The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Worthy of the Title “Genius

The chubby and skinny brothers could no longer hold back and patted Fu Man’s shoulder in front of them.

“Auntie, can’t you see that Lu Xinnuan is jealous of her own sister? Aren’t you going to do something about this?”

“Auntie, don’t be too biased in your treatment!”

Their words seemed to hit Fu Man’s sore spot. Her expression turned sour as she said in a low voice, “Don’t talk nonsense! Nuannuan isn’t jealous! She’s just telling the truth!”

That was what she said, but she also glanced nervously in Lu Xinnuan’s direction, with a pleading look in her eyes, silently begging her not to continue.

She knew very well that no matter whether the events of the past were true or false, no one here would believe Lu Mian; it was too far-fetched.

Bringing up the past now would only bring more negativity to the Lu Family…

Lu Xinnuan was aware of Fu Man’s mindset, but she couldn’t control herself.

Watching Lu Mian come back and gradually display her abilities, seeing her get better and closer to the Su Family, stealing the spotlight that once belonged to her, she really couldn’t sit still any longer.

She wanted everyone present to witness that even if Lu Mian had won the competition now, as a child she had still done something dishonorable.

Let’s see how she’ll be able to hold her head high after this, let’s see if Grandpa Su will still help Lu Mian!

Lu Xinnuan masked the excitement fluttering in her heart and looked sincerely at Old Master Su.

However, she did not see the rage or face-turning she had envisioned. Instead, Grandpa Su’s demeanor seemed more… excited?!

What was going on?!

Old Su Qinghe’s aged cheeks shone brightly, his murky eyes filled with admiration and excitement.

He leaned on his cane and said with full breath, “Now, do you all understand why Lu Mian is a special invitee?”

???

The crowd was bewildered. What did that have to do with anything?

Unable to contain his joy, Su Qinghe nodded and explained: “Since Mianmian’s own sister has come forward, I won’t keep her secrets any longer. Yes, when she was four years old, she really did play chess with an old man, and she was quite impressive!”

“???”

Lu Xinnuan suddenly became flustered and stood there unprepared. What was Grandpa Su talking about?

“Grandpa Su, why would you say that?” Lu Xinnuan forced a smile.

“Because I was right there by her side! At the time, I thought to myself, this child is extraordinary. If she’s properly nurtured, she’ll definitely achieve greatness! For the word ‘prodigy,’ Mianmian is truly deserving of it!”

The crowd erupted into murmurs.

Fu Man was dumbfounded.

Lu Xinnuan was completely stunned.

How could this be…

She wasn’t trying to praise Lu Mian, this wasn’t the plot she had imagined!

She almost blurted these words out, only to bite her lip too late, her expression showing great grievance.

Su Qinghe continued to talk endlessly.

“She was only four years old, and she forced her opponent into a corner. Oh, and I even recorded a video at the time. I’ve kept it for so many years, and finally, I have the chance to share it with you all. Su Jue, quickly connect to the computer and show everyone!”

Lu Mian, while rotating the chess pieces, paused momentarily, her expression slightly disdainful.

They had even recorded a video…

Once the video came out, everyone became silent, their intense gazes fixed on Lu Mian, showing nothing but utter respect!

If everyone initially felt that Old Su was showing favoritism towards Lu Mian, the video immediately proved them wrong.

Lu Mian was indeed that capable, impressively so since she was little!

No one could deny it!

In the audience, Fu Man stared at the large screen playing the video, clutching her chest tightly, and two clear tears rolled down.

In her blank mind, the only thing that exploded was the voice of a four-year-old little angel.

“Mommy, believe me, I really won it on my own. I can play Go again to show you…”

“Mommy, I didn’t steal anything…”

“Mommy, can you take my side just once?”

“Mom, I was wrong.”
