The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 332 - 331: If I don’t show you some colors, you wont know how awesome Lu Mian is!

Chapter 332: Chapter 331: If I don’t show you some colors, you won’t know how awesome Lu Mian is!

An elderly man with white hair trembled as he walked out, “All this commotion, how can you let the patient rest?”

“Grandpa Su?” Lu Xinnuan exclaimed in surprise.

Sheng Zijin was shocked again, even Elder Su was here?!

Today had brought too many shocks for her!

Elder Su paid no attention to the others and was a bit annoyed to see Fu Man and Lu Xinnuan. He was a kindly and gentle person, usually not one to embarrass others. But this mother and daughter kept causing trouble, and even his good temper was wearing thin.

“Why is it always you two? Hasn’t Lu Mian severed ties with you? It’s endless, like a dog’s skin plaster! Mianmian, if it really comes to that, you can register your household under the Su Family. Then nobody will dare to harass you again!”

...

“!!!”

Sheng Zijin and Lu Xinnuan were equally shocked.

Inside the room, Ye Jinwen spoke out dissatisfiedly, poking his head out, “It’s not necessary, Elder Su. The Su Family already has grandchildren they can hardly look after. Unlike the Ye Family, my uncle is actually hoping for a daughter! Little Mianmian, come to the Ye Family!”

Lu Mian: “…”

It was boring.

Sheng Zijin, supporting herself against the wall, “Young Master Ye, you’re here too?”

This was the first time she had witnessed such a scene; so many people of high status were altogether protecting an inconspicuous girl. And those people she had tried so hard and longed so much to meet were all here, in her small hospital room.

The more excited she had been when she arrived, the more jealous she felt now.

“Lu Mian, you say how you want to deal with the person who slandered your reputation,” said Han Jin decisively.

“Ah…” Lu Mian leaned against the wall, completely ignoring the question, and pouted, “Don’t ask me. You all decide.”

This was the confidence of having powerful backers.

Without worrying about anything or asking about anything, there were people to take care of everything for her perfectly.

Han Jin took out his phone and sent a message to Principal Zhang, even snapping a picture of Lu Xinnuan in the process.

Fu Man panicked, nearly lunging forward, “Commander Han, please don’t do this. Considering the relationship between the Lu Family and you, please let Xinnuan off just this once.”

“My relationship with the Lu Family?”

“Have you forgotten? Back then, my younger brother and sister-in-law got in touch with you and managed to pull some strings to get Lu Mian into Kunpeng High School. Please, for the sake of that favor, let Xinnuan’s mistake slide, alright?”

…

Han Jin continued to text, not lifting his head, finding the situation somewhat amusing.

“Lady, you must be mistaken. I originally arranged for Lu Mian to go straight to university; it was her who insisted on going to Kunpeng High School. And…”

Han Jin sent the message and finally looked up, “I’m friends with Lu Mian, what does it have to do with your Lu Family? Don’t overstate your importance! If it weren’t for Lu Mian’s sake, do you think Lu Xinnuan could have stayed in school until now?”

When Lu Mian had said “don’t ask her,” it meant she was no longer going to shield the Lu Family, letting them handle matters as they pleased, and she wouldn’t intervene.

They really thought themselves so capable, unaware of the kind of people they had provoked!

“Exactly!” Ye Jinwen chimed in, “Lu Mian gave you a chance, just be humble. Why jump out like this? Without teaching you a lesson, you won’t realize how powerful Lu Mian is!”

Lu Mian: …

This wasn’t a flattery convention, was it?!

The three people opposite were all dumbfounded and bewildered; not only did these individuals stand up for Lu Mian, but they also seemed to value her quite a bit…

…

It was only then that Fu Man truly understood.

From the beginning, Lu Mian had never relied on her family, and even the peace they had enjoyed until now was thanks to Lu Mian’s grace. Now that Lu Mian no longer covered for the Lu Family, no one would give face to the Lu Family, and Nuannuan’s education…

“I…I” Lu Xinnuan burst into tears, seemingly aware of her dark future and the consequences she could never bear, “What do you want from me…what are you going to do to me…I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Han Jin couldn’t be bothered to reply, “Once you’re at school, you’ll know.”

Lu Xinnuan let out a sharp cry, her mind completely shattered. She wanted to make a fuss, to throw a tantrum, but she didn’t dare.

Every person here could crush her…

Fu Man was helpless, having cried and begged, and looking at Lu Mian’s indifferent eyes, she knew everything was already decided.

Mother and daughter both leaned against the wall, slowly collapsing to the ground.

Lu Mian rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat tired.

Seeing that the situation was under control, a few people hurriedly persuaded her to return to the ward to rest.

Sheng Zijin took this opportunity to step forward, “Mr. Su, Director Han, Young Master Ye…”

This time she knew to use honorifics, and from one address, the immense impact on her heart was evident.

“I’m here on behalf of my grandfather to bring you all a little gift. It’s a painting and calligraphy by Master Xiao Jianli, purchased by my grandfather at an auction,” Sheng Zijin said as she proceeded to open the camphorwood case she had been protecting behind her.

The three men exchanged glances.

In order to gain support, the Sheng Family had indeed spent a fortune to procure the calligraphy and painting by Master Xiao Jianli from the Xiao Family.

But…

No matter how good the item was, they were not without their own plans.

Han Jin dismissed her outright.

“Miss Sheng, as I’ve made it very clear, I won’t involve myself in those matters of Jinjing, so it’s no use coming to me,” he said.

Mr. Su nodded as well, “I have a good private relationship with your grandfather, but some things can’t just happen the way you want. I’m old now and won’t involve myself in these things anymore.”

Sheng Zijin’s hand holding the box stiffened. The treasure she guarded was not even being glanced at by the people opposite her.

“Young Master Ye…” she put her last bit of hope on Ye Jinwen.

Ye Jinwen shook his head, “Not interested.”

Sheng Zijin still wanted to say something, but Ye Jinwen had lost his patience.

“Go on, go away, stop bothering us. If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call home and have them support your rivals, the Wang Family,” he threatened.

Frightened, Sheng Zijin fell silent immediately.

The Wang Family, they were the strongest contenders for the Sheng Family’s vacated position among the top-tier clans, currently trying all means to court the leader of IEG!

Lu Mian’s eyes lifted slightly, asking one more question, “The Wang Family of Wang Yanzhuo?”

“…” Ye Jinwen didn’t know, looking blankly, “Wang Yanzhuo? I don’t know him. But, I do know that the Wang Family has just added a granddaughter, and they say they will hold a full moon celebration for her soon. But the Wang Family is known for favoring males over females, so who knows what their intentions are with this full moon celebration now. Mianmian, why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Just curious,” Lu Mian retracted her gaze and waved her hand, casually entering the ward.

The big shots immediately followed her in and closed the door of the ward, isolating Sheng Zijin, Fu Man, and Lu Xinnuan outside.

Sheng Zijin’s high heels echoed heavily as she left in disarray. Fu Man and Lu Xinnuan supported each other and walked away step by step.

Inside the ward.

Mr. Su and Han Jin sat on the sofa, one on each side, sizing each other up.

Su Qinghe seemed somewhat defensive, calmly asking Han Jin, “Why have you come back?”
