335 Am I Still Your Brother? (1/2)
”An 'unnecessary' favour,” Jin Liwei blocked his brother's claim in a cold voice. ”If people discover my relationship with Xiulan on their own, then so be it. We are hiding our relationship for now because it's not the right time to announce it yet, but we have no intentions of denying it if we're discovered. Don't interfere next time.”
At the moment, Jin Chonglin really wanted to cry. Wuwuwu! He did so much for the lovers, but they didn't even appreciate his effort!
But Jin Liwei wasn't finished yet.
”You should be thankful that we're brothers. I almost lost control earlier. If not because I don't want Mother to be heartbroken, I would've already beaten you up in a pulp. Xiulan is mine.”
'How brutal! Am I still your brother?' Jin Chonglin cried inside.
He was now regretting what he did. He shouldn't have thrown the bouquet to Iris during his performance. He really thought that he was doing them a favour but look! No appreciation at all!
”Fine,” he muttered and then began to sulk.
Jin Liwei glanced at his brother before returning his line of sight back to the stage. ”Great job on your performance,” he suddenly told him.
”Thanks,” Jin Chonglin replied, feeling a bit better.
Jin Liwei nodded and then added, ”But my wife's performance is still the best.”
The poor Jin Chonglin's eyes turned blank. Why did he feel like he already experienced this before? Was this déjà vu or what?
Then he remembered. His older brother told him something similar when he and Iris performed their new songs at ”MusicFest Tonight” earlier in the year.
”I get it already,” he said through gritted teeth. ”Your wife will always be your number 1. You don't have to rub it in my face every single time.”
”En.” Jin Liwei nodded, satisfied that his brother finally understood.
If not for the fact that people were watching them right now, Jin Chonglin would've already cried at being abandoned by his own brother. However, he didn't resent them. Not at all. Thinking about the beautiful and talented Iris Long, he understood why his older brother was so in love with her.
It was a pity that she was a troublemaker and nuisance when he personally met her years ago. Now that she had matured and changed for the better, he had to find out that his own brother already snatched her up for himself. Sighing, he felt a little envious of their relationship.
Jin Chonglin's thoughts were interrupted when the show resumed. He was able to quickly recover from his brother's brutal abandonment by immersing himself in the next performances.
Finally, it was time for the most important portion of the evening—the presentation of awards.
Everyone was excited. This was the moment that they had all been waiting for. The nominees began to feel nervous.
Female host: ”The voting polls for the people's choice awards are now closed. Thank you everyone for casting your votes!”
Male host: ”We will now announce the winners and present the awards.”
