Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Eyes Better Than Millions of Machines?

Jiang Rou extended an olive branch to him, and the reason he caught it was so that he could show off his presence in front of Miss Jiang Man.

Now that the miss needed his help, he would not hesitate to walk through fire and water for her!

"Thanks."

After Jiang Man hung up the phone, she was still in a daze.

It wasn’t until Hu Ming nonchalantly carried over two big bowls of fish balls and deliberately passed in front of her.

"Smell that, doesn’t it smell good?"

Inhaling the aroma, Jiang Man suddenly felt a wave of hunger.

Everything will straighten out when the ship reaches the pier, and every challenge will be met appropriately.

After all, Vermilion Bird had been pampering her since she was a child.

Even if things didn’t work out on Azure Dragon’s side, by the time it reached Vermilion Bird, the news would be intercepted.

She just hoped that after the research project was successfully completed, she and Lu Xingzhou could also have a good outcome.

By then, returning to her foster father’s side would be like nothing had ever happened.

"First bite into this fish ball, then add this special secret spicy yellow pepper sauce. Let me tell you, the taste is phenomenal!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he demonstrated himself.

The fish ball burst with flavor, scalding hot, making him howl in pain.

He stuck out his tongue and fanned it with his hand like a little dog.

This scene made Jiang Man unable to suppress her chuckles.

What happened to the playboy persona? Why did he seem like such a clown?

"Nobody is competing with you, what’s the rush?"

"Don’t worry about me, just eat it my way... it’s delicious..." Hu Ming said, enduring the pain on his tongue, but still promoting.

Jiang Man smiled indulgently.

She wondered if it was because they shared some of the same blood.

Having been together for only two days, the sibling-like affection felt very natural.

"Alright, alright, I’ll eat it your way!"

Jiang Man humored him.

Just as she was about to bite into the fish ball, Lu Xingzhou cautioned, "Careful, it’s hot."

"Mhm," Jiang Man gently bit the edge of the fish ball.

Just as she was about to take a second bite.

’Smack’.

An expensive Hermes handbag was slammed down on the small dining table.

The table wobbled, almost falling apart.

"Boss, get me a serving of fish balls too!"

The group looked up to see Chen Anna, dressed in a very trendy manner.

Wearing a black leather jacket and black leather pants.

Her hair was tied back in a high ponytail, and she wore heavy smoky makeup, the scent of her perfume was very strong.

Hu Ming waved his hand disdainfully, trying to fan away the scent of the perfume: "What trouble are you here to stir up now?"

He was annoyed by her tendency to create issues out of nothing.

Chen Anna glanced at him.

Both had the same reaction—mutual disdain.

"I’m not here for you!" she said, pulling up a stool next to Jiang Man, leaning in with a smile on her face.

"Do you know how to appraise gems?"

Jiang Man blew on the fish ball, took a gentle bite, and dipped it in the spicy yellow pepper sauce as Hu Ming suggested, discovering indeed a unique flavor.

Chen Anna seemed like a different person, not annoyed at all, but rather chattering non-stop: "Yesterday, I went to the most reputable jewelry appraisal center in Harbor City, just like you said, those earrings were fake! I really didn’t expect it, Xu Chengzhou that bastard actually gave me counterfeit goods! I thought he was truly sincere with me, but it turned out to be all fake!"

Enraged, she slammed the table.

Her antics were too much, disturbing everyone from enjoying their meal.

Shortly after, she pulled out several tissues and blew her nose vigorously.

"He told me all that CP hype is just the company’s arrangement; he, being a minor artist, has no say. I was deceived by his lies, pushed his agency, promoting him aggressively. Do you know, the series he and Zhou Ying starred in, that ancient romantic drama, I funded aggressively! Three hundred million for a single show, and more than a hundred million was spent on buying media coverage and hiring online manipulators! I thought he truly cared about me, so I reciprocated with sincerity, only to find my sincerity was a joke!"

