Chapter 1568 Wonderful Genius Wife Who Changed His Life
Later, Iris and the others picked up her mother-in-law, Huang Yuyan, and Alric Bauer from the airport. Then all of them, except Grandpa Lu, headed to a restaurant and ate lunch together.
Huang Yuyan missed her grandsons very much. She insisted on having the twins sit on either side of her.
"Mom, Little Mochi is a messy eater," Iris said. "He'll get your dress dirty."
"I don't mind." Huang Yuyan waved a dismissive hand before smiling at her adorable twin grandsons. "Chonglin was also an extremely messy child. He even ate his own poop when we weren't looking. His nanny almost had a heart attack when she found out. Little Mochi must have inherited his uncle's messiness."
"Pft!" Chen Fei choked and started coughing.
"Sis Fei! Hahaha! Are you okay? Hahahaha!" Dom patted Chen Fei's back but was also laughing at Jin Chonglin's expense.
The others thought that Chen Fei might be upset about her future mother-in-law sharing such an embarrassing story about Jin Chonglin in front of people, but contrary to their expectations, Chen Fei doubled over and laughed along with Dom.
Chen Fei: "Ahahahaha! Chonglin really ate his own poop? Auntie Yuyan, is that true?! Hahahaha!"
Huang Yuyan giggled like a little girl. "Yes, he did. And Xiao Fei, my dear, please call me Mom. Once you and my son marry, you'll be an official part of our family. It's not too early to practice calling me mom."
Chen Fei's cheeks turned crimson. "Okay, Mom."
Huang Yuyan smiled even more, looking so much younger than her actual age. "I'll show you photos of Chonglin as a baby after we return home."
Chen Fei's eyes lit up. "I want to see Chonglin's baby pictures!"
"Okay, Mom will show you."
Iris smiled and glanced at her own husband. She remembered when her mother-in-law also showed her photos of Jin Liwei back then. She enjoyed the experience. In fact, she even asked her mother-in-law for some of her husband's baby albums to store in Dragon Palace Home #10. One day, when their sons were old enough, she would show them what their dad looked like when he was a baby.
She also had baby albums of the original Long Xiulan.
Even though Wei Lan was far from a perfect mother, the woman still had a lot of the original young Long Xiulan's photos taken.
This was because Wei Lan had already planned to push her daughter into show business at such a young age. As a baby, the original Long Xiulan had already become a commercial model for baby products. This continued throughout the original Long Xiulan's entire childhood until she became a teenage pop singer and began to rebel against her own mother's control.
Wei Lan probably figured that childhood photos were important in becoming a celebrity.
First, to prove that her daughter's beauty was all natural—not due to cosmetic surgery and entirely inherited from her own gorgeous mother, Wei Lan.
Second, childhood photos were one way to endear the original Long Xiulan to the fans.
Third, Wei Lan probably wanted to portray herself as a wonderful, caring mother to the public eye. Even though the nannies and household staff were the ones who took almost all the childhood photos of the original Long Xiulan, Wei Lan could always claim that she did all of that.
Unfortunately, due to the original Long Xiulan's unpleasant personality, people still loved to hate her and made up various rumours—each more horrible than the last.
Back to the present, Iris couldn't help but sigh in sympathy for the original Long Xiulan. Due to the parents' emotional neglect, the original Long Xiulan's personality became twisted, offending so many people, and eventually leading to her own demise.
Iris glanced at her own sons. Although everybody kept saying that Little Mochi resembled her Uncle Lin Lin, Iris believed that her son inherited most of the original Long Xiulan's personality.
'I'll raise my children well,' she vowed to herself. 'I'll give them all the love and care that they deserve and more. What the original Long Xiulan experienced, and what I as Evelina Vetrova experienced in my past life, I would never allow my own children to experience.'
Sitting beside her, Jin Liwei keenly noticed his wife's melancholic mood. He wasn't sure what happened but his hand moved on instinct. He grabbed his wife's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, providing her warmth and comfort.
She glanced at him with a grateful smile. The husband and wife had a momentary two-person world while the others around them were all laughing at the discovery that Jin Chonglin, a superstar, had once eaten his own poop as a child.
