Chapter 889: Chapter 585: Can’t Smile (Three More)

"If I said that I now want to visit the Jing family to see Mu Lin, the Divine Doctor, would it be inconvenient?" This question was really asking Jing Chen.

With a slight startle, Jing Chen looked at the other person, "You want to go to the Jing family now?" They had just arrived, and he hadn’t even seen the elder yet, so it was unexpected that someone from C Country would want to visit the Jing family first. This was beyond Jing Chen’s expectations.

He had originally thought that, at the earliest, they might visit after they had seen them tomorrow afternoon.

Nodding, the other person chuckled, "Although it’s a bit abrupt, I see that my child can hardly wait to meet your wife. His eagerness has made me quite curious. Just how charming must your wife be to have captured the heart of such an outstanding man like you and also to make my child, who has never been close to anyone, unable to forget her."

To tell the truth, he was very curious.

If possible.

Jing Chen lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I need to ask for instructions from my superiors first. If it’s convenient, I’ll arrange it for you right away." Seeing the other person nod, Jing Chen immediately turned and left.

He sought the elder’s instructions first thing, because this wasn’t a decision he had the authority to make.

The elder was taken aback at first upon hearing Jing Chen’s report, then suddenly laughed.

Linlin’s charm must be quite something! He had been somewhat dizzy with busyness recently, dealing with a bunch of messes and hadn’t even had time to visit after hearing that Mu Lin had given birth to twins for the Jing family. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this chance to visit in the next few days, as a way to change his mood.

With that thought, the elder said to Jing Chen, "You make the arrangements, I will go to the Jing family later too; remember to notify your Grandpa, so as not to startle him."

If he went it might be alright, but the sudden visit to the Jing family by the President of a nation would surely be startling, even for the normally unflappable Elder Jing.

The elder felt a bit of schadenfreude.

Hearing this, Jing Chen nodded, "I will arrange it right away." He sighed inwardly; he indeed needed to promptly inform the household to prepare.

As expected, Elder Jing was somewhat bewildered when he received Jing Chen’s notification.

"What did you say!" The old man suddenly stood up from the couch with a ’whoosh’, scaring Xiaoyue, who was being held by Elder Gong, into starting to cry loudly. Elder Gong hurriedly soothed her, looking at Elder Jing with puzzlement, noting the change in his face.

What could frighten the old in-law so much that he even neglected Xiaoyue?

"I understand. I will prepare accordingly." After a while, Elder Jing nodded, "Don’t worry." He sighed heavily again, not quite sure whether to feel happy or shocked by the situation.

"What’s happening?" Mu Lin, who was helping Gong Rui with her homework, turned to look at the old man. Elder Jing looked at her with a complex expression, "Xiaochen said that Ebel and his group have arrived."

"Oh," Mu Lin nodded, "And then?" She didn’t believe that such a trivial matter could scare the elder of their family.

"Xiaochen also said that they will be coming over shortly."

"They?" Mu Lin raised her brow slightly, wondering if he meant the people from last time.

Taking a deep breath, "’They’, as Xiaochen refers to, means Ebel, his father, and ours." Elder Jing’s expression was a mix of wanting to laugh and not knowing whether he should laugh.

Could he not laugh?

That old buddy, wasn’t he giving people a fright? Coming to the Jing family at this time, didn’t he realize they were entirely unprepared?

However, upon hearing the old man’s words, everyone around was somewhat startled—these were two major figures, the kind that others couldn’t even beg to meet, and they were going to arrive at the Jing family soon?

Compared to them, Mu Lin’s reaction was quite calm. She looked at the old man, patted Gong Rui’s head, stood up, "Then I’ll go get ready." She then turned to Song Qi, "Uncle Song, you should prepare too. I reckon we’ll be in charge of their meals tonight."

That was Mu Lin’s intuition. However, she was happy that Jing Chen could return for dinner; everything else was not important.

"Okay." Song Qi nodded and turned to get busy.

It looked like he’d have to prepare a few dishes and the rice.

He had met the elder before, but this was his first time encountering someone from C Country.

He never imagined he’d personally prepare dinner for them. Could this be considered an honor for him?
