Chapter 14 -14: Sister Man Discovers Her Husband is the Richest Man
At this moment, Lu Corporation.
Lu Xingzhou had just finished an important senior meeting.
The board repeatedly pressured him, urging him to invite Dr. M at all costs.

Having no other choice, Xingzhou promised to personally take up the task.
In the president’s office, Zhao Huai had gathered all the information on Dr. M and handed it to Xingzhou.
Xingzhou studied it carefully.
Dr. M was very mysterious, with only one side-view photo available.
However, the side of the face was obscured by a cap, hiding the eyes and showing only a smooth jawline and the slightly upturned, haughty corner of the mouth.
Indeed, it was hard to discern the gender from this photo.
“Boss, don’t you think this side profile looks a bit like Jiang… looks a bit like the Madam?” Zhao Huai, after staring at the photo for a while, couldn’t help but speak out.
Lu Xingzhou frowned, “It does look a bit like her.”
But that was all it was, a semblance.
With all the imagination in the world, he wouldn’t dare link the renowned top scientist, coveted by famous international corporations and even nations, to a girl who was undocumented since childhood and had only three years of schooling.
“Call Dr. M’s assistant, tell them I would like to arrange a meeting, and the meeting gift is a genuine Qi Baishi artwork.”
Soon, Jiang Man, who was dining with her family, received the call from her subordinate.
At the mention of “a genuine Qi Baishi,” her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but smile.
While other girls cherished designer bags like Hermes and LV, she was only interested in calligraphy and antiques.
A genuine Qi Baishi was extremely valuable for collection.
People joked that one of his shrimp paintings was worth 100,000.
His casual artworks easily sold for millions.
In fact, the final auction prices often started in the billions!
Considering the meeting gift, Jiang Man finally agreed, “A meeting, is it? Okay, let him arrange the time and place.”
After hanging up, she pulled out a few tissues to wipe her mouth, “I’m full, suddenly got something to attend to.”
Saying so, she stood up to leave.
Seeing this, Hu Fangqin also stood up, “The car that dropped you off has left. Where do you plan to go now? It’s quite difficult to hail a cab here.”
“Rourou, you drive your sister there,” Jiang Yueping instructed.
Jiang Rou was instantly displeased. She did not want to drive for Jiang Man.
Jiang Man did not want to be alone with Jiang Rou either, so she coldly said, “No need for her to drive; not just anyone is qualified to drive me.”
“You…” Jiang Rou clenched her teeth in anger.
Pretending so much! How great do you think you are just because you work for the government?
Jiang Man scoffed derisively, her gaze penetrating, as if to say, ‘Yes, I am that great. What about it?’
Jiang Rou could only grit her teeth and swallow her frustration, furious.
After Jiang Man left, Hu Fangqin could no longer hold back, mumbling, “Brother Ping, what exactly is Manman doing for the government? It’s all so secretive.”
“Who cares what it is, as long as it brings in money,” Jiang Yueping replied uncuriously, his eyes only on the financial gain, “We should treat Manman better in the future.”
“Rest assured, I’ll definitely treat her like an ancestor.”
Hearing her parents’ conversation, Jiang Rou felt both angry and wronged.
Yet she couldn’t lash out; all she could do was swallow her grievances alone, vowing that one day she would make her parents regret, and Jiang Man would suffer!
…
After Jiang Man left the Tube Building, she indeed found it difficult to hail a cab.
This area was the old city district, full of narrow alleys and congested roads.
Many online taxis avoided this area due to the time wasted and little money made, so they seldom accepted fares from here.
Having no other option, Jiang Man resorted to scanning a shared electric scooter.
In the peak of summer, riding a scooter outside was indeed very hot.
Before long, her phone rang.
The assistant made a call, informing the other party of the time and place for their meeting.
Jiang Man checked the GPS, which showed that riding her bike there would take about half an hour.
“Lan Ting Gathering?” The name did sound quaint and elegant.
So, Jiang Man followed the GPS, pedaling towards the destination.
In the lane next to her, a flashy Lamborghini was speeding.
The driver was holding the steering wheel with one hand and talking on the phone with the other.
“Xingzhou, really, when the old man wanted to give you that Qi Baishi’s ‘Double Fish Playing in Water,’ you politely declined, and now you suddenly ask me for it, what’s going on? ”
“I need to give it as a gift,” the voice on the other end was indifferent.
“Give it to whom? The painting is worth 150 million! Aren’t you being too extravagant?”
“Cut the chatter.”
“Alright, alright, give me another twenty minutes, I’ll be at Lan Ting Gathering soon!”
Song Xiao had just hung up the phone when he realized he had taken the wrong road.
The GPS instructed him to veer right.
Seeing the green light for turning ahead, he directly switched lanes.
Luckily, Jiang Man reacted quickly, but she still scraped the Lamborghini.
With the demeanor of a spoiled rich kid, Song Xiao had no intention of slowing down to stop; instead, he sped off, overtaking other cars.
“Shit!” Under broad daylight, such a rogue?
He almost hit someone and didn’t even stop to check, instead acting as if nothing had happened?
If she hadn’t reacted swiftly just now, would she have been hit by that Lamborghini?
With this thought, Jiang Man twisted the throttle of her electric scooter.
But alas, the scooter’s top speed could only reach 50 horsepower.
She definitely couldn’t catch up by chasing hard.
Jiang Man glanced at her GPS and took a shortcut instead.
As the Lamborghini made another right turn, she performed a beautiful drift stop, forcing the Lamborghini to a halt.
“What? Hit and run? Looks like you’re a repeat offender?”
Song Xiao gasped, pulling down his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
Good lord!
He instantly recognized the girl before him, wasn’t she the same troublesome girl whom the old man had tried to reward with money at the night market last time?
“Indeed, enemies on a narrow road!” Song Xiao gritted his teeth, didn’t get out of the car but rolled down the window, and shouted outside, “I’m in a hurry, let’s settle this privately, how much do you need?”
While speaking, Song Xiao opened his Alipay: “Is 20,000 enough? I see you weren’t injured, but my car was scraped.”
Jiang Man’s principles were utterly shaken.
She had heard that North City had many spoiled heirs, who usually behaved very recklessly.
Seeing it really lived up to the reputation today.
She, who hated injustice, would shout at any misdeed and would not back down easily: “I’ve already called the police, and the traffic police will be here in a few minutes, so just wait.”
“Called the police? Damn!” Song Xiao cursed and patted his slicked-back hair.
He had never dealt with such a tough nut before!
Being fined and losing points were minor issues, but if he caused a delay in Xingzhou’s big plans, the problem would be serious!
“Hurry up and cancel the police report, or tell the police to handle it privately when they arrive. I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to waste with you,” Song Xiao still held a haughty young master demeanor.
Jiang Man wouldn’t indulge him, crossing her arms in front of her chest, she found a big tree to cool off under.
She took out her cellphone and called a subordinate: “Give me the contact info of the other party, I’ve run into an issue and can’t make it over.”
“Yes.”
Soon, her subordinate sent over a string of phone numbers.
Jiang Man glanced at it, finding it familiar.
What a twist of fate, Dragon King Temple flooded, and family members don’t recognize each other!
Turned out, her flash-marriage husband, Lu Xingzhou, was none other than the famous Mr. Lu, the president of Lu Corporation in North City!
