The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 362 - 361: All Thirty of Them Headed Towards the VIP Seats
Chapter 362: Chapter 361: All Thirty of Them Headed Towards the VIP Seats
Lu Mian placed her phone in the palm of her hand, picked it up, glanced at it, and then pulled out a spare ticket from Ye Jinwen’s hand.
After all, thirty tickets were enough for everyone to share, so it didn’t matter if she took one.
She looked at the seat number. It was alright, though it was in the front row, it was a corner position.
As Lu Mian pulled out the ticket, she waved to Xiao Qimo and the others, “Director Qimo, you can take my classmates in first. I need to make a call.”
Xiao Qimo’s eyes darkened slightly as he nodded.
Ye Jinwen instructed, “Little Mianmian, your ticket is in your pocket. We are all in the front row, so don’t go to the wrong place, okay?”
“Okay.”
When there were no more acquaintances at the entrance of the theater, Lu Mian finally dialed the number, with a tone of casual banter, “Woman, have you arrived?”
The other party’s voice was lowered, “I have arrived.”
“I’m at the entrance of the theater.” Lu Mian was waiting for someone. The ticket she held was reserved for that person.
After spotting a tall, sexy figure in the distance, she curved her lips in a smile. Looking around, she walked a few steps toward that direction.
Ya Ling approached her as well.
Ya Ling had also changed into a new outfit, a black, form-fitting fishtail evening gown with a red wool coat over her shoulders and matching high heels. Her wavy hair casually draped behind her, and her lips were a fiery red, her eyes seductive as silk.

In this attire, Ya Ling looked even more sexy and striking.
“Brother Mian!” Ya Ling tightened her scarf, half-concealing her face, “You still remember me.”
“Yep, I know you like hearing that.” Lu Mian handed over the ticket, “Picked a spot that isn’t that great.”
“Just what I wanted.” Ya Ling brought the ticket to her lips, kissed it. She had wanted to give Lu Mian a kiss as well, but the cool girl across from her rejected the idea with a look.
Ya Ling was incredibly frustrated, “The Starlight concert is one less concert every time I hear it. I really hope they find a perfect successor, or else there’s a chance we’ll never see them again…”
“Oh, that thing today…” Lu Mian began to say something.
Ya Ling shook her head, still immersed in regret and sorrow, “Brother Mian, you go in first. I’ll calm down a bit before I go in.”
“…Alright then.” Lu Mian entered alone.
The theater was grand, a 1500-seat venue with luxurious decor and perfect acoustics. After entering, there was a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Sheng Zijin and the others had arrived early, and unexpectedly ran into Lu Xi and his family of three.
Lu Xi was surprised as well.
Originally, he should have returned these three tickets to Mianmian, but since she said it wasn’t necessary, he took the initiative to bring his parents to the concert. This matter should have had nothing to do with Sheng Zijin and the others, but now they had met, and there was inevitably a round of polite exchanges.
Pei Jinlan, as warm as ever, quickly went over to greet them.
“Miss Sheng, you’re here too!”
To Sheng Zijin’s surprise, Lu Xi managed to get tickets for the concert. After all, their attendance at the concert was thanks to the help of You Kezhou’s family.
“Uncle Lu, Auntie Lu,” greeted Sheng Zijin.
Lu Xi responded with a slight acknowledgment.
Taking a step forward, Sheng Zijin smiled and asked, “Uncle, Auntie, where are you seated? If it’s not a good spot, you can switch with a few of my classmates.”
“They listen to concerts frequently,” Sheng Zijin added.
Sheng Zixin immediately passed over his ticket, his eyelids still glued to his smartphone, “Take mine, exchange it for a corner. The worse the spot, the better!” He never wanted to attend the concert; his sister dragged him along to cultivate his sensibilities.
You Kezhou was keen to flaunt as well, and so he offered modestly with a smile.
Their tickets were sprawled out in front of everyone for all to see.
At a glance, one could tell that the seats were in the tenth row, which is considered an excellent spot.
In Sheng Zijin’s eyes, even if Lu Xi managed to get tickets, they certainly wouldn’t be in a good location. Offering this olive branch would also conveniently persuade the Lu Family to give Lu Mian a nudge.
When Lu Xi merely glanced over Sheng Zixin’s tickets, Pei Jinlan and Lu Xingtang also saw them and looked back at their son. They, of course, hoped to sit in a good position, and besides, it was a warm invitation from Miss Sheng, so there was no reason to refuse.
However, seeing their son’s unhurried demeanor, they didn’t know what to say.
Lu Xi, with his gentle and warm manners, slowly took out his three tickets and passed them to Pei Jinlan, while looking at Sheng Zijin, he said, “Thank you, Miss Sheng, for your kind offer, but we are in the front row VIP seats.”
“Ah?” Sheng Zijin sounded as if she had heard wrongly.
You Kezhou and the others also paused for a moment.
Pei Jinlan disbelievingly took the tickets in her hand and only after inspecting them closely did she realize they indeed were VIP seats.
“They really are…” Pei Jinlan’s fingers trembled slightly.
Before, she had only taken a few glances at them, and Lu Xi, protective as if they were treasures, quickly put them away and wouldn’t let them entertain the idea of those tickets. She hadn’t expected them to be for VIP seats.
Originally, they thought that just being able to attend a concert was rare enough. Now they could sit in the most prestigious seats, and the parents from the Lu Family felt instantly elated yet also a bit jittery.
But Lu Xi said these were a gift for Lu Mian…
How could someone give Lu Mian such precious tickets?
Not only was Pei Jinlan surprised, but Sheng Zijin also started to blush at this point. Even they had never managed to get front row VIP seats before, and here they were holding tickets around the tenth row.
“You’re really lucky to have bought VIP seats,” Sheng Zijin said dryly.
Lu Xi also smiled faintly, “Indeed, we are blessed by Mianmian’s light. She gave these to us.”
Lu Mian?
Sheng Zijin’s smile was almost unable to stay in place.
Pei Jinlan kept giving her son meaningful looks, but Lu Xi acted as though he hadn’t seen them, outright ignoring them.
Sheng Zijin’s face became even more embarrassed.
You Kezhou pouted, looking doubtful, “But Lu Mian doesn’t have a ticket for herself…”
While he was saying this, a large group of people started entering the venue, looking magnificent as they marched in.
Upon closer inspection, Sheng Zijin and You Kezhou realized these were Lu Mian’s classmates.
There was Director Qimo, Young Master Ye…
About thirty people bypassed them and made their way towards the front row seats in unison.
That procession, it was quite a sight.
All these people, in front row VIP seats?
Sheng Zijin and You Kezhou couldn’t believe it until they saw them take their seats, and they had no choice but to believe it.
To be honest, it was quite awkward.
They had intended to show off in front of others, only to find that the other party’s tickets were much more superior to their own.
Sheng Zijin quickly bid farewell to Pei Jinlan and led the students behind her to find their own seats quietly. Looking toward the front row, she could see Lu Mian walking in from outside and then sitting in the best spot.
When Pei Jinlan settled down with Lu Xi in their seats, they were surrounded by several students. Full of curiosity, she whispered, “How did Mianmian get such good tickets?”
