His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 231 - Destiny

Back to the present.

Watching the beautiful young woman sleeping in his arms, Jin Liwei thought that destiny was cruel. However, when thinking about it carefully, his destiny was determined not by pure chances alone but also by his own goddamn choices.

He was the one who chose to slip away from his mother’s birthday ball two years ago and overheard Fan Luo’s words. He was the one who chose to believe Fan Luo over the girl named Iris Long even when the evidence pointed at Fan Luo’s fault. He was the one who chose to erase all the evidence, not knowing that he was protecting an evil monster who already harmed other women before.

Then a year and a half later, he was the one who decided to approach the beautiful young woman reading a Russian book at the hotel lobby. He was the one who decided to pursue her even knowing that she was the girl he helped f*ck over. He was the one who allowed himself to fall so mindlessly in love with his baby girl.

Falling in love with Long Xiulan was the most unexpected thing that happened to him. The girl he thought insignificant two years ago turned out to become the most important person in his life.

The saying was true. Love indeed moved in mysterious ways.

At first, he only felt a primal and animalistic desire to obtain her after realizing what a genius she was. For the first time in his life, he felt lust for another human being. It didn’t matter that she was the girl who he helped f*ck over by erasing the evidence of her past accident. He just simply wanted her for himself.

He didn’t know exactly when his feelings started to evolve into love. She was like a black hole that sucked him in without any chances of escape. His fall was very quick—boom! He was never the same again.

Now that he was completely in love with her, he realized that he just didn’t want her as his wife. He wanted her love, her everything. He also wanted her to accept him for who he was.

But how could she do that when he was hiding such a terrible secret from her?

His secret was like a ticking time bomb. Any moment it could explode and when it did, everything he built with her so far would be destroyed into smithereens without any hope of recovery. He needed to defuse the bomb himself by telling her the truth.

"When you wake up, I’ll tell you everything," he whispered to her.

He pulled her closer to his body, as if trying to fuse her with him so that they could never be separated. Fear of losing her prevented him from falling asleep. He could deal with her fury and even her hatred, but he didn’t think he could deal with it if she decided to leave him forever.

A great pain squeezed his heart. He continued to agonize over his guilt and fear while he waited for her to wake up.

When the news broke out, everyone was shocked. All the condemnations and accusations thrown at both Jin Chonglin and Iris Long immediately stopped.

The LinLuo shippers and the haters of Jin Chonglin and Iris Long all shut up. They couldn’t believe that Fan Luo, the most perfect woman in their eyes, was actually such an evil woman. Many of them were in denial, even yelling fake news. However, the evidence was strong against Fan Luo.

As for the Black Stars and Jin Chonglin’s army of fans, they were stunned and then enraged. They screamed bloody murder and denounced Fan Luo. They also cried in heartbreak over what their Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin suffered because of this evil monster.

Some of them even rallied and formed an angry mob outside the hospital where Fan Luo was staying, demanding that she surrender herself to the police.

Not even an hour later, all the young socialites who had been exposed by the hacker KeymonSTER called for a group press conference. All of them confessed that their leader was Fan Luo, pushing all the blame on her for instigating them to organize the online hate campaign against Iris Long.

"We extend our deepest and sincerest formal apologies to Miss Iris Long for all the harm and hurt that we have caused due to our malice and immaturity. We have been led astray by a person who we thought was our friend but turned out to be a frighteningly evil person named Fan Luo. Today, we are officially declaring that we and our families are cutting ties with Fan Luo and the entire Fan family! Once again, we are very sorry for what we did in the past. We promise that we will never do it again and that we will change for the better!"

Some praised the socialites for owning up to their mistakes, but many were doubting their sincerity. They thought that the socialites were just saving their own a**es by throwing all the blame on Fan Luo now that her reputation was unrepairable.

Regardless of what their real reasons were for apologizing, the Black Stars still didn’t have any good feelings about these socialites who trampled upon their Boss Iris’ name.

The socialites’ press conference barely ended when another news broke out.

"Nation’s Most Evil Woman Fan Luo Supporting the Alarm Girls"

"Alarm Girls’ Lawyer Reportedly Paid by Fan Luo"

"Fan Luo Teamed Up with Alarm Girls, Known to be Long-Time Enemies of Iris Long"

By this time, the public already grew somewhat numb to the news revealing how evil Fan Luo was. The exposés were like an avalanche—nonstop, uncontrollable and destructive.

The law firm handling the Alarm Girls’ case released an official statement. They announced that their lawyer representing the girls was quitting, leaving the Alarm Girls to fend for themselves in the middle of their battle against Mr. Chen’s secretary and the nail polish company.

At this moment, the hacker KeymonSTER struck again. He exposed the young women accusing Mr. Chen and several higher-ups of the nail polish company as liars paid by Fan Luo to sabotage the trial against the Alarm Girls. Their accusations of sexual harassment, bribery and sextortion were done to damage the reputations of Mr. Chen and his colleagues.

Some of the women came forward to apologize for fear of their lives. They were already receiving death threats from random people.

"Fan Luo, that evil woman, was only treating the case between the Alarm Girls and the nail polish company as a test run. She said that if the Alarm Girls can get away with this case, they have a high chance of winning their next case against Miss Iris Long and her fans," one of the women revealed.

It was uncertain whether this woman was telling the truth or not. Would Fan Luo really reveal her intentions to someone she just paid to do her bidding? Perhaps the woman was just fanning the flames that was currently burning Fan Luo. No matter what the truth was, the media and the public were lapping all the details regarding Fan Luo’s wickedness.

Everyone wanted to hear from Iris Long herself but she hadn’t made any statements so far. Her social media accounts hadn’t been updated. People felt sorry for her and were enraged on her behalf. She had suffered so much, almost dying and having her reputation dragged through the mud over and over again, just because Fan Luo was jealous of her.

Bright Summit and JJ’s record label all released official statements condemning Fan Luo and stating their full support for Iris Long. Bright Summit especially emphasized their support because two of their current best-selling artists, Jin Chonglin and Iris Long, were involved in the current scandal with Fan Luo.

It was one revelation after another. The nation had more than enough to talk about with just these news alone.

Everyone was so absorbed at these explosive news that nobody noticed the recent news about the obliteration of three infamous gangs by a single new group. The authorities were still gathering information about this new group. They didn’t classify the group as a gang but temporarily called it an anti-gang instead.

Its leader was still unknown. However, they speculated that the leader must be someone with great wealth and outstanding leadership to be able to gather skilled members and to rise to prominence in such a short period of time.

With everyone focused on Fan Luo, Iris Long, Jin Chonglin and the Alarm Girls, this new group continued on their quest to destroy gangs unhindered. The police didn’t stop them, even encouraging them in their hearts for doing their job for them.

The wheels of destiny started turning a little faster.
