Chapter 122: Chapter 121: What is the Relationship Between the Two of Them?
Xiao Qimo had just returned from out of town today.
The first thing he did after coming back was to order at MM Ji Restaurant, and coincidentally ran into Lu Mian and her two male former desk mates.
His gaze fell upon the girl, his brow furrowing slightly for a moment, then he understood.
The little rascal was drinking again!
Why was she drinking?
Did these two guys force her to drink?
Or were they secretly planning to do something to Lu Mian?
With these thoughts, his gloomy, ice-cold handsome face grew darker. Rolling up his shirt sleeves, he quickly approached Lu Mian in large strides.
His eyes were deep, his gaze intense, as if they were lasers scanning over Guo Zihao and Yuan Hao.
The originally excited Fat Hao and Shouhao quickly stood straight, greeting him sheepishly.
“Director Qimo, hello!”
Director Qimo’s gaze… was so terrifying!
Xiao Qimo didn’t respond to them, his attention focused solely on Lu Mian.
In just a moment, he had sized her up completely and, noticing nothing abnormal, he felt slightly relieved.
Although, generally, no one could do anything to her.
Lu Mian noticed Xiao Qimo’s gaze, her half-open eyes slowly lifting in a careless and languid manner, “Oh, it’s you.”
She stood up straight, still with a stern academic expression on her face.
The two brothers shuddered, growing increasingly frightened.
Could it be that Brother Mian would also start lecturing Director Qimo? Oh, my gosh, the mere thought was unimaginable!
Brother Mian, please come to your senses!
Then, in their anxious state, they soon heard Lu Mian speak in a cold and solemn tone, “You’re late, my class is over.”
Fat Hao and Shouhao: “…”
It’s over, Brother Mian is spouting nonsense again!
This is Director Qimo!
The director who strikes fear into everyone!
They could already envision tomorrow’s school bulletin stating: “Lu Mian, drunk, provokes the guidance director, recorded for a demerit. Guo Zihao and Yuan Hao accompanied drinking, warned for a penalty.”
Their heads hung even lower.
Xiao Qimo pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze shifting to the two brothers, his voice extremely cold, “You drank?”
“Director Qimo, we only had a little…”
“Did you encourage her to drink?”
“…Yes, because something happened today, we wanted Brother Mian… Lu Mian to let off some steam, that’s why we urged her to drink…”
They truly had their own difficulties that they couldn’t express.
Who would believe it, a person drunk on alcohol actually forced them to study maths for two hours!
“What… happened to her?” Xiao Qimo sensed something.
Just as the brothers were about to speak, a stern voice intervened from the side.
“She won a Go competition and secured twenty million. Her younger sister, out of jealousy, revealed the incident of her winning a valuable snuff bottle when she was four. It was intended to frame her, but instead, it established Lu Mian as a legend. Her younger sister flew into a rage out of humiliation, her mother was biased, eventually leading to Lu Mian cutting ties with the Lu Family.”
Yuren leaned against the cash register, recounting today’s events. Although his tone was calm and steady, the occasional cold glint that flashed through his narrow eyes made it difficult to gauge his thoughts.
He wasn’t hiding anything, because such matters were easy to investigate; they couldn’t be kept secret.
Besides… this man was from the Xiao Family of Jinjing.
After hearing Yuren, Xiao Qimo naturally turned his gaze towards him, recognizing the man he had seen before and remembered, the owner of MM Ji Restaurant.
His name was unique, Yuren.
How did he know everything so clearly?
At this moment, what identity did he represent?
What was the relationship between Lu Mian and him?
