Chapter 16: Too Boring, You Guys Go Ahead

Lu Mian was not at all interested in knowing how Xiao Qimo deduced that information. She clipped the handkerchief between her fingers and waved it.

“I think you have a lot of these kinds of handkerchiefs. There’s no difference if you have this or not. Thank you, Mr. Xiao.”

Xiao Qimo looked at how she casually stuffed the handkerchief into her pocket and left with her hands in her pockets.

Xiao Qimo asked in a friendly manner, “Are you not going for the banquet?”

“It’s very boring. You two go ahead.”

The tone used was arrogant, cool and unruly.

Together with her movements, she was totally a cynical and rebellious young girl.

Ye Jinwen watched her as she left, before heaving a sigh of relief.

They found the answer to the battle.

However, Qimo’s attitude was a little strange…

Su family’s banquet hall…

The guests that were ignored by Elder Su did not know that they had just dodged a bullet as they gathered in groups and lamented about Lu Mian.

They looked at Lu Xinnuan from time to time and lowered their heads to whisper.

“Was the person in the backyard really the Big Missy Lu – Lu Mian? The one that just came back after being kidnapped for two years?”

“It’s her! Lu Famly Master had already admitted it. That Lu Mian is really weird and is super cold. One look and you’ll know that she has some mental issues.”

“Yeah, I was just worrying if she would suddenly hold a knife against us. People like her would take revenge against society any day if they’re put in a bad mood.”

“Don’t talk about it anymore! My hair is already standing on end. It’s all the Lu Family’s fault. They should lock this type of person at home, why did they let her out? Old Mr. Su is too kind and was obviously relieving the awkward situation for Lu Mian, causing us to make a futile trip.”

“…”

The guests’ voices had mostly travelled to Lu Xingtang trio’s ears.

Lu Xingtang’s face turned increasingly dark.

Lu Mian’s appearance in the backyard previously had already tarnished their reputation and made them a laughingstock. She had even let the others know of her presence.

Honestly, he really did not want to have this niece of his.

This was because she was an embarrassment.

She was never likeable since young and would always cause trouble.

Not mentioning the kidnapping, they also wanted to live with her harmoniously after she came back. However, they did not expect her personality to be even more of a loner, and she had repeatedly disrespected the elders, putting them in a difficult position.

Fei Jinlan was also upset as she shook her head and lamented sadly, “What’s wrong with her? None of the guests today could receive Old Master Su’s personal invitation. How on earth did Lu Mian get Old Master Su to greet her personally and leave the rest of us hanging?”

Lu Xinnuan lowered her head and only raised it after she sent a text. She counseled them obediently.

“Perhaps Grandpa Su did that because he felt that Sister was very pitiful.” Her tone suddenly changed and her eyes started to turn red. “Uncle, Auntie, please don’t be angry. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of Sister…”

“Xinnuan, this has nothing to do with you!” Fei Jinlan patted the back of Lu Xinnuan’s hand.

When Lu Xingtang heard her words, he kind of agreed with her and his face looked better.

Old Master was the greatest philanthropist in Wu City. He was soft-hearted and kind, and had helped quite a number of people all these years. After the 726 kidnapping incident was exposed two years ago, he had put in a lot of money and effort to find the kidnappers. Even though there were not many results, he really did his best.

Now that Lu Mian was back, Elder Su probably took pity on her.

The people in the banquet hall participated in heated discussions, but they did not know that Xiao Qimo had overheard all of these.

He placed one hand in his pants pocket and pulled back his long leg that was heading for the banquet hall.

“Qimo, aren’t you going in?” It was rare for Master Mo to personally meet the crowd and participate in such an event.

“It’s very boring. You guys go ahead.” He lost his interest immediately and walked towards the outside of the yard.

Ye Jinwen danced to his tune and followed him, helpless and speechless.

Master Mo, you’re not the original creator of this sentence, right?

He could not tell if he really left the banquet because it was boring, or because the people inside were talking bad about Lu Mian.

The point was: was he not going to ask Elder Su about the kidnapping incident?
