His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1656

"Pa's not coming?" Marjorie Chua-Ferrer asked, popping up from out of nowhere. Beside her was her husband, Paul Ferrer, and their two children.

Reina sighed, clicking her tongue. "That bastard from the main family insisted on having a business meeting today with Yehan and your father, that's why they can't come today."

"That old man has always been so full of himself," Marjorie muttered. "Kids, greet your grandmother and your Aunt Linda."

The two children took their grandmother's and aunt's hands and pressed them against their foreheads.1

"Bless you, my dears," Reina said, pinching her grandchildren's cheeks.

"Where's Auntie Iris and Uncle Liam, Grandma?" Marjorie and Paul's daughter asked. "Are they here yet?"

Reina chuckled. "You're always looking for your Auntie Iris and Uncle Liam first before your actual biological Uncle Dom. Why is that?"

"Because Auntie Iris and Uncle Liam give the best presents ever!" her grandson replied.

The granddaughter added, "Yeah! And also, Uncle Dom always orders me and my brother to get him food! He eats a lot! Our hands always ache whenever we have to bring him food! So heavy!"

Reina laughed, shaking her head. "You two need to behave today. This is an important day for your Auntie Iris and Auntie Linda, okay? Nobody should ruin it for them, do you understand?"

"Okay, Grandma!"

"We understand, Grandma. Don't worry. My brother and I will be very good today."

Paul promised his mother-in-law, "Don't worry, Ma. I'll watch your grandkids like a hawk. They won't bother anyone."

Reina nodded, satisfied. She had already instructed her family members to refer to her only son's bosses as "Iris" and "Liam" in public. It was enough to call them "Xiulan" and "Liwei" in private. They were like family after all. There was no need to provide the public with more reason to dig deeper into their Chua family's close relationship with the billionaire Jin couple.

Good thing that her Chua family had always been united. If Reina and Domingo said to do something, then the rest of their family would follow suit.

The thought of betraying Iris Long and Jin Liwei had never crossed any of their minds. The couple had done too much for their Chua family. Only ingrates would pay the couple with betrayal. Reina and Domingo had never taught their children and grandchildren to be traitors.

Of course, when she said "her" Chua family, it didn't include their distant relatives from the main branch and other branches of the Chuas.

Ever since her son Dominic Chua's connection with Iris Long and her billionaire husband, Jin Liwei, came to light, so many of their so-called "relatives" kept approaching them, hoping for an introduction with the Jin couple.

Reina and Domingo would always brush them off with various reasons. It was only because Lin Yehan had approached her husband that Domingo decided to introduce Lin Yehan to a distant cousin.

This distant cousin was from the main branch of the Chua family. They were the wealthiest among all the Chua branches today. They were also the most arrogant. However, they also had the widest business and political connections in the country.

Hence, despite their arrogance, Domingo still decided to make the introduction between Lin Yehan and the distant cousin.

"Ma, do you think that the old man from the main branch would cheat Yehan?" Marjorie asked in concern.

Before Reina could answer, Paul said, "We don't need to worry about that. Yehan is no pushover. He's a tycoon in his own right. Besides, isn't Liam here as well? If there's something that Yehan can't solve on his own, which I doubt will happen, there's still Liam as his backing. That old man from the main branch might be a bigshot here, but he's nothing in front of a world-class billionaire like Liam. If that old man knows what's good for him, he shouldn't think about cheating Yehan. Besides, Pa trusts his character enough to introduce him to Yehan. Even if he's arrogant, surely he won't be dumb enough to make a powerful enemy."

"That makes sense," Marjorie said, although she was still frowning.

Reina sighed before nodding. "You're right. Your father also said the same thing. I just can't stand the main branch's arrogance. They're not even royalty! Hmph!"

"Calm down, Ma," Linda said, rubbing her mother's back. "Everything's going to be okay. Let's just trust in Pa's judgment."

Linda's assistant interrupted the family's conversation.

"I have to go," Linda said. "The celebrities are starting to arrive. I have to greet them. Dom and I will time it so that Iris and Liam will arrive after these celebrities."

"Save the best for the last, huh?" Marjorie said.

"Of course," Linda said. "Only the best for the big boss."

###

Linda Chua's marketing background came in full force during today's grand launch. Although this was her first time handling a project of this scale, her ambition, professionalism, and work ethic were enough to display her true abilities.

All the TV and radio news programs were talking about Orchidia Philippines' grand launch today.

The influencers, models, and celebrities' social media accounts were filled with Orchidia Philippines.

Orchidia Philippines and its grand launch had been headlining the newspapers and magazines for several days now.

Linda pulled out all the stops to ensure the success of today's grand launch—with Chairman Iris Long's approval, of course.

Small-time and big-name celebrities attended.

Linda also wanted to invite the cast of "Ready, Set, Lunch Party", but those celebrities had strict schedules due to their daily work commitment to the program. If they attended today's Orchidia Philippines' event, they would definitely be late to the noon-time show. Nevertheless, the cast and staff of the "Ready, Set, Lunch Party" still sent several huge flower arrangements to Orchidia Philippines headquarters as congratulations.

After her staff double-checked that all invited guests had arrived, Linda released a huge sigh of relief.

She was initially worried about some of the big-name celebrities who might have bad, diva-like reputations in the industry. What if they came late and disrupted the event?
