His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 - Dinner At The Long Ancestral Residence Part I

Meimei interrupted her aunt’s happiness. "Whoa, Xiulan. Did Jinjing approve of you giving so many products away for free? She’ll complain to you about the company’s budget again."

Yang Jiahui’s excitement turned to concern instead. "Oh. Xiulan, is it really alright to give me this many Orchidia Beauty products? I don’t want you to get into trouble."

Iris gave a subtle glare at Meimei before smiling at Yang Jiahui. "Of course, Auntie. Don’t worry about it. You mustn’t forget that Orchidia Beauty is MY company. If it makes you feel better, these products are the last batch of samples that I’m free to give away for this month. I decided to give them all to you."

Indeed, Yang Jiahui felt better after hearing Iris’ assurance.

Meimei pouted. "Then what about me? You gave so many to Auntie but where’s my Orchidia Beauty free samples?"

"Didn’t you already mooch some from Clover?"

"You knew about that? Did she tell you?"

"Of course I know. I’m the company owner. Besides, it’s not like Clover is doing anything questionable behind my back. She also receives a set number of free samples every month. She could give it away to anyone as she likes. You two are the only ones acting like you’re doing something illegal."

Meimei giggled. "True. It just feels exciting that way. It gets me into a dangerous yet thrilling mood that is very important when I write my webtoon."

"Your webtoon is very entertaining. I’ve almost caught up to the latest chapter. I can see why it became extremely popular. Congratulations," Iris told her friend.

"Thanks, Xiulan!"

"And if you really like to receive more free products, then you must attend my company’s launch tomorrow. We’ll be giving out gift packages to all the guests who attend. They’re the full market versions of the products, not free samples."

"Really? That’s great! I can’t wait! Don’t worry! I already worked extra hard this past week on my webtoon so that I can take the day off tomorrow! I’ll definitely attend! Besides, that bossy bitch Chen Fei will kill me if I don’t come."

Iris chuckled and nodded.

Later, the group headed to the dining hall. Jin Liwei spoke with Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui about the France trip, while Iris and Meimei continued to chat with each other.

Meimei had big, dark eye bags. She also looked, er, fatter—COUGH COUGH—"bigger" than the last time Iris had seen her.

"Stress eating," Meimei said after noticing Iris trying to covertly look at her body. "My webtoon has entered a dramatic and emotional arc. I’m always crying whenever I’m working on it. Not to mention that many of my readers are demanding for faster and longer releases. Eating makes me feel better. It soothes me."

Iris only nodded, choosing not comment about it.

They finally arrived at the dining hall and were seated around the table. Iris and Jin Liwei noticed that there was an extra seating placement. Even Meimei looked confused.

"Is there someone else joining us?" Iris asked.

Yang Jiahui began acting nervous.

Long Tengfei cleared his throat before replying, "Your brother."

Iris, Jin Liwei and Meimei’s expressions turned dark.

Right at that moment, Long Hui arrived led by the old chamberlain. When he saw Iris and Jin Liwei, his expression also became ugly.

"Why are you here?" he asked, his tone filled with spite.

"That’s what I want to know, too," Iris said, her tone cold.

Long Hui sneered. "Of course I’ll be here. I live here, not like you."

Jin Liwei narrowed his eyes and was about to open his mouth to join the argument, but Iris squeezed his hand under the table, silently telling him to let her do the talking this time.

"Yes, you live in the compound at another wing, not here in the master’s wing. You’re not the head of the clan, so you’re not the master. Father is still alive so don’t go around claiming that you live here in the master’s wing. Based on your attitude, it sounds like you can’t wait for Father to die and replace him as the next head of the clan," Iris retorted without mercy.

The couple didn’t reply to his question, making Long Hui glare at them even more. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
