The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Don’t Fall for Her (Extra Chapter)

Meeting the animated gazes of the siblings, Su Qinghe’s tone weakened a bit more, “I’ll have to arrange this first. After all, I’m not sure if they will agree to tutor you.”

Was there anyone who wouldn’t give his grandfather face?

The siblings were puzzled, yet they happily agreed.

Maybe the person Grandpa found was a top figure in the industry!

A leading coding master indeed has the right to be arrogant.

“Okay, thank you, Grandpa!”

After returning to their room, Su Luo and Su Jue whispered to each other for a while.

“Brother, just you watch. Once I contact this coding master, I’ll have him hack into Lu Mian’s account!”

“Yeah.” Su Jue seemed to have thought of something and paused.

Su Luo glared at him, frustrated, “Brother, what’s with that despondent look? Don’t tell me you can’t bear to move against Lu Mian? Don’t forget how she tricked you!”

“Of course, I won’t forget!”

“Then you like her?”

Su Jue hastily denied, “Impossible! Grandpa said before, our family is not a match for Lu Mian.”

He had never forgotten those words; they echoed like a curse in his mind.

—— Su Luo’s face turned very ugly, extremely ugly.

It was like the pride of his illustrious lineage was defeated by a beggar.

“Grandpa was way out of line!” Su Luo clenched her fist and waved it in front of Su Jue, “Bro, I’m warning you, don’t get involved with either of those Lu sisters! Especially that Lu Xinnuan, look at her family background, look at that petty temperament of hers, imagining she can step through the Su Family’s door, what a joke!”

Su Luo naturally looked down on Lu Xinnuan.

She had met Lu Xinnuan a few times; gentle and well-mannered, seemingly a lady from a reputable family, but in reality, utterly affected.

Talking to her was unsatisfactory, all indirect and vague.

Su Jue nodded absentmindedly and left the room.

——

At this time, Lu Xinnuan was still in the hospital.

Since the Go tournament, she had been brought to the hospital due to hypoxia. Though a day or two would have been sufficient, Fu Man, worried sick, insistently paid the hospitalization fees, wanting her to fully recover before discharge.

“Nuannuan, are you feeling better today?” Fu Man handed over a plate of fresh and shiny grapes, not many, all for her younger daughter.

“Don’t be upset, have some fruit.”

“Mom…” Tears threatened to fall from Lu Xinnuan’s eyes again.

Fu Man felt immensely pained, “What’s happened now, why are you crying again?”

“I… I lost all my money in the stock market…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That sent a jolt through Fu Man’s heart, almost at her wit’s end.

Three thousand dollars, a month’s living expenses for their family!

She earned six thousand a month, while the children’s father only contributed one thousand to the family. Food, utilities, and investments for her younger daughter, this little money was never enough.

The woes of the poor are countless, ninety percent of them due to lack of money. Now, with added troubles like Nuannuan’s hospitalization and the lost money, they can’t even afford meals this month.

But seeing Nuannuan crying so heartbreakingly, she could not bring herself to say anything.

She wanted to help share the family’s burden, what wrong did she do?

As Lu Xinnuan was tearfully about to say something, Su Jue sent her a message.

This was the first time he reached out to her since she was hospitalized.

She opened it, and it was a money transfer.
