The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 1526

After a while, Angie returned with a bottle of Maotai in a four-jin bottle. Orrin took the bottle, opened it, and said to Charlie Wade, “Charlie, since Daisy’s birth, I’ve bought a selection of the finest Moutai every year for her birthday. I have a whole storage room in the basement now—all auction-level, top-quality Maotai. It was meant for Daisy’s wedding, to entertain relatives and friends. Let's try some tonight!”

Angie smiled. “Charlie, Orrin cherishes this wine. That storage room is like a vault; we’ve only just opened it. It's been stored for over twenty years, and this is the first bottle we've opened!”

Orrin smiled. “This wine was meant for your wedding with Daisy, so let's have a taste!”

Stefanie blushed. Charlie Wade felt awkward.

Marry? he thought. I’m already married. How can I marry Stefanie?

Orrin noticed Charlie Wade’s discomfort. “Charlie, I know your situation. Don’t worry. I’m healthy now, and I’ve got twenty or thirty more years left. I’m the boss here; our family has waited three years for you!”

Pouring wine, Orrin continued, “You can resolve your current issues quickly and then plan your future—whether you want to return to Eastcliff or the Wade family. Think it over. It doesn’t matter if you don't return to the Wade family. You’re the Sun family’s son-in-law, and everything here is yours.”

Angie added, “Charlie, you were born and raised in Eastcliff until you were eight. It’s your home. Coming back after marrying Daisy is the best choice.”

“If you’re tired of Eastcliff’s wealthy family life, you and Daisy can settle overseas. Don’t worry about money. Orrin and I have enough to support you both anywhere in the world.”

Stefanie blushed, silent but gazing at Charlie Wade with tenderness.

Charlie Wade knew his engagement to Stefanie was his parents’ wish. It had existed for over twenty years, a promise he hadn't kept. Refusing now would dishonor their memory.

He nodded. “Uncle Orrin and Angie, I’ll consider this carefully.”

He planned to delay the matter and gradually ease the situation.

Orrin readily agreed, handing Charlie Wade a glass. Raising his own glass, he said, “Come on, Charlie! Bottoms up!”

They clinked glasses and drank the Maotai. Orrin savored the taste. “Now I know that wealth and power aren't as important as health! Health is everything!”

He then asked, “Charlie, what was that miraculous medicine you gave me? It’s like an elixir!”

The Amazing Son in Law Chapter 1527

Charlie Wade smiled. “Uncle Orrin, it's called a Rejuvenating Pill. I can’t say it's a true elixir, but it's close. It was created by ancient Chinese alchemists, and I obtained it by chance.”

Orrin didn’t doubt him. “This medicine is incredible. It doesn't seem earthly. The feeling was almost dreamlike! Our ancestors possessed powers beyond our comprehension.”

Charlie Wade nodded. He didn't know the author of the “Apocalyptic Book,” but judging by the age of the jade Chun bottle (Ming Dynasty), the wooden box containing the book must have been placed inside before the bottle was made. The materials of the box and book were also remarkable; fire didn’t harm them, and they vanished instantly upon opening. The mystery remained unsolved. He understood Orrin's wonder.

After several rounds of drinking, Orrin became more jovial and drank heartily. They each consumed about a catty of baijiu.

Angie suddenly remembered something. “Orrin, your appearance at the board meeting tomorrow will shock many people, especially your brothers.”

Orrin sneered. “Tomorrow, I’ll not only stun the board but also reorganize it! I tolerated my brothers when I was ill, only to find they were plotting against me. Their days at Sun Group are over!”

Angie urged, “Be careful. Hire more bodyguards to protect yourselves from your brothers.”

Orrin nodded. “Tomorrow, I’ll hire the best security team for twenty million. From now on, I only trust the people in this room.” (He meant his wife, daughter, and Charlie Wade.) He couldn't trust anyone else, not even his own brothers, who had betrayed him and threatened his family. He had seen the ugly side of human nature. Brothers could turn on each other for profit.

He looked at Charlie Wade. “Charlie, if you’re free tomorrow, come with me. I'll feel more confident with you.”

Charlie Wade readily agreed. He was in Eastcliff to help Orrin resolve his problems—both his health and his business. Orrin was vulnerable after his illness, and might not be able to withstand his brothers’ attacks. Worse, they might try to kill him. They wouldn’t give up the billions easily.

Charlie Wade needed to help Orrin before returning to Aurouss Hill.

Seeing Charlie’s agreement, Orrin raised his glass. “Come on, Charlie, to you!”

