Chapter 449 - Loose Woman
Hearing Iris say that she would drive to where Rose Young was at and choke the woman to death, Jin Liwei knew that his baby girl was truly angered this time. Everyone in their household knew that she had a phobia of driving—meaning, she couldn’t drive without freaking out—and yet, here she was, saying that she would do just that in order to kill someone. This Rose Young had crossed her line tonight.
Pissed off that his baby girl was mad at him and didn’t want to make love anymore, Jin Liwei also wanted to choke Rose Young to death.
"Hello? Big Brother—I mean, President Jin, are you there?" Rose Young continued to talk on the phone. "I think something is wrong with my phone. I can’t seem to contact you using it no matter how many times I try. So I asked our colleague if I could borrow his phone...."
"Miss Young, why do you keep on calling me? Is there an emergency?" Jin Liwei finally spoke. He almost snarled but managed to control his temper just in case there really was a work emergency.
He watched his baby girl climb off the bed and grab her satin robe hanging nearby. Her expression was cold as she put it on. He could feel her frustration and fury emanating from her in almost tangible waves.
"No, I... Actually, I don’t think it’s an emergency but...I thought that it might bother you, that’s why I keep on trying to contact you," Rose Young replied. "I don’t know if you’ve seen them, but there are photos of us online—"
"I’ve seen them. Is that all?" Jin Liwei cut her off.
"What, really? You’ve seen them?"
Iris scowled. It was a very subtle change in tone, but she was able to detect Rose Young’s excitement when Jin Liwei said that he had seen the photos.
Rose Young continued in an "aggrieved" tone, "I don’t know who posted them online, but they seem to know a lot about us. They even know the relationship between our families. Did you read the accompanying post? They’re saying that I’m your fiancée—"
"Miss Young, since it’s not an emergency, I have no interest in listening to you any longer. Don’t call or message me again. You even bothered our colleague and used his phone to contact me. So unprofessional," he scolded. "If you wish to discuss something with me about work, you can leave a message to my assistant. That’s all—"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wait, Big Brother! I still have something—"
"Miss Young. Your name is Rose Young, am I correct?" Iris finally butted in the conversation. She strode like a queen, almost floating on the floor until she reached the bedside table where the phone was at.
Silence descended in the bedroom. The only sound came from the gentle flowing water of the wall-mounted fountain.
Rose Young didn’t reply. It seemed that she was surprised that a female voice interrupted her call with Jin Liwei.
"What’s wrong, Miss Young? You were talking so much with MY fiancé just a few moments ago. Why aren’t you talking anymore?" Iris asked in a cool, almost snooty tone.
"Fi-fiancé... Are you Big Brother’s—"
"Yes, I’m Jin Liwei’s one and only fiancée. And why do you keep calling MY fiancé ’Big Brother’? Are you his sister? As far as I know, MY fiancé only has one sibling and that is Brother Chonglin. Aren’t you the new CMO at Jin Corporation? Is it appropriate for you to call the President-CEO as ’Big Brother’? I can’t believe that the board of directors would vote for someone who is so unprofessional."
"Miss...uh, may I know your name?"
"No, you may not," Iris replied without hesitation.
Jin Liwei moved and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled his baby girl to sit on his lap but she refused. However, she allowed him to place her between his legs. She remained standing while he pressed his head against her soft chest and hugged her tiny waist. He allowed her to take over the phone conversation with Rose Young. His baby girl needed to vent some of her anger and frustration. Afterwards, he would deal with the woman as soon as possible so that she couldn’t bother them anymore and make his baby girl mad again.
A faint exhalation of disbelief sounded from the phone, then a deep intake of breath. "Fine. Miss, I assure you that I’m a very professional businesswoman and fully qualified for my position as the new Chief Marketing Officer of Jin Corporation. My education, experience, and overall credentials are all top-notch—"
"How unfortunate that the morals aren’t top-notch as well," Iris "murmured" in a clear voice.
Another deep intake of breath from Rose Young. "What do you mean?"
"Miss Young, let me ask you this. Are you aware that Jin Liwei is an engaged man? And that he already has a fiancée who he plans on marrying?"
Rose Young didn’t answer for a few seconds. Finally, she said, "Yes...I’m aware..."
Her reply sounded like she just forced herself to say it.
"Oh? Really? You knew?" Iris acted like she was surprised. "I thought you didn’t know from the way you’ve been chasing after MY fiancé."
"I am NOT chasing—"
"Calling and messaging MY fiancé several times a day about something that is not work-related, walking beside him, pretending to trip just to touch him, calling him ’Big Brother and acting like you’re close to him, borrowing someone else’s phone just to call him at almost midnight when he already blocked your number because you’re so annoying...what else? Oh right. Feeling happy that others mistook you as his fiancée."
Iris felt Jin Liwei’s arms tighten around her waist. She looked down and saw him frowning at Rose Young on the phone. He was about to open his mouth, but she quickly pressed a finger on his lips to prevent him from speaking. Then she pinched his earlobe, silently telling him to let her be the one to talk for now.
"Tell me, Miss Young. What do you call a woman doing all of these just to catch the attention of a taken man? Are these something a moral woman would do? You just described yourself as a ’very professional businesswoman’, but all I see from my point of view is a loose woman trying to seduce my man."
"L-loose woman?! How dare you call me a loose woman?! I’m a member of the Young family!" Rose Young finally lost her composure.
"What does being a member of the Young family have to do with you being a loose woman?" Iris asked, unperturbed. "I am just describing what I observe."
"I deny your allegations. You are sorely mistaken and blinded by your own jealousy. Big Brother Liwei—I mean President Jin and I are colleagues and friends—"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We are not friends," Jin Liwei interrupted.
"Big Brother Liwei!"
"Stop calling me that. I’m not your big brother."
"I...alright. President Jin, have you been listening to our conversation the entire time?"
"En."
"Then please speak to your...to the person beside you to watch her words. She is letting her jealousy cloud her judgment and has accused me of being something that I am not. President, this is defamation!" Rose Young complained to Jin Liwei.
Iris snorted.
"Miss Young, you are the one who should be watching your words," Jin Liwei warned her instead. "The person beside me is my fiancée, my future wife. Accusing the future Madam Jin of defamation is not very smart."
Rose Young was unable to reply back.
Iris spoke again. "As far as I know, a relationship is only meant for two people but unfortunately, it seems that some people don’t know how to count. There is no room for one more in a relationship between two people. Some people just keep on trying to insert themselves where they don’t belong."
They could hear Rose Young’s deep and rapid breathing on the phone.
Iris continued, "Miss Young, all I’m saying is that regardless of background or achievements, I have no respect for women who go after taken men. For me, that is the very definition of a ’loose woman’."
"I still deny your allegations. I am NOT a loose woman," Rose Young said in tight voice. "Miss, you are overthinking things because of jealousy. I suggest for you to cool your head first."
"Jealous? Me? Of you?" Iris scoffed. "Don’t think too highly of yourself. I’m just being territorial and warning trespassers from encroaching on my territory. Miss Young, I’m only going to say this one time so you better listen. Stay away from MY fiancé, Jin Liwei, or you’ll regret it. I don’t give second warnings. That’s all. Goodbye."
