The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius
Chapter 156: Quite Fierce

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Quite Fierce

"I don’t drink," Jiang Man arched her eyebrows, her ten fingers flying back and forth over her phone.

A game was in a standstill for over ten minutes because she was distracted but, in the end, she still won.

"Do you love playing games, miss?" The guy moved closer, trying to cozy up to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man lazily lifted her eyebrows, speaking in an indifferent tone, "Just killing time when I’m bored."

"If you’re bored, we could chat. My job is to entertain guests by chatting."

The guy eagerly said, trying to figure out how to start a conversation, "Are you still in school, miss? You seem like a top student from your demeanor."

Jiang Man curled her lips slightly, "Just messing around."

"You’re too modest, miss. You look very intelligent. I’m quite accurate at reading faces. Would you like to try?"

Fearing Jiang Man would refuse, he quickly added, "If I’m not accurate, I’ll treat you to a drink of Casalrandi."

Upon hearing Casalrandi, Jiang Man became interested.

An eighteen hundred dollar bottle of wine, quite pricey, especially for a male escort—it was a big gesture.

"Sure, have a look."

With Jiang Man’s permission, the guy finally dared move a bit closer.

He opened his palm, gesturing for Jiang Man to hand hers over.

Jiang Man didn’t play coy, her palm facing up.

The guy took her hand, using the dim light in the private room to try to read her palm.

Because he couldn’t see clearly, he turned on his phone’s flashlight.

"Miss, you are destined for great wealth and prosperity!" the guy couldn’t help but exclaim.

Jiang Man scoffed, wanting to withdraw her hand.

She thought he might have some real skills, but it turned out he was only spouting flattering nonsense.

"My fate is in my own hands," Jiang Man said coldly, drawing back her hand.

The guy frowned, "But miss, your childhood wasn’t smooth. You were abandoned by your family, though later you met a benefactor."

"Oh?" Jiang Man’s hand, which was retracting, stretched out again.

She was a firm atheist.

But, she didn’t oppose other people’s reverence for the gods.

Originally, she was getting her fortune told to kill time, but she didn’t expect this young man to actually reveal something.

"Mmm-hmm, continue," Jiang Man raised her eyebrows.

"Miss, you’ll marry quite early... No, that’s not right. With your personality, you shouldn’t be tied down by marriage so early."

"Continue."

"Miss, you and your husband will have three kids..."

"Stop!" At this, Jiang Man found it a bit absurd.

She and Lu Xingzhou having three children?

As if!

The guy was about to say more.

Just then, bang!

The door to the private room was kicked open with a force that startled everyone inside.

A group of men in suits, majestic and imposing, stormed in.

The leading man had an exceptional presence, indicating his extraordinary status.

His followers, obviously bodyguards, made his importance clear.

"Brother Zhou, this..." Song Xiao’s eyes fell on the guy holding Jiang Man’s hand.

Their hands intertwined, they must be having a pleasant chat, right?

Dead silence.

A moment ago, the room had been buzzing; the next, everyone was stunned into silence, as if struck dumb.

Even if one didn’t know Lu Xingzhou, his aura, along with the bodyguards, suggested his remarkable status.

"Sir, could you have entered the wrong room by mistake?" a female escort asked.

She began to approach, seeking to ingratiate herself, but was stopped by his sharp glance, making her retreat with a stiff smile, too intimidated to make another sound.

"Wife, aren’t you going to explain?"

Lu Xingzhou strode up to Jiang Man, looking down at her from a height, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

"Wife?" Upon hearing this title, the host of escorts were so shocked they were rendered speechless.

So, he hadn’t entered the wrong room; had he come to catch... a cheater?

Tsk tsk, wrong choice of words.

In any case, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.

The public relations staff laughed stiffly amidst the cheerful noise.

Someone with sharp eyes recognized Lu Xingzhou.

"Isn’t he Lu Xingzhou, the CEO of Lu Corporation?"

"Really? Is that true?"

"Scram!" Lu Xingzhou glanced at the gossiping public relations staff, his voice deep and full of authority.

The public relations staff were startled and quickly ran off like scattering chicks.

In the blink of an eye, the private room had emptied significantly, leaving only two drunken shouters.

"Hey? Where’s my handsome man?"

"Hehehe, so he’s here!"

JOJO staggered to her feet and walked towards Song Xiao, crashing heavily into his arms.

Song Xiao was speechless, watching the frivolous woman in front of him make moves on him.

He pushed JOJO’s hands away with a look of disgust.

JOJO was too drunk to care and was persistent on hugging and kissing.

"Didn’t you say you liked old men like me?"

Lu Xingzhou didn’t care about the others, his mind and eyes full of Jiang Man.

As he asked the question, Song Xiao’s spine stiffened, and he turned his gaze to Lu Xingzhou in disbelief.

Would Xingzhou say something like that?

What the?

His ears hadn’t gone bad, had they?

With a look of watching a drama unfold, his eyes were filled with the intrigue of gossip.

His gaze shifted between Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou.

Jiang Man curled the corners of her mouth, looking calm, "Yes, I like old men like you."

What the heck???

Song Xiao’s eyes widened, utterly dumbfounded.

What were these two up to?

"Why come to a place like this then?" Lu Xingzhou leaned closer, his tone softened slightly, laced with a husky undertone.

Jiang Man, unblushing and calm, raised her eyebrows, "A girlfriend was heartbroken, I’m here to help her vent."

"Heartbreak... didn’t... never even started..."

JOJO started shouting, "It never began... no heartbreak..."

Jiang Man was surprised; when did the female star start understanding Chinese?

She pursed her lips, "Then it’s not heartbreak, a girlfriend just wanting to find a handsome guy to drink with."

Before she could say more, Lu Xingzhou stretched out his arm, wrapped it around her waist, and lifted her up.

"What are you doing!?" Jiang Man exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Xingzhou’s face was stern, but his voice couldn’t hide a trace of jealousy, "What, you don’t want to leave?"

"That’s not it." Jiang Man furrowed her brows, "I can walk on my own."

"Doesn’t matter." Lu Xingzhou’s tone was soothing, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Watching Xingzhou enact the domineering CEO whisking away his delicate wife, Song Xiao waved his hand, "Xingzhou, what about these two drunkards?"

"Help me take them home, thanks," came a cold voice from outside the private room.

"Ah? No way..." Song Xiao was instantly speechless.

Turning his head, he saw the woman clinging to him not letting go, while the man lay on the sofa, drunk like a pile of mud.

"Where do you live? I’ll take you home?" Song Xiao asked in English.

JOJO clung to his neck, suddenly getting closer.

"Handsome, how about dating me? I’ll earn the money, and you just have to be pretty."

"..."

Well.

The next second, Song Xiao’s lips were sealed by the woman’s kiss.

"Miss, please have some self-respect!"

Song Xiao tried to push JOJO away with his hand.

JOJO wouldn’t let go at all, but became even more aggressive.

Her kissing skills were good, and after a while, Song Xiao started to feel it.

Despite his years of experience with various women,

this was the first time he encountered someone as flavorful and aggressive as JOJO...!
