In the restroom.

Song Xiao gave a generous tip to a waiter to run an errand and buy him a new shirt.

While waiting, he lit a cigarette and stood by the window, puffing smoke into the air.

He held his phone in his hand and called his personal detective.

“How’s it going? Did you find out why Jiang Man had a shotgun wedding?”

“I found out,” said the detective, looking over the information he had gathered. “Jiang Man’s sister Jiang Rou was fancied by an old man with the last name Yang. The Jiang family took 880,000 from them but didn’t want to raise a daughter, so they made their biological daughter take her place.

Unfortunately, on the day of the civil registration, Mr. Yang got food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. He didn’t make it to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and due to some mistake, Jiang Man ended up marrying Lu Shao instead.”

“So that’s what happened,” Song Xiao narrowed his eyes, nodding in understanding.

“Song Shao, why are you always investigating Jiang Man? I must advise you, one should not covet a friend’s wife…”

“What nonsense are you talking about? She’s now my god-sister!” Song Xiao ended the call in displeasure, simultaneously putting out his cigarette in the ashtray.

He had heard a bit about Jiang Man’s situation but had not expected her to be more pitiable than the rumors suggested.

Being abandoned by her biological parents was bad enough, but even after they acknowledged her, they didn’t show any affection; she was just used to substitute for their adopted daughter in marriage.

If an ordinary girl encountered such a family, she would have probably collapsed by now, right?

But not Jiang Man.

Jiang Man was resilient!

She possessed a strong aura, one that was powerfully beyond what most people could perceive.

The more Song Xiao learned about Jiang Man, the more he admired her.

“Song Shao, your shirt has arrived.”

Just as his thoughts wandered, the waiter interrupted him.

He was holding a clothing gift box with the utmost respect.

…

Meanwhile, in the cruise ship’s banquet hall.

As the ship had already set sail, the cocktail party officially began.

Soon enough, many men and women gradually gathered in the banquet hall.

The men were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and the women were all carefully dressed in various beautiful cocktail dresses.

Many had already started exchanging business cards.

Some were even quick enough to invite each other aside and left for the cruise’s guest rooms.

Jiang Man was alone, hugging her phone and playing games.

She had clearly chosen a corner spot, yet her appearance simply stood out too much.

Despite only wearing casual light blue shorts, a white T-shirt, and matching white shoes,

her superior long legs were too eye-catching.

She lazily stretched out her legs, her profile cold and detached, and her high ponytail accentuated her full vitality.

When every other woman was dressed up intricately, her simple outfit naturally stood out.

“Excuse me, miss, could we get to know each other?”

Soon, the first man approached to strike up a conversation.

Jiang Man didn’t even look up, completely focused on her game, “Sorry, I’m here on a matchmaking appointment for someone else.”

“My apologies for disturbing you,” the man said awkwardly with a smile, picked up his wine glass, and walked away.

After a short while, a second man approached.

Just like the first, he left awkwardly.

And then a third.

And a fourth.

…

Not far away at the Western dining table, Yu Qing muttered in surprise, “Why are so many men hitting on her?”

Zhang Yanyan was holding her phone, sneakily taking photos and getting more irritated by the minute.

Exactly! Why wasn’t anyone approaching her and Yu Qing?

“Yanyan, finally, a man is sitting down…” When she saw Song Xiao sit opposite Jiang Man, Yu Qing immediately became infatuated.

Song Xiao had changed into a light blue shirt and his short hair was neatly styled.

His skin was snowy white, and his peach blossom eyes shimmered with a soft light, enticing without his realizing it.

“He looks just like a male celebrity!” Yu Qing couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

She had never seen such a handsome man in real life before.

This man appeared to be a towering six feet tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Even without being close to him, Yu Qing felt that he must smell very good.

“Doesn’t he look a lot like a male celebrity named Wang Hedi?”

“He does resemble him quite a bit,” Zhang Yanyan nodded in agreement, jealousy already twisting her face.

She stared at the video being recorded on her phone and purposefully zoomed in the focus.

Then, she pressed the shutter hard.

After finishing a round of games, Jiang Man carelessly stuffed her phone into her pocket.

She picked up the stemmed glass, swirled it, and asked Song Xiao, “What do you think? See anyone you fancy at first sight? Go up and say hello.”

Song Xiao looked around with little interest.

When he noticed Zhang Yanyan taking a stealthy photo of him, he generously waved at her.

Zhang Yanyan got startled and quickly switched her phone camera to selfie mode.

“The charm of this young master is truly great; there are a couple of girls over there who can’t take their eyes off me.”

Song Xiao smiled slightly, smiling so dazzlingly it could flip the world upside down.

Jiang Man rolled her eyes and turned her head nonchalantly.

When her gaze briefly touched upon Yu Qing, she frowned, feeling that the other woman looked somewhat familiar.

As her eyes fell on Zhang Yanyan, Zhang Yanyan, feeling guilty, suddenly stood up and walked toward the deck.

Jiang Man found this person strange.

“Yanyan, she saw us!” Yu Qing followed Zhang Yanyan’s pace, and the two nearly fled to the deck.

Zhang Yanyan, not wanting to draw things out, planned to post the photos now and then quickly delete them.

Just as she faced the river and opened her phone’s photo gallery, feverishly tapping away, someone suddenly slapped her shoulder.

“Ah!” Zhang Yanyan, with a thief’s guilty conscience, let out a sharp scream.

She was so frightened when she turned around and saw Jiang Man standing behind her that she nearly threw her phone into the river.

Jiang Man, quick to react, snatched the phone away.

She flipped through several photos quickly, her brows furrowed, her tone dark with a cold murderous intent, “You’re taking pictures of me without my permission?”

There were a total of seven stealthy shots of her, each with a different man in the frame.

“I didn’t take photos of you! Why are you so vain? We’re both women, what do I have to gain from photographing you? Do you have some flesh on your chest that I don’t?”

Zhang Yanyan hadn’t expected to be caught red-handed.

She had her own way of dealing with such situations, which was to be aggressively confrontational and louder than anyone else.

Anyway, she would never admit to what she had done.

“What’s going on?” Song Xiao strode over, intending to stand up for Jiang Man.

Jiang Man’s face was tense as she opened the other apps running on the phone, only to discover that this woman was actually trying to post the stealthy photos of her on Weibo!

She was just about to delete the photos.

Zhang Yanyan suddenly went crazy, snatched back the phone and, with both hands, shoved Jiang Man hard, trying to push her into the river.

Jiang Man was incredulous.

Luckily, Song Xiao quickly caught her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

Jiang Man staggered a couple of steps, momentarily at a loss as to what this girl was going through.

Taking stealthy pictures for a Weibo post was outrageous enough, but did she just now really try to push her into the river? Was it to silence her?

“Manman, are you okay?” Song Xiao was horrified, quickly changing positions while holding onto Jiang Man.

Jiang Man swiftly regained her composure and shook her head, “I’m fine.”

“However, she’s not!” Before Zhang Yanyan could react, Jiang Man lifted her foot and kicked out fiercely, accurately and ruthlessly sending the other woman flying.

“Ah— Help—” Zhang Yanyan fell backward, almost instinctively crying out for help.

Yu Qing stood by, frozen in shock.

Splash—

Following a loud splash, Yu Qing finally reacted, yelling frantically, “Help! Somebody help! Someone fell in the water! She can’t swim! She can’t swim!”
