The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 384: Fifth Brother, It’s a Big Misunderstanding, Dr. M is Not Male

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Fifth Brother, It’s a Big Misunderstanding, Dr. M is Not Male

"Still feverish?" Jiang Man feigned calm as she placed the kettle on the table.

Lu Xingzhou wiped his damp hair.

"Your luggage is here." Jiang Man pointed to the carry-on suitcase by the bed.

The suitcase had been delivered to the door by Wu Yingfan, and she had picked it up on her way in.

"I have a meeting at the company this afternoon, I need to get back now."

Lu Xingzhou took out the pressed shirt and suit from the suitcase, placing them all on the bed.

"We won’t see each other until New Year’s Day. The company has a year-end event, and it’s going to be busy."

"Mhm." Jiang Man nodded, slightly kicking the fluffy rug on the floor with her toes.

She had never understood the feeling of missing someone so dearly after just a day apart, but now she did.

Before, she couldn’t comprehend why those young couples, separated for just a short while, could miss each other to the point of despair.

It wasn’t until last night...

Indeed, influenced by hormones, even the most lucid person can become love-struck.

Certainly, she didn’t want Lu Xingzhou to leave; she wished they could spend more time together.

Yet, she also knew that reality wouldn’t allow it.

Lu Xingzhou was busy with such a big company to manage.

And she couldn’t leave Neon City; although there was nothing that absolutely required her presence, since she had agreed to come early, she had to make the best of it.

"Are you going to miss me?"

While Jiang Man was lost in thought, Lu Xingzhou had already dressed.

As he was tying his necktie, Jiang Man stepped forward to help him, meticulously fixing it for him.

Neither of them spoke, savoring the moment.

Suddenly, Jiang Man spoke, "Haven’t you always wanted me to make clothes for you?"

"Really?" Lu Xingzhou was surprised.

"I’ll make the attire for San-ge and San-sao’s wedding for you."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhou squinted his eyes, smiling as he hugged her head and kissed her forehead.

"I’m off then."

"Go on, go on." Jiang Man waved her hand dismissively, feeling somewhat vexed.

Stupid man, flirting and then running off, so annoying.

"This is for you." Lu Xingzhou, as if by magic, produced a sunflower bracelet from his hand.

"I’m really leaving now."

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, "Go on."

This time, her mouth was turned up into a smile.

She picked up the bracelet for a glance; on the back of the sunflower, not JL, but Lu❤Man was engraved.

Quite straightforward.

But such a move was very effective on her.

"Brother-in-law’s leaving already?"

When Jiang Man came downstairs, Lu Xingzhou, with his suitcase, had already left.

Wu Yingfan looked puzzled, opening his mouth to speak.

"He’s busy with work." Jiang Man glanced at her watch, then raised her hand to find that her watch had been replaced and now she was wearing the bracelet Lu Xingzhou had given her.

"Oh la la, giving gifts now, huh?" Wu Yingfan, with keen eyes, thought Jiang Man was deliberately showing off her love.

Jiang Man rolled her eyes at him, "I’m leaving, going to visit Grandpa."

...

After a day’s rest and recovery, the next day at the charity dinner, Jiang Man, Wu Yingfan, and Shaye were all full of energy.

Today’s banquet strictly adhered to social hierarchy, even someone of Chen Anna’s status could only sit at a table in the third row.

"Who organized tonight’s dinner party? It’s just so secretive, isn’t it? We’ve all arrived at the venue and still don’t know who she is."

"I heard it’s the wife of Neon City’s Dalin Pharmaceuticals’ president who’s hosting it."

"Yes, I heard ’Returning Beauty’ is one of their products."

"Ah? The Divine Doctor sold the prescription to Neon City?"

"He didn’t sell it, one of the cancer patients he helped did. In effect, the Divine Doctor was backstabbed."

"That’s disgusting, that cancer patient is a real piece of work!"

"Well, if the Divine Doctor knows, he could sue the cancer patient, and he could also sue Dalin Pharmaceuticals."

"I bet Dalin Pharmaceuticals didn’t get the real secret formula; they’re probably just using the Divine Doctor as a buzzword. The Divine Doctor has always been working for the state, his identity is confidential, and he can’t make his identity public to go to court with Dalin Pharmaceuticals, which is why Dalin Pharmaceuticals is getting bolder and bolder."

Chen Anna listened to the conversations around her and instantly lost all her good feelings towards ’Returning Beauty’.

Regardless of whether the drug used the Divine Doctor’s secret formula or not, Dalin Pharmaceuticals was pretty shameless.

And their company’s hunger marketing was very effective; they only produced ten doses of the drug each year, then sold them at sky-high prices.

Using it at charity auctions only added to the hype, which amounted to free advertising for the drug.

Previously, only the wealthy ladies and daughters in their Hong Kong circle knew about the magical effects of the drug, but tonight guests from all walks of Hong Kong society were at the dinner.

The drug’s reputation would probably quickly rock all of Hong Kong.

"Manman, I heard from your third brother that you’re the Divine Doctor, so you’ll have to take a look at this drug later and tell if it’s real or fake."

"Do you want to bid?" Jiang Man asked with interest.

Chen Anna nodded, "Which woman doesn’t love beauty? Especially since a woman’s wedding is the most important moment in her life, I want to look gorgeous and have no regrets."

"Sister-in-law, you’re already beautiful; you really don’t need to be anxious about your appearance."

"How can I not be anxious? You, naturally beautiful, wouldn’t understand." Chen Anna shook her head and sighed again.

"It’s not about who’s more beautiful than whom here in Hong Kong society; it’s about who maintains themselves well, who looks younger, who has the art of keeping their appearance youthful."

Jiang Man rested her chin in her hands, indicating she didn’t understand.

Though she didn’t understand, she would be understanding and supportive.

"I’ll help you test the drug’s effects then," she promised.

Actually, she was also curious. Had that patient from those years ago really not used the medicine to save his own life and instead sold it to Dalin Pharmaceuticals?

Were there really people in this world who would choose money over life?

Even if he had obtained a huge fortune, so what?

His condition at that time, given the medical standards of the era, was truly incurable.

Even the drug she had given him was only meant to prolong his life by a few years.

"Dalin Pharmaceuticals." Jiang Man’s mouth curled into a small smile.

This company ranked in the top three pharmaceutical companies worldwide, and the drugs they made were not only for treating diseases but many were also used in the beauty industry, they were called — cosmeceuticals.

This was also why they could price their product at 2.88 million and still find buyers.

Beneath the fame, there will always be those willing to take the bait.

...

"Dr. Hu, by using the name of Dalin Pharmaceuticals’ president’s wife, do you really think we can lure the Divine Doctor here?"

Inside the VIP lounge, Hu Xianyun’s assistant was at a loss.

They had tried all sorts of ways to find the whereabouts of the Divine Doctor, but there was an information barrier between Hong Kong and the mainland.

Although they had learned that the Divine Doctor was now in the mainland, they were unclear about which department he was affiliated with.

With so many scientific research departments on the mainland, they couldn’t possibly ask each one.

Moreover, the science research sector in Hong Kong was actually independent from the mainland, making it even more difficult for them to find the Divine Doctor.

"This is the most direct method; Dalin Pharmaceuticals is not innocent," he said.

Dalin Pharmaceuticals had added carcinogenic substances to many of their products, always glossed over so consumers were kept in the dark.

Even if he was using the name of Dalin Pharmaceuticals, the company wouldn’t dare to come out and say anything.

"I believe the Divine Doctor will definitely come, but he will probably be very low-key. We need to have people keep an eye on men between the ages 30-70 at the event!"
