His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1533  Is He a Masochist?

"It appears that he's desperate," Iris commented while observing the French magnate and his wife from the corner of her eyes.

"En." Jin Liwei nodded. "He mentioned that his company's membership in Cross Academy's exclusive business network is due for a review next year."

"If he helps Liberté, I don't mind vouching for him," she said.

"Up to you."

"I don't want our family to get closer to him, though. I still have a grudge against him for trying to influence you to cheat behind my back. Although Little Matcha hitting him is bad, I'm still proud of our son."

He chuckled. "En. Our son is very protective of our family. But don't worry, love. We'll teach him carefully so he won't randomly attack others whenever he loses his temper. There are plenty of ways to punish people without directly attacking them."

"You're bad, darling." She smiled.

He kissed her forehead.

"Our relationship with that Frenchman would remain business only," she said. "He helps Liberté gain a stable foothold in France and possibly in Europe, and I help his company stay in the academy's exclusive business network."

"En, that's the plan. I wouldn't have advised you to accept his gifts of apology if he wasn't useful for Liberté.

She stood on her tippy-toes and kissed the corner of his lip. "I know. Thank you, darling."

"Anything for you, love."

"Ahem!" Clover interrupted their lovey-dovey moment. "Sorry, boss and sir boss! But I need the boss to give the closing speech in a few moments—huh?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the stage.

Jin Chonglin stood there, holding a microphone.

"What's he doing?" Iris asked.

"I don't know," Clover replied. "Excuse me, boss and sir boss. I'll check!"

Clover ran and asked the staff what was going on. The staff members all shrugged. They had no idea what Jin Chonglin was planning either.

"Is your brother drunk?" Iris asked.

Jin Liwei frowned. What was his younger brother doing? This was his wife's important launch party for her perfumery. If his brother ruined it, Jin Liwei wouldn't let Jin Chonglin off. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hello, everyone!" Jin Chonglin greeted, taking everyone's attention. "First of all, I want to say thank you for coming to my sister-in-law's launch party for Liberté."

Iris raised an eyebrow. This didn't seem too bad? Even though this speech wasn't part of the original programme, having a superstar like Jin Chonglin thank everyone could only benefit Liberté.

Jin Chonglin continued speaking. "Second of all, don't forget to recommend Liberté perfumes to your family, friends, acquaintances, pets, random strangers…."

His words caused the guests to laugh. Nobody among the guests thought that this was an impromptu speech. They all thought that this was part of the original programme, especially seeing Madame Iris Long acting normally.

"Especially my perfume, 'Vaillance'. It's the best! Am I right?"

He drew another round of laughter.

Iris met Yin Meixing's eyes from across the venue. They both chuckled, shaking their heads.

"Of course, 'Eve' and 'Sérénité' are awesome, too." Jin Chonglin continued chatting with the audience.

"I think your brother is really drunk," Iris said.

Jin Liwei snorted, not caring about his younger brother anymore. As long as Jin Chonglin didn't ruin his wife's launch party, then Jin Liwei wouldn't punish him.

Jin Chonglin continued saying, "And finally, please give me a moment of your attention and cheer for me."

Just as he said these words, he stepped off the stage and started walking toward the audience. His backup dancers from earlier also appeared again. One carried a massive bouquet of roses and the other carried a camera filming everything.

Everyone fell silent as they watched what he was going to do with great enthusiasm and excitement.

"Is this what I think it is?" Iris grabbed her husband's arm and shook it.

Jin Liwei pulled his excited wife closer to him.

They watched his younger brother's actions along with everyone else.

Jin Chonglin stopped in front of his girlfriend, Chen Fei, who had been chatting with some of the other guests.

At first, panic flashed in her eyes from all the attention, but she quickly caught herself. She straightened her back and looked at his boyfriend, waiting for what he would do next.

The other guests whom she was chatting with slowly stepped away.

Jin Chonglin's backup dancer handed him the huge bouquet and took the microphone to hold it for him. Then Jin Chonglin gave the bouquet of roses to Chen Fei.

She took it but barely looked at it. All her attention was on the man standing in front of her. Her heart thundered inside her chest. She couldn't hear anything else besides his mesmerizing voice.

"Babe, I know that you still harbour a lot of reservations about our relationship," he said to the mic while looking at Chen Fei deep in the eyes. "I don't know when I started to fall for you. Maybe it's when we fight like cats and dogs whenever we see each other. Or maybe it's when you swear and curse at me whenever I get too absorbed in my self-importance. You're the only one who has ever looked me dead in the eyes and told me to my face that I'm a narcissistic diva man and should go to hell."

He spoke in his native language, causing the other guests who didn't understand to ask those who could speak Mandarin to translate for them.

As a result, people crowded around Iris and Jin Liwei, Grandpa Lu and his old friends, Clover, and a handful of others who were proficient in the language.

Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei didn't care about what was happening around them. In fact, they couldn't hear or see anything besides their own heartbeats and the expression of their lover.

"We traded barbed insults like bratty kids," he continued saying. "But mysteriously, we work great together. I even began to look forward to you scolding me."

"Is he a masochist?" Iris whispered to her husband.

Jin Liwei kissed her forehead but didn't reply. For some reason, he could relate to his younger brother.
