His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 576 - Magnanimous Viscountess

Outside the police station, Wei Lan and company weren’t able to leave immediately because there was a big crowd blocking their way. The reporters were shouting questions at them.

"For now, my client and I need to discuss our next steps regarding the altercation with Madam Zhu. It was the other party who instigated the incident. My client, the viscountess, is completely innocent in this case. She is the victim," Attorney Hong Shaoqiang spoke to the reporters.

The reporters turned to Wei Lan. She spoke after receiving a nod of approval from the attorney.

"I am deeeeply embarrassed that all of you witnessed such a shaaaaaameful incident between I and Zhu Ning. Because of our former relationship with the same man, the father of both our childreeeeen, Zhu Ning and I have always been at odds with each other. We are like oil and water. We have neeeeeever gotten along. I don’t deny that. I just wish that she stops draaaaaaagging my lovely daughter into our conflict. She even threatened to kill my baaaaaaaby! How could I sit still after thaaaaat?! My daughter is happily engaged with deeeeeaaaar Liwei but she’s also veeeery busy with her showbiz work and her company Orchidia Beauty. I’m sooooo proud of her but also worried because she works soooooo hard! That’s why I’m doing my beeeeeest to help run her foundation, Iris of Hope. I don’t want this embarrassing incident to worry her and distract her from moooooore important matters that she neeeeds to take care of.

"I hope that Zhu Ning calms down and realizes that we should mooooove on and groooooow up. We’re not young anymoooore. It has been so looooong and I’m tired of fighting with her. I just want to enjoy the rest of my life with my beloooooved husband." She giggled at this point. "And also to enjoy my new cloooooser relationship with my daughter and my fuuuuuture son-in-law. Zhu Ning and I may neeeever be best friends but at least I hope that we stop trying to tear each other apart whenever we meet. I think that it’s the right tiiiiiiiiime to put things in the past where they belooooong."

The crowd oohed and aahed at her speech. They praised her for being magnanimous, even when her clothes were ripped, her hair was in disarray, and her body was covered in bruises and scratches.

"A woman of class, just like Boss Iris!"

"Yeah! Not like that barbaric hag who only knows how to use her fists!"

"She’s just an ex-mistress! How dare she beat up the legal wife?!"

"Wei Lan is also an ex, you know!"

"But at least she’s an ex-legal wife!"

The Black Stars among the crowd sided with Wei Lan. They felt angry on her behalf, especially after hearing such a magnanimous speech. She was indeed the mother of their Boss Iris! To these loyal fans, the mother and daughter were the epitomes of class and elegance even during adversities like this. Knowing that someone was threatening these lovely ladies filled them with hatred towards Zhu Ning.

As for Wei Lan, she could feel that the people were sympathizing with her. She made sure to show a "sincere" and "heartfelt" expression to maximize the people’s sympathy for her.

’1-0! Loser: Zhu Ning. Winner: MEEEE,’ she mentally chuckled, smug at the aftermath of Zhu Ning’s stupidity.

The people were on her side.

Two days later, Iris was on the road travelling to a mall show. Dom and Tang Yiyi were with her inside the executive van. Her male bodyguard was driving while her female bodyguard sat on the passenger seat. There was another vehicle following behind them manned by Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao’s subordinates. The mall show was expected to be crowded, so her security was a big priority today.

They were currently discussing Wei Lan and her fight with Zhu Ning the other day. It was all over the news ever since then.

Ketchup informed Iris about the situation while it was happening, so she was able to send her lawyer to Wei Lan at the police station. Attorney Hong Shaoqiang was currently busy working with Grandpa Lu and Jin Liwei’s lawyers to prepare for Jiang Ying Yue’s custody battle against Long Hui for Little Jun. It was fortunate that the lawyer treated her as a VIP client and immediately responded to her request to represent Wei Lan out of the blue.

"Poor Mama Boss! Her beautiful face and skin were scratched and bruised by that evil woman! Hmph!" Dom huffed.

Iris sighed. "Attorney Hong said that Mother decided not to file a case against that Zhu Ning. I asked Mother for the reason and she said that it will reflect badly on her husband’s noble reputation if she got involved in a legal case like this. Using her own words, she is trying to be ’magnanimous’."

"I was really shocked when I saw on TV that your mother was being beaten up," Tang Yiyi said.

Iris’ eyes turned cold. "That Zhu Ning better learn her lesson."

There was a part of her that was angry at Zhu Ning for hurting and insulting Wei Lan. She might not consider Wei Lan as her true mother, but the woman was still the one who gave birth to the body she was living in now. Without Wei Lan, there literally would be no Iris Long born in the world. In addition, Wei Lan had proven herself to have changed for the better ever since returning to the country. She had also been working hard as an ambassador for Iris of Hope.

"Hmph! That evil woman is just bitter and jealous of Mama Boss and you, boss!" Dom continued to complain about Zhu Ning.

Iris put a stop to the conversation when they finally arrived at the mall. The parking was full and there was already a great crowd of people scattered throughout the immediate vicinity of the mall. They weren’t shoppers but fans. The majority of them held banners with her name and image.

"Wow! Look at all those people. Ehehehe." Dom whipped out his phone and started recording the scene on video, planning to post it later on Iris’ social media pages.

"Ready, Iris?" Tang Yiyi asked.

"Of course," Iris replied with a smile. "It’s showtime."
