Chapter 910: Chapter 909 Resolving the Three Masters of Jinjing

The crisp and elegant aroma filled the air as Xiao Qimo strode back in.

The man instinctively sat down beside Lu Mian.

Halfway through his words, Xiao Jianli had no choice but to swallow the rest of his sentence.

Lu Mian casually poured Xiao Qimo a cup of tea and smiled, "Handled everything?"

"Yes." Xiao Qimo lightly caressed the teacup with his fingertips, his voice filled with a pitiful tone: "Mianmian, they look down on me."

With this aggrieved look, where was the decisive and commanding Master Qimo?

Lu Mian squinted her eyes, put down the teapot, and stood up, "They bullied you?"

Her expression turned icy, exuding the aura of a big sister ready to roll up her sleeves for revenge after her little brother was bullied.

Kunyang glanced skeptically at Xiao Jianli, the weariness in his eyes filled with immense doubt: This script... doesn’t seem right, does it?

Xiao Jianli spread his hands, equally perplexed.

"They looked down on me and even mocked me."

Xiao Qimo nodded without hesitation, blocking Lu Mian as she moved toward the door, then added, "But it’s fine. I’ve already had my men take care of them. They’ve been sent abroad, and they won’t be returning. Mianmian, you won’t blame me, will you?"

Kunyang kept staring at Xiao Jianli: Old Xiao, your grandson’s tone is a bit... over the top, isn’t it?

Xiao Jianli took a sharp breath in. Indeed, when did his grandson start speaking in such overly dramatic ways?

Mianmian is so clever—this little brat is just asking for trouble!

The old man sat quietly, his expression growing increasingly disdainful.

But then—

Lu Mian merely let out a simple "Oh" and sat back down, "I don’t blame you, as long as you haven’t suffered for it."

Her expression didn’t change much, nor did she inquire further about the Lu Family trio, remaining cold and composed.

Xiao Qimo smiled gently and gracefully, "Mianmian, you’re so good to me."

Kunyang: ... True love blinds.

Xiao Jianli: ... Apparently, the heavens are fair after all, gifting Mianmian with extraordinary intelligence but withholding emotional wisdom. Some things, she really doesn’t quite grasp!

Xiao Jianli chose to remain silent, lifting the teapot on the table and politely pouring Kunyang a cup, "Old Kun, this is Qimo’s brewed tea. Take a closer taste—doesn’t my grandson have decent tea-making skills?"

Kunyang earnestly began to savor the tea.

Lu Mian didn’t quite understand the interaction between these two older men. In any case, she knew that Xiao Qimo hadn’t suffered any loss or humiliation—that was enough. On top of that, he had even dealt with the Lu Family trio so they wouldn’t disturb her anymore. That’s a win.

Soon, Yuren began serving dishes in their private room.

With just a glance, Lu Mian noticed many of her favorite dishes.

Xiao Jianli explained, "Qimo said you went to meet the Lu Family, and since you couldn’t stomach their humiliating meals, he had these prepared here."

One avoided her relatives when choosing dishes; the other was always looking out for her as a lover.

The contrast was far too stark.

The ice-covered heart of Lu Mian, long frozen solid, had already thawed considerably.

At this moment, her softened heart was calm, flowing with warm blood, rhythmically beating, cozy and steady.

Lu Mian was indeed hungry—she had barely eaten earlier before Lu Xinnuan had knocked everything onto the ground.

Now, next to her was the lover she cherished, and nearby, two elders who cared for her. Her appetite naturally improved.

At the dining table—

Xiao Jianli suddenly remembered something and began chatting with Kunyang beside him, "Old Kun, do you recall what people outside used to say about us?"

"You mean what they call the ’Three Masters of Jinjing’?" Kunyang chuckled, "They always said we were unattainable and far beyond reach!"

Xiao Jianli nodded in agreement.

Kunyang had thought Xiao Jianli was about to reflect on how arduous their journey had been to achieve this masterful status. Unexpectedly, the "grandson-bragging madman" Xiao Jianli suddenly shifted his tone, saying, "Exactly. And look at our Mianmian—she managed to deal with two of them in one go! Impressive, isn’t she?"

Kunyang: ...

"I heard Old Jing is back too. Do you know what he’s been up to? He hasn’t reached out to any of us old friends lately. Has he connected with you?"

Kunyang shook his head, "Nope. I’ve been busy with the music festival lately and haven’t had the time. Isn’t Old Jing always off looking for people to play Go with him? Why did he suddenly return? Jinjing has truly been bustling lately—so many people are coming back."

"Indeed." Xiao Jianli, having honed his senses from years in the business world, offered his advice, "Something’s brewing in Jinjing. Qimo, you need to stay on high alert these days."

Xiao Qimo nodded in agreement, "Already passed down the orders."

"Getting back to what we were discussing." Xiao Jianli murmured to himself, returning to his cheery demeanor, "So, tell me—if Mianmian manages to win over Old Jing, wouldn’t that really shake things up?"

Kunyang paused, clicked his tongue, and shook his head, "Old Jing isn’t so easy to deal with!"
