Chapter 1017
He struggled and jumped down from Nina Hua’s arms.
A very generous wave of the hand, “I’ll be the cat, you go hide.”
Ann nodded and turned back to pulling at the little competitor.
“So can my brother play with us?”
This time, Little Lilin didn’t speak.
He just pursed his small lips and looked at the little competitor with a hostile gaze.
After Jenny’s explanation just now, little Jingze had actually somewhat understood that the boy in front of him wasn’t bullying his sister, they were just playing.
However, he has always been a lover of face since he was a child, and is fine in front of his own family, but in front of outsiders, especially if it’s his first time meeting them, he will never admit his mistakes.
So both little children stood there, stubbornly looking at each other, their little faces all red and puffy, but neither one would admit defeat.
Jenny Jing and Nina Hua both couldn’t help but laugh.
In the end, in desperation, this dodgeball is not going to work.
After all, both kids are kind of smart and stubborn and a bit of a tiger, and they’re afraid of playing it wrong.
So it had to be left to the maids to take each of them to some milder little game, like playing bubble wrap or catching a robot or something.
After handing the child over to the maid, Nina Hua took Jenny with him and went upstairs to her bedroom.
“Jenny, I’ve heard about Bella Qiao, they already came over yesterday and called me, stay for dinner later, see if you want to meet them tonight.”
Jenny nodded.
After thinking about it, I asked, “Is the Uncle Chen Shih that you were talking about earlier among today’s guests?”
Nina Hua shook his head.
“No, he’s a distant relative of the Jin family, and he has a business here himself, and this time he’s coming over to give the old lady her birthday, and also to take care of the business here.”
“Today we are only having a family banquet to welcome you, but mainly to let the two old ladies catch up, the real birthday banquet will have to wait until tomorrow night, at that time Uncle Chen Shih should be here.”
Jenny nodded again.
“In that case, there’s no hurry, it’s too late today, tomorrow morning, I’ll see if I’m free, we’ll meet with Bella Qiao and the others first.”
Nina Hua had no opinion.
She pulled Jenny along and sat down on the couch.
First, she looked her up and down before smiling, “Put on a little weight.”
Jenny was so shocked that she turned around to look in the mirror.
“Really?Have you gained a lot of weight?”
She saw herself in the mirror every day, but she didn’t really feel it, mainly because Biden Lu would change her clothes every once in a while, so she never wore her old clothes, so she couldn’t feel any fat or thinness.
But spare a thought, she’s usually strict enough about managing her body.
But I didn’t realize that I was still fat.
Nina Hua saw how nervous she was and smiled.
“Not a lot, just a little bit rounder, but don’t worry, you’re too skinny yourself, you look better with a little meat.”
She said, pulling Jenny back again.
Hearing her say that, Jenny’s heart settled down a little.
Nina Hua asked again, “I heard you’re having another one?How many months?”
Speaking of this, Jenny’s lips fell into a smile.
“Almost four months.”
“So soon?”
Nina Hua’s eyes lit up and stared at her stomach, looking at it and raising his eyebrows in confusion.
“Hey, that’s a bigger belly than usual, have you checked?”
Jenny nodded, “I’ve checked, the doctor said it’s a twin.”
Nina Hua’s eyes immediately brightened even more.
“Twins, huh?It’s wonderful, I envy you.”
Jenny tsked twice, “Why are you envious of me?You want to have it anytime you want, it’s not like Kepler won’t give it to you.”
As soon as this was said, one of Nina Hua’s faces turned red.
She lightly hit Jenny and gushed, “Don’t make fun of me, I’m not thinking of that right now.”
Nina Hua was a lazy and habitual person, one little Lilin, she often got sick of the noise, and then another one, she would be even more sick of it.
Jenny saw the situation and said nothing.
They chatted for a while about recent events until they went down together at dinner time.
Because of the crowds, dinner was naturally lively.
Biden Lu also went to see Kepler in the afternoon, the two men do not know what to say, dinner table, Jenny Jing can clearly feel that Kepler is much more gentle and cheerful than before.
If Kepler was a piece of ice before, now that was a melted ice cube.
It’s sleeker and more thoughtful.
But that’s a good thing.
After all, he was going to take over the Jin family in the future, and in business, no matter how strong you are, sometimes you have to take care of the big picture.
After dinner, Old Mrs. Jin arranged a place for them to stay, and Biden Lu and the others were not polite.
Ann went back to her room to sleep on her own, and little Competeze needed to be coaxed to sleep by Jenny because he was still young.
Jenny just lay next to him and told him a story for a while.
Seeing the child’s head droop little by little, she then set the small pillow down behind him, tucked him in, and turned to walk out gingerly.
