Chapter 147: Slap in the face in public
Jiang Muwan did not wear a complicated dress today. Instead, she changed into a black suit, paired with a simple white shirt. Her thick hair was tied up into a simple ponytail, and her whole temperament became more heroic and capable.
She stood there straight, among a group of male entrepreneurs, with a standard smile on her face, not ostentatious but not inferior, dazzling like the only soft white moonlight among the stars.
She followed the others and slowly walked into the venue. From a distance, she saw Jiang Youran's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and also saw a panic expression on the face that was 60% similar to her own.
Finally, her eyes met Huo Chenzhao's gentle gaze towards her. She winked at him playfully, then turned to look forward again.
Mr. Huo's ears suddenly turned red when he suddenly felt the loving gaze from his wife. He could only cough lightly and turned around pretending to be calm, continuing to maintain his cool image.
Jiang Muwan followed the others onto the stage to sign the agreement. Some of the people around him recognized Jiang Muwan and started talking about it.
"I was saying that when I heard the name just now, it sounded familiar. Isn't Miss Jiang, the winner of this bid, Mr. Huo's wife?"
"Really? It seems to be true! But Mr. Huo actually wants his wife to show up in public?"
"The winning bidder is Mrs. Huo, and Mr. Huo is sitting right below. Could it be that the judges already knew that No. 39 was Mrs. Huo?"
"Hush! Don't say that. Status is status. Young Madam's bidding proposal is really well done. Although it is in the entertainment field, this bid is no worse than those of us business veterans."
"Yes! And the style of the young lady in drawing up the plan is completely different from that of Mr. Huo. It can be seen that Mr. Huo did not interfere. If we deny it just because of our identities, it would be too biased!"
......
Listening to the discussions of people around him and their affirmation of Jiang Muwan, Jiang Youran's face became even gloomier.
Originally, Jiang Muwan's resurrection and appearance in front of her was enough to shock and panic her, but she didn't expect that she would appear in front of her in such a way that won everyone's praise.
The hands hanging at his sides slowly clenched, and Jiang Youran's angry gaze turned to the place where Bo Jinzhi was originally on the second floor.
If it wasn't for this occasion, she really wanted to rush up and grab the man by the collar to ask him, isn't he always foolproof? Isn't he extremely capable? Can't he manipulate the entire Jiang family? But why can't he handle a little Jiang Muwan!!!
Jiang Youran's gaze probed over there, but when his gaze reached the position on the railing on the second floor, his pupils shrank again.
At that position, there was no longer any trace of Bo Jinzhi, only... Jiang Muye and Jiang Yunsheng.
Jiang Yunsheng... Why is Jiang Yunsheng here? Didn't he call her yesterday and say that he came to visit her only daughter? Then why is he here with Jiang Muye today? He clearly knew that Jiang Muye had never liked him...
And... and what about the admiring look Jiang Yunsheng gave Jiang Muwan at this moment? He clearly said that she was his only pride...
Jiang Youran just looked at Jiang Yunsheng like that, watching his eyes always fall on Jiang Muwan.
Jiang Yunsheng looked at Jiang Muwan, the only woman in the first-floor report hall, who walked up to the stage gracefully, signed neatly, and answered questions from the judges straightforwardly. There was admiration and shock in his eyes.
Similar... too similar. The fighting spirit and confidence in Jiang Muwan, who was radiant at this moment, were too similar to himself when he first entered the workplace as a young man. She looked too much like his wife when she was young, especially her peach blossom eyes, which were more lively than Youran's and more like her.
Thinking of what Jiang Muye told him not long ago, and thinking about why Jiang Muye had to bring him to the bidding venue today, an idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Yunsheng's mind.
He turned to look at his second son, but saw Jiang Muye just looking at him with a faint smile. "Now do you know why I brought you here? But don't worry, there should be something interesting to watch later."
Jiang Muye glanced at the face that looked somewhat similar to Jiang Muwan, then looked at Jiang Youran who was obviously flustered, and Jiang Muchen who had no expression on his face. He knew that something interesting was about to happen.
……
As everyone signed their names, this grand bidding event officially came to an end. However, no one left. After all, it was a rare opportunity to see the heirs of the Huo and Jiang families at the same time.
Huo Chen exchanged a few words with Jian Dan and then walked directly towards the figure that was deeply engraved in his eyes and heart.
He walked over with an upright posture. Jiang Muwan naturally noticed him. He took the red wine glass in his hand and clinked it with his. A hint of playfulness flashed in his watery eyes.
"Boss Huo, let's cooperate more in the future and have a happy cooperation!"
"Well, it's a pleasure working with you!" Huo Chenchao let her do what she wanted. He didn't hold Jiang Muwan's hand as usual, but always made sure she was within his sight, allowing her to display her talents with ease.
"Mr. Huo, I thought you had just left. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to toast you with a glass of wine."
Before the bidding started, the young Master Li introduced by Jiang Muchen stood next to Huo Chenchao at some point, and naturally brought with him the person who looked 70% like Jiang Muwan.
Huo Chen glanced at Han Mou lightly, without saying anything, but just took a sip of the red wine in his hand.
Come to think of it, that group of nosy gossip reporters should be here by now.
"Hey? Why does the lady next to Master Li look so similar to Miss Jiang?"
"Now that you mention it, I realize it too. So did Master Li intentionally or unintentionally find a woman who looks so similar to Master Huo's wife?"
There were even people who were curious and had already come up to Jiang Muwan. Although their voices were not loud, they were loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"Ms. Jiang, is this lady related to you? There are people who are so similar to you in this world, but they are rare!"
After these words were spoken, many eyes turned to Jiang Muwan. Originally, people thought that she would not answer this question, but unexpectedly, Jiang Muwan looked around with her peach blossom eyes and slightly opened her red lips.
"Indeed, there is some connection. My stepmother's niece should be considered a blood relative!"
After saying this, the similar face opposite him became even more flustered and unnatural. After a long while, he stammered, "Hehe, Miss Jiang may have recognized the wrong person. I don't remember seeing Miss Jiang before."
"Really?" Jiang Muwan stood in front of her in her high heels. "But I remember when we met at Jiang's house last time, you asked me which beauty salon package was more suitable?"
"When did I ask you about the beauty salon? I don't need plastic surgery, so why would I ask about it?"
"Oh, so cousin also remembered that she had seen me at the Jiang family before?"
"You don't even live in the Jiang family, how could I possibly see you there?"
"Well, didn't you just say you didn't know me? How do you know I don't live in the Jiang family anymore?"
"I...I..." By the time the person on the other side realized what he had said, it was already too late.
"Cousin Zhuang Yan, you suddenly changed your face and I just recognized you. Are you telling me in this way that you are more satisfied with my face?"
"Who is satisfied with your face?" Zhuang Yan has always had a high opinion of herself. Even though she is down and out now, she can't stand hearing people say that she is not as good as Jiang Muwan, so she refuted almost subconsciously.
"So you admit that you are my step-cousin Zhuang Yan?"
"I..." Zhuang Yan finally realized at this moment that she had fallen step by step into the trap set by Jiang Muwan for her. She wanted to refute, but she could no longer find the words to speak.
