The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 391: Favoritism? Then no one drinks!

"It’s not called Huan Yan, it’s code-named ADE108." Jiang Man said unhurriedly, taking out one.

After thinking, she remembered that she had promised to give Chen Anna one: "It’s safe for pregnant women, with no harmful ingredients."

After saying this, she took out another one.

Chen Anna and granny looked at each other, clueless with the vials in their hands.

Granny was puzzled, "How did you come to possess Dr. M’s secret formula?"

"Auntie, you shouldn’t ask about that. Rest assured, this drug is the real deal. Didn’t you want to treat your face?"

"Of course, I do!" Granny said while inspecting the vial.

She figured that if Jiang Man could awaken the family patriarch who had been in a coma for years, getting a prescription from Dr. M shouldn’t be a problem.

"How do I use it?"

"Orally."

No sooner had Jiang Man finished her sentence than granny uncapped the vial and drank it directly from the bottle.

Chen Anna gaped, admiring her mother-in-law’s courage deep down; for the sake of beauty, she really was willing to try anything.

She really wanted to ask Jiang Man where these drugs came from.

But granny had already asked...

She was curious; Manman had so many vials in her bag, almost like wholesaling them, and they didn’t seem very precious.

But the Huan Yan sold by Dalin Pharmaceuticals was priced at over two million per vial, and at charity auctions, it could fetch over twenty million.

If Manman could auction off the vials she had, wouldn’t she easily make one or two billion?

"Auntie, who usually spends the most time taking care of grandpa in the hospital?"

After drinking the drug, granny faced a change in Jiang Man’s conversation.

"Everyone visits when they can, but if you’re talking about who spends the most time, the third son’s wife goes to the hospital every day to make soup."

"Got it." Jiang Man nodded.

"Why are you asking about this?" Granny was curious.

Jiang Man patted her bag, "These drugs are all prepared for grandpa. I’ll give them to my third aunt later and have her administer one vial to grandpa regularly each month."

"All for your grandpa?" Granny was astonished, her eyes widening as she stared at the bulging pouch at Jiang Man’s waist.

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, "The ones you and sister-in-law have are originally for grandpa as well. There are twelve in total, just enough for a year. After grandpa finishes these next year, I’ll bring over new drugs."

She spoke with such ease, as if the drugs were readily at her fingertips.

But they had been near desperation to get their hands on a single vial, even resorting to fakes made by Dalin Pharmaceuticals.

This...

Granny and Chen Anna understood each other without speaking.

They had many questions, but seeing Jiang Man keep her lips sealed, they tacitly decided not to ask further.

"Madam, the redness on your face is gone!" The servant looked up and saw granny’s complexion return to normal.

"Really?" She was ecstatic, rushing to the vanity table.

When she saw herself in the mirror with the previous red cheeks gone and her skin tone back to its fair state, she could hardly believe her eyes!

Not only had the redness vanished, but the swelling seemed to have subsided as well!

She covered her face with her hands, too excited to speak clearly, "This... drug... is it some sort of miracle?"

Chen Anna watched her mother-in-law’s excitement, caught up in the emotion and becoming excited as well.

It was indeed miraculous.

They hadn’t been talking long and hadn’t noticed when the swelling and redness on granny’s face had disappeared.

It felt as if one second her face was marred, and the next, her skin was back to its original condition!

"Follow the doctor’s advice, no makeup, and don’t apply anything else to your face," Jiang Man responded coolly.

What’s the big deal with fixing a face?

Her drug was originally made to save cancer patients and pull them back from death’s door.

"Now that your face is fine, auntie, I’ll be heading back."

"Won’t you stay a bit longer? Why not stay over tonight? Your parents are here too..."

Granny stopped short, realizing she had misspoken, and quickly laughed awkwardly, "It’s livelier with more people."

"I came to Harbor City with two friends," Jiang Man made up an excuse. "We’re going to the night market later."

Second Aunt didn’t detain her any further and nodded, "Okay, let me see you out."

The group descended from the second floor to find Wu Yingfan and Shaye gathered around the dining table.

"Delicious~" Shaye clapped her hands happily, like a little greedy cat.

As Jiang Man walked over, the butler cheerfully explained to her, "This is our home-brewed wine, intended to entertain guests at the young master’s wedding." novelbuddy.cσ๓

"It’s delicious, Manman, do you want to try some?" Shaye blinked, her cheeks flushed red—a clear sign that this wine was strong and the young girl was already tipsy.

"It is indeed excellent, a sweet entry, slightly astringent, with a strong follow-through and a lingering fragrance. This wine tastes better than any I’ve had before!" Wu Yingfan was not stingy with his praise.

"Would Miss Seven like to try some?" the butler asked with squinted eyes, very enthusiastically.

Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, hesitating.

She wasn’t great with alcohol and feared overindulging.

When she overindulged, she tended to act crazy drunk.

The last time she got drunk and threw herself at Lu Xingzhou had been quite embarrassing.

"If you feel like drinking, just try a little bit—I’ll drive you all later," said a voice as Jiang Man was deliberating.

As she turned, Hu Xianyun walked around the corridor corner.

Jiang Man thought for a moment and said to the butler, "Then I’ll have a little."

"Alrighty!" The butler, gleeful, poured a small half-cup.

Before Jiang Man could drink, Chen Anna grew eager, her tongue instinctively licking her lips.

"You’re not allowed to drink," said Hu Ming as he emerged, Hu Zonghua following behind him.

Hu Ming wrapped Chen Anna in his arms, his eyes showing immeasurable affection.

"Uncle Two," greeted Jiang Man as she caught sight of Hu Zonghua.

Hu Zonghua smiled, "You young people have fun, I have some errands to run."

"If you like the wine, you and your friend should drink more tonight and stay over."

"I feel the same way," Second Aunt quickly agreed, eager to show that by keeping Jiang Man, she wasn’t treating her harshly.

Jiang Man smiled without a word and tried a sip of the home-brewed wine.

The drink carried a fruity freshness upon first taste, sweetly tantalizing.

After the sweetness came a slight bitterness from the alcohol, but the perfectly balanced astringency only left one savoring more.

"Plum wine?" Jiang Man’s eyes lit up.

Beneath the astringency was a slight acidity, all enveloped by the sweetness of fruit.

"Yes, green plum wine," the butler nodded in confirmation.

"It really is good, even better than what’s sold outside!"

"Would Miss Seven care for another sip?"

"I’ll have some more."

"Me too."

"Me as well."

The three wine lovers eagerly pushed their cups forward.

Hu Zonghua, busy with other matters, didn’t linger but reminded his wife to treat their niece well before leaving.

Second Aunt nodded, not in a rush to go upstairs but instead stood by, watching the trio beg for more wine with a beaming smile.

"They sure seem to be having fun."

At this moment, on the third floor, Jiang Yueping, hearing the noise, came out of his room and stood by the railing to look down.

Jiang Rou also opened her room door, blinking uncertainly, "Why is it so noisy?"

"They are drinking downstairs," Jiang Yueping said sourly, "They made good wine but didn’t give us any! What do they take us for?"

Jiang Rou frowned and approached the railing, observing the merry atmosphere below.

Haha! Such obvious favoritism!

"Dad, if it bothers you, why don’t you just pour out all that wine later? If they’re reluctant to share with you, then the wedding guests should simply go without as well!"
