The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 329: Chapter 328: Ruthlessly Kicking Someone Out! (Extra)

“The temperature has come down, and the heart rate has stabilized quite a bit,”

This result both relieved and distressed Xiao Qimo; he simply couldn’t understand what was wrong with her and was even more curious whether she remembered or had forgotten what happened last night.

He sighed and continued to work on the thing in his hands.

Ye Jinwen knew what he was doing, just smiled, and left.

When he returned to Lu Mian’s ward, he saw that she was gradually regaining her calm, leaning on the bed, holding a novel and reading intently.

“Eh, when did you get that?”

...

“Oh, a friend came by just now.”

Ye Jinwen glanced and sure enough, there were a birthday cake and some gifts on the coffee table. He leaned in with a hehe, curious, “Was it someone wrapped up really tightly?”

“…” Lu Mian paused, “No.”

“Oh.”

As the two were talking, an elderly person came in, leaning on a cane and trembling.

Ye Jinwen instinctively hurried over to help, and upon closer inspection, it was Mr. Su.

The ward had really livened up.

Lu Mian looked up and saw the old man take off his hat and scarf, set down his bags, and rubbed his forehead, “Why did you come?”

It was because Mr. Su was worried about her. After making inquiries, he learned that Lu Mian was in this ward. Lu Mian’s illness had come without warning, and he couldn’t rest easy without coming to see for himself.

Su Qinghe sat down and carefully asked about the entire situation.

Ye Jinwen explained everything from beginning to end but omitted the special reaction Lu Mian had towards Xiao Qimo.

Mr. Su pursued the question of how she came down with the fever.

Lu Mian explained that she caught a cold because she had left her bedroom window open the previous night.

Since it was midday, Mr. Su had also brought some light food for Lu Mian from MM Ji Restaurant. He watched Lu Mian finish eating but didn’t plan to leave, patiently sitting by the bedside.

Lu Mian, feeling helpless, “Grandpa Su, how long are you planning to watch over me?”

“I’m an old man with nothing else to do, and you’re not busy right now either, so play a couple of games with me.” As he spoke, he had already taken out a chessboard and pieces from his pocket, with an expression that said, “I finally caught you.”

Lu Mian: …

Ye Jinwen: …

Lu Xinnuan left school two classes early in the afternoon; after asking around, she found out Lu Mian was at the Central Hospital and quickly took a taxi there.

She was about to ask the nurse at the front desk, but she noticed a woman standing at a nearby nurse station.

The middle-aged woman sheepishly asked, “Could you help me check in which ward Lu Mian is?”

After saying this, the woman added, “I am her… mother.”

The head nurse looked Fu Man over, doubtful.

The woman’s clothes were very ordinary, but that girl was staying in the most expensive ward in their hospital.

Naturally, she wouldn’t disclose such information without permission and said nothing.

Fu Man nodded in disappointment, turned around, and came face-to-face with the girl who was approaching.

Lu Xinnuan called out in surprise, “Mom?”

For the mother and daughter to meet in such a place, honestly, it was quite awkward.

Fu Man’s eyes flickered evasively, “Aren’t you supposed to be in school? Why did you come out?”

“I… I heard from classmates that Lu Mian was very sick, with a fever over forty degrees, so I came to check on her…” Lu Xinnuan made up an excuse, already seeing through Fu Man’s intentions.

She said nothing but her eyes clouded with a hint of shadow.

So Mom is concerned about Lu Mian, huh? Haha, very well, then let Mom see the real face of Lu Mian!

Maybe right now, Lu Mian is getting all cozy with that old man!

Although she didn’t catch many details that night, she was confident that she would recognize that old man if she saw him again!

“Mom, let’s search the wards one by one then.”

Lu Mian played several games of chess with old Mr. Su, completely unfocused. When her phone rang, she used it as an excuse to get some fresh air, leaving old Mr. Su and Ye Jinwen in the ward.

Han Jin called her, saying he had arrived at the central hospital.

She figured getting rid of one was better than none; she didn’t want to turn the ward into a social gathering.

By now, Lu Mian was feeling much better. She was wearing hospital clothes with a down jacket that Xiao Qimo had bought for her on the fly, and she carelessly went downstairs. Even dressed like this, she still managed to look distinctive, causing many people in the hallway to turn their heads and look at her.

When she reached the entrance of the lobby, Han Jin also got out of the jeep and quickly ushered her inside.

“What, do you think I’m a three-year-old who can’t even find the ward?” Han Jin grumbled as he ushered her into the warm area, taking off his own coat and wrapping it around her waist to cover her thin pants.

Lu Mian: “…”

“Lu Mian, oh Lu Mian, didn’t I tell you to wear more clothes? Now you see, you got sick, and who ends up suffering?”

“Uncle Han…” Lu Mian pursed her lips and pinched his sleeve, “there are so many people here.”

Han Jin rolled his eyes, “When did you start caring so much about your image?”

“…”

Ah, when Han Jin started complaining, he could go on and on day and night without end.

Lu Mian didn’t argue with him because the more she argued, the more she got scolded.

Han Jin had a fiery temper and was impatient, bluntly stating, “Let’s go, take me upstairs. I want to ask the doctor about the situation!”

“Forget it, you should go.”

“…” Han Jin was left speechless.

So many people were fighting to see him, and he dropped everything to visit her, yet she was so heartlessly sending him away!

“Is there something I shouldn’t know about upstairs?” Han Jin stared at Lu Mian to see if she looked guilty. “Is there something you don’t want me, don’t want Sikong to know about?”

“…” Lu Mian frowned, not at all polite, “Whatever you think!”

She continued forward, unperturbed.

Han Jin followed her suspiciously. Just then, his phone in his pocket rang. Lu Mian fumbled for a while in the suit jacket tied around her waist and handed it to him.

Han Jin’s tone was very calm.

“Right, don’t bother coming over. I’m busy with something.”

“If you really have to come, then come…” he glanced at Lu Mian and asked, “Which ward?”

Lu Mian curled her lips: 635.

Han Jin said, “It’s ward 635.”

He hung up quickly. Lu Mian teased him, “If you’re that busy, don’t worry about me here. I’m fine now.”

“No matter how busy I am, it’s not as important as you! Don’t worry; I won’t disturb you. I’ll just speak with her for a bit and send her away.”

“Oh.”

——

Sheng Zijin rushed from the hotel to Kunpeng High School, only to be told that Han Jin had just left for the central hospital. Apparently, someone important was sick and hospitalized, and Han Jin was so concerned that he had to see them.

Though disappointed that Han Jin hadn’t come for her, Sheng Zijin figured that someone Uncle Han cared about so much must be a big shot. Connections are made this way, right? She saw no reason to miss this networking opportunity.

Feeling hopeful, she even specially bought fruits and a gift box from the hospital shop downstairs, intending to visit with a sincere heart.

This time, she shouldn’t be disappointed again!