As soon as he left the house, he encountered Biden Lu who had returned from somewhere.
With a glass of milk in her hand, Biden Lu saw her coming out of Xiao Jing Ze’s room and asked, “Are you asleep?”
Jenny nodded.
Fearing that he might wake the child here, he pulled him along and went to his room.
She was relieved to be inside the door, and after closing it, she asked, “Where were you?”
“Take a call.”He paused and said, “The people under my hands have found a piece of heavenly jade.”
Jenny was stunned and a little surprised.
“So soon?Where did you find it?”
“A quarry in Shenandoah.”
Speaking of which, Biden Lu seemed a little skeptical.
“Jenny, is there something you find strange?”
Jenny was a bit startled and sat down, “What is it?”
In the meantime, we have been helping Gu Siqian search for the Book of Heaven and the Jade Silk all this way, and although it’s not easy to talk about, it’s actually not as difficult as it could be, according to Nangong Jin’s methods and the Nan Clan’s well-informedness, I don’t think he would be unable to find it himself without us, have you ever thought about why he would fake it since he could find it himself?What if the hand of another person had to force Gu Si Qian to find it?”
Jenny was startled.
Truth be told, the question that Biden Lu posed, she hadn’t really thought about it before.
Yeah, what kind of power are the Nanns?
It was an unfathomable force that even her own uncle, the Zijin family’s side, couldn’t match.
Nangong Jin was such a coup man again, why didn’t he find it himself?
Her brows locked.
Chapter 1018
“This question also came to mind when I was just talking with Kepler.”
Biden Lu’s tone was faint, his fingertips gently turned in circles along the walls of the cup and said in a light voice, “I don’t know if Gu Si Qian and the others have thought of it, but I was just thinking about it and I only felt cold and creepy on my spine.”
If he felt the same way, why did Jenny feel the same way?
Her face changed, and after a long silence, she suddenly stood up.
“I’ll call Georgie and the others right away.”
“There’s no rush.”
Biden Lu, however, stopped her.
“It’s impossible to tell over the phone about such things, but didn’t you have an appointment to meet tomorrow morning?If you have anything to say, we’ll talk more about it after we meet tomorrow morning.”
Jenny thought about it.
Anyway, no matter how much of a hurry it was, it wasn’t going to be a night.
So, she also dispelled the idea of calling Bella Qiao right away, drank the milk brought by Biden Lu, and then washed up and went to sleep.
The next day.
When I woke up in the morning, I found that it was almost nine o’clock.
She’s getting more and more sleepy now as the months get older, and used to get up at 7:30 a.m. at lightning speed, but now she often oversleeps.
But we all know that she is pregnant, very understanding, so they did not wait for her to eat breakfast, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable, but to increase her psychological pressure.
Just have the kitchen warm it up for her, so she can eat it anytime when she wakes up.
Jenny changed her clothes and when she came downstairs, she saw Old Mrs. Jin and Old Mrs. Cen, sitting in the living room again, drinking tea and chatting.
Two old ladies with seemingly endless conversations.
She couldn’t help but smile and walked over to them, greeting them first.
It was only when she learned that the three children were playing in the back garden that she turned to the garden.
I saw a colorful garden where three children were playing games.
I don’t know why, but the two boys who didn’t seem to be dealing with each other yesterday, after just one night, seem to be doing fine today.
Biden Lu came from not far away.
“Awake?”
He looked at the thin clothes on Jenny and frowned, “Why are you wearing so little?”
Jenny came back to his senses and smiled, “It’s not cold.”
She said, turning and walking to the house.
Biden Lu also only had to keep up, “It’s not cold but you have to wear more, it’s almost winter, don’t joke with your body.”
Without missing a beat, I said, and ordered the maid beside me to go and fetch a thick coat.
Jenny saw the situation and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Why do I get the feeling that you’re more whiny than Grandma now.”
Biden Lu glared at her.
“That’s disgusting to me?”
Jenny smiled, “Well, dislike, but also like.”
She said, reaching out to take Biden Lu’s arm and k*ssing it, “Who let you be my husband?”
The man’s face, which was still sinking, immediately became clear when he heard the words.
“That’s more like it.”
The two of them are tired of walking to the restaurant, and halfway there, they encounter Nina Hua and Kepler, slurring their heads at them.
“Those who know say they’ve been married for four or five years, but if you don’t know, you’d think they’re a young couple who just fell in love.”
Jenny angered her with a glance, “Don’t talk about me, you’re not yourself?”
Nina Hua laughed, “Alright, I won’t tease you, I’ll have someone prepare breakfast for you, go eat, we’ll go out together afterwards.”
Jenny nodded.
