Dragon Palace Home #10.

The girl squad gathered together at the mansion. It was a rare matching day-off for all of them.

Iris and Dom waited for their friends. Unfortunately, Jin Liwei couldn't join them because he increased his workload, going to work during the weekends in order to be able to take a break near the end of the month.

Clover and Jiang Ying Yue were the first ones to arrive. They came from the penthouse. They brought Little Jun with them who was ecstatic to see his mama, Uncle Dom, and his cat cousins again. Of course, everyone in the mansion were also delighted to see the little guy again.

Next to arrive was an exhausted Meimei who came from the Long ancestral residence. She looked like a zombie. Her webtoon was insanely popular, holding the top position for months now in the rankings. And because it was so popular, she couldn't rest easy and had to work harder to stay on top. If she grew complacent, her webtoon would be kicked off from its top position. Despite this, she didn't want to miss this gathering with her friends.

The last to arrive were Long Jinjing and Chen Fei. The two had been friends with Iris and the others for some time now, so it was inevitable that they would learn about Iris' relationship with Jin Liwei. Needless to say, they were shocked out of their minds when they learned the truth. They met Jin Liwei for the first time during one of the times he picked up Iris, Dom and Clover from Orchidia Beauty. Instead of waiting in the car like he usually did, he decided to waltz inside the company that time.

At first, Long Jinjing and Chen Fei felt very intimidated by Jin Liwei. Like Sir Lu Jianhong, their professors at business school would use Jin Liwei as an example of a successful businessperson during lectures. However, they became more comfortable after interacting with him whenever he was with Iris. Now the two also felt very much at home at the mansion whenever they came over.

The girl squad decided to hang out at the indoor forest. They lounged on the islet in the middle of the koi fish pond. Little Jun was playing with Ice Cream and Popcorn under the fruit trees some distance away from the pond. The nanny and the catsitters watched over them.

On the islet, the girl squad drank tea and ate some pastries and snacks. If an outsider were to observe and describe the group right now, it would be that the girl squad wasn't all girls. There was clearly a man among them. However, he looked very much like he also belonged in the girl squad. Another distinct trait of the group was that they were all very stylish. They each had their own personal fashion styles, but they all looked great despite being different from each other. But perhaps the most noticeable trait of the group was that they all had beautiful skin. Smooth, soft and glowing. The secret? They were all using Orchidia Beauty products, of course!

Even Jiang Ying Yue who didn't use to care much about beautifying herself was now like a changed person. Wei Lan really made it her mission to transform Jiang Ying Yue from the inside and out. Now Jiang Ying Yue felt more attractive and confident about herself. As a result, she and Wei Lan had grown quite close to each other. It came to a point that Wei Lan insisted that Jiang Ying Yue should call her "Auntie".

"Auntie Lan is busy house hunting to prepare for the coming of her husband and possibly her stepson as well," Jiang Ying Yue informed Iris. "She says she didn't want the Viscount to stay at her other properties where she…uh, 'entertained' her past lovers. That's why she's looking for a new place. She's not sure exactly when her husband and stepson will follow her here, though."

Iris nodded. She already knew about it. Wei Lan had asked Jin Liwei for advice about some good real estate properties. He introduced her to one of the best real estate agents in the country.

Wei Lan had been very good ever since she returned to the country and started living at the penthouse. Iris knew that Wei Lan wanted to spend more time with her and Jin Liwei but the two were always busy with work. Not to mention that they moved back to the mansion. Fortunately, there was Jiang Ying Yue to accompany her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Iris and the others were pleased seeing the changes in their friend, Jiang Ying Yue. However, there was something that they were very displeased aboutregarding her. It was her stalled relationship with Long Hui. The two were still officially engaged, but they barely talked to each other. Long Hui still hadn't returned to live with Jiang Ying Yue and their son.

"Hmph! Just break up with him already!" Chen Fei told her in an angry voice. "Such a useless fiancé! Why be in a relationship with a man who doesn't even act committed to you? You're better off without him, I'm telling you!"

Meimei waved a fork threateningly in the air. "If only Uncle Tengfei doesn't treasure everything inside the Long compound, I would've already burned that idiot's residence! Uncle Tengfei is also unhappy with him because he hasn't apologized yet for insulting Xiulan. Gah! Makes me so mad! I already made him into a character in my webtoon, and I plan on having my female lead torture him!"

The others also expressed their dissatisfaction and anger at Long Hui for his treatment of Jiang Ying Yue. Iris wasn't showing much emotion and didn't join in trash-talking Long Hui, but they all knew that she had the most reason to hold a grudge against him for insulting her.

As for Jiang Ying Yue, she listened to her friends in silence. She didn't dare tell them that Long Hui repeatedly made attempts to sleep with her especially after seeing her transformation, but she rejected him because he still didn't want to return to Gold Heights. She still loved him, but the growing distance between them was breaking her heart.

Touching her engagement ring on her finger, Jiang Ying Yue thought about making a decision soon. She looked at her son playing with his cat cousins. Whatever she decided to do, it would certainly affect Little Jun.

Seeing the pain on Jiang Ying Yue's expression, Dom forcefully changed the topic of conversation. Everyone realized what he was doing, so they went along without any complaints.

They started talking about Orchidia Beauty's upcoming launch party at the last day of the month. It would be a grand event. The invitations would be sent out in a couple of days. They didn't want to send them out too early because they wanted to keep information about the company secret for as long as they could.

"This is going to be the party of the year! Everyone will freak out once they learn who are included in the guest list," Meimei said, giggling. Her zombie appearance had improved dramatically just being with her friends.

"It's an expensive party. We have to sell all our products as soon as we launch in order to justify such a grand event," Long Jinjing, the CFO, commented.

"Of course we'll sell them out," Chen Fei, the COO, replied. "We already sold out all our pre-orders. Our products have been trending within the beauty community even before our launch."

Iris nodded. "And don't forget about our surprise tomorrow. I'm sure that afterwards, everyone will want to buy Orchidia Beauty products."

"Oh oh oh! Yes, I can't wait for the surprise tomorrow! We're finally going to reveal our secret weapon!" Clover clapped her hands in excitement.

"Ehehehe. My gorgeous self also can't wait to see our secret weapon in action. I already know it's going to be HOT!" Dom squealed and fanned himself dramatically. "With a secret weapon of such high calibre, it's impossible for Orchidia Beauty's official launch to flop!"

Jiang Ying Yue smiled. "It's going to be successful, for sure."

The mood of the girl squad immediately improved after moving from the topic of Long Hui to Orchidia Beauty's upcoming launch. They were all very excited.

Then Iris' phone suddenly started vibrating. She picked up the call.

"Meow~ Mommy, we have visitors. The guards outside allowed several cars to enter the property. Inside the leading car, Ketchup has detected a figure matching the profile of…

"Lu Zihao, grandson of Grandpa Lu, Daddy's Fifth Brother…and Mommy's Big Brother! Meow~"
