The next morning, Iris and Dom brought Jin Chonglin and Yin ixing to Liberté for rehearsals. Chen Fei ca as well to see how Clover ran the perfury. Tang Yiyi also accompanied Yin ixing.
The twins were left with their father, Jin Liwei. The father and sons went together with Grandpa Lu to visit so of the old man's friends.
These friends were, of course, all powerful people. Most were billionaires like them. Many were Cross Academy alumni like Grandpa Lu.
It was a given that everyone showered Jin Liwei's twin sons with generous gifts upon eting them. Most were material presents like toys and money. But there were more impressive ones like an astronor who declared that he would na the twin stars he recently discovered after the twins—Haoyu and Lingyu.
Jin Liwei was relieved that the astronor chose to use his sons' proper nas and not their nicknas. What would the science community say if they studied the stars nad Mochi and Matcha?
Although he didn't care about what other people thought about himself, he didn't want anyone criticizing his family, especially his wife and their children.
Jin Liwei was like a fish in the water while interacting with these powerful people because he, himself, was one.
His eldest twin son, Little Mochi, was once again showing off to the group of new grandpas and uncles. He loved the attention they were giving him.
As for his other son, Little Matcha wasn't interested in showing off. He went ahead to check the gifts they received from everyone, looking for sothing new that he hadn't yet seen before.
The grandpas and uncles, all of them from different backgrounds and nationalities, imdiately adored the twins. They were well-behaved and didn't throw tantrums at all.
Both Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu enjoyed listening to others praising the twins. They felt proud, especially Grandpa Lu who couldn't stop himself from showing photos of his own blood-related great-grandbabies on his phone to the others.
"If only my Lu great-grandbabies were old enough, I would have brought them for all of you to see! They're so cute and big and sturdy, just like their father when I raised him as a fat baby back in the day. Bahahaha!"
The others humoured the old man and asked about his Lu great-grandsons, making Grandpa Lu more excited.
"You mustn't forget to give presents to my great-grandbabies! You must also na stars after them!"
The astronor sweated after hearing his friend Lu Jianhong's request…no, it was a demand.
A French magnate asked Jin Liwei, "Liam, your wife's launch party for her perfury is tomorrow, right?"
"Yes," Jin Liwei replied while personally wiping drool from Little Mochi's face with a silk handkerchief. "Are you coming?"
"Yes, I received an invitation. Several of your wife's companies are mbers of Cross Academy's exclusive business network. Although I'm not personally an alumnus, my late business partner was, so our company still remains a mber of the academy's business network up to this day. We have to help each other out."
Jin Liwei nodded. "I thank you in my wife's stead. She's busy preparing for the launch tomorrow."
"I can't wait to et your wife in person. Sir Lu has a high opinion of her. Well, even I already have a high opinion of her, especially after learning that she's a Cross Academy student. I have high respect for certified geniuses like her."
Even more than hearing praises for his children, Jin Liwei loved listening to praises about his wife. His usually cold and indifferent expression considerably softened.
The French magnate leaned closer and whispered, "I know that n of our status like to keep…er, females by the side, if you know what I an."
Jin Liwei frowned but the other man didn't notice.
"I also keep a few mistresses now and then, but for you, I suggest that you be more careful. Cross Academy students and alumni are a very tight-knit group. If you offend one of them, you offend all of them. You might love your wife now, but what will happen in the future when the love fades?"
This ti, Jin Liwei's entire expression had turned ugly. Unfortunately, the other man continued to gossip with him in a low voice, unaware of the approaching danger.
"You must have several contingency plans when that happens. Listen to , if Sir Lu Jianhong passes away, Jin Corporation might have to depend on your wife's status to remain in Cross Academy's exclusive business network. Even my company's mbership will have to be reviewed next year because my business partner died. My point is that even when you're tempted to cheat, don't make it too obvious, or you'll suffer a lot. Not only you but your entire company, too. There are too many benefits to remaining in the academy's exclusive business network. Don't f*ck it up—ouch!"
Little Matcha, who had long noticed his father's fury at the Frenchman, threw a solid tal toy car hard. The French magnate imdiately developed a bump on his forehead.
The baby wasn't satisfied yet. He clenched his little hands into fists and prepared to puml the Frenchman, but Jin Liwei quickly carried his son away.
Little Matcha struggled in his father's arms, wanting to beat up the Frenchman. He didn't know what the Frenchman did, but nobody was allowed to upset his father, except for his mother!
"Daddy is fine now, Jin Lingyu," Jin Liwei soothed his son. "Don't be mad anymore."
Jin Liwei had been furious at the French magnate's ugly words just now. He was about to shut up the other man, but after seeing his own son acting so protective of him, his fury cooled down a lot. He even felt amused.
Little Matcha's personality was usually silent and indifferent, but when truly angered, he had a worse temper than his twin brother. Even Little Mochi would sotis feel scared and imdiately stop acting naughty when Little Matcha lost his temper.
Little Matcha was extrely protective of their family just like Jin Liwei. He understood this son of his because Little Matcha resembled him the most.
"What happened?!" Grandpa Lu's voice bood in the room. He pointed at the Frenchman. "What did you do to my great-grandson?! Tell , I want to know!"
