His Genius Wife is a Superstar

"Yes, Officer," Jiang Ying Yue replied with a smile. She carried her son and gave his little head a gentle rub. "Little Jun, say hello to the Police Auntie and Uncles."

"Heyo, Antee, Anko Powis!" (Hello, Auntie and Uncle Police!)

The four police officers' hearts all melted in an instant upon hearing the adorable toddler's sweet greeting.

"Why did you come here, Little Jun?" Jiang Ying Yue asked her son. "Mommy is still working. I thought you're accompanying your Mama Xiulan in her and your Papa Liwei's bedroom?"

"Mama s-weepy! Anko Dom sshhh!" (Mama is sleeping! Uncle Dom said to be quiet!)

"I see. Yes, you shouldn't disturb your Mama Xiulan when she needs to rest."

The babysitter who was carrying a fat, grey cat finally caught up to the two energetic human and cat cousins. "Miss Ying Yue, sorry for disturbing all of you. The children run so fast. Let me take them to the cat room for a snack and leave you to your business."

"Thank you."

"My pleasure, Miss Ying Yue."

Jiang Ying Yue handed her son to the babysitter. She was on duty right now so she could only wait until her break to spend time with her son especially since they had important guests today—the Chief of Police and the other four officers. Only Jin Liwei's subordinates were visible to the guests, including her, while the Shadow Winds members stationed at the property concealed themselves.

She heard from her Shadow Winds counterparts that the Chief of Police was a very sharp man who truly deserved his position as the force's leader. It seemed that Lu Zihao instructed his subordinates to avoid running into the Chief of Police as much as possible before he fell into coma.

Then the female officer suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, now I remember you!"

Jiang Ying Yue saw the uniformed woman pointing at her. She was taken aback but maintained her neutral expression, not showing her confusion at the officer's claim. She didn't remember ever meeting the female officer before.

"You're the mother of Iris Long's nephew. I remember seeing your face on the news not too long ago."

Oh, so that was she meant. Jiang Ying Yue now understood. Her face was indeed shown in the news not too long ago when her ex, Long Hui, publicly accused her and Lin Yehan of having an affair during their custody battle for their son, Little Jun. Just remembering all of the horrible things that Long Hui said about her in front of so many people made the humiliation, hurt, and anger resurface again. She gritted her teeth and forcefully tamped down on the surging emotions.

"It was you, right?"

Jiang Ying Yue forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes and nodded at the police officer's insistent question.

"I knew it. I heard that the wealthy farmer who had been linked to you is suing Iris Long's older brother but the brother didn't show up in court."

Jiang Ying Yue didn't want to talk about this at all but she didn't want to be rude and tell off the female officer either. After all, they were today's important guests alongside the Chief of Police. Her expression, however, had become less friendly.

Fortunately, one of her colleagues saved her by pretending that their team leader was looking for her so she needed to report immediately. She gave her colleague a grateful look before excusing herself and quickly escaping.

She locked herself inside a powder room and splashed her face with cold water. Although she didn't think that the female officer intended to upset her, she still couldn't help but feel displeased at the sudden uncomfortable questions.

Sighing, she dried her face with a towel and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes appeared shadowed and her whole body was tense.

These past few days had been extra stressful for her.

First of all, she was extremely worried about her pregnant friend Iris who almost had a miscarriage and was now in complete bed rest. She was shocked and horrified when she first heard about it.

Next, Lu Zihao in coma and Bacon not yet waking up from his deep sleep (which wasn't that different from being comatose, in her opinion) also worried her.

Then the fact that Rose Young, the culprit in harming her son's godparents, was still at large due to being rescued by a mysterious group who was on par with Shadow Winds and might possibly attempt to attack Jin Liwei again and maybe Iris as well made Jiang Ying Yue very nervous. Lu Zihao's Shadow Winds members were the most skillful professionals that she had ever met in her life. If the mysterious group was on par with Shadow Winds, then that meant that they were extremely dangerous.

And finally, Lin Yehan's lawsuit against Long Hui was her biggest source of stress. If it only affected her, she didn't think that she would feel this distraught because she already accepted that Long Hui wasn't the same man that she fell in love with before. What was upsetting her the most was the spectators dragging her son at the forefront once again. As a mother, it was extremely painful for her to hear negative things being said about her son.

Fortunately, Jin Liwei and Lin Yehan were doing everything in their power to suppress the lawsuit's exposure to the media in order to protect Little Jun and also Jiang Ying Yue. However, the same couldn't be said to their treatment to Long Hui. They had no intention of helping out Long Hui whenever the media or public opinion were being harsh on him.

The difference between her and Long Hui's social classes meant that there would always be those who believed that she deliberately got herself pregnant with Long Hui's child in order to take advantage of his wealth and status for personal gain. In some people's eyes, she was nothing more than a gold digger and a failed social climber

There were a lot of people criticizing Long Hui's deplorable treatment of her at the moment, but at the end of the day, he was still the recognized heir to the Longs. His reputation might be trash right now but his golden status was still protecting him from total ruin.
