Chapter 214: Chapter 213: Is It Him Again This Time?
Su Jue felt like he was going crazy, his mind overwhelmed by reality.
He couldn’t believe that one person could have so many identities, he couldn’t believe a 19-year-old girl could accomplish such things, it was impossible!
Su Luo listened with her heart pounding, but she basically understood.
It must have been her brother who reported Lu Mian in the group, only for a shocking turnaround—the stock trading whiz in the group was Lu Mian herself.
She suddenly realized, everything made sense now.
At that time, it must have been Lu Mian who discovered Su Jue impersonating someone in her group to make money, which is why she kicked him out. As for the dishonorably acquired twenty million, she won it back with a game of Go.
She didn’t keep it for herself; she used it for charity.
Su Luo swallowed hard, she really had misunderstood Lu Mian from the start.
Who on earth was this goddess?
“Brother,” Su Luo took a breath, still rational, “don’t you understand? It was our prejudice against her that led us to misunderstand her. But she is not what we thought, she is actually quite nice!”
Su Jue panicked as he saw his sister also abandoning him, shaking his head in denial, “Luoluo, you are too naive. Lu Mian must have some unspeakable secret behind her! You go be good friends with her, try to get information out of her, you’ll definitely find something!”
“Su Jue, you’re insane!” Su Luo’s pretty face chilled as she grabbed a can of Coke from the table and hurled it into his chest with force.
Su Jue clutched his chest, tears springing from the pain.
“Luoluo, I’m your real brother…”
But Su Luo wasn’t the slightest bit soft-hearted, her tone turning even colder.
“Losing is losing, winning is winning, is it so hard to admit that someone is better than you? Let me tell you, Su Jue, even if I, Su Luo, wanted to compete, I wouldn’t use such dirty tricks! I suggest you stop causing trouble, or you’ll only embarrass yourself in the end!”
Su Luo spoke sharply, her face red with anger, she walked coldly to the door, and finally advised, “I won’t tell Grandpa about this for now, but I think you really need to adjust your mindset.”
Lu Mian’s period had come again.
The intense pain made it difficult for her to get up from bed, but she found the painkillers Xiao Qimo left for her.
Without looking carefully at the instructions, she swallowed two pills.
Amazingly, the effect was immediate.
Lu Mian had not even crawled back to the bedroom from the living room when the ripping sensation in her abdomen eased a bit.
She lay on the bed, her slender and beautiful legs casually pressing down on the quilt as she carefully looked over the medicine box and instructions, her eyes slightly complex.
The doorbell rang unexpectedly.
Lu Mian paused, then remembered the last time she had abdominal pain, Xiao Qimo had come knocking on her door with food. Was it him again this time?
However, she hadn’t seen him at school these past few days.
Lu Mian checked her wristwatch, and a gaunt, serious face appeared on the tiny screen.
She hid a trace of emotion and quickly pressed to open the door.
“How’s your body feeling?” Yu walked in from outside, closed the door, took off his shoes, and asked in the direction of the bedroom as he did so.
Such actions, as if he had done it many times before, very natural and not awkward.
Lu Mian walked out barefoot, leisurely, her pajamas giving off a runway vibe as she leaned casually against the wall, cocking her head and smiling, “Handsome Yu, this is a girl’s issue.”
Yu paused, a shadow of dimness swept across his narrow eyes, but he said no more.
He placed the MM Ji Restaurant bag on the dining table, offering without any hesitation, “Eat up, it’s all your favorites.”
“And,” Yu returned to the shoe cabinet, bent down to get a pair of grey cotton slippers and passed them over, “put on the slippers.”
“…” Lu Mian’s mouth curled up, her fingertips idly twirling her hair by her ear, as she moved close to Yu and pouted up at him.
Yu’s gaze flickered away for a moment, “What is it?”
Lu Mian tilted her head, her voice a mix of mischief and helplessness
