The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 752 - Chapter 752 Chapter 751 Looks Are Justice

Chapter 752: Chapter 751: Looks Are Justice Chapter 752: Chapter 751: Looks Are Justice “Lu Mian…”

Lu Xingtang smacked his lips twice, waking up in a daze, and asked, “Which Lu Mian?”

“Who else but the one who has long severed ties with the Lu Family, your niece!”

Lu Xingtang slowly came to his senses and straightened up before asking with a frown, “What’s happened to her now?”

When they were discussing Lu Xinnuan just now, he was quite gentle, but now, at the mention of Lu Mian, he became less patient.

Even though they knew that Lu Mian was actually outstanding and that the Lu Family hadn’t been particularly kind to her, when it really came down to it, they still favored Lu Xinnuan.

Especially now that Lu Xinnuan was making a name for herself, and her future as a popular star seemed very promising.

On the other hand, Lu Mian was talented, but how far could she really go with that kind of personality?

The couple was shocked for a moment, completely taken aback by the sight of Lu Mian on the show.

After the surprise wore off, they finally found their focus.

“Lu Mian got recommended for admission?”

“Lu Mian declined the recommendation for admission?”

Pei Jinlan and Lu Xingtang looked at each other in disbelief.

“No, Lu Mian has always been presumptuous. How can she be so clueless about such an important matter? A great opportunity, and she just gives it up like that?”

Pei Jinlan felt it was such a pity; Xinnuan was now reluctantly pursuing the art track just to get into a good university.

Lu Mian had been recommended for admission, but she still squandered the opportunity.

If there was such a fantastic chance, why not give it to her sister?

Lu Xingtang waved his hand dismissively, “Forget it, it doesn’t really concern our family much anyway. Whether she turns out good or bad is her own fate, so don’t you meddle.”

“I don’t want to meddle, I just feel it’s so unfair!”

Xiao Jianli was cheerfully preparing to watch his granddaughter-in-law joining the competition, only to be thrown a curveball right before the event that made his boastful words suddenly backfire in his face.

“Qimo, what’s going on?”

Xiao Qimo was calm; it didn’t matter to him how Lu Mian chose, as long as she was happy.

After all, her choice of school wasn’t because of him.

And whether she was recommended for admission or not wasn’t because of him either.

He would just silently be the man behind her.

“Grandpa, it’s no big deal, don’t be so tense.”

“But at noon, that’s not how you put it,” Xiao Jianli paused, “You didn’t say that at noon!”

Mo Si beside them almost couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

“Then what have you been boasting to your old buddies?” Xiao Qimo knew well the ways of Xiao Jianli.

The old man had probably “casually” stopped by quite a few of his cronies’ homes throughout the day.

“I…” Xiao Jianli got angry when he saw Xiao Qimo being indifferent, “If you don’t care about your wife’s affairs, then just wait for others to do it!”

“I trust her,” Xiao Qimo argued softly.

Xiao Jianli glanced at his useless grandson. Something was not right about the situation. Could there be some insider manipulation during the recommendation process that had bumped his beloved granddaughter-in-law’s spot?

With these thoughts in mind, he became more alert.

Xiao Qimo urged him to sit down and continue watching the show.

As the last challenger to appear, Lu Mian watched as the five contestants before her challenged the ones ranked later, finishing all the PKs.

According to the rules of the show, Lu Mian could no longer choose someone who had already been challenged.

Regrettably, aside from Pei Wenda, none of the other four boys had succeeded in their challenges.

On the public screen, there was another surge of praise for Pei Wenda.

Pei Wenda was already seated in the waiting area, having secured his place.

Lu Mian felt it didn’t matter whom she chose.

As she scanned the twelve contestants, someone suddenly raised a hand.

“Host, can I volunteer myself?”

The host quickly picked up the conversation, “You can nominate yourself, but the final decision rests with Lu Mian.”

Lu Mian felt indifferent, “Then let it be him.”

Host: …

Actually, the host’s earlier remark was meant to help Lu Mian, but this ancestor didn’t seem to understand.

This Lu Mian’s emotional intelligence was just too low, the host felt that if this continued, his reputation would be compromised on this program…

Lu Mian was too lazy to choose, and the volunteer contestant, emphasized by the host, ranked fifth, scored 6 points, and had a win rate of 70%.

This set of data meant that the opponent had already won six games in this program.

One game equals one point, so he had six points.

A win rate of 70% was quite high as well; it was the standard by which a contestant’s stability was judged.

And so, Lu Mian stepped up, choosing an opponent even tougher than Pei Wenda.

Pei Wenda shook his head in the waiting area.

That’s just too impulsive.

Not everyone can replicate his success; every step he takes now is planned.

To challenge a contestant of such a high level right off the bat was seriously underestimating their strength.

Not only was Pei Wenda surprised, but many viewers and netizens were also astonished.

Every time, Lu Mian’s performance exceeded their expectations.

But, looking at her offhand cockiness, they really couldn’t hate her.

Good looks are the ultimate justice.

Lu Mian coolly went up against the fifth-ranked contestant in a PK.

From picking the subject to solving problems and then to the final results, it only took Lu Mian a few minutes.

She deftly won against her opponent.

The fifth-ranked contestant stared dumbfounded at the questions, then back at Lu Mian.

This wasn’t the script he had in mind…

Neither was it what the host had imagined because according to the contract, the fifth-ranked contestant still had several rounds to go, which means he knew he wouldn’t be eliminated at this point, which is why he stood up and initiated a PK.

He’d get a lot of camera time, and it would be against a beautiful girl.

Lu Mian gave a slight smile as a polite gesture.

The fifth-ranked contestant looked dejected: he just wanted more camera time, not expecting to completely lose his chance at it.

This girl was not to be underestimated!

And as for Lu Mian, directly challenging a top-six contestant and performing even better than Pei Wenda, she might just become the biggest winner of the night.

As everyone eagerly anticipated the next episode, the public screen was filled with the words “Lu Mian rocks”.

Pei Wenda, who had meticulously created talking points and generated buzz, seemed to have had his moment and was no longer the topic of discussion.

After participating in the competition, Lu Mian didn’t return backstage.

While on the way, she took out her phone and started searching for “Doctor Hua” on Baidu.

She wanted to find more information.

However, the information on Baidu was very normal and mundane, of little use.

She pondered to herself that she should find time to visit the Lu Family soon.

The next day.

In the dean’s office of Qing University’s Physics Department.

Kang Hongbin was in a great mood, tidying up his desk when someone rushed over, eager to chat with him.

“Dean Kang, why did you turn away such a promising talent!”

Kang Hongbin raised an eyebrow, “Turn away whom?”

“Didn’t you reject Lu Mian from applying to your department? She even gave up her recommended admission. This news is so hot, don’t you know?” the other person said weirdly.

After he finished speaking, Kang Hongbin’s face swiftly darkened.
