Chapter 893: Business Summit (1)
A week later came the evening of the Business Summit. Nana adjusted the tie on his collar and smiled. “Perfect. As always my son looks so handsome. Go and take all the ladies’ hearts all there~”
Jin cleared his throat. “It’s for business, Mom, not a dating setting.”
“Well who knows. Fate is very mysterious.”
Listening to her, the image of the God of Fate flashed by his mind at the time he accompanied him and Shui on their business trip six years ago.
He was very annoying, his brow twitched.
*Meow*
Nana looked down and beamed at the two cats. “Aww, you look all so groomed and adorable!”
“Wait, they are coming too?” He looked surprised.
“Jun-cute and Ai-chan were following me everywhere today and then I realized that they might want me to groom them for the Summit!” She chirped. “See, they look so royal.”
“…”
“How did you translate their following you around to the fact that they wanted to come too?”
“A mother’s heart understands everything,” she nodded.
“…”
Does the Summit allow pets? He wondered.
“There are no restrictions, I heard.”
“How did you read my mind?”
“A mother’s heart.”
“Sometime, you should teach me this magic too.”
She winked. “It’s a trade secret. Anyway, hurry now. Jun and Ai are waiting for you outside.”
In the living room, Liu Chunhua was squealing over her great-grandson’s cuteness, who looked too handsome in his small business suit.
Liu Hai touched his chin. “He still doesn’t match my charm.”
“Shut up, Hai.”
Ailun brightened as Jin brought the cats and ran up to their side. “They are so cute.”
Ai-chan meowed in response and Jun-cute showed a look of pride.
Of course little human. We are always superior.
Jun chuckled and picked him up in his arms. “Shall we go?”
Ai raised her hands. “I am ready!”
Jinhai kissed Nana’s forehead and sulked. “I will miss you.”
“You are just going to the Summit, Jinhai.”
“But not with you.”
“Don’t be like this. You have to do the important part of introducing Jin as the new CEO. So no sulking.”
Jian made a shoo gesture. “Oof so lovey-dovey.”
Leina and Xing Bi cheered Jin. “All the best, Jin! Take all the spotlight out there~”
Jin’s mouth twitched.
Like I said, it’s just a Summit…
They bade goodbye and immediately, an air of unease settled down.
Nian broke down the silence by saying, “I heard Shui is not coming.”
Xing Bu nodded. “That’s what Nuo told me.”
“Well…”
“But Kang Yuze most probably would be coming,” Jian said. “Then the gossip would start floating from here to there.”
“I am getting worried,” Leina said.
“Let’s just hope that everything turns out to be fine,” Nana nodded, though her gaze looked concerned.
Liu Hai smiled. “Don’t worry too much, daughter-in-law~ No matter how dire the situation is, Liu family men always win in the end. At most what will happen is Jin will realize his mistake of this pointless separation and then happily steal Shui for himself. Which I am hoping he should to keep the pride of the Liu family’s blood within him~”
The twins gave their thumbs up and bobbed their heads as if Liu Hai said the most natural thing in this world.
Nana and everybody – “…”
Let’s just hope that things are peaceful!

The venue of the Summit was filled with all kinds of businessmen and entrepreneurs – all young and old, all experienced and wannabes.
Ai was searching for a familiar face in the crowd and she found it soon enough. She waved her hand eagerly, catching the attention of the two couples, who also returned the same enthusiasm.
“Ai!”
“Chyou! Guiying!”
The three ladies twirled and hugged each other in joy. Chyou grinned. “Just when we were getting bored. And Jin, I finally get to see you!”
She pinched his cheeks hard. “Making me miss you so much, you brat! You have some guts!”
Jin scratched his head. “Sorry.”
“Uncle Jinhai, You look as handsome as ever~ What is the secret?”
“Nana,” he straightforwardly said with an earnest expression.
Guiying choked.
So lovey-dovey! Stay connected with
She coughed and smiled at Jun. “Hey.”
“Hey back. By the way, congratulations on your new book. I heard it’s topping all the charts,” Jun smiled.
“Thank you.”
Zixin shone with pride. “Guiying is very talented.”
“Ziyi, don’t run around. You will hurt yourself!”
From a distance, they saw Yating’s helpless figure chasing after his daughter. He finally caught her and another boy with whom she was messing around.
“Ruwen,” Guiying shook her head. “Didn’t I tell you not to run around?”
“But I saw cake over there Mama!” The five years old boy defended himself with all his might. “And Ziyi was trying to get ahead of me.”
Four years old Ziyi harrumphed, feeling proud. “Anything for food.”
Yating’s brow twitched. He eyed Chyou. “You know she has got that from you, right?”
“Doesn’t that make her so charming~?” Chyou winked.
“…”
“Nice to see you back after a long time, Liu Jin,” Yating greeted Jin.
Zixin nodded too. “Yes.”
“Same here,” Jin replied.
Down below, the kids were having their own confrontation. Ailun snorted. “Brats.”
Ruwen and Ziyi’s faces puffed up with grievances. They launched their very own attack on him by pinching his cheeks. But Ailun showed his line of defense in the form of Ai-chan and Jun-cute. “You won’t get to play with them if you hurt me!”
Jun-cute clearly wasn’t so pleased in being used as a shield.
“Cats…They are so furry and cute!” Ruwen and Ziyi trembled with excitement.
“Yes, yes, and all you kids are melting my heart,” Ai sniffled as she clicked several pictures of the little trio. Ziyi looked adorable in her yellow summer theme dress and Ruwen matched Ailun’s handsomeness in his brown business suit.
“Hey are all you not forgetting meee!?”
They turned and saw Nuo’s zesty figure approaching them quickly. Jinhai beamed at his daughter’s sight. But his expression returned to his original place after seeing Siying, who was following Nuo and carrying Muyang in his arms. Jinhai’s face shone once again seeing his grandson.
Siying lacked the tears to shed.
The usual, huh? He thought.
The only person not to face towards them was Jin, who was suddenly too anxious to turn.
Sis Nuo and Bro Siying are here. Does that mean…
