Chapter 1475 Presents for the Children
Chapter 1475 Presents for the Children
The next day, Jiang Ying Yue was true to her word. She asked Iris' lawyer, Atty. Hong Shaoqiang, to help draft a new visitation agreement for Long Hui.
When Long Hui received it at his office at Long Industries, he took a pen from his assistant and immediately signed it without any complaints. After sending the special courier away, he wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to his assistant.
He instructed, "Open a bank account for my son and deposit this amount every month. Give extra for special occasions like birthdays. Get a supplementary card and send it to the child's mother. Tell her that it's my son's child support."
Although Long Hui had already been giving child support before this, doing this now would make it more official. Now that it had come to this point, he would follow the arrangement down to the last exact word. He didn't want to provide Jiang Ying Yue with any ammunition to bar him from seeing their son.
There was also no hope for the two of them anymore. She was now married to another man. He saw her pure, unadulterated hatred toward him yesterday.
If not for him swallowing his pride and kneeling in front of her yesterday, then he would've already lost his chance to be a father to their son.
Perhaps this was for the best.
"Any other instructions, sir?" his assistant asked.
He brought back his thoughts to the present. "Buy some toys and gifts that my son might like."
"Understood, sir."
Long Hui hesitated before adding, "Also buy some toys for my nephews. Four of them—the Jin twins and the Lu twins."
"Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right away."
He nodded. His assistant was about to leave to do his bidding but he called him back.
"Yes, sir?"
"Did…did my sister come to the office today?" he asked.
The assistant blinked a few times before realizing who he was talking about. "Oh, Deputy CMO Long?"
"Yes."
"I'm not sure, sir. But I'll check it for you."
"Alright, go." Long Hui waved him away.
About ten minutes later, his assistant called him on the phone.
"Sir, Deputy CMO Long didn't come to the office today," his assistant reported. "I heard that the CMO gave her special permission to work from home for a few days after hearing about what happened to her nephew, er, your son, sir."
Long Hui took a few deep breaths to calm himself. "Okay, got it. Go do your tasks."
"Yes, sir."
The call ended. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long Hui stood up and gazed at the concrete skyline of the business district from his office's glass windows.
How come Iris got special permission to work from home but he didn't?
He was the father. She was only the aunt.
Granted, Little Jun was recuperating in her home, but it still felt unfair to him.
Everything felt unfair.
Now, however, he just felt exhausted.
The usual hatred he usually felt for Iris had now been transferred to his ex-wife, Mao Qiuyue, and former in-laws. If not for the Maos, then his son wouldn't have been kidnapped and tortured.
"Mao Qiuyue!" He hissed, his eyes filled with burning hatred. "You and your equally despicable family better not show yourselves in front of me, or I swear I'll send you to hell myself!"

Later that day, Iris and Jin Liwei looked at each other as the butler handed them two big wrapped boxes addressed to their twins. The sender was Long Hui.
The butler mentioned that Long Hui also sent a bigger present to his son, Little Jun.
"Leave it here, thank you," Iris said.
The butler bowed before leaving.
Before they could decide what to do with the presents, Iris' phone rang. It was Long Jinjing.
"Did Big Brother Hui send presents to your twins?" Long Jinjing asked.
Iris raised an eyebrow. "Yes, he did. Your twins got presents from him, too?"
"Yes. Zihao almost threw them into the trash but I stopped him in time. What did he get for Little Mochi and Little Matcha? I opened the ones he sent to my sons and they're mostly cute toys and clothes. Little Misha is now sucking on a stuffed panda. Little Dima doesn't look very interested in any of them, though."
"We haven't opened the presents yet," Iris said.
A few seconds pause.
Then Long Jinjing said, "Xiulan, I think our eldest brother is starting to change for the better. I heard what happened yesterday from Dom and Meimei. If he can kneel and humble himself like that, then maybe—"
"Big Sister," Iris interrupted. "I know what you're trying to say. Whether he changes or not is up to him. I'll only believe his actions, not his promises. If he can change for the better, then good! I'll be so happy for Little Jun. It's as simple as that."
Another pause.
"Alright, Xiulan," Long Jinjing finally said with a sigh. "I'll talk to you again later. It's time for me to feed your nephews."
The two women bid each other goodbye and ended the phone call.
"Should we open the presents?" Jin Liwei asked.
Iris thought about it for a couple of seconds. "Sure. Let our sons open their presents by themselves."
Jin Liwei carried the presents while they headed to the nursery together.
Little Mochi got very excited when his parents told him that an uncle gave him and his twin brother presents. He didn't know which uncle his parents were talking about, but it didn't matter. He had a lot of uncles who doted on him anyway. He would just thank all of them when they came to visit next time.
"Yah yah yah!" He couldn't contain his excitement.
Little Matcha, on the other hand, was less excited. He still showed interest but wasn't as showy about it as his twin brother.
The two of them first worked together on opening the first box. When they finally tore off the wrapper, they checked the contents one by one. Little Mochi squealed with delight as he shook a toy robot, but Little Matcha pulled him to open the second box before he could forget.
Iris and Jin Liwei laughed at their twins' antics.
