His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 486 - Chicken Pretending To Be A Phoenix

Chapter 486 - Chicken Pretending To Be A Phoenix

The best friend of Sun Jingfei, Long Jinjing's mother, repeatedly messaged and called her. However, Sun Jingfei was already asleep. She had a strict sleep routine because she needed to wake up early every morning to open her small bookstore. As a result, she didn't learn about the news until the next morning.

In another place, Zhu Ning, Long Jian's mother, was in complete disbelief upon watching the livestream after being alerted by her friends. At first, she didn't understand Wei Lan's long t.i.tle at all.

"What's a vizcondesa?" she asked her friends during a video call. "Does it mean 'social climber' or 'gold digger'? Or maybe both? Ahahaha! And what's with the other Spanish words? That s.l.u.t is so pretentious as always."

Her friends hesitated before explaining to her what "vizcondesa" meant. They told her that it was an official Spanish t.i.tle.

"Ahahaha! You must be joking! No way!" Zhu Ning didn't dare believe it.

However, her friends shared their observations. They noted that the car which dropped Wei Lan off at the red carpet bore the flags of Spain and of an official-looking coat of arms, presumably of the Viscountcy of Castillo de Estrellas. Since Wei Lan dared to use these two flags at such an important international event, her new t.i.tle as a viscountess must be true.

If it wasn't, she would be condemned not only by the film festival's followers, but also by the country of Spain and all the Spanish n.o.bility for pretending to be someone that she wasn't. The stakes were too high just to fake something like this especially in such a highly publicized international film festival.

In addition to this, the film festival's organizers themselves sent representatives to personally welcome Wei Lan. It was obvious by their actions that they treated her with much respect. They were also giving her extra special treatment compared to the other VIP guests. All of these showed that Wei Lan's new t.i.tle must be real.

It was only after her friends' explanations that Zhu Ning finally began to comprehend Wei Lan's new ident.i.ty. Her face contorted in fury upon realizing that the gulf between their statuses had increased exponentially.

Zhu Ning couldn't accept it!

She went bats.h.i.+t crazy and began wrecking the things in her house, as usual.

The household staff hid themselves from her sight for fear of becoming their madam's target. They wished that their young master were here. He was the only one who could calm his mother. Unfortunately, Long Jian was still on an out of town business trip.

"Noooo! How could that s.l.u.t reach so high?!! Curse you, Wei Lan!!! I hope your new husband divorces you and abandons you like the dirty rag that you are!!! Why are you so f.u.c.king lucky?!! d.a.m.n you!!! I spent so much time and effort persuading Long Tengfei to marry me but he married you instead!!! Then after divorcing, you took away a huge chunk of his fortune!!! d.a.m.n it! If only Long Tengfei married me, I could've gotten that fortune after divorcing him!! Then I could've also travelled all around the world, met a Spanish viscount and married him!!! Aaaaggh!!! It should've been me standing there at the international film festival and the one everyone is fawning at!!! I should've been the new viscountess, not you!!!"

Zhu Ning's envy of Wei Lan had long warped her logical reasoning. She always saw Wei Lan's achievements as a direct provocation to her. Even when it had nothing to do with her, Zhu Ning would always think that Wei Lan was deliberately showing off just to spite her. She wanted everything that Wei Lan had for herself.

While Zhu Ning continued to wreck the things inside her house, the atmosphere was cold at the Zheng ancestral residence. As usual, Zheng Suyin's niece ran to her aunt's bedchamber and showed her a recording of the livestream.

Zheng Suyin watched the recording several times. Her hands tightened on the tablet. Her niece s.n.a.t.c.hed it away, afraid that she would destroy another tablet.

"Search if this n.o.ble t.i.tle is real," she instructed her niece.

"I already did. There's not much information available on the internet, but it's a real Spanish t.i.tle that still exists today," her niece replied. "I thought that the old hag only used her connection as Iris Long's mother to attend the international film festival, but it turns out that she's actually a VIP guest! Hmph! So what if she became a viscountess?! It's not like she married a king! Don't worry, Auntie. I'm sure she'll embarra.s.s herself in front of the world at the film festival. She may have a n.o.ble t.i.tle, but she's still the same lowly prost.i.tute on the inside."

Zheng Suyin narrowed her eyes, as she watched the recording once again. Then she nodded. "You're right. She only became a viscountess through marriage. True n.o.bility comes from the blood, not from the clothes. Sooner or later, her husband's eyes will open and see that she's nothing but a s.l.u.t."

Although her tone was calm, fury roiled inside Zheng Suyin. She always saw herself as superior in every way compared to Wei Lan. She had always been proud of her n.o.ble origins. It was something that the homewrecker s.l.u.t would never obtain no matter how many men she slept with. Now, however, Zheng Suyin was filled with unease and envy because Wei Lan's status was now higher than hers. Even though Wei Lan wasn't born into n.o.bility and just got the t.i.tle through marriage, others still recognized it, not like the Zheng and the Long clans' lost n.o.ble legacies.

She wanted Wei Lan to only be known as a social climbing, gold digging homewrecker her whole life. The sin of stealing another woman's husband should remain as a black stain on Wei Lan's reputation.

But what was happening? The s.l.u.t was being respectfully called a "vizcondesa" right now by so many people! They were treating her like a queen. These people were all blind! They should open their eyes and see the s.l.u.t's true nature! Wei Lan was nothing but a chicken pretending to be a phoenix!

Although the recording grated on her nerves, Zheng Suyin watched it several times. She already used her own phone to watch it and sent her niece back to her own room. Zheng Suyin wasn't able to sleep that night at all. She stewed on her hatred instead while imagining countless ways of humiliating and killing Wei Lan.

In another equally ancient place, Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui also watched a recording of the livestream at the Long ancestral residence. It was already way past midnight, but both of them were still wide awake.

They sipped a hot herbal tea fusion at Long Tengfei's study. Iris gifted it to them, saying that it was her new favourite from her endors.e.m.e.nt of Serenity Premium Tea. It was Lin Yehan's newest addition to his tea company.

At the moment, Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui sat on the sofa and watched the big flat screen TV. Originally, they wanted to watch it because of Iris. They wanted to support her first international film festival partic.i.p.ation. Never did they expect that Wei Lan would also appear and attend as a VIP guest while bearing the t.i.tle of a Spanish viscountess.
