The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 318 - 317: Director Qi is ours, not for loan!

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Director Qi is ours, not for loan!

Bai Fangfei stiffened, tears streaming down her face nonstop. Indeed, these past days she had gone mad searching for Cang Xue, sending many private messages to Cang Xue’s account backstage.

Now, Lu Mian laid these things bare before her face, automatically rendering all her previous accusations as unreasonable fuss.

Lu Mian let out a light chuckle, “Your standing me up is no big deal, I don’t enjoy collaborating with your family, and I am not wrong in that. So, why the reluctance? Whether or not I’ve been talking nonsense with Ya Qing, you know it in your heart. I also gave you a chance before, to clear things up with your family, but you chose not to.”

Now, the Bai Family’s only support, the master from Chixia Sect in Jinjing, had completely abandoned them.

They were at their wit’s end.

Bai Fangfei staggered, raising her hand to dry her tears, with a gloomy and threatening shimmer flickering at the bottom of her eyes.

...

“I’ve lost. From the beginning, the Bai Family never stood a chance.”

She finally accepted the outcome, pushed through the crowd, and ran out frantically.

The classmates looked at each other, maybe Bai Fangfei had made a small mistake at first, but what she really did wrong was: to cover a small mistake with a bigger one for the sake of face and vanity, and then cover all of that with an even greater mistake.

The bottom line was that she couldn’t face her own mistakes.

The Bai Family had thus declined.

Lu Mian felt no pressure at heart; for every action, there is a reaction, and the Bai Family was not truly innocent.

It was quiet in the private room for a while until the topic of Cang Xue’s voice acting came up again, and the atmosphere became slightly more lively.

Then, Lu Mian realized that this group of classmates were trying to get to Ya Qing through her!

——

Right after Bai Fangfei bolted out, she happened to run into a waiter who had prepared the juice for their private room.

She remembered, it was Yuan Hao who had ordered it for Lu Mian.

Thinking about how cautious Guo Zihao and Yuan Hao were about not letting Lu Mian drink alcohol, an idea surged in Bai Fangfei’s heart.

With no other options left, to save the Bai Family, she had to take a dangerous risk!

Her eyes turned darker. Deep within her pupils, poison was concocted.

——

Inside the private room, Lu Mian did not expect Gu Jingyi to come over and talk to her.

She didn’t have much to do with this girl with twin ponytails, and she sat there with an indifferent attitude, only listening to Gu Jingyi speak on her own.

“Lu Mian, I confessed to Director Qi today.”

Lu Mian didn’t quite understand why she had to come over and tell her this specifically when she just wanted some quiet.

Gu Jingyi looked down, seemingly heartbroken, “Director Qi rejected me.”

“…” Lu Mian took a sip of the juice.

“Do you know what he said? He said I couldn’t even compare to a single strand of your hair.” Gu Jingyi probably hadn’t suffered such a blow before, or maybe it was her first time being infatuated, but either way, she couldn’t accept such an answer, feeling a blow to her self-esteem.

Lu Mian subconsciously touched her short hair.

Gu Jingyi talked and talked and finally got to the point, “Lu Mian, do you like Director Qi?”

“Ah?”

“If not, why would he suddenly bring you up?” Gu Jingyi became somewhat emotional, her eyes reddening, “Did you already confess to Director Qi, and that’s why he compared me to you?”

“…” Lu Mian thought this girl’s thought process was fairly odd, she gestured for a pause, speaking calmly, “Sorry, our school doesn’t allow early romance.”

Gu Jingyi bit her lip, feeling that Lu Mian was too nonchalant, making herself seem unreasonable.

She pouted, “In our school, the students who study well can date! Since you don’t have a chance with Director Qi, could you help me get together with him? I really like him a lot! The kind where it’s ‘love at first sight and never look back’!”

Lu Mian: …

Indeed, Director Qi had that gift that made people fall in love at first sight; he could make a swarm of girls fall head over heels for him, without saying a word, just with his looks.

There must be other girls at Kunpeng High School who secretly had a crush on him, too, just not as brazenly as Gu Jingyi.

But she thought this girl had too much of a romance brain, and was way too unrealistic.

However, seeing the undisguised adoration and affection in the other person’s eyes, she actually felt a tinge of envy before…she resolutely and decisively turned down her request.

Help her matchmake Gu Jingyi with Director Qi?

Crazy.

“Sorry, but Director Qi is ours, not for loan!”

Lu Mian took a few more sips of her juice, placed the cup on the table, and got up to leave, looking cool and detached.

Before leaving, she visited the restroom.

After walking a few steps, she felt her heart speed up a bit.

The central air conditioning pumped out the heat relentlessly; she wiped the sweat from her forehead, clasped her hands behind her back, and stepped into the restroom.

Soon after, there was the sound of shuffling footsteps outside the restroom.

Before she could dry her hands, the person rushed in—it was fortunate that this was an independent wash basin, not the women’s toilet, or it definitely would have caused a sensation.

As soon as the person saw Lu Mian, they asked directly, “Are you Lu Mian?”

Reflecting off the mirror, Lu Mian narrowed her eyes, the stunningly beautiful and cool face carried a touch of sternness and seriousness. She turned around slowly, sizing up the row of six people in front of her.

The person compared her with a photo; there was no mistake, it was her. According to the client’s instructions, they were here to kidnap Lu Mian today. The client had said that she shouldn’t drink alcohol, so they had mixed some fruit wine into her juice.

What was left was for them to just take her away.

Damn, this was an easy job.

“I am Lu Mian,” she said with a smile, answering their question. Then she snapped her fingers and spoke seriously, “Now it’s my turn to ask you a question.”

The thugs were used to this kind of thing—it was just the usual question about who sent them, wasn’t it?

They were professionals, who would never reveal their client’s information.

However, under their intense gaze, Lu Mian, hands behind her back, asked bewilderingly, “Which class are you from?”

She didn’t recognize them.

They weren’t her students.

A series of question marks simultaneously appeared on the foreheads of the six people facing her.

Did they not look like thugs at all?

“Which class? We’re from Ye Family’s class!” Ye Wen, the one who can fight.

Lu Mian came to an understanding and nodded, “Follow me, this place is too cramped.”

This was the first time the thugs encountered such a situation: the other party was unhurried and even exuded a vague aura of an educator. Couldn’t she see that she was about to be kidnapped?

And it was a brutal kind!

“Don’t just stand there, not one less!”

Lu Mian led the way out front, walking out of the KTV.

The thugs looked at each other, a bit dumbfounded.

This plot was completely different from what they had imagined! Where had they seen such a calm girl before?

In the end, they still followed her out.

If they had to do it, they would do it—a skinny little girl, and one who had drunk alcohol, couldn’t escape their clutches anyway.

Moreover, it was better that she took the initiative to leave the KTV, saving them the trouble of having to take action.

This money was indeed easy to earn!