They clinked glasses again. Angie whispered to Stefanie, “Your father hasn’t been this happy in a long time.”

Stefanie nodded. “I haven't seen him this happy since Uncle Wade’s accident.”

Angie held her daughter’s hand. “Charlie’s a good man. Hold onto him!”

Stefanie blushed. “Mom… you know he’s married…”

Angie said earnestly, “He’s your fiancé. He's your husband, not hers!” She paused. “Besides, no one in Aurouss Hill is worthy of him; not even the richest man. In Eastcliff, only you and the Banks family's daughter are suitable. You have a marriage contract, a longstanding friendship between families. Your marriage is meant to be. And then your father and I will have more grandchildren. He’ll be happy!”

Stefanie blushed. “Mom, how do I… I don’t have any experience…”

Angie said, “I’ll teach you later!”

Charlie Wade raised his glass. “Uncle Orrin, I’m here to see you and Angie, and to visit my parents’ graves. Where are they buried?”

Orrin sighed. “Wade Mountain, in the western suburbs.”

“Wade Mountain?” Charlie Wade was surprised. He’d never heard of it.

Orrin explained, “It’s a mountain with excellent feng shui. Your parents were initially buried in Sabil Cemetery, but after something happened to the Wade family four years ago, I bought this mountain and renamed it. It’s the Wade family’s ancestral tomb.” He added that the family had invested hundreds of millions to renovate it and moved the entire ancestral tomb three years ago.

Charlie Wade wasn’t concerned with Wade family matters, only the location of his parents' graves, whether he could visit them, and who had harmed them.

After Orrin’s explanation, Charlie Wade asked, “Uncle Orrin, can I visit Wade Mountain?”

Orrin said, “It’s strictly controlled. Outsiders can’t enter without prior arrangement. But you’re Wade family, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Charlie Wade shook his head. “I don’t want the Wade family to know I’m in Eastcliff. I don’t want to contact them yet.”

Orrin suggested, “I’ll call your uncle, saying I want to visit, and ask him to arrange it. You can disguise yourself, and we can go together. You strongly resemble your father; they’ll recognize you.”

Charlie Wade bowed deeply. “Uncle Orrin, thank you!”

Orrin helped him up. “Charlie, you’re our family’s benefactor! No need for this.”

Charlie Wade said solemnly, “It’s not trivial to me. I haven’t visited my parents’ graves for eighteen years. Your help means a lot.”

Orrin said, “You're right, it’s not trivial! Don’t worry, I’ll take you tomorrow!”

Angie said, “I’ll go with Stefanie. If you and Orrin go together, the Wade family will be suspicious. They know what’s going on in our family, and we don't have any other young men.”

Orrin suggested, “Charlie can pretend to be my driver.”

Angie agreed but insisted that she and Stefanie accompany them.

Orrin agreed that they would all go together tomorrow. He proposed that he and Charlie Wade would attend the board meeting in the morning, and Angie and Stefanie would wait at home.

They finished the four-jin bottle of Maotai. Feeling elated, Orrin showed Charlie Wade old photos of his parents.

Charlie Wade’s parents were strikingly handsome and beautiful. Even Angie couldn't compare to Charlie Wade's mother's beauty.

Orrin had been present at Charlie Wade's parents' wedding and had photos with them. There were photos of their own wedding, with Charlie Wade's parents as guests. Then came photos of Charlie Wade as a baby, and later, of Stefanie. There were photos of the two children together; Charlie Wade was taller, Stefanie clinging to his arm, while he kept a distance.

Orrin sighed, “Time flies. You’re all grown up now.”

Charlie Wade’s eyes were red, but he held back his tears. Orrin patted his shoulder. “Charlie, your parents would be happy to know you’re safe.”

Charlie Wade nodded. “I feel ashamed. I haven’t visited them in so many years, and haven’t achieved much.”

Orrin said earnestly, “Your parents were open-minded. They never expected you to be extraordinary. They only wanted you to be happy and healthy. Don’t be troubled.”

He smiled. “Did you know your mother liked the name ‘Lily’ from Jin Yong’s novels? If you were a girl, she would have named you that.”

Charlie Wade smiled, feeling warmth in his heart. His mother had always prioritized happiness and kindness over achievement.

After an afternoon of chatting, Angie came in with fruit. “Charlie, your room is ready, next to Stefanie’s. You’ve had a lot to drink; rest for a while. Let us know if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Angie,” Charlie Wade replied.
