The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Everyone understood.

This was how Lu Mian resolved issues.

Remove the firewood from under the pot, both cruel and decisive, cutting off all of Lu Xinnuan’s lingering hopes.

Lu Chengweng and yellow jade came to their senses amidst the shock.

The person standing before them was just a 19-year-old girl, even still in her first year of senior high, yet they couldn’t help but feel powerless.

They couldn’t tame her, couldn’t suppress her in the least.

Lu Mian, lacking patience, pinched the bridge of her nose, “Sign it, it’s for the best for everyone.”

These casually spoken words were thought-provoking.

Or rather, every word she uttered hit the nail on the head, swift, accurate, and fierce.

All six of them trembled.

They realized that the Lu Mian before them was someone they had never truly understood, her growth and strength seemingly beyond their imagination.

Not just in Physics, but in other areas too…

Lu Xinnuan was gripping her fists fiercely, her lips trembling as if wanting to say something. But she was quickly restrained by Pei Jinlan, who shot her a stern look.

She bit her lip, forcing herself to act obedient.

Pei Jinlan, coming from a reputable family, was quite composed. By now, she had put on a gentle smile, looking at Lu Mian.

“Mianmian, transferring your household registration is not such a big deal; after all, you are still a member of the Lu Family. May I be so bold as to ask, what is your relation to the head of Sufeng Company? Was it to them you sent that text message just now?”

She had seen everything clearly – it indeed was after Lu Mian had sent a message that Sufeng Company called Xinnuan back. Even if Xinnuan’s work was suspected of plagiarism, could a single text message from Lu Mian change their decision?

At the very least, they should have taken time to verify the issue and hold another round of discussions, right?

Yet the reality was that within the span of five minutes, Lu Xinnuan’s fate had been completely changed.

A coincidence?

She didn’t believe it – there had to be some other hidden truths.

Lu Mian just smiled at her without intending to explain. She twirled a pen in her hand idly, as she waited. She disliked unnecessary talk; having come today, she had no intention of leaving in failure.

Those beautiful eyes contained flickering light, devoid of any trace of sentimentality, only endless coldness and impatience.

Pei Jinlan felt awkward, the air in the living room grew dense, and the situation tense.

Lu Xinnuan’s palms were almost bleeding from the strength of her grip, her glare at Lu Mian filled with loathing but coupled with fear, not knowing how to vent her pent-up frustration.

Just then, an oblivious servant came to ask when they would eat. Xinnuan, losing her composure, viciously rebuked the servant, completely taking her anger out on them.

Pei Jinlan frowned deeply, quite disappointed.

In the end, it all came back to the matter of signing or not signing.

After a long look between each other, Lu Chengweng and yellow jade’s minds were a complete mess. Meeting Lu Mian’s cold, piercing gaze, they eventually pulled out a pen from their pocket and shakily signed their names on the document.

They hardly dared to touch Lu Mian’s pen.

Yellow jade followed suit.

Finally in a better mood, Lu Mian flipped the document satisfyingly and placed it into her backpack. Then, leisurely, she took out another document and handed it to Fu Man.

“Ms. Fu, please.”

Fu Man’s heart trembled: “Severance of Family Relationship Agreement”

“Mianmian…” her tears immediately started falling.

She recognized the words on it, but once pieced together, they blurred before her eyes, her ears ringing.

First transferring the household registration, then severing relations, step by step, Lu Mian had calculated everything.

In this way, Lu Mian would no longer have any ties with the Lu Family…
