Chapter 1009: All or Nothing (1/2)
Satisfied by their responses, Rose Young told them about her rough plan.
”Whoa, Rosie dear! You're joking, right?” Jenny Tseng gave her friend an exaggerated once-over from head to toe, as if checking if Rose was still sane.
Similar to Jenny, Luke also expressed his hesitation after hearing his cousin's plan. ”Is this really okay? Uncle Romeo said that Big Sister Rose should be more careful during this time, lie low, and follow his instructions. Isn't this plan…uhm, too reckless?”
Only Jin Jiali supported her plan without doubting it for even a second. ”I'm all in, Big Sis! I might still be a teenager but I'll do my best to help your plan succeed in any way that I can!”
”Thank you, Jia'er.” Rose was very pleased by the teenage girl's resoluteness in supporting her despite the current public beating that her reputation was taking.
Jenny sighed in a dramatic manner before leaning forward towards her friend. Her botoxed face might not move much but it was still able to express her seriousness. ”Rosie honey, listen to your bestie, okay? You're a smart girl and should think up a better plan than this super clichéd stupidity. If this is a novel, the readers will be cursing the author for being so unoriginal.”
Rose crossed her arms over her chest and sent Jenny a displeased frown. ”You just said earlier that you're ready to help me with anything because that's what a best friend is supposed to do. Are you going back on your words now?”
”Sometimes being the voice of reason is also a best friend's duty especially if I know that my friend is planning to rush head first into something stupid. Rosie, you're usually super smart, but I swear to the god of botox that your IQ always falls to the negatives whenever it involves Jin Liwei.”
”I know what I'm doing, Jenny.”
”Girl, I would've believed those words if only you didn't copy-paste a stupid clichéd plan directly out of a trashy romance novel. I, Jenny Tseng, am not book-smart like you, but with two amicable divorces under my belt, at least I know that self-respect is important to live a happy and fulfilling life free of worries that can cause wrinkles, cellulites and sagging boobs!”
Rose glared at Jenny while both Luke and Jin Jiali stayed quiet and watched the two best friends' tense argument.
Jenny flipped her ash-blonde hair and continued lecturing. ”Also, I don't understand why you're so hung up on a frigid man like Jin Liwei. I've always tried to support your obsession with him, but I'm telling you that a man who doesn't respect you is not worth your time and love. I'm already getting tired watching you chasing after him for years with no results. Aren't you getting tired? Please, girl! Even if it's just a little, have some self-respect, okay? I promise that it'll make you feel so much better than regular sex and masturbation!”
”SHUT UP, JENNY!!!”
Rose grabbed her purse and threw it at her friend. Luke moved instinctively and blocked the small but heavy bag from hitting Jenny.
”You bitch!” Jenny jumped out of the couch and lunged at Rose but Luke hugged her and blocked her from attacking.
