The Master's Mask Unveiled Again Chapter 101 - 100 Do you think I care about that?

Chapter 101: Chapter 100 Do you think I care about that?

Lu Mian’s fingers continued to flip the tissue packet lightly in her hand.

Her other hand rested in her school uniform pocket as she slightly lowered her long eyelashes to gaze at her toes, not even bothering to look up at the approaching person.

With a cold and mischievous curve on her lips, she drew out the end of her words, lightly exhaling three syllables.

“Looking for trouble?”

Su Jue’s heart skipped a beat.

The pain in his arm and abdon was still so pronounced, and the mory of being beaten up yesterday was fresh in his mind; he had no doubt that Lu Mian was not joking with that remark.

Whenever he saw Lu Mian, she always had this arrogant and unrestrained deanor, as if no one else mattered.

But he couldn’t let go, couldn’t give up, couldn’t learn his lesson.

So students noticed them and ran off with gossipy giggles, whispering from a distance.

“Why is Su Shao here to find Lu Mian again?”

“I’ll bet a pack of spicy strips that Su Shao must have fallen for Lu Mian!”

“Then I’ll bet ten packs of spicy strips that Su Shao likes Lu Xinnuan. I heard that their two families are about to make it official!”

“Lu Mian is from the Lu Family too, so it makes no difference to Su Shao whom he likes. But it seems like Lu Mian doesn’t really care about him…”

Their whispers didn’t catch Lu Mian’s attention but were overheard by Bai Fangfei first.

“Had enough talk?” Bai Fangfei huffed as she shooed people away, shooting a cold glare in Lu Mian’s direction before storming back to the classroom.

Lu Mian also wanted to head back to the classroom, but Su Jue blocked her way.

“Lu Mian, I’ve already heard from my grandfather that it’s true you won a snuff bottle by playing Go when you were little; you didn’t lie,” he spoke quickly, afraid Lu Mian would walk away. “I don’t an anything else; my grandfather is hosting a Go tournant. If you participate, you can prove it to your parents in person, and they will no longer misunderstand you!”

After all that talk, Lu Mian didn’t quite understand what Su Jue ant.

Don’t tell her that Su Jue had a change of heart and wanted to help her reclaim her reputation in the Lu Family. She didn’t believe it, nor did she care.

“Lu Mian, this is an opportunity!” Su Jue stressed.

Lu Mian found it annoying. She tossed the tissue packet into the air, turned her head, and laughed, “You think I care about that?”

As she spoke, the tissue packet landed firmly back in her palm, and she continued to toss it playfully.

“What do you care about then? They are your family!” Su Jue paused for a mont, looked down as if deciding on sothing, then divulged, “The winner of this Go competition will receive a prize of twenty million yuan!”

Twenty million…

Lu Mian squinted her eyes, “I wasn’t aware the Su Family had beco so generous all of a sudden?”

“That twenty million is my sponsorship, is that a problem?” He straightened up, “I told you before, I’ve made over twenty million in stocks. A few days ago, I invested again, so I’m using the remaining twenty million as the prize for my grandfather’s Go tournant. That’s not a big deal, is it!”

“Oh, you’ve made another investnt?” This ti, Lu Mian engaged in a longer conversation with him.

Su Jue finally regained his male pride and sounded proud and self-assured.

“Yes, I should be able to make another profit this ti. So, twenty million isn’t much for . If you’re interested, I can also get you into stock trading. Lu Xinnuan also invested three thousand with before!”

“Oh…” Lu Mian’s eyes, now narrow almond shapes, flashed an unknowable dark gleam as she curiously asked him, “Which stock did you invest in?”

Su Jue, unguarded, blurted it out. He believed Lu Mian didn’t understand these things; after all, stock trading was complicated, and he had quite a ti teaching it to Lu Xinnuan.

As he recited the string of digital codes, Lu Mian clenched the tissue packet in her hand, her mischievous smile tinged with rare sincerity.

She gave a thumbs up, mockingly saying, “Su Jue, you’re really sothing.”

At her words, Su Jue’s chest swelled with a fleeting sense of elation.

Was Lu Mian… praising him?

Before he could ponder it, the girl had already brushed past him, leaving only the light and pleasant echo of her voice hanging in the air.

“I’ll participate in the Go tournant, so wait for it!”
