The CEO's Woman

Chapter 57 Accomplishments

It has been more than 30 minutes since Jiang Mian’s birthday celebration started and not even a shadow of Jiang Yue’s hair can be seen.

Somehow, Jiang Mian and Lu Shi are feeling nervous. They already prepared everything; how can Jiang Yue not attend this party?

"Hmp. Still so arrogant after all. She thinks she is above everyone else! So what if she is a little smart?" Lu Qian grumbled. Although Lu Qian is not aware of Jiang Mian and Lu Shi’s plan she is still waiting for Jiang Yue to show.

Jiang Mian’s party may not be as grand as Jiang Yue’s but there are also important guests in this party.

"Shhh... lower down your voice." Jiang Mian immediately chastised her cousin.

Today, Jiang Mian is wearing the eight million dress that Lu Shi wanted. It is a red beaded A-Line gown made of ivory silk with a silver embroidered waistband.

It is her day. So, it is only reasonable for her to wear the most beautiful dress at the party. After all, this is her time to shine.

"Ah... here you are. Why are you just standing here?" Lu Shi said while approaching both Jiang Mian and Lu Qian."Come, your father wanted to introduce you to some of his business partners."

Jiang Mian followed Lu Shi as they made their way into Jiang Chanming who is happily talking to some prominent foreign businessman.

"Oh. Here she is." Jiang Chanming immediately announced the presence of her daughter and wife the moment he sees them.

"Everyone, this is my lovely daughter. She is celebrating her birthday tonight." Jiang Chanming proudly said, his eyes flashing from joy. He is in fact very proud of Jiang Mian’s accomplishments.

Even though she is still young. Everyone already knows her as a young talent and genius in school. That scandal tainted her reputation. But so what? Didn’t she just become one of the top students yesterday?

Aside from that, these investors, that he is talking today are mostly from outside the country. They have no idea about Jiang Mian’s scandal.

"Ah. I heard! This must be Miss Jiang. I am well aware of your accomplishments abroad. I heard you also got the second spot of the National Exams? How delightful!" A woman in her fifty’s said with excitement.

This woman is clearly not aware of Jiang Mian’s true identity. She came in late and was not able to hear Jiang Chanming introducing her daughter at the beginning of the party.

The atmosphere immediately turned cold after the comment of the old lady.

"Eh... Mrs. Johnson. What accomplishments are you talking about? I never knew that Miss Jiang studied abroad" Another investor inquired. He is not from outside of the country so he is quite familiar with the Jiang Family.

"Oh. Miss Jiang right here is an accomplished poet abroad. I believe she went to one of the top university abroad. My grandson used to be her schoolmate. She is so young and talented. Too bad I didn’t have the opportunity to meet her when I visited her school. Now I feel so lucky to attend her birthday. She is not only a talent but also a beauty!" Mrs. Johnson explained as her eyes beamed with happiness.

She already heard of Miss Jiang’s name before. She even thought of having a marriage alliance to this young lady. After all she is acquainted with Jiang Yue’s father.

Now, that she had the opportunity to face her, she will not waste this opportunity.

"Wow! That is impressive! I didn’t know you have such a talented and beautiful daughter Mr. Jiang!"Another investor joined the conversation.

"Ah?... eh..." Jiang Chanming awkwardly said.

"Right. My daughter is not only talented but also very smart ah." Lu Shi said. This people was clearly talking about Jiang Yue and not her daughter. But really? Who cares? That b*tch woman is clearly not here!

Hearing Lu Shi’s cheerful voice, Jiang Chanming was taken aback. What is this woman doing?

Isn’t she just digging a grave for herself?

"Mr. Jiang you are so lucky. How about we talk about business after this party?"Mrs. Johnson immediately said. She already decided to help Jiang Chanming out of his current problem.

What she wanted in return is a marriage alliance. The thought itself is making Mrs. Johnson’s heart jump with joy.

"Ah... Mrs. Johnson, I did not expect you to attend my niece’s birthday party."

Some of the investors face turned sour when they heard the voice who suddenly joined their conversation. They are not clueless. Most of them, even the foreign ones know the man coming towards them.

This is Jiang Chanming’s brother. Jiang Tianqi, the true heir of Jiang Corp.

"Oh... Chanming, is that how you welcome your big brother?"Jiang Tianqi’s arrival is quite unexpected even for Jiang Chanming.

He couldn’t even remember the last time that he saw his Elder Brother. Jiang Chanming furrowed his brows. His Elder brother must be up into something. Else, he will not show up here unannounced.

"Elder Brother, you fail to inform me that you will be late! I already started the party without you. I don’t want everyone to wait. Please accept my apologies." Jiang Chanming respectfully said. His tone might sound apologetic but his meaning is the exact opposite.

Jiang Chanming wanted everyone to emphasize that his brother is late. What businessmen value most of all is their time.

Who would want to associate themselves with people who are always tardy?

"Ah... no worries...no worries. Hahaha...Oh. Here is my favorite birthday girl! Happy Birthday, Xiao Mian! Here, this is my gift!" Jiang Tianqi cheered, ignoring the meaning behind Jiang Chanming’s words.

"Eh? What Xiao Mian? Isn’t this Miss Jiang Yue? The one who studied abroad?" Mrs. Johnson asked, her nose wrinkled, face full of contempt.

Did Jiang Chanming’s wife just lied to them?

"No... No... This is my niece, Jiang Mian. The birthday girl! hahaha... Mrs. Johnson, you must forgive my brother. After all, he is not in good terms with his eldest daughter." Jiang Tianqi declared without a little bit of shame. How could he miss the opportunity to embarrassed Jiang Chanming?

After hearing Jiang Tianqi’s words, Jiang Chanming and Lu Shi’s face contorted. While Jiang Mian lowered her head and clenched her fist.

That woman is still making trouble for her even if she is not here!

"Good! Very Good Mr. Jiang I never thought that you will be like this." Mrs. Johnson said with a mocking smile. Although it is partly her fault for mistaking Jiang Mian as Jiang Yue, she still finds it unreasonable for Lu Shi to agree with her.

In reality, Mrs. Johnson is a very shrewd businesswoman. She will never do something that will never give her any benefit.

Now that she knows the truth about Jiang Chanming and Jiang Yue, her goal is already close to impossible. She is already thinking of pulling all her investments from the Jiang Corps.

Jiang Chanming was about to apologize when he suddenly heard a soft mellow voice.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, We apologize for being late!"
