The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 344: Explosive, the Relationship Between Li Jin and King
Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Explosive, the Relationship Between Li Jin and King
When they returned to the Leyton Hotel, Jiang Man played chess with King to lighten his mood.
While playing, she unintentionally probed about the past events.
Wu Yingfan came running over with Shaye to freeload a meal.
Shaye carried a small stool over to watch the game.
She didn’t understand chess and couldn’t recognize all the Chinese characters, but she enjoyed the atmosphere of watching the game.
Wu Yingfan had no interest in Chinese chess and even found it boring.
He collapsed onto the sofa, texting Xu Chengzhou enthusiastically.
His eyes were on the phone screen, but his mind was on the stories King was sharing about Li Jin.
Xu Chengzhou: "Wife, what’s your real name? May I know your full name so I can engrave it in my heart?"
Ding.
Wu Yingfan unexpectedly caught a glimpse of this message and nearly spat out his lunch.
How long had they been chatting?
Less than 24 hours, and he’s already calling her "wife"?
W: My full name? You’re not worthy of knowing it. Knowing my surname is already giving you face.
Xu Chengzhou: "Yes, yes, wife is always right. What is wife’s surname then?"
W: Wu.
Xu Chengzhou: "So W is the abbreviation for Wu."
Wu Yingfan rolled his eyes.
Sorry, W stands for wildrose, not Wu.
W: If you say so, then it is.
Xu Chengzhou: "Wife, you really have personality! I like it so much. Do you always talk like this to people?"
Wu Yingfan instantly turned aloof, snorting.
W: No, I only talk like this to bootlickers.
Xu Chengzhou: "En, I am your bootlicker, woof woof woof! Master, may I see your jade feet?"
What the?
Wu Yingfan’s eyes widened, and he gagged, almost vomiting.
Is this guy a pervert?
And jade feet?
He was afraid he’d kick his size 43 foot at him and scare him into a psychiatric ward!
W: What do you want with a picture of my jade feet?
Xu Chengzhou: "Want...to...lick..."
"Ugh." Wu Yingfan couldn’t help it and retched.
Shaye looked back speechlessly: "Brother Fan, what are you doing? Why do you keep making those noises?"
She was getting disturbed from watching the game!
Wu Yingfan pursed his lips; he didn’t want to either.
But the guy was really slimy and disgusting.
"Manman, I can’t take it anymore, I really can’t. You have to compensate me later; I want a super fancy meal! If it’s not at least 8888 yuan per person, I’m going to make a scene!"
"Wait till I finish this game," Jiang Man glanced at him.
The round ended, and King won.
Jiang Man conceded defeat willingly and gave King a thumbs up.
King smiled: "Keep it up, when you defeat me someday, you will be the number one Grandmaster."
Indeed, the number one Grandmaster of chess in the world was right here, yet so far.
Jiang Man had many aliases, and her dad had even more.
If she were the second best at playing dumb, then her dad was definitely the best.
"Alright, that’s enough for today. You young people can handle your dinner. I won’t keep you," King waved, signaling for the chess set to be put away and effectively sending them off.
Wu Yingfan jumped up from the sofa.
Shaye pouted, looking like she hadn’t had enough.
King smiled at her: "If you’re interested in playing chess, I could teach you."
"Really?" Shaye was overjoyed, dancing with excitement.
King’s eyes were filled with indulgence. freёwebnoѵel.com
He had actually thought about pampering Manman into becoming a little girl like Shaye.
But after much deliberation and numerous struggles within himself, he eventually decided to use a militaristic approach to educate his daughter.
As a result, Manman lacked much of the innocence typical of daughters her age.
Now that Manman had grown up, he somewhat regretted it and wished that Manman could possess more of Shaye’s cuteness and innocence.
"My dad is the world’s number one chess player," Jiang Man said proudly.
Shaye blinked her eyes and clapped her little hands, "Oh, does that mean I could become the world’s second best?"
"World’s second best? You wish," Wu Yingfan knocked on her head from behind.
Shaye pouted and huffed, "I’m very smart, don’t underestimate me!"
"Who’s underestimating you? The world’s second best is right here," Wu Yingfan moved next to Jiang Man and gestured respectfully with his hand.
At that, Shaye stuck out her tongue, "Then I’ll settle for world’s third best."
Jiang Man smiled, like a caring big sister, "It’s alright, I’ll let you be the second, I’ll be the third."
"Yay, Sister Manman is so nice! Uncle King is great too!"
Wu Yingfan shook his head, "You just spoil her."
The trio bickered and played around for a while before finally leaving the presidential suite.
Jiang Man’s smile ceased as soon as she stepped out of the suite.
In fact, she had always been deeply troubled by the stories about Li Jin told by her old dad.
Wu Yingfan looked at her and instantly saw through her mood.
"Actually, it’s quite understandable," he said.
Wu Yingfan stroked his chin, morphing into a Sherlock Holmes-like figure.
"You can’t understand why Uncle Jin would use the name Li Jin, can you?" he asked.
"Somewhat," replied Jiang Man calmly.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand.
There was the story of Boya and Ziqi from ancient times.
After Ziqi’s death, Boya broke his strings and never played the zither again.
Such emotions Jiang Man could empathize with, but not completely.
"I think, Uncle Jin is actually gay. Think about it, he never married and always wears a ring on his pinkie. Every time marriage is suggested, he gets irritated. I wonder if Li Jin was his lover. After the lover died, using his name as his own as a way of remembrance makes sense. If Lu Xingzhou’s aunt could remain unmarried for this Li Jin, Uncle Jin might also remain unmarried for him."
"???" Jiang Man was utterly shocked and kicked Wu Yingfan hard.
Wu Yingfan blinked, very cautiously, "Sis, Granny, don’t look at me with that kind of gaze, I’m just making a logical deduction. Otherwise tell me, why wouldn’t a man with normal physical needs get married? Even if he didn’t get married, wouldn’t he have some women around him? But Uncle Jin, he just doesn’t show any interest in women at all."
"..." Jiang Man was completely unable to retort.
Because she felt that Wu Yingfan’s reasoning was very logical, even convincing.
If Aunt Lan was her dad’s rival in love, then everything made sense.
No wonder dad hated Aunt Lan so much.
My god!
Jiang Man was incredibly shocked.
Such a melodramatic love story?
Even if such a story were in a novel, it would be utterly explosive.
"After all, it’s just a speculation, but quite convincing," said Wu Yingfan.
Jiang Man pursed her lips, temporarily accepting the speculation.
Investigating her old dad was out of the question.
Some doubts could only be buried in her heart forever, unsolved but not without a solution.
However, once she accepted the idea that her old dad might be gay...
Jiang Man shook her head.
She dared not think about it, really dared not think about it at all!
"Oh right," Wu Yingfan changed the subject abruptly and waved his phone close to Jiang Man’s ear, "Miss W, your bootlicker Xu Chengzhou, he wants a photo of your jade feet. So, should I give it to him or not?"
While speaking, Wu Yingfan stretched his foot forward, deliberately pulling up his trouser leg.
Jiang Man glanced at his big foot and rolled her eyes.
"He really is something! If we don’t get rid of such a nasty man, how many girls will he harm? Especially his fans."
