The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 898 - 897: Who Holds the Power of Speech in the Family?

Chapter 898: Chapter 897: Who Holds the Power of Speech in the Family?

Sun Wei didn’t dare to say things like "I did it all for you" or "I won’t harm you" anymore. He almost made La Ge miss the best development opportunity, and in the end, he took his salary and left in disgrace.

La Ge, feeling excited, called his sister.

"Wenwen, you said every time we meet Lu Mian, something good happens. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do."

La Wenwen hadn’t gone to sleep yet. She was lying on the dormitory bed at the chess academy playing on her phone. She knew today was the day her brother attended the music festival and was waiting for him deliberately.

"Bro, how was it? Did you meet a lot of big shots at the music festival? Did they appreciate your talent?"

La Ge chuckled softly, "I didn’t really need their appreciation."

"What? What’s going on?"

La Wenwen got worried, and Su Luo looked over as well.

The two of them shared a dorm room.

"Because..." La Ge took a deep breath, "I had already met the most powerful big shot in the circle."

La Wenwen wasn’t naive. When she heard her brother say this, "You mean... Lu Mian, she..."

"Go check Weibo; Miss Lu is Mi Lu."

La Ge hung up the phone, and La Wenwen eagerly opened Weibo. After reading everything about the music festival topic, she dumbfoundedly shared with Su Luo, "Luoluo, what kind of big shot do you actually know..."

Su Luo was shocked and quickly put away her phone, trying to remain calm, "Small matters, no panic."

But inside, she was really panicking!

She knew Lu Mian was awesome but didn’t know she was this awesome!

Hacker programming, stock market mogul, charity work, being a Guardian God, popular voice actress, on top of being a straight-A student in academics, plus playing Go and composing music...

Su Luo shivered violently.

Thinking back to when they were at Kunpeng High School, a bunch of them who didn’t know better mocked and ridiculed Lu Mian, she believed they were all idiots.

Could it be that grandpa knew about Lu Mian’s identities all along, which is why he took special care of her?

When grandpa comes to Jinjing, she must ask him carefully!

"Luoluo! Luoluo! Do you think with our academy hosting the man-machine tournament, can Lu Mian handle it?" La Wenwen was a bit worried, thinking nervously on Lu Mian’s behalf, "Lu Mian is so awesome in music, but in Go..."

For normal people, becoming a master in one field is already impressive.

Who could be so all-around?

Su Luo waved her hand dismissively, "Anyway, with Master Jing’s character, he wouldn’t allow the Zhuge Family to bully Lu Mian."

"That’s true. Master Jing is morally upright, respected by everyone. Ah, it’s just that he retired from the Go community a long time ago. Otherwise, I really want to be his disciple..."

After saying that, La Wenwen quickly added, "Hahaha, Luoluo, don’t make fun of me, okay? I’m setting a small goal for myself. I know you also want to be Master Jing’s disciple, right?"

Su Luo sighed dejectedly and hid under the summer quilt.

"I really do want to! But they don’t want me..."

——

Last night’s fight left Lu Mian feeling completely refreshed and invigorated.

While having breakfast, her expression and aura were gentle and soothing, making Mo Si suspect that the one who really needed to vent last night was Miss Lu.

"Miss Lu, is Mr. Mo... alright?" Mo Si took the opportunity while Xiao Qimo was not around to quietly inquire about the gossip.

The main point is that these two big shots kept fighting until they ended up in the room.

He and Mo Fan didn’t see the outcome, feeling restless all night.

Mo Fan, holding a piece of toast in his mouth, expressionless yet gossip-filled, asked, "Miss Lu, is it you who won?"

As he spoke, Xiao Qimo happened to be walking down the stairs, stretching his neck and shoulders.

Mo Fan and Mo Si immediately shut their mouths.

Lu Mian pushed the lean meat porridge on the table, "Mo Baby, eat breakfast."

Xiao Qimo acknowledged with a soft "mm" as the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted.

His long legs moved fast, taking only a few strides to reach Lu Mian, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead before sitting down.

Mo Si: ... Eating lemons first thing in the morning isn’t good for the stomach!

Mo Fan: ... So, who won in the end? Who has the upper hand?

"Miss Lu?" Mo Fan genuinely inquired.

Lu Mian handed a sandwich she had made with her own hands to the man beside her, smiling, "Last night, Director Qi said he was no longer angry, so we stopped."

"There was no decisive winner?"

"Since the problem is resolved, is there a need to determine a winner or loser?" Lu Mian took a bite of her burger, "Director Qi is really impressive."

This last remark somewhat restored Xiao Qimo’s male dignity.

It was also a nod to Xiao Qimo’s capabilities.

Mo Fan gave his master a thumbs-up, very admiringly.

Indeed, others who sparred with Miss Lu didn’t last more than ten minutes before losing. Last night, Mr. Mo at least sparred with Miss Lu for half an hour!

Just from this fact, he knew that Mr. Mo and Miss Lu were evenly matched.

But still, he wanted to know in a real fight, who would be stronger between them...

However, Mo Si’s thoughts weren’t as simple as Mo Fan’s.

He wondered what exactly Miss Lu meant by "impressive"—in which aspect?

Is it that aspect... or another aspect?

In fact, last night, Xiao Qimo didn’t achieve what he wanted, but fortunately, Lu Mian said she would not enter the entertainment industry in the future, nor would she promote herself, which gave him some relief.

He slept soundly, hugging his wife.

As a man, one mustn’t rush things; tearing off clothes is too rough, too unsophisticated.

He preferred to approach it one step at a time, steadily and securely!

Just after finishing breakfast, Lu Mian received a message from Fu Man.

Fu Man had changed her phone number, as the previous one had already been blocked by Lu Mian.

Although the unfamiliar number had no note, Lu Mian still detected a hint of disgust in the message.

"Mianmian, your sister has reserved a table for you at MM Ji Restaurant. Can you both sit down and have a good talk? After all, she’s your biological sister, from the same mother, and there’s no hurdle that can’t be overcome, right?"

Mrs. Fu Man loved using moral pressure the most.

After reading the message, Lu Mian sneered coldly and put away her phone without replying.

——

With the help of Fu Yu, Lu Xinnuan managed to book a table at MM Ji Restaurant, subtly showing off to the sisterhood she debuted with and inviting them all for a meal and mentioning that her sister would attend too.

This made the girls rush to sign up, even Li Aiqi felt a bit envious.

The Li Family is one of the three Supreme Clans, yet they couldn’t secure a table at MM Ji. It was said that Lu Xinnuan’s uncle had good relations with the restaurant owner, having already visited during the trial service.

Internally, she indeed felt envious, and coupled with Mi Lu’s presence, she temporarily put aside her pride to follow Lu Xinnuan.

Lu Xinnuan felt very satisfied with this.

She had already invited her mother and uncle.

With two elders present and so many outsiders, she didn’t believe Lu Mian would be that arrogant.

If Lu Mian behaved well, she could consider letting her back into the family.
