The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 252: Chapter 251: I’m Just the Driver @@novelbin@@

Lu Mian’s eyes hidden behind the sunglasses possessed a certain remoteness.

Casually tugging at the collar of her hoodie, she concealed the thought-provoking complexity at the corner of her lips.

That small gesture carried a sense of keeping others at a great distance. She slowly raised the car window, her tone crisp and decisive, “It has nothing to do with you, I’m just in a hurry myself.”

“This…”

Liang Xueyan was slightly startled, not expecting this answer. How could she not understand that this was merely the other’s superficial excuse? “Sister, the fact that you saved me is true, and it is something I will never forget no matter what.”

Liang Xueyan tried hard to remember Lu Mian’s appearance through the car window, but she could only see so much and didn’t manage to see Lu Mian’s full face.

If she were lucky enough to see her again, she wouldn’t know if she could recognize the other person.

“Sister…”

Lu Mian had already raised the window halfway. Seeing that Liang Xueyan insisted on asking for her contact information, she felt somewhat helpless and said faintly, “Well, in that case.”

She glanced at old driver Fang outside, trembling as he smoked, “The car belongs to the driver, sir. Since your servant said your family is very powerful, why not help the driver remove a traffic violation? That shouldn’t be tough, right?”

“That’s not tough at all, I will definitely take care of it. But you…”

Lu Mian smirked, “I’m just someone who drives, nothing technically demanding about that.”

Liang Xueyan: “…”

In the end, Lu Mian raised the window completely. Just before she shut the other out, she spoke with a touch of sincerity, her eyes downcast, murmuring, “May you and your child be safe.”

She restarted the car, turned it around, and signaled to old Fang to get in.

Liang Xueyan watched the taxi drive away, engraving both the license plate number and the profile of that proud young woman in her memory.

It wasn’t until the taxi was out of sight that she, supporting her belly, walked with difficulty towards the hospital lobby.

At last, Wang’s sister finished throwing up, caught up from behind, and breathlessly asked, “Madam, did that girl scam you? How much money did she scam you for? If it’s too much, you can’t give—”

Before she could finish, Liang Xueyan suddenly turned to glance at her, her eyes icy and detached.

Wang’s sister felt a sudden chill down her spine and an inexplicable sense of guilt.

“Madam…” She never knew the always generous, gentle, and virtuous madam could have such a frightening gaze.

Liang Xueyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Wang’s sister, shouldn’t you be arranging the hospital room and doctor right now?”

“Right, right, I’ll go right away.” Wang’s sister ran off in a flash.

Liang Xueyan sighed wearily, exhausted and numb.

Even a servant could order her around; she really didn’t know how long she could endure this marriage.

If only her brother was still here…

Lu Mian drove around in circles several times with the driver, making sure to shake off the mercenaries before she could consider it safe for driver Fang.

It also gave old Fang some time to recover his feeling in his legs.

The atmosphere finally lightened.

Old Fang couldn’t help being curious, “Miss, so young with such impressive driving skills, where did you learn them?”

Lu Mian effortlessly shifted gears as she crossed the street, turning her head to smile at old Fang, “I learned it from books.”

Old Fang: “Hahaha, Miss, you really do have a sense of humor.”

Lu Mian pursed her lips: This is no joke…

After dropping off the driver in a safe place, Lu Mian got out of the car. There was still one kilometer to the hotel; she would just walk the rest of the way.

She hadn’t forgotten to return Yuren’s call.

Yuren picked up instantly, concerned, “How did it go, did you shake them off?”

“It’s all good now,” Lu Mian said as she walked on, fitting the earphones snugly.

After a couple of steps, her voice held a complexity as she began, “Handsome Yu, today I ran into your sister…”
