The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 736 - Chapter 736 Chapter 735 You Deserve Better Love

Chapter 736: Chapter 735: You Deserve Better Love Chapter 736: Chapter 735: You Deserve Better Love Lu Mian saw the lifeless Dr. Hua.

This pillar of the Life Science Institute, now looked dispirited and lost, evoking sympathy in those who saw him.

“Dr. Hua?” The moment Lu Mian first saw him in this state, she knew she wouldn’t get anything out of him, but she couldn’t help coming to see for herself.

Dr. Hua’s gaze was void of any fluctuation.

“Forget it.” Lu Mian gave up and decided she would look into it herself.

It’s just that her parents were no longer in Wucheng, and she didn’t know where they had gone.

She could no longer obtain a sample to verify whether what Hua Ying had said was true or false.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Mian was somewhat absent-minded.

Xiao Qimo, making a connection with Dr. Hua’s specialty, furrowed his brows and asked, “What did you need him for?”

“Well, I had a test done before. I was kidnapped before I could get the results. When I came back, Dr. Hua was not in the country, and I couldn’t get in touch with him.”

“A paternity test?” Xiao Qimo easily guessed.

Lu Mian laughed at herself mockingly, “I’m pretty ridiculous, aren’t I?”

Who keeps suspecting they’re not their biological parents and goes as far as to take action, secretly taking a paternity test.

Xiao Qimo felt sorry for her, not finding her ridiculous in the slightest, but rather very supportive of her.

“I hope they are not your biological parents, you deserve better love. Mianmian, you have to get to the bottom of this, okay?”

Even if she pretended to be strong, she too had an unfortunate childhood.

Now, the only ones who could heal her childhood were her real kin.

Xiao Qimo sincerely hoped that Lu Zhizhai and Fu Man were not Lu Mian’s biological parents.

Lu Mian half-jokingly shook her head, “Then if they really aren’t, wouldn’t that mean I still have to look for my real parents? If that’s the case, wouldn’t you have to face a few more challenges…”

Xiao Qimo’s smile stiffened for a moment.

He had dug a hole for himself!

Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo returned to Wucheng.

With Wucheng not being too dangerous, Xiao Qimo let Mo Fan go back.

Mo Fan was quite reluctant to leave before his departure, silently setting himself a goal that the next time he saw Miss Lu, he must become stronger, he must win against Miss Lu at least once!

There was no shortage of matters in Wucheng.

Although not explosive like a kidnapping case, there were plenty related to Lu Mian. The school had a pile of issues waiting for her, and Lu Mian spent two days like a salted fish on her comfortable bed before finally making a trip to school.

By then, her fever had much improved; her body showed no signs of adverse reaction.

She sighed with relief, having somehow managed to deceive Director Qi.

That afternoon, Lu Mian, dressed casually, walked around the school, her attire and appearance eye-catching enough.

It happened to be the end of the school day, and many students recognized her, coming to the realization that Lu Mian hadn’t left Kunpeng School. The students’ conversations quickly shifted to this notable figure with many of them talking about her.

Lu Mian pulled down her hoodie’s cap and quickly walked towards the senior grades.

“Mianmian?”

It wasn’t until she heard this affectionate, loud yet somewhat uncertain call that she stopped in her tracks. Following the voice, she saw two boys, one fat and one thin, running towards her excitedly.

The heavier one seemed to make the ground tremble with each step.

“Mianmian, it really is you, you’re finally back!” the chubbier one exclaimed, wiping away tears of excitement.

He thought he was longing too much and that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

As the three of them chatted by the roadside, many people who recognized them cast envious glances at Shouhao and his slim friend.

Shouhao counted on his fingers, muttering under his breath, “You left in January, and now it’s the end of March before you’ve come back. Mianmian, you’ve been gone for over two months.”

This remark was filled with such a sense of grievance that it made Lu Mian feel a twinge of guilt inside, “But I am back now, aren’t I?”

“Mianmian, you’ve gained weight, and your hair has grown,” said Shouhao honestly. Although saying a girl has gained weight isn’t usually a compliment, for Lu Mian, who was so thin, gaining a bit of weight made her look even better.

Lu Mian smiled slightly and sincerely complimented him back, “You’ve gained weight too.”

“…” His emotional intelligence still showed no signs of progress.

Shouhao pinched the flesh on his belly, Oh man! Who doesn’t gain weight over the New Year?

Shouhao couldn’t help but laugh, “Mianmian, stop standing there. Let’s get some crawfish and barbecue going!

“Right, right, right.” Shouhao finally caught on, “Mianmian, you’re here to pick us up after school, aren’t you?!”

“Let’s go eat; my treat! Today we definitely must…” Shouhao opened his mouth but quickly realized that he couldn’t say “drink until we drop,” so he quickly changed his tone, “We strive not to leave until we can’t eat anymore!”

The two brothers truly missed Lu Mian, the anticipation clear in their eyes. Lu Mian felt guilty once more and apologized, “I didn’t come for you guys.”

The brothers felt as if the sky had collapsed, feeling hurt.

“I came to pick up Yuanyuan after school,” Lu Mian explained.

“…”

The brothers noticed that Lu Mian’s way of speaking had become gentler than before and now carried a bit more of a girl’s charm.

Could it be that during the two months outside of Wucheng, her love life had taken a qualitative leap?

In any case, compared to the domineering and invincible Mianmian of the past, she was now much more personable.

Losing out to Sui Yuan, the brothers felt a sense of balance in their hearts.

It wasn’t a loss at all; who didn’t know Yuanyuan’s position in Mianmian’s heart.

Lu Mian didn’t want to see them disappointed and said she would be attending school tomorrow, which finally made the brothers happy.

After parting ways with them, Lu Mian headed straight for the senior third-year class.

It was common for the senior high to end school a bit later, and even after school, many students would stay for self-study to sprint for the upcoming college entrance exam that was a little over two months away.

Lu Mian didn’t go in to disturb but stood quietly in the corridor waiting.

Occasionally, she peered through the window, and there she would see Sui Yuan sitting at her desk, taking notes attentively and wracking her brains on problems, the very picture of a diligent student.

The setting sun’s afterglow cast a golden hue on Little Baldy’s desk, warm and gentle.

Lu Mian felt that this moment was truly beautiful.

Lu Mian deliberately didn’t make much noise, but Su Jue, sitting at the back of the classroom, still spotted her.

He lifted his head from a pile of textbooks, his heart thumping upon the sight. He abruptly turned toward the back door outside.

There, the pretty and delicate girl leaned casually against the railing, quietly and beautifully present.

Having not seen her for so long, Su Jue found he didn’t even have the courage to look at her directly anymore.

Perhaps it was because he stole glances too often, Lu Mian slightly turned her head and caught sight of Su Jue.

She was clear about grudges and remembered both the bad and the good about Su Jue.

Zhang Yanyan had mentioned Su Jue had once helped Yuanyuan out of a tight spot.

For that reason alone, Lu Mian reined in her own sharpness and gave Su Jue a faint smile, one that suggested all past grievances were now water under the bridge.
