Chapter 57 -57: Sister Man Suddenly Gained Four Powerful Uncles!
“Auntie, if you don’t want to apologize, don’t force it. Even if you apologize on the surface, we pretend to be congenial, but you still dislike me behind my back. Why bother?”
Jiang Man sneered, wiped her mouth clean with two tissues.
She stood up, very impolitely, “Grandma, I need to go to driving school. If I’m late, the instructor will scold me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
“Ah… okay.” Mrs. Lu did not react for a moment.
It wasn’t until she saw the girl leave stubbornly that she realized belatedly.
“Manman, you’ve got personality!” The elderly woman did not stint in her praise, her eyes crinkling in amusement.
Lu Xuemei felt very embarrassed, as if she had been slapped in the face, “Mom, you see, it’s not that I don’t want to apologize, it’s Jiang Man who won’t accept it…”
“I’m also full,” Lu Xingzhou interrupted coldly before she could finish, “Zhao Huai, let’s go!”
“Ah? Zhou’er, have you eaten enough?” Meng Lian quickly got up to persuade him to stay.
She had gone to great lengths to prepare this meal.
Originally intending to please her nephew, she had not anticipated it would be ruined by her sister-in-law, turning her clever plans to foolishness.
“Little sister, be nicer to Manman in the future,” Meng Lian couldn’t help but complain.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuemei immediately felt aggrieved, “Second sister-in-law, isn’t it all for your and…”
“Let’s drop it! Let’s eat.”
“I’ve lost my appetite too,” Mrs. Lu suddenly said, her face turning stern.
Although she was old, she was not confused.
Her daughter and daughter-in-law were in cahoots, one playing good cop, the other bad cop—did they really think she hadn’t noticed?
“Let’s stop eating, clean up, and go back to the old house!”
…
When Lu Xingzhou walked out of the villa, Jiang Man was about to get into the nanny car.
Having seen her driving skills, he quickly stepped forward as the driver was about to start the car and tapped on the window, signaling the driver to stop first.
“Mr. Lu, what’s wrong?” Jiang Man rolled down the window, asking suspiciously.
Lu Xingzhou frowned, “You don’t need to go to driving school. I will have someone register you for the test; you just need to show up for it.”
“Oh,” Jiang Man nodded, her face indifferent. “Then thank you, Mr. Lu.”
After speaking, she pushed open the car door, got out with her hands in her pockets, and walked toward the villa’s gate.
“Where are you going?” Lu Xingzhou called out to her.
Jiang Man turned her head, puzzled, and spoke straightforwardly, “To hang out with Fangzi. I’ve got nothing else to do anyway.”
“If you really have nothing to do, come to the company with me,” Lu Xingzhou maintained a dignified and aloof demeanor, but his heart was in turmoil, fearful that Jiang Man would refuse.
As expected, Jiang Man spoke lightly, raising an eyebrow, “Why go to the company? I don’t want to.”
“You are, after all, my wife; don’t you have any curiosity toward my work? Don’t you want to understand it?”
“Sorry, I don’t.” Jiang Man said coldly, her clear eyes casting a cold light, “Grandma can’t see us here, so we really needn’t continue acting, right? It’s quite tiring.”
Lu Xingzhou was instantly at a loss for words.
Feeling confronted, he tensed up instantly: “Then let’s not act anymore!”
Having said that, he angrily pulled open the door of his Maybach and climbed in.
Over these days, Zhao Huai was the most truthful witness to the interactions between Lu Xingzhou and Jiang Man.
Others didn’t understand the BOSS—hell, even the BOSS himself was too caught up, but Zhao Huai was the clearheaded observer.
Alas, his boss had fallen in love!
However, Miss Jiang, with her masterful restoration skills, outdid China’s top-tier restoration masters.
Her English proficiency was also very high, making her fully capable as a translator.
Add to that first-rate driving skills, she even beat the world’s number one race car driver, Song Shao!
Considering such a talented person, he felt, the BOSS might not really be worthy of her.
