The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 22: How Cool and Arrogant – What a Character!

Editor: Atlas Studios

It seemed like the entire family was indebted to her and they all became villains.

She knew that the entire family would never forget the 726 kidnapping incident for as long as Lu Mian was in the Lu Family.

This was not the life she wanted.

Lu Xinnuan gripped her hands and comforted Fu Man after. “I think Sister really didn’t take this incident to heart, based on how she behaves. Mom, don’t be so worried all the time. Sister doesn’t even care about it, so you shouldn’t blame yourself.”

“That’s good…” Fu Man was really comforted and nodded readily. She turned around and asked concernedly, “Nuannuan, are you leaving now? Are you full?”

“I don’t want to eat anymore… Mom, I’m leaving too!”

…

Tenth Grade, Class 25

Lu Mian came back on the 24th of August and coincidentally enrolled into the tenth grade with the junior school graduates.

Her situation was kind of special, so she did not follow the military training and had missed the chance to bond with her new classmates. She only came for lessons when school officially started.

She normally blew hot and cold during lessons and only came for a few times. Many classmates did not even know that such a person existed in class.

So her presence in school today not only surprised the classmates, but the form teacher also found it weird.

The first lesson was coincidentally the form teacher’s physics class.

The young male teacher, Ding Cai, who was wearing thick glasses, taught ‘Time and Displacement’ passionately and would raise examples that tickled the students from time to time.

Ding Cai felt that his lecture was very interesting, but he noticed a young girl at a corner of the classroom was in a daze from the corner of his eye.

He squinted his eyes and kept quiet.

He stared straight at Lu Mian, who was sitting at the corner of the classroom next to the windows.

She did not have a table partner, as she came too late.

Twirling her pen with one hand and holding her chin with the other, she was reading the flowery book standing on the table with much focus.

He could not see clearly what book it was, but it was definitely not related to physics.

This Lu Mian!

Ding Cai broke a chalk in his hands and weighed the top of the chalk in his hands.

Throwing the chalk tip was a must-learn for all teachers, and Ding Cai was not an exception.

He accurately threw it forward and it drew a perfect angle in the air. Everyone in class turned their heads towards Lu Mian in unison.

Just when everybody thought the chalk tip would hit Lu Mian’s head, they saw…

With a nonchalant wave of her hand that was holding her chin, something appeared between her fingers, while the pen in her right hand was still twirling normally.

S-she… caught it?

Immediately, the students in class thought that she had character, and the action of catching the chalk tip was very cool. Some even cheered her on loudly.

Ding Cai was infuriated. This Lu Mian was clearly challenging him in public.

If he did not prove his authority as the form teacher, the class would revolt.

He put down the physics textbook and dashed to Lu Mian’s table rapidly, directly taking away the flowery book and the chalk in between her fingers.

Lu Mian looked up slightly and her gaze was rather confused and innocent.

Suddenly, half of Ding Cai’s temper was lost.

He knew about this child’s misfortune. In the year she was kidnapped, she entered Kun Peng Middle School after graduating from junior school, with average results that scraped past the cut-off points.

When she came back, the Education Ministry arranged for her to continue with the tenth grade, but many teachers did not think well of her. They all rejected her as they felt that she would not be able to catch up with the curriculum, and she needed some adjustments.

However, this was a strict command from the Education Ministry.

Sigh, anyway, something possessed him and he accepted her.

Ding Cai shifted his gaze to the book in his hands. ‘Stocks God Business Woman’?

He was slightly confused. “You like this type of light reading?”
