The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 502 - Chapter 502 Chapter 501 Grandpa Mo's Rightful Girlfriend

Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Grandpa Mo’s Rightful Girlfriend Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Grandpa Mo’s Rightful Girlfriend Lu Mian thoughtfully handed him a few tissues.

Mo Si took them and even gave her a thumbs up.

“Miss Lu, you can be compared with that taxi driver.”

Lu Mian turned her head, “Who is that?”

The only response she got was the sound of Mo Si retching.

After Mo Si calmed down for a while, he was back to normal.

With Mo Si there, having mentioned the Xiao Family’s name, Lu Mian easily entered the calligraphy and painting institute.

The houses here were all traditional Chinese-style residences with modern decorative touches, quite charming.

Walking through several porches, Lu Mian strode inside when she heard a voice coming from somewhere.

She stopped to listen attentively.

“Brother Qimo, I’ve liked you for a long time…

I’ve admired you since I was young, especially after seeing you, I fell for you.

My mom says you are reserved and reticent, which perfectly suits someone lively and extroverted like me.

I also feel that we are especially well-matched, complementing each other’s personalities.

Although we haven’t interacted much before, I’ve learned calligraphy and painting for many years to be close to you, even my grandfather says I have a good foundation.

I also know you brought home a girlfriend this year, but I understand that was just to placate your family…”

Hearing this, Lu Mian frowned and looked towards Mo Si at her side.

Mo Si got the hint and quickly whispered an explanation, “That’s Shen Yiyao from the Shen Family, the one who came to our house with her paintings and calligraphy yesterday.”

With that said, Lu Mian remembered.

Her brows deeply furrowed, she gazed at Mo Si and asked coolly, “Are she and Xiao Qimo a good match in terms of personality?”

What could Mo Si dare to say?

His cold sweat was pouring out as he shook his head repeatedly, “Miss Lu, don’t listen to her nonsense, even if she likes Master Mo so much, what does it matter if Master Mo doesn’t like her?”

Lu Mian didn’t speak but asked icily again, “So when your Master Mo brought me home this year, it was to deal with his family?”

Mo Si almost regretted coming out with Lu Mian.

Having just experienced a life-and-death car race, he now faced this deadly question.

He hadn’t expected that the young lady inside would be so bold.

Perhaps she thought that Master Mo was coming today to pick up the paintings, so she took the opportunity to confess her feelings.

But she never imagined that the visitor today would be Miss Lu, and that her words would happen to be overheard by Miss Lu.

Mo Si shook his head even more vigorously, “How could that be?

Master Mo brought you home with all sincerity!”

“…”

Right, Xiao Qimo had mentioned that he wanted to bring the girl he liked to meet his parents.

It was her who had been slow to realize, not appreciating his genuine feelings.

Lu Mian nodded silently, feeling somewhat desolate.

Mo Si breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped a catastrophe.

The young girl inside continued muttering to herself, rehearsing over and over again.

Lu Mian didn’t intend to listen any further and walked straight ahead without looking sideways.

After walking in, she saw a delicate and charming young girl with a flushed face standing under a long corridor, holding a piece of paper in her hand and mumbling something.

Excited yet anxious, she also appeared somewhat shy.

When the girl sensed someone approaching from behind, she instinctively hid the piece of paper and wore a radiant smile on her face.

At first, she thought it was Xiao Qimo, whom she had been longing for, but upon seeing Lu Mian’s face, the smile turned into annoyance.

“`

“Why is it you?” Shen Yiyao’s face immediately changed color, “What are you doing here?”

Lu Mian walked over confidently, her face calm and showing no particular emotion, only a somewhat somber aura surrounding her.

She approached Shen Yiyao’s side, “I’m here to retrieve grandfather’s artwork for Xiao Qimo.”

“Just you?” Shen Yiyao recognized Lu Mian and had long found her displeasing to the eye.

With a cold snort and without answering Lu Mian’s question, she commanded imperiously, “I’m asking you, where is Brother Qimo?

Why didn’t he come himself?”

Lu Mian replied with a calm smile, “What difference does it make whether I come or he comes?”

Having said that, Lu Mian then noticed that besides Shen Yiyao, there was another old acquaintance in the corridor, someone whose presence surprised her even more.

At this moment, Shao Yunxuan also spotted Lu Mian.

She handed a thermos cup to Shen Yiyao and looked at Lu Mian incredulously.

“Lu Mian, what are you doing here?”

See, the first reaction they always have is to ask her this question; as if her showing up here was a profanation of the calligraphy and painting institute.

Shen Yiyao looked at the two of them, “You know each other?”

Shao Yunxuan nodded, “Yes, we knew each other before, but we’re not closely related.”

Eager to set boundaries with Lu Mian, Shao Yunxuan was here today thanks to Shen Yixin’s blessing.

She had originally gone to the Shen family to extend New Year greetings, and Shen Yiyao mentioned there was a particularly important event that required an accompanist; she happened to be brought along for that reason.

She had never interacted with the daughters of these Supreme Clans and was desperate to create opportunities to impress them in front of their faces, climbing their social network.

Following Shen Yiyao’s request, she immediately nodded and agreed.

It was just playing the piano, nothing difficult about that.

She just hadn’t expected to encounter Lu Mian here.

The feeling was like seeing a beggar in the palace; it was utterly unbelievable.

Shen Yiyao laughed with disdain, “Since you know each other, I won’t need to introduce you.

Yunxuan, you probably don’t know yet, but this Miss Lu Mian here is the lowly girl I told you about!”

Her words spared no courtesy and she didn’t leave any face for Lu Mian, speaking very rudely.

“It’s her?” Shao Yunxuan was even more shocked.

She had just heard about it from Shen Yiyao: the heir of the number one Supreme Clan, the Xiao family, brought back a girlfriend this year, and she’s a commoner, not really presentable.

She had previously envied the commoner for her good fortune in clinging to the Xiao family, and now she found out that that person was Lu Mian.

Could it be that Lu Mian’s rumored boyfriend is the sole heir of the Xiao family?

That was too shocking!

Regardless of whether Lu Mian was a lowly girl or not, now that she had climbed up to the Xiao family, to her, it was an unreachable height, further igniting a sense of jealousy in her heart.

Shao Yunxuan’s eyes flickered as she silently took out her phone and sent a message to Fu Shuangshuang.

Meanwhile, Shen Yiyao kept her gaze fixed on Lu Mian, her plan to confess being interrupted and feeling unhappy about it.

In a moment, she attributed all the faults to Lu Mian.

“You say you are here to collect Grandfather Xiao’s calligraphy and paintings, but under what identity are you doing so?

Why should I hand over the paintings to you?”

Lu Mian knew that if she came by herself, it certainly wouldn’t be so simple to retrieve them, but fortunately, she brought Mo Si.

Mo Si stepped forward promptly and stated, “Miss Lu Mian is the legitimate girlfriend of our Master Mo.”
