The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius
Chapter 181: That Instructor is Your Brother-in-law

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: That Instructor is Your Brother-in-law

Jiang Man’s lips curled into a smile.

When she exchanged glances with Lu Xingzhou, she lightly sneered.

She wondered who had regarded him as an excellent instructor. It couldn’t be through backdoor influence, could it?

Contrary to her good mood, Lu Xingzhou had a scowl on his face, his expression gloomy.

He had witnessed the romantic confession of Lu Qingsong just moments ago.

Dressed in a camouflage uniform, blended among a group of instructors, and under the dark night sky.

He merged into the crowd, and aside from his excellent physique attracting attention, his face was barely visible to others.

But it was different for Jiang Man.

During Lu Qingsong’s confession, all eyes were on her.

Whether it was the stares or the whispers, she undoubtedly became the center of attention tonight.

"Now, please have our outstanding students put garlands around the necks of our excellent instructors!"

Following the clear voice of the host, the students neatly lifted the garlands from their own necks and hung them around the necks of the instructors they faced.

The instructors bowed their heads, ready to receive their honors.

Lu Xingzhou was so tall that Jiang Man had to tiptoe slightly to put the garland around his neck.

As she leaned forward slightly with the garland, Lu Xingzhou’s delicate and handsome face also moved closer.

Their foreheads almost touched.

The man’s voice was husky, with a hint of petulance, "Miss Jiang, I want to confess to you as well. What do you think?"

Jiang Man lifted her eyelids and hung the garland around his neck, "Stop joking."

"Not joking, but I am angry now, the kind that won’t be easily soothed..."

With that, Lu Xingzhou stretched out his arms, pulled Jiang Man into his embrace, and hugged her.

This move stunned Jiang Man.

"Mind the situation!" she warned sternly.

Lu Xingzhou grinned mischievously, as if to punish her, and deliberately pinched her waist.

The pinch made Jiang Man shiver and he finally released her contentedly.

The other instructors and students looked at each other upon seeing this.

Was there a hugging segment in the farewell ceremony?

Everyone was confused, but they all embraced each other tacitly.

Unlike the tight embrace between Lu Xingzhou and Jiang Man, theirs were formally and socially.

The stage was far away, and the audience beneath couldn’t see clearly.

Only those on stage knew what was really happening.

The host witnessed all of this, paused momentarily, then quickly reacted, "Applause please, all new students stand up and bid farewell to our dear instructors!"

On the vast parade ground, thousands of new students stood up in unison.

The applause thundered, echoing far and wide.

Listening to the enthusiastic applause, the affection in Lu Xingzhou’s eyes deepened even more.

His strong sense of competitiveness told him that if the young boy could give Jiang Man romance, so could he!

One day, he would make the whole school clap and cheer for him and Jiang Man.

...

After the ceremony, the instructors lined up to board the pickup trucks and leave.

The students waved them off.

Many girls teared up, crying loudly.

As Jiang Man walked down from the stage, Wen Rui quickly followed her.

"Cousin, I saw everything just now... You and that instructor were hugging very tightly, it looked very, very—"

Wen Rui didn’t dare to finish the sentence.

Her aunt and uncle mentioned that her cousin married an older man.

Initially, she thought the older man was Lu Zhendong, but her cousin said it wasn’t.

She was too embarrassed to dig deeper and ask who her brother-in-law really was.

But she was sure it couldn’t be the young, handsome instructor from just now.

Although the instructor had only taught them one lesson, he made a lasting impression on her.

Unlike other instructors, who were all burly, he was different.

Tanned healthy skin, a perfect figure neither too slim nor too bulky, walking with the noble air of a runway model.

Many girls were interested in this instructor, eager to try and get his contact information.

But he only showed up for that one shooting class, and then he was never seen again.

She was actually quite curious about him.

"Cousin... I know I shouldn’t be nosy, you’re outstanding, and you have many admirers... many excellent boys and men are crazy about you, but you need to hold your ground..."

Wen Rui’s voice grew quieter as she spoke.

She knew she shouldn’t meddle in other’s affairs.

But she really liked her cousin Jiang Man and wanted the best for her.

She hoped this wouldn’t lead to any family conflict that would be hard to explain to her brother-in-law.

"Hmm?" Jiang Man pocketed her hands and walked leisurely away from the playground towards the parking lot.

Upon hearing Wen Rui’s words, she suddenly stopped walking and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Silly girl, you’ve misunderstood."

"Misunderstood?"

"That instructor is none other than your brother-in-law," Jiang Man said softly, not lessening the smile on her lips.

"Ah? My brother-in-law?" Wen Rui couldn’t believe it, "No, that’s not right, his age... and also, his image and demeanor don’t match."

"What’s not to match?" Jiang Man raised her eyebrows.

"Uncle and Aunt told the relatives in the village... they said you got involved with an old man, who’s quite rich, lives in Rong Mansion, owns a villa worth hundreds of millions, yet is very stingy, only gave them 880,000 as a wedding gift."

"He is indeed an old man, not young either," Jiang Man couldn’t help but laugh.

"No, no, no, Uncle and Aunt meant that the old man is married twice, has kids about your age, and also said the old man is fat and big-eared."

"Pfft." Jiang Man burst into laughter right there.

Her biological parents’ talent for making up stories was truly unique, creating fiction from thin air with incredible preciseness.

"I’ll set up a dinner sometime, introduce your brother-in-law to you, and then you’ll see," she said.

"...Okay!" Wen Rui was excited, clenching her fists and speaking loudly.

Jiang Man tilted her head and raised her eyebrows at her: "Then I’ll head back first."

"Okay." Wen Rui nodded obediently.

Watching Jiang Man get into her large G-Wagon and drive away, her heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Her cousin was actually going to introduce her to her brother-in-law?

It seemed her Uncle and Aunt hadn’t even seen the true face of her brother-in-law according to cousin Jiang Rou.

Wen Rui was overjoyed, spinning around on the spot uncontrollably.

She took out her phone, intending to share this exciting news first with Lu Zhan.

As fate would have it, Lu Zhan called her at that moment.

"How come you didn’t come to the bar today?" His voice was soft.

"Ah?" Wen Rui was startled and then realized after a moment, "You mean the bar gig tonight? School threw a farewell party for the instructors, so I didn’t go."

"Hmm." Lu Zhan acknowledged.

"So, you went to the bar?" Wen Rui asked tentatively, her heart fluttering.

"Passed by," Lu Zhan’s tone was still mild.

"Oh." Wen Rui felt a bit disappointed.

"Actually, it wasn’t just passing by," Lu Zhan smirked. "I was worried about you singing there too late, so after finishing my work, I dropped by."

Hearing this explanation, Wen Rui’s mood lightened instantly.

"My cousin said she wants to introduce my brother-in-law to me. I want to ask you, what do men like you prefer? I’d like to prepare a gift for my brother-in-law when we meet."

"Meeting your brother-in-law?" Lu Zhan’s voice involuntarily rose.

Wen Rui called him uncle and called the brother-in-law accordingly.

Following the family hierarchy, should he address Wen Rui as Auntie?

"Aren’t your sister and your brother-in-law in a secret marriage? How come she suddenly wants to introduce you?" Lu Zhan asked, a slight sourness in his tone.

"One of our military training instructors this year... is actually my brother-in-law... my cousin just told me," Wen Rui whispered, covering her mouth with her hand.

Lu Zhan sounded as if he was hearing a fantastical tale: "What?"

What peculiar role-play was his uncle engaging in?

To go to his aunt’s school and be her instructor?
