Chapter 1062 - 1061: Grandpa Mo’s Vest, Dropped
Ge Yu only knew that there was a person in Jinjing called Master Mo, the famous heir of the Xiao Family, Xiao Qimo.
Apart from him, no one in the entire capital dared to call themselves by this title.
As for noble families that can call themselves by name, no matter who it is, they are scrambling to associate themselves with the Xiao Family and Master Mo. This represents a certain identity and status. Whoever becomes an ally of the Xiao Family will be courted and flattered by the entire circle of nobility.
Climbing up the Xiao Family means great success.
No one wants to oppose the Xiao Family.
Unless they no longer want to mingle in Z Country.
Even the other two Supreme Clans: the Ye Family and the Li Family don't have the absolute confidence to confront the Xiao Family.
And he just...
Ge Yu felt dizzy as he stared at the tall man with a powerful aura in front of him.
He heard Lu Yutian respectfully call the man Master Mo, unable to believe he had offended such a significant figure.
Lu Yutian hadn't even noticed Ge Yu behind her, she was merely persistently trying to intercept Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian, arguing for herself: "Master Mo, you're ranked second on the hacker leaderboard. Why do you insist on restoring that unimportant surveillance? I haven't done anything that violates conscience from start to finish, and I haven't directly targeted Lu Mian. Why are you treating me this way?"
If Xiao Qimo hadn't restored the video, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament...
Xiao Qimo turned his head, squinting slightly as he scrutinized Lu Yutian, thinking she had problems.
"Regardless of whether directly or indirectly, opposing my fiancée is a crime."
The mention of "death" by the opponent with cold and merciless ruthlessness made Lu Yutian's breath hitch. She had never felt that what she did amounted to a matter of life and death.
She had never thought that anyone could threaten the life of her, the eldest daughter of the Lu Family.
"Master Mo." Facing the man's eyes filled with killing intent, Lu Yutian tried to maintain composure, "My grandfather and your grandfather are old acquaintances, my aunt is your mother's close friend, my brother Yun Sang is your brother, do all these relationships combined not matter more than Lu Mian?"
Lu Mian intertwined her fingers with Xiao Qimo's, tilting her head mysteriously.
What's this comparison?
She thought these things were incapable of being measured, let alone should not be measured together.
But the man beside her showed no hesitation, nearly heartless in giving Lu Yutian an answer.
"Yes, to me, Lu Mian is the most important." He said calmly, "My grandfather has many old acquaintances, losing one doesn't matter. Aunt Yun really likes Mianmian; she might not stand by you. As for Yun Sang, do you believe once he knows what happened today, he'll be even more ruthless than me?"
Lu Yutian swayed, struck at her most painful spot.
"I..." She opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.
Behind her stood the Elite Class students and the Applied Physics students who had just chased out.
They heard these words loud and clear.
Everyone was silent, stunned.
Because... it seemed like they had discovered something significant.
Especially Qiao Yaning and Wang Shiwei, descendants of second-tier families, none of them were unaware of Xiao Qimo's fame.
Most of them had no chance of meeting Master Mo, nor even the opportunity to see him, but everyone was taught by their families, not to have any conflicts with the Xiao Family or Master Mo.
Qiao Yaning didn't expect that the man held in high regard would appear just like that.
Appearing as Lu Mian's boyfriend... fiancé, appearing multiple times in the physics training classes, Chixia Sect's military training, Qing University Campus...
She finally understood why this man had such capability, why he could decide others' life, death, and future with a single word.
Turns out, he was Master Mo!
He was the Master Mo whose mere footstep could make the entire Jinjing tremble!
And Wang Shiwei's expression was even richer because today's event led her to be alienated by classmates, she dumbly stared in the direction of Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo.
Turns out, Lu Mian was even more formidable than she imagined.
No wonder she could be so arrogant and brazen, so reckless; because she had an awesome boyfriend!
If she had such a boyfriend, she could be this bold too!
Xiao Qimo's identity revealed shock and awe for most people.
But for Ge Yu, it was a disaster.
He stood like a stone in bewilderment for quite some time, finally unable to bear it, rushing forward like a madman.
He grabbed Lu Yutian, shaking her furiously with all his might.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me he was Master Mo? You knew his identity, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
If he had known the man's identity earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have been so arrogant.
If he had recognized the power disparity earlier, he wouldn't have staked his family to create upheaval with Lu Yutian.
Now, the family's business was gone.
The goddess he followed all along also revealed her true colors.
Furthermore, she knew Master Mo's identity all along yet wouldn't even warned him.
What does this mean?!
Lu Yutian was strangled by Ge Yu until her arm was bruised, she screamed out: "Let go of me! Ge Yu, you're mad! You're hurting me!"
"Hurt?" Ge Yu's eyes seemed to pop out, veins bulging, "My heart hurts more! Am I blind to fall for a disgusting woman like you? I must be crazy to bet my family's business on defending you! And you? What did you give me? Don't even talk about supporting me, you wouldn't even give me a word of comfort, or show any kindness!"
Actually, those things were secondary.
The important thing was that Lu Yutian deliberately concealed Xiao Qimo's identity, and some disasters clearly could be avoided, yet she callously sacrificed him without any concern, without a second thought.
Lu Yutian felt like she'd been shaken into a concussion, unable to escape, she sought help from the Elite Class boys.
"Why are you standing there dumbfounded, come save me... Hurry, get this lunatic away!"
The Elite Class boys saw this, yet none of them moved.
They were all boys, who fully understood Ge Yu's situation. There were even quite a few in the Elite Class who secretly liked Lu Yutian, and under these circumstances, they all felt like their genuine hearts were fed to the dogs.
When the goddess turned into dung, all the gentleness and tolerance vanished.
Ge Yu held onto Lu Yutian, shaking her for a long time, before finally coming to his senses and shoved her out.
Lu Yutian fell headfirst onto the ground, in an extremely awkward position.
Ge Yu hurriedly stepped up to Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian, and with a thud, knelt down.
"Master Mo! Miss Lu! I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong! I beg you to give my family a way to live! I beg you, I really was wrong!"
"It was a moment of misjudgment, falling in love with trash, I've woken up now, I shouldn't have alienated Miss Lu, I shouldn't have continuously opposed Miss Lu. Master Mo, I beg you to spare my family! The trouble is mine alone, punish me however you like, please give my dad and mom a way to live! I will never again use my family background to bully others..."
