His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1236

Chapter 1236 - Less Than A Second

In some sense, there was wisdom in Wei Lan's words. It was just a shame that the woman's innate personality and life experiences made her worldview crooked. It also didn't help that she married and divorced a womanizer like Long Tengfei who ended up becoming someone akin to her mortal enemy.

Iris had no love for Wei Lan. Even the original Long Xiulan didn't have that much affection for her own mother. However, Iris found Wei Lan pitiful in a way. The woman wasn't inherently evil but she was incredibly shallow, narcissistic and self-centred.

Listening to Wei Lan's advice, Iris understood that the woman was rather pessimistic and didn't believe in absolute loyalty between lovers. True love might be real, but sexual monogamy was only a myth. This was what Iris extracted from Wei Lan's chatter.

Iris didn't bother correcting Wei Lan in her assumption that Jin Liwei would surely be tempted to find a mistress outside if she failed to maintain her beauty and figure. Trusting her man was enough. She didn't care about what others thought, even if it was Wei Lan, her body's biological mother. She and Jin Liwei would just prove to everyone that their love and faithfulness for each other were true by their actions instead of their words alone.

Wei Lan kept on chattering, not caring if anyone was listening to her or not. Iris was starting to feel bored. She eyed the cookies near René Alejandro. Surprisingly, the Spaniard noticed her look right away and pushed the plate towards her. The man smiled at her, showing his deep dimples.

"Thank you," she said in Spanish.

"You're welcome," he replied in Spanish as well, his smile deepening.

Before Jin Liwei could feel jealous and protective, René Alejandro already shifted his grey eyes away from Iris back to him. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Liam, are there more people coming?" René Alejandro asked.

Jin Liwei stared at him for a few seconds before nodding. "En, the others are running late but should arrive by dinnertime. This gathering isn't anything formal. The time doesn't matter much as long as we all get together and spend time with each other."

"I see." René Alejandro was about to continue talking when the door opened and a muscular woman came in.

The toddler called Little Jun shouted "Mommi" before running towards the woman. She swept her child in her arms and lifted him up high in the air like it was nothing. René Alejandro's expression displayed a flash of admiration at the woman's strength.

He recognized her as Jiang Ying Yue, the ex of Iris Long's eldest half-brother and the mother of her and Jin Liwei's godson. According to his team's research, she was Iris Long's former bodyguard before Jin Liwei hired her to become a member of his security team.

"There you are, girl!" Wei Lan exclaimed at Jiang Ying Yue's arrival. "Why did your muscles get bigger?! Oh noooooooooo! You let your eyebrows grow again! A little mooooooore and you'll have a unibrow! Girl, come here and let me see you! Don't tell me you already forgot all the beauty and fashion advice that I taught you befooooooore?!"

René Alejandro was surprised that Wei Lan acted quite close to Jiang Ying Yue. He didn't expect this. His expression was neutral, but inside, he was calculating if he could use Jiang Ying Yue's connection to Wei Lan to get closer to Iris Long and eventually to Jin Liwei.

"Madam," Jiang Ying Yue greeted Wei Lan before nodding at Iris, Jin Liwei and the others while carrying Little Jun in one arm.

"What are yooooouuuu yelling at me for?!" Wei Lan wasn't someone who would take his attitude lying down. She lifted her chin and glared at him. "Did I say anything wrooooong? Your eldest son is a BIG PIECE OF SHIT." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
