His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1592

"What else?" Iris Long asked.

"I mentioned to you earlier that Long Hui wanted to come to the funeral today but Father scolded him," Long Jian said. "I don’t know what Long Hui is planning but it’s making me cautious. You should be cautious, too. Maybe he wants to lower our guards and attack when we least expect it. This isn’t the first time he tried doing that, anyway."

"Maybe," Iris murmured.

Her eyes fell on her godson. Little Jun ran around with the limping Gravy and his energetic new guard puppy, Buster.

Perhaps Long Hui had realized the error of his ways and decided to correct himself from now on. Or perhaps Long Jian was right and Long Hui was just trying to lower their guards and attack them when they least expected it.

No matter what Long Hui planned, it would definitely affect his son, Little Jun.

The child had suffered enough.

Iris and the others couldn’t afford to trigger the little boy’s trauma.

Long Hui better conduct himself properly from now on or they wouldn’t show any mercy.

"Elder Long Jufang also acted so shamelessly," Long Jian complained. "Father and his wife had no plans of taking him here, but he insisted. He even climbed into Father’s vehicle early in the morning just so your tight security wouldn’t kick him away if he came by himself."

"Is that so?" Iris wasn’t really that interested in hearing about Elder Long Jufang.

"As for me, I didn’t want to come because we aren’t close at all. I don’t even know your grandmother-in-law that well. But Father insisted that I come with them today. He said that our relationship has improved a lot and wants to improve it even more. You and our sister, Jinjing, have grown very close since you founded Orchidia. But us? We both know that we’re just using each other for our own goals. But Father doesn’t know that. I’m so annoyed. I still have so many tasks that I need to finish at the company. But don’t get me wrong. I do feel sorry for your loss. I just want to clarify that I didn’t come today specifically for you. I came because Father dragged me here."

Iris chuckled. "I know. You didn’t have to explain. You spoke so many words. Are you testifying in court to prove your innocence?"

He snorted. "I’m being serious, Long Xiulan."

"Fine, fine. You’re serious."

After teasing the man for a while, Iris saw her twins toddling towards them. She waved at them, encouraging them to come.

"Mama!"

"Ma!"

She caught her twin sons. The nannies stayed back but continued to keep an eye on the babies.

Pudding and Chowder, the babies’ German Shepherd guard dogs, went on alert as they approached Long Jian with sharp eyes.

"Whoa, whoa!" Long Jian lifted his legs and shrank in his seat. "No biting! Xiulan, shoo away the dogs! I won’t let you off if they bite me!"

"It’s fine," she tried reassuring him. "They won’t bite unless you want to harm my sons."

"Why would I want to harm your sons?! They’re my nephews!"

"I know. Give me your hand. Let them smell you."

"Liwei," Iris greeted him with a smile upon seeing him approaching them.

Long Jian wanted to stand up but was too scared to carry both of the babies at the same time. What if he dropped them?

"Brother-in-law," he greeted.

"En." Jin Liwei nodded at him.

He didn’t reject the man’s presence at his grandmother’s funeral today. He was aware of the alliance between his wife and Long Jian. As long as Iris didn’t have any problem with Long Jian, then Jin Liwei would remain neutral.

His twin sons also seem to like the man.

Among the Long siblings, Long Jian was the only one who had truly worked his way up from the bottom. He had the best interpersonal skills among Long Tengfei’s children. He got along well with his colleagues, superiors, and subordinates.

He didn’t have the arrogant demeanour of the legitimate children or the timid sense of inferiority of an illegitimate child. He believed that he deserved to be the next head of Long Industries because of his skills, not because of his birthright.

Only against people who looked down on him like Long Hui and the previous Long Xiulan did he exhibit the prickly side of his personality to retaliate against their provocations.

Therefore, Long Jian was actually quite a tactful person. He carefully returned his twin nephews to their parents before excusing himself.

Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow while watching Long Jian leave.

"Am I that scary? He ran away as soon as I came."
