Chapter 29 (2/2)

Lu Mian was waiting outside the whole time.

She was leaning against the corridor walls, and she rested one arm on the railings while the other arm gamed. Her slender, long legs were curled casually, and she made the baggy uniform look like high fashion.

She looked up lazily from time to time, her gaze on the classroom scattered and distant.

She only put her phone away lazily and headed towards Lu Xinnuan and Su Jue when they exited the classroom.

The corners of Lu Xinnuan’s lips twitched. Lu Mian really was here for her.

But to save herself from the embarrassment, Lu Xinnuan decided to speak first. “Can I help you?”

Lu Mian could not be bothered with her sister’s pretentiousness. She curled her lips into a wry smile, disregarding Lu Xinnuan.

She raised her head and said plainly as she pointed at Su Jue, “I’m looking for him, not you.”

The words were as sarcastic as it could be. Lu Xinnuan felt embarrassed, and she did not know what to do.

Thankfully everyone did not know their relationship, so they did not know the hidden meaning behind the words.

But Su Jue paused confusedly.

“Your grandpa couldn’t get in touch with you. He said he’s bringing you to the opening banquet of some company, and he’ll pick you up at the usual spot,” she said expressionlessly.

After that, she walked right past the two of them and left in the opposite direction.

As she walked by the window of class one again, she glanced at the class nonchalantly, her eyes filled with a warmth and gentleness that was hard to detect.

Lu Xinnuan watched Lu Mian walk away. She looked up at Su Jue, who was still in a daze, and tugged on the corner of his shirt gently.

“Su Jue?” She asked in feigned calmness, since she could not disgrace herself in front of him, “What company banquet are you attending?”

“I heard grandpa mention it once. I think it’s some tech company that works with AI.”

“Grandpa Su is so nice to you… I wonder when I’ll have the chance to see Grandpa Su again…”

“We’ll see,” Su Jue replied dismissively before he walked away briskly.
