The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Chapter 390: My Wife Just Loves This Face of Mine

Jiang Nanshu’s joyful smile was like a needle to her eyes.

It turned out happiness really could make one smile.

But she had forgotten how to smile.

After finding out that Su Ran was friends with Jiang Nanshu, President Wu started making more of an effort to chat with Lu Qingyan.

"President Lu, did you see the product I sent you last night at eleven? This project has really great prospects." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lu Qingyan’s expression remained calm, "My wife doesn’t let me stay up past ten o’clock every night."

Jiang Nanshu almost spat out her drink.

Since when did she set rules for him?

Besides, they had slept in separate rooms last night.

Feeling Jiang Nanshu’s gaze, he turned his head, his eyes frank yet filled with tenderness, "Don’t stay up in the cool air at night, drink less, or your stomach will hurt."

He replaced the icy drink in Jiang Nanshu’s hand with warm water.

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

Everyone: "..."

President Wu laughed it off, "It’s good to go to bed early. I used to stay up late all the time in my younger days and wore out my health. Now I have to take supplements every day, haha."

Lu Qingyan glanced at his protruding belly and said indifferently, "I probably won’t end up bald and with a big belly in middle age, my wife likes handsome men."

President Wu: "..."

Damn!

His face almost turned green on the spot.

He even heard the stifled laughter of the two presidents next to him.

Jiang Nanshu silently ate her food.

For a moment, she couldn’t tell if he was here to do business or to start a fight.

President Wu laughed again, "President Lu really knows how to joke. I just didn’t take care of myself later on. I didn’t think about it when I had money. What do men need to be so refined for, as long as they can make money, that’s good enough."

Lu Qingyan looked surprised, "Even if you did take care of yourself, there wouldn’t be much difference. It’s mainly about the foundation. Your facial foundation is not good, no amount of care can make it refined. Also, making money isn’t easy. In some time, I’ll hold a wedding for my wife and replace her ring with one worth a hundred million. It’s really a shame for her to only be able to wear such a cheap one; I’ll replace it with a better one later."

The room fell silent.

Jiang Nanshu found the warm water she was drinking a bit too hot to handle.

This was too much.

Did President Wu dig up his ancestors’ graves or something?

Even a fool could see that he was targeting President Wu.

But President Wu, not giving up, once again broke the tense atmosphere with a chuckle, "I’m definitely not as handsome as President Lu. As a man, it’s good to be responsible and take care of the family."

Lu Qingyan glanced at him and smiled, "You do have some self-awareness but, speaking of looks, you’re not even in the running. My wife loves this face of mine, and I can’t afford to let myself go and end up like you or I’d have a divorce on my hands."

President Wu slammed his hand on the table.

Lu Qingyan’s smile faded, his eyes grew cold, "Hm? What’s with the slamming?"

Lazily leaning back in his chair, he left President Wu with nothing to say. Someone in a position of power can make life difficult for another’s company with the slightest action.

Cold sweat broke out on President Wu, who lamented his impulsiveness. Su Ran, on the other hand, was good at being unnoticed, staying silent beside him like she was invisible.

He slapped her face hard in a backhand motion, "Bitch, didn’t you see that huge mosquito biting me? Why didn’t you help shoo it away?"

He pretended to scratch at the flab on his body, making a show of itching all over and smiled apologetically, "President Lu, please don’t be angry. I was just smacking a mosquito."

Knowing this deal wouldn’t happen, and staying here would just result in more humiliation.

He stood up, grabbed Su Ran by the arm, and, with a smile to the others, said, "Enjoy your meal and drinks. There’s an emergency at the company, so my wife and I will take our leave. Let’s meet up another time."

Lu Qingyan didn’t stop them.

Su Ran, clutching her cheek, silently passed by them.

Jiang Nanshu took a sip of the bland warm water and whispered to Lu Qingyan, "Do you believe that with President Wu’s slap, Su Ran will end up hating me instead?"

Some people, once they form certain biases, come to believe that their misfortunes are because of a particular person.
