The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Once Mian Ge Takes Action, You’ll Know If There Is Any

Twenty million.

As Lu Xinnuan listened to that cool, clear voice, those three words drifted out, and she was already stunned. Her brain was too frozen to function, even less able to accept Lu Mian’s decision.

The financial difficulties of her childhood had always made her very conscious of money. After experiencing a kidnapping incident, her family’s situation had become even more dire, where even producing three thousand yuan involved a struggle, leaving them silent in their misery.

And Lu Mian, Lu Mian with twenty million yuan in her grasp, so casually, so airily, so nonchalantly, donated it away.

The feeling was like winning a ten-million-yuan lottery, only to have the ticket torn to shreds right before your eyes!

Had Lu Mian gone mad?

What was she doing?

Couldn’t she have used that money for something else, why donate it?!

Even if she had kept some money for the family, why donate it all?!

Principal Zhang on the other end of the phone was also taken aback. A 19-year-old student, casually offering a donation of twenty million yuan, was absolutely unprecedented.

He tried his best to make his tone sound less incredulous, and kept apologizing over the phone with a smile.

“Lu Mian, are you sure?”

“Sure, it’s not a lot of money,” she said with a lightness in her voice, as if it were of little consequence.

Well, well!

This little ancestor was indeed making a grand gesture.

Principal Zhang naturally could not contain his joy and happily agreed.

“However, I have a few ideas I’d like to discuss,” Lu Mian said, her lips curling into an exceptionally wicked smile. Her indifferent gaze swept casually over Lu Xinnuan.

In her eyes, Lu Xinnuan did not exist, yet her every word and moment seemed to chafe against her, punishing her.

Lu Xinnuan stood with her mouth agape, unable to utter a sound.

Lu Mian, however, was unhurried and at some point, had acquired a leaf in her hand, which she was crushing idly as she spoke.

“Out of this twenty million, ten million will go towards helping impoverished students. Another ten million will set up a scholarship to reward outstanding students; I’ll discuss the specifics with you another day.”

Her tone was not that of a student’s toward a principal.

Arrogant and presumptuous, defiant and domineering.

“Okay… okay, as you say,” Principal Zhang still humored and accommodated her, not finding anything wrong with her tone at all.

He was fully aware that this was someone whom the Education Bureau shielded, a person whose word could transfer a senior year homeroom teacher. He, as the principal, also had to coax her kindly.

Lu Xinnuan’s emotions were crumbling even more.

Lu Mian glanced at her, the rebellious curve at her lips growing wider and deeper. She said leisurely, “How about we call the scholarship the ‘Lu Mian Scholarship’ then?”

It was deliberate, so what?

“Done! We’ll do as you say!”

And just like that, casually and hastily, the twenty-million-yuan donation was decided upon, as if it were no more significant than buying and selling cabbages.

The overweight and thin brothers were nearly ready to kneel down to Lu Mian.

With just a single move from Sister Mian, you could tell it was not without a cause.

Her maneuver was far more powerful than if they had insulted Lu Xinnuan a hundred or a thousand times!

Cool enough, and a real slap in the face!

Isn’t Lu Xinnuan after money? Then she should just study hard and aim for the scholarship, nobody is stopping her from learning!

In the end, the scholarship certificate will clearly state: Lu Mian Scholarship.

Just the thought of that scene is thrilling!

“Sister Mian, when we get back I’ll have my dad donate five million to the school too! It’s for a good cause and my dad will have no objections!” Shouhao declared, not to be outdone, his fervor matching his commitment to stay in step with Lu Mian.

Pang Hao also raised his hand high, eager to offer, “My dad might not have money, but my mom’s a businesswoman, she has money! Sister Mian, my family will also give five million!”
