I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 274 The Empress Dowager Arrives
"Uncle, Grandma and I have arrived at the airport. Please come and pick us up."

A familiar voice came through the phone.

Liu Jin was taken aback, and asked somewhat unsure, "Qianqian?"

"Yes, my grandma and I are at the airport and we don't know which way to go. Please come and pick us up."

"No, which airport are you at?"

"Paris, this Paris airport..."

Before Qianqian could finish speaking, a voice came from the phone: "Qianqian, get out of here... Xiaojin, we've arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport. That brat, before she left she was bragging to me about how good her English was, that she'd have no problem speaking it."

When I got here, I almost became mute.

Even buying tickets is a problem; I had no choice but to ask for help, so I called you.

"You guys... you've come to France? Why didn't you tell me..."

"It's a surprise, mainly to give you a surprise."

Liu Jin felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think about it too much right now.

"Go to the departure hall and find a counter to wait by. I'll see if I can find someone to go ahead first, and I'll book the tickets right away."

"Okay, then be careful. We're all fine here for now."

"So be it."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin started thinking about who to ask for help.

A moment later, he dialed Chloe's cell phone.

"Chloe, I need your help urgently."

"what's up?"

"You're in Paris, aren't you?"

"Yes!"

Chloë Magnon is currently in Paris preparing for her legal review and defense in September.

"I need your help with something. My mom and niece suddenly arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport and are now stuck there."

When you get to the departure hall, there are two Chinese people, one older and one younger; they should be near the counter.

"Your mother is here? Why didn't you come to pick her up from the airport?"

"They didn't tell me..."

"Charles de Gaulle Airport is so big, with so many counters..."

"Keep looking, you'll definitely find it. I'm going to the airport now, on the fastest flight. Keep in touch."

Before Chloe could respond, Liu Jin hung up the phone.

"Eva, I can't take you anymore."

He was supposed to take Eva to the train station, but this happened.

Eva overheard his call with Chloe.

So she wasn't angry.

There's nothing anyone can do when something like this happens.

"Okay, I can go to the train station by myself... But what will happen to Eva and the others if you leave?"

“I called Ottilie and asked her to come over and take care of things.”

"Then be careful."

The two parted ways at the street corner.

Liu Jin took a taxi straight to the airport, while Eva went to the train station.

In the taxi, he contacted Ottilie.

As a result, the girl's phone was constantly busy; I don't know what she was busy with.

Liu Jin had no choice but to call Mela again, and this time the call went through.

I explained the situation to Mela and asked her to tell Ottilie to help take care of the three little ones.

Mela readily agreed.

“She’s been incredibly busy lately. Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Austria… all are asking about ‘Silenced’. Okay, she’s finished her call, I’ll tell her now. Don’t worry about home, I’ll urge Chloe again.”

"it is good!"

Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mela is reliable!
Therefore, Liu Jin was relieved.

He rushed to the airport and bought a full-price ticket for a flight to Paris that was taking off an hour later.

He didn't have much luggage and went straight through security.

Before boarding the plane, he contacted Chloe again.

Chloe is on her way to Charles de Gaulle Airport!

……

Liu Jin had experienced firsthand the terrible state of Charles de Gaulle Airport in his past life.

Few taxi drivers speak English, and even those who do often have very strong accents.

If you've just come from China, you really won't understand what they're saying; it's even harder to understand than English with an Indian accent.

Thankfully it wasn't nighttime.

Otherwise, all counters at the airport will be closed.

That's how the French are; they leave right after get off work.

It's like you're taking their lives if you dare make them work overtime for even a minute.

All I can say is that the Americans are quite good at raising pigs.

Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief after boarding the flight. After an hour and a half flight, the moment the plane landed, he immediately turned on his phone to check his messages.

There was a missed call from Chloe.

He quickly dialed back, and the call was answered instantly.

"Amos, I've picked them up, and they're at exchange counter number 9 in the departure hall now."

"What exchange counter?"

"Currency? The aunties and the others have francs."

"I'm dizzy!"

I've forgotten about it.

The news of Europe changing its currency is certainly known in China.

If Mom were still working, she would definitely know what to do.

Unfortunately, she has been retired for five years and doesn't usually pay attention to these things.

So much so that when he went abroad, he brought francs with him...

"Then you wait for me over there, I'll be right there."

"it is good!"

Chloe hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Auntie, Amos has landed and will be here soon."

Mom and Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Chloe found them, Mom recognized them immediately.

Previously, when Liu Jin moved, he sent back a videotape in which Chloe, Mela, and Ottilie all appeared.

Otherwise, she might not have believed Chloe.

My mom speaks Russian and some basic English.

It's normal that Russian was the mainstream language for people of her generation.

As for Qianqian...

It was a waste of time attending New Oriental.

When he met Chloe, he stammered and couldn't get a coherent sentence out.

How about we let her study in France?

Staying in China is pointless; even New Oriental can't teach you anything, so don't waste your money.

In France, if she didn't study hard, she wouldn't even be able to leave the house.

If Xiao Jin keeps an eye on her, there shouldn't be any major problems.

At this moment, Qianqian still had a pair of clear, naive eyes, unaware that her future fate was about to change.

……

"Aren't you guys just making a fool of yourselves?"

A surprise? This is the surprise you've given me? More like a shock!

Liu Jin finally reunited with his mother.

Upon meeting, he couldn't help but complain.

I've never been this pathetic in this life or the last.

Full price ticket!

In both my lifetimes combined, I've never bought a full-price ticket.

The main problem was the constant fear and anxiety, which didn't stop even on the plane.

"How would I know what Qianqian learned at New Oriental? She told me it was no problem, that she could communicate in English."

I was out of my mind and believed her!

Faced with Liu Jin's impending outburst, Mom decisively shifted the blame.

Qianqian muttered, "It's all because you wanted to come and do a surprise inspection, and you wouldn't let me notify my uncle."

"What do you say?"

"I didn't say anything."

Qianqian usually speaks Mandarin.

When my mom yelled at me, I started speaking in my Central Plains dialect.

Liu Jin looked at his mother with suspicion, then at Qianqian.

"Chloe, thanks."

"No need to thank me... Are you flying back now, or staying in Paris for a while?"

Liu Jin turned his head and looked at his mother.

"How about we spend two days in Paris and then go to Toulouse?"

My mom's idea is to go to Toulouse immediately, so we can do a surprise inspection.

But Qianqian secretly tugged at her.

Girls always have fantasies about Paris.

I'm in Paris, not some Yu the Great taming the floods, so what if I just walk right past them?
"Then, let's stay here for two days, just two days, it's a deal!"

"Okay, okay, two days!"

In any case, Liu Jin was finally no longer living in fear.
