I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 618 The Boiling Grysanthemum Manor
Old Zhong, you've had a daughter!
Liu Jin notified Chloe, Mela, and Ottilie's parents and brother overnight.

The next morning, the Gruson Estate became exceptionally lively.

Chloe flew in from Paris and drove to the estate early in the morning.

Mela is in America and can't come back for the time being, but she was very excited on the phone.

Liu Jin looked at the little life; it was wrinkled and somewhat unsightly.

But he dared not say it!

Because if he dared to say it, Lao Zhong would definitely dare to beat him up.

Liu Jin wasn't afraid of the others, but Old Zhong...

I always felt that this guy was a bit mysterious, so it's best to avoid provoking him if possible.

……

And so, Ottilie stayed at the Groussan estate for another week.

A week later, she started insisting on going home.

Fortunately, the small building that Liu Jin had sold to her before had already been renovated.

Old Zhong wasn't too keen on going back at first.

The air here is fresh and quiet; it's a great place for recuperation.

But Ottilie felt that staying here all the time wasn't quite right.

They had been staying with Liu Jin for over a month now. If they stayed any longer, Liu Jin wouldn't say anything, but she would feel uneasy.

Moreover, Grysan has a good environment and a medical team.

But it's a small place after all, not as convenient as Toulouse...

In short, Ottilie talked on and on, and Old Zhong finally had to change his mind.

He explained the situation to Liu Jin and the next day took Ottilie's family, his beloved daughter, and the medical team back to Toulouse.

Chloe didn't really want to leave.

But he couldn't resist Ottilie's insistence and ultimately chose to leave with her.

Thus, after a brief period of commotion, the Château de Grüssant returned to tranquility once more.

Good, now I can write in peace and quiet!

……

Anita Mui looked to be in good spirits.

Every day, he would walk on the streets of the town of Gruysand with Julie and Adrian's offspring, a black mongrel.

There was no job, and no paparazzi.

It's so carefree and pleasant.

Sometimes her brother would accompany her shopping, and other times he would stay at home alone writing songs.

The two did not frequently visit the Grüsang Manor to disturb Liu Jin, but they would visit the manor every weekend.

The brother and Alizee sang together.

Singing all sorts of songs, French, English, Cantonese...

Sometimes Anita Mui would join in, and when she was in high spirits, she would even sway and dance along to the songs, showing off her former diva charm.

At these times, the fairy would sit beside her and listen to the songs.

She would also take her little DV camera to film, recording her brothers' singing voices on video.

Liu Jin was also very relaxed, and occasionally he would sing a few songs.

Leslie Cheung asked if his voice had evolved and invited him to sing together.

But most of the time, Liu Jin refused!

He had no interest in singing, and forming a band with his brother was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

He devoted most of his energy to writing.

At the end of August, Liu Jin completed the final installment of the Millennium trilogy, "The Girl Who Plays with Fire".

When he sent the manuscript to Lala, she breathed a sigh of relief after forwarding it to Elena.

Next up is the second part of "The Shadow of the Wind".

He originally planned to write The Shadow of the Wind first, but after meeting Irene in Paris, he changed his mind at the last minute.

After all, there's only one movie left, so let's repay Elena's favor first.

It has been six years since his debut.

To be honest, Midnight Press provided a lot of help to Singella Press.

Liu Jin remembered this favor!

After finishing "Millennium", Liu Jin was completely relaxed.

He took Alizee and Angelina Jolie, and then Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, and sailed the Victor Hugo into the Mediterranean Sea.

They spent a whole week at sea.

At this time of year, the Mediterranean Sea is calm and the scenery is beautiful.

There's no need to worry about storms or anything like that. In short, when everyone returned to shore, they all felt a bit reluctant to leave.

After returning to Grysang, Liu Jin suddenly remembered something.

He made a phone call to Lao Zhong.

"Old Zhong, how's Old Zhao doing lately?"

“Him? He’s fine!” Old Zhong said. “He was in Toulouse three days ago, checking on Ottilie and Eva.”

Are you looking for him?

"Um, I have a question to ask you."

"Then you'll have to go to Switzerland to find him... but he's not in Zurich anymore." "Where?"

"Loikbad, he passed the clinic on to his son-in-law and went to Loikbad to live as a hermit."

