The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 570 - Chapter 570 Chapter 569 Don't Waste Your Feelings on Mi Lu

Chapter 570: Chapter 569 Don’t Waste Your Feelings on Mi Lu Chapter 570: Chapter 569 Don’t Waste Your Feelings on Mi Lu Lu Mian leisurely shifted her gaze from Shen Yixin and followed Xiao Qimo away.

Ya Ling naturally wouldn’t stay behind either, with Ye Jinwen closely following.

The previous two Shadow Guards also consciously left the Shen Family, disappearing without a trace as if they were never there.

Shen Yixin looked at the four elders in the living room with their dazed eyes, showing no intention of seeing off the guests, and sighed.

Shen Yihe consoled his sister with a look, “Xinxin, you go see them off, I’ll handle things here.”

“Okay.”

Shen Yixin immediately followed them out.

Lu Mian deliberately lagged a step behind, and when she saw Shen Yixin coming out, she slowed down even more until she was walking side by side with Shen Yixin.

Their steps became slower and slower, and eventually, they were left far behind the others.

“Miss Lu, I am truly sorry for bringing such trouble to you and for almost causing you harm,” said Shen Yixin, who also intended to have a few words alone with Lu Mian, thus she walked even slower.

“It doesn’t matter,” Lu Mian pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say more but hesitated.

Shen Yixin didn’t know the extent of Lu Mian’s “It doesn’t matter,” but the thought of her sister hiring a merciless mercenary to harm Lu Mian filled her with dread.

That Lu Mian was unharmed was a blessing for the Shen Family.

Although today’s outcome seemed bleak, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Yet their parents and Yiyao never believed that Qimo truly loved Miss Lu, that man could do something even more ruthless for Miss Lu.

In the end, it was Lu Mian and Qimo who showed mercy.

Grateful for this kindness, Shen Yixin expressed her regret, “Our family went too far.

Last time when Mr.

Fu came for the tuning, my mother also brought him some trouble.”

Lu Mian was slightly surprised, “My uncle?”

“Yes, we happened to meet at the cafA(c) once because he also likes Mi Lu, so we got to know each other.”

At the mention of Mi Lu, a flicker passed through Lu Mian’s eyes.

“That…” Lu Mian paused.

Shen Yixin, busy searching her pockets, didn’t notice her expression, and soon pulled out a piece of paper with some names and phone numbers on it, cutting off what Lu Mian was about to say.

“Miss Lu, a few people in the circle have reached out to me, wanting to commission your work; are you interested?”

After her dazzling appearance at the music concert on the fifth day, many in the industry naturally caught wind of it.

Especially since her music style had some similarities with Mi Lu’s, people who couldn’t afford Mi Lu turned their attention to Lu Mian.

Lu Mian waved her hand, showing no interest whatsoever, not even reaching for the piece of paper.

Shen Yixin had anticipated this outcome and put the paper away, nodding, “Fine, I’ll go back and tell them.

You really are quite like Mi Lu in temperament.”

Lu Mian: “…”

“Miss Shen,” Lu Mian pondered for a moment before finally speaking up, her tone soothing and persuasive, “As far as I know, Mr.

Mi Lu should be into men.”

Into…

.cO

men?

Shen Yixin was caught off guard by this revelation, her previously gentle smile stiffening.

She quickly masked her rigid and impolite expression, forcing a smile, “What do you mean, Miss Lu?”

“I just think you shouldn’t waste your feelings on this,” Lu Mian said succinctly.

After finishing her point, she turned and left.

“…”

Shen Yixin watched her leaving figure, biting her lip hard to maintain composure.

She didn’t doubt the truthfulness of Lu Mian’s words; Lu Mian wasn’t one to joke about such matters.

But all things considered, what Miss Lu meant was…

Mr.

Mi Lu is gay?

She gasped, feeling as if she had been hit.

Even though she hadn’t thought too far ahead, once she fell in love, it was hard to remain unaffected.

How did this happen?

For many years, she had never known about Mr.

Mi Lu’s sexual orientation nor had she ever detected any hint of a romance.

Still unwilling to accept it, she fumbled for her phone in a panic and sent a private message to Mr.

Mi Lu’s account through a social media app.

Lu Mian had already walked far away, approaching Xiao Qimo, when her phone suddenly buzzed.

Her forehead twitched abruptly.

“Let’s go.” After a moment of stunned silence, Lu Mian’s expression was natural, as if she hadn’t noticed it.

But Xiao Qimo, hands crossed in front of his chest and leaning against the black car door, sharply reminded her, “You’ve got a message.”

Lu Mian’s hands were tucked into her pockets as she nonchalantly turned her head.

“Don’t bother with it.”

“Aren’t you going to check it?” Xiao Qimo insisted.

Lu Mian couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Director Xiao was eager to see her phone.

emmm…

Her fingers twitched a few times in her pocket before she slowly pulled it out.

Without concealing anything, she opened it in front of Xiao Qimo, “It’s just a software notification.”

Xiao Qimo, taking advantage of his height, glanced at the screen but couldn’t make out anything suspicious and finally moved aside to open the car door for Lu Mian.

Lu Mian coughed lightly and slipped into the back seat.

Xiao Qimo closed the car door and, as he walked to the other side, casually took out his own phone.

After the screen lit up, it still displayed the photo gallery from earlier at the Shen family’s living room.

He had been busy looking at Lu Mian’s retouched photos at that time.

The man’s gaze slightly narrowed as he put his phone away and opened the car door to get in.

Mo Si turned around and said, “Miss Lu, Boss Mo.”

From the way he greeted them, it was clear that Mo Si had completely mastered his governor and conception vessels.

Lu Mian gave Mo Si a detached glance and didn’t respond.

A tattling turncoat.

Mo Si touched his nose, feeling incredibly guilty.

Pretending to enjoy the scenery, he turned his head and saw Ye Jinwen clinging to Ya Ling at the door, saying something, so he eagerly rolled down the window.

“Young Master Ye, are you getting in the car?”

Ye Jinwen didn’t pay him any mind and turned to seek Ya Ling’s opinion, “Xi Xi, are you getting on?”

Ya Ling smiled slightly, “If you get on…

I won’t.

If you don’t, I will.”

The aggrieved Little Yezi carefully took hold of Ya Ling’s hand, “Xi Xi, don’t be like this…”

Upon seeing this, Mo Si clicked his tongue.

So this lady was Young Master Ye’s spring, huh!

Previously, he only knew that she had appeared in front of the Jinjing Theater and was Miss Lu’s good friend.

Now that he got a good look at her figure, she seemed somewhat familiar.

He suddenly remembered, and exclaimed in astonishment, “Young Master Ye, isn’t she the motorcycle girl you protected at all costs, even if it meant crashing your car?!”

“…

”

Ya Ling’s motion of pushing Ye Jinwen abruptly paused.

Ye Jinwen’s entwined hands were left hanging in mid-air.

Mo Si, as if he had uncovered a blind spot, excitedly pointed it out.

“It was that time when we went chasing after the motorcycle girl in the car, and you even got injured and fractured a bone!

You forgot that after you woke up, you were still clamoring to find her!

Right, Miss Lu even drew an abstract painting for you at that time!”

Ye Jinwen: Bro, you didn’t need to remind me with such details.

Lu Mian: Hmm?

Little Mo Si, did you really have to go into such detail?
