The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 723 - Chapter 723 Chapter 722 Pink Envelope

Chapter 723: Chapter 722 Pink Envelope Chapter 723: Chapter 722 Pink Envelope Lu Mian lowered her eyes and looked deeply at Sui Yuan, “You’ve decided?”

“I want to go see the school where my mom used to study,” Sui Yuan explained.

The only photo her mother had left her was taken on the Qing University campus.

The mother in the photo smiled so happily that Qing University must be a wonderful place indeed.

Lu Mian nodded, “That’s fine.”

It was an agreement.

Sui Yuan let out a sigh of relief, “Your Physics Competition scores…”

Lu Mian let out a clueless ‘ah’, she had been like a scumboy fleeing after his deed, never giving the matter a second thought after completing the exam.

“Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Sui Yuan was quite impressed, and who could blame her?

The Physics Competition, a life-deciding event for others, was nothing more than a trivial matter for Mianmian, not even as important as a hamburger to her.

“Alright, we’ll talk about it later,” Sui Yuan muttered, “By the way, do you still have the amulet I gave you?”

Lu Mian hurriedly tossed the tissue ball into the trash can and nodded.

It was a keepsake from Yuanyuan’s mom to her, and then she’d given it to Lu Mian; of course, it had to be taken care of.

Lu Mian found her black backpack and located the yellow amulet in a separate little pocket inside the most inner compartment.

“Look.” She showed it like a schoolkid presenting homework, obedient and cute.

Sui Yuan was satisfied, “Teehee~”

Lu Mian leaned over and ruffled her hair on her forehead.

Her once very short hair had grown about five centimeters, fuzzy and particularly nice to touch.

Sui Yuan hurriedly dodged her ‘claws’, both embarrassed and annoyed.

“Ya Ling, save me.”

Ya Ling was no more proper; she not only didn’t help but even joined in on the action.

The bed became a scene of chaos.

Sikong Jian and Yuren cast a glance at them, envy growing within.

“How have you been at the office these days?” Yuren asked.

“With Mr.

Xiao around, what do you think?”

Yuren straightened his expression, sympathetically criticizing, “Yeah, not that great.”

“Speaking of which.” Sikong remembered something all of a sudden, “There’s someone from the Wang Family at the office, from the Jinjing Wang Family.”

Yuren lifted his head, quietly waiting for him to continue.

“Her name is Wang Xintong.

I’ve seen her file; she’s the one from the Wang Family your sister married into, technically your sister’s sister-in-law,” Sikong Jian said with a fleeting tone of displeasure, “She hasn’t been making things easy for Mianmian at the office.”

Yuren’s brow creased.

Sikong Jian pursed his lips, watching the carefree chaos of the three girls, remarking lightly, “Lu Mian, she’s been holding back her temper, hasn’t laid a hand on her yet.”

“I’ve got it,” said Yuren with a slightly heavy tone.

As the two of them talked, Sui Yuan suddenly exclaimed with a “wow” among the trio of girls.

The men looked over.

“Mianmian, a pink envelope!”

Amidst the commotion on the bed, the envelope that Lu Mian had tucked under her pillow by accident had been revealed.

Lu Mian quickly snatched it back, “Cough, it’s just a letter.”

“Oh~~” Sui Yuan grasped the situation, her lips curling into a small smile as she sneakily glanced towards Yuren and Sikong Jian.

Her gaze lingered on Sikong Jian for a few extra seconds.

Ya Ling, too, was curious, “Little Yuanyuan, you have no idea how lovey-dovey your sister Mianmian and Mr.

Xiao were in Jinjing.”

“Ya Ling, please do tell!” Her book needed more material.

Sikong Jian, who was somewhat impatient on the other side, came over, “Stop praising Xiao Qimo, you all don’t know how much you’re unaware of.”

Was there any need to discuss others amongst the five of them?

Yuren nodded calmly in agreement.

The few people didn’t chat for too long; after they had confirmed their plan, Sikong Jian brought them in and then sent them out just as quietly.

Now, in the vast room, only Lu Mian was left.

She lay sprawled lazily on the bed, staring at the blank expanse of the ceiling, her eyes warm and brows soft.

She casually pulled a pink envelope from under the pillow, and with a smirk, she tore it open.

But as she read through the contents, the smile gradually faded away.

aEUR”aEUR”

On the second day after Xiao Qimo and the others left.

It was also the day when Lu Mian was preparing to take action together with Sikong Jian and the others.

Before Lu Mian could go to Hua Ying’s room to find anyone, Hua Ying had already come looking for her first.

Lu Mian, with an indifferent expression, welcomed her, going along with her plan.

Infirmary.

After coming to punch in, Wang Xintong found herself without much to do and, out of boredom, went to find Hua Ying for breakfast.

Not finding her in her room and hearing from the servants that she had gone to find Lu Mian,

Wang Xintong, not wanting to interact with Lu Mian and even less willing for Hua Ying to be close to Lu Mian, took the opportunity of delivering a small cake for Hua Ying to Lu Mian’s room.

However, as she was walking along the corridor, by a woman’s intuition, she suddenly felt a chill.

She reassured herself that it was probably just because the men weren’t around, making it seem very quiet.

Carrying a delicate little bag in her hand, she continued forward.

Until she reached the door of Lu Mian’s room, the sense of restless unease became even stronger.

Already here, Wang Xintong steeled herself and knocked on the door of Lu Mian’s room.

After the first knock, the door creaked open on its own, her fingertips slightly recoiling, regretting she had come to find Lu Mian.

She still held the cake in her hand; would Lu Mian think she had come to apologize?

She couldn’t swallow her pride to do that.

Besides, she didn’t feel she had done anything to wrong Lu Mian.

Wang Xintong hesitated for a moment, thinking that if she just left, it would seem as if she couldn’t face Lu Mian.

So, she simply took a deep breath and went straight in.

But, as she entered the room, she only felt a wave of cold air.

When her gaze fell upon the two people in the room, the cake in her hand also fell to the ground.

Cream mixed with fluffy bread, a mess on the ground.

“…” Wang Xintong was momentarily at a loss for words, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty, she asked with difficulty, “Yingying, what, what are you doing?”

The scene before her was shocking and bewilderingaEUR”

Hua Ying held a dagger, trapping Lu Mian in a chair.

The dagger shone with a leisurely cold light; a slight deviation could end Lu Mian’s life.

Meanwhile, Lu Mian, whose fate was in someone else’s hands, sat nonchalantly on the chair, calmly practicing calligraphy with a brush in hand.

Wang Xintong wanted to say they were joking; after all, with Lu Mian so calm, if she were truly threatened, she couldn’t possibly be in this state.

But the menacing aura emanating from Hua Ying made it impossible for her to deceive herself.

Hua Ying did not pay much attention to Wang Xintong, even though her actions were laid bare, she didn’t care.

All she had to do now was take Lu Mian away and complete the task the gentleman had given, not caring about anyone else, least of all how others saw her.

“Doctor Wang,” Hua Ying’s dagger inched closer to Lu Mian’s neck by a fraction, “Your timing is unfortunate; we’re busy.”
