The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 292: Chapter 291: There’s No Girl Prettier Than Her

Everyone’s eyes turned to Lei Shuqi.

Except for Lu Mian, everyone present knew Lei Shuqi’s identity, and this time he had been hit, which probably wouldn’t be easily forgiven.

Lei Shuqi didn’t even glance at Sheng Zijin; he just kept staring at Lu Mian.

So beautiful, the more he looked, the more beautiful she became.

In all of Jinjing with its wealthy daughters, stars, and supermodels, not one could compare to her.

Lei Shuqi, touching the bandage on his forehead, thought for a long while before saying, “How about this, I won’t pursue the financial losses. Just have Lu Mian deliver meals to me until I am discharged from the hospital.”

“Deliver meals?” Sheng Zijin was surprised.

“Just deliver meals.”@@novelbin@@

“Shuqi, is that it?” Sheng Zijin felt Lei Shuqi had a hidden agenda and reminded him. This was letting them off too easily. If that were the case, wouldn’t everyone dare to strike a noble’s child in the future?

Lu Xi took advantage of the pause to quickly ask Lu Mian, “Mianmian, what do you think?”

Lu Mian gave an OK gesture. It was just delivering meals, not a big deal. The main thing was she didn’t want her cousin caught in the middle.

Lei Shuqi added, “You must deliver them personally.”

Sheng Zijin opened her mouth but then closed it; this was really too simple. She felt somewhat sullen and stopped interfering in their affairs, sinking into the sofa and began texting on her phone.

“No problem. Anything else?” Lu Mian agreed and then asked, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

Lei Shuqi couldn’t retain her, leaving only a cold, slender figure who opened the door and left.

Like the wind, coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.

The few guys in the ward let out a collective sigh.

“Lei Shao, this looks like punishment on the surface, but it’s actually a prime opportunity for you, isn’t it?”

“Are you planning to use delivering meals as a way to make your move?”

“Lu Xi, Lei Shao has taken a liking to your sister; you should play matchmaker for them.”

Lu Xi, frowning, managed to stay tough in front of this group of rich young masters.

“My sister is still in school, don’t go getting ideas about her!”

Lei Shuqi stubbornly retorted, “Can’t I just appreciate her for being pleasant to look at and helping speed up my recovery? Otherwise, can you find a girl prettier than her to deliver my meals?”

Lu Xi couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Aren’t you making it difficult for me?”

“Eh—Lu Xi, saying that could easily make Zijin misunderstand!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that in Lu Xi’s heart, his cousin is the prettiest.”

The men started joking around without any precise aim.

Lu Xi kept his frown and remained silent.

Sheng Zijin, sitting on the sofa on the side, didn’t respond either, just coldly glancing over Lu Xi and looking towards Lei Shuqi.

“Lei Shao, I also advise you to lessen your contact with Lu Mian. That night, I personally saw her getting into a car with a man from Jinjing. That man was generous, gifting her a counterfeit painting worth five hundred thousand…”

“From Jinjing?” Lei Shuqi straightened up, “I haven’t heard of someone from Jinjing coming to Wucheng recently. Could it be Ye Jinwen?”

“I doubt even Ye Jinwen would be so blinded by lust.” Sheng Zijin hadn’t investigated who it was exactly, but on the way there, she had asked Lu Xi for Lu Xinnuan’s contact and had just sent her a text.

The reply came: [Dr. Ye is Lu Mian’s psychologist, nothing more.]

Sheng Zijin felt relieved.

——

Outside in the corridor, Ye Jinwen had just inquired about Lei Shuqi’s medical case when he approached Lu Mian, eager to please.

“Brother Ye, I’ve checked it out for you. The guy’s fine, he can be discharged in about five days, with no lasting effects!”

Lu Mian nodded her head, “Thank you.”

“You came out so quickly, how did you resolve it?”

Lu Mian recounted the details matter-of-factly, with a very calm expression and no visible emotion. Yet at the end, she added another sentence: “Don’t tell Director Qi.”

“Ah? Why not?”
