chapter-318
Iris observed Jiang Ying Yue's expression. She could sense that Jiang Ying Yue still had feelings for Long Hui. Something must've happened for her to reject Long Hui's repeated proposals. She inwardly shrugged, not wanting to interfere in other people's relationships. As long as her godson was safe and well, she didn't care how Jiang Ying Yue and Long Hui dealt with their own relationship with each other.
Dom continued to prattle on and on about Long Hui's heartfelt "confession" on TV. Iris could see that Jiang Ying Yue was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
"Your voice still sounds a little stuffy, Dom. Why don't you go rest?" she suggested just to get him off of Jiang Ying Yue.
"Eh? But I feel alright, boss. Don't worry! I'm already reco—" Dom sneezed hard, not once but two times. "Who is it?! Who's talking badly about my handsome and gorgeous self?!" Then he sneezed again.
"See? You're not fully recovered yet. Go take a rest, Dom," Iris told him.Dom could only nod his head. He excused himself and headed to his own room.
Jiang Ying Yue's eyes showed a grateful expression to Iris. Then her gaze fell on her son cuddling with Jin Liwei. If only it was Long Hui who was doting on Little Jun right now… She forcefully stopped herself from going in that direction.
Thinking about Long Hui and looking at their son, she didn't realize that her expression was becoming more and more worried and troubled.
Seeing her expression, Iris told her, "Ying Yue, you don't have to worry about Little Jun. He is my and Liwei's godson. We'll protect him no matter what and won't let anything bad happen to him. So calm your mind and just focus on being a good mother to him."
"En." Jin Liwei nodded.
Jiang Ying Yue teared up. "Thank you so much, Xiulan and Sir Liwei."
"Mommi?" Little Jun stopped playing with his toy when he saw his mother's tearful eyes. Then he stretched his little arms, reaching for her.Jiang Ying Yue walked over and took him from Jin Liwei. She hugged her son tightly without hurting him. There was a sense of desperation in her embrace.
"Mommi?" Little Jun touched her face. "No cwy, Mommi."
Everyone was shocked by what he said. Iris and Jin Liwei looked excited. He whipped out his phone, hoping for Little Jun to talk more.
"Oh!" Jiang Ying Yue burst into tears.
"Yes, I heard his words loud and clear with my own ears during the family meeting with the elders and the other members of the branch families. My cousin Tengfei said that he'll change his will if any of his other children proves to be more capable than Young Master Hui," Long Xiaopeng informed them.
He was Long Tengfei's distant cousin from a less powerful branch family. For a number of years now, he had become Zhu Ning's informant about the happenings within the Long family.
Zhu Ning looked excitedly at Long Jian. "Son, this is your chance! Long Hui's reputation will surely take a dive now that he announced in a press conference that his firstborn is illegitimate."
Long Jian scowled. He hated the word "illegitimate". However, he still nodded in agreement with his mother. Great determination and ambition burned in his eyes as he glared at their small yard.
Someday, he would be the most important and respected member of the Long family. He would buy himself and his mother a big mansion fit for a king. He would prove to everyone that despite being illegitimate, he could still achieve the highest heights in wealth, status and power. Then no one would dare mock him for being illegitimate again.
"Don't worry. Just continue to work hard and focus on being transferred to the main company as soon as possible, Jian'er. Leave the inner workings of the Long family to me. The members, especially the elders, are very incensed by Young Master Hui right now. I'll try influencing the other branches and make them believe that Young Master Hui is unfit to become the next head of the family and Long Industries," Long Xiaopeng assured them.
Zhu Ning smiled, looking very pleased at what she was hearing.
