The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 410: He ah, has taken a liking to that young girl Jiang Man

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: He ah, has taken a liking to that young girl Jiang Man

In the evening, Hu Yaohua personally cooked a feast and invited the entire Hu family, as well as the elderly Madame Lu, over for dinner. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Naturally, Jiang Man was accompanying and looking after every move of the elderly lady.

Hu Hao, who had a loud voice, was recounting the events of the day to the elderly lady.

She listened in utter surprise.

"You actually... fought against the Japanese?"

Whenever the topic of "little devils" came up, the old lady felt a strong sense of immersion.

Although she was born in the fifties, her older brothers and sisters were born in the thirties and forties.

Growing up, she was constantly exposed to the heinous acts of the Japanese and had come to despise them down to her bones.

"I’ve already relayed the incident to the newspaper, so let’s see how they write it up."

Hu Hao became more and more passionate as he spoke, "You should have seen Dairin Miwa’s face turn green when I escorted her to the airport!"

"Mom, aren’t you familiar with the wife of the district head? Can she issue a customs prohibition, barring this Dairin Miwa from the port in the future?"

"If she caused trouble in the harbor city, there shouldn’t be any major issues."

The family chatted in high spirits.

The conversation soon turned to Jiang Rou stealing, Jiang Yueping’s desperate actions, revealing that Jiang Man was not his biological daughter.

Jiang Man perked up her ears, listening intently.

She quietly observed Jiang Man’s reaction.

To her surprise, Jiang Man was actually smiling? It seemed as if she didn’t care at all.

And the others laughed along, as if it was all just amusing!

Isn’t this too inconceivable?

When the elderly lady heard that Jiang Man was not a child of the Hu family, she immediately became anxious.

"Manman is also a victim; she too is unaware of her true origins, don’t blame her."

"How could we blame Manman?" they retorted. "We’re so worried about her we barely have time to breathe."

"We’ve agreed, Manman is forever the seventh young lady of the Hu family, and that will never change unless she decides to leave us."

"Never," Jiang Man smiled back at them.

"However, brother-in-law, can you please not knock over the vinegar jar?" Hu Hao pouted.

Lu Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, "You can be siblings, but no intimate contact."

"Damn it." Hu Hao really wanted to swear, "What if I want to touch my little sister?"

"Break your hands," replied Lu Xingzhou with a bland tone.

"Hahaha." Hu Qinglin burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"How pathetic, why would you touch your sister like that? Be careful she might hit you so hard you’ll be searching for your teeth on the ground."

"My sister wouldn’t be that violent, right?"

Jiang Man smiled, "It’s hard to say."

"Sister, you can’t be like this..."

The brothers circled around Jiang Man, talking and laughing.

Jiang Man couldn’t believe what she was seeing. What was the situation with these people?

Wasn’t the real seventh child of the Hu family being sought?

Why were they doting on the fake heiress so much?

As the group casually chatted and laughed, Jiang Man’s phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from Commander Xia.

"Sorry, I need to take this call."

She stood up, left the dining room, and walked toward the balcony.

As soon as she answered the phone, an excited voice came through from the other end.

"Doctor, great news! Our project was successful six months ahead of schedule!"

Jiang Man was taken aback.

Their progress was faster than expected, but she hadn’t anticipated this much advancement.

"It’s all thanks to the new member you recommended—Lu Yingxue. This kid is a genius in scientific research!"

Jiang Man could feel Commander Xia’s excitement and his praise for Lu Yingxue.

"Doctor, when can you find time to come to the institute? The final test needs your personal supervision."

"Alright," Jiang Man glanced at the people in the nearby restaurant, basking in the jovial atmosphere.

"I’m currently in Hong City and will return the day after tomorrow. I’ll need to bring someone with me."

"Who?" Major Xia wanted to inquire in detail, preparing to investigate the person’s background in advance.

Jiang Man knew what he was thinking and said indifferently, "A researcher from the Hong City Research Institute—Antarctic Scientific Researcher Hu Xianyun."

