The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 1275 - 1274: Extra: Is Grandpa Ye Going to Play Cupid?

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: Extra: Is Grandpa Ye Going to Play Cupid?

Ya Ling paused for a moment.

Today she was a bridesmaid, with long curly hair tied in a bundle by her ear, styled into an exquisite fishtail braid.

She unconsciously played with her hair, her red lips curling into a nonchalant smile, "What is there to escape from? I’ve long let it go."

"You..."

Shen Yixin, having been with Ye Lingxi for so many years, naturally understood her.

Xi Xi was just like that; when faced with things she couldn’t cope with, she would subconsciously flee.

Matters of the parents’ generation were already a done deal.

Falling in love with the son of the enemy who killed your father is indeed a scenario that carries immense moral and mental pressure.

But some feelings, even if Xi Xi tried to suppress them, were merely a cover-up.

"Xi Xi." Shen Yixin, always understanding, gently patted Ya Ling’s shoulder, persuading, "Your parents, up in heaven, would surely wish for your happiness."

Shen Yixin stopped at that, not continuing further.

"Alright, Fu Yu needs to take his medicine, I’ll go check on him."

Shen Yixin found an excuse and then got up to leave.

Ya Ling hid her unease, joking heartlessly, "There you go, watching him take medicine, still claiming not to be a little wife!"

Shen Yixin turned back to glare at her, blushing as she walked away.

Ya Ling casually picked up a wine glass from the table, smiling faintly, but suddenly downed a large gulp herself.

As she put down the glass, she caught someone watching her out of the corner of her eye.

She knew who it was but didn’t look over, instead calling out cheerfully to her friends at the table, "Keep drinking!"

Not far away, Ye Jinwen held a bouquet with a sense of loneliness.

Even if he caught every bouquet in the world, what could he do if Ya Ling was unwilling?

At another table.

Jing Pei and Kunyang, the two elder statesmen, withdrew their gazes thoughtfully.

"Old Ye."

Jing Pei had brought a folding fan today, waving it leisurely a couple of times, "Aren’t you going to help your grandson?"

Ye Zhongjing looked calm, his gaze shifting between Ye Jinwen and Ya Ling a couple of times.

Ye Jinwen held onto the bouquet, hearing the elders’ conversation, looking eagerly at Ye Zhongjing.

Ye Zhongjing remained expressionless, "What could I help with? Instead of causing trouble for them, I’d rather focus on more research projects."

His own grandson was less important than medical research.

Ye Jinwen: ???

Grandpa, if you continue being so heartless, do you believe I might leave you without descendants!

"Old Ye, don’t say that. Look at Xiao Qimo, who would have thought he’d marry so early? Back then, old Xiao put in a lot of effort." Jing Pei advised.

Ye Jinwen had a face full of resentment.

Exactly, exactly, look at other people’s grandpas, then look at his own.

How can there be such a big gap between grandpas!

Kunyang joined in, "Indeed, Old Ye, you’ve dedicated so many years to the medical field, investing so much energy, it’s time for a break. The future belongs to Jinwen, Mianmian, and the younger generation, so don’t overdo it."

"I’m doing just fine." As he spoke, Ye Zhongjing couldn’t help but cough a few times.

It wasn’t a light cough, but a deep one from the lungs, his face turning red.

"Look at you..."

"Grandpa, have some water to soothe your throat first."

Ye Jinwen quickly ran over to care for him.

Once Ye Zhongjing was better, he sighed, nodding, "Mianmian and the younger ones can indeed take up the mantle; I’m quite relieved, hahaha!"

Jing Pei could see it clearly now, that to Ye Zhongjing, even his own grandson wasn’t as important as Lu Mian.

Old Ye had dedicated all his life to medicine, and in the end, he had such a son and daughter-in-law?

Not only destroyed the Ye family’s foundation, but also broke up the children’s marriages, truly unscrupulous.

Jing Pei felt sorry for Ye Zhongjing but quickly remembered his son, daughter-in-law, and even his wife weren’t much better, bitterly deciding not to bring it up.

