490 They’re Engaged?!!! (2/2)
Then on the same day, she was also photographed with the woman who turned out to be a Spanish viscountess. Many of the foreign reporters didn't know yet that Wei Lan and Iris Long were actually mother and daughter.
A few of the reporters also remembered her name among the nominees for the film festival's Best Soundtrack Award.
And now she attended the opening night in the arms of billionaire Liam Jin whose family was on the same level as the Lus in China?
Who in the world was this woman?
Not only did she have all of these impressive connections with important people, but it looked like she was also a talented music composer in her own right. After all, she wouldn't be nominated for Best Soundtrack Award if she didn't have the skills. The Sommet International Film Festival only shortlisted films of the highest quality. If Iris Long was nominated, then it meant that her work met the high standards of the selection committee. Even if she didn't win this time, she had already gained the respect of the film festival's followers just by being a nominee.
While the foreign media continued to snap photos of the posing couple and also started making mental plans to dig for more information about Iris Long, the Chinese reporters present were all in utter shock. They goggled at Iris Long and Jin Liwei in total disbelief.
Their eyes fell on Iris Long's engagement ring, the couple's matching bangles, and their obvious intimacy. They blinked their eyes several times and took a closer look at the couple's faces just to make sure that they were really Iris Long and CEO Jin Liwei.
Despite the shock, their hands automatically snapped countless photos of the couple. The reporter livestreaming the event for the Chinese viewers back home made sure to get a careful close-up of Iris Long and Jin Liwei. Of course, he focused on the engagement ring and their matching LX bangles to ensure that the viewers would clearly get the hint about the true nature of the pair's relationship.
The foreigners present at the event might not think much about Iris Long and Jin Liwei's relationship, but this was a big deal to the Chinese people, especially to Iris' fans, those related to showbiz, high society and the business world in the country.
Back in China, the livestream's view count had now reached more than 120,000 and it was still increasing by the minute. At the beginning, it was mostly the Black Stars who were watching, but Wei Lan's surprising appearance as a viscountess resulted in a sudden spike in view count. When the cast and crew of ”Strong Yet Broken” started appearing, more Black Stars logged in to watch the livestream in anticipation of their Boss Iris' debut in the Sommet International Film Festival.
Upon seeing their boss acting so intimate with CEO Jin Liwei, all of them were shocked out of their wits.
”What the hell?! Iris Long and Jin Liwei are engaged?!!!”
