The Adventures of My All-Rounder Wife

Lu Yutian left with a cold look and a sullen face.

Meanwhile, Lu Mian, having sensed Lu Yutian's gaze, had already noticed the situation. As for the comments from those Elite Class students, she had heard them all.

Shu Shu rolled her eyes indignantly, "What's so great about it? It's just knowing someone. Our Mianmian can attend the lectures on her own merit."

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mian's eyes flickered slightly under her long eyelashes, with a smile that was a bit hard to interpret: "This time it's not based on merit."

The others hadn't quite grasped what he meant, but they saw Lu Mian take out his phone and make a call.

He simply and straightforwardly asked the person to come to the school cafeteria.

Sui Yuan curiously asked, "Mianmian, who did you call?"

Lu Mian smiled, "You'll know in a moment."

About five minutes later, a hurried figure appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria.

The person's hair was blown messy, and after entering the cafeteria, he looked around and finally locked eyes with Lu Mian. He strode over with big steps.

Sui Yuan, Shu Shu, and Qiao Yaning looked up to see a blond-haired, blue-eyed gentleman.

Before they could greet him, the gentleman politely spoke first, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry I'm late."

"You're not late; you're just on time."

Lu Mian gestured for him to sit, and the man smiled as he introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Dashiell."

"What, you're, you're Mr. Dashiell?"

Shu Shu, Sui Yuan, and Qiao Yaning exchanged glances, finally understanding what "not based on merit" meant.

Not based on merit, but on connections.

And this connection seemed pretty solid.

With just a casual phone call, Lu Mian managed to summon a neuroscientist over. That's the influence of a big shot!

Thinking about how Lu Yutian was so polite to an assistant earlier, while their Mianmian brought the scientist himself, the three girls felt inexplicably satisfied.

Lu Yutian and Mianmian were simply not on the same level.

Even the boys from the Elite Class over there noticed, craning their necks to look over with curiosity.

By the time Lu Yutian walked by with Bo En again, the boys, somewhat teasingly, pointed in Lu Mian's direction, and Lu Yutian followed their gaze.

At that sight, she almost couldn't hold her tray steady.

Wasn't that Mr. Dashiell?

He wasn't there just now, how is he suddenly sitting with Lu Mian?

What is Lu Mian's relationship with Dashiell?

But Bo En beside her had already walked over to stand next to Dashiell and respectfully asked in English, "Sir, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see a friend. Let me introduce you; this is Miss Lu Mian I've been telling you about."

Bo En's eyes lit up with surprise, "Miss Lu, you're going to take the intelligence test?"

Lu Mian paused and then spoke, "These two gentlemen, I have a few good friends and some classmates from two classes who would like to attend your lecture—"

Before Lu Mian could finish, Dashiell understood her meaning, "Alright, alright, no problem, bring all your friends over! As many as you can!"

How could he refuse Lu Mian's request, bringing friends over was a favor to him, something he couldn't ask for more!

Thus, Lu Mian single-handedly managed to take two classes of students and a bunch of good friends to the lecture.

Assistant Bo En was left dumbfounded; since when did Mr. Dashiell open up his lectures like this? All invited attendees were handpicked outstanding students and successful individuals, but with Lu Mian, it was so casual and indulgent.

Sui Yuan, Shu Shu, and Qiao Yaning were inexplicably winning by doing nothing.

They collectively gave a thumbs up: Awesome!

The boys from the Elite Class beside them were excited as if they'd won the lottery; they had originally decided not to attend the lecture, but unexpectedly, Lu Mian remembered them.

And they all got to go as a full class!

Could Lu Yutian have achieved this? Could she have taken two classes along with her?

At this moment, they finally understood that Lu Mian was just outwardly aloof, but inwardly kind and gentle.

And they clearly understood that if they had just aligned themselves with Lu Yutian again, the outcome would certainly be different from now.

In the end, everyone benefited from Lu Mian's influence.

Meanwhile, Lu Yutian felt extremely uncomfortable watching Dashiell chatting and laughing with Lu Mian.

She was only allowed to entertain assistants, while Lu Mian could entertain Dashiell personally.

The difference was vast, known only to her heart.

She did not approach, only thinking to herself: Lu Mian, just wait. When it comes to the intelligence test, you'll see who the real champion is.

Even though Grandpa had Xiaoyang remind her not to provoke Lu Mian for a month, if Lu Mian wanted to disgrace herself and walk into trouble, it had nothing to do with her.

——

In the afternoon after class, Lu Mian, as usual, went to the lab to find Xiao Qimo.

The man, while conducting an experiment, casually asked, "That 'Hermit' username, is it yours?"

Xiao Qimo was now conditioned to associate any alias with his wife.

Dashiell had asked before, but he wanted to confirm it with Lu Mian in private again to avoid any surprises.

Lu Mian smiled helplessly, "Why do you all ask me this? I've already said it's not me."

Xiao Qimo paused, somewhat skeptical, "Is it something you did while drunk and don't remember?"

There have been situations like that before; you can never be too careful.

Seeing Xiao Qimo so wary, Lu Mian chuckled brightly; her clear and vibrant voice was particularly pleasant to hear.

Her pristine and exquisite smile, along with her perfectly streamlined jawline, almost made the man opposite mess up his experiment.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No."

Lu Mian stepped closer, placed one hand on his shoulder, and lightly hooked a finger under his chin.

The stunning young woman, with a teasing smile, said, "Director Qi, you're so cute."

Xiao Qimo: ...

He, an imposing CEO, a God of Death who doesn't blink an eye while killing, was being called cute?

Xiao Qimo accepted it; after all, it was a compliment.

"So, tell me the truth, is 'Hermit' your alias? It's just the two of us now, I'm mentally prepared."

"Of course not, I haven't had a drink in a long time."

To prove her innocence, Lu Mian even logged into her forum account in front of Xiao Qimo, showing that the email and phone number weren't registered.

"So it's really not you... That's good." Xiao Qimo finally felt relieved, "The lecture this time shouldn't have any big issues, right?"

Lu Mian pondered seriously, "It shouldn't."

At night, Lu Mian was lying on her dorm bed when a special notification sound came from her phone, unmistakably from an IEG internal message.

She opened it to find a message from Team Three.
