His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Chapter 597 Generosity



Before it was time to go, Jin Chonglin offered to pay for all six patient's medical expenses.

"Thank you, Prince Lin Lin. But there's no need for that," one of his fans said. "Miss Iris Long is already paying for our hospital bills."

"Yes! A-also…the man called M-mr. Xu Tian said that, uhm, Boss Iris and your b-brother, CEO Jin, will be paying us a month's worth of salary to, uhm, aid us because we missed work…" the shy Black Star told him.

"Hey! Ssssh!"

The shy Black Star's eyes widened and covered her mouth.

Jin Chonglin and his entourage, particularly the reporters, looked surprised at the accidental revelation. The reporters started asking the patients to elaborate but they refused to say anything more.

"Did Iris Long's representative tell you not to reveal that she and CEO Jin are helping you financially?" a reporter continued asking.

The patients didn't answer. After a few moments, however, the mall security guard sighed. Then he told everyone, "We weren't 'told' per se. We were 'asked' not to divulge this information because they don't want Miss Long and CEO Jin's generosity to be twisted by all those evil haters who keep on blaming Miss Long for the bomb incident. There would definitely be people who'll say that Miss Long is acting fake and pretentious and using us to make herself look good. For the life of me, I can't understand those kind of jealous bastards and bitches who always try to drag good people down like Miss Long. If she didn't throw that bomb in the air, I'm pretty sure that all six of us here and many others wouldn't just suffer injuries but would've died already."

Seeing him talking encouraged the others to start talking as well.

"Y-yeah! B-boss Iris saved all of us!"

"We don't blame Iris Long for the bomb incident at all. She's also a victim like us. In fact, I think she's the biggest victim of this incident. That scary bomber is an obsessed fan of hers and specifically targeted her. She didn't ask for that. Even so, she still managed to save us and many other people. We're so thankful for her, and yet all these despicable people are blaming her? Ridiculous!"

"We were told that Boss Iris is also injured. I bet that she's traumatized more than us." This Black Star started crying. "She's not responsible for any of us. She already saved us. Despite being injured and traumatized, she still thought about us and sent Sir Dom to visit us and send us so many things, pay our hospital bills, and also pay one month's worth of salary. Who does that? She's already so generous! I bet that CEO Jin only stepped in to help because of her. If boss is not in the picture, CEO Jin wouldn't care. Excuse me, Prince Lin Lin, for talking like this about your brother but I believe that what we're receiving from him right now is because of Boss Iris."

Jin Chonglin didn't reply, only giving a faint nod of understanding.

Behind him, the reporters looked excited. This was big news!

Seeing their expressions, Lin Dong was displeased. He was Jin Chonglin's manager. Naturally, he wanted the reporters to focus on Jin Chonglin alone, not Iris Long. Bright Summit invited the reporters to specifically follow Jin Chonglin today to make him look good. Yet now the reporters looked like they were going to make Iris Long the centre of attention instead of Jin Chonglin.

As for Jin Chonglin, he finally realized something. Iris was being protected like a treasure at Dragon Palace mansion. Although Jin Chonglin was temporarily living there at the moment, he didn't have many opportunities to meet or talk to her because his older brother was guarding her like a stingy evil dragon. Except for their godson and their cats, everyone who wanted to see Iris needed to go through his brother and receive his permission first.

He didn't doubt that Iris was the one who originally wanted to help the injured in the bomb incident. But now that his older brother was involved in it, Jin Chonglin couldn't help but suspect that his brother had an ulterior motive for keeping their generous deeds a "secret". His brother was a powerful man. Jin Chonglin believed that Jin Liwei knew that he was going to visit the injured today, especially now that he was temporarily living at Dragon Palace mansion.

'I think I've been used by my brother.'

That same day, news about Iris Long's secret generosity was reported by the media. It completely overshadowed Jin Chonglin's high-profile personal visit to the injured victims of the bomb incident.

The news reports revealed how Iris Long not only sent plenty of presents but also paid for all of the injured people's medical expenses. Not only that. She also promised to pay those who missed work with one month's worth of salary.

When the news broke out, those who promised not to divulge the information started going forward and revealing that they indeed received generous benefits from Iris Long and CEO Jin Liwei. Many of them were Black Stars. They were relieved that they could finally talk about their boss's generosity, instead of enduring the frustration of hearing the haters constantly criticizing her and blaming her for the bomb incident.

The Black Stars rejoiced and flooded the internet to praise their Boss Iris.

"All hail our Almighty Boss! The epitome of beauty, class, kindness, selflessness and generosity without asking for anything!"

"Take that, haters! You kept on harping about how our Boss Iris doesn't care about us! Tell me a celebrity in this country who would send presents, pay medical bills and one month's salary for all the injured despite being injured and traumatized herself!"

"Bunch of jackasses! Shut up and stay away from our beloved boss! Don't taint her with your jealous black hearts!"

"My mighty slippers will defend Boss Iris until the end of time!"

All the Black Stars felt proud of their Boss Iris. Hearing how much she cared about all of the injured in the bomb incident and how generous she was, they became even more loyal to her. Those who started following ever since her comeback and image change after a two-year hiatus had reached a level of blind faith. They revered her so much that they would now treat everything that came out of her mouth as right and anything opposing her as wrong.

While the general members of the Black Stars were busy lauding and worshipping their Boss Iris, the fan club's former and present officers were talking in their private group chat.

CaptainBlackStar: "Boss Iris has already paid for all the injured medical bills and living expenses for a month. Even Prince Lin Lin didn't have a chance to contribute financially anymore. What are we going to do with all the money we raised?"

LittlePhoenix: "May I know how much we collected?"

MonkeyFace sent a figure.

LittlePhoenix: "!!!"

LittlePhoenix: "(shocked sticker)"

LittlePhoenix: "(soul flying away sticker)"

CaptainBlackStar: "Whoa! It wasn't this much when I checked this morning!"

iEatSlippers: "It's because this Lord of Almighty Diamond-Encrusted Golden Slippers donated today. Oh, and Bro MonkeyFace did, too."

MonkeyFace: "Madam MrsLovePhantom, Madam JJNumber1Fan, Madam JJNumber2Fan and Madam JJNumber3Fan also donated today. There are also quite a number of wealthy Black Stars who contributed a lot."

MrsLovePhantom: "Wealthy or not, many of our fellow members contributed. What we collected are all thanks to everyone."

Her three friends all echoed her.

CaptainBlackStar: "Then what are we going to do with all this money? Boss Iris already took care of everything before we even took action."

LittlePhoenix: "How about we make this our fan club's budget instead?"

CaptainBlackStar: "No, that's just too shady. We collected this money from our comrades because we wanted to help those who were injured in the bomb incident, not to fund our fan club."

LittlePhoenix: "Oh, you're right. Sorry. I didn't think it through."

CaptainBlackStar: "We can return it to everyone…."

LittlePhoenix: "How about we donate to Iris of Hope instead?"

MrsLovePhantom: "My dear child, what a great idea!"

Her three friends agreed.

iEatSlippers: "My almighty slippers approve of your suggestion!"

MonkeyFace: "(nodding monkey sticker)"

CaptainBlackStar: "Nice one. Alright, I'll make an official announcement on our fan club's website that we're donating all the money we collected to Iris of Hope instead."

That evening, another news broke.

"Black Stars Fan Club Donates Half Million RMB to Iris Long's Foundation!"
