Chapter 1008 - Most Loyal Friend
The women sat down in the living room while the young man gave Jenny Tseng a chilled can of orange juice. Both Rose Young and Jin Jiali who came to the apartment unit earlier than Jenny already had their own opened cans.
"Sorry, I don't have tea here," he said in a sheepish tone.
"Don't worry about it. I'll gift you some high-quality tea leaves, so how about you go on a date with me?" Jenny winked at him.
"Jenny! Stop flirting with my cousin!"
"Oh, come on, Rosie! I'm just admiring a handsome man. There's nothing wrong with going on a date. It's not like I'm asking him to marry me."
The young man blushed again.
"Look at him. He's so cute! Ahahahaha! I still didn't get your name. Come on, tell me. Don't be shy. Your beautiful and sexy Big Sister Jenny won't eat you up, I promise. At least not yet."
"My English name isLuke. Big Sister Rose and I are maternal cousins."
"Hi, Luke! Come here and sit beside me."
Before Luke could react, Jenny had already pulled him down to sit beside her on the couch. All of his exposed skin turned red, causing her to laugh even more merrily.
She hugged his arm and pushed her big, fake boobs against him. Then she glanced at her scowling best friend and the curious Jin Jiali. "So Rosie, why did you call us in this pitifully tiny apartment?"
"Sorry that it's so tiny," Luke said in a small voice. "My family isn't rich like Big Sister Rose's maternal family. I'm renting this place on my own because it's near my university."
"Oh, Luke. Don't worry. Your new Big Sister Jenny isn't looking down on you! How about I sponsor your entire schooling and find you a better apartment? What do you think?"
"Jenny, stop it! My cousin isn't a beggar. He has me, his blood-related cousin, to help him!"
Jenny leaned her head on Luke's shoulder. "If you're really helping your cousin, why is he still staying in this place then? You even asked ME, the one and only Jenny Tseng, one of the most iconic Singaporean socialites of this generation, to come in such a squalid area! Can't we just meet in your condo or somewhere nicer? You even invited a teenager! What if some thugs attacked Jiali while coming here? What were you thinking, Rosie?"
"Thugs rarely come here," Luke mumbled.
"Just shut it, Jenny," Rose Young said, sighing. "I haven't really met any of my maternal relatives since I came to the country. That's why it's only now that I learned about my cousin's situation. And I asked you to come here because there are paparazzi camping outside my condo to ambush me ever since thoseillegally recorded private videos of me were spread on the internet. Even the tabloids started attacking me. This place should be safer since not a lot of people know that Luke is my cousin. I was sneaking out of my condo when Jia'er called me to offer moral support. She wanted to meet me so I decided to just bring her along."
Jin Jiali stomped her foot. "Hmph! I bet that it's that bitch Iris Long who caused you to be humiliated in the media like this, Big Sis Rose! Previously, the tabloids were criticizing Iris Long for making Elder Brother Liwei fire you because of her jealousy. And then the next day, those shameful videos of you were spread all over the internet and the tabloids suddenly changed their aim to you. It's just too coincidental! How can she ruin your reputation like this? She's so despicable!"
Rose clenched her hand hard, causing her nails to dig into her palms. Indeed, she agreed with Jin Jiali. It must be Iris Long who caused all the troubles she was facing right now.
"Well, you have to admit that you were really wild and naughty in those videos, Rosie," Jenny interrupted, laughing. "Even I'm impressed by your libido. What's your secret? Are you taking some special supplements or something? Quick, tell your bestie. Don't be shy. Ahahaha!"
Both Luke and Jin Jiali turned red at her frankness.
"Shut up, Jenny."
"Ahahaha! You're still such a bitch, Rosie. I really feel confused why I'm still friends with you."
Jin Jiali tried to interject. "Miss Tseng"
"Call me Big Sister Jenny."
"Big Sister Jenny, please don't call Big Sis Rose a bitch. It's Iris Long, that man-stealer, who's the real bitch here, not Big Sis Rose."
"Ahahaha! Girl, do you even know the definition of man-stealer? In the first place, Jin Liwei has never been Rosie's man, so how could Iris Long steal him away from her? It's actually Rosie who's in the wrong here because she's lusting after another woman's man. Oh, woe to me! Even though I know it's wrong, but since Rosie is my bestie, I have to support her no matter what. This is what a best friend is supposed to do. I'm ready to help her with anything. Oh, she's so lucky to have me!"
Rose's expression was now extremely ugly. She was trying so hard to control her anger and to restrain herself from slapping her friend's cosmetically-enhanced face.
It was at times like this that she often wondered how she became best friends with such an annoying person like Jenny Tseng. But she already knew the answer.
Jenny Tseng was the most loyal friend. She was the type of person who could make one's blood boil in anger by her careless words and superficial, condescending actions but would still help a friend bury a corpse without hesitation.
This was why Rose Young tolerated this annoying best friend of hers. She couldn't find anyone who was more loyal to her than Jenny Tseng.
She sighed and massaged her temples. "Just please stop for now. Okay, Jenny?"
"Alrighty, Rosie~"
After calming down, Rose looked at everyone with a serious expression. "You all know that the situation I'm in right now is the worst. I need your help. Will you help me?"
Jenny rolled her eyes. "Rosie, do you even need to ask me that question?"
"Big Sis Rose, I'll help! Just tell me what to do!"
"You're my cousin. Of course, I'll help you."
