Chapter 448 -447: Didn’t Take the Test, Not Necessary

Qiao Yaning knew that the matter had not been handled properly.

Taking a deep breath, she sincerely said to Lu Mian, “Sorry, it’s my fault.”

Qu Weiwei quickly followed suit, “Sorry, Lu Mian, at first we didn’t think it was yours; mainly because Fang Xilan was talking nonsense and even claimed you had the opportunity to commit the crime, which led me astray.”

Lu Mian didn’t say a word, she didn’t even give them a glance, and instead lazily played with her phone.

Xiao Qimo’s tone remained calm and steady.

“Those who chose to open the package earlier, step forward.”

The mentioned people all shuddered, no one dared to come forward.

They could all sense the sinister and cruel aura emanating from this man; stepping forward would surely spell their doom.

Xiao Qimo wasn’t surprised by this scene, nor was he going to make it difficult.

Fiddling with the phone in his hand, he said indifferently, “You are all here by my arrangement.

Since no one is admitting to it, then I’ll simply cancel my investment.

No problems with that, right?”

The consequence of cancelling the investment was that they would be thrown out of the hotel, left to wander the streets and would miss out on several days of training.

Moreover, who would dare to oppose such a powerful figure?

Those girls who hadn’t sided with Qiao Yaning began to point at the people opposite them, “It was them, her, and her, and her.”

“Very good.”

Xiao Qimo nodded his head, not missing a single one; among these people was Fang Xilan.

Seeing Xiao Qimo’s domineering demeanor, she felt a tremor of fear.

She didn’t dare to think about what might happen to her.

She turned her gaze directly toward Lu Mian, “Lu Mian, is this how you treat me?

You’re too selfish.

I thought of you as a friend, and this is how you treat your friends?”

“She never said she wanted to make friends.”

“Right from the start, she said she wasn’t here to make friends.”

Someone whispered a reminder, while Fang Xilan was nearly mad, yelling, “Lu Mian, you are so rich, why would you pick on a small fry like me?

What have I done to deserve this?

Didn’t you donate fifty million?

Didn’t you donate to many schools?

Then why don’t you sponsor me?

I told you from the start that I’m very poor, why won’t you help me?

If you have money and still won’t help me, what kind of philanthropist are you?”

Lu Mian was actually quite angry, but it was only because Xiao Qimo was there that she hadn’t unleashed her temper.

Xiao Qimo could see she was holding something back.

He walked up beside her, gently tousling her hair, “Good girl, don’t be angry.

You’re in a special period right now, prone to disturbances.

What if it leads to a tumor in the future?”

When he finished speaking, Xiao Huazun suddenly sneezed at the Xiao family residence.

Why did this situation seem so familiar?

The matter had escalated too much; Xiao Qimo was alerted along with Lu Mian being so angry.

Things were definitely not going to end so simply.

Fang Xilan was shouting to call the police for campus violence, yet she herself was extremely apprehensive and even more frightened.

But Qiao Yaning still called the police.

Xiao Qimo was not one to tolerate nonsense.

He gave the order: all who voted to open the package must leave immediately, their qualifications to participate in the training and the competition were revoked.

As for Tan Tong, because of her improper handling of the situation and her conciliatory attitude, she was fired on the spot.

As for the remaining people!

Xiao Qimo curled his lips coldly.

They had too much idle time, their minds not on their studies.

It seemed the environment was too comfortable, affecting their fighting spirit.

He immediately ordered the hotel to turn off the heating and air conditioning; they needed to struggle and work hard.

After handling these matters, he even asked for Lu Mian’s opinion.

Lu Mian felt it was fine and nodded in agreement.

The entire fate of the training class was casually held in their hands; by now, everyone understood that the investors weren’t there because of Xiu Qian.

They were all merely basking in Lu Mian’s light.

If Lu Mian wasn’t happy, no one else could hope to be.

However, their realization came too late.

They had already deeply offended Lu Mian, and it was only at this moment that they began to envy Zhang Yanyan…

Recently, Yulan Pavilion had turned off the air conditioning and heating.

Even breathing felt cold.

Feeling chilly, Lu Mian went straight to Zitan Pavilion to warm up and even entertained the idea of staying at Zitan Pavilion.

Because Jinjing’s winter was indeed a bit cold, and without heating, one had to wear very thick clothing.

Moreover, during class when they had to extend their arms, it made it all the more easy to get frostbitten hands and feet.

She was wrapped in a down jacket, with music playing from her phone, leisurely walking down the road.

Halfway there, she encountered two acquaintances head-on.

Shao Yunxuan and Fu Shuangshuang.

Recently, Fu Shuangshuang had been continuously staying at Yangfan Hotel to accompany Shao Yunxuan.

They didn’t open a new room; the suite Chu Kong had booked for Shao Yunxuan was more than sufficient.

Shao Yunxuan was also happy about this arrangement; she liked the feeling of being the center of attention.

The two were taking a stroll in the hotel.

It was Fu Shuangshuang who first spotted Lu Mian.

She patted Shao Yunxuan’s arm and squinted her eyes meaningfully.

Then the two of them walked towards Lu Mian.

Lu Mian’s eyes were half-closed as she observed the two people in front of her.

She lazily took off one earphone.

Even at this kind of reunion, she remained composed, showing no emotion.

“Is something the matter?”

Shao Yunxuan smiled, “Lu Mian, don’t be like this all the time.

We just ran into you and wanted to come over and see how you are!”

Fu Shuangshuang also nodded, “Yeah, we’re all just genuinely concerned about you.”

Lu Mian said nothing.

Shao Yunxuan seemed to hear the music Lu Mian was listening to.

The sound of impressive rock music came from the earphones.

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then asked, “Are you still learning to play the synthesizer, Lu Mian?

What grade have you reached now?”

“I haven’t taken any grades; it’s not necessary.”

Her simple six-word reply was very cold.

Shao Yunxuan covered her mouth, “Then isn’t all your learning in vain?

If you don’t even take the exams, how will outsiders know whether you’re good or bad?” As she spoke, she paused, then laughed knowingly, “But then again, the synthesizer is just that, it doesn’t really matter if you take exams for it.

Actually, I sincerely advise you to quit learning the synthesizer and start learning the piano.

In the eyes of those aristocrats, the synthesizer is nothing but a toy, unfit for elegant occasions; the piano is the true mark of refinement.

Haven’t you seen them often attending concerts?”

Shao Yunxuan’s tone was full of boastful swagger.

She was also comparing herself with Lu Mian, insinuating that Lu Mian was still at the bottom, while she had already squeezed into high society.

Fu Shuangshuang, with her arm around Shao Yunxuan’s, nodded in agreement, “You’re so right!

Yunxuan, if I’d had your enlightenment earlier, I would’ve also followed suit and learned the piano.

It’s just a pity that it’s too late for me now, I can’t keep up.”
