Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 407 The Unlimited Food Festival Plan
Liu villa.
It was the tenth time that Nana sighed, which made Nuo question her mother. "Mom, if you sigh like this, Dad will be very sad. You know that he cannot bear to see your beautiful face marred with lines."
She pursed her lips. "What should I do, Nuo? I still feel restless after Shui's banquet. Jun was so angry...not just at Gu Yating but also towards Ai. It's not sitting well with me. I don't want them to fight."
"Then call him."
"I did. He said that everything is fine, though he might be hiding things too. How should I know if he is telling the truth?" She harrumphed. "That boy makes me worry sometimes."
Jin was quiet at that. He was lost in his own thoughts as he silently ate his food. Suddenly, a hand came in and grabbed a piece of egg roll from his plate.
Jian was pleased and sat on the opposite side beside Nian as he gobbled up the egg roll with satisfaction. "What are you all talking about?"
Nana smacked on his head. "How many times have I told you not to steal food!"
"I was hungryyy."
Jin looked at him with disdain. But he ignored him and the three other clowns who were eating food as if they were going to die tomorrow.
Jing kicked Liu Hai's chair away. "Stay away from my plate, you stinky old man!"
Liu Hai exclaimed. "Shut up you stinky son!"
Nian was busy grinning ear to ear as he munched on his food while simultaneously texting Xing Bi.
Nana pressed her lips again. "You should say something! Here I am worried about Jun and Ai, and you are all busy gobbling food! Food is not going anywhere," she scolded them.
The gang of four paused and pouted their lips. Then they shrugged and resumed eating again.
"You all..."
Jian waved his hand. "He will be fine, Mom."
"Yes, yes, my granddaughter-in-law is super smart. She will handle it all."
Nian sheepishly grinned. "My Xing Bi is also super smart."
Jing was in deep thought, which was quite novel of him considering that he was eating food. "I don't think I have properly met Zhou Ai yet..."
Nuo sneered. "It's because you are either busy with food or busy with Uncle Yukito. I am amazed you even know about her existence."
"..."
"That's so mean, my dear niece!" He cried.
Nana grumbled with complaint to herself. Jin glanced at her and sighed. He held her hand and assured her. "Mom, if Bro is saying he is fine, then he is really fine. He won't lie to you. He cannot lie anyway. He is like an open book. I am sure everything must be fine between them."
Nian grinned. "Aiyo, my little brother has changed so much. You hated Ai so much before but now you support them so wholeheartedly...Big brother is very happy!"
Jin shot him a displeased stare. "You should stop overeating, Bro or don't complain later on when Xing Bi refuses to have an oversized husband like you in the future."
"..."
"Liu Jin, do you hate me!? For your kind information, I work out a lot and burn all my excess calories. Don't curse my future with Xing Bi!"
Nuo and Jing burst into laughter.
"What is the occasion behind this laughter?" Jun asked as he stepped in.
Nana widened her eyes and felt extremely delighted to see her son. "Jun!"
She gave him a warm hug and then scrutinized him with a squinted stare.
Jun smiled and pinched her cheek. "Like I said on the phone, I am fine."
"Are you sure? Don't you dare lie to me."
"I won't dare," he pressed his lips, feeling guilty. "I am sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to make any ruckus after the banquet, but I couldn't help it. Nevertheless, it was my fault...I am sorry for making everybody worried." f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
Nana patted his head. "Don't worry about it. As long as everything is fine between you and Ai...I don't want to see my children sad."
Nuo nodded hard.
Jian said, "See? I told you. Everything will be fine. You were getting anxious over nothing~"
Nana grinned and made him sit on the chair beside Jin. "Since you are here already, go ahead and dig in."
The troublesome gang of four wasn't so thrilled. "What? You mean we have to share?"
Nana glared at them, making them shut up.
Jun rolled his eyes. "You know you all should be at the unlimited food festival to stuff your bottomless stomachs. Just eat, eat and eat without a care in the world."
The four froze and their ears sharply perked up towards him.
Liu Hai narrowed his eyes. "What food festival?"
