Later that night, Rose Young arrived ho at her condo unit after Jenny Tseng’s driver dropped her off from the bar. The two friends were drunk but not completely wasted. They were able to hold back, as both still had work the next morning.
She was about to sleep when her phone started ringing. At first, she ignored it but it rang again. It kept on ringing.
"Who the fuck are you?!" she roared.
Despite her irritation at being disturbed so late at night, she still checked her phone. It was her father. Her irritation imdiately disappeared.
"Hello, dad?" she slurred.
A few seconds of silence.
"You’re drunk?" her father, Roo Young, asked. Disapproval was clear in his voice.
"I only drank a little, dad. Don’t worry. And I was with Jenny. We’re both adults now."
Roo Young only harrumphed and didn’t comnt about her drunk state anymore. He imdiately went straight to the reason of his call.
"The hacker I talked to said that his group couldn’t trace KittyBaby’s identity. The person behind that account is very careful," he said.
"That hacker sucks, dad. Can’t even do sothing so simple."
She was looking forward to learning about the person behind KittyBaby, but it turned out that the hacker her father contacted was useless.
"You shut your mouth!" Roo Young’s angry voice shouted at her on the phone.
Rose Young’s eyes widened, shocked at her father’s fury. She didn’t understand why he would be so mad at her for telling the truth. The hacker couldn’t trace a simple anonymous account. Wasn’t that incompetence, especially for a hacker?
She could hear her father trying to calm himself on the other end of the line by taking a few deep breaths. A few monts later, he spoke again.
"Don’t ever say that again. Do you hear ? You can anger anyone, including , but don’t ever anger those hackers."
"Huh?"
The drunk Rose Young didn’t understand why her father sounded so paranoid.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore," he said in a calr tone. "We have to focus on your mission there. Your mother and I spent so much ti, effort and resources in order to get you the CMO position. But look at your current situation! I’m very disappointed by your lack of progress!"
Rose Young’s expression imdiately soured.
Her father continued, "That move you made with Jenny Tseng was so stupid! You graduated from a world-class Ivy League university but you acted like a dumb teenage girl! Use your brains!"
"Dad...I know already. You don’t have to rub salt in my wounds," she said through gritted teeth.
"You need to do sothing about your current situation or all the effort our family, the Youngs, and your mother’s family made for you will be for naught. We are all counting on you to beco the next Madam Jin. Your mother and I already made things easier for you by getting you promoted directly to an executive position instead of following the regular route of starting from the bottom at the main headquarters," he told her.
Rose Young’s mind wasn’t very clear because of her drunkenness. Despite this, she still forced herself to focus on what her father was saying.
"Yes, dad. I know. I’m grateful for your help and mom’s. I just...things just went out of my control. I’m in a tight spot right now. Big Brother Liwei refuses to talk to . Even when so of the uncles and aunties from the Jin branch families who are also mbers of the board of directors complained directly to him, he didn’t budge. He warned them instead to not give any special treatnt." Then her face scrunched up and she burst into tears. "Daaad! I love Big Brother Liwei so much but he’s ignoring !! It hurts so much!!!"
Her father sighed softly, as he let her cry. When her sobs eased a bit, he spoke in a gentle voice.
"You always told your mother and I that marrying Jin Liwei is your dream. Who said that dreams are achieved so easily? You have to work hard and fight for it," he told her. "You’re a strong and smart woman, and most importantly, you’re Roo Young’s daughter. We, the Youngs, never accept defeat. We always fight to be on top. If Jin Liwei doesn’t love you, then you’ll just have to make him fall for you regardless of the thod."
Rose Young wiped her tears and blew her nose with a tissue. Her father’s advice was calming her down.
"Yes, dad. I understand. My dream is to beco Jin Liwei’s wife and the next Madam Jin. I’ll achieve it no matter the cost."
Roo Young made a sound of approval. "If you beco Madam Jin, all of us Youngs will instantly beco one of the top families in Singapore. At the mont, we’re only known as the caretakers of Jin Corporation’s Singapore branch. But if you marry Jin Liwei, we’ll beco one family with the Jins connected by marriage. Not to ntion that your children, who’ll have the Young blood in their veins, will stand in the line of succession to inherit Jin Corporation after Jin Liwei. Then wouldn’t that make us, the Youngs, the next power to lead Jin Corporation? We wouldn’t have to satisfy ourselves with a re branch anymore. We’ll have the entire company!"
"Yes, dad." Rose Young said with a faint smile on her drunken face.
Although what she wanted the most was the man, Jin Liwei himself, it would be a lie to say that she didn’t covet the position and accompanying wealth of the title Madam Jin. Not only would she lift her own status but also her entire family’s—both the Youngs in Singapore and her mother’s side of the family in China.
Roo Young changed the topic of their conversation.
"I already asked a few experts to help us investigate who Jin Liwei’s fiancée is. You should also continue asking around there. Jin Liwei must have placed her in tight protection because we can’t even get any leads about her real identity. Sotis I’m starting to think that he’s just faking it and there’s no real fiancée," he said.
Rose Young released a sigh of regret. "How I wish that there isn’t a fiancée. But I’ve talked to the slut on the phone and my female intuition tells that she wasn’t faking it when she claid to be Big Brother Liwei’s fiancée. I bet she was even fucking him when I called! I could tell by their voices. That slut!"
Then she started whining to her father. "Why is Big Brother Liwei fucking that slut, dad? It should be ! I’m the one he should be fucking! I don’t want him to fuck that slut anymore or fuck other ones! He’s mine! Dad, I want Big Brother Liwei to fuck sobad!!!"
Roo Young almost choked on his own tongue, as he started violently coughing after hearing what his own daughter just said.
"Dad? Hello, dad? Are you okay?" she asked, slurring once again.
"Y-you’re drunk," was all he could say after his violent coughing stopped.
Indeed, Rose Young felt drunker. All her inhibitions were thrown out of the window, even when talking to her own father.
Before she could start mindlessly talking about "fucking" once again, Roo Young imdiately diverted her attention from the explicit topic.
"We should find out who his fiancée is. It would be better if we know her identity before Jin Liwei introduces her to the public. The earlier we know, the sooner we can get rid of her."
Rose Young started a round of drunken giggling. "We’re going to get rid of her? Yes, yes. We should get rid of her."
"Don’t worry about that woman anymore. Just focus on your mission of seducing Jin Liwei," he advised his daughter. "No matter who that woman is, she’s still a nobody. Our family has the strongest support. If Jin Liwei is really smart, he should be choosing you and cooperate with us or he’ll have to face against one of the most dangerous powers in the world."
The drunk Rose Young didn’t understand what her father was talking about. "Huh, what? Strongest support? Who?"
"Don’t ask too many questions. Just do what you need to do, alright?"
By this ti, she was already feeling sleepy.
"Alright... Dad, I promise you...I’ll marry Big Brother Liwei...and beco Madam Jin...and then..." She giggled. "And then I’ll fuck him very hard. Harder than how that slut fucks him."
Her eyes closed and she fell asleep, dreaming about doing just that with Jin Liwei.
