Chapter 735 - Long Hui’s Reques
Jiang Ying Yue told them that Long Hui video-called to talk to his son, Little Jun, because he was going to leave to the north in a few days and would be staying there until the year was over. He would only be returning next year.
"Hui…Long Hui said that he heard that the signal at the place where he'll be staying is terrible so he might not be able to call our son as often as he wants."
Iris nodded because she already knew about it. Long Jian told her during the Long Industries' party that part of Long Hui's punishment was to send him to a tiny, rural branch up north. What with Jin Liwei's accident and learning about her pregnancy, Long Hui had slipped out of her mind these past few days. But he just had to pop up right now and cause her blood to boil.
"The spineless scoundrel!" Chen Fei mock-punched her other hand's palm while her face contorted in anger. "How dare he upset our dear Little Jun and cause our baby boy to have a tantrum? I'm gonna kick that man's balls the next time I see that son of a bitch."
"But Eldest Brother Hui is Little Jun's father," Long Jinjing whispered in a sad voice. "He has every right to talk to his own son."
"I'll never deprive Hui…Long Hui of his rights as my son's father," Jiang Ying Yue said. "Even if our relationship didn't work out in the end, I know that he loves our son very much. I'll never stop him from forging a close relationship with our son as long as he doesn't take Little Jun away from me. That's where I draw the line."
"Tell us exactly what happened," Jin Liwei said while wrapping an arm around Iris' shoulders to keep her calm because he could already sense her currently oversensitive emotions starting to destabilize again with the mere mention of Long Hui's name.
Jiang Ying Yue nodded and started telling them the details of what happened when Long Hui called. The two of them didn't speak much to each other, except for when talking about their son. They had been cold to one another. Jiang Ying Yue's role was mostly holding the phone for Little Jun so that the father and son could chat with each other.
"Thankfully, Long Hui didn't make any trouble or harassed me. He just focused on talking to our son. It was just that Little Jun is still very young with limited vocabulary so their talk wasn't about anything substantial. The two of them just mostly looked and smiled at each other."
Everyone relaxed a little after hearing that Long Hui didn't deliberately cause any trouble. Iris and Jin Liwei especially felt relieved because they had personal grudge against him."While Little Jun was distracted playing with a toy, Long Hui asked if he could see our son before he leaves for the north," Jiang Ying Yue said.
Iris narrowed her eyes and Jin Liwei had to tighten his arm around her, silently telling her to calm down. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"How did you respond, Big Sis Yue?" Dom asked.
"Did you agree?" Meimei asked next.
"I told him that he's free to visit our son anytime. I won't stop him. But he must come either here at Dragon Palace or we'll arrange something at Gold Heights condo."
Chen Fei asked, "And? How did that son of a bitch respond?"
Long Jinjing grimaced. "Xiao Fei, could you tone your words down a bit?"
"Fine, whatever. I'm already used to you always being kind to others anyway, especially to your Long relatives even though most of them bullied you one way or another." Chen Fei threw a meaningful leer at Iris when she said this.
Iris raised an eyebrow but didn't respond. She wasn't the least bit affected by Chen Fei's insinuation because it wasn't actually her who bullied Long Jinjing in the past. It was the original owner of the body, not her.
"Let the past stay in the past, okay?" Meimei interrupted. "Xiulan and Jinjing's relationship is great now. Very great! There's no need to dwell on what happened in the past. Besides, aren't we talking about Big Sis Yue's matter right now? I want to know how she responded to Big Brother Hui's request. I don't want any more interruptions from any of you. Big Sis Yue, the stage is yours again."Jiang Ying Yue smiled at her before continuing to speak. "Long Hui wasn't happy. I'm assuming that he doesn't want to step foot anywhere near Xiulan and Sir Liwei's territories. He wants to change the place of meeting but I refused. It's only here at Dragon Palace and Gold Heights that I feel comfortable letting him see our son. These two places are filled with people I trust and if something bad happens again like last time, I'm sure that my colleagues will be able to react more quickly and remove my son from the situation."
Jin Liwei nodded in approval. "I had my subordinates undergo extra training after that mess involving the three of you inside your Gold Heights unit. That will never happen again but in the off chance that it does, my subordinates will know how to react more quickly and handle it more effectively than the last time."
"Thank you, sir. I personally know how hard the training here is especially after joining your security team. It's many times harder than what I experienced in bodyguard academy."
"Actually, the new training regimen wasn't supposed to be that hard," Jin Liwei said in a wry tone. "The difficulty level increased so much only after Fifth Brother Zihao and his subordinates came and started staying here. I heard that watching his subordinates train ignited my subordinates' competitive spirit, so they requested to adapt some of Fifth Brother's unique training methods."
Dom fanned himself dramatically with his hands. "That's why Big Brother Boss' body became so big and so hot and so sexy! His training is insane! Ah, be still my maiden heart!"
"I know, right?" Meimei said next, her zombie-like eyes lighting up with life. "Those muscles are so yummylicious!"
