670 Bought For Love (2/2)

She sighed at his reminder of their work obligations. Indeed, both of their schedules were filled almost to the brim. If they didn't make it a point of keeping at least one day a week completely free, they wouldn't be able to spend any quality time together at all. Despite this, Iris loved keeping herself busy with work, especially with her music and companies. It made her feel gloriously alive with a sense of purpose, something she lacked in her past life.

Thanks to Jin Liwei, she was improving on how to maintain the right work-life balance. He was also extremely busy running the country's number one company, and yet he would drop everything and rush to her whenever she needed him. His love and commitment to her made her fall in love with him more deeply.

Their lovey-dovey segue was interrupted by a furious, booming voice.

Grandpa Lu, who had been keeping unusually quiet since the news story shifted its focus to Long Hui, finally exploded.

”Gah! Ying Yue my girl, how could you fall in love with such a loser?! I want to know! The only good thing that dum-dum did was provide the sperm to make my cute beloved great-grandbaby, Little Junjun! I must admit that he has excellent ability in that area but that's where it ends! Did his balls got cut off?! Because a real man wouldn't do those stupid things to the mother of his child! Hmph!! This old man is so angry!!!”

Jiang Ying Yue didn't know how to respond to Grandpa Lu, so she remained quiet instead. She looked down at her lap and clenched her hands into tight fists.

On the other side of the room, Little Jun was startled by his great-grandfather's angry, booming voice. ”Huh? Ampa Lu?”

Dom quickly distracted the child once again and managed to prevent Little Jun from running back where Grandpa Lu and the others sat in front of the TV. When Little Jun became absorbed by another cartoon, Dom quickly carried him out of the living area so that the adults could talk freely without needing to worry about the child. Popcorn followed them out while Ice Cream stayed and headed straight to her mommy's lap.

Iris, Jin Liwei and Jiang Ying Yue allowed Grandpa Lu to vent his anger long after the news program already moved on to another story. Watching the old man get angry at Long Hui for betraying her, Jiang Ying Yue felt better. When Grandpa Lu finally calmed down, Iris suggested that they play a game of chess to take their minds off of Long Hui until lunch time.

However, before the butler could set up the chessboard and the pieces, Jin Liwei's phone dinged.

It was a message from Ketchup.

”Hi Daddy! I saw all of you interested in the news about Uncle Yehan and that good-for-nothing scumbag Long Hui, so I compiled the latest news updates online for you! Meow~”

Iris peeked at his phone and they read the first headline together.

”Mao Qiuyue Bought Deputy CFO Long Hui's Love in Exchange for 5% Long Industries Shares?!”
