His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
chapter-473

The tense atmosphere was interrupted when the leader of the men in black suits received communication from his earpiece. Then he announced to his colleagues that the master and the mistress would be arriving in about ten to fifteen minutes. It would normally take them longer to arrive because Dragon Palace Home #10 was quite far from the condo building, but it seemed that they were hurrying up, perhaps even going over the road's speed limits.

Long Hui, Jiang Ying Yue and Wei Lan also heard the announcement.

A flash of panic appeared in Long Hui's eyes. He redoubled his efforts to escape from the men restraining him. However, his efforts were useless.

Wei Lan looked relieved, saying, "Very goooood! Let's wait for my daughter and son-in-law to arrive. In the meantime, don't let that bully go. My daughter and Liwei will decide what to do with that villain."

"I'm going to leave now! Let me go!" Long Hui continued to struggle against the men holding him. "Ying Yue, tell them to let me go!"

Wei Lan pointed her curling iron at him again like a sword.

"Oh no no noooo! You're not going to order Ying Yue around! You're no longer in a relationship. You can't influence her anymoooore!" Then she turned to Jiang Ying Yue. "Don't listen to him, girl! Don't be stupid anymore, okaaaay?"

Jiang Ying Yue didn't respond to her. Instead, she looked at Long Hui with a sad and resigned expression. She wiped her tears and looked at the leader of Jin Liwei's men.

"Let him go," she told him.

Wei Lan gasped . Jin Liwei's subordinates were also taken aback but didn't move, continuing to restrain Long Hui. As for Long Hui, he was also surprised. He stopped struggling to stare at her, examining her expression and trying to find out if she had any ulterior motives for requesting the men to let him go.

"Stupid girl! What are you doing?!" Wei Lan asked in complete disbelief.

Jiang Ying Yue wiped more tears before sighing. The hand she used to slap Long Hui was trembling. She could still feel the sting from the impact of her hand hitting his face. The slap didn't feel satisfying at all. In fact, it broke her heart into a million pieces. She was already starting to feel numb from tonight's emotional events, perhaps from shock. Before she could completely go numb, however, she gave this final act of compassion towards her former lover and the father of her child.

It was because she knew that once Iris and Jin Liwei arrived, the two would be completely merciless towards Long Hui. She had no idea what the two would do to him, but it certainly wouldn't be pretty. Even if it wasn't for her, they would definitely punish Long Hui for their beloved godson, Little Jun.

Yes, Long Hui hurt Jiang Ying Yue. He hurt her so badly that she was beginning to feel numb from too much pain. Despite this, there still remained some love for him inside her. Although it was now gradually dying because of how he hurt her, it was nevertheless still love. It was this dying love that made her soft-hearted for him even at this moment.

"Please let him go," she requested from the leader again. Then she added, "I'll take full responsibility. Xiulan and Sir Liwei won't punish you."

Jin Liwei's subordinates hesitated. They all looked at their leader, waiting for his decision. In the end, the leader ordered his colleagues to release Long Hui. It was because he already grew friendly with Jiang Ying Yue. She was the head of the condo building's security while he was the leader of Jin Liwei's security team assigned to guard the people living at the penthouse. They interacted with each other a lot while working, not to mention that Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun were also considered as residents of the penthouse even though they slept in another unit.

As soon as he was released, Long Hui didn't waste any time and immediately ran out of the unit, but not before giving an "I'll be back" glare at Jiang Ying Yue which crushed her already broken heart even more. He didn't stop running until he was out of the building. He also ordered his driver waiting outside to step on the gas pedal and leave the area as quickly as possible.

Back inside the unit, Wei Lan was fuming at Jiang Ying Yue.

"I can't believe this! I can't believe you just let that asshole go! You stupid, stuuuuupiiiiid, STUPID girl!!! Did you see his expression before he ran out like the coward that he is? It's so obvious that he's afraid of directly confronting my daughter and my son-in-law! Why didn't you wait for my daughter and dear Liwei to arrive? Mark my words, you stuuuuupiiiiid girl. That piece of shit will return and try to hurt you again! Even harder next time! The Longs are extremely prideful people. You wounded his pride tonight. He won't forgive you for that. Gah! I'm so maaaaaaad!!!"

Wei Lan threw her curling iron at the floor in her anger. It didn't break because it was extremely durable. Of course, it was also extremely expensive. It was even infused with diamond dust to increase its toughness. She had also already forgotten about her determination to not curse in coarse language. She was so mad. Endless curse words spilled out of her mouth.

Iris and Jin Liwei sat together on one couch. Their matching cold expressions and intimidating aura made the surrounding subordinates break out in cold sweat.

Of course, this included Jiang Ying Yue who was sitting by herself on the opposite couch. She was feeling numb from everything that happened but still couldn't stop herself from feeling intimidated and also guilty in front of the couple.

Standing alone by the tall windows like a dark emperor was Lu Zihao. He gazed at the night lights of the city outside, as if looking at his empire. His posture indicated that he was relaxed and easy-going as usual, but for some reason, Jin Liwei's subordinates detected a great sense of danger emanating from him. It was even more intense than what they felt from their master and mistress combined.