Chen Fei wiped the tears from her eyes due to too much laughing. "Thanks, Mom. Now I have more ammunition against Chonglin if he dares to upset me again. I'll tell him that I know that he ate his own poop! Hahahaha!"
Huang Yuyan continued giggling like a little girl, not at all sorry for revealing her own son's deepest and darkest childhood secret. "Chonglin only became neater after he entered showbiz. And that's mostly because of Manager Lin Dong who helped manage his personal life as well as managing his showbiz career. Now Chonglin's millions of fans believe that their Prince Lin Lin is the coolest prince charming in the world. I don't think they'll ever believe that he once ate his own poop as a child."
"Pft! Hahahaha! I can't stop laughing. Mom, you must spill more of Chonglin's embarrassing antics as a child."
"Okay, Xiao Fei."
Dom's eyes were also shining in anticipation. He didn't interrupt the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's conversation, but his gossip radar didn't allow him to not listen. This was juicy content!
He shoved more bread in his mouth while listening in rapt attention, once again proving his reputation in the family as a food vacuum.
"By the way, Liwei, where's your grandfather?" Huang Yuyan asked her son after a while.
"In the hotel," Jin Liwei said.
Huang Yuyan waited for her son to elaborate, but as usual, Jin Liwei remained taciturn. She shook her head, sighing, and turned to her daughter-in-law instead.
Iris didn't disappoint and provided more details. "Grandpa Lu still feel
s too tired, so he's resting in his room. We don't force him to go out with us because we want him to relax. The majority of the time when we were in Paris, Grandpa Lu met with a lot of his friends instead of spending time with us. I think he also plans to meet with some of his friends here in Germany. He hasn't been able to take a long vacation ever since the two sets of Jin and Lu twins were born."
Huang Yuyan nodded. "You're right, my dear. Your Grandpa Lu is also getting old now. It's already a wonder that he's still so energetic despite being older than your Grandma Li. Speaking of your Grandma Li, she also wanted to come with me here in Germany to support your Orchidia launch in Europe, but you know that her health has not been the best in recent years. She's getting older now and can't handle too much stress."
"I know, Mom. I already spoke to her on the phone to assure her that it's fine if she can't come. Her health is more important. Rest up for today, Mom. Tomorrow, let's go shopping. We'll buy more souvenirs for Grandma Li."
Huang Yuyan's eyes lit up. "Excellent idea! Oh, it has been a long time since I went shopping here in Munich. I hope we can also go to Berlin. There are a lot of fashionable boutiques there. I plan to buy a lot of new clothes for our Little Mochi and Little Matcha. I'm sure that they'll look more adorable! But it's okay, Xiulan my dear. I know that you're busy. There are still a lot of nice shops here in Munich. Can I also come with you to the Philippines and Singapore for your next Orchidia launches? I have never been to the Philippines before. I also missed shopping in Singapore."
"Sure, Mom," Iris said. "But I have to drop by Cross Academy first to check in with the headmaster after the launch. After I return here to Germany, we'll fly directly to the Philippines."
"Okay, my dear. Just do what you need to do. Don't worry about Mom."
Jin Liwei watched as his wife and mother chatted. He could feel that the two women genuinely treated each other like family. This made him happy and thankful. He also noticed that he had become closer to his family after marrying his wife. His wife had become an undeniable glue bringing all of them closer together.
"Dada!" Little Mochi's call interrupted his thoughts.
"Hm?" Jin Liwei glanced at his son and saw that Little Mochi once again wanted him to wipe his mouth and little hands.
He did, carefully wiping his son's dirty mouth, face, and hands. He knew the feeling because his son inherited this obsession for cleanliness from him.
It was also only after he married his wife that his obsession for cleanliness found an exception—namely, his wife. He didn't mind it when his wife made a mess. The good thing was that she wasn't a messy person to begin with. But whenever she made a mess, he didn't feel disgusted. On the contrary, he even sought to make her messier especially when they were in bed.
In extension, he also didn't mind that his other son, Little Mochi, was a messy baby. Sure, he would scold and discipline the baby for the child's own sake, but Little Mochi's mess didn't really bother him all that much.
This was all due to his wife.
His wonderful genius wife who had changed his life.
