The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 748 - Chapter 748 Chapter 747 This is really nothing big

Chapter 748: Chapter 747 This is really nothing big! Chapter 748: Chapter 747 This is really nothing big! “You wouldn’t believe it, but my future granddaughter-in-law is quite impressive; she’s exceptionally good at studying, got guaranteed admission as a freshman, and she’s also really talented in physics. I feel like she and my grandson are a match made in heaven,” the grandfather boasted.

“This…” Meng Zhenqing, upon hearing him speak so earnestly, believed it to be true.

That young man actually found a girlfriend before his grandson?

Xiao Jianli: “I haven’t met the girl yet, but my daughter-in-law says she’s really pretty.”

Meng Zhenqing: …Heartache. His grandson really was a disappointment, losing out to an orphan.

Xiao Jianli: “She can cook too!”

Meng Zhenqing: …

So Mr. Xiao, you didn’t just happen to pass by today, did you…

As Meng Zhenqing listened to Xiao Jianli praising his future granddaughter-in-law to the skies, he casually asked, “Which school did she get guaranteed admission to?”

Xiao Jianli spoke with certainty, “She can choose any school she wants, she’s thinking about Qing University, the same school as my grandson.”

The relationship must be quite good, then.

Meng Zhenqing: …That’s a dagger to the heart.

“Right, Old Meng, I’m going to meet my future granddaughter-in-law for the first time. What kind of gift should I give her? Do little girls prefer teddy bears or dolls?”

“Teddy bear, I guess. Definitely not antiques, little girls don’t like those.”

Xiao Jianli thought for a moment, “Okay, I’ll order the largest size for her then.”

“…” Meng Zhenqing mustered a smile, “Alright, once you’re more familiar, bring your grandson and future granddaughter-in-law over to hang out!”

“Of course!”

That evening, upon returning home, Lu Mian received a call from Lu Xi before she even walked through the door.

The other party, incredibly anxious, was the first to speak, “Mianmian, why did you turn down the guaranteed admission? Principal Zhang called me today; it was so shocking.”

Lu Mian wondered why Principal Zhang had even told her elder brother, it wasn’t a big deal!

“It’s fine, I can just take the exams again.”

Lu Xi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “I know you’re great, but now that the opportunity is right in front of you, why not take it? Besides, aren’t you pretty good at physics? Choosing a major in physics isn’t a bad idea.”

Lu Mian shook her head, refusing, and Lu Xi asked if she wanted to consider Beijing University.

Lu Mian politely declined.

She did not continue the topic but instead asked Lu Xi about the design competition; he shared that it was design time and everything was normal.

Lu Mian then hung up the phone, reassured.

Just then, an unread email appeared in her inbox. Lu Mian casually clicked it open, finding a schedule for “Extreme Brain” and a contract from Principal Zhang.

Principal Zhang said the contract could wait, there was a challenge match tomorrow, she could give it a try.

The next morning, Xiao Qimo accompanied Lu Mian to school.

The weather wasn’t good, so he drove.

Before getting into the car, Lu Mian noticed the car was slightly damp. As she opened the door and sat down, she asked, “Did you just go out?”

Xiao Qimo motioned her to look at the back seat, “I bought you breakfast, eat it while it’s hot.”

Lu Mian was instantly warmed.

“Thank you.”

Then she noticed a box next to the breakfast and suddenly remembered, “Ah, it’s something Sikong gave me.”

“You left it in Ye Jinwen’s car the other night; he brought it to me.” Xiao Qimo paused, “I haven’t opened it.”

“Oh.”

Lu Mian picked up the breakfast, placed the box on her lap, not rushing to open it.

She didn’t need to look closer; Sikong had sent her all the matching bookmarks, probably as a sign of giving up.

It was rather comforting.

Xiao Qimo drove, his peripheral vision constantly on Lu Mian, noticing she wasn’t in a hurry to open the box, feeling a mix of anxiety and anticipation.

Lu Mian leisurely ate her breakfast.

School arrived quickly.

The place they lived was not far from the school, just separated by one street. It would take only two minutes to get there by car.

Xiao Qimo simply parked the car on a roadside parking spot.

“Take your time with your food, go in after you finish eating.”

Lu Mian took a bite of the steamed bun: “Then why didn’t we just drive around in circles?”

With the two of them parked so conspicuously here, and so many students passing back and forth, wouldn’t they be easily noticed?

It wasn’t that they couldn’t be seen by others, it just seemed like it would cause Teacher Ding a huge mental trauma.

“It’s all the same,” Xiao Qimo not only didn’t drive in circles but also silently lowered the car window a bit, claiming it was for ventilation.

Students passed by from time to time, glancing curiously inside.

Lu Mian could only lower her head even more.

And Xiao Qimo, as if doing it on purpose, leaned towards her after unbuckling his seatbelt.

Qi, Qimo, what are you doing?

Shut up!

You are the school’s head of discipline!

Lu Mian clutched the steamed bun in her hand nervously.

Just as Xiao Qimo’s face was getting closer to hers, the man suddenly turned, reaching over to open the glove compartment in front of the passenger side and let out a light chuckle.

“Here are your test papers; I’ve brought them over for you.”

Lu Mian: …

“These are all from their university exams, I’ve also found some student notes, they’re all here.”

Xiao Qimo took a stack of papers out of the drawer, handing them over to Lu Mian leisurely, his eyes carrying a hint of triumph from a successful prank.

Lu Mian mentally cursed him as an old fox.

She quickly took a few more bites of the bun and finished off the soy milk, ending her breakfast time.

Until the very end, she did not open that box.

Xiao Qimo looked on eagerly.

“Oh, right.” Holding the box and carrying the test papers, Lu Mian remembered something just before getting out of the car, and Xiao Qimo blinked.

Is she going to open it?

Let this master see if there are any suspicious items inside!

Lu Mian smiled slightly, “I’m going to be on a show this afternoon, you can turn on the TV and watch.”

On a show?

Xiao Qimo looked puzzled, furrowing his brows: “What kind of show? Which TV station? Are there more boys or girls? Is it national?”

“…”

“It’s just a satellite program launched by Wucheng Television Station, they asked me to challenge them on short notice, you’ll find out when you watch.”

“…”

Xiao Qimo adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, feeling even more concerned.

Doesn’t that mean the whole country can see her?

After getting out of the car, Lu Mian blended into the crowd of students and swiftly entered the campus.

Today’s campus was buzzing with a rumor that Lu Mian’s guaranteed admission had been revoked.

Everyone was asking why, and there were all sorts of speculations.

But the two most credible theories were:

The first was that she had offended both Beijing University and Qing University, top academic institutions, and they did not want her, she was blacklisted.

The second was that she refused to graduate early and leave because she wanted to continue her campus romance with Director Qi to the end.

The rumors spread and actually seemed plausible, causing quite a stir and shock among people.

Lu Mian didn’t hear their private discussions and went straight to Class One of the senior year with the papers.
