hilarious. He had always disdained being a kept man. Although he appeared to be a wage earner, he had actually been secretly starting a business with his brothers.

Under his leadership, the company has developed smoothly.

The Shen family is still as arrogant, despicable, and condescending as ever, looking down on others.

But gradually, he found that he always ran into obstacles when he went out to discuss business with his brothers...

Until a customer enlightened him.

Many people saw that he drove luxury cars and was dressed in designer brands, so they assumed he was a rich second-generation and were willing to cooperate with him because they thought he had a family to back him up.

Upon discovering that he was just a poor boy, those people withdrew their offers and refused to give him any chance at all.

He looked down on the Shen family's methods, but unexpectedly, they actually caused him a lot of trouble.

Just like Shen's father said back then, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Zhou Guyang was seething with anger, but he didn't show it on his face.

He always believed that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Since the Shen family only suppressed him, why didn't he find someone who supported and appreciated him?

After Lu Sijian finished her meal, she lingered outside for a while, but still didn't receive a call from Sheng Yunchao.

As the night grew darker, she couldn't resist making a phone call.

Not far from the Lu family villa, a black car was parked quietly, having been there for two hours.

The driver was somewhat impressed with his young master. How could he resist contacting the other party? Such self-control and forbearance—no wonder the other was the boss while he was just a driver.

Sheng Yunchao looked at the documents for a while, not expecting time to pass so quickly. When he saw the incoming call, he answered it in a second.

"Senior, is something wrong that you're calling me so late?"

Lu Sijian: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Sheng Yunchao slightly covered his eyes with his long fingers, but he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, what would you like to hear, senior?"

If the other person is willing to listen, then they probably have a lot to say.

Lu Sijian: "I'd like to hear how you came up with the idea of ​​persuading the Lian family to issue a clarification statement?"

Sheng Yunchao sighed: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

He was right when he said that it was Sheng Lan who made the contribution.

Sheng Lan has never been one to keep secrets. After returning that day, she gossiped to Uncle Ling, saying that Lian Buman didn't actually like Lou Xiao, and even showed Uncle Ling the video.

Therefore, when the online revelations first came out, Sheng Yunchao gave up on having people suppress the public opinion.

Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble by buying trending topics. He can certainly suppress it, but it is still a potential threat.

He immediately contacted Lian Zheng and urged the Lian Group to come out and clarify the situation.

"Lian Buman probably feels the same way, demanding that this matter be clarified. She doesn't want to have anything to do with Lou Xiao. President Lian still loves his daughter very much, so he agreed to issue a clarification statement without me having to do anything."

Sheng Yunchao didn't think he played a significant role in this, and if even Bu Man disagreed, no matter how much he said, it wouldn't make a difference.

Lu Sijian: "I see. Then I really have to thank Lian Buman."

However, Lian Buman probably didn't welcome her thanks, since the person in question had just personally confirmed that she disliked her.

After a pause, Lu Sijian changed the subject, "But I still want to thank you..."

"You're welcome." Sheng Yunchao looked up and saw a car approaching in the distance. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly said, "If you really want to thank me, roll down the window now."

"What?" Lu Sijian was a little confused. She obeyed the other party's request and opened the car window.

"and then?"

A low, pleasant laugh came from the phone, vibrating in my ears and striking my heart.

Sheng Yunchao's voice is so gorgeous and deep that it is comparable to that of a professional voice actor.
