The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: He’s Coming

Su Luo was full of confidence and assurance.

When she made that statement, nobody around felt it was out of place, and Bai Fangfei, proudly linking arms with her, also seemed to strut triumphantly.

Their gazes both landed on Lu Mian, who simply couldn’t ignore them even if she wanted to.

Reluctantly tearing her gaze from the climax of her novel, she glanced at Su Luo amidst her busy reading, her pupils flickering slightly with uncertainty.

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Fangfei taunted, “Scared, huh? If you don’t want to be embarrassed, you’d better give up your seat to Luoluo now. Don’t wait until you’re humiliated and lose your place, too.”

Su Luo also stood silently, looking forward to Lu Mian’s response.

The Shouhao brothers were feeling somewhat downcast.

Lu Mian looked at Su Luo for a while, then, with a snap, closed her novel, and asked her blankly, “You, who are you?”

She hadn’t really heard a word Su Luo had said.

???

Shouhao erupted into laughter, clutching their bellies, unable to straighten up.

Lu Mian had quite the nerve to retort like that!

There were Su Luo and Bai Fangfei trumpeting their own praises, and yet Lu Mian had no idea who Su Luo was. Surely she couldn’t have failed to look up at her opponent even once?

Just look at Lu Mian’s style, look at Lu Mian’s momentum.

Not showing off, nor admitting defeat.

“Lu Mian, she’s Su Luo, the one who fought with you over the seat before! Take pity on the child and at least glance at her!” laughed Shouhao, still holding his belly.

Lu Mian nodded.

So she was Old Su’s granddaughter.

The two grandsons from the Su family were pretty interesting; unexpectedly, she felt as if she had the company of grandchildren…

Her nonchalance and air of superiority incensed Bai Fangfei, “Lu Mian, you’re too arrogant! Do you even know who Luoluo is? How dare you belittle her like this? Apologize to Luoluo right away!”

“No need.” Although she had lost face, Su Luo only felt embarrassed for a moment and didn’t harbor much emotion.

She had seen plenty of the haughty and the arrogant.

Those who ended up crying after a defeat were often from this lot.

“Lu Mian, let’s see the real deal in the competition!” she emphasized, as a reminder.

“Fine.”

After the two had walked away, Shouhao and Shouhao muttered quietly to each other.

“Lu Mian, this Su Luo may have bad intentions, but she seems to be a little better than Lu Xinnuan…” Shouhao stroked his chin, analyzing.

Shouhao nodded, “At least, not so hypocritically innocent.”

Lu Mian chuckled and stretched lazily in her seat.

Su Luo, at first glance, seemed like the type with great pride and a young achiever’s arrogance. With her character and status, she naturally didn’t need to resort to any schemes or hide her true feelings. If she liked something, she simply did, and if she disliked it, she made it clear—indeed much more generous than Lu Xinnuan and far better than her fame-seeking brother.

She casually tapped her pale fingertips on the desk a few times, becoming attached to the spot and too lazy to move.

Well, then, might as well humor her a little.

At noon after school, Lu Mian went home to Jin Cheng No. 1 as usual.

Her lunch was already timely set on the table. She had just lifted half the lid of the thermal container when the doorbell rang.

She paused, closed the container bearing the MM Ji Restaurant logo, put it back into the cupboard, and then got up to open the door.

As expected, there stood a cultured man at the door.

He was dressed unusually for the day, eschewing his usual suit-and-tie for casual home clothes and an apron, standing before Lu Mian with a tray in hand.

The tray bore several dishes.

Ye Jinwen emerged from behind him, also holding a few side dishes.

Lu Mian leaned against the doorway, tilting her chin up and silently asking what this was about.

Xiao Qimo smiled at her easily, “I left my chopsticks at your place last time, do you mind if I come over and eat?”