"Big sister, can you blow your nose further away? It’s affecting my meal," Jiang Man said exasperatedly.

Does this Miss Chen have a problem?

Encountered a scumbag, go cry to that scumbag, why come crying to her?

"Okay, I’ll sit further away," Chen Anna moved her stool and sat next to Hu Ming.

Hu Ming: "..."

"Jiang Man, I was wrong before, I misjudged you," said Chen Anna, her nose turning red from crying, her smoky makeup smeared across her dirty face.

"I apologize, I’m sorry, can we be friends?"

After speaking, she enthusiastically reached out her hand.

Jiang Man looked up, staring at her as if she were a monster.

Seeing this, Chen Anna got up and switched to using both hands, bending down with even more earnestness.

"I really want to be friends with you, please let me!"

"..."

"If you don’t want to be friends, I’ll take you as my master!" Chen Anna suddenly changed her tone, surprising everyone with her statement.

They didn’t know that Chen Anna had a passion for stones, especially gems.

All her money, other than spending on bags and jewelry, was spent on stones.

This was why when Xu Chengzhou became famous and ’went broke’ to send her a pair of gemstone earrings, she was so touched.

It was exactly what she liked, a gift that really reached her heart.

"Master, please accept your disciple’s bow!"

Saying this, Chen Anna knelt on one knee, holding her hands in a fist.

Her expensive leather pants scraped against the rough ground, and she did not care at all.

She remained in her kneeling posture, waiting for Jiang Man’s response.

"What’s going on here? Chen Anna, what are you performing now?" Hu Ming’s eyes nearly rolled to the top of his head.

Crazy.

Last night, she suddenly claimed she lost her earring and wanted to search Manman.

Today, she’s saying she wants to take Manman as her master.

She’s simply not right in the head!

Jiang Man took another bite of her fish cake, unhurried.

After chewing slowly, she gave Chen Anna a slight glance, "I don’t take disciples."

"Are you implying that you really understand stone appraisal? You knew the Empress Eugenie Earrings were fake by one glance, yet when I went to the appraisal center, they used machines worth millions and took a long time to produce a report. Even machines are not as sharp as your eyes!"

Chen Anna kept talking excitedly.

"There’s an underground jewelry auction, would you come with me and check it out? With your skills, identifying the authenticity of those jewels would be a matter of minutes, wouldn’t it?"

"Not interested," Jiang Man continued eating her fish cake.

When her mouth turned red from the spice, Lu Xingzhou naturally handed her a sugar water, "Have some to reduce the spice."

"Thanks," Jiang Man said instinctively.

"Why thank you for something that’s between husband and wife?" Lu Xingzhou, however, was not happy.

He felt that this kind of care between spouses was a normal thing.

Perhaps when Jiang Man stopped saying ’thanks’ to him, they would truly be close without any barriers?

Chen Anna, completely indifferent to having eaten a full mouth of ’dog food’, burning with anticipation, "So, you accompany me to this jewelry auction, and when we’re back, I’ll immediately break it off with Xu Chengzhou, and then get together properly with your elder brother! I’ll settle down, and I promise not to mess around outside anymore."

"Hey? Am I eager for you to marry me?" Hu Ming continued to roll his eyes.

Chen Anna immediately snapped at him, "Who are you to decide whether I marry or not? Why don’t you go and get our marriage annulled with your daddy and my daddy, then talk?"

Hu Ming was left speechless.

Chen Anna remained forceful, "I’ll announce to the whole world from now on, I’ll only be loyal to you, Hu Ming, how about that?"

"Not so much..." Hu Ming mumbled, his mouth twitching.

Stealing a glance at Jiang Man, he couldn’t help but smile.

Others didn’t know, but his frivolous reputation and rumors with various female stars were all to spite Chen Anna.

No one knew his true feelings, though he and Chen Anna weren’t childhood sweethearts, they had grown up together.

To him, she was a joyful nemesis.

All those signs of hostility and bickering whenever he saw her —

Were all an act...
