Chapter 73 Xie Yunxi's Wife
Jiang Manman was surprised: "What did you do this time?"

“Recently, the live stream has been giving away small accessories from time to time, randomly selecting lucky viewers. You, Madam, have personally designed several of them. Now, when something is brought out in the live stream, as long as I mention that it was designed by you, the top spender will immediately throw dozens of Carnival tokens without saying a word and say he wants it. With so many Carnival tokens being given away, no one else is even embarrassed to compete.”

Jiang Manman didn't know how to comment.

She skipped the topic and instructed Jiang Rong, "There's no need to sign Han Yi. You can look for other opportunities and follow up on the invitations we sent out last time to see if there's been any response."

Jiang Rong's expression turned serious: "Understood, Madam."

Jiang Manman walked out of the studio.

Jiang Rong called Shan Shan over: "Pack up those small ornaments from today, contact the customer service to get their address, and send them out as soon as possible—the embroidered sachet designed by the madam herself, send it to Yu, the one I met; his address is saved on the computer."

“I know, I’ve sent it to the top seller several times.” Shanshan skillfully took out a courier box, carefully packed the sachet, placed an order for international shipping, and retrieved an address from the recipient’s address field—

Harbor, Royal Bay.

Looking at the package, Ayla sighed, "When I first saw this address, I even looked it up online to see which big shot in Hong Kong lived there, but I couldn't find anything."

"It would be strange if someone of that caliber could be easily found online," Shan Shan chuckled.

Jiang Manman did not go to the Imperial Capital Hotel, but instead chose the International Hotel diagonally opposite the studio, which was only about 20 meters away.

The International Hotel appears to be hosting an event, with an eye-catching banner reading "The 23rd National Gold Medal Lawyers Exchange Conference".

"Are there any rooms available?" Jiang Manman asked the front desk.

"Yes, there are three suites on the top floor," the receptionist said politely. "Please show your ID card, and I will check you in now."

Jiang Manman handed over her ID card and waited where she was.

Behind her, a steady stream of lawyers came and went. When one of the lawyers passed by Jiang Manman, the lead lawyer paused, looking at her in surprise:

"Mrs. Xie?"

Jiang Manman stared at him blankly: "What did you call me?"

“Mrs. Xie!” the lawyer said politely. “You may not remember me. I am Attorney Chen, who handled the marriage notarization for you and Mr. Xie six years ago.”

Jiang Manman took two steps back: "You've mistaken me for someone else. I don't know any President Xie, nor am I Mrs. Xie."

Attorney Chen was taken aback.

Jiang Manman had already received the room key. She nodded slightly to him and walked past him into the elevator.

Among the legal team, the other lawyers all looked at Attorney Chen: "Did you run into someone you know?"

Attorney Chen remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly looked away: "He must have admitted his mistake."

His colleague patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, the exchange meeting is about to start. Cheer up and don't tarnish the reputation of us Hong Kong lawyers."

Jiang Manman entered the hotel suite and sent Yan Changye her location.

An hour later, there was a knock on the hotel door. She thought it was the housekeeper delivering clothes. When she opened the door, Yan Changye was standing leisurely outside.

Jiang Manman: "...What are you doing here?"

"I won't do anything tonight, I'll just keep you company." Yan Changye put one arm around her waist and walked into the room, opening a large bag in his hand and taking out two sets of couple's bathrobes and clothes to change into tomorrow.

Jiang Manman was a little speechless: "Since you've come all this way, what's the difference between you and me living in Mansion No. 1?"

“There is a difference. It’s not as comfortable as home, but it’s close to your work, saving you an hour’s commute.” Yan Changye affectionately ruffled her hair. “You sit and rest, I’ll go get you some water.” Jiang Manman called out to him, “Yan Changye…”

Yan Changye paused, then pinched her cheek with a hint of helplessness: "I promise I won't bother you tonight."

He ran the bathwater for her, and while she was taking a bath, he had dinner delivered from a nearby restaurant and set it on the table. After Jiang Manman finished bathing, he ate with her, and then they watched a show together for a while. Before long, Jiang Manman fell asleep in his arms.

He gently placed the person on the bed and noticed that it was only nine o'clock.

After silencing Jiang Manman's phone, he changed his clothes and went out. He found a secluded spot in the first-floor lounge bar, ordered a drink, and leisurely scrolled through his unfinished work on his phone in a relaxing atmosphere with soft music playing.

Ten minutes later, Attorney Chen came out of the conference hall and saw Yan Changye sitting lazily in the corner, guarded by several bodyguards in the shadows.

Indeed, her top-notch aura was too eye-catching, and her face under the dim lighting was too striking.

Attorney Chen glanced at it for only a second before immediately saying goodbye to the other lawyers, picking up his wine glass, and walking towards the corner.

Three meters away, several bodyguards coldly blocked his path: "Private area, please move elsewhere."

Attorney Chen had no choice but to tentatively speak to Yan Changye: "Mr. Xie!"

Yan Changye paused slightly in his hand holding the red wine, then indifferently shifted his gaze over.

After pausing for several seconds on Attorney Chen's face, Yan Changye casually said, "Let Attorney Chen come over."

The bodyguards immediately made way for them.

After the other party accurately called him "Attorney Chen," Attorney Chen relaxed a little and politely sat down in front of Yan Changye, respectfully greeting him: "President Xie, it's been a long time."

Yan Changye gave a soft, noncommittal "hmm": "What are you doing here?"

"The National Lawyers Exchange Conference has attracted many renowned lawyers from across the country. I've come to broaden my horizons and see the differences between the systems in the mainland and in Hong Kong."

After finishing his statement, Attorney Chen added, "I ran into your wife just a few hours ago, but after six years, she doesn't remember me."

Yan Changye's expression turned serious: "What did you say to her?"

“She didn’t say anything, she just said I had mistaken me for someone else.” Attorney Chen smiled. “But I never expected that I would not only meet Mrs. Xie today, but also you, Mr. Xie.”

Yan Changye swirled his red wine, his tone quite indifferent: "Next time I see her, just pretend I don't know her."

Attorney Chen nodded in agreement.

Yan Changye glanced at him again, clearly not wanting to talk to him any longer: "Does Attorney Chen have anything else to say?"

Attorney Chen nodded: "There is indeed something I'd like to say to Mr. Xie."

Yan Changye slightly raised his eyelids: "Hmm?"

"Six years ago, on the day of your family reunion banquet," Attorney Chen thought for a moment, "that night, I and two other lawyers processed your marriage registration with your wife. But a few hours later, Chairman Xie Yuheng also wanted to register his marriage with Miss Jiang."

Yan Changye showed no surprise and chuckled softly.

Attorney Chen continued, "Later, Chairman Xie Yuheng was informed by his lawyer that Miss Jiang had already married someone else and could no longer notarize their marriage. Chairman Xie was furious about this and almost wiped out the Xie Group's legal team."

Yan Changye lazily took a sip of wine without saying a word.
