The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 690 - Chapter 690 Chapter 689 Soon We Will Be Drinking Their Wedding Wine

Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Soon We Will Be Drinking Their Wedding Wine Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Soon We Will Be Drinking Their Wedding Wine Mentioning this suddenly brought tears to Hua Ying’s eyes.

Without saying a word, tears began to fall, pitter-patter.

???

Daine panicked, suddenly finding the spicy strips in his hand completely unappetizing.

He had only asked one question, how did he end up making the girl cry?

“Miss Hua, this…”

Xiao Qimo stood coldly to the side, completely immune to the girl’s tears, while Wa Zhiqi, who was as thick-skinned as they came, pretended to examine the room’s equipment, without any intention of helping.

Daine: …

“Miss Hua, please calm down, stop crying…” Daine was clueless on how to comfort a girl.

He pulled out all the spicy strips from his pocket, “Do you want some spicy strips?”

Hua Ying cried even harder.

“No, don’t cry, crying won’t solve the problem.” Seeing the young lady cry so heartbreakingly, Daine couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.

And their original plan to ask some questions was now at a standstill.

Having no other choice, Daine glared at Wa Zhiqi, who was enjoying the scene, “Send a message to Miss Lu, ask her to come over and comfort Miss Hua!”

“Ah?

Have Lu Mian comfort someone?” Wa Zhiqi thought Captain Daine hadn’t quite grasped Lu Mian’s character.

Lu Mian might look like a vibrant and beautiful girl on the outside, but she walked a fierce and unbeatable wild path.

“They’re both girls, let her give it a try.” Daine didn’t understand what had upset Hua Ying, but he couldn’t just leave her crying like that.

Young girls have things in common; Lu Mian could probably comfort her…

hopefully.

In the end, Wa Zhiqi not only messaged Lu Mian but also contacted Wang Xintong.

After the two ladies arrived, the three men stepped out.

As Xiao Qimo passed by Lu Mian, he subtly brushed the back of her hand, unabashed in front of everyone.

After being force-fed a mouthful of dog food, Daine glared at Wa Zhiqi, who ducked his head and scurried off guiltily.

Only Wang Xintong, Lu Mian, and Hua Ying were left in the room.

Wang Xintong walked over to Hua Ying with sympathy and hugged her, “Miss Hua, do you miss your dad?

Don’t worry, we will all work together to rescue Dr.

Hua.”

Hua Ying sobbed and nodded, somewhat calming down.

“Thank you…”

“There, there, don’t cry.

Whatever grievances you have, or anything you want to say, you can talk to Sister.

Sister will help you…” Wang Xintong continued to comfort her with patience and gentleness.

Being able to help Hua Ying would make her own role at the office that much more significant.

If she could also assist in cracking the case, Mr.

Sikong and the president would surely treat her differently.

While she was calculating her own gains, Hua Ying was not appreciative, pointing at Lu Mian and speaking to Wang Xintong, “I would like to talk to Sister Mianmian alone, could you please step outside?”

“…”

Wang Xintong was quite embarrassed.

She had meant well by coming to comfort someone, but she was now being chased out.

What kind of spell had Lu Mian cast on Hua Ying, that Hua Ying was so stuck on her?

With feelings of reluctance and annoyance, she left the room, closing the door behind her, her dissatisfaction with Lu Mian growing.

But in fact, Lu Mian’s attitude was much worse than Wang Xintong’s, even worse than the three men’s earlier demeanor.

She sat by the tea table minding her own business, legs crossed leisurely, engrossed in her game, neither speaking nor offering comfort.

After sobbing for a while, Hua Ying finally spoke up weakly.

“Sister Mianmian…”

Lu Mian lifted her head lazily, “Speak.”

“…” Hua Ying bit her lip, “You remember my father, don’t you?”

“Of course.

Doctor Hua still owes me a report.”

“I wouldn’t know that; Father also mentioned you, he had lots of good things to say about you.” She had seen Lu Mian’s photo at her father’s place, so when she arrived in Shencheng, she recognized Lu Mian at first sight.

Lu Mian’s expression was very indifferent, uninterested in this kind of small talk.

“In this unfamiliar place, the only person I know is you.

I’m also afraid they will take me away, but I know that you will protect me, right?”

Hua Ying kept releasing goodwill and enthusiasm towards Lu Mian, but she did not receive a corresponding response.

Lu Mian was too stingy with her emotions, rarely showing tenderness or patience to anyone, and she asked in a strictly businesslike manner, “Miss Hua, what did you see when Dr.

Hua had his accident?”

Hua Ying bit her lip, her eyes reddening again.

“I feel so sorry for my dad, I even had an argument with him that day…”

Lu Mian looked up at Hua Ying, seemingly judging her micro-expressions.

Continuing, Hua Ying said, “After my dad disappeared, I was really sad.

If only I’d been more sensible…

But now, I have no idea where he is.

That afternoon, he was walking ahead angrily, and I was chasing after him, arguing.

When we passed through the garden of our housing complex, Dad suddenly vanished.”

Lu Mian frowned, “Suddenly?”

“Yes, just like that, a person right in front of you aEUR” whoosh aEUR” gone.” Hua Ying recalled, “My mind went completely blank; by the time I came to, my dad had disappeared…”

Lu Mian had a strong capacity to accept things.

Having experienced some things herself, she was very calm about such surreal events others spoke of and could accept them.

“Rest well, I’m leaving.” Having made up her mind, Lu Mian put away her phone and got up lazily.

Hua Ying: …

“Sister Mianmian, you will definitely find my dad, won’t you?”

“We will,” Lu Mian nodded.

“Thank you.

He’s the only family I have left.

I won’t argue with him anymore; I just want him to come back…”

Lu Mian disliked listening to these sentimental things, slightly nodding her head before opening the door and leaving, with Hua Ying following to the doorway.

“Sister Mianmian, I heard that you and Mr.

NovelFire.net

Qimo are dating, is your relationship still going well?”

Lu Mian didn’t understand why she had jumped to this topic and perfunctorily replied with a “pretty good” before walking away.

Hua Ying stood at the door, watching her departing figure for a long while before returning to her room.

aEUR”aEUR”

Daine and Wang Zhiqi dejectedly returned to the office where Sikong Jian was reading the office’s paperwork, glancing up at them.

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Zhiqi, with a troubled expression, said, “Captain Daine made the witness cry.”

“I didn’t say anythingaEUR|” Daine, feeling aggrieved, munched on a couple of spicy sticks, then turned and asked Wang Zhiqi somewhat aggressively, “Did you remind Mr.

Qimo to be mindful of his personal conduct, like I asked you to?”

“I didn’t say itaEUR|” Wang Zhiqi tried to console him, “It’s not a big deal, and besides, they’re going to get married soon.

It’s not necessary!”

“Married?”

Sikong, reacting even quicker than Daine, slapped down the file in his hand.

“Yes, Mr.

Qimo said that after this case is over, we’ll be able to celebrate his and Miss Lu’s wedding.

It’s going to be a grand and sensational wedding,” Wang Zhiqi was already imagining the impressive wedding the Xiao Family would throw.

Sikong leaned his tongue against his palate and let out a cold laugh.

“I need some air.”

“Mr.

Sikong?” Wang Zhiqi followed him.

“Don’t follow,” Sikong said.

Sikong Jian left the office and took out the office’s newly issued mobile phone to send Lu Mian a message.

Having read the profiles of the office members, he naturally remembered Lu Mian’s number.
