Chapter 1508 Apology Gifts
Iris Long didn't know that someone tried instigating her husband to cheat on her behind her back.
Jin Liwei had asked Grandpa Lu in advance not to reveal it because he wanted to be the one to say it to his own wife. Grandpa Lu grumbled for a bit before agreeing.
Iris only learned about the incident later that afternoon when the French magnate sent his own butler to their residence and presented her with several beautifully packaged boxes and a sealed envelope addressed to her.
"What's going on?" she asked her husband.
Jin Liwei didn't reply right away. He looked at the gifts with a cold expression, but in the end, he told his wife, "Open the letter first and see what it says."
Iris observed his expression but couldn't guess what happened. So she opened the sealed envelope.
It read:
"Dearest Madame Jin,
"I would like to express my deepest apologies for offending your husband, your younger twin son, and in doing so, offending you as well."
Iris read this part and frowned. "What happened?"
"Just continue reading it, love."
So she continued reading.
"I must admit that my ignorance and utter disregard of your husband's loyalty to you and your marriage landed me in this quagmire."
Iris raised an eyebrow and glanced at her husband. She was now beginning to have an idea why both her husband and Grandpa Lu had arrived home earlier with ugly expressions. So something really did happen while they went out together.
She continued reading the letter.
"I do hope that Madame Jin would find it in your heart to forgive me for my transgressions and still allow me to attend your perfumery's launch party tomorrow. I swear upon my name that I would never do anything to offend you, Mr. Jin, and your family ever again.
"I pray that you and Mr. Jin would give me another chance to prove my sincerity."
Iris finished reading the letter and felt complicated. Along with the letter, the French magnate sent them many gifts of apology.
Most were jewelry for her. There were also presents for the twins, and of course, Jin Liwei. But compared to the mother and sons, Jin Liwei received less.
However, this also meant that the Frenchman knew how to apologize. He targeted Jin Liwei's weakness which was his wife and kids. He directly addressed the apology letter to Iris instead of Jin Liwei who the Frenchman apparently offended.
"Should I return all of these?" she asked her husband.
"Keep them," Jin Liwei said. "Doesn't matter if you use them or not. Just accept the apology. We can use him for Liberté's smoother development here in France."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Iris told the French magnate's butler that she accepted his master's apology.
The butler gave them a respectful bow before leaving to report to his master, the French magnate.
Iris faced her husband. "Now tell me exactly what happened. I want to know every little detail."
Jin Liwei told her everything, not keeping anything from her.
"What?! Little Matcha injured the man with a toy car?!"
"Love, our son is just very protective," he said, trying to calm her down. "He tried to defend me."
She sighed. "I know that. And I'm proud of him for being protective. But his temper…" She released another sigh, heavier this time. "Little Matcha might look exactly like you and inherited most of your personality, but his vindictiveness is definitely a Vetrov trait. We must guide him carefully, Liwei. I don't want his vindictive personality to become too extreme. It won't be good for our baby's future."
Jin Liwei finally realized why she reacted so alarmed. And indeed, she was right. Little Matcha's vindictiveness was like Nikolai and Bacon's. If not guided properly, then it would be detrimental to Little Matcha's personality development.
"En. Don't worry, love. We'll guide him and all our children properly."
He continued telling her about the rest of the incident. When he reached the part where Little Mochi gave an impromptu performance in an attempt to distract his twin brother, Iris laughed.
"Where's the video? I want to see."
Jin Liwei was now smiling, too. "I have it here. Grandpa Lu got it from a new tech billionaire who smartly recorded our son's performance while the rest of us were distracted."
The husband and wife laughed and enjoyed watching their eldest twin son's adorable performance.
"He's definitely imitating my 'Passionate Flames' stage performance with your brother," Iris commented with a laugh. "Look. These are my moves and these ones are Brother Chonglin's. Little Mochi is just a baby, but he can already remember some dance steps. Isn't our son amazing, darling?"
"Of course." Jin Liwei kissed her cheek. "The mom is an amazing genius, so of course the son is also amazing."
Iris' cheeks turned pink. She giggled and leaned on his chest. The couple watched their son's performance video a few more times, not getting tired of it at all.
Iris sent Little Mochi's performance video to their family's group chat.
As expected, enthusiastic praises once again flooded the chat with Grandpa Lu claiming credit for taking the video, although he wasn't the one who recorded it. Well, technically, he was the one who asked the nerdy billionaire to send him the video, so yes, he still had the right to take credit for it.
Later, Iris asked Dom and some of the French household staff to organize the French magnate's apology gifts.
"Boss, there's something in this box," Dom said.
Iris took it. It was a thin box, almost like a wooden folder. She opened it. Inside was a property deed for a castle in the Western part of France. It was now titled to her, Long Xiulan.
Iris Long gasped. "What in the world?! Liwei, take a look at this!"
Jin Liwei studied it.
"We can't take this," she said.
He shrugged. "It's part of his apology. Just take it."
She hesitated and examined the property deed again.
"It's a good location," he commented.
She sighed. "I really profited today."
He kissed her forehead. "It's what you deserve. That man made a terrible mistake. He should pay for it."
