The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 53: How big was the difference?

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xie Huiyang looked at Su Jue with admiration as he cried out.

“You made 11 million the last time, and 15 million this time. Young Master Su, you’re a genius, the future god of the financial circle!”

The news hit the students like a bomb, and the class broke into a commotion.

Everyone turned to look at Su Jue, their eyes filled with delight.

Su Jue was really happy, but he remained expressionless. “It’s nothing.”

What was nothing to him was something that many of the students could never attain in their lives.

“Young Master Su, how about I host a lunch to celebrate this?!” Xie Huiyang asked excitedly.

Su Jue was happy to have made money, so he waved. “I should be the one treating everyone. Anyone who’s free should come!”

“Young Master Su has spoken, we’re having lunch together! Anyone who’s coming, please come register with me!” Xie Huiyang was quite close to Su Jue, so he took up the duty naturally.

Su Jue paid no attention as he stared at the large sum that had just come into his bank account in a daze.

With these two transactions, Grandpa should look at me differently.

At the thought of his grandpa, he thought of Lu Mian.

The girl’s cold refusal to see him depressed him; he had received such treatment!

“Xinnuan goddess, you should be free at noon right!”

Xie Huiyang scampered over to Lu Xinnuan’s seat and prepared to take her name down with the notebook in his hand with an amorous look.

All the girls in the class were jealous.

Everyone in the class knew that Lu Xinnuan was close to Su Jue, that they were from the same circle.

Especially the girls. They all wanted to go, but they dared not register. Su Jue did not like dealing with girls; the only person whom he treated differently was Lu Xinnuan.

Lu Xinnuan felt good, but she pursed her lips at the thought of what Su Jue had said to her earlier that day. She looked at Su Jue shyly, secretly waiting for him to go over and invite her.

But Su Jue did not move at all. After a while, she could only shake her head. “You boys go ahead and have fun…”

Her words were carefully chosen.

It was not a clear rejection, so it made her look good. Besides, her words made clear that it was a boys only gathering.

That crushed the hopes of any of the girls who wanted to attend.

Many of the girls gave up hopes of going.

What right did they have to go if Lu Xinnuan was not going?

“Xinnuan, why aren’t you going?” Lu Xinnuan’s tablemate, Zeng Na, shook her arm excitedly. “It’s just a meal!”

“I…”

“If you’re not going, where’s the fun in that!” Xie Huiyang put his arms up.

Zeng Na nodded in agreement. She was counting on tagging along to the gathering on account of Lu Xinnuan.

This persisted until Su Jue got up from his seat and walked over to Lu Xinnuan’s table under the eyes of all their classmates.

Lu Xinnuan’s heartbeat increased as she repressed her excitement.

“Come along for lunch.” Su Jue said plainly, but before Lu Xinnuan could rejoice, he added on. “Ask Lu Mian along.”

Lu Xinnuan’s beautiful face froze instantly.

“She…” Lu Xinnuan clenched her fists tightly and nodded as she tried to keep everything in. “Okay, I’ll try.”

No one else understood their conversation, but they were a little curious.

Who was Lu Mian?

Why did it feel like Lu Xinnuan was just invited by extension?

Lu Xinnuan agreed to it seemingly nonchalantly, but she resented Lu Mian for it.

She had already chased her out, but why was she still hanging around?!

Her presence was even enhanced.

If that was the case…

Fine, Lu Mian should come!

She was going to let Lu Mian know once and for all how big the difference between the two of them was!
