The CEO's Woman

Chapter 438 Fitting Title

Chapter 438 Fitting Title

The entertainment continued as Fu Jin and Jiang Yue started talking to the guests. Since Fu Jin was like the new god of diamonds in Emerald Country, many people from influential backgrounds started to engage topics mostly about business.

However, what attracted Jiang Yue’s attention was focused on someone who looks exactly like Wang Bolin. She remembered that Wang Bolin came from the Ye family from the Emerald Country. This man should be the current patriarch of the Ye Family, Wang Bolin’s brother.

"Miss Jiang, I am so glad to finally meet you." Jiang Yue’s attention turned towards the person who approached her. She just excuse herself to get a refill of her sparkling wine and is currently away from Fu Jin right now.

Her gaze turned dark when she noticed that the one who approached her was no other than Peter Pardi.

"Mr. Pardi." she smiled at him. "I am glad to meet you as well."

"Really?" he raised an eyebrow. For some reason, Jiang Yue does not like the vibe that Peter Pardi carries. However, she still pretended not to be affected by his deathly aura.

"Of course not." She answered, surprising Peter Pardi. Seeing his smiling face shift, Jiang Yue was about to say that she was only joking when the latter suddenly burst into laughter. His eyes turned crescent as he clutched his stomach as if trying to suppress his laughter.

Now that Jiang Yue looked at this person, she could see that this man was indeed handsome just like what the rumor said. His deep blue eyes instantly caught Jiang Yue’s attention as it was almost similar to Antonio Pardi’s eyes. Anyone could clearly tell that they were related.

"How amusing," she heard him say. "You are indeed different. This is the reason why I like you."

Jiang Yue deadpanned at his words. What is this man doing? She was about to retort when she noticed another person approached them, this time it was Peter’s wife. Mia Pardi.

"Miss Jiang... " Mia beamed at her with her chin pointed, her eyes sparkled full of malice. Jiang Yue only raised an eyebrow before nodding at her. With Mia’s chin pointed to high, Jiang Yue instantly felt the urge to laugh out loud. She couldn’t help but wondered if this Mia is trying to intimidate her or make her laugh.

Maybe she was pretending to be a clown?

With this in mind, Jiang Yue smiled at Mia, mockery apparent in her eyes. "Mrs. Pardi... I hope you guys are enjoying Fu Jin’s birthday."

"Oh, we are... and we will." Mia’s words and gaze held some meaning but Jiang Yue chose to ignore it.

"I’m glad to know that. I would really love for everyone to keep their smiles until the end of the party." Jiang Yue said.

"Miss Jiang is too kind. It was obvious that you took a lot of time preparing for this party. I’m sure everyone will enjoy it until the end of the night." Mia said, she wanted to add that everyone would enjoy this party except the Moon Empire but chose not to.

Mia then glanced at the time and gave Jiang Yue an even more dazzling smile. In less than a minute, her and her maternal grandfather’s men will enter the Moon Empire’s underground storage facilities and will rob them of their diamonds. Too bad Jiang Yue and Fu Jin won’t even finish this night without their empire crumbling in front of them.

What she did not know was that Jiang Yue was also thinking of the same thing. "Oh, look at that, it’s time!" she said, her gaze never leaving Mia’s. This gesture was something that made Peter Pardi uncomfortable.

"What is it?" he asked, wondering if Jiang Yue is aware of his wife’s plans. However, this would be impossible, right?

"Oh. I was talking about the band. It’s one of my favorite. They will start performing in less than a minute."

"Oh. I always feel that they are only mediocre." Mia butted in while watching the band that is about to perform."I always assumed that Miss Jiang’s taste in music would be pretty classy, I never thought it would be this bleak."

Instead of feeling insulted, Jiang Yue only laughed at her words. "Bleak? Sometimes, most people directly assumed that something is mundane and boring because of their physical appearance. They would fail to see the brilliance of such talents. Of course, this applies to businessmen too. Most men would be dazzled by beauty and power, not by brains and attitude. Isn’t that right, Mr. Pardi?"

Her direct question earned a raised eyebrow from Peter. Seeing her husband’s reaction immediately made Mia pout. "Why are you asking my husband? Are you calling me a beauty with no brains?"

Seeing Jiang Yue just looked at her with a blank look on her face, Mia started to fume even more. She, Mia Pardi the future matriarch of the Vercello Family, had been called dumb by someone lower than her! How embarrassing!

"Mia calm down," Mia heard her husband’s words beside her. Then she felt her tap her shoulders, easing her anger.

However, Jiang Yue’s next words instantly made her explode.

"Beauty with no brains... what a fitting title."

"What did you say?" this time, Mia already raised her voice. She is aware that she is very good looking, in fact, she is very confident that she is the most beautiful woman in Emerald Country. She is also aware that is not only beautiful but she is also smart. Or that’s what she always told herself.

Mia is aware that compared to her three sisters she is not the smartest, however, she cannot be considered dumb as well. Above average should be the best term to describe her. How dare this woman criticize her and call her dumb in front of her husband?

Is she looking for death?

"I said, it’s a fitting title." Jiang Yue repeated, enjoying the fact that Mia is already red as a tomato from her rage.
