His Genius Wife is a Superstar

In a rather quiet upper middleclass neighbourhood, Jin Jiali was holed up in her bedroom. Even though it had already been a few months since they moved to this place, her resentment against Iris Long continued to fester in her heart and grow into hatred.

Iris Long was the reason why Jin Liwei kicked Jin Jiali's family out of the Jin clan and why the old man Lu Jianhong forced out her father Jin Chenggong from his esteemed position at Jin Corporation's board of directors. If it weren't for the bitch Iris Long, Jin Jiali and her family wouldn't have experienced such a disgraceful downfall from high society.

Although Jin Jiali and her family still had a lot of money compared to the average family, their extravagant spending habits remained the same when they were still very rich, so their money was dwindling quickly. Soon after being kicked out of the clan, they had to downsize and move to this smaller house in a neighbourhood filled with people beneath their previous social level.

They thought their current house was small but it was actually one of the biggest homes in the neighbourhood. It just couldn't compare to their previous mansion. They also had to sell their other properties because they lost a lot of assets when her father was removed from Jin Corporation's board of directors. Partners began to distance themselves from Jin Chenggong, afraid of making Jin Liwei and Sir Lu Jianhong unhappy.

This was why Jin Jiali couldn't accept her family's current situation. Her bedroom in this house was so tiny compared to her previous bedroom suite in the mansion. They were poorer now but their whole family refused to admit it and continued to act like bigshots like before. As a result, nobody really befriended them in this new neighbourhood. They didn't care, though, because those people weren't on the same level as them anyway.

At the moment, Jin Jiali was lying on her bed while staring at her phone screen. She was anxiously waiting for Jenny Tseng's update about her Big Sis Rose Young's plan at the hotel tonight. Jin Jiali wanted to participate but they decided not to allow her because of her young age. She was already eighteen but she still looked very much like a young teenager. Her young age would be very conspicuous if she loitered in a hotel at night.

"This is so frustrating! I want to see the action with my own eyes!" She tossed the phone—still no reply from Jenny Tseng or Rose Young—and rolled on the bed before starting to punch her pillow in frustration.

After venting a bit, she made a decision. "I'm going to the hotel tonight! I don't care what anybody says!" [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

She changed her clothes and put on a coat in a hurry before sneaking downstairs, planning to steal her father's car key to drive herself to the hotel. When she was passing down the home office, however, she overheard her father talking inside. She stopped because she heard the name Rose. Pressing her ear on the door, she eavesdropped on her father's phone conversation. It turned out that he was speaking with Romeo Young.

"What did you say?! Rose did what? Brother Romeo, I don't believe that you don't agree with me that your daughter's plan is ridiculous. Jin Liwei is not an easy man to target. If he were that easy, I would've already gotten my revenge against him for causing my family's downfall. His security is almost comparable to important officials in the nation. And according to my observations, his security has improved even more in the last few months. I don't know where he got those new bodyguards but they're no joke, I'm telling you. Some even look like cold-blooded assassins based on their appearances and auras alone."

Jin Jiali pressed her ear closer to the door, trying to hear the conversation more clearly. She was frowning at her father's obvious disapproval of Big Sis Rose's plan. Why? What was wrong with it? She thought that it was quite good. She couldn't think of a better plan than it, to be honest.

"Jia'er, what in the world are you doing there?"

Jin Jiali screamed from shock.

Then her mother also screamed because of her shocked scream.

The door to the home office banged opened and an alarmed Jin Chenggong marched out roaring. "What the hell happened?!"

"Dad, mom scared me!" Jin Jiali pressed her hand over her thundering heart.

"You're the one who scared me!" her mother retorted, mirroring her actions.

"You two!" Jin Chenggong glared at them.

"Brother Chenggong, what's happening over there?" Romeo Young's faint voice asked through the phone.

Jin Chenggong immediately returned to the phone conversation and assured the other man that everything was fine. Then he continued to glare at his wife and daughter before gesturing that he had an important phone call so they shouldn't disturb him.

"Dad, wait!"

"What is it?" Jin Chenggong asked in an impatient tone.

"I know all about Big Sis Rose's plan tonight," Jin Jiali said.

He was taken aback at first before feeling suspicious. "How do you know about it? This is serious, Jia'er. Don't joke around."

"I'm serious, dad. I met with Big Sis Rose and her friend Big Sister Jenny Tseng earlier this week and heard all about their plan. I wanted to participate tonight but they eventually told me not to because I look too young."

Her mother looked between the father and daughter before wisely not saying anything. She didn't understand what was going on anyway.

It seemed that Romeo Young heard what Jin Jiali said because he told Jin Chenggong, "I want to talk to Jiali."

Jin Chenggong handed the phone to her.

"Hello, Uncle Romeo?"

"Tell me what you know about your Big Sister Rose's plan tonight."

Jin Jiali was hesitant but Jin Chenggong gestured her to cooperate. "Are you going to stop Big Sis Rose?"

"No, I'm not."

"Really?"

"Really. I'm going to send help to her and hopefully your father will also agree to provide assistance as well because he's the one who's there while I'm still here in Singapore. I'm going to make sure that my daughter won't get into trouble no matter what happens tonight. So tell me everything you know about her plan, Jiali."

She felt relieved. "Okay, Uncle Romeo."

Then she told him everything.
