<h4>Chapter 1182 - Learned A Good Lesson </h4>


    Later that evening, Iris and Jin Liwei watched as the butler led Long Jufang out of their home office. When the door closed, Iris sighed and slumped on Jin Liwei’s chest.


    Jin Liwei brushed her hair back from her face before kissing her cheek. "Tired?"


    "Yeah." She captured his hand and kept it on her cheek. "That went very well. For us."


    "En."


    He let her hold his hand on her cheek while his other hand stroked her silky-smooth hair (made silkier and smoother by Orchidia Beauty’s original shampoo and conditioner, best-sellers).


    "Come with meter to find Big Sister Jinjing. I want to apologize for the difort she experienced earlier at the dinner table with Elder Long Jufang."


    "Not tonight, love."


    "Why not?"


    "Your brother won’t appreciate us interrupting them in their bedroom thiste at night."


    Realization dawned on her. "Oh. You’re right. I’ll just apologize to her tomorrow then."


    "En." He paused before saying, "What happened at the dinner table wasn’t your fault but mine."


    Indeed, it was Jin Liwei who orchestrated tonight’s farce at the dinner table. As soon as his wife told him earlier today that Long Jufang wanted to meet her and had something that she would be interested in, he immediately knew what the elder wanted to talk about. Aside from wanting to ensure his wife’s safety, he also wanted to put pressure on the elder in order to make the meeting more advantageous to his wife. This was why he wanted the meeting to take ce at their home.


    In addition, Jin Liwei arranged for Grandpa Lu, Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing to join them for the dinner as well. He knew that Long Jufang looked down on Long Jinjing because of her illegitimate birth. The elder’s disdainful attitude towards Long Jinjing would surely upset Lu Zihao and Grandpa Lu.


    Both Lu Zihao and Grandpa Lu weren’t shy at all in telling anyone to fuck off if they were pissed off. For someone like Long Jufang who prioritized building connections with important and powerful people, he would surely feel extreme pressure and anxiety after angering Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao. This would make Long Jufang more vulnerable to epting harsh conditions that were disadvantageous to him just for the sake of fixing the bad impression he left on the Lu grandfather and grandson.


    Indeed, Jin Liwei’s prediction was urate. Every single thing that happened tonight went ording to his n. He was pleased, especially since his wife was the biggest beneficiary, but he also felt sorry for making Long Jinjing go through that. He didn’t worry about her too much, though.


    His n extended to include Long Jinjing. She might have felt ufortable about what happened at the dinner table tonight, but after this, she would no longer have to go through frequent unfair treatment from the Longs.


    Jin Liwei’s original n was to show Long Jufang that he or anyone from the Long n could no longer bully Long Jinjing because she was now under his direct protection as a brother-inw, and most importantly, of Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao as well. He didn’t expect for Grandpa Lu to directly say to Long Jufang’s face that Long Jinjing would be his future granddaughter-inw. Compared to Jin Liwei’s original n, this was more effective.


    He looked at his wife now lying on hisp with a soft expression. "Do you mind what I did?"


    She shook her head. "It’s smart that I’m disappointed in myself for not thinking about it in the first ce."


    "That’s because you’re a straightforward person. You’re sure of your own abilities to face your opponents without ying dirty mind games with them. But sometimes, we need to y dirty especially with people like Long Jufang who has unjustified pride as high as Mount Everest."


    "You’re right." She shifted his hand that she was holding and kissed his palm. "I learned a good lesson today."


    "Leave this kind of things to me, your husband. You just focus on achieving your goals, love."


    "Thanks, darling."


    "My pleasure."


    She gestured for him to help her sit back up again. Afterwards, she cuddled with him while talking about their meeting with Long Jufang just now.


    Then she said, "After I acquire the shares that Elder Long Jufang will facilitate from his friend on my behalf, I’m going to be more aggressive in buying up more shares until I be one of the major shareholders of Long Industries. I don’t care anymore about going through the proper channels since most of the current shareholders don’t want to sell to me. I’ll use every means possible to buy a lot of shares quickly before people realize what is going on."


    She rubbed her belly. "I’m pregnant now and will give birth sometime next year. Then we’ll both be preupied with child-rearing. I don’t want to waste my precious time and energy on trying to persuade unwilling shareholders to sell their shares to me. The only problem is that they don’t specifically want to sell directly to me."


    "En. Have some other person or entity to buy the shares and then transfer them to you." Jin Liwei tapped the tip of her nose with his index finger. "That’s what I wanted you to do before. I can even do it for you but you insisted on going through the proper channels."


    She sighed. "I wasn’t pregnant, then. I had more time and energy to spare ying with them. But now...I want to spend my time and energy learning how to be a good mother to our children instead."


    "You’re already a great mother, Evelina. You’ll be fine. We’ll both be fine."


    She smiled. The fear and anxiety about being a bad mother was still there but her husband’s repeated assurances were gradually filling her with courage. <i>[Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot). Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]</i>


    "Do you need me to take care of the shares?" Jin Liwei asked.


    "We’ll do it together. I have a n."


    She shared her n with him. He contemted about it and nodded.


    "We have to iron out some of the details but overall it’s a good n," he said afterwards. "Invite Qiao Yu and yourwyer over and we’ll make it happen as soon as possible."


    "Okay, darling. You’re the best."


    He chuckled. "If I’m the best, then where’s my kiss?"


    She gave him a smacking kiss on the lips.


    The husband and wife grinned at each other like two stupid idiots.
