Chapter 906: Chapter 905: Grandpa Mo Takes Action!
Fu Man reached across the table, desperately clawing at the air in Lu Mian’s direction.
The harder she tried to grasp at sothing, the farther it slipped away.
It was like digging through a trash bin just to find that winning lottery ticket, only to realize… it had expired.
The crushing sense of disappointnt, the extre emotional crash, drove Fu Man to lose control several tis.
But when Fu Man t Lu Mian’s knowing gaze, her heart suddenly stopped beating.
“Heh.” Lu Mian chuckled lightly, her slender fingers tapping on the tabletop as she lazily spoke, “Uncle wasn’t wrong. It’s true.”
Fu Yu stared at Lu Mian in shock.
Lu Mian tilted her head slightly, “I took hair and nail samples from the two of you and conducted a paternity test. There’s not a single drop of blood relation between us.”
!!!
Lu Mian’s words were equivalent to a seal, severing all ties between them.
Whether on the legal level or the bloodline level, their connection was completely, cleanly cut.
Upon hearing this result, Lu Zhizhai suddenly felt the knot in his heart, which had been there for years, untangle.
Fu Man collapsed weakly into a chair, her spirit gone, along with her entire world.
“Mianmian, you knew all along?”
Fu Yu had been cautiously guarding this secret, afraid of hurting Lu Mian, only to realize she had already conducted the paternity test herself.
Lu Mian smiled, “Not too early—found out a few months ago.”
“Then you…” Fu Yu seed to realize sothing, maybe Mianmian hadn’t told him because she didn’t want their relationship to grow distant.
Just like he didn’t want to bring it up either, not wanting things to beco estranged with Mianmian.
Because once spoken aloud, their uncle-niece relationship would hit a dead end.
Seeing Fu Man still unwilling to believe, Lu Mian laughed, “Mr. Lu, Ms. Fu, if you still don’t believe it, we can conduct another test.”
Fu Man’s head buzzed; such confident words completely snapped the string holding her together.
The only proof, the only “mother-daughter relationship” she could rely on—gone.
Lu Xinnuan watched her parents, and then Lu Mian, with a mix of dumbfoundedness, sudden joy, and sudden worry.
Joy because she was now undoubtedly the family’s only daughter.
Worry because Lu Mian might sever all ties with the Lu Family and never concern herself with them again.
Lu Mian regarded all this with indifference, or rather, she had been indifferent for a long ti.
“From now on, don’t appear in front of . I have nothing to do with you anymore.”
With that, she kicked away the chair and walked off without turning back.
Sparing them was her final gesture of rcy toward the Lu Family; all debts of nurturing and upbringing ended at that mont.
Yuren chased after her, “Mianmian, are you okay?”
“Mm, I’m fine.”
“Then why so serious…?”
Lu Mian stroked her chin, tilting her head and pausing thoughtfully, “I was just thinking about this embryo transplantation issue.”
——
In another private room.
Xiao Jianli casually contacted an old friend in his contacts list to join him for dinner at MM Ji Restaurant.
Xiao Qimo was distracted as he accompanied him.
With no outsiders present, he wasn’t exactly putting much effort into the situation.
Xiao Jianli poured tea for Kunyang. “Speaking of which, I have to say, our Mianmian is truly outstanding. This restaurant was opened by her. Her cooking—absolutely delicious!”
Kunyang nearly spat out his tea.
“Mianmian? Lu Mian?” The mont Kunyang saw Xiao Qimo, he knew exactly who Xiao Jianli ant by “Lu Mian.”
Xiao Jianli paused for a mont, “What? You don’t think she’s impressive?”
“No, no, it’s not that.” Kunyang certainly didn’t hold such an opinion; rather, he thought Lu Mian was incredibly remarkable.
Last ti he dined at MM Ji, it had entirely been thanks to Lu Mian’s reputation!
Xiao Jianli was thoroughly pleased with Kunyang’s reaction, and this ti, the core purpose of their conversation revolved around promoting his granddaughter-in-law.
Mianmian’s accomplishnts in chess, calligraphy, painting, entrepreneurship, and cooking surely deserved recognition in the music world.
