"But you seem to be enjoying it to me."

Seeing Yun Lian's lazy and casual demeanor, and the fact that there were other people around her, Li Qi felt a strange sense of unease.

"If you were here, the fun would be doubled. Sister Lian, you haven't played with us in so long, come down quickly."

"Alright, just don't come crying and begging for mercy later."

Yun Lian got up from the chair, revealing a black swimsuit under her bathrobe. The cutout design at her waist made her skin appear even whiter and her waist even more slender.

"Li Juan, aren't you going down to play? It seems that Lu Ze, the young master of the Lu family, is down there too."

"Sister Lian, you can go down first. I'll come back in a bit."

"OK."

When Fang Hui saw Yun Lian come down, she immediately went up to her and touched her.

"Sister Lian, with such a great figure, why have you been hiding it all this time? This is the first time I've seen you in a swimsuit. Come here and give me a hug."

Yun Lian raised the water gun and sprayed water on Fang Hui's arm.

"If you get any closer to me, your little puppy might get jealous."

The Fang family ranks last among the four major families in City A, and Fang Hui's boyfriends are practically disposable.

No matter how Fang Hui tried to push Yun Lian away, she wouldn't budge and stubbornly clung to her.

"There are cute little puppies every day, but Sister Lian can't stick to them all the time. I'm sticking to you. No way, how can we be the only ones getting wet? Come here."

Fang Hui punched the water hard, splashing water onto Yun Lian's face. Yun Lian chased after her, but Fang Hui swam away as fast as a mermaid.

With Yun Lian joining in, the entire pool instantly descended into chaos, turning what was previously a battle between men and women into a free-for-all.

Yun Lian stirred up the atmosphere and then quietly made an excuse to go to the restroom.

"Host, as you said, Li Juan added something to the drink."

Yun Lian changed out of her swimsuit.

"Keep an eye on her, and we'll talk to her after she and Young Master Lu go back to their room."

"Good host."

Yun Lian dried her hair and changed her clothes before the system finally started making a ruckus.

"Host, Lu Ze drank the water that Li Juan spiked. How do you know Li Juan would definitely do that?"

She remembered this play when Li Juan was caught secretly filming Xie Zhaodi and posting the photos online.

In the original storyline, Xie Zhaodi was slandered. When Lu Ze picked up Lu Ting, he said a few nice things about Xie Zhaodi, and she fell in love with Lu Ze.

By chance, the two met. Lu Ze felt sorry for her difficult life. Faced with his affection, Xie Zhaodi, who was naturally insecure, could only run away.

Lu Ze was depressed and unhappy.

Li Juan was unhappy that Xie Zhaodi had gotten involved with the Lu family.

When she met Lu Ze at a bar party, she drugged him and they slept together.

From then on, Li Juan became even more hostile towards Xie Zhaodi.

And she's the kind of person who can't stand seeing others do better than her.

Once I see an outstanding man, I'll give him a try, regardless of whether he's successful or not.

"Just based on her malice towards Xie Zhaodi."

"It's about time. Let's collect some interest from Xie Zhaodi first."

"Yay!"

When Yun Lian returned, most people had already come out of the pool and put on bathrobes.

They gathered in twos and threes, chatting and drinking, enjoying themselves immensely.

Upon seeing Yun Lian's figure, almost everyone's eyes lit up.

Yun Lian changed into a raccoon-themed pajama set and casually tied her hair into a bun.

She's as sweet, gentle, and harmless as the girl next door.

But her usual arrogant and domineering image is quite different from that of a shortcut.

"Sister Lian, we've known you for so long, how come we never knew you had such a cute side?"

"If you all knew, what mystery would I have left? By the way, didn't you see Li Juan?"

At that moment, Fang Hui suddenly ran downstairs with her face flushed red.

"Sister Lian, um, maybe I know where Li Juan is, it's..."

Fang Hui's stammering only aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Fang Hui, why are you acting like you've seen a ghost? What can't you tell us?"

Fang Hui stomped her foot and covered her face.

"Oh, you'll see for yourselves. It's on the second floor, the last room."

Yun Lian was the first to stand up: "Let's go take a look."

The group was large and imposing, their eyes gleaming with undisguised gossip.

Just as they reached the depths of the second-floor corridor, they heard a furious roar.

"roll!"

With that sound, Li Juan was thrown out.

Lu Ze's voice came through intermittently, tinged with a hint of impatience.

"Lu Ze, you were playing so well just now, but you turn your back on us so quickly. If the Lu family knew you'd turn your back on them after you've done your bidding, would you still be able to inherit the Lu family smoothly?"

Lu Ze's face turned bright red.

"Li Juan, don't disgust me. Nothing happened between us. Do you think anyone would believe me if I deliberately set you up?"

Li Juan deliberately made her clothes even more disheveled, and smiled slyly.

"You think anyone will believe you? Lu Ze, you treated me like this at the young lady's house. Given my relationship with her, who do you think she would believe?"

Even with his good upbringing, Lu Ze could only utter the most vicious words he could think of: "Get out."

Yun Lian crossed her arms, took a few steps forward, and stood behind Li Juan, looking down at her from above.

"Li Juan, how come I have no idea that we have any relationship?"

"The relationship you're talking about, is it you shamelessly sticking your neck out by my side, asking me to give the Li family a chance to cooperate?"

"Or are you abusing my name to commit evil deeds?"

Li Juan stiffly looked up, and almost instantly broke out in a sweat.

"Sister Lian..."

Yun Lian, however, had no interest in even glancing at her.

"Li Juan, the Yun family does not welcome you."

Li Juan practically scrambled to grab Yun Lian's leg.

Li Qi stood in front of Yun Lian and kicked away Li Juan's hand.

"Didn't you hear Yun Lian say you weren't welcome? Who gave you the audacity to hug her?"

Li Qi has always been good-tempered, and Li Juan has never seen him with a dark face.

Seeing the disgust on his face at that moment felt like falling into an ice cave.

When Li Qi saw Yun Lian enter the room, worried that she might see something she shouldn't, she quickly followed behind Yun Lian and turned on the light.

Lu Ze was drugged, his face was flushed, and his clothes were torn open by Li Juan, exposing his chest.

Yun Lian picked up the bathrobe and covered Lu Ze with it.

"Can you still walk? Should I take you to the hospital or wait for my doctor?"

Finally, reinforcements arrived, and Lu Ze's tense mood immediately relaxed.

"I'm not going to the hospital, but could you please call a doctor, Miss Yun?"

Li Qi helped Lu Ze up.

"Why don't you soak it in cold water first?"

Even through his clothes, he could feel Lu Ze's burning hot body.

Yun Lian called out to the outside, and immediately a group of people rushed in with a commotion.

"Help me ask Li Juan to leave the Yun family. The Yun family does not welcome people with impure intentions."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see Li Juan's disheveled clothes and Lu Ze's abnormally flushed face and instantly understand what was going on.

A few close friends helped Lu Ze take a cold shower, while the others hurriedly dragged Li Juan out.

It wasn't until the doctor arrived and determined that Lu Ze had been given a potent aphrodisiac and treated him that the crowd slowly dispersed.

Looking at the imposing and towering gate of the Yun family, Li Juan experienced despair for the first time.

What she didn't expect was that even more despair was yet to come.

Yun Lian looked at Lu Ze's face, which was almost as blank as a sheet of paper, and showed her apology.

"Young Master Lu, the Yun family will definitely give you an explanation for what happened tonight."
