Jin Family’s Old House.
For the first time since the successive scandals with the Fan family rocked the entire nation, the main members of the Jin family gathered together. Actually the rest was just waiting for Jin Liwei to come.
Jin Chonglin had been staying at the old house ever since Fan Luo’s crimes were exposed to the public. He moved back because his own place was surrounded by reporters. The old house was more secure and safe.
While waiting for her eldest son to arrive, Huang Yuyan was very nervous. She paced back and forth, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.
Jin Chonglin sighed watching his mother. "Mom, don’t be so nervous. Big Bro won’t eat you or anything like that."
"I know that, son. But your big brother can be scary sometimes, you know. Just like your grandfather." She then cast a glance at her mother-in-law who was reading a classic book of poetry near the fireplace.
"Hmm. Indeed, our Liwei takes after my dear husband, your grandfather," Grandma Li said without taking her eyes off the book she was reading.
Shrugging, Jin Chonglin put on his headphones and started bopping to the beat of the music.
Moments later, Grandma Li’s assistant appeared and informed them, "Master Liwei has arrived."
"Oh!" Huang Yuyan paled and became even more nervous.

"Yuyan, get a hold of yourself," Grandma Li snapped at her. "Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you’re acting so afraid of your own son? I know that you’re feeling guilty but you don’t need to act so afraid. He’s your son, for goodness’ sake! Didn’t you say that you want to become strong?"
"I...I’m sorry, Mother."
"Aaw, Grandma. Don’t be so hard on Mom. She’s trying her best." Jin Chonglin came to his mother’s defense.
Grandma Li shot him a glare. "Stop coddling your mother."
"Come on, Grandma. Don’t be angry at Mom anymore." Jin Chonglin went to hug his grandmother and sweet talked her.
Even someone like Grandma Li was defenseless against her own grandson’s oozing charm. She glared at him, but her expression already softened.
Finally, Jin Liwei appeared carrying a fat grey cat in his arms. An orange cat was also perched on his shoulder. Two people followed behind him carrying cat stuff. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"What in the world?!" Jin Chonglin exclaimed. "Big Bro, are you alright? I think maybe you should take a break from work or something. Too much stress is not good, you know. Stress can make even the sanest person a little bonkers. I’m also taking a break right now. Why don’t you take one, too?"
Jin Liwei looked at him without saying anything, and then decided to ignore him. He turned to his grandmother and mother instead, greeting them.
"Grandmother, Mother, I want you to meet the children of Xiulan and I. The grey one is Ice Cream and the orange...I mean the ginger one is Popcorn," he introduced the kittens with a straight face.

"Pft!" Jin Chonglin couldn’t take it anymore. He doubled over and started laughing, clutching his stomach.
Grandma Li’s mouth twitched, but she was able to maintain a calm expression unlike her second grandson who was already tearing up from laughing so hard.
"Oh~ They’re so cute~" Huang Yuyan gushed and extended her arms, trying to get the kittens’ attention.
Ice Cream just stared at her, but Popcorn leaped from Jin Liwei’s shoulder into her arms.
"Mother, that’s Popcorn, your grandson," Jin Liwei told her in a serious tone. "This is Ice Cream, your granddaughter. She’s a little shy, especially to people she hasn’t met before. She needs to get used to you first before she’ll let you hold her."
"Oh, Big Bro... I can’t... This is too much..." Jin Chonglin tried to suppress his laughter but failed.
Huang Yuyan smiled. Her anxiety from earlier already dissipated because of the kittens and her eldest son’s unexpected cuteness.
Everyone sat down and chatted. Jin Chonglin began playing with the kittens together with their cat sitters. Surprisingly, Ice Cream liked Jin Chonglin right away, leaving her Daddy’s lap to join the play.
Huang Yuyan gathered her courage and sat beside her eldest son. She grabbed his hand and held it tightly. Her eyes watered.
Jin Liwei frowned seeing his mother about to cry but he stayed silent and waited for her to speak first.

"Son... I’m so sorry. I’m such a bad mother. I shouldn’t have blamed you for...for...distancing our family from the Fans. It’s all my fault. Everything is my fault! I was the one who let them enter our family and lives." She burst into tears.
"Mother, please don’t cry," Jin Liwei told her.
