His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413 - Just Like ME

This was the first time that Jiang Ying Yue, Little Jun and Clover were meeting Wei Lan in person. Dom had already met her before during her short visits to see Iris at the penthouse.

Although Wei Lan didn’t spend much time with Iris, at least she made it a point to see or call her daughter every few months or so. It was only when Iris went into coma for the second time that Wei Lan "disappeared" and stopped her sporadic visits. However, Wei Lan reconnected with Iris again later to update her on her latest escapades while travelling all around the world.

Perhaps it was a good thing that Iris and Wei Lan didn’t see each other often during the latter part of last year. It was the time when the remnant inside Iris was the most volatile.

The mother and daughter had a love-hate relationship with each other because they were too alike in their "me first" philosophy in life. The original Iris held a strong resentment against her mother.

If Wei Lan became much more involved with Iris during that unstable period last year, who knew how much more havoc the remnant would’ve caused Iris?

At the moment, everyone (except Iris) couldn’t stop looking at Wei Lan standing in front of them. Wei Lan still retained her youthful, tall and slim model body even at middle age. She was much "flatter" compared to her daughter’s shapely hour-glass body, but Wei Lan actually looked more seductive despite this.

Her face was gorgeous. Iris inherited a big part of her beauty from her mother. The resemblance was unmistakable between the two, but they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter because of Wei Lan’s youthful appearance.

Despite the resemblance, Iris had a more naturally angelic look than her mother, especially if she didn’t put any make-up on. In contrast, Wei Lan’s beauty was devilish with or without make-up.

Upon seeing his family finally return, Popcorn jumped out of Wei Lan’s arms and ran towards the newly arrived group. Since his mommy was carrying Little Jun, Popcorn leaped like an orange rocket to his daddy’s arms instead. The hyperactive yet affectionate cat meowed loudly, catching the attention of his sister all the way from the cat room.

Ice Cream, as always, was suspicious and even hostile to unfamiliar people. Even as Popcorn felt curious and began cautiously interacting with Wei Lan, Ice Cream stayed away from the woman.

If someone could hear the cat’s thoughts, she would probably say this:

"This is my territory. Intruders are unwelcome. Want to become my slave? Work hard to earn my approval first. Hmph!"

Everyone in the group gave the cats lots of love and attention, involuntarily ignoring Wei Lan for a few moments. Surprisingly, she didn’t complain like she always did. She just stood back and observed everyone.

When Little Jun asked to be placed down on the floor so that he could play with Ice Cream and Popcorn, Iris finally remembered Wei Lan. She quickly let go of the toddler before walking to where Wei Lan was standing.

"Mother, please excuse our rudeness," she said.

"Don’t worry about it, honey," Wei Lan replied.

Then she pulled her daughter for a quick hug and air kisses before looking at Iris from head to toe and back up again. She nodded in satisfaction.

"Hm, yes! You’ve become even mooooore beautiful—just like ME! That’s right! It’s only natural that MY daughter is as gorgeous as ME! But oh my goooooodness! Look at that skin! I swear your skin didn’t look like that when I last saw you! Which products have you been using, honey? Or did you undergo some sort of cosmetic procedure? Don’t be ashamed if you did. It’s the responsibility of gorgeous women like us to maintain our beauty for as loooooong as we can! How about you tell Mother your beauty secrets? I’m all ears!"

Wei Lan’s interest in her skin pleased Iris greatly. It meant that Orchidia Beauty’s products were all effective.

"Yes, I’m using new products but they’re not available on the market yet," she said.
