Chapter 537 - Reverberate Throughout The Country
"Boss Iris, CEO Jin! You look so great together! Please tell us when you’re going to marry! We want to support you with our mighty slippers!"
"Ah! So beautiful and handsome! What a heavenly couple! I can’t wait until you make a cute baby bun together! I’m sure that your crown prince or princess will be so CUTE!!!"
Iris was signing autographs and taking photos with the Black Stars. Her face broke into a bright, breathtaking smile after hearing her fans’ words of support.
"Thank you, everyone! Liwei and I appreciate all of your support," she told them.
Jin Liwei nodded.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! Boss Iris and CEO Jin thanked us!!!"
All of these were being livestreamed online. Many of the fans were livestreaming the event themselves using their phones to their own small number of followers. The media were also livestreaming online. They had more viewers. The most popular one even had millions watching at the moment.
Since the Orchidia Beauty launch was still technically considered a private event, it wasn’t being broadcast on TV. So the media could only livestream it online.
###
There were many people watching the livestream. They had several choices of which to watch. Most of them chose the ones by the media because they were more professional compared to the fans’ shaky amateur livestreams.
However, not all of the people watching were doing it with supportive hearts. It was the exact opposite. They were watching the event with black hearts filled with hatred and envy, wishing a tragedy to befall on Iris Long and the others.
Long Hui in his own residence at the Long ancestral residence.
His mother, Zheng Suyin, at the Zheng ancestral residence.
Almost all the members of the Long branch families, including the elders, Long Jufang and Long Meng. Long Jufang and the camp supporting Iris were excited. Opportunistic glints flashed in their eyes. In contrast, Long Meng and the camp supporting Long Hui all had gloomy expressions. There were already some who were wavering, ready to jump ships again and return to the camp supporting Iris.
Long Jian and his mother, Zhu Ning. He didn’t stop his mother when she started throwing and wrecking things inside their house again. Zhu Ning went crazy with fury and envy when she watched Sun Jingfei walking the red carpet.
"That slut is a mistress! Why does she get to walk on the red carpet with that slut daughter of hers?!! Tengfei is also there! And that new wife of his! All those sluts!!! What are their qualifications to be invited in such an event?!!!" Zhu Ning screeched.
Long Jian also wanted to know.
When Wei Lan appeared on TV, looking poised and classy, very much like a viscountess, Zhu Ning totally snapped. The sounds of wreckage intensified inside their house.
"Why?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!"
Zhu Ning was so overcome by envy and fury that she stiffened, eyes rolling to the back of her head, and then dropped to the ground unmoving.
"Mother!"
Long Jian was scared out of his wits when his mother fainted. Later, an ambulance arrived and took them to the hospital.
In a condo unit, Rose Young and Jenny Tseng were drinking gin as they watched the livestream. The livestream caught the moment when Iris Long and Jin Liwei were kissing.
Rose’s eyes turned red. She threw her glass to the floor where it shattered into several sharp pieces. Then she burst into tears.
"Big Brother Liwei, why are you kissing that dirty slut?!! You belong to me!!! Please love me!!! LOVE ME!!! ONLY MEEEEEE!!! Die, Iris Long! You slut!!! Stay away from Big Brother Liwei!!! He’s mine!!! ALL MINE!!! I’m gonna kill you!!!"
Throughout her meltdown, her friend Jenny Tseng was laughing.
"Ahahahaha! You’re so funny, Rosie! Good thing we’re friends because if we’re not, I’m so gonna start hating on you. Your level of delusion is just out of this world. It’s getting kinda annoying, you know. But since we’re friends, you’re okay! You’re still so funny, though. Ahahaha!"
Rose grabbed her friend’s glass and downed the gin.
"Hey! That’s mine!"
"Shut up, Jenny," Rose muttered.
"Pft! Ahahaha!"
In Singapore, Rose Young’s father, Romeo Young, was also watching the livestream. No emotions showed on his face. He watched Jin Liwei walk on the red carpet with the woman blocking all of his plans and his daughter’s dreams—Iris Long. He grabbed his phone and called someone.
Back in China, Jin Chenggong returned to sit beside his wife in the living room. He just finished talking to Romeo Young on the phone. He was calmer now compared to yesterday when Jin Liwei cut off his branch family from the entire Jin clan. He looked like a man with a purpose.
"It looks like the main family has really accepted Iris Long to be the clan head’s wife," his wife said.
Jin Chenggong snorted. "That woman bewitched everyone in the main family, like how she bewitched Jin Liwei to make him fall in love with her. Did you see her mother? Walking so pompously on the red carpet with so many bodyguards! So what if she has become a viscountess? In the end, she only obtained her status from seducing a man. Those mother and daughter are the same! Without the men they bewitched, they would be nobodies!"
Their disowned branch family wasn’t the only one watching the livestream. The other Jin branch families were also watching.
They were saying that it was to support their second master, Jin Chonglin, because he was one of the new company’s endorsers but that was a lie. They were watching because of Iris Long, their future Madam. There were a lot of them who didn’t approve of her as their clan head’s wife.
"She’s not good enough," they said.
However, they didn’t dare voice out their disapprovals, especially in front of Jin Liwei and the main family. They were afraid of being disowned like what happened to Jin Chenggong and his branch family.
In addition to all of these people, there were also others watching the event online.
Jin Corporation employees.
Almost everyone in high society.
People in the country’s business world who were curious about CEO Jin Liwei’s engagement to the celebrity Iris Long.
Upon seeing all of the influential figures walking the red carpet, they were all shocked, amazed and impressed by the guest list.
"We need to take note of this new company, Orchidia Beauty. Being able to gather all those impressive people...the owner is not a simple person," a company CEO said. "Good thing that we’re not in the beauty industry. All the other beauty companies must be feeling very anxious right now. It seems like a new powerful rival has arrived to take a big chunk of their market shares."
It was a restless night for all of these people for different reasons. Orchidia Beauty might be an entirely new company, but it was already making a big splash which was reverberating throughout the entire country. All eyes were on the new company tonight.