Xiao Qimo distractedly poured tea until he received a ssage from Fu Yu.
[Mianmian left. Go check on her.]
“Grandpa, Master Kun, I have so matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave.” The refined man stood up imdiately and left without hesitation.
He had been waiting for this mont.
Instead of searching for Lu Mian, he headed straight to Suite No. 1.
On the way, he sent a ssage to Lu Mian.
[If I bullied the Lu Family, would you protect them?]
Lu Mian: [As long as you’re happy.]
Perfect!
Xiao Qimo thought this was simply the highlight of Lu Mian’s emotional intelligence—he loved that response!
As soon as he pushed the door open, his presence imdiately elicited gasps from the girls inside.
Of course, no one actually scread—the tension in his aura intimidated them into silence.
The unexpected entrance of a stranger left Lu Zhizhai and Fu Man still dazed from their earlier emotions.
But Lu Xinnuan recognized him instantly. “Director Qimo?! Why are you here?!”
She still had a deep impression of Director Qimo from Kunpeng High School—mostly because of his looks.
Xiao Qimo pulled out the chair where Lu Mian had been seated earlier, elegantly crossed his legs, and glanced around at the remaining people in the room, his expression cold.
“Allow to introduce myself. I am Lu Mian’s boyfriend, Xiao Qimo.”
Though still polite and cultured, he carried a deadly chill beneath his gentlemanly deanor.
Li Aiqi, having grown up in the Li Family, was naturally more sensitive to surnas. Upon hearing “Xiao,” she imdiately began to wonder whether he was from the Supre Clan’s Xiao Family or the disgraced Xiao branch.
Despite the identical pronunciation, the difference between the two was monuntal.
One thing was certain, however—both of those clans were imnsely powerful.
Lu Xinnuan was completely stunned. The school’s Director Qimo turned out to be Lu Mian’s boyfriend.
Wait!
A re school administrator with such profound background as Xiao Jianli’s grandson—what was his motive for being at the school?!
“Director Qimo, do you have so business here?”
“Settling scores.”
Xiao Qimo sat firmly and securely, tossing a notebook onto the table, ticulously tallying up every account with Fu Man and Lu Xinnuan.
“At age four, Lu Mian won a valuable snuff bottle in chess, and you accused her of theft.”
“At age six, Lu Xinnuan broke her arm, and you declared Lu Mian pushed her, exiling her to her uncle’s rural ho and suspending her studies for a year.”
“At age seven, Lu Mian’s sketchbook was destroyed by Lu Xinnuan, yet you blad her for destroying Lu Xinnuan’s paintbrushes.”
“At age seventeen, both Lu Mian and Lu Xinnuan were kidnapped, and you abandoned Lu Mian, leaving her to endure hellish torture, which caused lasting health issues.”
“At age nineteen, when Lu Mian returned, your antics beca even more outrageous.”
“You forced her to leave the Lu Family, gaslighted her into thinking she was inadequate, refused to attend her parent-teacher etings, accused her of having an affair with Officer Han, exploited her to boost your popularity, coerced her into relinquishing credit for saving my grandfather, accused her of plagiarizing Mi Lu…”
With each point Xiao Qimo listed, Fu Man’s heart constricted a little tighter, until it eventually twisted into a painful knot.
Xiao Qimo was not one to say much normally, but today was an exception.
He shed his gentlemanly deanor and suddenly let out an icy smile. “Mianmian is forgiving and tolerant, but I’m not. I’m petty—I can’t stand anyone bullying my wife.”
As he spoke, he slowly removed his gold-frad glasses and pulled a white silk handkerchief from his pocket, ticulously wiping the lenses.
It was the first ti Fu Yu had ever seen Xiao Qimo remove his glasses, and he suddenly held his breath.
Lu Xinnuan was practically trembling, stamring, “W-What are you trying to do?! Even if you’re Xiao Jianli’s grandson, you still have to abide by the law!”
Upon hearing “Xiao Jianli,” Li Aiqi didn’t even need to deliberate further—the na made everything crystal clear.
Xiao Qimo’s identity as “Jinjing’s Ink Lord” lood unmistakably large.
