Chapter 497 - It Should Be ME

Chapter 497 - It Should Be ME

It wasn’t only the Jin branch families who were freaking out upon learning the engagement between Iris Long and Jin Liwei. The Long branch families were also stunned into mixed reactions.

The camp supporting Iris, led by Elder Long Jufang, were shocked before quickly feeling ecstatic. Iris’ engagement to Jin Liwei meant that she would become the bridge connecting the Longs to the Jins. This connection was even better than their earlier assumption that she was engaged to Lu Zihao. Sir Lu Jianhong hadn’t named his grandson, Lu Zihao, or anyone else for that matter, as his heir yet.

On the other hand, Jin Liwei was already the current head of the Jin family and Jin Corporation. Long Jufang became even more determined to continue trying to establisha close personal connection to Iris, and in extension, to Jin Liwei as well.

In contrast to Iris’ supporters, thecamp supporting Long Hui had the opposite reaction. They were in complete disbelief, especially Long Meng. She recently managed to entice other relatives to jump ship to support Long Hui, making their camp the largest in the battle for succession in the Long clan. Many of those who originally supported Long Hui but then changed camps to support Iris instead returned once again after Long Hui bought the 5% shares.

Long Meng thought that Long Hui had now reclaimed his rightful position as the successor of the Long clan and Long Industries. She was especially pleased that Long Hui woke up from his rebelliousness and broke up with that female bodyguard. He had also become receptive to her advice.

Secretly working with his mother, Zheng Suyin, Long Meng was able to pair him to a suitable bride from a good family that they approved of. If he continued to listen to her and his mother’s advice, Long Meng believed that it was only a matter of time before Long Hui stabilized his position as the successor. The other contenders, including Iris, wouldn’t be able to threaten his position anymore.

Now, however, Iris had risen to become an even bigger threat than she was before because of her engagement with Jin Liwei. Long Meng disregarded the time and called Zheng Suyin on the phone.

This was an emergency!

All across the nation, many people were similarly shocked after discovering the relationship between Iris Long and Jin Liwei. They just couldn’t wrap their minds around the truth that the two seemingly incompatible people were engaged to each other. At first, they thought that it was a joke. But after watching the livestream and seeing the couple’s intimacy, they didn’t have a choice but to believe.

It was a sleepless night for most members of high society. Earlier that night, they were already shocked silly upon learning that Wei Lan had become a Spanish viscountess. They always saw Wei Lan as a gold digging, social climber who was inferior to them. To those who hated her, the fact that she had become a legitimate member of European nobility left a bitter taste in their mouths.

Now that it was her daughter’s turn to drop a bombshell, they were all left reeling in great astonishment. One thought entered their minds:

This mother and daughter were too godly in entrapping men of quality into marriage!

High society’s older generation of womencursed Wei Lan, while the younger generation hated Iris Long. They were filled with envy towards the mother and daughter. These spiteful women couldn’t accept that the mother and daughter whom they look down on now had elevated status because of their men.

Inside her condo unit, Rose Young was crying in anger and frustration while watching the livestream. Jenny Tseng, her friend and one of the biggest gossips in high society, called her nonstop until she woke up. Rose Young was irritated at being awakened in the middle of the night, but when Jenny Tseng uttered the magic words "Jin Liwei", she immediately listened and paid attention.

Upon learning that Iris Long was Jin Liwei’s fiancée, Rose Young burst into tears. She smashed the lamp, picture frame and everything else on her bedside table to the floor.

Now she knew why his fiancée’s voice sounded familiar when she talked to the woman on the phone before. The woman was actually fucking Iris Long! Of course, Iris Long’s voice sounded familiar because Rose Young often heard her whenever her commercials played on the TV or radio, not to mention whenever she guested in shows.

Rose Young glared at her laptop. The livestream showed Jin Liwei’s possessive arm wrapped around Iris Long’s waist. The two also frequently gazed into each other’s eyes. Jin Liwei also couldn’t seem to stop nuzzling Iris Long’s head or neck. Throughout the livestream, there wasn’t a time that the two separated. They were always together, as if connected by their hips. The intimacy between them was very obvious.

"You slut! How dare you steal Big Brother Liwei away from me! He’s mine! Big Brother is mine! Give him back to me! You fucking slut, I’ll kill you!" she shrieked, almost tearing her hair off from her scalp. Her teeth bared in a hiss, while her eyes looked bloodshot and manic.

"What did Big Brother Liwei see in you?! You’re nothing but a singer, a lowly showgirl! Is it because of your body?! Your breasts?! Is it?!! Just because of you have bigger breasts than me?!! Your body only looks nice now, but when you grow old, everything will be gone! You’ll become old, wrinkled and undesirable!!!

"I’m more successful and accomplished than you! I’m educated in the same Ivy league business school as Big Brother! I have high IQ! I’m the one who’s a perfect match for Big Brother Liwei, not you! You’re just a slut who depends on your face and body!

"Wake up, Big Brother Liwei! Don’t be blinded by beauty! That empty-brained slut is unsuitable for a powerful man like you! You should look for someoneclose to your level—ME! You should be marrying ME! It should be ME!!! Only ME!!! Open your eyes!!!"

Rose Young continued her hysterical ravings until the sun rose. Her hatred for Jin Liwei’s mysterious fiancée finally found a target—Iris Long.
