The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 955 - 954 Ya Qiao is Showing Off Their Love!

Chapter 955: Chapter 954 Ya Qiao is Showing Off Their Love!

Xiao Qimo lowered his head to look at the pile of things in his arms. The jealousy he felt moments ago instantly turned into romance, and his heart was floating with bubbles.

It was truly a mix of surprise and delight.

He glanced at the group of friends and family around him. Except for Ya Ling, the rest still hadn’t recovered from the shock.

Mo Si’s knees almost buckled. Thinking back to how he had doubted the relationship between Ya Qiao and Miss Lu earlier, he just wanted to drop to his knees and admit his mistake.

"Miss Lu, I was ignorant. I shouldn’t have told Ya Qiao to scram before..."

Mo Fan’s face was frozen in disbelief, while Mo Nie stared stunned at Lu Mian and slapped himself hard across the face.

He really must’ve gone crazy. What was he even bargaining for? This was clearly a public display of affection!

5201314. Of course, it couldn’t be more or less than exactly that number.

Yun Sang raised an eyebrow mischievously, secretly calculating in his mind. So, back at the auction, with Lu Mian’s net worth, he could’ve easily entered the Diamond Membership Area, couldn’t he? Now he understood. So, this was the sole premium member all along.

Yun Sang’s gaze landed on Ye Jinwen, who was staring blankly at Ya Ling. "Zero, you knew all along?"

Ya Ling nodded. "Mian knows his way around the stock market like a prodigy. I used to help him handle these things.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Forbes list, he’s probably ranked first by now."

The group fell completely silent.

Everyone used to think that the richest person in Z country was the Xiao Family. But after recalculating... Mo Si: "...I once had the chance to get rich off stocks, but I didn’t seize it. Ahhhhh..." Mo Nie: "So, has Miss Lu’s fortune long surpassed Master Mo’s? Is Master Mo planning to live off her now?" As the only elder in the family, Xiao Jianli had only one thought on his mind: he was now convinced his grandson didn’t deserve Lu Mian.

It wasn’t just Xiao Jianli feeling inferior; Xiao Qimo was too.

He knew Lu Mian was accomplished but had no idea he was on this level.

In the past, he could afford to ignore his career because Weilan was holding things together. Even without relying on the Xiao Family, he still had the means to marry Lu Mian.

But now, just thinking about the top two names on the list, at the age of 23, for the first time in his life, he felt a strong, crushing sense of inadequacy.

"Economic foundation determines the superstructure." Xiao Qimo felt like the script of his life might be out of his reach forever.

He cast a deep, meaningful glance at Mo Nie and issued a heavy, serious command: "Take care of the property transfer documents Madam handed over. I’ll send you a business plan within two days."

Mo Nie jolted at the words, not even catching the fact that he used "Madam." All he noticed was the serious, commanding aura that had once defined Master Mo returning once again.

Ahhhhh! Master Mo was finally taking his career seriously? Another wish fulfilled! Mo Nie quickly agreed and added, seizing the moment, "Master Mo, there are still twelve company documents waiting for your final review."

Xiao Qimo nodded. "Send them all to my email."

As he spoke, he took out his phone. No one knew who he was texting, but he typed out an entire line before sending it off with a quick tap.

Lu Mian carefully adjusted Xiao Qimo’s collar. "Director Qi, this time, I came clean by choice."

Xiao Qimo was on the verge of tears. If he had known this earlier, he’d have made time to focus on his career. Now that even the founder of Weilan was ranked second, he didn’t dare speak of his stature anymore.

"I’ll tell him when I surpass number one."

Xiao Jianli, seeing his grandson so focused on his career, clapped him on the back. "What work are you arranging now? Focus on the main task! Can’t you figure out the priority?"

Xiao Qimo hesitated, still lost in his feelings of inadequacy.

Xiao Jianli gave a direct hint: "Get married! Secure your future with the legal weapon in your hand!" Everyone else: ...No one ever thought the term "legal weapon" would be used like this.

Yun Sang smirked mischievously at the side. "Xiao Qimo, my sister’s worth is very different now..." But before he could finish, Little Sansan upstairs seemed to catch a keyword and, wobbling awkwardly, tumbled down the stairs.

As he slid, he played music and handed over a thick stack of documents Lu Mian had prepared in advance. "Master, your documents."

Everyone: ... It was then they finally realized something was definitely off.

Ye Jinwen pointed at the piano piece Little Sansan was playing and curiously asked, "Seventh Brother, which master did you hire to play this? It’s pretty good. Can I use it for my wedding?"

Little Sansan twirled proudly. "Master composed this personally!" Everyone knew the "Master" he referred to was Lu Mian.

Ye Jinwen, caught completely off guard, gaped at Xiao Qimo. "Seventh Brother, don’t tell me all the atmosphere, the music... wasn’t arranged by you?"

It suddenly dawned on him that he must’ve misunderstood something. Big time.

Xiao Qimo calmly adjusted his glasses. Even while feeling utterly humbled inside, he maintained a lofty, nonchalant exterior. "Yes, all done by my wife."

She linked her arm with Lu Mian’s, his handsome face graced with a smile that held a trace of pride and a hint of showing off.

Ye Jinwen felt a wave of shock inside. No way! So, after all this uproar, it was Little Mianmian who planned everything? Which meant... this proposal was supposed to be Lu Mian’s show? Finally, the group snapped out of the subtle oddity of the situation. Recalling everything that happened, it all made sense now.

The young men present all sighed quietly: Honestly, they were a little envious.

Ye Jinwen snuck a glance at Ya Ling, secretly wishing that someday Zero could also propose to him first.

Ya Ling curled her red lips into a slight smirk and saw through him instantly. "Don’t even think about it. Not happening."

Ye Jinwen glared at Xiao Qimo: He really shouldn’t have come today. Seventh Brother had set a terrible example.

The Mo brothers—Mo Si, Mo Fan, and Mo Nie—collectively broke into a cold sweat for Master Mo: Living on your wife’s resources keeps getting sweeter, the script gets further and further out of reach, and does Master Mo even have a chance to rise again? The mix-up with today’s proposal ended in a grand reveal that left everyone stunned. Xiao Jianli originally thought his grandson had shown some real progress, which made him quite satisfied.

But upon learning all the arrangements came from Lu Mian, his expression immediately soured.

No more recording. He didn’t plan to stay either. Turning around, he stomped off to the exit.

Xiao Qimo quickly stopped him. "You’re leaving already?"

His birthday hadn’t even passed yet.

Xiao Jianli shook off his grandson’s hand. "Not happy. Going home."

"What’s wrong?"

"You tell me what’s wrong?"

Xiao Qimo thought his grandfather was being downright unreasonable. "Fine, just tell me—what will make you happy?"

"Unless you slap a marriage certificate in front of me."
