The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 335: Is the Pigeon Egg Worth Tens of Millions Fake?
Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Is the Pigeon Egg Worth Tens of Millions Fake?
"Is this ring also made by your subsidiary?" Jiang Man raised her eyebrows and stared at the diamond ring for a while longer.
The shape of an octagonal star, sparkling and transparent, dazzling with brilliance.
The octagonal star is also known as Lakshmi’s Star.
In Hinduism, the octagonal star symbolizes the anthropomorphic goddess Ashytarakmi, representing the eight aspects of the goddess Lakshmi and also the eight goddesses of wealth who govern health, knowledge, strength, and prosperity.
The meaning of this diamond ring doesn’t just express love; it also conveys Lu Xingzhou’s affirmation of her.
She is the goddess who governs health, knowledge, strength, and prosperity. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Yes," Lu Xingzhou smiled, his slender phoenix eyes creasing, "Anything related to you will always come from this branch."
"Hmm? A company opened just for me?" Jiang Man teased casually.
Lu Xingzhou is a businessman after all. The fact that he stands where he is today is undoubtedly due to his deep strategies and meticulous planning.
Starting a company just for her, such an act of love, she believed was something he would never do.
Lu Xingzhou didn’t explain further; JL company was another gift he had given Jiang Man.
But if he were to reveal this gift himself, there would be no surprise.
It would be better to let her discover it on her own; only then would it be a real surprise.
"Do you like it?" Lu Xingzhou glanced at Jiang Man.
His gaze landed on her delicate face before quickly moving to her ring finger.
"Not bad," Jiang Man lifted her eyebrows, her lips curving into a smile.
"Then wear it every day." Lu Xingzhou reached out with his large hand, took her small hand, enveloping both her hand and the diamond ring altogether.
...
Outside the villa gates.
Jiang Man had been sitting in the car all night.
She originally wanted to wait for the guests to come out, and with some luck, she might encounter that Miss Lisite.
But by 2 a.m., she had only seen a few unfamiliar faces leave.
Forget Miss Lisite—she hadn’t even waited for Nan Juefeng.
Eventually, she couldn’t hold up anymore, reclined the car seat, and lay down to sleep.
She only intended to rest for a moment, yet unexpectedly slept until daylight.
She checked the time on her phone—it was already past seven!
"Hello, has Mr. Nan left yet?"
She got out of the car and asked the security guard.
The patrolling security guard had changed shifts at night and was a quite amiable young man.
"Who are you?"
"I’m Mr. Nan’s driver; my car is over there. I waited outside all night but didn’t see our CEO. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep in the car; I’m worried I might have missed a call from him. Did he leave?"
Jiang Man’s fabricated story was seamless.
Alongside her pitiable appearance, it was indeed pitiful.
"A girl working as a driver?" The security guard sized up Jiang Man, who was dressed like a female office worker.
"I didn’t attend college; being able to work in a large company driving for the CEO is my good fortune."
The security guard didn’t say much more.
Perhaps he empathized with her.
Without an education, one can only take on jobs seen as lesser.
Even a delicate and pretty young girl like her had to drive for someone as a driver.
He was similar, young and working as a security guard, all due to the pressures of life.
"Wait a moment; I’ll check the list for you."
The security guard turned and walked into the guardhouse, flipping through the personnel entry and exit log.
"Mr. Nan left at 3:20 in the morning."
"He left?" Jiang Man bit her lip, "And what about Miss Lisite? Has she left yet?"
The security guard had started with empathy.
But when Jiang Man pushed her luck, inquiring further about Miss Lisite’s whereabouts, his demeanor suddenly turned grim.
"Since your boss has already left, you should leave quickly too!"
As he spoke, the large wolfhound sitting behind him suddenly stood up.
Jiang Man got a fright and hurriedly ran to her car and started it up immediately.
As she pulled out of the parking spot, she caught a glimpse of a Maybach parked beside her.
The license plate was all too familiar; wasn’t it Xingzhou’s car?
Xingzhou came too?
It seems that Miss Lisite is really something special, huh? To have so many billionaires with a net worth of hundreds of billions come over just to celebrate her birthday?
...
An hour and a half later.
Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou accompanied King for breakfast, then stepped out of the villa together, one after the other.
Jiang Man went to school for classes, and Lu Xingzhou went to work.
Every time they shared a car, regardless of whether there was something happening or not, Lu Xingzhou would instruct the driver to drop Jiang Man off at her destination first.
Previously, Jiang Man believed in gender equality and saw no need for such indulgence.
But gradually, it became second nature.
When the car stopped steadily at the front gate of Bei Yin, she naturally pushed the door open and got out.
From head to toe, aside from the dazzling diamond ring on her finger and the cellphone in her pocket, she didn’t carry anything else.
She hardly looked like she was there for classes.
"I’m off."
As she closed the door, Jiang Man waved her hand lazily.
Lu Xingzhou smiled at her.
Only after her figure had vanished from sight did he tell the driver to go.
As Jiang Man walked towards the teaching building, her cellphone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Checking it, she saw it was a call from Louis.
"Hello?" Her voice was lazy, indifferent.
"Happy Birthday," came the deep voice from the other end.
Jiang Man hummed, "Is that your way of congratulating someone?"
"That’s just me," replied Louis, still cold, but his tone soon changed. "Are you free tonight? Some famous musicians have come, and they want to meet you."
"Your most admired Andrew is here too," he added after a pause.
At the mention of Andrew, Jiang Man’s eyebrows rose without hesitation, "Okay, send me the time and place."
...
During the four morning classes, Zhang Ziqi and Mao Lili were discussing the egg-sized diamond on Jiang Man’s hand.
Wen Rui was recording a new variety show. Amidst the bustle, he occasionally joined in the banter over the group chat.
Wen Rui: Brother-in-law is so generous, that egg-sized diamond must be worth tens of millions, right?
Zhang Ziqi: Ruirui, who exactly is our brother-in-law? How can he be so rich?
Wen Rui: I can’t say that; you’d better ask Sister Man.
Zhang Ziqi held her cellphone with a pitiful look on her face.
Jiang Man propped her head up lazily, yawning.
Her hand shook, causing the diamond to shimmer as well.
"Damn, what’s that blinding thing?"
"You didn’t see? Jiang Man is wearing a super big diamond ring on her hand."
"It must be fake, right? Who would boldly wear something worth tens of millions and show off like that?"
"Exactly, I don’t even dare to wear the gold jewelry I bought, what if I lose it? I would really cry to death."
"Jiang Man is a famous songwriter, earning millions a year, okay? What’s an egg-sized diamond to her?"
"Stop blowing smoke, songwriting doesn’t make that much money. That diamond is definitely fake!"
Lili rolled her eyes, "Speechless, a bunch of losers! Sour grapes!"
Sister Man would never wear a fake diamond ring.
The whole school had been abuzz with rumors that she was kept and supported by some old man.
Whether or not she was kept or by an old man, she wasn’t sure, but what she was sure of was—brother-in-law was a true rich man, and he could definitely afford to gift an egg-sized diamond!
"I’m going to take a nap." Jiang Man glanced at today’s textbooks and saw nothing too challenging.
She couldn’t be bothered to listen to the gossip surrounding her.
Wearing this ring, being the subject of discussion was inevitable.
Who could blame them when the diamond was so extravagantly large and eye-catching?
She had just laid down and covered her head with her textbook.
Zzz—
The cellphone in the drawer started to vibrate.
Wen Rui sent a message: Sister Man, Xu Chengzhou got replaced by the director. I heard from Mi Duo and the others gossiping that he got dumped by the young mistress of the Chen family...
