295 My Present For You (1/2)
It wasn't only Clover who answered. All of the Chuas answered with a resounding yes, looking very excited.
Iris chuckled. ”Alright then. It's decided. Dom, help your sister process her papers so that she can come here immediately after her graduation.”
”Yes, boss!” Dom answered right away.
”Oh boss! Thank you so much!!!” Clover clutched her chest, as she was overcome with emotions.
Their mother, Reina Chua, burst into tears. ”Miss Xiulaaaaaan! You're an angel sent from heaven to my family! Thank you soooo much! Wuwuwu! Please continue to be good to my son, ha. I'll also leave my youngest daughter in your care. Wuwuwu! Can I hug you?”
”Of course, Auntie.” Iris smiled at the emotional madam.
Reina hugged Iris tightly while sobbing hard because of gratitude and happiness. Her husband, Domingo Chua, also had glistening eyes but didn't cry like his wife.
Afterwards, Iris asked about the other sisters. Dom's eldest sister, Marjorie, was a stay-at-home mom to her two children. Her husband was a real estate agent.
Jin Liwei looked interested after hearing that. He then began talking to Marjorie's husband, asking him about his work. Jin Liwei was thinking that it would be nice to buy a vacation home in the Philippines for him and his bride.
Dom's second older sister, Linda Chua, was a marketing professional working for a Filipino company. Iris wasn't saying anything now, but she planned on poaching this sister to open Orchidia Beauty's Filipino branch in the future.
Later after dinner, everyone exchanged Christmas presents. Iris and Jin Liwei were very generous and extravagant in their gifts. Both the penthouse and mansion household staff received not only gifts but also bonuses in their salaries as well.
Of course, the children got the most presents. Little Jun, Ice Cream, Popcorn and Dom's two-year old nephew looked delighted at first but quickly became bored after opening only a few presents. The cats especially were only interested in the wrappings and boxes. They abandoned their mountain of gifts to resume playing with each other instead. It was Dom's ten-year old niece who was old enough to feel excited at all the presents and continued to open hers.
The Christmas celebration drew to a close. The children fell asleep and soon the adults felt tired as well. Everyone stayed and slept over at the mansion.
Iris and Jin Liwei returned to their suite. Both looked excited because they each had their own surprises for each other.
Jin Liwei stopped before they could enter their bedroom.
”Wait, love. I haven't given my Christmas present for you yet.”
Jin Liwei opened a drawer at the suite's lounge room and took out a thick envelope. Then he handed it to her.
She tilted her head to the side when she felt the weight of the envelope.
”Open it,” he urged her.
She did. When she saw what was inside, she frowned, feeling confused. Then as she read on, her eyes widened and she gasped.
”Darling! Is this real?”
”En. Merry Christmas, love,” he said. ”You like it?”
”I… This is too much…”
The envelope contained a purchase of business agreement. Jin Liwei bought the entire company of Gold Heights Condominiums and named Iris as its sole owner. Meaning, Iris now owned several buildings and properties across the country.
