Chapter 17 -17: A Resounding Slap in the Face, She is the Supreme VIP!
“You?” Lu Xingzhou lifted his eyelids, staring at the girl in front of him with absolute certainty.
Whether in terms of age or temperament, she didn’t seem like someone who could know Dr. M.
Yet her gaze was extraordinarily firm, her eyes flickering with a stern chill.
Her stare was intimidating, not at all joking.
“Jiang Man, enough is enough.” It wasn’t until a good while later that Lu Xingzhou finally spoke coolly.
Jiang Man wasn’t angry.
Putting herself in the shoes of Lu Xingzhou and Song Xiao, she could actually understand.
After all, she was just a common family’s daughter who had been separated for twenty years, an unregistered citizen who had only attended school for three years.
A person like her claiming to know Dr. M would normally make people think she was crazy.
“Dr. M will contact you in a bit, just wait.” Jiang Man didn’t want to waste words.
More talk was of no use, no amount of talking was as effective as quick action.
Leaving behind those words, she pocketed her hands and returned to her room.
Closing the room door, she sent a message to her subordinates with instructions, then started playing a game.
A few minutes later, the living room rang with the clear sound of a cell phone ringing.
“BOSS, it’s Dr. M’s assistant calling…” Zhao Huai had been standing silently by the side.
The moment the phone rang, he could hardly believe it.
Could it be that madam really knew Dr. M?
She said Dr. M would contact the BOSS later, and he really did!
“Hello.” Lu Xingzhou took Zhao Huai’s phone, answering the call.
He listened for a while to the content on the other end, his brow furrowing slightly, “Okay, then we’ll do as the doctor says.”
After hanging up the phone, Song Xiao stepped forward impatiently, “How did it go? What did he say?”
“Dr. M has invited me to meet tomorrow at the usual time, same place.”
“Uh?” Song Xiao blinked, somewhat dubious, “No way! Does sister-in-law actually know Dr. M? Impossible! It must be a coincidence!”
How could that girl possibly!
Song Xiao would never believe Jiang Man had that kind of capability.
“Xingzhou, I’m coming with you tomorrow!” Song Xiao refused to give up hope.
Lu Xingzhou raised his eyelids, giving his good brother a look, and nodded.
After all, the Qi Baishi painting belonged to the Song Family. He owed the Song Family a favor.
If Song Xiao wanted to join in on the excitement, then let him come.
“I have work to do.” With matters temporarily settled, Lu Xingzhou suddenly stood up.
Uncertain about Jiang Man, he went to the guest room door and knocked.
“The door’s not locked.” A cool female voice came from inside, tinged with irritation.
Lu Xingzhou pushed the door open to see the girl sitting on a chair with her feet propped up on the desk, engrossed in a game on her phone.
The game’s voice chat was loud and chaotic, with the voices of various people coming through now and then.
“PentaKill!”
After the system announced a pentakill.
“Damn! Big bro, you’re too awesome!”
“Big bro, please add me as a friend, continue to carry us next game!”
“Oh my! Can it be that big bro is a pro player here to smash noobs?”
Lu Xingzhou heard the noisy voices, his brows knitting deeply.
When he had received Dr. M’s assistant’s call just now, he had truly doubted, thinking perhaps Jiang Man wasn’t bluffing, that she really did know Dr. M.
Now it seemed, he was overthinking it.
Jiang Man was a typical troubled girl.
For such a troubled girl, bragging and lying were nothing unusual, right?
“Many accidents lead to complications. If you feel unwell anywhere, make sure to ask the butler to call the family doctor. I’m busy with work and will eat dinner by myself.”
“OK.” Jiang Man didn’t look up, continuing her game.
A game ended in six minutes with the enemy’s base destroyed and their crystal pushed over.
After the game ended, all four teammates sent friend requests.
Jiang Man ignored them as if she was an untouchable flower on a high ridge, and continued to queue for solo matches.
She was used to fighting and killing alone, even in the game.
