The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 290: Chapter 289: Who Exactly is Behind Lu Mian?

The young girl gracefully waved her hand.

“Sheng Sister, hello, I am Lu Xi’s cousin, Lu Xinnuan.” Lu Xinnuan had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she finally saw Sheng Zijin, she rushed up with great enthusiasm.

Sheng Zijin currently held no fondness for the term ‘cousin’ and responded with a noncommittal hum as she sidestepped past her.

Lu Xinnuan followed closely behind, “Sheng Sister, what’s wrong? I’m quite familiar with Wucheng, do you need my help with anything?”

“No need.” Sheng Zijin decisively declined, for after all, she was the Miss of the Sheng Family and not about to accept help from this kind of person.@@novelbin@@

However, after she had walked a few steps, she seemed to think of something and turned back, “Who is Lu Mian to you?”

“Her? She’s my twin sister.”

“Oh.” Sheng Zijin narrowed her eyes, inquiring with implied meaning, “Then, does she have a boyfriend, or are there any men around her?”

“Ah?” Lu Xinnuan, clueless yet very eager to engage, replied, “I don’t know… but I can help you find out!”

“Okay, thank you.”

She did want to know what kind of person stood behind Lu Mian that could enable her to act so wildly!

While they were speaking, Lu Xi had also gone to the garage to get the car, and hastily drove out with Sheng Zijin to the Central Hospital.

The emergency room.

Lei Shuqi, who had previously hit on Lu Mian, was now lying on the emergency room hospital bed, his head wrapped with a bandage. Four others stood around him.

On seeing Lu Xi and Sheng Zijin, they began to complain bitterly.

“Lu Xi, your cousin is way too fierce. I only asked for her contact information, and she hit me.”

“That’s right, out of the five of us, not one was spared. We’re all fine since we’re wearing thick clothes for winter and didn’t hurt our skin, but Young Master Lei cracked his head open.”

“Lu Xi, Zijin, we came to Wucheng to have fun for the sake of you two. It’s not right to treat us like this!”

Sheng Zijin took a deep breath, grinding her molars, “Shuqi, you should first complete the necessary examinations, and I’ll go get a hospital room for you.”

Having said that, she gave Lu Xi a look, “Lu Xi, come out with me.”

Lu Xi followed, took the initiative to pay, filled out various forms for examinations, and also arranged for hospital admission.

Sheng Zijin stopped by the corridor, arms crossed, not hiding the blame in her heart.

“Lu Xi, this incident must be your sister’s fault, right? No matter what, she shouldn’t have resorted to hitting someone.”

“Mianmian doesn’t know them after all, perhaps she got scared…”

“So that means she can just hit people? Shuqi hurt his head. What if there are other symptoms? What if… how am I supposed to explain this to the Lei Family?” As she spoke, Sheng Zijin felt somewhat aggrieved.

Ever since she arrived in Wucheng, not many things had gone smoothly. The banquet was ruined, a classmate got beaten up; each event had a negative impact on her mood.

And the Lei Family was not just any family—they were firmly a top-tier family and an object the Sheng Family wished to court. If Lei Shuqi suffered a mishap under her watch, she wouldn’t know how to justify it!

Sheng Zijin let out a deep sigh, feeling utterly drained, “Lu Xi, no matter what, you can’t cover for Lu Mian this time. Give me her contact information.”

——

Lu Mian had just finished dinner with Director Qi and was about to head back to rest next door when she abruptly received a call from an unknown number.

The persistent unknown number kept ringing, and she slowly picked up.

“Lu Mian, right? I am Sheng Zijin, your brother Lu Xi’s classmate. You hit one of our classmates. Please come to the Central Hospital emergency room now.”

Lu Mian hummed, but before she could say anything, the caller had already hung up.

She looked at her phone in distress, thinking, Hospitalized?

She had been really gentle this time…
