Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Jiang Man Wants to Impersonate Jiang Man
The ladies of high society were just getting ready to eagerly answer Jiang Man’s questions.
Just then, a woman wearing a leopard print bodycon dress and white over-knee boots walked over.
She wore a smile on her face, appearing very familiar and comfortable with the situation.
She was decked out in jewelry, with a valuable pearl necklace around her neck and fingers of her left hand covered in gemstone rings.
Dressed in flashy bling, but somehow it still came off as very tacky.
"Absolutely not Jiang Man, I’d stake my life on it!"
"Hello, my name is Jiang Rou, Jiang Man’s sister," said Jiang Rou with a beaming smile, extending her hand.
Jiang Man paused for a moment, looking the other up and down, and couldn’t help frowning.
Are they really sisters? Actual sisters or cousins? Or perhaps second cousins?
They didn’t look alike at all, not just in appearance, but their demeanors were worlds apart too.
Jiang Man always seemed so cool and aloof, with a beautiful face and figure, but she gave off the impression of being a total problem child.
This Jiang Rou, though decked out in flashy clothes, seemed very approachable, but there was something about her that screamed ’nouveau riche’.
"Sisters? Really related?" Jiang Man responded, extending her hand.
Jiang Rou’s mouth twitched, and she smiled uneasily, "Same mom and dad, what do you think?"
"I apologize," said Jiang Man with a slight nod.
Jiang Rou raised her eyebrows, "I heard your discussion just now. If Mr. Nan really has a ’beiyueguang’ named Jiangman, it’s definitely not my sister. I’m her family; I know her best!"
"Mr. Nan... his ’beiyueguang’ is named Jiangman?" Jiang Man was stunned, hardly believing her ears.
Life is full of coincidences, but to encounter two at once, her luck was truly amazing!
"Could you elaborate for me?" Jiang Man asked, turning toward the high society ladies, her doe eyes gleaming with a soft and fragile light, eliciting sympathy from the onlookers.
The ladies wanted to ingratiate themselves with her, so naturally, they spilled everything.
"From what I’ve heard, when Mr. Nan was a child, he was kidnapped by human traffickers and suffered a lot. When the family found him, he was covered in wounds. During his hospital stay, there was a little girl in the next bed named Jiangman with a heart condition. They were both unwell, both had surgeries, and became friends through their illnesses. It was during their time in the hospital that they became very good friends. Afterwards, they were discharged and taken away by their families, but Mr. Nan never stopped thinking about that girl from the next bed, vowing to find her, to marry no one else but her."
"Wow... to think Mr. Nan is such a romantic!"
"Isn’t he? With the Nan Family being so influential and wealthy, everyone in the family couldn’t wait for Mr. Nan to get married and have an heir, but no matter how much pressure they put on him, it was to no avail. If he doesn’t find Jiangman, he probably plans to stay single for life!"
A group of high society ladies sighed in commiseration.
But Jiang Man wasn’t just listening to it as a story, she was cleverly projecting herself into the role of the little girl in the next bed.
For him, with such a tragic childhood, that little girl must have been a bright ray of light, right?
If only she were that little girl, wouldn’t it be wonderful?
"So, that little girl... Mr. Nan never found her, right?" Jiang Man inquired seriously.
The ladies looked at each other, all somewhat unsure.
"He probably hasn’t found her, or else Mr. Nan would have announced it to the world by now, right?"
"I think so too."
"Secretary Shen Yu is handling this matter; actually, you could just ask Shen Yu."
"Shen Yu, huh? She’s pretty standoffish, doesn’t really like to mingle with us."
"A secretary, acting all high and mighty, putting on airs for whom exactly!"
Jiang Man wasn’t interested in the gossip about Shen Yu; her mind was aflutter with thoughts, and she couldn’t help but smile as she bowed her head.
If... and she meant if... if that little girl had been sought for so many years and still hadn’t been found, pretending to be her might just be feasible!
Jiang Man had impersonated her in a shotgun wedding with Lu Xingzhou, and when the Lu Family found out, they didn’t call it off, nor did they rage in embarrassment; instead, they doted on her to high heavens.
