449 Loose Woman (1/2)
Hearing Iris say that she would drive to where Rose Young was at and choke the woman to death, Jin Liwei knew that his baby girl was truly angered this time. Everyone in their household knew that she had a phobia of driving—meaning, she couldn't drive without freaking out—and yet, here she was, saying that she would do just that in order to kill someone. This Rose Young had crossed her line tonight.
Pissed off that his baby girl was mad at him and didn't want to make love anymore, Jin Liwei also wanted to choke Rose Young to death.
”Hello? Big Brother—I mean, President Jin, are you there?” Rose Young continued to talk on the phone. ”I think something is wrong with my phone. I can't seem to contact you using it no matter how many times I try. So I asked our colleague if I could borrow his phone.…”
”Miss Young, why do you keep on calling me? Is there an emergency?” Jin Liwei finally spoke. He almost snarled but managed to control his temper just in case there really was a work emergency.
He watched his baby girl climb off the bed and grab her satin robe hanging nearby. Her expression was cold as she put it on. He could feel her frustration and fury emanating from her in almost tangible waves.
”No, I… Actually, I don't think it's an emergency but…I thought that it might bother you, that's why I keep on trying to contact you,” Rose Young replied. ”I don't know if you've seen them, but there are photos of us online—”
”I've seen them. Is that all?” Jin Liwei cut her off.
”What, really? You've seen them?”
Iris scowled. It was a very subtle change in tone, but she was able to detect Rose Young's excitement when Jin Liwei said that he had seen the photos.
Rose Young continued in an ”aggrieved” tone, ”I don't know who posted them online, but they seem to know a lot about us. They even know the relationship between our families. Did you read the accompanying post? They're saying that I'm your fiancée—”
”Miss Young, since it's not an emergency, I have no interest in listening to you any longer. Don't call or message me again. You even bothered our colleague and used his phone to contact me. So unprofessional,” he scolded. ”If you wish to discuss something with me about work, you can leave a message to my assistant. That's all—”
”Wait, Big Brother! I still have something—”
”Miss Young. Your name is Rose Young, am I correct?” Iris finally butted in the conversation. She strode like a queen, almost floating on the floor until she reached the bedside table where the phone was at.
Silence descended in the bedroom. The only sound came from the gentle flowing water of the wall-mounted fountain.
Rose Young didn't reply. It seemed that she was surprised that a female voice interrupted her call with Jin Liwei.
”What's wrong, Miss Young? You were talking so much with MY fiancé just a few moments ago. Why aren't you talking anymore?” Iris asked in a cool, almost snooty tone.
”Fi-fiancé… Are you Big Brother's—”
”Yes, I'm Jin Liwei's one and only fiancée. And why do you keep calling MY fiancé 'Big Brother'? Are you his sister? As far as I know, MY fiancé only has one sibling and that is Brother Chonglin. Aren't you the new CMO at Jin Corporation? Is it appropriate for you to call the President-CEO as 'Big Brother'? I can't believe that the board of directors would vote for someone who is so unprofessional.”
”Miss…uh, may I know your name?”
”No, you may not,” Iris replied without hesitation.
Jin Liwei moved and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled his baby girl to sit on his lap but she refused. However, she allowed him to place her between his legs. She remained standing while he pressed his head against her soft chest and hugged her tiny waist. He allowed her to take over the phone conversation with Rose Young. His baby girl needed to vent some of her anger and frustration. Afterwards, he would deal with the woman as soon as possible so that she couldn't bother them anymore and make his baby girl mad again.
A faint exhalation of disbelief sounded from the phone, then a deep intake of breath. ”Fine. Miss, I assure you that I'm a very professional businesswoman and fully qualified for my position as the new Chief Marketing Officer of Jin Corporation. My education, experience, and overall credentials are all top-notch—”
”How unfortunate that the morals aren't top-notch as well,” Iris ”murmured” in a clear voice.
Another deep intake of breath from Rose Young. ”What do you mean?”
”Miss Young, let me ask you this. Are you aware that Jin Liwei is an engaged man? And that he already has a fiancée who he plans on marrying?”
