Su Jue fell short in his imposing aura.

The Su family was considered a respectable family in Wu City and had some influence in Capital Jin.

However, when they were compared to the real wealthy family from Capital Jin, their authority was worth nothing.

“Mr. Ye, please.” He knew his worth and took the initiative to make a path for them.

When the others saw this situation, they did not dare say anything but were pretty indignant.

They only let Lu Mian off to give face to Mr. Ye.

However, when they saw that even the Mr. Ye whom Young Master Su was afraid of had actually made way and let Lu Mian walk first in a bootlicking manner.

This Lu Mian did not even care about him.

The crowd felt that this was too unreal.

Su Jue watched on in shock as the duo left, and when he recovered his senses, his back was already drenched in sweat. However, he did not embarrass himself in public as he was still a child of a wealthy family that had received good education after all.

He knew Ye Jinwen. Everytime he went to the Su family, Grandpa would attend to him personally, and he and his father had no rights to barge into their conversation.

He did not expect Lu Mian to know such a person, and to even be so close to him.

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, Lu Xinnuan went up and asked softly, “Su Jue, who was that?”

“Doctor Ye Jinwen.”

“Doctor Ye?” A glint flashed past Lu Xinnuan’s eyes as he thought of something. When Lu Mian was a distance away, she said slowly, “So he’s Lu Mian’s psychologist…”

“Psychologist?”

The surrounding students’ interests were piqued. They were originally upset with Lu Mian, so they were willing to hear her gossip.

Looking at the circle of curious eyes, Lu Xinnuan shook her head. “I don’t know the details, but I coincidentally found out that Lu Mian… Anyway, Doctor Ye is her psychologist.”

“She had gone for treatment for some time already,” added Lu Xinnuan.

Su Jue stood on the stairs and knitted his brows towards Lu Xinnuan, while his eyes were pretty cold.

Lu Xinnuan felt even more terrible. However, she had already said those words and she did not even lie, so why was he looking at her in that manner?

She tried her best to straighten her back.

“It turns out, Lu Mian has a mental illness…”

The bunch of nosy students broke into quiet discussions.

“Is it depression or mania or some other mental illness? I long felt that this Lu Mian was not normal.”

“Young Master Su, let’s stay away from Lu Mian in the future. That girl is too evil.” Xie Huiyang said the same. He had also felt that Su Jue was slightly different towards Lu Mian. Then, he even pouted and advised Su Jue, “They both have the last name ‘Lu’, but our favorite goddess, Xinnuan, is much better than Lu Mian.”

“Really?” retorted Su Jue lightly, and the gaze he looked at Lu Xinnuan with became colder.

Even if he was humiliated and disliked by Lu Mian, he was not despicable enough to use such a thing against a girl.

Besides, Lu Mian only came back two years after being kidnapped. She was a victim herself.

Su Jue squinted his eyes towards a group of classmates and commanded, “Don’t spread anything about Doctor Ye and Lu Mian.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The crowd could not defy him and naturally kept their mouths shut.

When the crowd had gradually walked towards the restaurant, Su Jue stayed back and warned Lu Xinnuan, “Some people aren’t as simple as you think. You better watch out for yourself.”

“I… Su Jue!” Lu Xinnuan ran after him, but when she saw Su Jue’s cold back view, she felt that the thing she wanted to grab onto tightly had drifted further and further away…

Why did Lu Mian have to come back?

If she did not, things would not have ended up in this way…
