Chapter 443: Chapter 442: Trust Lu Mian, You Can’t Go Wrong!
The way the others sought advice from Lu Mian on everything left colleagues like Bi Jun, Xiu Qian, and Wan Haixiang somewhat at a loss.
So, what exactly is their relationship?!
Lu Mian rose from the sofa with an air of nonchalance, “If Professor Wan is willing to apologize, I might consider returning to class.”
She had effectively reversed the roles.
However Wan Haixiang had threatened her before, she was now returning the favor.
“…” Wan Haixiang did not misunderstand; he kept wiping his sweaty forehead in front of Xiao Qimo and quickly, though reluctantly, caved in.
“Lu Mian, I’m wrong about this issue!
You did the right thing…”
He truly apologized; although there were other complex reasons forcing him to do so, Lu Mian expressed her acceptance.
She smiled, “Alright then, please go ahead and finish today’s lecture and don’t show up in the competition class anymore, it wouldn’t be good to lead the students astray.”
Wan Haixiang gritted his teeth and nodded deeply.
Xiao Qimo simply watched, his face filled with a gentle warmth.
Xiu Qian: …
That marked the end of the matter.
Bi Jun found it all rather surreal, originally thinking Lu Mian was doomed, only to see Professor Wan being the one to leave.
He respectfully saw Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian off and let out a long sigh of relief.
He wondered if Lu Mian would be angry with him…
—-
Xiao Qimo did not let Lu Mian resume her class and instead escorted her back to her room.
Lu Mian was tired anyway, so she agreed obediently.
Entering the room, she remembered there was a heat patch stuck to her clothes.
She fumbled around for a bit and peeled off a heat patch.
Xiao Qimo stared at the ugly object in her hand.
She had already thrown it in the trash can, but Xiao Qimo went over to inspect it for quite a while.
“What is this?” It appeared ad-hoc, yet it didn’t seem to match a girl’s style.
Lu Mian didn’t hide it from him, “Oh, a heat patch, made by Xiu Qian on the spot.”
“Xiu Qian…” Xiao Qimo rolled the name on his tongue, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes.
He then cracked a slight smile, the epitome of composed elegance.
“You rest first; we’ll talk later if there’s anything,” he said.
Lu Mian grunted in acknowledgment, nodded, and obediently lay down on the bed.
She began to play the slug.
—-
Xiao Qimo left her room, and there was Xiu Qian, who had come over and not left, as if waiting for him.
His presence didn’t surprise Xiao Qimo; he strode forward with long steps, with Xiu Qian trailing behind.
Xiu Qian’s attitude was much improved from the last time, and the first words he spoke were a soft, “Uncle.”
Then he got straight to the point, “Uncle, could you attend the post-New Year’s promotional event?
The company needs you, I’m begging you!”
Xiao Qimo’s mind was full of images of Xiu Qian making the heat patch for Lu Mian, and he was feeling jealous.
How could he possibly agree to such an unreasonable request?!
He turned and stared at him intently, “I’ve already given my answer last time; do not ask the same question again.”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeve and left coldly.
Xiu Qian just stood there, watching him, his expression turning bitter long after Xiao Qimo’s figure had vanished.
Even he couldn’t persuade Xiao Qimo.
It seemed that the company’s promotional event was likely to end in failure…
It was laughable that although Xiu Qian was related by blood to Xiao Qimo as his nephew, their branch of the family had no right to even carry the Xiao surname.
This involved a secret from the Xiao Family’s past.
The person who had been known as Xiao Qian for so many years was now just Xiu Qian, stripped of his surname and expelled from the Xiao Family.
“`
Although he still bore the surname “Xiao,” his “Xiao” was far from matching the prestige of this particular “Xiao.”
Xiao Qian concealed the hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
——
The classmates in the classroom were all waiting for the teacher and Xiao Qian to return.
Everyone was guessing that Lu Mian this time would be kicked out of the training class.
However, when Wan Haixiang came back, his expression was gloomy and no longer bore the semblance of a professor.
Wan Haixiang looked at the group of curious students staring at him and sighed deeply.
“Let’s continue the lesson,” he had to finish today’s curriculum.
Yet as his gaze swept over the empty seats of Lu Mian and Xiao Qian, a flood of complex emotions overwhelmed him.
Everyone: ???
What’s with the professor?
The students were still in disbelief when, turning their heads, they saw a man standing outside the classroom.
Instantly, a low scream erupted from a girl in the quiet classroom.
“Ah, ah, ah, he…
he’s so handsome!”
Following her voice, everyone curiously looked outside.
Wan Haixiang also glanced over there, and when he saw Xiao Qimo’s elegant yet icy handsome face, his heart tightened.
He understood, the other party was here to warn him.
However, the students had guessed the man’s identity from his behavior alone, and the screaming grew even more frantic.
“He’s our investor!
Gosh, he’s so young!”
“Real-life domineering CEO!”
“So, all these things we have now, it’s all because of Xiao Qian bringing them to us!”
Fang Xilan was also craning her neck to look outside, and when she saw Xiao Qimo, she thought heavily: If only such a rich person would share some of his wealth with her…
Even a little scraped from beneath his fingernails would be enough for her entire family to live comfortably!

Xiao Qimo had only stood at the door for a few seconds before leaving with one hand in his pocket.
He had a headache, realizing that even being so close to Lu Mian, some things remained beyond prevention.
Xiao Qian warmed her with his own body heat, Xiao Qian did her problems for her, explained on her behalf.
Thinking about these, he closed his eyes deeply, he did not want Lu Mian to continue training here either…
Everyone stared straight at him until they could no longer see his figure.
Before the man left, Wan Haixiang had received a signal from Xiao Qimo and quickly cleared his throat, tapping on the desk, “Before we continue with the lesson, I must offer a solemn apology to Lu Mian.
I and the teaching research team were in error, Lu Mian clung to the truth, and she did very well.
Students must not remember the wrong answer; now I will explain the correct answer to everyone again…”
Then—
The class erupted into commotion.
How did Professor Wan change so much after just stepping out?
He even declared that Lu Mian was right, and that the professor and the research team’s answer was wrong!
So…
All those who had mocked Lu Mian for making a fuss over nothing, who had not believed in Lu Mian, had their faces ruthlessly slapped.
It turned out that Lu Mian’s persistence was indeed right!
Zhang Yanyan was feeling very proud at the moment, happily nodding his head, he had said early on that Lu Mian was like a little fairy.
Believing in her was the right thing to do!
At this time, Xiao Qian also walked back into the classroom, carrying an obvious chill with him.
He jotted down two names in his notebook: one was Lu Mian, the other was Xiao Qimo.
The tip of his pen pressed deeply onto the two characters “Lu Mian,” encircling them.
So, what exactly was the relationship between these two?
