"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 time 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 someone 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 immediately became defensive. "Don’t accuse me without evidence, Mom! Yes, I love women but I never commit to more than one woman at the same time! 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 me 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 novelhall.Co?m

    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 testament about leaving an inheritance for the "other great-grandchildren" who couldn’t be mentioned 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 boomed in the library, even echoing along the walls.

    Iris sent her husband a "help me 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 someone who gossips with others."

    Now it was Huang Yuyan’s turn to be confused.

    It seemed that everyone knew something 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 immediately smiled.

    She knew that her eldest son and daughter-in-law had two additional cats named Ketchup and Bacon who were afraid of people. They always hid whenever people came. The two were unlike Ice Cream and Popcorn who knew how to show themselves and even interact with others.