Breakfast was a special maternity meal prepared for her by Old Mrs. Jin.
Jenny quickly finished her meal, and then she drove out in the car with Biden Lu and the others.
She had contacted Georgie during the meal.
Knowing that they were waiting in a five-star hotel not far from here, Jenny and the others weren’t in a hurry, and they had told their families that they wouldn’t be back for lunch anyway.
The car soon stopped in front of the hotel.
Biden Lu helped her out of the car, and the group walked together to the first floor restaurant where Bella Qiao and the others were now.
In the restaurant, Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian were sitting in a VIP booth, quietly waiting for them.
On one side of the box was a window, the bottom of which faced the front door of the hotel.
Therefore, when Jenny and the others got off the bus, the two of them had actually seen it.
Bella Qiao happy to go out to pick them up, Gu Si Qian helpless, also had to follow out, a group of people after receiving, happily into the box.
A waiter served tea and snacks, and Bella Qiao and they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so naturally they exchanged pleasantries again.
It took a while to get to the point.
“This time, this Chen Shi Bo, I’ve already put together a profile of him and just sent it to you guys, so you can take a look at it.”
Nina Hua said.
A few people then took out their phones and opened their emails to look at them.
After reading it, Gu Si Qian raised his eyebrows.
“In the finance business?”
“Yes.”Nina Hua nodded, “But he’s enjoyed collecting antiques in recent years, this piece of heavenly jade tablet should be the one he collected when the rumors about it came out, but I guess he didn’t know there were twelve pieces of heavenly jade tablet, he always thought there was only one, so when he heard that one piece had been auctioned off in Lin City, he always thought the one he had was fake!, not paying much attention.I didn’t know he had it in his possession until I overheard him talking to the other Siberian that day.”
Kuskan nodded.
Jenny smiled, “In that case, is there any need for us to tell him that the piece he’s holding is real?”
As soon as that was said, several people’s faces turned odd.
The people there were business savvy.
Even Nina Hua, who didn’t know anything about business, had heard a lot about it because her husband’s father and brother were both businessmen.
Naturally, they understood that it was actually best not to tell him that the piece of jade was real.
Then he bought the jade without knowing it, and when the jade arrived, even if he found out about it later from another source, he couldn’t do anything about it.
But people are like that sometimes.
If it really was all about putting profit above all else, maybe they wouldn’t have been able to get their group together.
Thinking this way, Gu Si Qian was silent for a moment.
“I’ll go talk to him, if he’s willing to give up the jade it’s naturally best, if not I’ll think of something else.”
Jenny nodded.
“That’s best, since it’s the Jin family’s uncle, it’s not good to deceive people, I think this matter would be better if Kepler went as a lobbyist, maybe it would be more effective.”
She said, and everyone turned their attention to Kepler.
I saw Kepler holding a cup and was drinking tea.
I looked up at them at the news, but finally nodded.
“Okay, I got it.”
Jenny chanted for a moment, seeing that no one had anything else to say, so he asked the questions that he and Biden Lu had thought of last night.
Chapter 1019
Everyone was stunned when the question was asked.
Obviously, they hadn’t thought about it before that either.
Kuskan frowned tightly.
“Actually, according to you, I did suspect Nangong Jin’s motives before, but after observing him for so long, I couldn’t tell what he was settling for.”
Bella Qiao also locked her eyebrows.
“Then again, it’s not just this one thing that’s a little strange, there’s another thing that I’ve been feeling weird about.”
Jenny asked, “What is it?”
“Si Qian and I have both seen Nangong Jin with our own eyes, he looks, at most, in his thirties, it is reasonable to say that such a person, if he is really amazing and great, it is impossible for him to be so many years without any news at all, but he has controlled the entire Nan Clan without knowing it, even Nangong Yu is humble like a servant in front of him, I really sink toThere’s something incredible about this whole thing.”
That, though, was a moment of contemplation.
Yeah, who’s Belinda Nangong?
To be able to sit in the position of clan chief from such fierce competition, it was obvious that he was by no means a sod.
Why would someone who is not a straw man, who is nearly sixty years old, still willingly bow down to a young man in his thirties, even going so far as to become his puppet and shield?
Everyone was silent for a moment.
In the end, it was Kepler who spoke.
“Either, this man has a special past and can indeed convince Belinda Nangong, or they have something on him.”
However, as soon as the idea was proposed, it was rejected by Biden Lu.
“It’s unlikely, although Nan Gong Yu may look like a straw man, he is by no means a true straw man, and with the allure of the Nan Clan’s patriarch position being so great, it’s impossible for him to actually give up his rights as patriarch for anything, unless a possibility.”
Several people looked at him, “What could possibly be?”
