Chapter 1073 - 1072: Is there anyone with a higher IQ than Lu Yutian?
Li Xinghan couldn't think of anything and struggled to speak, "Could it be that you've seen the movies I acted in?"
"Ha..."
Accompanied by this cold, mocking laugh, Lu Mian swiftly stood up and deftly took Shu Shu's phone from Li Xingran's hand, leading the three girls decisively out of the private room.
At this moment, Li Xingran and the others finally reacted, hurriedly helping Li Xinghan up from the floor.
"This Lu Mian is too much! How dare she lay hands on you!" Li Xingran didn't realize whom she had offended, and angrily said, "You're the rightful heir of the Li Family, what's so special about Lu Mian? Do you mean to say our Li Family isn't worthy enough to collaborate with a mere composer like her?!"
As she spoke, she became more incensed, even feeling an urge to blacklist Mi Lu.
Li Xinghan's breath deepened, angrily looking at Li Xingran, "Have you caused enough trouble?!"
"Xinghan, are you blaming me? Aren't I doing this for your sake? Besides, you are the heir of the Li Family, one of the three Supreme Clans. Why are you humbly trying to please a small-time composer?! Without her, wouldn't our family's entertainment company still make you famous nationwide?"
Li Xinghan let out a sneer, "What's the deal with the Li Family? Does the Li Family think it's so mighty?"
Does the Li Family truly believe their rise to power is spotless?!
"Brother Xinghan..."
"Brother Xinghan..."
Several weak voices sounded in the private room; after all, there were others present, so Li Xinghan ultimately said nothing more.
But disappointment and blame were evident in his eyes as he glanced around the circle of people.
The fans lowered their heads in guilt.
Xu Duo dared not breathe heavily.
Only Wang Cheng had something to say, whispering to Li Xinghan, "Brother Xinghan, if worse comes to worst, why don't you try some charm..."
Li Xinghan touched his chin, seriously considering this suggestion.
The fans: ???
Confirmed! The agent is encouraging the artist to use unspoken rules!
The key point is that the artist looks full of anticipation, what the heck?!
At this time, Wang Shiwei, who had always been ignored, stood up, yielding and humble, comforting Li Xingran. Hearing this, she looked at Li Xinghan and said, "Brother Xinghan, I'm afraid that won't work. Lu Mian has a fiancé, and it's none other than Master Xiao Qimo of the Xiao Family..."
"What?" It was only at this point that Li Xingran took it seriously, "Are you saying that Lu Mian's fiancé is Xiao Qimo?"
As part of the three Supreme Clans, although the Li Family never interacted with the Xiao Family, Li Xingran knew of Xiao Qimo.
"No wonder she's so arrogant..." She suddenly realized.
Li Xinghan lost another way to please his idol, and besides feeling disappointed, he recalled seeing Mi Lu and a man holding hands at a music festival.
The man's presence was also powerful, making Li Xinghan break out in a cold sweat at the time.
Turns out, that man was Master Xiao Qimo.
Li Xinghan reminisced about that gaze, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.
"I feel like I've seen them somewhere before..."
Wang Cheng helplessly comforted him, "Are you obsessed? Better think about how to win back Mr. Mi Lu. If the outside world finds out you've been blacklisted by Mi Lu, half the music industry won't dare to work with you!"
"Sigh, I'll try to think of another way..." Li Xinghan rubbed his temples, feeling exasperated, and finally snapped at Li Xingran, Wang Shiwei, and other fans, "It's all your fault!"
A bunch of holdbacks!

Lu Mian, with Sui Yuan, Shu Shu, and Qiao Yaning, exited the private room and asked, "I have another dinner tonight, do you want to come with me?"
The three girls shook their heads one after another.
"No, no, we won't disturb you."
Sui Yuan also said, "Mianmian, it's getting late, we should head back to school."
"Okay, I'll call a car for you." Lu Mian nodded while opening her phone.
Shu Shu and Qiao Yaning didn't understand what she meant by calling a car, and quickly declined, "No need, Mianmian, taxi apps are convenient, we can call one ourselves—"
Before they finished, they heard Lu Mian speaking into her phone with an irrefutable tone, "Dongyang, come to Jintun Club and take Yuanyuan and the others back to school."
Shu Shu: ...
Qiao Yaning: ...
So that's what the big shot meant by calling a car, guess they're not worthy.
In less than ten minutes, Dongyang arrived in Lu Mian's azure car to pick up Sui Yuan and the other two.
Qiao Yaning, raised in a family, noticed the car's logo and interior as she got in, exclaiming, "This car seems to be a limited edition..."
Shu Shu gasped and cautiously settled onto her seat.
"In that case, I had better not move around recklessly."
Lu Mian: ...
After seeing her friends off, she returned to the top-floor private room to find Xiao Qimo and Dashiell.
Their meal was simple, revolving around discussions on brain research.
In the end, Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian, through their back-and-forth, left the brain scientist Dashiell dizzy and overwhelmed, concluding the dinner.
—
Dongyang brought Sui Yuan and the others to the school.
The three girls didn't want to attract attention, so although they only needed to greet the security to enter the campus, they opted not to.
At this moment, Lu Yutian, with her small backpack, came walking out of the school gate.
Her expression now lacked the downcast look she had during the morning's humiliation, adjusting her branded bag on her shoulder as she conversed with someone looking like a school leader.
"Principal, no need to see me off, my family driver will be here soon."
"Alright, thank you again for this, Yutian."
The other party was quite polite, seemingly with requests in mind.
Lu Yutian smiled slightly, searching for her driver when she noticed the slowly approaching azure car.
She paused, focusing on the license plate.
She remembered this car from the parking lot at Jinjing Center Mall because of its high status, she had paid special attention to it.
Whose car is this?
Who would get out of the car?
Lu Yutian stared from a distance; after a few seconds, the car stopped steadily, and the door opened.
She fixed her gaze.
To her surprise, the first to step out of the car were Lu Mian's classmates!
Two of them were her classmates from the physics class, whom she had seen during the day, while the other was unfamiliar.
This stark contrast made Lu Yutian instantly question the car's value. How could they step out of such a car?!
Out of nowhere, a sense of imbalance took hold of her, and her eyes dimmed momentarily.
"Student Yutian?" the vice principal called out to her.
Lu Yutian quickly masked her jealousy with a smile.
On the other hand, after saying goodbye to Dongyang, Sui Yuan and the others walked into the campus.
They, too, noticed Lu Yutian at the gate.
While walking, Shu Shu muttered quietly, "Wasn't she supposed to be expelled? Why does she seem fine?"
Qiao Yaning and Shu Shu shared puzzled looks.
"Maybe she pulled some strings..."
The three girls sighed as they continued toward the school, soon overhearing a sensational piece of news spreading across the campus!
Dashiell is leading the Brain Research Institute team for a lecture at Qing University!
Almost every passing student was discussing this event!
"Dashiell's lectures aren't something ordinary folks get to hear, after all, ordinary folks wouldn't understand anyway, hahaha."
"Why has Dashiell suddenly decided to give a lecture at our school?"
"I heard from a student assistant that it seems Dashiell once helped freshman elite class's Lu Yutian assess her IQ, claiming she's a genius with unmatched intelligence in a decade! This time, Dashiell came to Qing University because Lu Yutian made the connection."
"Indeed, I just saw the vice principal see her off the campus!"
"How high must Lu Yutian's IQ be to receive such high praise from Dashiell! Is there anyone in our school who can surpass her?"