“What are you standing around for? Aren’t you getting in the car?” Suddenly, a chilly voice interrupted Zhao Huai’s thoughts.
Lu Xingzhou vented his anger on Zhao Huai, showing no courtesy at all.
Jiang Man, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all; after watching the Maybach leave, she also stepped away.
On her way to villa number 12, her phone suddenly rang.
She took the phone out and glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.
The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.
If it wasn’t for the IP address of the unfamiliar number being from Beicheng, she would’ve probably rejected the call.
“Hello?” Jiang Man’s voice was cold, ready to hang up immediately if the caller was selling insurance.
Unexpectedly, a deep and magnetic voice came from the other end, “Is this Manman? I’m your uncle.”
“????” Jiang Man remained silent, suspecting the caller might be involved in telecom fraud.
Since when did she have an uncle?
“I’m downstairs at your house. Come down for a moment.”
After hearing this, Jiang Man didn’t think twice and hung up the phone.
Hilarious! Definitely a scammer!
A few minutes later, Jiang Man knocked on the door of villa number 12, waking Wu Yingfan.
Wu Yingfan, with his hair all tousled, didn’t care about his appearance in the slightest.
He grabbed a toothbrush and a cup of water and stood in front of Jiang Man to brush his teeth.
“Your uncle?” he exclaimed through the foam in his mouth.
Jiang Man lazily leaned back on the sofa and opened a game. “The nerve of scammers these days, claiming I have an uncle I didn’t even know about?”
Twenty minutes later, Wu Yingfan had finished getting ready and made himself a croissant to eat.
“Damn!” he exclaimed, biting into the bread and looking at the information he found on his phone. “Sis Man, you actually do have an uncle! Not just one, you have a second, third, and fourth uncle too!”
“What the hell?” Jiang Man scowled, putting the game down.
Wu Yingfan, with the bread in his mouth, eagerly brought the phone over to Jiang Man.
“Hu Guanghua, the richest man in Harbor City, is your uncle, Sis Man!”
Jiang Man looked at the profile on the phone, which stated that Hu Guanghua had started from scratch and struggled for twenty years to finally become the up-and-coming richest person in Harbor City.
The profile also included a story saying that Hu Guanghua was originally from Beicheng but had fallen on hard times, so he moved to Harbor City with his three brothers to make a living.
Today, his three brothers had also become wealthy merchants in Harbor City and together, the four brothers established the Hu Family, becoming the wealthiest and most powerful family in Harbor City!
The second brother, Hu Zonghua, had ventured into the entertainment industry and controlled nearly the entire entertainment system in Harbor City.
The third, Hu Yaohua, was in the catering business, owning a chain of Cantonese hotpot restaurants that now had several hundred branches inland.
The fourth, Hu Zuhua, was even more incredible as a major figure in the sports industry of Harbor City. The athletes he trained had won numerous medals worldwide and brought glory to the country!
“Unbelievable,” Jiang Man furrowed her brows tightly.
If all four uncles were so impressive, why hadn’t her mother tried to cozy up to them?
Given her mother’s and father’s personality, with relatives as wealthy and influential as these, wouldn’t they have long become sycophants?
“Keep searching; I want to know the relationship between my four uncles and my biological mother,” Jiang Man handed the phone back to Wu Yingfan.
Wu Yingfan shrugged: “Sis Man, you’re the true hacking master. I just learned some basics from you.”
“Didn’t I teach a disciple for this very purpose? Otherwise, why bother teaching you at all?” Jiang Man retorted.
Wu Yingfan chuckled: “Understood, understood. I’m just worried my skills might be too limited to find out more.”
“Half an hour, enough?” Jiang Man looked sharp and authoritative.
Wu Yingfan wasn’t joking anymore: “Enough! I’ll definitely find out everything for you, Sis Man!”
In less than twenty minutes, Wu Yingfan came back with a laptop, looking excited.
“Sis Man, I found out!”
