"Lu Yi, you're so annoying! Don't joke like that. Xiao Ya and I are best friends, but you're not. Why are you backing out!"

After she finished speaking, even she herself was amused!

Since you know that Lu Yi only has eyes for you, why do you have to compete with Lin Xiaoya for his affections? Isn't that just self-destructive?

Lin Xiaoya generously raised her glass to apologize to Liang Shiyue.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyue, I couldn't resist hitting you just now!"

Liang Shiyue tapped her hand, "Don't let this happen again!"

Lu Yi watched the two playfully bickering in silence for a long time before speaking.

"Love, friendship, and family are all the same; they can be lost in an instant, and it may take a lifetime to get them back..."

"Can you accept each other saying that you're no longer best friends or sisters?"

Tears welled up in Lin Xiaoya's eyes as she slowly put down her chopsticks.

Her aunt, her mother's twin sister, Lin Yuan, the matriarch of the Lin family...

Whenever he gets drunk, he'll grab her by the neck and yell viciously, "You're no longer my sister!"

She had never understood that kind of pain before.

But now, putting herself in Liang Shiyue's shoes, she suddenly understands.

The person my aunt hated is no longer here.

She wants an answer but can't get one. She must be in a lot of pain!

Because she looks so much like her mother, every time she appears in front of her aunt, it feels like she's being stabbed repeatedly with a knife. Although there's no blood, it causes her excruciating pain!

"Xiaoya, don't cry. I... I'm not blaming you, really. I know you need time..."

Liang Shiyue held Lin Xiaoya in her arms, unsure how to comfort her.

Her expressive eyes blinked, pleading for help from Lu Yi.

Lu Yi didn't understand Lin Xiaoya's suffering, and didn't know what to say.

Suddenly remembering a detail I had overlooked, I couldn't help but click my tongue.

Lin Xiaoya wiped away her tears, "Xiaoyue, I'm fine, I was just thinking about my mother..."

She suppressed the flutter in her heart and quickly composed herself.

"Lu Yi, what are you thinking? Should we call the police?"

Liang Shiyue also noticed that Lu Yi's expression was strange, and asked worriedly, "What do you need us to do?"

Lu Yi hesitated and asked, "Do you know Lu Xiaoman?"

Lin Xiaoya did not react.

Liang Shiyue said, "Never heard of him. Do you need to see him?"

"It wasn't me looking for him, it was those thugs. As soon as they came in, they started yelling and demanding that I hand over Lu Xiaoman. I said I didn't know her, but they wouldn't let it go..."

Lu Yi suspected that Lu Han was involved in this matter.

But what he couldn't understand was what kind of nonsensical excuse "Lu Xiaoman" was!

They even asked him to hand over the person he'd never met before. Were they supposed to make one up on the spot?

He doesn't have that special skill!

However, what happened next was even more outrageous.

When Lu Yi left the Liang family, it was already late. He walked to the roadside and hailed a car.

As soon as I sat in the passenger seat, the driver suddenly gave a sinister smile.

The next second, a sharp dagger was at Lu Yi's waist.

"Lu Yi, right? I've been waiting for you for ages! If you don't want to die, hand over your phone and fasten your seatbelt!"
