The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 889 - 306: In Our Hearts, You Are the True Goddess

When the middle-aged woman heard Li Man’s ambiguous answer, she initially just wanted to test the waters, to see what status that man held. She didn’t assume from the start that someone like Li Man would have such a wealthy boyfriend. Moreover, she accidentally glanced at the man from not far away just now, and although the distance was a bit far, it was clear that the man wasn’t one of those sleazy company CEOs, but rather a very young and promising man.

She couldn’t get a clear look at the man’s appearance, just that he seemed to be quite good-looking.

Now, hearing Li Man’s words, her eyes brightened immediately, filled with calculating glimmers. Her tone also improved considerably, though still probing, as she asked, "Xiao Man, is he really your boyfriend?"

Li Man certainly didn’t miss the flicker of calculation in her aunt’s eyes, and the feeling of disgust welled up in her heart, though she didn’t show it outright, instead speaking with a faint smile, "We haven’t confirmed our relationship yet, Aunt, your question... I’m not sure how to answer properly."

Her face carried a barely visible, seemingly shy expression, which made it easy for someone to misunderstand her demeanor. Even in her response, she didn’t clearly admit Lu Jingchen was her boyfriend. But Li Man knew with her aunt’s kind of intelligence and personality, misunderstanding was absolutely inevitable.

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Man’s words, the middle-aged woman immediately confirmed her niece had truly found herself a wealthy boyfriend, and her face was filled with smiles. However, her eyes were filled with calculating glimmers as she said with a laugh, "Xiao Man is doing well, finding such a good boyfriend. Your mother will be very happy to know. Plus, your family’s living condition definitely isn’t what it used to be. Grasping the man in front of you as soon as possible is the hard truth..."

Li Man imperceptibly furrowed her brows, feeling quite displeased with this so-called ’aunt’ constantly bringing up her family’s living conditions. However, she didn’t express it directly, and instead responded obediently, then said, "My mom is probably waiting for me at home now. If Aunt doesn’t have anything else, I’ll head back first..."

The middle-aged woman immediately nodded, "Alright, alright, you can go back first. I just went to see your mom earlier, she was mentioning you."

Li Man didn’t say anything else, nodded, and headed directly home.

As the middle-aged woman watched Li Man walk into the complex, until her figure disappeared from view, she withdrew her gaze. At the same time, her smile vanished completely, revealing mocking and disdainful expressions, as she spat in Li Man’s disappearing direction with total rudeness, "What nonsense, do you still think you can marry into wealth with this attitude? Pipe dream!"

After saying that, she turned to leave, but after two steps, seemed to remember something, took out her phone from her bag, dialed a number, and as soon as the other end picked up, started, "Daughter, seems like it’s been a while since you stayed over at your cousin’s house? Find some time to visit her?"

"..."

"You don’t want to? You have to come even if you don’t want to."

"..."

"Mom’s doing this for your own good. I told you, when I went out earlier, I saw a man bringing her back, and the car he drove was worth millions, very clearly not an ordinary person."

"..."

"Yes, coming to live with your cousin will give you a chance to act when she’s not paying attention. Your cousin’s of a certain age now, you’re younger, people will definitely choose you first."

"..."

"What’s the big deal with your cousin being twenty-one? Twenty-one is still an aging single woman; you’re only eighteen, in the prime of youth."

"..."

"Alright then, pack your things and move over here next time. Mom will help you transfer to a school here tomorrow..."

When the call was finally hung up, the middle-aged woman’s face showed a smile, almost as if she was about to hum a tune.

At this moment, Li Man didn’t know that while she calculated others, she was also being calculated by her so-called ’aunt’.

...

Lu Jingchen directly drove Song Qiao to the film set. Because the schedule was tight, they would be filming throughout the night. When the car stopped outside, it was just where some actors who weren’t needed last night were arriving this morning, and some assistants were out buying breakfast.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Song Qiao, who had been somewhat dozing off, immediately opened her eyes.

Originally, Lu Jingchen had intended to call her, but just as he turned around, he saw her absentmindedly rubbing her eyes, so he held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and instead opened the car door and got out first.

Zuo Yuqing hadn’t filmed her scenes last night and had gone home, so she was just arriving now.

Getting off the nanny van, she immediately saw Lu Jingchen step out of the black Maybach, dressed in a perfectly tailored Italian handmade suit, exuding a male charisma that made it hard for anyone to look away.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, she had seen quite a few promising young men like Lu Jingchen, some with considerable status and influence, but none of them possessed the same charisma that Lu Jingchen had... except for Chu Munan.

"Yuqing Jie..." Zuo Yuqing’s young assistant noticed her standing still and thought something was wrong, hurriedly went over to her side, and asked in concern, "Are you alright? Director He is probably waiting for us now..."

Only then did Zuo Yuqing react, retracting her gaze from Lu Jingchen and instead looking at her assistant beside her, who was quite young, just over twenty, with a rather delicate appearance.

After a long pause, she finally heard her own voice, "Tell me, compared to Song Qiao, where exactly did I lose? Or was it simply because I left for so many years that she got this opportunity?"

Her tone carried no resentment or jealousy, but rather sounded like she was reminiscing, simply recalling a thing in the past.

Her gaze showed no discernible emotion either.

The assistant finally noticed Lu Jingchen about to open the car door from not far away, immediately understood the meaning behind Zuo Yuqing’s words, thought for a moment before saying, "Yuqing Jie, in fact, you are no less than Mrs. Lu; in our hearts, you are the true goddess..."