He waved his folding fan, smiling, "Old Ye, don’t you want to get closer to Mian girl?"

"How so?"

"Since Mian girl and Miss Ya are life-and-death friends, if your grandson marries Miss Ya, wouldn’t that bring the Ye family closer to Lu Mian?" Jing Pei said deliberately.

Ye Jinwen nodded rapidly, showing agreement.

If it meant winning back Ya Ling, he didn’t mind being a pawn, truly.

Ye Zhongjing stroked his chin, thinking this made perfect sense, "You’re right, I’ll catch up with old Xiao for some advice."

Jing Pei: ...

Kunyang: ...

——

The wedding banquet continued, and the video with Han Jin, Old Su, Su Luo, and Wucheng was ongoing on the other side.

Su Luo was acting as the commentator.

"Look, this is the wedding banquet hall, it’s not the same place as the wedding venue, but both are under Master Mo and Mianmian’s territory."

The chubby Shouhao and slim Shouhao gaped their mouths the whole time.

Forget Teacher Ding; even they felt they needed some Fast-acting Heart-saving Pills.

Who would have thought that the once bottom-ranked Mian brother from a year ago, sitting behind them, would rise to such a high position?

Originally, Mian brother had sent them an invitation, but they couldn’t come because they had to take the citywide exams.

Now that the exams were over, they finally had time for a video call.

"The people sitting over there are Lu Mian’s friends, many of whom have been on the news," Su Luo shifted the camera towards Feng Ting.

Chubby Shouhao and slim Shouhao maintained their semi-permanent shocked expressions, unable to utter a sound.

"How is Teacher Ding? Is he alright?" Su Luo asked with concern.

Chubby Shouhao and slim Shouhao searched around, "Teacher Ding is resting on the sofa."

The two lowered their voices, "Since Teacher Ding started taking the supplements Mian brother sent, his energy has been much better. He hasn’t fainted all day today."

"That’s really an improvement." Su Luo marveled.

"Of course, Teacher Ding was awarded City Excellent Teacher this year! The class also won several class awards, so there’s no way we could let Mian brother lose face!"

Su Luo nodded, "Lu Mian will be proud of you all, she definitely will..."

Han Jin and Old Su exchanged a smile, showing a sense of satisfaction on their faces.

"Old Su, Director Han."

As they were talking, Lu Xun and Yun Zhishu walked over, holding hands.

Old Su and Han Jin stood up to shake hands and greet them.

The toasting session was over, and now Lu Xun wanted to catch up with old friends.

He was an old acquaintance of Old Su’s, close enough that he gave the Yun family crest to Su Qinghe.

Lu Xun formally bowed to Old Su.

"Old Su, thank you for watching over Mianmian all these years silently. The grace shown by you and your wife to our Yun family will never be forgotten."

So many years had passed, but if it weren’t for Madam Su’s sacrifice back then, Lu Mian today wouldn’t exist.

Their entire family had already visited Madam Su’s grave, and from now on, they would go every year to pay their respects.

Su Qinghe stood up and helped Lu Xun up, laughing warmly, "If you still consider me a friend, don’t say such polite words. If I had known Mianmian’s identity earlier, you and the child could have been reunited sooner."

Yun Zhishu shook her head, "You’ve already done more than enough."

"When the Su Family was in Jinjing, the Yun Family took good care of us." Su Qinghe leaned on a cane, his face benevolent, "Kind people will receive good rewards. Even if not at the time, they will come someday later as a return; destiny has its way."

Lu Xun and Yun Zhishu exchanged a glance.

Han Jin added, "If Madam Su knew everything Lu Mian has done, she would certainly be very gratified. That girl, though she doesn’t say it, has quietly done so much good. Nearly all Guangming Schools in Z Country were founded by her."

As the Director of Education, Han Jin easily knew about these things.

"What? Founded schools?"

Lu Xun and Yun Zhishu, arm in arm, shared an identical look of astonishment.

There were things even they didn’t know?!
