His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 353 What\'s - Her

Chapter 353 What\'s - Her

"Wow, Xiulan. You're very savage today," Meimei observed.
Chen Fei snorted. "What do you mean 'today'? She has always been savage. This is her real personality."
"Xiao Fei, please," Long Jinjing begged her friend to stop with a tug on the arm.
Iris only raised an eyebrow at Chen Fei before flipping her hair back and ignoring her. Then she continued to talk to Jiang Ying Yue.
"Well, it's none of my business whatever happens in your relationship with Elder Brother Hui. I'm just saying that a man who can't properly defend and protect you is not worth your love. Just look at my darling. He'll do anything for me. That's why I love him very much."
The strange ill feelings inconspicuously hijacking her emotions retreated when her love for Jin Liwei overflowed inside her. A stupid smile broke out of her face at the thought of her darling.
"Pft!" Meimei laughed seeing her expression. "And I was wondering why you're suddenly being so bitchy about Big Brother Hui. It turns out that you just want to brag about your man to Big Sis Yue. Xiulan, you're so funny sometimes."
"Well, show me a man who's better than my darling," Iris dared Meimei.
"Fine, fine. I get it. Your man is the best. Happy?" Meimei continued to laugh.
Jiang Ying Yue also smiled at the lighthearted exchange. Meimei and Dom were very similar in that they could always find a way to lighten the atmosphere. Although Jiang Ying Yue was smiling, Iris' words managed to strike a chord within her. She felt disappointed that Long Hui was basically just asking her to endure all of the insults being thrown at her tonight. The dream of a happy family for the sake of her son was the only thing keeping her from bolting out of this place filled with judgmental people.
Although she appreciated that he brought her to the party, introduced her to his father, and held her hand in front of everyone, she wished that he would do something more. With every insult she kept on overhearing from the surrounding people, she felt belittled as a human being.
It reminded her of the vast difference between their statuses. Long Hui was the Crown Prince, while she was only a bodyguard. Her insecurity only grew.
Her depressing thoughts were interrupted by Chen Fei.
"Oh, look who just arrived," Chen Fei said. "It's the Wu family."
They turned their heads to the entrance. A mature couple around Long Tengfei's age walked in with an attractive, willowy young woman.
"That's the interior designer, Wu Qianxi. The Wu family's beloved daughter and their pride and joy." Then Chen Fei glanced at Jiang Ying Yue, adding, "And Big Brother Hui's ex-girlfriend."
Jiang Ying Yue stiffened at Chen Fei's words. Good thing that she was able to maintain a neutral expression, not showing how affected she really was by Wu Qianxi's presence.
She forced herself to look at Wu Qianxi. She had met the woman before when she worked as Long Hui's bodyguard. Long Hui and Wu Qianxi were still together during that time. However, the two rarely saw each other in person. Both were busy with their respective careers. Additionally, Wu Qianxi lived in the U.S., only returning to the country every few months. It was mostly a long-distance relationship.
"She looks weak. Ying Yue's body looks so much better. Look at those arms. They look like twigs," Iris commented.Something stirred unnoticed inside her again. It started to intertwine with her own emotions until there was almost no distinctions between what was hers and what was not. If Iris would only stop, examine and analyze her current feelings, she would notice that her bad-tempered attitude was so unlike the usual her. It was more like the original Iris Long. Unfortunately, she was at a party right now and didn't have the time for introspection.
Meimei giggled. "Oh, Xiulan. You're so bitchy today. I love it!"
Even Long Jinjing and Chen Fei smiled at Iris' bitchy comment. After a few moments, Chen Fei caught herself smiling and was surprised. She fixed her expression, erasing the smile from her face.
"Ying Yue, don't feel insecure because of that Wu what's-her-name," Iris continued. "If Elder Brother Hui chooses that woman over you, then he's a big idiot. I'm sure you'll find a better man than him who'll appreciate you and love you wholeheartedly. And don't worry about Little Jun. If that big idiot tries to take him away from you, my darling and I will wage a bloody war against him and that Wu what's-her-name."
"Ahahaha! Big idiot…Wu what's-her-name… Ahahahaha!" Meimei doubled over and laughed hard while clutching her stomach.
Long Jinjing also giggled. Chen Fei's mouth was twitching so badly, as she tried hard to stop herself from laughing.
'Dammit! I just find her words funny, that's all. It doesn't mean that I like this b*tch,' Chen Fei told herself while desperately trying hard not to laugh.
"Xiulan, thank you," Jiang Ying Yue said in her sincerest tone.
She was truly grateful. Although she found it weird that Iris was being so unusually bitchy today, she thought that it was just because Iris was being a friend to her. After all, true friends would always side with each other regardless of circumstance.
After giggling, Long Jinjing bit her lip when she realized that they were being mean. "I think we should stop badmouthing Miss Wu. It'll reflect badly on Father if others were to hear us. Besides, the Wus are long-time friends of our Long family…""Big Sister Jinjing, I'm a Long but I'm not friends with any of the Wus. Are you?" Iris countered.
"No…" Long Jinjing replied.
Meimei snickered.
"Fine, I'll stop," Iris Long finally said with a shrug. "As long as she doesn't make trouble with Ying Yue, I won't say anything."
"Oh! Look!" Chen Fei exclaimed. "Wu what's-her-name…I mean Wu Qianxi is talking to Big Brother Hui over there."
They all turned to where Chen Fei was looking at. Indeed, they saw the former lovers talking to each other.
"Maybe they're just greeting each other…" Long Jinjing suggested.
"Jinjing, we're all women here. Look at Wu Qianxi's expression. Tell me if she really just plans on greeting your brother," Chen Fei told her. "Oh! She just touched his arm. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 seconds! Let's round it to 10! Who touches a taken man for 10 seconds?"
"What the?! Now I'm angry. What are we going to do?" Meimei asked.
"What do YOU want to do?" Iris asked Jiang Ying Yue instead.