"What unlimited?"
"What eat, eat and eat?"
"What is this heaven you are talking about?" They fired back to back questions at him.
He shrugged. "I just saw a flier about an unlimited buffet near the outskirts of the city. Kind of a festival today."
Then he went silent and continued eating his food.
Liu Hai gritted his teeth. "Don't assume silence! Start talking!"
Jun stared at them. "I already did."
"Tell us in detail!" They exclaimed. "Where is this festival gonna be held?"
"What kind of food will be there?"
"Can we really eat unlimited there?"
Jun grimaced. "What do I know? I just glanced at the flier once."
Jing cursed him. "Idiot! You should concentrate on these things! This is important."
"An unlimited food festival?" He asked back.
"Yes!!!!" The four screamed in unison.
"Yeah I think you are confusing me in your bottomless stomachs group to care about a food festival," he snorted. "Go find it yourself if you are so interested."
The four of them sprung on their feet and scrambled outside.
"Damn Jun said that it's today!"
"What if it's only for one day!?" f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
"We cannot miss this!"
"Nuo, handle Natsukashi for me," Jian hurriedly ordered. "Your brother has a mission to accomplish!"
"Natsukashi Bakery will be closed today!" Nian exclaimed.
Jing joined in. "Do hell with my fashion project!"
Liu Hai coughed. "I was supposed to watch a movie together with Chunhua...But I am sorry my dearest! I cannot ignore this sacred summoning or I will always have regrets!" He sobbed.
The gang of four disappeared faster than the speed of light.
Nuo banged her palm on the table. "What do you mean that I should handle everything today!? Stupid brother, come back! I am gonna tell this to Dad! You are so dead!"
Liu Chunhua came, hearing all the ruckus. "What was with all the noise? And where is Hai? We were supposed to watch a movie together," She asked, not seeing her husband anywhere.
Jin sneered. "Abandoned his wife for an unlimited food festival. Some caring husband you got there, Grandma."
"..."
Her gaze turned chilly with an impending smile on her lips and veins popping on her forehead. "Ah, I see...Food is more important than spending time with his wife. Good, good. I think the rusty shed in the garden will be of perfect use for Hai to sleep his nights there from now on."
Nana helplessly shook her head. "They will never change..."
Jun snorted. "That's fine with me. I needed the four to be out of this house today."
Everybody - "..."
Nuo asked, "What do you mean?"
Jun kept his chopsticks aside and said, "Ai's parents are here."
Nana and Liu Chunhua gasped. "Oh my. Our in-laws are in the city?"
"Yes. They are in Beijing. Currently, they are living at my condo with Ai. They want to meet my family since they are here."
Nuo choked. "So you sent the four away on purpose?"
"Of course. When I say family, I mean my family minus those four," his gaze darkened. "I am pretty sure they will do nothing else but bully and embarrass me in front of Ai's parents, and I won't let that happen."
"So the food festival..."
He snorted. "I obviously arranged it."
"..."
"To think that you can go so far..."
"Heh. I can go to any lengths to keep those four away. They are nothing but a source of infinite troubles. Also, I have already texted Dad. He is on his way back home."
Nana beamed and clapped her hands once with delight. "Oh my! This is so wonderful! We will finally get to meet Ai's parents."
Liu Chunhua eagerly said, "Yes, yes, it was high time we met her family too. Ah, I am so excited! We shouldn't waste time then. Let's welcome them with a grand feast!"
Nuo chirped. "I will help out too!"
Jin chuckled. "So it's fine if those four are really away?" Though Jin was inwardly pleased with Jun's plan.
Nuo icily remarked. "I don't have anything to do with a brother who dumps his responsibility upon me for food."
Liu Chunhua shared her sentiments. "I don't have anything to do with a husband who abandons his wife for food."
The trio of women hopped away with excitement leaving the two brothers alone.
Jin sneered. "That was a good plan."
Jun winked.
"Anyway, I saw Cai Guiying at Shui's banquet too."
Jun narrowed his eyes. "Yes, she was."
Jin glanced at him. "So you know, I found something interesting related to her."