"Alright, Doctor, I’ll apply to the higher-ups immediately. As soon as the approval comes through, I’ll report back to you at once."

"Thank you."

It wasn’t long after Jiang Man hung up the phone when Zhao Huai also received a call.

He stood outside the courtyard, calling Lu Xingzhou, asking him to come out to talk.

Lu Xingzhou excused himself from the table midway.

When Jiang Man entered, he happened to be coming out, and the two walked their separate ways as if by tacit agreement.

"What’s so urgent?" Lu Xingzhou’s face was stern, and he was not one to smile casually.

Zhao Huai was so excited he nearly jumped up, leaning in close, and whispered, "There’s news from the institute. They say the brain instrument project has been very successful. For the final test, they want to invite BOSS to personally observe at the institute."

"Is the time set?" Lu Xingzhou suppressed the elation in his heart.

For this project, the Lu family had invested tens of billions.

This was considered a key project for the Lu family for the next few decades!

"They didn’t specify a time. Dr. M is not in Beicheng, says she’s returning the day after tomorrow."

"Okay," Lu Xingzhou nodded.

"Then arrange the private jet in advance. Manman, Grandma, and I will return to Beicheng the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!"

When Lu Xingzhou returned to the dining room, Jiang Man was cracking sunflower seeds, listening to several aunts reminisce about the embarrassing moments of her brothers’ childhood.

Her brothers blushed at being teased, feeling these were all dark moments in their past.

Hu Xianyun excused himself midway to go to the restroom, and Jiang Man tapped off the seed shells from her hands and rose to follow.

"Are you going to the restroom too?"

Hu Xianyun wanted to let Jiang Man go first.

Jiang Man’s hands were tucked in her pockets, casually saying, "Don’t you want to meet Dr. M? How about going to Beicheng with me? They have a new project launching there; you could observe. It might help with your space hibernation technology research."

Her offhand tone made it seem like visiting the National Research Institute was a very casual affair.

Hu Xianyun was flabbergasted, hardly daring to hope, "I would definitely like to go! But it requires layers of applications and approvals. Without a special reason, they probably won’t approve."

"It’s fine, just pack your luggage. I’ll handle the rest."

"You, little sister..." Hu Xianyun smiled, "are quite assertive."

"Truly a student of Dr. M. I’m even starting to wonder if you’re her top disciple, which is why you wield so much power?"

"Mmm-hmm," Jiang Man smiled without a word.

Right now it wasn’t convenient for her to reveal her identity, but once the brain instrument project was made public, she wouldn’t need to hide it and could give her fifth brother a huge surprise.

"It’s cold in Beicheng; remember to bring more cotton clothes," she advised.

Hu Xianyun smiled, "I spend years in Antarctica, don’t worry, I have plenty of warm clothes."

The two said no more, reaching a tacit understanding.

At this moment, Hu Hao approached, overhearing their secret plans.

"What’s this all about? Little sister, you’re taking the fifth brother to Beicheng?"

"It’s none of your business," Hu Xianyun replied coldly.

Hu Hao retorted immediately, "Don’t act so brotherly; I’m the fourth son. By rank of seniority as a brother, I come before you!"

"..." Jiang Man was speechless, what kind of childish line was that?

"Little sister, fifth brother wants to go to Beicheng, and so do I," Hu Hao immediately blinked, speaking in a cajoling tone.

"Take me with you, I’ve never been to Beicheng despite having grown so much!"

He nudged Jiang Man with his elbow, coaxing, "Please?"

"How old are you, wanting me to take you? Can’t you go by yourself?" Jiang Man rolled her eyes.

"I could go by myself, of course, but in Beicheng, you have to show me around!"

"Fourth brother, can’t you stop messing around? I thought you had matured a bit with that Dairin Miwa issue, but now you’re back to playing these silly games? Always thinking about fun!" Hu Xianyun said with a disgusted face.

Hu Hao rolled his eyes, "I definitely have my reasons for going to Beicheng."

Actually, he had taken a liking to that girl named Jiang Man and wanted to follow her to Beicheng to spend more time with her...
