Chapter 200 - Concealment
Su Ming swiftly made his way to his bed, pulled out a spray bottle from his backpack, and retrieved an Invincible Truth Pill.
He was about to stand and head out when he paused. đrđđČđ ebđođŻel.com
âThe System has detected a unique circumstance regarding the hostâs use of the medication. Would you like to specify a target?â
The sudden prompt in his mind caught Su Ming off guard.
He was concerned.
He didnât want to risk harming his mother.
The System had instantly picked up on his intentions.

âFocus on the guest!â
âThe Truth Pill has been modified to affect only the guest!â
With a grin, Su Ming opened the door and stepped out.
âSu, youâre home!â
Wang Yueâeâs face brightened at the sight of Su Ming.
She was on good terms with Lee Sumei, which was the only reason sheâd been allowed inside.
âAuntie Wang, welcome!â
Su Ming greeted her cheerfully, âAuntie Wang, you and Mom go ahead and chat. The airâs a bit dry; Iâm going to mist it a little.â
He took out the spray and misted the air.
âThe house isnât dry, thoughâŠâ
Lee Sumei blinked, puzzled.
âCome take a look, too. This is Aunt Wangâs niece. Isnât she beautiful?â
Lee Sumei showed Su Ming the photo.
He blinked in surprise.
After a quick scan and comparison, he realized the girl in the photo wasnât nearly as pretty as portrayed.
Beauty and ugliness are determined by nature, and genetics are beyond anyoneâs control.
But deception is another matter.
And what was the point of such a lie?
âAuntie Wang, what does your niece do?â
âShe just lies around at home, unwilling to work, always on her phone. Her parents are beside themselves with worry.â
Auntie Wang blurted out the truth.
Silence fell in an instant.
Lee Sumei was taken aback.
What was happening?
âIâŠâ
Wang Yueâe was equally bewildered.
Why had she spoken the truth?
âAuntie Wang, how old is your niece now?â
âSheâs only 28.â
Wang Yueâe was on the verge of swearing!
Why had she told the truth yet again?
Lee Sumeiâs expression soured.

Was Wang Yueâe trying to deceive her son?
âAunt Wang, is this really what your niece looks like?â
âNo, my niece is over 200 pounds and covered in acne.â
Wang Yueâe stood up in a rush. âI need to get homeâŠâ
With that, Wang Yueâe made a hasty exit.
âYou better not show your face around me again!â
Lee Sumei was seething with anger.
As Wang Yueâe stepped outside,
She glanced back, then down at herself.
Why on earth had she blurted out the truth?
Could Old Suâs son possess some special power?
That seemed far-fetched!
Wang Yueâe, in a state of panic, hurried home.
âMom, please, donât be upset. Trust my judgment,â Su Ming said, trying to soothe Lee Sumei.
Out of the blue, someone inquired, âIs Old Lee in?â
âOld Lee, your sonâs no spring chicken, and my granddaughterâs about his age. Have you thought about pairing them up?â
âMy granddaughterâs got a bank job, pulling in over 8,000 yuan a month. Plus, sheâs just bought her own place.â
âGrandma Zhang, welcome! Whatâs your granddaughter up to these days?â
âSheâs over at Old Wangâs in the next village, playing mahjong.â
âI thought she worked at the bank?â
âShe was a sales clerk at a small business affiliated with the bank but got the sack last month for underperforming.â
âAnd her monthly earnings?â
â2,500 yuan. Sheâs quite the spender, and her dad has to top her up with another 2,000 yuan each month.â
Everyone was taken aback by this revelation.
Grandma Zhang blinked, puzzled at her own candor.
Later that afternoon, a handful of visitors stopped by.
One seemed promising, so Lee Sumei kept her photo.
Word quickly spread through the village:
The Su familyâs son had an extraordinary gift.
Those seeking a marriage alliance with the Suâs couldnât tell a lie.
Lee Sumei was initially pleased, but once the visitors had left, her mood soured.
Why did they feel the need to be dishonest?
âMom, donât let it get to you. Itâs pretty standard for people to talk up their kids during matchmaking.â
âBut if they lie, theyâre bound to get caught out.â
âMom, itâs just the way things are.â
Lee Sumei felt resigned.
âTomorrowâs Old Master Liuâs centennial birthday. Letâs go celebrate with him.â
âAlright,â Su Ming nodded in agreement.
He wasnât rushed to return, preferring instead to spend additional time with his parents at home. With President Chen and Wang Guohui keeping an eye on the downtown property, he felt completely at ease.
Furthermore, Su Ming had a strong hunch that he would come away from this with something valuable. Yet, he couldnât pinpoint the reason behind this intuition. He suspected it might just be his sixth sense at play.
