Chapter 574: Chapter 573: Uncle Mo is now a walking vinegar essence!

Xiu Qian saw that she had finally taken an interest and took the initiative to speak.

“You should know my relationship with Uncle Qimo by now, the Xiao Family is our main family.

Sufeng Game Company was originally an industry of the Xiao Family, and now it is managed by my parents, which is an asset given to us by the Xiao Family.”

Lu Mian frowned, unaware that Xiu Qian was the Crown Prince of Sufeng.

But she wasn’t interested in these matters, she was just a bit curious as to why they wanted Director Qi at the press conference.

“Sufeng Game Company was founded by Uncle Qimo, and has a great influence both within the company and in the circle.

If he could appear at the tournament’s press conference, it would be a very good sign for Sufeng.”

“…” Lu Mian’s eyes flickered.

So Sufeng Game Company was founded by Director Qi.

The more she learned about him, the more she realized that they had somehow had several intersections.

It was the same with Shadow Hunting Team, and with Sufeng as well, quite mysterious.

She nodded her head; it wasn’t too much trouble, “I can ask him for you.

But the final decision still lies with Director Qi.”

“Okay, thank you,” Xiu Qian sincerely thanked her, looking up at Lu Mian again, suddenly feeling a sense of alienation.

She was clearly a high school student like him, yet she seemed out of place in their world, distant and unreachable, impossible to touch or to catch up with.

Not one of us.

That was the conclusion Xiu Qian ultimately came to in five words.

But he still intuitively felt a certain familiarity with Lu Mian.

“By the way, if Uncle Qimo agrees, you can also come along.

I see you quite like playing games, I’ll have our technical department quietly give you some rare items and discontinued skins…”

“…”

Lu Mian curved the corners of her lips, but remained silent.

She didn’t need those things, really.

She wasn’t willing to attend any press conferences or get involved with their company’s internal team disputes.

If she ever went to Sufeng, it could only be because W had gone.

She actually wanted to ask why he suddenly left back then…

Xiu Qian had laid out all the rare items, but Lu Mian maintained such an indifferent attitude as if these items, which were worth millions on the market, were just cabbages to her.

She truly was an enigma.

Xiu Qian couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Lu Mian, inadvertently taking a closer look at her phone’s screen and was stunned.

“Lu Mian, why are you playing the beta version?” Xiu Qian was very surprised, “This is an account version that only a few top executives at the company have.”

“…” Lu Mian raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and casually turned off the phone screen.

She had overlooked that Xiu Qian was the Crown Prince of Sufeng Game Company, and he would definitely know a lot about his own company’s products.

“This is…”

Before Lu Mian could explain, Xiu Qian suddenly realized, “You must be using Uncle Qimo’s account, right?”

“Ah…” Lu Mian tugged at the corner of her lips, tossing the blame lightly, “You’re really smart.”

Xiu Qian was speechless, “Then you really are pretty idle.

Ignoring the official version to play a beta version with not much to experience.”

Lu Mian: …

While they were talking, Lu Mian didn’t notice that at the entrance of the Yulan Pavilion, two men were standing.

The two men had no intention of going in just yet.

One of them had an air about him that was three parts cold and seven parts melancholic.

Lu Mian and Xiu Qian were unaware.

“Well, I should go pack my bags too,” he knew she wasn’t keen on dealing with him, so he had no choice but to take his leave.

.Co

Before leaving he explained, “I’m very sorry for what I said to you before, but I still hope that you can take good care of yourself.

Take care.”

Xiu Qian left the lobby.

Lu Mian glanced back at his figure, her gaze serene.

Standing at the entrance of the hall, Xiao Qimo, feeling quite disgruntled, planned to go over to Lu Mian.

Just as he lifted his leg, another boy rushed to Lu Mian’s side.

The elegant man retraced his step, taking out his phone to record: the fifth one.

Yun Sang, standing a meter away from him, shook with laughter.

Xiao Qimo was now a walking vinegar jar!

The elegant man heard Yun Sang’s mocking laughter and shot him a glance.

Right, he had to include Yun Sang.

aEUR”aEUR”

Zhang Yanyan had come down specifically to find Lu Mian, and he had become much more cheerful compared to the beginning.

“Lu Mian, when are you returning to Wucheng?”

“Should be soon.” She was much more patient while talking to Zhang Yanyan: “There isn’t much else to do here.”

She had met Xiao’s mother, eaten the meals she cooked, and even seen her little uncle; that was satisfying enough for her.

As for Sufeng, if W wasn’t going, she didn’t need to either.

Ya Ling and Ye Jinwen, well, they could handle their own affairs.

There wasn’t much else.

Yun Sang, forgotten: What about joining the Shadow Hunting Team we agreed on?

Chu Kong, also forgotten: Can’t you consider being my successor?

Yun Zhijuan, who had long been forgotten in some corner: The leader plans to strive again and save up for another meal.

Zhang Yanyan laughed brightly: “When you return, the students at school will surely be excited.

Especially the members of the ‘Galaxy Protecting Lu Mian’ team, everyone is looking forward to it!”

“…” Such an embarrassing name.

Lu Mian pursed her lips, “You joined as well?”

“Yeah!” Zhang Yanyan was thrilled, “And I even joined the Mo Lu CP group!”

The group members’ first message each day was: Has Director Qimo caught up with Goddess Lu Mian today?

Actually, he had wanted many times to tell everyone to stop idolizing; it was probably impossible between Lu Mian and Director Qimo.

Aside from his diligent studies, he had overheard classmates chatting.

He heard that Lu Mian was with the investor of their physics competition, who happened to be Xiu Qian’s uncle and was currently living in the Zitan Pavilion…

It was a pity that he had never witnessed the investor in person.

The last time the guy had come to the Yulan Pavilion to support Lu Mian, he was seated in the last row and didn’t catch a glimpse.

After that, there was no chance to meet him, but he heard from other classmates that the guy was quite handsome and young.

He couldn’t bear to dash the hopes of the CP fans and stubbornly thought that without conclusive evidence, it didn’t count as being together.

“What group?” Lu Mian didn’t catch the name.

Zhang Yanyan suppressed a few chuckles, “It’s just a group for chatting and sharing beautiful pictures.

Lu Mian, do you want to take a look?”

Lu Mian wasn’t interested, as she stood up and patted Zhang Yanyan’s shoulder meaningfully: “I won’t look, and you should look less too.

We’re in the senior year of high school now; studying is still the priority.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Qimo, by the entrance, saw them shoulder-to-shoulder, and his brows knitted into a knot.

Who was this guy?

Lu Mian had been so cold when she spoke with Xiu Qian, so why did she talk so much in front of this boy?

And she even patted his shoulder?!

Xiao Qimo’s jealousy surged unbidden.

He snapped his phone shut and pocketed it, ready to nip blossoming romances in the bud.

Striding with composure (and a sense of urgency), he walked up as if no one else were there and gracefully extended his hand to encircle the girl into his embrace.

Caught off guard, Lu Mian stumbled a bit, looking up in confusion.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Qimo looked down, his eyes and brows smiling as he rubbed her head.

“Baby, what are you chatting about?

You seem to be having a great time.”
