The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 154: Chapter 153: What Is He Upset About?

The three-year-old baby looked at her parents, bewildered.

Her parents were equally bewildered, seeming as if they had inadvertently offended Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo insisted, “Call me brother!”

The little girl compromised and sweetly called out, “Uncle Brother!”

Certain uncle: “…”

Lu Mian didn’t understand why he was so insistent on the title, but she found it quite amusing and let out a light laugh.

When she turned her head, she saw Xiao Qimo tossing a bag of fruit over in a sour mood, which he accurately threw into her shopping basket.

Before she could say anything, the man slightly bent over and naturally took the shopping basket from her.

Lu Mian: What’s he sulking about?

The two hadn’t said much, but when they bumped into each other by chance, they naturally ended up together, waiting to check out.

The conversation of a family of three in front of them floated over clearly.

“Daddy, daddy, I want to be the Guardian God of Wucheng when I grow up!” The little girl was babbling, some of her words not pronounced correctly, but understandable.

The young father said with a chuckle, “Sure, Mianmian will be the great hero of Wucheng!”

At the mention of this Guardian God of Wucheng, the few customers queuing in front also turned around, chatting to pass the time.

“This Guardian God has done a lot of good deeds for the people! I heard that he took down the local thugs!”

“Exactly, doing good without leaving a name, such noble integrity!”

“I saw in the news, that recently appointed deputy director said they have formed a special team to find this Guardian God at all costs!”

“That’s great, when the time comes, we definitely have to properly honor this Guardian God!”

The topic was lively among everyone, but Lu Mian isolated herself from the conversation, playing a game on her phone with a detached expression.

Xiao Qimo shifted the shopping basket from his left hand to his right and glanced at her from the corner of his eye, “It seems that the Guardian God of Wucheng has really won the hearts of the people.”

“Uh huh, yeah.” She responded noncommittally.

“Do you want to know who he is?”

“…” Lu Mian slowly raised her little face, smiling innocently, “I do.”

“…” Xiao Qimo’s gaze became a bit more complicated as he looked away.

The supermarket was getting more and more crowded, and the queue was growing longer. Seeing her become a bit impatient, Xiao Qimo suggested that she wait at the entrance instead.

Lu Mian nodded, said, “I’ll transfer the money to you later,” and walked out.

Soon it was Xiao Qimo’s turn to check out.

The cashier, while scanning the barcodes, shyly glanced at him, smitten.

Xiao Qimo’s features were cold and stern as he took each item out of the basket, but when he reached the last two packets of chopsticks, he paused.

“Sir?” The cashier waited for him.

The man paused for a moment, expressionless as he threw the chopsticks far away, and said calmly, “Check out.”

Upon returning home, Lu Mian had the lunch sent by Handsome Yu and then fired up her computer.

A text message from Old Su had already come, and after she logged into her account, she added the other party as a friend. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The other side seemed to be waiting for her and accepted the request quickly.

When she saw the message from the other party, Lu Mian’s expression suddenly became puzzled.

[Hello, teacher. I am Su Luo, Old Su’s granddaughter.]

emmm…

Su Luo wanted to learn programming from her?

Lu Mian casually picked up a pen from the table, leaned back in her chair, and her lips curved into a wicked and unrestrained smirk.

She twirled the pen in one hand while rapidly typing a line with the other on the keyboard.

[Tutoring fee: 10,000 per hour]

Both Su Luo and Su Jue on the other side of the computer were taken aback, thinking that the expert their grandfather had found must indeed be a big name in the industry, with a high fee to match.

But since it was someone their grandfather had found, they naturally trusted him completely.

Su Jue felt pained about the money.

However, Su Luo didn’t hesitate much and transferred the money generously.

If the other party had true skills and could crack Lu Mian’s account and group number, what was a little money considered?
