His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1639

Thanks to all their children's hard work and filial piety, Reina and Domingo Chua, managed to build a beautiful mansion in an exclusive area of prime real estate. It wasn't the largest or the most expensive compared to the average mansion in the area, but it was enough for their family.

Reina and Domingo welcomed Iris Long as she arrived at their home for the first time.

"I'm so glad you're finally here, Xiulan," Reina said while hugging Iris. "Welcome to the Philippines!"

"Thank you, Auntie Reina." Iris smiled. The sincerity of her words was visible in her eyes. "I'm so happy to be here."

Marjorie was also there with her husband, Paul, and their two children.

Linda was, of course, present as well. She was the one who picked up Iris and her team from the airport.

The Chua family also welcomed Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan.

Everyone was familiar with each other, so there were no awkward moments between them.

Dom sniffed the air and rubbed his flat stomach which gave a loud growl. "I'm so hungry! I can smell my favourite!"

Reina playfully hit her son's back. "All you think about is eat, eat, and eat!"

"Ehehehe. That's because you cook the best, Ma! Love ya~"

She rolled her eyes and shook her head while chuckling before leading Iris to the open-concept kitchen slash dining area.

Her husband, Domingo, also led Lin Yehan and Jiang Ying Yue to their seats at the table.

Iris' glam team, bodyguards, and her entourage members were also welcomed. As there was no space on the table and kitchen counter available, the others all found various places in the living area and even by the staircase.

Dinner was buffet style, so everyone was free to get food as much as they wanted.

Reina and Domingo personally cooked the main dishes. Marjorie also helped by making the local rice cakes for dessert.

Iris, Jiang Ying Yue, Lin Yehan, and the others weren't unfamiliar with the Filipino dishes prepared tonight. They would often taste these foods because the Jins' chefs learned how to cook them. Dom would also often request some Filipino dishes whenever he craved them.

"These taste delicious, Auntie Reina, Uncle Domingo," Iris said.

"Try the rice cakes I made," Marjorie said next. Her eyes were shining. She looked forward to hearing what Iris and the others thought about her cooking.

Iris and the others tasted the different kinds of rice cakes. Unlike the Filipino dishes that they were familiar with, some of these Filipino desserts were something that they had never tasted before.

"This is so good!" Iris exclaimed.

Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan both nodded.

Marjorie grinned. "If you want, I'll give the recipe to Dom so that he can give it to your chefs."

"Will that be alright?" Iris asked.

"Of course. This is the least I can do for all the help you and your husband have given to our whole family."

Iris smiled.

After dinner, everyone chatted with one another. Iris handed the presents she prepared for Marjorie's two children. They had grown up a lot. The children adored their Auntie Xiulan and immediately hugged her after receiving their presents.

Marjorie laughed. "You and Liam spoil my kids too much."

"Not at all," Iris said, shaking her head with a smile on her face. "Your kids are always so sweet. Always respectful to my husband and me."

Paul didn't say anything but there was clear paternal pride in his eyes. Then he paid attention to the conversation on his other side between his father-in-law and Lin Yehan.

"Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to a cousin of mine from the main family," Domingo said before giving Lin Yehan a brief summary of his family's situation with the wealthy main Chua family. "Unfortunately, my own family's connections are not as extensive as the main family's. They're the ones who are well-connected to the elites in this country. They're better at helping to introduce you to the most reputable and reliable agricultural trading companies in the Philippines."

"I understand," Lin Yehan said, his tone gentle. "Thank you very much." He paused before saying, "If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please don't hesitate to let me know."

Domingo smiled, not really agreeing or disagreeing.

"I might still need your help even after you connect me with your cousin," Lin Yehan added.

Domingo raised his eyebrows, a silent question in his expression.

"I'm familiar with you," Lin Yehan said. "Third Brother and Third Sister Xiulan also trust you and your family, so I feel assured about your character. I can't say the same thing about someone who I'll be meeting for the first time tomorrow. Whatever happens tomorrow, I might still need to consult you to make sure that I'm making the right moves in this country."

Domingo nodded. "Sure. Just let me know how I can assist you. No problem at all."

The two raised their glasses of local brandy. Paul joined them while not interrupting their business talk. He only joined the conversation when the topic shifted to his property development company.

Iris and the others were having fun catching up with the Chua family.

She and Jiang Ying Yue excused themselves to call Long Jinjing and ask about their children.
