"Your Grandma Li is right," Grandpa Lu continued. "I’m not getting any younger. Once I’m gone, Jin Corporation will have to fight tooth and nail to remain in the academy’s exclusive business network. Having you own shares and making you one of the major shareholders is a strategic move for Jin Corporation."
"I understand, Grandpa Lu." Iris Long nodded.
She glanced at her husband. Jin Liwei’s complexion still looked dull. He hadn’t regained the weight he lost yet. It would take ti for everyone’s lives to return to normal after Grandma Li’s passing away, but Iris was determined to nurture her husband back to his optimal health.
"What’s wrong, love?" He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
But before she could reply, Huang Yuyan interrupted.
"I want to know what’s wrong with you, son?" Huang Yuyan demanded.
Jin Liwei appeared confused. He had no idea what his mother was talking about.
Seeing him acting clueless infuriated Huang Yuyan. She marched forward and untangled his arm from Iris’ waist before pulling her daughter-in-law away from her son.
"How dare you cheat on your wife?! Your father and I never raised you to be that way!"
Jin Liwei was stunned by the accusation.
Iris was also shocked. It felt like soone just punched her in the stomach. She gave her husband a look of disbelief.
Understanding what was going on, Jin Chonglin snickered.
Catching him, Huang Yuyan temporarily re-directed her line of fire to her youngest son.
"You, too, Chonglin! Your father and I have always been loyal to each other. I don’t know where you got your womanizing ways!"
Jin Chonglin imdiately beca defensive. "Don’t accuse without evidence, Mom! Yes, I love won but I never commit to more than one woman at the sa ti! When I date around, I never make promises. But when I do, I’ve always stayed committed!"
He looked around, acting paranoid. When he was certain that the door was closed and that nobody was eavesdropping on their conversation, he patted his chest in relief.
"Please don’t make false accusations like that about ever again, Mom. What if my wife hears you? If we break up, it’s going to be all your fault!!!" Your next chapter awaits on .Côm
Huang Yuyan was incensed but her good upbringing stopped her from hitting her child with a slipper.
Jin Liwei, on the other hand, had no such worries. He marched forward and glared down at his younger brother with icy eyes.
"Dare to bla our mother," he said in a voice filled with danger.
"No, Big Bro! I was just joking! Just joking, you hear ?!"
Jin Chonglin backtracked in a hurry. What a joke!
His big brother had ceased to dote on him after marrying Iris Long. Jin Chonglin’s status in the family had long plumted to the bottom since Iris Long entered the family and gave birth to his nephews.
(Jin Chonglin continued to delude himself into thinking wrongly that his older brother had once doted on him before. Jin Liwei had never "doted" on his younger brother. What Jin Chonglin thought of as doting was Jin Liwei rely doing his responsibilities as an elder brother to protect his younger brother. Jin Liwei had always wiped Jin Chonglin’s a** every ti Jin Chonglin left a ss, especially in issues with various won he flirted with who had wanted more from the second master of the Jin family.)
Seeing that her youngest son had been put in his place, Huang Yuyan returned her line of fire back to her eldest son.
"Now tell , son, how could you do that to your wife?! Xiulan has always been the best wife and the best mother to my grandchildren! Why would you father so illegitimate children behind her back?!"
Iris felt like sothing snapped inside her head. Her eyes blazed from fury.
"What?! You fathered illegitimate children behind my back?! Jin Liwei, how could you?! I’ll make you pay if you wronged !!!!"
Jin Liwei truly had no idea what was happening.
He could always deal with his mother, no problem. But now that his wife was involved and was even furious, he needed to be more cautious.
First things first. He needed to know where in the bloody hell his mother got the idea that he had fathered illegitimate children behind his beloved wife’s back.
How co he didn’t know?!
"Love, listen to ," he said in a deliberately calm tone even though he was far from calm on the inside. "Do you think I’m capable of doing such a disgusting thing to you?"
Iris caught herself.
Indeed, her husband had always been trustworthy and loyal to her. Her fury decreased by half, but she still didn’t completely lower her guard. She didn’t think that her mother-in-law would accuse her son without reason, but her husband wouldn’t lie to her about serious things like this either.
Jin Liwei turned to Huang Yuyan. "Mom, can you please explain where you got the idea that I…I cheated on my wife?"
Huang Yuyan continued glaring at him while hugging Iris. Eventually, though, she relented and explained.
It was about the ambiguous part in Grandma Li’s final will and testant about leaving an inheritance for the "other great-grandchildren" who couldn’t be ntioned on paper to protect their privacy.
"Ah, that." Jin Liwei sighed.
Understanding also dawned on Iris.
Jin Chonglin continued to snicker.
"Bahahaha!" Grandpa Lu’s laughter bood in the library, even echoing along the walls.
Iris sent her husband a "help explain" look.
Jin Liwei sighed again.
"It’s fine to tell your mother," Grandpa Lu finally said after the husband and wife didn’t speak for too long. "Yuyan isn’t soone who gossips with others."
Now it was Huang Yuyan’s turn to be confused.
It seed that everyone knew sothing that she didn’t.
Iris gently pulled her mother-in-law to sit down. Then she fished her phone out of her pocket.
"Ketchup, Bacon," she called.
Two cats, a white and a black one, appeared on her phone screen.
Huang Yuyan imdiately smiled.
She knew that her eldest son and daughter-in-law had two additional cats nad Ketchup and Bacon who were afraid of people. They always hid whenever people ca. The two were unlike Ice Cream and Popcorn who knew how to show themselves and even interact with others.