“He’ll die if he doesn’t listen to Nangongjin.”
The crowd was stunned.
Gu Si Qian frowned and said in a deep voice, “Is it because the money strain is in his hands?Didn’t everyone in the South family die if they took that drug?That’s why Nan Gong Yui listened to him so much?”
Biden Lu shook his head.
“I’m not sure, it’s reasonable to say that the Nan Clan has been developing for so many years, and the money strain being their lifeblood, it shouldn’t be so easy for another person to take control.”
He pinched his brow at the thought.
“This matter, I’m just afraid that we still have to look into it, hitting the snake with seven inches, if we don’t find out where this Nangong Jin came from first, we’ll just remain trapped in passivity.”
Kusken nodded, but agreed with him on that.
“I’ll make arrangements for this, and I’ll let you know when I find out the results.”
Several people nodded.
They sat and talked for a while longer until lunch was over, and then they dispersed.
Biden Lu and the others naturally followed Nina Hua and Kepler back to the Jin family.
And since the birthday banquet didn’t start until the evening, it wasn’t convenient for Bella Qiao and the others to go over now, so they made an appointment to go over again in the evening.
8pm.
The birthday feast was held as scheduled.
Because it was a formal banquet, both Jenny and Biden Lu had changed into more grand dresses, and even the two little gnomes had changed into a beautiful outfit.
Naturally, Ann was wearing her favorite little dress, and little Competeze was dressed in a little black tuxedo, which was even cuter against a soft white baggy face.
The Jin family was also one of the largest families on this side of the world, so the night of the banquet was very lively.
Old Mrs. Jin, dressed in a dark red tang suit, sat there with a smiling face and hale spirit, but she was very happy.
She met all the people who came to celebrate her birthday.
Kepler and Jin Qingshan, as her sons and grandsons, naturally accompanied the side to follow along with the guests.
Rather, Nina Hua, since she didn’t have to worry about her family’s affairs, she was able to chat with Jenny when she was free.
About 8:30, almost all the guests that were supposed to be here had arrived.
Old Mrs. Jin was finally able to go back to rest, after all, is old, just sitting for a while body has been a little unbearable.
So Jin Qingshan asked Kepler to stay behind to deal with the guests, and helped the old lady to walk to the back lounge.
Kepler searched through the crowd and finally found where Nina Hua was and came over.
At this time, Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian also came.
Although they had never had much of a relationship with the Jin family, they were all figures in the upper class circles, and since they had come to celebrate their birthday, the old lady naturally wouldn’t drive anyone outside.
Besides, when the Chinese Club was in trouble before, the old lady had no longer cared about things, but she had heard about it, as if her own grandson had interfered.
Since he was Sun Tzu’s friend, it was natural to entertain him.
Therefore, before the old lady left, she greeted Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao on purpose.
The two of them were naturally respectful, and when they had sent the old lady away, only then did they join Kepler and the others and walk to a more secluded corner beside her.
“I’ve just greeted Uncle Chen and told him to meet us in the lounge on the first floor, so I’ll take you there now.”
Kepler said.
Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao both nodded.
“Please.”
Nina Hua smiled, “It’s no trouble, except I haven’t told him why you’re looking for him yet, so you can tell him yourselves later.”
Bella Qiao nodded.
A few people made it all the way to the first floor, and Biden Lu and Jenny Jing naturally followed.
Pushing open the lounge door, I saw that there was indeed a middle-aged man of about fifty sitting there.
Seeing them come in, the middle-aged man was stunned at first, probably not expecting so many people to come at once.
But in the end, he was used to seeing the limelight at the mall, he quickly calmed down, stood up and smiled, “You guys are here, take a seat.”
I said, turning my gaze around on both Gu Si Qian and Biden Lu.
Gu Siqian himself was rather low-key, and although his men also held vast assets, he rarely made personal appearances in the business world.
That’s different for Biden Lu.
He’s a clear-cut Lu’s president, but who doesn’t know him from those who know him better in the mall?
Thus, as soon as Uncle Chen Shih saw him, his eyes lit up.
“This is Mr. Lu, right?Pleasure to meet you.”
He said, stepping forward and shaking hands with Biden Lu.
Biden Lu faint smile, Kepler and introduced him to Gu Si Qian Bella Qiao as well as Jenny, Chen Shi Bo have met one by one, the attitude is also quite friendly.
After the introductions, we all sat down together.
As Uncle Chen sipped his tea, he smiled and said, “Just now, the nephew said that he had something to discuss with me, I wonder what it is?”
Kepler said in a deep voice, “There is indeed something, I’m afraid that this matter will only require the help of Shi Bo Chen to cut his love, specifically, let Si Qian talk to you.”