I bought a glimpse of a hot spring in Burg…

"Wait a minute, Leukerbad? Isn't that a spa resort in Switzerland?"

"Yup!"

If Lao Zhong hadn't mentioned the hot springs, Liu Jin wouldn't have remembered where Leukebad was.

When he mentioned hot springs, I immediately remembered them.

The largest thermal spa resort in the Alps!
Prices in Switzerland are already high, so the fact that Mr. Zhao was able to buy a hot spring there demonstrates his considerable wealth.

"Give me his contact information."

"it is good!"

Old Zhong didn't ask too many questions and hung up the phone directly.

A while later, he sent a text message with Zhao Lao's phone number, his address in Burger, and his email address.

Liu Jin thought about it and didn't contact them immediately.

Instead, they suggested that Lao Zhong contact Zhao Lao first to see his attitude.

The next day, Lao Zhong replied to the message, telling Lao Zhao to let Liu Jin contact him himself.

Liu Jin then made an international call, during which he recounted Mei Gu's story to Zhao Lao.

"If it's convenient, please have her come over. I can't give a proper answer over the phone."

"Okay, then I'll give them your phone number and address. They'll contact you once they arrive in Burg."

"so be it."

After hanging up the call with Zhao Lao, Liu Jin secretly went to find Lao Zhang.

He told Lao Zhang about Zhao Lao's matter.

"I'm not saying his medical skills are necessarily better than those of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in China, but I think that he must be capable to be able to establish himself in Switzerland."

As you know, the thermal springs in Leukerbad are all state-owned assets of Switzerland.

"There must be a reason why they'd sell it to Elder Zhao for a glance... I've contacted him; you and Anita can go take a look together."

Liu Jin knew that Aunt Mei was now somewhat averse to seeing doctors.

She felt like she was suffering!

Leslie Cheung certainly hoped that Anita Mui could continue receiving treatment.

After listening to Liu Jin's words, I felt that they made sense.

Treat it as a vacation; soaking in a hot spring would be nice...

"Thanks, Lao Liu!"

Leslie Cheung patted Lau Chun's shoulder forcefully, his unspoken message unspoken.

……

"You're all gone, what am I going to do?"

Upon learning that Liu Jin and Alizee were returning to Toulouse, Tianxian came to their door looking aggrieved.

Oh right, I almost forgot about this little burden!

Alizee said, "Why don't we just let Crystal come back with us?"

There are also sign language schools in Toulouse. I remember there's one not far from the Toulouse National Conservatory of Music, run by Professor Julie Toquin; it's probably more professional there.

Julie Touquin is a renowned French sign language expert.

Tianxian quickly replied, "Yes, I've heard of Professor Tuquin. Our teacher also said she's very capable."

"Then let's say that."

Liu Jin made a decision.

Then came the big move.

Besides Alizee and Angelina Jolie, Eva Raccoon, Julie, and Adrian will also be going back to Toulouse this time.

As for Julie's children, they stayed at the estate.

They've all grown up and are capable of taking on the responsibility of guarding the house.

Moreover, a dozen or so mongrels would be difficult to care for if taken home.

Staying at the manor means there are people to take care of you, and you have plenty of space to move around.

Most importantly, the dozen or so local dogs have never left the estate since they were born; this is their home!
Julie and Adrian were overjoyed to be with Liu Jin again.

They eagerly crawled into Liu Jin's ML55, while Eva the Tanuki sat in the passenger seat.

The fairy had no choice but to get into Alizee's Z8.
The two cars then drove away from the manor, one after the other, speeding towards Toulouse.

Two days later, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui also left Gleissang.

They were to go to Toulouse first, and then from Toulouse they would travel to Leukerbad in Switzerland.

Old Zhang didn't tell Aunt Mei that they were going to see a doctor.

If I had told her, given Anita Mui's personality, she would most likely have refused to go.

He simply told Anita Mui that the scenery there was beautiful, and that she could also enjoy hot springs and skiing, which made Anita Mui somewhat interested.

With Liu Jin and the others gone, the Grüsang Manor fell silent once again!
Turner and his men were cleaning the estate, and a dozen or so stray dogs were running around, seemingly patrolling their territory.

Perhaps it won't be long before this place becomes lively again when Mr. Amos returns!

Old Turner stood beside the stone monument at the entrance of the manor, gazing into the distance, a strange anticipation stirring within him.
