Chapter 994 - Gone Viral
Jin Liwei paused while walking Grandpa Lu to the door. "Do you not know what happened?"
The old man also stopped and looked at Jin Liwei. "What do you mean, my boy? What do I not know? I want to know!"
"I don"t think it"s my place to tell this to you—"
"Just tell your grandpa! Tell me, what is it? I want to know!"
Jin Liwei sighed. "Fifth Brother Zihao and Long Jinjing already broke up."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!"
Jin Liwei winced at the old man"s booming roar which reverberated throughout the entire office.
"What in the b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l did that dunderhead do?! How could he break up with such a nice young lady so soon?! They were so sticky with each other during your wedding that this old man was hoping that they"ll be the next one to marry and give me another great-grandbaby after you and Xiulan my girl, but now you"re telling me that they broke up?! What happened between them? Why did they break up all of a sudden? Tell me, I want to know!"
"I have no idea, Grandpa Lu. When Xiulan and I called Fifth Brother to ask him about it, he lost his temper and hung up the phone on us."
Jin Liwei didn"t feel guilty at divulging this much information to the old man. Although it wasn"t really him and his wife who angered Lu Zihao but their AI children for teasing their uncle, Jin Liwei considered it almost the same thing because Ketchup and Bacon were their AI children, and therefore, their responsibility.
"That Haohao is really a gigantic pinhead! Where else in the world can he find such a nice woman like Jinjing girl, eh?! Just watch this old man smack that dunderhead! Hmph!"
Jin Liwei sighed but didn"t say anything. Unlike the raging Grandpa Lu, he had no intention of interfering with his brother-in-law"s relations.h.i.+p with Long Jinjing. If truth be told, he preferred that the two didn"t reconcile. Long Jinjing was truly a nice and gentle woman who was timid at times while his brother-in-law was a dangerous man actively involved in shady businesses. Jin Liwei was certain that Long Jinjing didn"t know just how dangerous the man she had been sleeping with before the two broke up.
Grandpa Lu was still very incensed at the news. "This old man will leave now and head to Dragon Palace. When I get a hold of your fifth brother, I"ll scold him until his ears fall off! Hmph! That boy must"ve done something stupid, that"s why Jinjing girl broke up with him! What a pinhead! Bye now, my boy! I"ll see you at dinner!"
Jin Liwei returned to his desk after the old man left. He was planning on asking Ketchup for more information about what Bacon stole from their mother but Xu Tian returned at this time.
"Everything is done?"
"Yes, sir. Like what happened on Monday, Miss Young managed to calm down after you and Sir Lu left. Then she walked out of the company on her own, not allowing the security to physically throw her out."
Jin Liwei didn"t react, not the least bit impressed by the woman"s attempt to protect her dignity in front of other people. He didn"t care whether she was thrown by the security or walked out using her own feet.
"There"s another matter, sir. There were quite a lot of paparazzi and even reporters who blocked her when she came out of the company. At first we thought that they were here because of your marriage announcement with Madam Jin on À la Mode magazine, but I suspect that some of the ones who came today were cooperating with Miss Young. It"s just too coincidental with the tabloids this morning and her attendance in the emergency board of directors meeting today."
"Did she talk to the media outside?"
"Yes, sir."
Jin Liwei sneered. "Call Atty. Kang to deal with the media and Rose Young if she dares to slander me, my wife and the company using her own mouth."
"I already contacted Atty. Kang, sir."
"Good."
"The attorney also wants President to know that the case regarding Madam Jin"s mother and a few other madams at the exclusive restaurant will conclude soon."
"Oh?" Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow. "How did it go?"
"Atty. Kang handed the case over to Atty. Hong Shaoqiang instead because it involves Madam Jin."
Jin Liwei nodded. He already knew that part.
"It seems that the other madams who had an argument with President"s mother-in-law at the exclusive restaurant had their husbands" representatives reach an out-of-court settlement with Vizcondesa Lan and she accepted their offers."
"Money?"
"Yes, sir."
Jin Liwei sighed, feeling a little disappointed. He wanted the law the punish those high society matrons as a warning for dragging his wife"s name and insulting her during their argument with Wei Lan, but it seemed that the viscountess still hadn"t changed and was still weak when faced with the opportunity to make more money.
Oh well, there was nothing he could do to change Wei Lan"s personality. Besides, that incident was still considered minor. His AI children already humiliated those matrons by spreading some of their dirty secrets in high society. That should be enough punishment for insulting his wife. He would leave them alone now. They were just insignificant people in his eyes, anyway. However, they better not insult his wife again or he would make sure that they suffer something worse than the humiliation they endured by the airing of their dirty little secrets in public.
"Also, speaking of the exclusive restaurant, I already placed the waiter President recommended to one of our company"s subsidiary hotels. He already started working."
"Good." Ketchup already reported this to him. His AI daughter had been so excited and couldn"t stop thanking him.
Xu Tian was about to continue reporting when his tablet started buzzing. "Excuse me, sir. It"s from Young Miss Ketchup."
"Hm?" Jin Liwei waited.
It took Xu Tian a couple of minutes to go through whatever Ketchup was showing him on the tablet.
"What is it?" Jin Liwei couldn"t stop himself from asking because his a.s.sistant"s frown was deepening as the seconds ticked by.
"Uh, sir—"
"Daddy, Ketchup"s naughty kitty little brother is spreading something on the web! It has now gone viral. Wow wow! Meow~"
