807 Jin Liwei’s Headache (1/2)
”Aren't the two of you marrying at the end of the month?” Jin Chonglin asked when he recovered a little from his shock. ”Couldn't you wait to get pregnant until after your wedding? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Iris moved to sit up. He hurried forward to help her. She murmured thanks before harrumphing. ”It's your brother's fault! He's the one who got me pregnant. His sperm cells are too dangerous!”
Jin Chonglin stared at her. ”Did my big bro make the baby by himself? Aren't you an active participant in the act as well? Why are you only blaming him?”
She glared at him.
”Don't upset your sister-in-law,” Jin Liwei's voice said on the phone. ”She's having difficulty controlling her emotions due to her pregnancy. Be careful. She might beat you up if you anger her.”
Jin Chonglin immediately became wary of Iris after hearing his brother's warning. He stepped back and began treating her like a wild beast.
Iris' manager was frantic upon learning that she fainted. Tang Yiyi only calmed down after speaking to Jin Liwei on the phone. As per Jin Liwei's request, she quickly took control of the situation and went out to deal with the event's production staff, explaining and apologizing to them why Iris had to leave early. Jin Chonglin also backed her up so they couldn't really blame Iris for what happened.
Moments later, Iris' bodyguards finally arrived to take her home. After the two groups said good bye to each other, Jin Chonglin and his manager returned to their seats in the audience. Lin Dong took Iris' seat and sat beside Jin Chonglin. They stayed until the awards ceremony was over before heading to the after-party.
The news that Iris Long fainted backstage and had to leave the awards ceremony early leaked online. For a couple of minutes, insider photos and videos of Jin Chonglin catching the fainting Iris and carrying her away were posted on several social media platforms. But before the entertainment websites and blogs could re-post the photos and videos, they already disappeared. No matter how many times people tried to re-upload them, they just kept on disappearing.
The Slippers Army was blamed for this strange phenomenon. They didn't deny it but in their private group chat, they were as bewildered about it as the other people who were blaming them. Nevertheless, they approved of the person who did it because it protected their Boss Iris' image.
In cyberspace, a certain white cat—also known as KittyBaby online and a high-ranking member in the elite troll group Slippers Army of the Black Stars—was hard at work erasing all copies of the photos and videos of her mommy collapsing as per her daddy's instruction. Her black little kitty brother watched her as she worked.

Dragon Palace Home #10.
Jin Liwei was at his home office. He just got off the phone with his baby girl who was now on her way home. His tight, cold expression indicated that he was restraining his temper.
Earlier, he was watching the awards ceremony live on TV inside his office while reading some company reports. Although his baby girl maintained a pleasant smiling expression the entire time, just one look at her and he knew right away that something was wrong.
He had the strongest urge to go to the event and drag her home but controlled himself, knowing that she wanted to attend the awards ceremony. As much as possible, he didn't want them fighting due to his interference in her career again. All he could do was to call her bodyguards to stand by if something really happened to her.
And indeed, something really did happen.
