The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 115: Chapter 114 This is Not a Reason for Your Favoritism

Lu Mian curled the corners of her mouth: “…”

What’s with this déjà vu of a charity event?

But Shouhao and Panghai didn’t care about that. Seeing Lu Xinnuan’s rapidly changing and earth-shattering emotions, they felt extremely satisfied.

They weren’t fools. They clearly remembered the disdainful look Lu Xinnuan had given them before!

Who was looking down on whom here?

They were just as low-key as Brother Mian!

The combined attack from these three left Lu Xinnuan completely unable to cope.

Her emotions collapsed in disarray. Her originally delicate and pretty face was now awkward, twitching, contorted, and crumbling, mixed with jealousy, resentment, grudges, and unwillingness.

She almost screamed in a heart-wrenching way, “Lu Mian, you are really going too far! You are taking revenge on me, you are definitely taking revenge on me!”

Lu Mian would rather give all the money to unrelated people than share any with her family. It was clear how poisonous and hateful she was towards their family.

“Taking revenge on you? Are you even on the same level as my Brother Mian?”

“My Brother Mian doesn’t care about you at all, okay!”

Lu Xinnuan bit her lip so hard she almost drew blood, as she accused Lu Mian with words that seemed to be soaked in tears.

“You hate me, fine, but why treat mom like this? Don’t you know how hard it’s been for her?”

“Oh, spare me the white lotus act. You talk as if it’s so noble. If Brother Mian gave the money to your biased mom, what’s the difference from giving it to you? In the end, you just want to gain without paying. You’re always thinking about how to freeload!”

“You…” She had never been humiliated like this before, never.

She had always been the good student in the eyes of her teachers, the well-behaved daughter in her parents’ hearts, surrounded by countless halos and praises.

No one dared to treat her like this.

But everything changed since Lu Mian returned.

“Lu Mian.” Lu Xinnuan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Her eyes, tainted with resentment, darkly fixed on Lu Mian as she spoke coldly, “Letting you give some money to the family, what big deal is that? Don’t forget, you owe it to mom, and you owe me too!”

Shouhao and Panghai: ???

Has this girl lost her mind?

—

In the chess academy’s hall.

The competitors were gathered around the big screen, watching four-year-old Lu Mian play chess frame by frame.

The match was so exciting that not only did they not want to fast forward, they even slowed down the playback several times.

While watching, they had to cover their hearts and exclaim: How cute and beautiful little Lu Mian was!

She looked like a doll carved out of a mold, with two little braids and big round black eyes beneath her neat bangs, and her chubby little face, so tempting to pinch.

Yet there was a certain charm of contrast about her. She was clearly a baby, but she acted like a grave and proper old professor.

On the other hand, the old man sitting opposite, wearing a veteran’s vest and fanning himself with a palm fan, was casual and carefree. Losing a game did not matter to him; he could still laugh and say “Let the storm come more intense.”

It was lively around the big screen.

Su Qinghe had watched it many times and didn’t join the youngsters’ enthusiasm. Passing through the crowd, he found Fu Man in the spectator seats.

He also had complaints about this biased mother.

Seeing her crying miserably, he thought there must be some hidden story.

Su Qinghe walked slowly over with his cane and handed her a tissue.

“Madam Lu, wipe away your tears.”

“Thank you, Elder Su.”

“I have a connection with Mianmian, no need to thank me.” He paused, then sat down beside her, sighing, “In life, it’s hard to be fair. Even with twins, one subconsciously prefers the one who smiles and speaks sweetly. Mianmian’s introversion is her natural disposition, but that’s no excuse for your favoritism.”

Fu Man looked up, pained, “Elder Su, actually… I have my difficulties too.”
