His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1393

Chapter 1393 True Backer

While Iris Long was wowing everyone at the gala with her impromptu performance of the award-winning and history-making song "Monster of Insanity" with Pandemonium, the wedding ceremony of Long Hui and Mao Qiuyue finally ended.

However, the bride and groom didn't have any time to feel relieved because today's ordeal wasn't done yet. They still had to go to the wedding banquet. Its scheduled duration was longer than the wedding ceremony itself.

Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui were inside their vehicle on the way to the banquet. They looked exhausted. Even Yang Jiahui who usually had a pleasant temperament looked strained.

During the wedding ceremony earlier, Long Tengfei's first ex-wife found every chance to target them with unpleasant words. As the current wife, Yang Jiahui received more than half of the verbal attacks.

This was actually the first time that Yang Jiahui had this kind of interaction with her husband's first ex-wife. It was usually Wei Lan (second ex-wife and Iris' mother) and Zhu Ning (ex-mistress and Long Jian's mother) who often targeted her.

Zheng Suyin went into some kind of seclusion after her divorce with Long Tengfei. She rarely appeared in public. Thus, she and Yang Jiahui never encountered each other until today.

Yang Jiahui sensed that her husband's first ex-wife still might not have completely moved on from the divorce. Her words today were filled bitter resentment and furious indignation for her son, Long Hui.

She felt that handling Wei Lan and Zhu Ning was actually much easier than trying to deal with Zheng Suyin. At least with Wei Lan and Zhu Ning, she already knew what to expect.

Zheng Suyin, on the other hand, was someone unfamiliar. Yang Jiahui felt unprepared.

She really didn't want to spend the rest of today enduring the woman's verbal abuse. She might be tolerant but only to an extent.

"Stop the car," she ordered.

The driver found a nearby plaza and safely parked.

"What's wrong?" Long Tengfei asked.

"I don't want to go to the banquet anymore. You go by yourself. I'll call a taxi and go to the gala instead."

Long Tengfei's expression turned dark. "You're leaving me alone?"

She glared at him. Gone was her usual kindness and gentleness. She was truly angry this time. "You allowed your ex-wife to insult me!"

"What do you mean? I defended you!"

"Not enough!" She started unbuckling her seatbelt.

"Stop it, Jiahui. I'm not going to leave you here by yourself!"

"Then go call another car to pick me up and send me to the gala. I'd much rather spend the rest of today with my niece Meimei and Xiulan and the others who genuinely treat me well. I even prefer to spend time with Wei Lan. At least she already stopped picking fights with me ever since she remarried. The worst she does is ignore me which is already the best that I could ask from her. It's many times better than wasting my time enduring disrespect from your awful first family who think that they're superior compared to everybody else!"

Long Tengfei closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. However, he never let go of his wife. He held on, not allowing her to get out of the car.

"Jiahui, I don't want to fight with you."

"I don't want to fight with you either! But I can't help it when I feel so awful!"

"I feel awful, too." He paused then said, "I'm sorry."

She was startled and looked at him in both surprise and wonder.

"You already know that my…past history with women isn't something that I'm proud of."

Yang Jiahui snorted but she was already starting to calm down. Even so, she refused to give in so easily to him like she normally did. "You were born in the wrong era, Tengfei. You should've been born in the ancient times. Then you could've legally married more than one wife and taken in as much concubines as you can afford."

He sighed. Experience had taught him enough not to make any careless remarks to his angry woman or suffer the consequences. His wife, Yang Jiahui, was perhaps the only woman that he felt genuine romantic love for the first time in his life.

They were already at this age. Both of them were mature. Long Tengfei didn't want destroy this marriage like his previous ones. He wanted to keep this one until their last breaths.

The only method that he could think of at the moment that would reduce his wife's anger was what he had always been good at.

At the front passenger seat, Cai Guang, Long Tengfei's long-time assistant, immediately activated the partition wall to give his boss and lady boss some privacy. His expression barely changed, neither did the driver's.

Later, there was a knock from the backseat. Cai Guang lowered the partition wall.