…
The next day.
Jiang Man slept in until noon before getting up.
Lu Xingzhou had a strict daily routine; he woke up at seven in the morning, went for a thirty-minute run, and then he’d have breakfast and head to the company.
In contrast to him, Jiang Man seemed like a listless salted fish, lying flat every day.
Had it not been for a meeting with Lu Xingzhou at Lanting Yajie that day, Jiang Man would have decided to sleep in a bit longer.
After a quick wash, she threw on a white T-shirt and a pair of loose bell-bottom pants. Slipping on flip-flops and donning a baseball cap, she walked out the door.
Her entire outfit was casually relaxed yet still managed to exude a cool vibe.
Catching a ride-hailing service, she headed straight for her destination.
Arriving at Lanting Yajie, it was just about lunchtime.
Luxury cars were packed outside the club, and those entering and exiting were all dressed to the nines, the air of opulence unmistakable.
Stepping out of the ride-hail car and standing in front of the club, Jiang Man appeared completely out of place.
The doorman reached out instinctively to stop her.
“Miss, this isn’t a place you can just wander into,” the doorman reminded kindly.
The rooms here had a minimum charge calculated by the hour, ten thousand per hour.
“I’ve booked a room…” Jiang Man hadn’t finished her sentence when she was interrupted by several honks from a horn behind her.
“Oh? Sister, what a coincidence,” from a BMW, the passenger-side window rolled down, and Jiang Rou’s face was full of surprise.
How could Jiang Man dare to embarrass herself by coming to such an upscale place?
“Sis, you surely didn’t see my Moments and come to mooch off us, did you?” Jiang Rou frowned.
“…” Jiang Man was speechless and rolled her eyes.
However, Jiang Rou stepped out of the car with a beaming smile, took a few quick steps to Jiang Man’s side, and opened her Moments: “Did you see this post?”
Jiang Man couldn’t be bothered to look: “I have a meeting, go do whatever you want!”
“Sis… still pretending? What are you even pretending for.” Jiang Rou was infuriated.
“Even if you have a salary of a hundred thousand a month, you couldn’t afford to be here. The room fee alone is ten thousand an hour, and for a meal it’s at least two hours, right? Plus the cost of the meal, don’t you need at least forty or fifty thousand?”
“Besides, you’ve only been working for a few days; haven’t even gotten your salary yet, have you?”
Jiang Man was annoyed to no end – how was Jiang Rou jumping around everywhere she went?

“Zhao Peng, one more pair of chopsticks wouldn’t bother you, right? My sister has never been to such a fancy club, so I thought I’d bring her along to open her eyes?” Jiang Rou said haughtily, turning to ask the man in the BMW.
Zhao Peng frowned slightly, “Fine, since I dote on you, bring your sister along. She went to all that trouble to block our way here; we can’t let her come here for nothing.”
“You heard that, right?” Jiang Rou turned around, her face beaming with smiles.
She was decked out in jewels and looked radiant; in contrast, Jiang Man’s attire was very plain.
In her eyes, she was a lady of high society, and Jiang Man was nothing but a beggar!
Giving a beggar a bite to eat was like doing charity.
“Hello, we have a reservation.” Jiang Rou, proud as a peacock, showed the electronic invitation on her phone to the doorman.
The doorman glanced at it and immediately invited her with reverence, “Oh, it turns out you’re one of our junior VIP customers. Please come in.”
“Here’s my invitation,” Jiang Man then remembered she had an invitation too.
She showed her phone to the doorman.
The doorman glanced at it, his eyes widened instantly, and he bowed deeply and quickly, “I’m so sorry, you are actually one of our supreme VIP customers!”
No sooner had he spoken than a group of people in suits arrived at the club.
With a great deal of ceremony, they lined up in two rows and bowed neatly and uniformly, welcoming Jiang Man’s entrance.
Jiang Rou was left completely dumbfounded.
What… what’s going on here?
