However, Iris' plans regarding Long Hui and the Long clan had to take a backseat for now . She needed to take care of her other plans first .
Iris and Lu Zihao boarded one of Jin Liwei's private jets . Jiang Ying Yue, Little Jun and Wei Lan came with them .
The custody case was still pending because the judge hadn't issued an order for either Jiang Ying Yue or Long Hui's first appearance yet . Hong Shaoqiang told them that this might take around two to four weeks, depending on the judge . Sometimes it was quicker, while sometimes it took longer . Iris and their camp didn't want Long Hui blocking Jiang Ying Yue from taking Little Jun with her abroad, so they didn't inform him . After all, their travel plans were already set long before Long Hui made trouble with Jiang Ying Yue and waged the custody battle against her for Little Jun .
"Let's leave it to Attorney Hong to deal with," Iris said .
With that, they left the country . Dom, Tang Yiyi, a couple of Iris' bodyguards and some of Lu Zihao's subordinates accompanied them as well .
They headed to France .
The private jet landed in a small, private airport . It was currently filled with other private planes of all sizes . There were more scheduled to land throughout the day and even in the next few days . Dom and Tang Yiyi had spotted some famous international celebrities disembarking from the other private jets . The two wished they could run up to them to ask for autographs and photos . However, security was tight in the airport, so they could only fangirl from far away .
Iris and her group didn't waste any time staying at the private airport longer than necessary . There were private planes circling in the airspace above, waiting for their turn to land once the runway was cleared . They rode three limousines for their entire group . The Mediterranean Sea looked beautiful from a distance . There were also other limousines and other luxury cars headed the same way as them .
Afterwards, the limousines dropped them off at a private marina filled with an impressive collection of luxurious yachts . It was already autumn, but the weather in this place was still pleasantly warm during the day while cool in the evenings .

Iris and her group were welcomed by the crew of a massive luxury yacht named "LX" . The Captain was French and so were most of the crew . They recognized Iris and greeted her first in French before greeting the others in English . Lu Zihao also spoke fluent French . The crew also showed respect to Wei Lan, calling her Vizcondesa .
Dom, Tang Yiyi and Jiang Ying Yue felt like they were dreaming . Everything was so glamorous, luxurious and impressive . It wasn't only the luxury yacht that they were about to embark on, but also the sight of famous international celebrities boarding their own similarly luxurious yachts in the marina . They honestly didn't know where to look because there was so much to see .
They boarded the yacht "LX" and cruised for about half an hour before they disembarked at a luxurious resort town on a beautiful riviera . The view was magnificent . There were more yachts in the riviera's marina . Many five-star hotels were located near the coast, a prime location because of the beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea .
However, Iris and her group didn't head to one of these hotels . They rode limousines again and were driven to one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the area . About twenty minutes later, they arrived at a sprawling Mediterranean-style villa estate . The huge mansion looked very similar to a place Iris had visited before .
When they entered the mansion, a familiar booming voice greeted them .
"There you are! What took you so long? I want to know!"
Grandpa Lu appeared . His delighted booming laughter echoed inside the grand foyer .
"Ampa Lu! Ampa Lu!" an excited child's voice called out .
Little Jun wriggled out of Jiang Ying Yue's arms until she put him down . Then the toddler ran towards his great-grandfather . Grandpa Lu caught the child and lifted him up in his arms . He was still very strong despite his age .
"Little Junjun, my boy! You've grown so much since I've seen you! Come and give your Great-Grandpa a kiss!"
Of course, Little Jun obediently kissed the old man's cheek . Then he played with Grandpa Lu's perfectly groomed mustache with his fingers while giggling .
Grandpa Lu was too preoccupied with his great-grandson that he didn't pay much attention to Iris, Lu Zihao and the others . They didn't mind, though . It was nice seeing both Little Jun and Grandpa Lu so happy together . Jiang Ying Yue smiled seeing the scene . She felt thankful that her son was loved by so many people . These were the kind of people that she wanted her son to grow up with, not the toxic environment in the Long clan . Long Hui would never be able to surround their son with this kind of genuinely loving people .
Since Grandpa Lu was basically ignoring them, the French butler and the other household staff welcomed Iris and others instead . Their luggage were sent to their assigned rooms .
In the meantime, the butler gave everyone a tour in the villa . Grandpa Lu followed them while carrying Little Jun . He would interrupt the butler to give his own commentaries about the place .
The villa estate was owned by Jin Liwei, but it was originally owned by Grandpa Lu . It explained why the architecture and interior design matched Grandpa Lu's loud style more than Jin Liwei's . Grandpa Lu sold the property to Jin Liwei after he got bored of it . Although the property was technically now owned by Jin Liwei, he hadn't stayed here even once yet . It was still Grandpa Lu who frequently stayed in the villa whenever he felt like it .
For ten days, this villa estate would be their home .

At a five-star Oriental hotel .
In the same riviera, the cast and crew of the film "Strong Yet Broken" just checked in at the hotel . Guan Jintao and his wife were also scheduled to arrive the next day . LX Productions took care of their hotel bookings .
"Where's Iris Long?" the actress playing Guan Jintao's mother asked . "I thought that she's coming . "
The President of LX Productions answered her . "I received information that Miss Long has already arrived . She has prepared her own accommodations in a separate location . We'll meet her tomorrow . "
"Must be nice to be born into a rich family," the actor playing the adult Guan Jintao commented . "Iris can afford to book her own hotel . I saw the rates in this hotel and I almost had a heart attack . It's even more expensive right now because of the event . I would never stay here if I have to pay with it out of my own pocket . "
He turned to the President of LX Productions . "So thank you very much, sir, for allowing me to experience this kind of luxury . I'll never forget this in my life . Wait, you know what? This entire experience is something I'll never forget in my life . I'm so glad that I accepted the offer to act in this film! I can't believe that we're actually participating in the prestigious Sommet International Film Festival!"
