The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 333: The Appearance of Lady Lan Xiang’s Design
Chapter 333: Chapter 333: The Appearance of Lady Lan Xiang’s Design
When she opened her eyes and blew out the candles in one breath, the entire room immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.
With the appearance of King, some people immediately began to show off.
In front of everyone, they ostentatiously presented gifts to Jiang Man.
Jiang Man hated this part the most.
She knew that these people were all here for her old man.
These gifts, rather than being for her, were actually for her father.
"Old man, as usual, let Vermilion Bird take care of the gifts, I’m gonna slip away."
Jiang Man grabbed a glass of champagne and gave King a smile.
She stood among the crowd, turning into a spectator.
Two waiters opened the high-profile gift for everyone to see.
A diamond-studded evening gown was revealed in front of the crowd.
The dress shimmered with an unearthly glow, the kind that could blind you.
"This is a bespoke haute couture for next spring designed by Chanel’s famed designer Jane, currently one of only three sets in the world. One is with the international superstar Taylor, one is with the Belgian princess, and this last one, ladies and gentlemen, is right here."
The gifting boss was full of praise.
On hearing this, people started chattering among themselves.
"Starting off with a bang, huh? That gift is precious."
"His entire business relies on the King Group. Not just one limited edition gown, he could give ten to Miss Lisite and it wouldn’t be too much!"
"That’s true, let’s see if the upcoming gifts are even more expensive."
"Speaking of which," someone suddenly frowned, "don’t you think Miss Lisite looks familiar? Like we’ve seen her somewhere before?"
Jiang Man, having dressed up and wearing makeup, looked totally different from her usual self.
"Where have you seen her? Not me, this is the first time I’ve seen her."
"Can’t remember now, just feel like I’ve seen her before. Maybe at some other gathering?"
"Impossible, King and Miss Lisite have only just returned to the country a few days ago, how could you have seen her before?"
"True."
With Miss Lisite’s background, wouldn’t she be the center of attention at any gathering she appeared in?
If he had really seen her, he would definitely have a deep impression and it wouldn’t take so long for him to recall.
The gift-giving ceremony continued.
Jiang Man kept moving backward until she was at the very back of the crowd, standing next to Lu Xingzhou.
She reached out her hand, palm up: "Yours?"
"Hmm?" Lu Xingzhou pretended not to understand.
Jiang Man glared at him, seriously, "The gift."
Seeing that he did not react for quite a while, her enthusiasm waned.
"Forget it if you haven’t prepared anything."
Her hands were already full of gifts today; she wouldn’t miss one from him.
"Wow! This second gift is even more awesome!"
"What do you mean?"
"Don’t you know? This is the masterpiece of the world’s number one jewelry designer, Madame Lan Xiang—the Plum Blossom series."
"You women love jewelry, but we men don’t get it."
"This series has already been included in the Paris Museum as part of their collection."
"A collectible that can still be acquired must have cost a fortune, at least a small goal’s worth."
"Is this jewelry designer that impressive? Her designs can become collectibles?"
"Of course. Her designs are considered art, beautifully blending Eastern and Western traits."
"You’re talking about the French Foreign Minister’s wife Lan Xiang, right? I’ve seen her, quite pretty."
The crowd was abuzz, initially discussing the designs, the gifts themselves.
As they talked, the topic shifted, eventually moving on to the designer herself, and then to the designer’s gossip.
"Her love life is quite rich it seems. Heard that the foreign minister is her second husband; she had a marriage in China before and even had a child."
Jiang Man found these people quite boring, talking behind anyone’s back.
She could imagine that once she turned around, they would gossip about her just like they did about Madame Lan Xiang.
...
At this moment, outside Sunset Villa.
The iron gate was tightly closed, and above it was an electric fence.
Security guards patrolled with two large wolfhounds.
Suddenly, a car stopped outside the iron gate.
Jiang Man got out of the driver’s seat, saw the large wolfhounds, and was so scared that she hugged herself, not daring to get too close.
"Hello, I am the secretary of Nan Juefeng, the president of Nan’s Corporation. My president sent me here to deliver something to him."
"Sorry, but at the moment, we are only allowing people to leave, not enter. You can make a phone call to your president and then hand the items to us, we will deliver them on your behalf."
"Can’t I enter even if I’m the second young lady of the Lu Family?" Jiang Man, not giving up, continued to ask.
The security guard immediately frowned, finding her very suspicious.
One second she claimed to be the secretary of President Nan, and the next, she claimed to be the second young lady of the Lu Family.
"Even if it were the young master of the Lu Family, without an invitation, he could not enter."
"You..." Jiang Man was left speechless by the retort.
She didn’t dare call Nan Juefeng.
Because she wasn’t invited.
And to find this place, she had used some underhanded tactics.
She had secretly found a subordinate of Shen Yu, bribed them with money, and had them reveal Nan Juefeng’s whereabouts to her.
That’s how she found out Nan Juefeng and Shen Yu were at Sunset Villa, attended the birthday party for a Miss Lisite.
This Miss Lisite was of great influence, not just anyone could receive an invitation.
For instance, even a wealthy family like the Ming Family was not qualified to meet Miss Lisite.
So mysterious, with such grandeur, the more Jiang Man thought about it, the more curious she became.
She was even more eager to know why Nan Juefeng seemed to have intentionally sent her away, not wanting her to follow to the villa?
In the afternoon, he had asked her to fetch a suit, but it wasn’t for wearing at tonight’s dinner.
It was like he intentionally didn’t want her to come to this villa.
She returned to her car and drove to an inconspicuous corner.
From the perspective inside the car, however, the entrance of the gate and its comings and goings were visible.
This was called lying in wait like a cat catching mice!
At this time, the gift-giving segment of the banquet was still ongoing.
Shen Yu had left her seat midway and had stayed in the restroom for quite a while.
Nan Juefeng had noticed her limping when she walked.
He set down his glass and followed, waiting outside the restroom door for quite some time.
Seeing that Shen Yu hadn’t come out after a long while, he finally picked up his phone to call her.
"Where are you?" he asked in a lowered voice.
Shen Yu’s voice echoed from inside the restroom, "I’m sorry, President, I’m in the restroom."
"You’ve been in there for nearly twenty minutes, is your stomach upset?"
"Ah?" Shen Yu exclaimed, "President... you... "
"I’m right outside the door, how are you feeling?"
"It’s nothing..."
"Come out."
The tone was commanding. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Shen Yu responded quietly, "Okay."
After a while, a slender figure finally appeared.
Her walk was off, but it was as if she was trying to conceal something purposely.
Nan Juefeng frowned and stepped forward, "Did you get hurt while playing basketball?"
"No..." Shen Yu continued to deny it stubbornly.
"Still not telling the truth? Do I need to carry you to the hospital to have a doctor examine you before you’ll tell me?"
"It’s not that..." Shen Yu bit her lip and showed a look of grievance for the first time.
"I’m just a secretary, the president doesn’t need to be concerned about me like this."
She was truly afraid, afraid that if he was too kind to her, she wouldn’t have the heart to leave...
