The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 490 - Chapter 490 Chapter 489 When it comes to being scheming, Uncle Mo is number one

Chapter 490: Chapter 489: When it comes to being scheming, Uncle Mo is number one Chapter 490: Chapter 489: When it comes to being scheming, Uncle Mo is number one Yun Sang didn’t want to say more on this topic and silently glanced at Ye Jinwen.

His devilish deep eyes held a flickering darkness, and after a moment, he spoke, “It’s nothing serious, just some leftover issues from the family.”

“…” Ye Jinwen sighed, “You say you don’t tell your bros, bros want to help you but can’t!”

“Help me?” Yun Sang started to laugh, with a mischievous air.

Ye Jinwen suddenly turned his head to look at him and was stunned for a moment.

He must be bewitched, thinking that just now Yun Sang looked somewhat like Little Mianmian!

“You better take care of your own mess!” Yun Sang unmercifully teased him, and even stabbed further, “Can’t even figure out your own psychological issues and yet you’re playing psychologist for others!”

Ye Jinwen: !!!

Hitting someone where it hurts, if you keep this up, bro, I…

I’ll just cry for you to see!

Seeing that Yun Sang still refused to reveal the truth, Ye Jinwen didn’t continue to question him.

For self-preservation, he quickly changed the topic: “Hey, Yun Sang, have you actually confirmed Number Thirteen’s identity?

Who in the villa is he really?

I seriously think the guy might be a robot…”

Yun Sang gave him a disgusted glance and, finding that Ye Jinwen truly hadn’t noticed the truth, felt rather sympathetic for a moment.

Not wanting to let his intelligence quotient be dragged down by his iron triangle brother, he could only deeply sigh, “Why don’t you take some time to ask Lu Mian then.”

“Ask Little Mianmian?

If I ask, it’s about what happened that night…” He grinned suggestively, but upon meeting Yun Sang’s even more sympathetic gaze, he suddenly realized something and was shocked.

“Holy fuck…”

Ye Jinwen’s hands on the steering wheel started to tremble, “Don’t tell me, Little Mianmian is the Number Thirteen we’ve been looking for high and low…”

Yun Sang gave him a look that said there might still be hope for him.

Ye Jinwen: …

The mysterious person he had been searching for for half a year was actually right beside him?!

Oh heavens, is this playing me or playing Qiqi?!

Lu Mian!

Kidnapping victim!

Saving herself?!

This is way too fantastical!

No, no, he definitely needed to find Little Mianmian and get the story straight!

—

On the main road leading to the Xiao Family estate.

Lu Mian sat in the car, unusually putting away her phone and tilting her head to look at the scenery passing by.

It was winter now, and the sides of the road were planted with neatly arranged ginkgo trees, whose canopies were quite bare, but Lu Mian could imagine how beautiful the ginkgoes would be in spring, summer, and fall.

Mo Si in the front passenger seat turned to look at Lu Mian and said, “Miss Lu, these were all personally planted by the Family Head back in the day; the madam loves ginkgo trees.”

See, Miss Lu, the family atmosphere in the Xiao Family is really good!

Marrying our Mo Master, you surely won’t suffer any losses!

Sure enough, Lu Mian’s eyes showed a slight change.

In her memory, her parents’ relationship had always been indifferent.

Perhaps their union was just because it was time to get married, family pressure, and other reasons, and so they formed a family.

She had never felt that close and loving family vibe, and for a moment, as she looked at those ginkgo trees, her gaze softened.

Such romantic episodes, she normally only saw them in novels.

Xiao Qimo in the backseat gave Mo Si a look of approval.

Mo Nie, who was driving, saw it and hurried to show off in front of the master too.

“Miss Lu, the Family Head and the madam are truly in love.

If you go to the Xiao Family, you’ll need to be careful about various things.

Don’t upset the madam.

If the madam is unhappy, the consequences can be quite serious,” Mo Nie said, waiting for his praise.

Mo Si looked at him like he was looking at an idiot.

This Nie brother, true to being a straight man and a blockhead, it’s fine to know such things oneself, why say it out loud?!

Mo Master went to so much trouble to deceive…

ahem, to invite Miss Lu home.

Was that easy for him?

Sure enough, a chilling sensation swept over from the backseat, causing Mo Nie’s back to shiver, and he trembled.

He didn’t say anything wrong, right…

He was sincerely reminding Miss Lu!

As for Lu Mian, she hadn’t thought that much into it; instead, she carefully took note of Mo Nie’s words and even turned around to earnestly ask Xiao Qimo, “What is your mom particularly taboo about?”

She even took out her phone, flipped to the notepad page, and stood ready to jot down anything.

Xiao Qimo was caught between laughter and tears.

Where were there any taboos?

His drama queen mother had been eagerly looking forward to her daughter-in-law coming home.

She must be covertly delighted at home right now.

The refined gentleman couldn’t help but imagine the harmonious scene of bringing her home to meet his parents; his emotions surged, and he forced himself to calm down.

He pushed up his glasses and slowly adjusted his suit collar.

“My mom has one particular taboo.”

“Oh?

Tell me quickly.” Lu Mian started tapping on her phone’s keyboard.

“You cannot mention the idea of acknowledging a godmother in front of her,” the man said earnestly and very firmly.

Mo Si: Mo patriarch is the first when it comes to being dark-hearted!

“…”

Lu Mian slowly put away her phone, feeling both troubled and conflicted.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, didn’t say anything and just uttered, “Oh.”

Not acknowledging a godmother, then what should she acknowledge?

They quickly arrived at the Xiao Family estate.

The car drove all the way in and stopped at the main building.

Ye Jinwen followed shortly after and came to a stop too.

Mo Nie and Mo Si got out of the car and began to move things.

Lu Mian stepped out of the car and looked around at the architecture and surroundings, feeling an inexplicable sense of nervousness.

She had never felt like this when going to unfamiliar places before; it was strange.

Just as she was about to say something to Xiao Qimo, Ye Jinwen urgently pulled Lu Mian to one side.

“Little Mianmian!”

Ye Jinwen could no longer contain himself and after getting out of the car, he forcefully pulled Lu Mian aside to clarify things.

After dragging her to the side and looking around, he asked his most burning question almost conspiratorially, “Little Mianmian, are you really mysterious person number thirteen?”

“…” Uh, wasn’t that already clear?

Lu Mian looked at Ye Jinwen with a bit of sympathy: Brother Ye’s reaction time was a bit slow.

“Yes, I am,” Lu Mian admitted openly.

“Aoow~” Ye Jinwen howled, his face a picture of devastation, “You, you, you’ve really been right beside us?!”

“…”

“So, the two times I found traces of number thirteen in Wucheng, it was all your doing?!”

Lu Mian seemed to be contemplating; she did indeed log in as number thirteen twice, once to look for Yuanyuan and another time to alter the registration form for a physics competition.

She nodded.

Ye Jinwen slapped his forehead with a smack.

So, when he previously said Lu Mian knew nothing about programming and hacking, how foolish was he!

Little Yezi, unable to calculate the shadow on his heart, dejectedly acknowledged that he understood and thanked the big boss for enlightening him.

Lu Mian patted his shoulder.

In the brief time they talked, Lu Mian and Ye Jinwen heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the main building.
