His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 907

Chapter 907 - Gathering Before The Appointed Time

"Dupont, you bastard!" a booming voice echoed in the vast front hall where some of the guests who just arrived were congregating. "You’re here! Bahahaha! It’s nice to see your old, wrinkled face again!"

"Speak for yourself, Jianhong," Professor Erwan Dupont replied in German. His stern, sharp eyes twinkled as he shook his old friend’s hand before giving each other hugs. "Still as loud as a blue whale, I see."

"Bah! I’m just speaking louder than usual so that your old ears can hear what I’m saying. Bahaha!"

Grandpa Lu "patted" his old friend in the back and it was a miracle how the much thinner headmaster of Cross Academy was able to endure such force. The people around them winced at the loud sounds. Looking at Professor Dupont, however, his back remained tall and straight. His expression also didn’t change.

"Sir Lu, it’s good to see you again," Giulia Moretti, Cross Academy’s admissions counselor who also doubled as Professor Dupont’s assistant sometimes, stepped forward and greeted.

"Giulia! You look even more beautiful than before!"

The others also stepped forward and greeted Grandpa Lu. There was Iris’ language instructors, Professor Kalisha Schwarz and Professor Hisakawa Akio.

On the students’ side, there was the beautiful artist Ashandra Knightson, the charming but quirky inventor Amanpio Kileksky, the small and bubbly economist and Cross Academy’s star moneymaker AJ Zheneres, the pretty and shy environmental inventor Florence O’Sevan, and finally, the conscientious biomedical engineer Theresa Blipsburg.

Afterwards, Grandpa Lu introduced Grandma Li and Huang Yuyan to Professor Dupont. The others already met the two Jin madams at Orchidia Beauty’s grand launch.

They heard more people arriving and turned their heads to see Enrique Valdez walking together with Maestro Ludovico De Luca and JJ.

"You’re here!" Once again, Grandpa Lu’s voice boomed in the front hall.

After a brief chat, they finally started talking about the mysterious event. There were many extra staff both male and female dressed in the same refined butler suits welcoming all the guests after checking the invitations. The entire front hall was decorated with many colourful wildflowers, artfully crawling vines, beautiful green shrubs and small potted trees, and hanging lights that looked like glowing fireflies.

At the top of the grand twin staircases was a new and bigger painted portrait of Iris, Jin Liwei and their four cats.

The fat grey cat sitting on Iris’ lap seemed to be the haughtiest as if she was looking down on everyone in the world.

The striped ginger one looked comical with his tongue lolling out like a dog as he balanced his agile body on the back of Iris’ throne-like chair.

On the arm of the chair beside Iris was a pure shadow-black cat with striking golden eyes. His stone face looked bored but his curled tail made him adorable.

Standing beside Iris was the tall Jin Liwei carrying an adorable pure snow-white cat with beautiful green eyes in his arms. She was definitely the most photogenic cat that the guests had ever seen in their entire lives.

"My apologies, Sir Lu and everyone. The master and mistress have not granted us authority to disclose that information. We ask you to be patient for now. We assure you that everything will be revealed at the appointed time."

"Hmph!"

Grandpa Lu pretended to be displeased but his eyes couldn’t hide the excitement and anticipation. The others were also in similar states. When they reached the parlour, there were already some people inside.

The Bauer siblings were there. Alric was chatting with his sister Alona who flew from Germany to attend today’s event. The Cross Academy students headed straight to them to give them a greeting. They had met before at Orchidia Beauty’s grand launch. Amanpio was especially friendly with the German siblings because he had closely worked with Alric before in creating special equipment.

Qiao Yu, Iris’ financial manager, was sitting at a corner and chatting with Xu Tian, Jin Liwei’s right-hand man. Both of them actually knew what was going on today but pretended to be clueless like everyone else.

Near them sat the two managers Tang Yiyi and Lin Dong.

At another corner, there was a big group comprising of the Black Stars officers. Zhou Mei’er (CaptainBlackStar), Ming Li (LittlePhoenix) and her father were there. The four posh ladies Feng Wan (MrsLovePhantom), Si Xinyue (JJNumber1Fan) with her Police Chief husband, Bai Li (JJNumber2Fan), and Kung Mian (JJNumber3Fan) were all present. To complete their group, Hou Liang (MonkeyFace) and Wu Chen (iEatSlippers) also attended, of course.

Grandpa Lu formed his own group at the centre of the parlour with Grandma Li and Huang Yuyan, Professor Dupont and Giulia Moretti, Professor Schwarz and Professor Hisakawa, and also Enrique Valdez, Maestro De Luca and JJ.

The door opened again as more people entered the now bustling parlour.
