What was even more impressive was that Black Stars Philippines already had their own Slippers Army. They were faster than Black Stars Singapore who didn’t have one yet. The Chinese Slippers Army tested their Filipino counterparts and were shocked.
Holy macaroni!
They discovered that Filipinos were fiercer trolls than them in many ways. Perhaps it was because they had more internet freedom and didn’t need to worry about strict censorship online. The Chinese Slippers Army felt envious of their Filipino counterparts in this aspect. At the same time, they were happy that there was a new strong troll group to defend their Boss Iris in another country.
Like when Black Stars Singapore was first established, CEO Jin Liwei once again added more prizes to the already eye-popping amount of cash and items in the prize pool for his special contest in honour of his wife so that Filipino Black Stars could also join.
This time, however, the deadline wasn’t extended. The Filipino Black Stars had less time to submit their entries to the contest, but surprisingly, they already started pumping out their submissions right away. The quality wasn’t that great but the creativeness and comedic effect were commendable.
Finally, their Boss Iris was posting more updates on all her social media accounts. She was still quite skinny but definitely looked healthier than how she appeared during her video message at the launch of Jin Chonglin’s Prinz men’s line for Orchidia Beauty.
Her latest post was a photo of her eating a big bowl of bulalo and white rice with the following caption:
“Welcome, @BlackStarsPH! I already feel your love and support. I’m looking forward to meeting you someday. Also, big thank you to Auntie @MomsyChua for cooking delectable food to fatten me up and help me recover my health. I’m bingeing on Filipino dishes lately. They’re so delicious! Want some?”
The replies came flooding immediately.
“Wow! That looks good. I want!”
“I love that Boss Iris is posting lots of wholesome photos and updates. So different from the other celebrities who keep on bragging about their branded stuff and mansions.”
“Our Boss Iris doesn’t need to flex her wealth. Just her status alone is already the ultimate flex. Being the wife of a billionaire, how can the other tacky pseudo-rich celebs compare to her?”
“Even without CEO Jin, Boss Iris is already an heiress in her own right! What’s more, she has her successful music career and business, Orchidia Beauty! P.S. When are you stocking up again on the original facial cleanser and moisturizer? I’m close to running out. Please stock up soon!”
The comments quickly became a request page to stock up on Orchidia Beauty products that sold out. Before and after photos of the Black Stars’ own skin also flooded the comments section, bragging about the exciting improvement of their skin and hair after using Orchidia Beauty products.

The rest of Dom’s family members started arriving. Jin Liwei sent one of his private jets to pick them up from the Philippines. Dom and his parents, Domingo and Reina Chua, all went to the airport to welcome them.
The eldest duaghter, Marjorie, her husband and their two children, plus the second daughter, Linda Chua, all arrived together. Then they waited for two more hours at a private airport lounge for their youngest sister, Clover Chua, to arrive in another one of Jin Liwei’s private jets all the way from France.
Now the main Chua family was complete. They all headed to the mansion together. Basically, the ones who came for the holidays last year came again this year.
Like before, some of their relatives wanted to come with them but Reina once again put her foot down and said that if they wanted to go to China, then they should pay for their own airfare.
“Some of our aunties and cousins are grumbling, saying that it’s unfair that we always get special VIP treatment and they don’t,” Linda revealed.
Reina rolled her eyes. “Hmph! Dom already shared a lot of his blessings with our relatives and they still dare to complain? Xiulan and Liwei are already so nice and generous to our family. Our quality of life has improved so much because of the couple’s generosity but this wouldn’t even happen in the first place if not for your brother Dom’s hard work and loyalty.
“Remember that Xiulan is your brother’s boss and best friend and is only treating us this way because of Dom. We can’t take advantage of their kindness. If I learn that any of you are taking advantage of Xiulan and Liwei, see if I don’t twist your ears off! Don’t try me, ha! Your momsy doesn’t mind spanking your butts even when you’re already all adults!”
“Don’t worry, Momsy,” Marjorie said. “We’re not ingrates. You and Popsy raised us well.”
Domingo nodded but still warned his children, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. “Don’t listen to our relatives who keep on asking for more. We’re family with them because we’re blood-related. It’s always good to share our blessings but don’t be afraid to be firm when they’re becoming too shameless.”
“Listen to your popsy. Hmph! I already stopped talking to some of your aunties and uncles. As if I don’t know that they’re gossiping about us behind our backs, saying that we don’t care about them anymore because we’ve become richer for our own good. We don’t need those kind of toxic relatives! Pweh!”
“But some of our relatives are still very good,” Linda murmured.
Clover agreed. “Yes, some of them are genuinely happy for our success and don’t ask for anything at all. I love giving them things because their gratitude is real, unlike those who ask for specific things.”
“True, sistah!” Dom tossed his imaginary long hair. “Life is too short to waste on ungrateful and negative people.”
His whole family nodded, even Marjorie’s young son who was around the same age as Little Jun. He was just mimicking them, though.
Finally, they arrived at Dragon Palace Home #10.
Linda sighed in admiration. “I’ve been here last year but I’m still amazed by this place. It’s like entering a fairy tale world.”
“Well, it’s a billionaire’s world,” Marjorie’s husband, a real estate agent, commented. “Just the commission for selling this kind of property alone is enough to fund not only our retirement but also the college education of our children. Simply awesome.”
