The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 386: Fake, this is not Dr. M’s secret recipe
Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Fake, this is not Dr. M’s secret recipe
"Impersonating? What makes Madam think I’m impersonating someone?" Jiang Man could hardly keep from laughing and crying.
It was always others impersonating her; she never impersonated anyone else.
Oh wait, except herself.
"I told you, I’ve met Miss Seven at the second wife’s house; she looked so delicate and refined."
Delicate and refined.
Jiang Man could hardly contain her amusement.
Could it be that this wealthy lady was talking about Jiang Rou?
It seemed like something Jiang Rou would do.
Jiang Man couldn’t be bothered to explain and went straight to the point, "Madam, I’d like to buy a drop of your rejuvenating serum for 200,000 yuan, what do you say?"
If the person was indeed the real Miss Seven of the Hu family, she would definitely sell it, but since she was a fake, naturally, she didn’t want to deal with her.
"I’m sorry, but I’m very busy and don’t have time to argue with you here. We are not related, so why should I sell a drop to you? Besides, the Li family does not lack money."
After saying this, Mrs. Li put down her teacup, stood up, and said, "Make sure the bodyguards keep their eyes peeled, and you, don’t think just anyone can lie and see me. If everyone did that, would I not be worked to death?"
"Yes, Madam is right," the assistant said, nodding and bowing.
Wu Yingfan laughed and said, "You don’t want to sell the medicine to us, but do you have to make your refusal so unpleasant? Here we have the genuine Miss Seven of the Hu family, and yet you insult her because you can’t see her true value?"
"Forget it," Jiang Man scoffed lightly, "Let my sister-in-law come and ask for it, she might get it."
"Please wait, Madam; Miss Anna of the Chen family will be here shortly."
"Using Miss Anna of the Chen family again? Tonight’s banquet is just too much, letting in people of all sorts!"
Mrs. Li gave Jiang Man a scornful look and left in a huff.
Jiang Man took out her phone to call Chen Anna just as Miss Anna descended like a goddess, "Mrs. Li, what’s going on? Why do I hear you scolding me?"
Mrs. Li couldn’t believe it and gave a start when she caught sight of Chen Anna.
"How dare I scold you, Miss? It’s this person here, falsely claiming to be Miss Seven of the Hu family, and even bringing you into it. Tell me, this evening’s banquet is a mess, who knows what kind of people have snuck in?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Li’s sidelong glances towards Jiang Man were filled with disdain.
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Li?" Anna furrowed her brows, sensing something was off with the affluent lady.
"This is Miss Seven of the Hu family, my little aunt."
"Miss Chen, you’re not joking, are you? I’ve met Miss Seven at the second wife’s home before, you were there too, right? Didn’t you talk to her?"
"Did I?" Chen Anna furrowed her brows, trying to recall.
Thinking back, that day Jiang Man hadn’t come over, but Jiang Rou and her aunt and uncle, a family of three, did, which annoyed her.
"So, you mistook that adopted daughter Jiang Rou for Miss Seven of the Hu family?"
Chen Anna had a delayed realization and burst out laughing with irritation on the spot.
"She really has the nerve to call herself Miss Seven!"
"Miss Chen... what’s happening... I don’t quite understand..." Mrs. Li was getting flustered.
Unfortunately, Chen Anna’s voice was very loud and her tone sharp, "My fifth aunt adopted a daughter, what you saw that day was the adopted daughter, this is the real Miss Seven, the one who cured grandfather, the Hu family’s precious daughter, Jiang Man!"
"What???" On hearing this, Mrs. Li’s face turned alternately green and white.
She blamed herself, not only for misidentifying someone but also for having spoken so arrogantly earlier, insulting the real Miss of the Hu family.
She deserved to die, she truly did!
"Miss Jiang, I am extremely sorry, I was blind. Oh my, how did this happen, all because that adopted daughter misled me!" Mrs. Li tried to salvage her dignity, wanting to throw all the blame onto Jiang Rou.
She knew very well that it was she who had mistaken one person for another all along.
Jiang Rou had never personally admitted to being the precious daughter of the Hu family, but she had also never denied it.
She just kept making one mistake after another until she finally provoked me.
"Miss Jiang, you wanted to restore your appearance, didn’t you? That one drop is on the house," I said.
"What one drop?" Chen Anna blinked.
She knew that Jiang Man needed this potion as a sample to analyze the components.
But one drop, that was hardly enough, wasn’t it? freēnovelkiss.com
"Madam Li, aren’t you being a bit stingy?"
"One drop is too little... then... let’s make it half a bottle!" Madam Li said, as if it cost her an arm and a leg.
After all, she had spent 21 million on the medicine, not like Madam Liu who gave away that bottle, which only cost 2.88 million.
If she had only spent 2.88 million, she would have given it to Miss Jiang with no qualms.
"No need for half a bottle, one drop is enough," Jiang Man said in an official tone, her face expressionless, very cold, and with an inexplicable chill.
Madam Li grit her teeth, realizing she had messed up today and still oblivious to Miss Jiang’s status in the Hu family.
"Hurry, bring the rejuvenation potion, let Miss Jiang take the medicine!" she quickly called out.
Jiang Man came prepared with the experiment tools, which Wu Yingfan carried with him.
Wu Yingfan stepped forward swiftly, put on white gloves, and professionally extracted the potion.
Madam Li was stunned, "Miss Chen, what are you doing? It looks like you are about to conduct an experiment?"
"You guessed it, we are going to conduct a human experiment, and when the time comes, we’ll use you, Madam Li, as the test subject," Chen Anna joked.
Madam Li forced a laugh, "Don’t joke with me, Miss Chen, I can’t handle it."
She thought of old master Hu’s illness that Jiang Man had cured, and now she saw Jiang Man’s companion extracting medicine as if for some experiment.
For reasons unknown, she got goosebumps all over, feeling like there was something very eerie about her.
"Done," Jiang Man saw the extracted potion, nodded slightly to Madam Li, "Thank you."
Although she voiced her thanks, the expression on her face was bold and wicked.
Madam Li waved her hands hastily, "Don’t mention it, don’t mention it."
Jiang Man didn’t dawdle any longer and looked at Chen Anna, "Sister-in-law, find a quiet place, we need to conduct the experiment."
"Sure, I’ll arrange it," Chen Anna nodded.
...
At this time, in another lounge.
Hu Xianyun’s people were bustling about, finally finding someone who met the requirements.
"Doctor Hu, a total of 32 people participated in the auction for the rejuvenation potion, we’ve checked their identities one by one, 22 are locals from the port city, all wealthy ladies, not likely to be Dr. M. There are also 3 foreigners, 7 mainlanders, and in the end, based on age and gender, we’ve narrowed it down to the last person. He fits Dr. M’s characteristics quite well, most likely it’s him."
"Invite him over quickly!" Hu Xianyun was thrilled.
He knew that this method would definitely lure out Dr. M!
...
Meanwhile, Chen Anna found a secluded private room, standing guard outside with Wu Yingfan.
Jiang Man went in with her equipment.
About 15 minutes later, the door of the private room opened.
"How did it go?" Chen Anna was excited, ready for some juicy news.
Jiang Man took off her white gloves, rolled them up, and discarded them into the side pocket designated for medical waste.
Her expression was indifferent, her voice colder than ever: "Fake, it’s not Dr. M’s secret recipe. I need a fully equipped lab to analyze the exact composition."
"Fake... fake???" Chen Anna was actually just curious, but she never expected that such a large pharmaceutical company like Da Lin would use Dr. M’s reputation to swindle the market?
Wasn’t that outrageous?
