1007 Come Out on Top

A pink sports car drove to the underground parking lot of an old apartment building. The car door opened upwards and one super high-heeled boot stepped down on the cement followed by another. Out came a big-breasted woman with a tall nose and plump lips wearing branded clothing from head to toe. Her eyes were covered with cat-eye, mirrored sunglasses even though it was evening.

She closed the car door and pulled down her sunglasses until it rested on the bridge of her surgically enhanced nose. Then she looked around the dingy parking lot filled with “low-end” vehicles. Many of them were dusty. She pursed her plump, red lips injected with fillers as she glanced at her pink sports car. Her car was definitely the most eye-catching vehicle here. She estimated that the combined worth of all the vehicles in this parking lot wouldn’t be able to compare to the eye-popping price of her own sports car.

“What if someone steals my car?” Then her eyes—surgically enhanced, of course—lit up. “Oh, right. I can just buy a new one! This hot pink shade is so last season. Coral pink is all the rage these days. Come, car thieves! Help yourselves. Ahahaha! Oops, gotta go~”

Then she strutted away from her so-last-season hot pink sports car and walked towards the elevator, making sure to sway her hips from side to side. The way she walked made her feel like a supermodel strutting on the catwalk, but in other people’s eyes, she somewhat looked like a waddling duck. Along the way, she fished out her crystal-encrusted phone from her limited edition crocodile hide bag before calling her best friend.

“Rosie dear, the queen has arrived in the building! I’m in the underground parking lot. Which floor do I press on the elevator again?”

After the short call, the woman followed her friend’s instructions and arrived where she was supposed to go. The door opened and a thin guy who looked like a college student in his early twenties stuck his head out.

“Are you Miss Jenny Tseng?” he asked.

Jenny flipped her perfectly blow-dried, voluminous, ash-blonde hair and gave the young guy a flirty smile and a wink. “Hello there~ Yes, I am indeed the one and the only Jenny Tseng. You can call me Beauty or Sexy. Either one is fine but you can also call me both. You’re pretty cute yourself. What’s your name? Can I get your number?”

A female voice yelled from the inside of the apartment unit, “Jenny, don’t you dare target my young cousin! You’ve already divorced twice! Come inside quickly!”

“F-flirting….” The young man turned crimson as he opened the door wider to let Jenny in.

Jenny removed her sunglasses as she stepped inside and came closer to the blushing guy. “Oooooh~ A shy one, aren’t you? So cute! Rawr! Ahahaha!”

“JENNY TSENG!!!”

She rolled her eyes before yelling back. “Coming, Rosie! Stop being such a bitch! Ugh!” The she returned her attention to the young man and offered her perfectly manicured hand.

The guy looked at the hand in confusion.

She wiggled her fingers. “Escort me inside.”

“Oh.” He blushed harder but still took her hand awkwardly and led her to the small living room.

“What took you so long?” Rose Young grumbled on the couch. Sitting beside her was a pretty teenage girl.

Jenny handed her bag to the young man and removed her mink fur coat. She handed the coat to him and took back her bag before walking to her best friend. The two friends exchanged air kisses and a light hug.

“I always tell you stop acting like a bitch, Rosie. Being negative all the time makes you look older! Look at those horrible dark circles and big eye bags! We must go have a facial tomorrow! Oh, let’s have your cute cousin accompany us!” Jenny didn’t wait for Rose Young to reply before turning her attention to the unfamiliar teenager. “And this is?”

The teenager stepped forward and introduced herself. “Hello, Miss Tseng. My name is Jin Jiali. I’m Elder Brother Liwei and Big Brother Chonglin’s younger cousin.”

“Oh!” Jenny leaned closer and studied the teenager’s face carefully. “So that’s why you look somewhat familiar. You resemble Jin Chonglin a little bit.”

Jin Jiali smiled. “Yes, many people tell me that.”

“So why are you here, Jiali? You’re close with Rosie?”

“Yes! I look up to Big Sis Rose. She’s the best role model ever. I want to be like her and become a successful career woman. I’ve always wanted her to marry Elder Brother Liwei and become an official part of our Jin family, but that bitch Iris Long just had to steal him! Did you know that because of that hateful woman, Elder Brother Liwei made Old Sir Lu fire my dad from Jin Corporation’s board of directors and disowned our entire branch family from the clan?! Argh! Just thinking about it makes me so mad. I hate Iris long so much! She’s the reason why our branch family is suffering right now!”

“There, there.” Rose Young patted the teenager’s back and stroked her hair. “Don’t get too angry, Jia’er. You’re still young. As long as you work hard and focus on achieving your ambitions, you’ll be able to reverse you family’s bad fortune someday.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“But Big Sis Rose, you’re in a worse position than my family right now. Elder Brother Liwei fired you and those…uhm, videos are still spreading everywhere right now.”

Rose Young’s expression turned ugly, causing Jin Jiali to flinch and step back from her.

“S-sorry. I didn’t mean to…please don’t get mad at me, Big Sis,” the teenager mumbled.

Rose Young took a few deep breaths and forced herself to smile. “Don’t worry. Your big sister will survive this and come out on top in the end.”

“Well, that’s true,” Jenny interrupted the conversation as she sat on the couch and crossed her legs. “There are plenty of world-famous celebrities abroad who became known because of sex tapes and then ended up building super successful careers afterwards. Rosie is a smart girl, so I’m sure that she can capitalize on her sex videos and come out stronger in the end. Am I right?”

“Shut up, Jenny.” Rose glared at her.

“Oh, don’t be so mean to your own bestie, Rosie. Ahahaha!”
