    CHAPTER 436


    "Uncle, it is okay. I called for this family reunion not to make you sad but for us to bask in the joy of seeing each other hale and hearty again."


    "I know. Forgive this old uncle of yours," he made some crying noise and began to wipe his eyes clean of the soon toe tears until...


    POW!


    A resounding pnded on his back instantly. He turned around only to see that it was his second older brother that did that.


    "Ouch! Liqin!"


    "That is for trying to ruin such an auspicious asion with your tears. I have told you, Quinyang is gone, lie and bask in the presence and nit in the past. We were lucky, fate brought us her daughter. What more could you have asked for?"


    "For the family to beplete," Lin Jie replied, ignoring the re Lin Liqin gave him. "Don’t hit me, please," he quickly added. Knowing his brother, he could do anything at any time.


    "For Li Jing’s sake, I would not do such. But I want you to understand that we should always be happy and thankful for what we have in this life. You areining that the family is notplete. Would you have wanted Xin and Qi to be here to ruin it with their toxic mouths?"


    He had a point. In as much as Lin Quinyang was not here, they are d that even the toxic ones amongst them did not show face to spoil their happy day.


    "You have a point, bro. Okay, I wouldn’t be sad anymore."


    "That’s the spirit. You know better than to be, cause I would whoop it out of you."


    "Hey, aren’t you too old for all this?" Lin Jie teased. "Li Jing, look, your second grand uncle s bullying me. Do something."


    "Are you not ashamed to be reporting it to young Li Jing?" Lin Liqin sighed, shaking his head at his big baby brother. "Hung, how do you cope with such a big baby? Between him and the twins, who is more of the baby at home?"


    "Thye are all my babies, brother. So let him enjoy it. Besides, he s yourst born, treat nd pamper him as one."


    "Why you... No wonder he is like this, you pamper him too much," Lin Liqin finally came to a conclusion, resigning himself in their matter.


    "If I don’t pamper him, who will?" Her face lit up into another wonderful smile as she stared at her heartthrob, the man of her dreams and the one who gave her joy the most in this life.


    "I love you from the moon and back, ignore your naughty big bro, momma got you."


    "Ignore!"


    "Rx uncle. You know them better than this," Li Jing quickly intervened.


    "s, I am getting too old to be scolding these overgrown babies. Anyway, I would listen to my Jing baby. Now, where is that old man that refuses to listen to me?"


    "Oh, he is being attended to. In the next three minutes, gramps should be right down."


    "That is very good. Honestly, Jing, you are one of the best. I am so d things worked out well for you and you could solve all the issues at home," Lin Hung praised.


    "That is not all, I heard that under my brother’s failing health, some issues began to ur in thepany and within the first week Li Jing returned, she began to fix things in order and right now, thepany is back in good health."


    "If anyone can do it, my Li Jing can," Lin Liqin chipped in, giving her a thumbs up. "We are proud of you, darling. So keep on making us proud. Anything you need at any point in time, just name it, we would rush and be your aid."


    "Thanks, uncles, auntie. It means a lot. Now, I did not invite you all here to think about these things. I want you all to be merry and be in good spirit, how about that? Thest thing I want is for gramps toe down and start hearing such talks."


    By the time she finished talking, everyone was already beaming their smiles at her. She really was a darling.


    "By the way, this is a family reunion, where is that husband of yours?" Lin Hung suddenly voiced out the moment she noticed Ye Cheng wasn’t there.


    "Oh, that...." She scratched her head. How was she going to tell them that till now, Ye Cheng and her grandfather had not yet spoken? And she had waited for him to get his health back first.


    Even both of them had not yet had a one on one talk.


    When he wanted to initiate it, she refused and told him to first focus on his recovery. Today was already making it a week since she threw Hu Qi out of thepany. So she decided to celebrate his quick recovery and hoped that seeing his siblings would make him feel much better.


    "Li Jing..." Lin Hung called out but before she could voice out any more words, a masculine vice announced.


    "Presenting, the Patriarch of the family, Mr Lin Zian!"


    Everyone’s attention instantly was geared towards him where he stood at the top of the staircase.


    Even in his old age, he looked dashing and handsome. He wore a lovely dark blue tuxedo and matching suede blue shoes with a white inner shirt toplement.


    His hair was carefully styled back, bringing back the good old days of how graciously he used to dress. Slowly, his gaze swept through the number of persons present there and when itnded on the one person he wanted to see, a proud smile appeared on his aged face.


    Standing amongst his siblings, was no other than the damsel that came to his rescue, his very own flesh and blood, his granddaughter, Li Jing.


    Seeing his smile, Li Jing replicated one herself. She was happy to see he was in good health. Although still recovering but in doubt, there was big progress and he refused to stay down.. He was a fighter that he was.
