The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 310: Don’t you think she looks a bit like Jiang Man?
Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Don’t you think she looks a bit like Jiang Man?
"No, your aunt suddenly felt unwell."
"Unwell? Then I should go check on her even more. Where are you?"
The old lady choked, realizing she had said the wrong thing.
Manman was the Divine Doctor, and using feeling unwell as an excuse was truly foolish.
"It’s really nothing, let’s leave it at that, I’m hanging up."
Before Jiang Man could say anything else, the call was abruptly ended.
"Something wrong?" Lu Xingzhou turned to look at her, his voice lowering.
Jiang Man frowned and saw Jiang Man and Wen Jingya getting up, so she shook her head: "It shouldn’t be anything serious, they’ve gone to check."
"Hmm." Lu Xingzhou didn’t think too much of it.
After all, what could go wrong at a music concert?
Who would have thought that on such an occasion, acquaintances from 22 years ago could meet again?
"Isn’t that Grandma and Mom?" Jiang Man quickly pointed to the end of the corridor not far away.
"Grandma! Mom!" she called out loudly and quickened her pace to catch up.
Wen Jingya followed at a calm pace and peeked curiously through the crack in the door of the rest room.
But someone inside quickly shut the door with a loud bang, using a lot of force.
Looking again at the two bodyguards by the door handle, their demeanor aggressive, she pursed her lips.
She hurried to catch up with Jiang Man and saw that the group had already reached the exit of the grand theater.
"Mom, have you been crying?" Jiang Man stared at the woman in front of her, hastily reaching for a tissue.
"I’m fine." Lu Xuemei pushed the people away, even pushing the old lady: "Mom, I want some time alone. You stay with the kids, and don’t wander off on your own."
Having said that, she left without looking back.
Jiang Man wanted to chase after her but was stopped by the old lady: "Don’t worry about her, let her be alone for a while."
"Grandma, what happened?" Jiang Man furrowed her brow, very concerned.
The old lady kept her lips sealed and shook her head: "The grudges of the older generation are not for you young people to worry about. I’m tired, I’m going home, you all enjoy the concert."
"It’s okay, if Grandma won’t listen, neither will I. I’ll go back with you, okay?"
"That’s fine."
...
A few minutes later, Lu Xingzhou received a text message from Jiang Man saying they were going back first.
Lu Zhendong was initially listening intently to the concert, but when Mrs. Lan Xiang made her appearance, he became restless.
Ming Ran noticed his discomfort and asked him suspiciously, "What’s the matter? Do you know the guest performer who just appeared?"
"She looks very familiar, but I don’t remember where I’ve seen her before." Lu Zhendong furrowed his brow.
Ming Ran dismissed it: "Don’t you think she looks a lot like Manman? Maybe that’s why she seems familiar to you?"
Lu Zhendong’s eyebrows lifted, and he turned to glance at Jiang Man before nodding.
Indeed, that woman named Lan Xiang did bear a resemblance to Jiang Man.
The concert lasted a total of two hours.
When it ended, many fans went on stage to take photos with Barrett.
But Mrs. Lan Xiang, the guest performer, did not show her face again and hid in the rest room waiting for Barrett.
After greeting his fans, Barrett made a beeline for the rest room.
Upon entering, he greeted Mrs. Lan Xiang with a cheek kiss.
"Xiang, your performance just now was fantastic! Here are flowers from your fans."
"Thank you." Mrs. Lan Xiang’s mood wasn’t very high as she managed a small smile.
"You look tired," Barrett observed her condition.
Mrs. Lan Xiang squeezed out a smile: "Maybe it’s because I’ve been flying around too much these days."
"Tomorrow the music academy has invited me to hold a meet and greet and perform. Will you come and be my guest performer again?"
"Tomorrow... I’d better not go..." Mrs. Lan Xiang thought of her unpleasant encounter with Lu Xuemei.
If she hadn’t come to Beicheng this time, if she hadn’t supported Barrett, maybe all these troubles wouldn’t exist.
Fate truly loves to play tricks on people; some coincidences leave her utterly unprepared.
"I’ll meet with two friends tomorrow, and then I’ll return to Paris."
"That works." frёeωebɳovel.com
While they were talking, someone knocked on the door.
The housekeeper came in, "Madam, Miss Jiang and Young Master Lu have arrived."
Madam Lan Xiang paused upon hearing this.
She quickly regained her composure.
It must be that the whole Lu Family came to listen to the concert.
"Please, invite them in!"
Barrett looked confused.
As soon as Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou walked in, Madam Lan Xiang immediately introduced them enthusiastically.
"Barrett, these are two friends I recently met. During my last visit to Harbor City, they saved my life."
She had told Barrett about the encounter with the thugs in Harbor City, which had nearly cost her life.
Upon hearing this, Barrett’s eyes lit up, his blue eyes unwavering as he focused on the two young people in front of him.
From Lan Xiang’s story, he knew that these two young people were very skilled.
Seeing them in person now, it felt like watching the events unfold for real.
"Nice to meet you!" He immediately stepped forward, shaking their hands with Chinese etiquette.
After exchanging greetings, since Barrett’s Chinese was very poor, Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou started speaking to him in French.
Barrett was surprised; they spoke French like true Parisians!
Madam Lan Xiang smiled and explained, "This young gentleman is LEO Lu from the Forbes rankings!"
Lu Xingzhou was only well-known domestically.
But mention LEO Lu, and he was known all over the world!
At thirty, he was already on the Forbes list of billionaires.
Not only was he versed in commerce, but he also spoke sixteen languages.
His experiences from childhood to adulthood could simply be described as legendary.
For such a person, speaking French wasn’t a surprise at all.
As his wife spoke French as well, it wasn’t considered strange.
"Mr. Lu, I’ve heard you also play more than a dozen musical instruments?" Barrett instantly became excited.
Having LEO come to his performance was a point of pride for him as a musician.
"I can play a few, but I’m not an expert," Lu Xingzhou said modestly.
"My wife studies music and is currently learning classical music."
"Oh?" Barrett’s gaze shifted to Jiang Man.
"I have a meet-and-greet tomorrow at Beiyin Academy. If Mrs. Lu doesn’t mind, she could come and observe. I will share some of my insights and understandings regarding music."
"What a coincidence; she is a student at Beiyin Academy."
"That is indeed a coincidence! Will Mrs. Lu be coming?"
"Definitely." Jiang Man nodded slightly, with a warm smile.
"How about this, after the meet-and-greet tomorrow, why don’t you join us for a meal? I can see you are getting along quite well," Madam Lan Xiang suggested as the atmosphere was amiable.
Barrett was naturally pleased.
He was not like other musicians.
Most musicians tended to be socially anxious, preferring solitude and immersing themselves in their own world.
He, on the other hand, was a social butterfly; his inspiration for music came from his interactions with a diverse range of people.
From these individuals, he could gain different insights and experiences.
Like with this young couple before him, he was filled with interest.
He even wanted to know more about them, to compose a piece for their love!
