Chapter 290: Pearl is about to give birth

"If you don’t have the stomach for it, I can do it for you." The old madam added, "See how sharp my nails are, I can come away with a good chunk of skin if I decide to pinch someone."

The old madam was showing her short but sharp well filed red nails off as if they were weapons.

"Grandma, do you pinch Mei-Mei’s nails with such nails?" Muyang asked.

"I am well trained in how to use these weapons of mass destruction, don’t worry. But if it will make you feel better I will have them trimmed at the nail salon tomorrow." The old madam explained as she brushed him off.

"I like my wife’s nails, she is not trimming them." The old master said unhappily. "Anyway, just do what your grandmother has said and invite that family here. We will deal with them personally in a controlled environment."

The issue of the nails was temporarily abandoned and the old master’s suggestion was brought to the forefront.

"Does anyone know where they are?" Chi Rui looked at his two siblings.

"I do." Muyang replied, "I have had someone keeping an eye on your grandmother ever since she met your mother. I figured that she was soon going to cause trouble for the family and I wanted it to be contained as soon as it happened."

"Then send some men to pick them up and drop them off here, the sooner we get the ugly business over and done with, the faster we can get answers and move on." The old master ordered.

Muyang stepped away from the group to do as his grandfather asked.

In the meantime, everyone turned their eyes to Pearl who mewing was huskier, harsher even if one described it.

"I think she is getting close, where is the doctor?" the old madam glared at her husband when she asked.

"On his way I think." The old master replied.

There was a buzzing and the butler opened the door. A male veterinary doctor and his female assistant came in.

"Young miss, the vet is here." The butler announced even though it was unnecessary because everyone could see him.

The old madam stood up eagerly and said t the vet, "Finally, we have been waiting for hours. Come and check on our Pearl, I am worried about my kittens." She led him to the corner where Pearl was.

"Thank you madam, we will take care of everything." The vet told her.

As those who were curious in the house followed the vet, Chi Lian went to the kitchen to prepare something for Pearl to eat after she was finished giving birth.

"Are you cooking?" Muyang who had followed her into the kitchen asked.

"Yes, for Pearl." She answered.

"Hmph, you have not cooked for me before." He mumbled.

Before she could respond properly to her grumpy man, "Mummy," a little voice came from down, and tiny fingers tugged at her clothes persistently. It was little monk who occasionally said the word mummy but nothing much else so far.

"Yes baby." She said.

"Mmm" he replied, holding his arms up with the desire to be carried.

"Mummy is busy." Muyang scooped him up and said. "Besides, you are a big boy, why are you always latching onto your mummy."

"Because he is still my darling baby." Chi Lian replied on little monk’s behalf.

Her darling baby was twisting around in his father’s arms with an unhappy look. When the twisting did not work, his small feet started kicking.

"Are you kicking your father?" Muyang looked at his son and asked.

"Mummy." Little monk said in a demanding voice.

"He really is persistent." Muyang said after scoffing a bit. "Like mother like son I guess. You were determined to get Hian and you got her."

Chi Lian stopped stirring the chicken congee in the pot and took little monk from Muyang. Over her shoulder little monk smiled provocatively at his father.

"I guess you have seen the advert, she is going to be on tea with a princess on Christmas day. It’s only two days away so I am very excited about it.

We have been getting many phone calls from companies which suddenly want to sponsor the show. Wenli says DTV is offering us five million to give Hian’s exclusive interview to them." She laughed happily. "I told you that her side of the story is a jackpot."

"Good for you," he replied. He took an apple from the basket on the counter and tossed it up and down. "By the way have you sent your people to the Chu family’s tea plantation?" he suddenly asked.

Stirring the congee with one hand while carrying little monk with the other, she answered, "Not yet, I am sending Piggy and Squirrel to sniff around first. I don’t want to send my reporters into a dangerous situation."

The kitchen door was opened and triplet two entered. "Sister-in-law, we want some wine." He said loudly.

She pointed the wooden spoon in her hands in the direction of the peach wine barrels.

"You made a god decision not to send them out yet because we discovered some information about the people in the pictures. " Muyang told her.

"You mean the doctor, the female assistant and the two Chu family men." She replied absentmindedly.

She switched the gas off and poured the congee into a bowl.

While she did that, Muyang and triplet two were looking at her with impressed looks on their faces. They thought they were ahead of everyone but Chi Lian was right up there with them. She did not have the many resources they had which is why they were very impressed.

"Sister –in-law, your information network is really impressive." Triplet two said.

"Of course it is, I pay them extremely well." She bragged.

T4 rolled his eyes, how exactly was she paying him? She was even a dictator when it came to how he spent points on everything. He was not allowed to splurge as he wanted.

Triplet two went out with four glasses of wine on a tray and Qi Qing came in with a smile on her face.

"Young miss, Pearl has given birth to three kittens."
