The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 307 - 306 Mine, This is Also Mine

Chapter 307: Chapter 306 Mine, This is Also Mine

Fat Hao and Shouhao hollered as they rushed over to congratulate Lu Mian, also showing her the photos they took with their camera.

Lu Mian waved at Director Qimo, patiently looking through the photos they had snapped.

“You really have too much free time.”

“Looks good!” Fat Hao was not stingy with his praise.

Opposite them, Sheng Zijin’s eyes dimmed as she watched the lively scene, snapped a photo with her phone, and left.

Back at the hotel, she sent the photo to Lu Xinnuan.

...

[What’s the relationship between those two guys and Lu Mian?]

[Just one is the son of the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the other’s family does business, has some money.]

[Not Lu Mian’s boyfriend?]

[Shouldn’t be. Those two are just sycophants.]

Looking at these useless messages, Sheng Zijin massaged her throbbing temples, utterly exhausted. Just thinking about visiting Lei Shuqi at the hospital made her feel even more drained.

At the hospital, Lu Mian came on time to bring food again.

No sooner had she delivered the meal to Lei Shuqi than Ye Jinwen arrived. He couldn’t leave such a time bomb unattended.

He gestured to the nurses behind him, and they immediately entered the ward.

Lei Shuqi was eating when he saw so many people, and he shuddered slightly.

“Mr. Lei, we hear your injuries have yet to heal, so we are specially assigned to take care of you.”

“Ah… no need, I’ve got someone to take care of me already.”

The nurses didn’t listen, went over, massaging and feeding, and took care of Lei Shuqi so well that he almost wanted to escape.

Ye Jinwen leaned against the doorframe, “Mr. Lei, is your wound feeling better?”

“Ye, Ye Mr….”

“If not, I’ll continue to send people over.”

“I’m fine, I’m fine, I’ll get discharged right away.”

Ye Jinwen commanded, “For the sake of your life, steer clear of Lu Mian from now on!”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Lei Shuqi nodded frantically.

As Ye Jinwen prepared to leave, he ran into Sheng Zijin.

Sheng Zijin didn’t recognize him and passed by without expression.

When she arrived at Lei Shuqi’s ward, she was shocked.

“You’re saying that the person just now was Ye Mr.?”

“Ah.”

“He came to stand up for Lu Mian?”

“He didn’t say that, just that I was wasting medical resources and that I should hurry and get discharged…”

Sheng Zijin bit her lip, uncertain.

Could it be that Ye Mr. was the person behind Lu Mian?

If it was Ye Mr., then that would be troublesome.

No, she needed to investigate this matter further.

However, the more Lei Shuqi thought about it, the more dissatisfied he felt. He said to Sheng Zijin, “Zijin, when you go back to school tomorrow, take me with you. I can be your assistant!”

“What for?”

“To cheer you on!”

Sheng Zijin saw the ulterior motive on his face; she couldn’t possibly believe these words. Yet her own heart was upset. Her friend who came with her to Wucheng was now tailing Lu Mian, and none of it felt right.

Previously, she had no conflicts of interest with Lu Mian, but now Lu Mian had won their two school badges in one breath, even taking her own school’s badge back, garnering all the attention.

She had to lead her team to victory and bring back a championship at all costs.

When Sheng Zijin received a call from Bai Fangfei, Bai Fangfei was already crying.

But all she could do was calmly tell her that Cang Xue was unwilling to give out contact details, and that she was powerless to help.

Bai Fangfei was deeply hurt, so didn’t that mean the Bai Family’s last bit of hope was gone too?

She had thought Sheng Zijin could be the solution.

Where did things go wrong? Why had the Bai Family fallen into such a state?

Don’t tell her Lu Mian is Cang Xue, she wouldn’t believe it, she couldn’t!

Because if it were indeed confirmed that Lu Mian was Cang Xue, then all the things she had said to Lu Mian and Ya Qing’s reactions would all make sense.

Her actions would be like a soap bubble, bursting at the slightest touch.

All the blame for the Bai Family’s situation would fall on her.

…

“Miss Sheng, please help our Bai Family. After we make a comeback, we will definitely repay you,” she pleaded.

Sheng Zijin sighed, “Miss Bai, I’m not the one who caused your family’s downfall, nor does it have anything to do with me.”

“I know, but your Sheng Family is so powerful,” she insisted.

Sheng Zijin’s eyes flickered slightly, “Miss Bai, instead of asking for my help, you should spend more time looking for Lu Mian. Maybe she can find a way to help you.” How could their Sheng Family need connections and support and still get involved with such a mess?

“Of course, if there are other small matters I can assist with, I’ll do my best to help. After all, it is truly pitiful how far your family has fallen.”

Bai Fangfei bit her lip and hung up the phone.

She walked home with heavy steps, hearing her father and uncle’s conversation from a distance.

“Has our Bai Family offended someone? Is there someone taking the opportunity to swallow us whole?”

“Just relying on that girl Lu Mian, she surely doesn’t have that much capability. However, we’re now counting on Fangfei. If Fangfei can bring good news…”

Bai Fangfei stumbled at the entrance, “Dad, Uncle, Cang Xue didn’t agree.”

“What!”

The next day, Lu Mian went to deliver food to Lei Shuqi, only to find out that he had already been discharged. She felt it was so dishonest for him not to even tell her about his discharge.

She had no choice but to rush to school.

Upon reaching the classroom, she discovered that it was empty, with not a single person in sight.

Surprised for a moment, she then comfortably laid her head on the desk to rest.

She placed a novel under her head, found a comfortable position, and sleepiness swept over her.

She must have drifted off for a few minutes and even had a little dream. When she became aware of a slight movement next to her, she rubbed her eyes and found that someone had appeared in the seat next to her.

The person was sitting quietly, holding a flamboyantly colored novel, intently reading it.

The title of the novel was rather… “Honey and the Beautiful Kitchen Daughter-in-law.”

“…” Lu Mian felt a bit embarrassed for some reason, snatching the novel back into her hands and muttered, “Mine.”

Xiao Qimo smiled, propping his head on his arm as he gazed softly at Lu Mian.

The two of them were sitting so close together in the empty classroom at the very back, an unspoken intimacy hanging between them.

It was so inappropriate!

“You read this during class?”

He pointed at her stack of novels, which included all sorts, some of which seemed quite embarrassing to look at.

Flipping open a page at random, he found a bookmark tucked inside, and immediately turned to it.

It was a delicate and pretty ginkgo leaf-shaped metal bookmark,

Thin as a sheet.

Xiao Qimo squinted slightly, wanting to touch the bookmark, but Lu Mian snatched it back into her hands faster than him.

“This is mine too,” she paused, “Director Qimo, what are you doing here?”

“If I hadn’t come, were you planning to sit here all day?”

“Ah…” Lu Mian rubbed her chin, “Yeah, where are my classmates?”

“They’ve all gone to the lecture hall for a larger class.”

“…” Lu Mian was at a loss for words; she hadn’t noticed this. Now determined to be a good student, she grabbed a novel at random and headed towards the lecture hall.

Xiao Qimo: “…”
