The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 394: Trouble with the Wedding Dress!

In the blink of an eye, the lunar new year had passed, and the eve of the wedding arrived.

The bride and groom and their parents were busy rehearsing at the hotel.

Originally, Chen Anna wanted to have the wedding abroad, but since she was pregnant and pressed for time,

she did not want to marry after showing, as the wedding dress wouldn’t look good.

So, on the principle of convenience, she chose to have the wedding in her hometown.

With a wide network of contacts, almost any type of wedding setting could be realized, and there was ample time to prepare.

Chen Anna had always seen herself as a princess, so she naturally chose Disney as her wedding venue.

Hu Zonghua rented out Disney for three days, planning to hold the ceremony over three days and inviting friends and family from all over Hong Kong, as well as from overseas.

The vow exchange location was also selected, right outside the castle, with the castle as a backdrop, accompanied by fireworks and light shows—truly a dream come true.

Jiang Man was also busy; she didn’t need to memorize her witness speech—she remembered it after just one read-through.

But she became interested in playing the piano, tossed aside her script, and joined the band to accompany the rehearsing bride and groom.

Disney was bustling with activity, and the hotel banquet was also very busy.

Hu Hao was in charge of the hotel arrangements and was a bit overwhelmed due to his lack of experience.

Hu Yaohua of the third branch, which specialized in catering, took charge to assist his nephew with the hotel matters.

The third mother and Hu Xianyun tended to the elder at the hospital.

Each branch of the family had a clear division of labor; the fourth branch was responsible for the cars, photography, and the like.

Hu Yuexiang was a figure skating prince and had his own professional photographer.

For his third brother’s and third sister-in-law’s wedding, he invited his entire personal photography team.

The Hu family was united like never before, quickly winning over the hearts of the people of Hong Kong.

The local headlines were dominated by the Hu family’s joyous event these past few days.

...

In the hospital, the third mother carefully took out ADE108 from her purse.

She heard from her son that Manman had given them this medicine and was instructed to keep it in the safe.

One could imagine how valuable this medicine must be—it was probably priceless!

"Father, time for your medicine. Manman brought this health supplement, she said it’s very effective for your recovery. After taking this medicine, you might be able to leave the hospital very soon."

"Is this what you say, or is what Manman said?" the old patriarch asked as he received the medicine, lifting his eyelids.

The third mother smiled, "What I say and what Manman says, aren’t they both the same? They are both the best wishes for you, dad."

"That’s not the same. Manman is a Divine Doctor. If she says this medicine will heal me, then it truly will. But if it’s just you saying it and she didn’t, then it’s uncertain."

"This..." The third mother didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

Luckily, Hu Xianyun walked in at this time, bending over to approach the old man, coaxing him like a child, "Grandfather, you’ll definitely get better if you take this medicine, I guarantee it!"

"Mhmm," the old patriarch nodded and took the medicine bottle, downing it in one gulp.

The third mother was both laughing and crying.

The old patriarch was quite childlike. He didn’t believe what his children said, but completely trusted his grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law.

Perhaps this was the so-called affinity across generations?

"Dad, after taking your medicine, let’s try on your clothes. Tomorrow, you must look dashing attending Xiaoming and Anna’s wedding," the third mother said with a slight smile.

The old patriarch nodded.

The hospital room bustled into action as a specialized clothing team came in with the outfits.

Feeling the room was crowded, Hu Xianyun stepped outside to wait.

At that moment, his assistant rushed over with a paper bag.

"The results are out..." his assistant spoke in a subdued voice.

Hu Xianyun took the paper bag and walked towards the end of the corridor.

In a secluded corner, he opened the paper bag.

The test results inside were sealed, and the assistant hadn’t torn it open.

As soon as the results came out, they were hurriedly delivered.

Hu Xianyun squinted his eyes, staring at the print on the white paper, not wanting to miss any word.

One line of bold black text read ’Dr. M’s ADE108 drug, first developed in 2022, successful in clinical trials.’

Above were many details, including that she had applied for a patent, which was why the drug hadn’t been mass-produced.

And she intended to donate the secret formula of the drug to the National Research Institute without compensation.

"Her?" Hu Xianyun looked at the gender next to the woman’s name.

So, Dr. M was a woman?

He chuckled, his hunch having been confirmed.

Jiang Man must have studied under Dr. M—there was no doubt about that!

But it was unexpected; he hadn’t imagined such a renowned medical scholar could be a woman.

Indeed, women hold up half the sky!

Hu Xianyun stuffed the results back into the paper bag, suppressing the elation in his heart.

Once the wedding was over, he would present these results to Manman and share his intentions.

Actually, it was easy for him to get the secret formula; he just had to speak to his mother and take out one of the drugs from the safe. Then his mission would be complete, and he could return to the research institute to report.

But he disdained such sneaky behavior. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Manman trusted him, giving him the drug without any defenses, for him to pass on.

So he definitely could not betray Manman’s trust.

At this thought, he couldn’t help smiling again.

The whole family was proud of him, thinking he had contributed to the nation.

What they didn’t know was that the real contributor to the nation was this cousin of his.

She was already renowned as the Divine Doctor at such a young age.

Given time, surpassing Dr. M to become the foremost academic was within reach!

"What are you laughing at, sir?" The assistant was bewildered, waiting for his orders to proceed.

"Nothing," Hu Xianyun immediately ceased smiling, turning serious: "I’ll handle the next steps. You rest well these next couple of days and also attend my third brother’s and sister-in-law’s wedding to experience the matrimonial atmosphere in Hong Kong."

"Yes, sir!" The assistant snapped to attention, bowed, and then turned to leave.

...

That day, the Hu family barely rested.

At three in the morning the next day, Chen Anna was called by the makeup artist to start getting ready.

Messages in the family group chat had been pinging all night long.

Jiang Man had dozed off, not sleeping very deeply.

Lu Xingzhou would be arriving on a private jet today, doing his best to arrive early to accompany her with the groom and his groomsmen to fetch the bride.

The entire hotel was owned by the Hu family and was closed for business for three days.

Those staying at the hotel were all guests attending the wedding.

These guests came from various backgrounds, all wealthy and noble, including some political figures from Hong Kong.

Jiang Man rested on the sofa, half asleep before dawn, hearing loud footsteps in the hallway, thumping and bustling.

Sure enough, the next second, the family group chat started ’pinging’ non-stop.

Jiang Man initially didn’t want to check the messages, but the relentless vibration of her phone made it seem like a big deal had happened.

She opened her eyes, reached for her phone,

the phone automatically unlocked her face, and after opening the message, she immediately caught the important information.

Indeed, there was trouble, and not a minor one.

A person named Yang Yiyi was continuously sending crying emojis in the group chat.

Piecing together the context was not difficult; she was a bridesmaid, responsible for taking care of the bride’s wedding dress.

And the problem... lay with the wedding dress...
