Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Are You Worthy?
Fu Man’s heart roiled with countless regrets and agony, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already covering her mouth with tears streaming down her face.
Why hadn’t she believed Mianmian even once back then?
All she knew was to say it was impossible, she didn’t believe, and that her daughter couldn’t be that incredible, so impatient that she wasn’t even willing to give Mianmian a few minutes to prove herself.
It was she who had pushed the little angel away from her side.
Maybe, Mianmian’s personality today was also her doing…
Fu Man clutched her chest and, with tear-filled eyes, looked towards Lu Mian at the chairman’s stage.
Lu Mian felt it, and casually tossed the chess piece in her hand, nonchalantly pretending not to see and avoided Fu Man’s gaze.
She was somewhat annoyed with the current situation, as she was just there to take the money that didn’t belong to Su Jue.
Clearing up misunderstandings and repairing familial relations meant nothing to her.
Showcasing talent and praise from strangers didn’t interest her either.
She stretched her neck and walked up to Elder Su, opening her mouth to say, “Elder Su, can I take the twenty million now?”
The crowd of chess players energetically discussing her ranking were awkward to the extreme.
Here they were deifying her accomplishments, yet she was only interested in twenty million.
Su Qinghe was both resigned and indulgent, quickly directing his grandson to get the money ready, to register what needed registering and to handle the transactions that needed handling.
By this time, Su Jue had also snapped out of it and hurriedly went with Lu Mian to complete the paperwork.
As Lu Mian signed her name, he let out a long sigh next to her, wistfully saying, “Being able to see you and your family resolve misunderstandings this time, my money has been well spent. With this money of mine, I believe your family will definitely be able to live a good life.”
Lu Mian signed her name swiftly, the pen twirling in her hand before she “thwack” set it down with quite some force.
Lu Mian smiled coldly and mockingly, silently wondering what Su Jue meant with his tone of bestowing charity and pointing fingers.
Who decided that she would definitely use this money for her family?
“You, why are you looking at me like that… I’m trying to help you! This twenty million is my sponsorship after all!” Su Jue stuttered, taking a step back.
He was aware of Lu Mian’s formidability.
But this time, without his sponsorship and involvement, with Lu Mian’s nasty temper, she’d have never reconciled with her family in her lifetime.
Her attitude right now was really excessive!
Yes, Lu Mian had never shown Su Jue a friendly face.
And now, she was even less likely to.
She picked up the pen from the table again, twirling it twice in her hand before closing in on Su Jue. The next second, the tip of the pen jabbed precisely at Su Jue’s heart, forceful and malicious, almost leaving him breathless.
With her other hand, she nonchalantly picked up the twenty-million check, the mocking curve of her lips growing deeper.
“Su Jue, do you deserve this money?” she asked.
Su Jue was startled, “What, what do you mean?”
But Lu Mian was already out of patience to solve it for him, tossing the pen into his embrace, she turned around holding the check.
Su Jue shakily picked up the pen, not doubting that if it had been a knife, he would have been gutted by now.
Lu Mian had no intention of lingering, bidding farewell to Su Qinghe before planning to leave.
As she passed by Lu Xinnuan, she didn’t even spare her a glance.
Arrogant and disdainful, regarding everything beneath her notice.
Lu Xinnuan had never imagined the current situation, had never thought that what she took for granted as leverage would instead contribute to Lu Mian’s good reputation.
She felt deep hatred and resentment.
What would mom do after finding out? Would she reconcile with Lu Mian?
Would mom call Lu Mian back to the Lu Family, would she divide her love for her and give some to Lu Mian?
No, Lu Mian still had twenty million!
