403 Orange (1/2)

Unfortunately, Long Hui wasn't receptive to any logical explanations at the moment. His currently volatile emotions were clouding his sound judgment. The only thing that registered in his mind from Iris' words was the part about Jin Liwei buying the entire company for her if she asked him to. This selective filtering of words caused him to misunderstand Iris even further.

”So you do want to buy the entire company! Huh?!”

Iris was caught off-guard by Long Hui's utter nonsense. Her provoked emotions calmed down, replaced by cold contempt instead.

”There's no use trying to reason with an idiot like you. You're not listening to what I'm saying. Let's go, Liwei. Let's leave this stupid fool to cool his head. Perhaps he'll regrow his brain cells that were drowned and killed by his stupidity tonight.”

She stood up and grabbed Jin Liwei's hand, pulling him on the way out of the kitchen. However, Long Hui wouldn't allow them to leave just like that.

”Running away, little sister? Still pretending to be a good person?” he taunted her. ”Just admit that you want Long Industries for yourself!”

Iris didn't even look at him. Arguing with a stupid idiot like him was beneath her. She would only kill her precious brain cells trying to understand his foolish nonsense. She continued pulling Jin Liwei's hand, not bothering to respond to Long Hui's crazy tirade.

It was this scene that greeted Jiang Ying Yue when she returned after calming Little Jun and leaving him to Dom and Clover. She heard Long Hui's taunts directed at Iris.

”Hui, what are you saying? Stop it! Xiulan is your sister. Please don't fight with her,” she said, trying to calm him.

She held on to his arm, but he shook her off. Even though she knew that it was just his anger, she was still hurt by his action. However, she put it aside for now. She needed to stop the siblings from fighting.

All of the stress Long Hui experienced from being suppressed by the elders and the relatives during the months that he decided to live with Little Jun and Jiang Ying Yue and also the pressure of losing his supporters within the clan to Iris—everything exploded from inside him in one go. He totally lost his sanity at this moment.

”You're just the child of the second wife! What's more, your mother is nothing but a gold digging, social climbing slut who would open her legs to any man that has a fat bank account! She slept with all the men in high society! The daughter of a slut like you has no right to succeed Long Industries!”

Jiang Ying Yue gasped in shocked disbelief at his words. She stepped away from him, putting distance between them. She didn't recognize this Long Hui.

Iris' eyes turned cold and dangerous. The miniscule good feelings that she had for Long Hui all disappeared at that very instant. Instead of exploding at his derogatory insults, she became calmer instead. Extremely calm and cold-hearted towards him.

However, Jin Liwei reacted the opposite way.

”Say that again, you motherfucking son of a bitch!!!” he roared and pounced on Long Hui.

Jin Liwei punched Long Hui in the face. Long Hui fell to the floor. Not waiting for him to get up, Jin Liwei followed him to the floor and started raining punches and strikes on Long Hui. Jin Liwei was truly enraged this time. He was like a raging god of destruction meting out punishment to a sinner.

Long Hui's survival instincts kicked in.

Fight or flight?
