The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Is There a Difference? Aren’t They All About Two Hundred Points? (Additional Release 2)

Lu Xinnuan stared at the transfer notification, a bit lost in thought, when she quickly received another message.

“This time I miscalculated and dragged you into losing money, I’ll take responsibility for this.”

Five thousand yuan.

Su Jue even gave her an extra two thousand.

Lu Xinnuan stared at her phone, her mood instantly lifted, and a smile even began to play at the corners of her mouth.

Fu Man leaned over to take a peek, and as she saw Lu Xinnuan reach to accept the transfer, she frowned, “Su Jue, huh? I think you should forget it. If you take this money, you’ll be belittling yourself in front of him.”

Even Fu Man knew that when it came to investments, it was a matter of willing buyer, willing seller, and each bore their own profits and losses.

Besides, Nuannuan was interested in Su Jue, and she really didn’t want Nuannuan to be unable to hold her head up just because of these three thousand yuan.

Losing money did sting, but she hadn’t forgotten how cold Su Jue had been towards her and Nuannuan during the Go tournament.

She couldn’t be so shallow and let others look down on Nuannuan.

Lu Xinnuan paused, then looked up at her mother and without hesitation, accepted the transfer. She even sent Su Jue a cute emoji.

“Mom, you can’t think like that. Su Jue is just aware of our situation, he’s showing us concern.”

“But…”

“It’s okay, Mom, don’t worry. Su Jue is just taking responsibility, and that’s kind of him! Moreover, during these days in the hospital, I’ve had a realization. Let that person do as they please; I don’t blame her. Right now, I just want to focus on studying and improving myself.”

To get into a good university and marry into the Su Family, that was her real goal!

“That’s the right attitude. Xinnuan, you have a bright future ahead of you…”

“By the way, Mom…” Lu Xinnuan hesitated for a moment, “You said the snuff bottle was lost, do you still remember the Go game on it? Since Su Jue has been so righteous this time, I feel like we should repay the Su Family with some gesture…”

Fu Man faltered, her words evasive, “That… Mom really doesn’t remember.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Oh…”

The assistance program in class High 1 (25) was in full swing.

As soon as it was break or self-study time, everyone eagerly paired up with their partners, some explaining problems and others copying notes.

Although there were those who were just going through the motions, at least the overall study atmosphere had improved.

But at the back of the classroom, Guo Zihao and Yuan Hao were looking particularly dismal.

Everyone else had good students to work with, but they just looked on helplessly, like children without a mother.

From several desks away, Xu Jiahui saw them. He had just learned how to solve a problem and was excited; holding his notebook, he swaggered over to them.

He was teamed up with Su Luo. Now that Su Luo wasn’t there, he wandered over to this side to mock Fat Hao and Shouhao.

“How’s the studying going, you two?” His tone was quite smug.

Shouhao couldn’t resist retorting, “The fourth from the bottom shouldn’t be mocking us. What’s the difference, really? Aren’t we both just scoring in the two hundreds?”

“I was fourth from the bottom last time, but this time it might not be the case. As for you two, you better hurry and find some reliable good students to lead you!”

Xu Jiahui was already standing in front of Lu Mian’s desk as he said this.

Lu Mian wasn’t there, which is why he dared to be so brazen. Suddenly, he noticed a pink notebook peeking out of Lu Mian’s desk. His curiosity got the best of him, and he pulled it out without thinking.

Fat Hao hurriedly tried to stop him, “That’s Mian’s stuff, you can’t touch it!”

“I just saw this notebook about to fall and was picking it up for her!” While he said this, he opened the notebook and, upon seeing the content inside, suddenly screamed.

It was as if he had stumbled upon someone else’s secret, excited to tell the whole world.

“You guys need to come and see this—”