Therefore, she was quite confident that if she pretended to be this Jiangman and made her way to Nan Juefeng, with her own charm and sincerity, the result would be just as blissful as Jiang Man’s and Lu Xingzhou’s!
While Jiang Man daydreamed, contented with her thoughts, a smartphone flashed in front of her face.
"You’re the second young miss of the Lu Family, right? Can we be friends?"
Jiang Rou’s sweet voice intruded, tinged with eagerness but also a touch of arrogance.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Rou, the wife of the Qinglong Gang leader!"
Jiang Man blinked, her eyes wide with shock.
Although she was not a native of Beicheng, after graduating from vocational school, she came to Beicheng to look for work and became a preschool teacher.
Even though her occupation was just a preschool teacher, the name of the Qinglong Gang was thunderous in her ears.
Back when she was renting a place while working as a preschool teacher, members of the Qinglong Gang often came to collect protection money in her area.
Her impression of the Qinglong Gang was that they were barbaric, fierce, and not to be trifled with.
At that time, her colleagues at the kindergarten told her that the Qinglong Gang was Beicheng’s largest criminal gang, led by Liu Qinglong. This gang was very ruthless, with several hundred enforcers, and was the kind of force you’d flee from on sight!
Jiang Man wanted to run, but she found herself too scared, and with high heels on, she could hardly move a step.
"Hmm? Can’t we be friends?" Jiang Rou raised an eyebrow.
"It’s not that..." Jiang Man forced a smile with difficulty, swiped her phone’s screen, and added each other as friends.
Jiang Rou made an ’OK’ gesture and shook her phone, "Let’s contact each other with this."
Jiang Man nodded stiffly.
The next second, her phone ’dinged’ with a message.
Jiang Rou: How is your relationship with my sister, also known as your third sister-in-law?
Jiang Man’s gaze fell on the characters ’third sister-in-law’ and she furrowed her brow.
Soon she shook her head, guessing the other party had typed too hastily and made a mistake.
It was not the third sister-in-law, but the fourth.
Jiang Man: My relationship with sister-in-law is very good, why do you ask?
Jiang Rou: My sister is hypocritical, violent, she beats our parents and hitting me is her routine.
Jiang Man: ...Really?
She shuddered all over, and her eyes involuntarily glanced toward Jiang Man, who was drinking champagne by herself next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Jiang Rou: Time reveals a person’s true nature, believe it or not, up to you!
While the two were texting, a beautiful woman suddenly raised her voice in the hall and proclaimed, "Time for mahjong, we’re three players short, who else wants to join in?"
At the mention of mahjong, the scene instantly became lively.
The venue for this social gathering was a large club, which housed card rooms, billiard rooms, a gym, indoor basketball, bowling, and more.
Outside, there was golf and even a horse-riding track.
With a variety of activities, there was enough for everyone to find something they enjoyed.
"Me, me, I want to play!"
"I want to play too."
"Count me in!"
"Only two mahjong tables, that’s not enough to play with."
"No worries, losers switch out, what do you all think?"
Seeing a crowd push into the card room, Jiang Man immediately lost interest in playing.
She glared up at Wu Yingfan, who shrugged helplessly before taking big steps forward.
"Sister Man, I was just asking her to call one more person, I really didn’t expect so many people to join in on the fun..."
"Then you guys play, I’ll go for a stroll," Jiang Man said, putting down her empty cup and glancing out the window.
Spotting a few people horse riding, and with few people around, she decided to take a couple of laps as well.
"Then I won’t play either, I’ll accompany you," Wu Yingfan said, following closely behind Jiang Man.
As Jiang Man left the hall, Jiang Man, who was surrounded by the crowd, followed her figure with her eyes.
Quite coincidentally, she just so happened to see a figure horse riding on the green lawn.
The man was dressed in a white riding outfit, resembling a prince on a white horse from a fairy tale, and it was none other than Nan Juefeng, the man she had been thinking about...
