Chapter 121: Chen celebration banquet: The beginning (2)
Nana was with the twins in their room.
“Wow, sis. You look so beautiful.”, Yukira said.
Yukito nodded. “Yup. I must admit that sis Serena did a brilliant job.”
“Don’t tell this to her though. She will be way over the moon.”
Nana chuckled.
Somebody knocked. “Dear. It’s me.”, Mother Chen said.
“Yes, coming.” She quickly opened the door and found the Chen trio waiting for her.
Mother Chen was astounded. “Oh my! You look gorgeous. Your friend really did a good job.”
Father Chen nodded.
Jianyu was also surprised to see her look so splendid. He knew she was pretty but today it was on a completely different level.
He smiled. “En. You really look beautiful.”
Nana smiled in embarrassment.
Mother Chen said, “All right dear. Your uncle and I will be going now to address all the guests. When we will announce your engagement, you and Jianyu come together, okay?”
She nodded. But, Mother Chen noticed her nervousness.
She patted her head. “Don’t worry dear. No need to get any nervous. You don’t have to talk to the media. Jianyu will handle all the questions.”
“Yes, Aunt Chen. I promise I won’t let you down.”
She smiled. “I know. But, remember. Just be yourself. It’s fine even if you make any mistake. We are all there with you. Anyway, we don’t give a fudge about what people think or say. Don’t let any judgments get to you. The only thing that should matter is that we Chen’s and Liu’s really care about you.”
Nana was overwhelmed. There are so many rich families who impose all kinds of restrictions and etiquettes on their daughters-in-law. She gets berated if she embarrasses the family.
“Yes, Aunt. I know.”
The twins were also touched. They already knew that Chen family really likes their sister and will keep her happy, but now they are relieved even more.

The waitress serving the socialites just a while ago entered the ladies’ room. She locked the door. She took off her mask and looked in the mirror.
Slowly, the mask came off and Suyin saw herself in the mirror.
Nana…I will never forgive you. Because of you I, Tang Suyin has to come to this grand banquet disguising as a mere waitress. I had to serve those b*tches socialites who I always looked down upon. You stole away all my rights, my boyfriend, my everything. Had it been you that night, then today I would be the woman walking alongside Jianyu.
What did you think? I lost my virginity to those disgusting men, I was r*ped for an entire hour by them, and do you think I will let you go? I still get nightmares. I still feel their disgusting cum seeping in my core.
And today, the same thing will happen to you. You got lucky that night, but today you won’t.
She sneered. The best part is that you will be begging them to f*ck you.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Everything is set, right? After the news is announced, I will serve her the spiked drink. You all be ready in room number 1206.”
“Yes, miss.”
She cut the call and smirked.

All the guests were busy talking between themselves. when Chen Guiren and Chen Liling finally made their entrance.
“Hey, they have arrived!”
“Gosh, I can’t wait!”
Liu family was sitting on the front-most table.
The twins settled on another.
Chen Guiren took the mike and everybody became silent.
“All our guests and the media, I thank you for attending this banquet and become a part of our celebration.”
He continued. “This banquet holds a very special meaning to Liling and me. Our son, Jianyu has made us proud by taking Chen Corps to an even greater height of success. He has carried out all his responsibilities as the CEO with a great sense of leadership and commitment.”
Everybody clapped.
“Chen Corps which was established by my great-grandfather is still running strong and tough, where Jianyu has even surpassed me. This banquet is to celebrate our success with the unyielding determination that Chen Corps will keep on growing even more than the last day.”
Everybody clapped again.
“Now, we have a very important announcement to make.”
Everybody quieted down.
Chen Guiren smiled and handed the mike over to his wife.
Chen Liling said, “Tonight, apart from our success, we will be celebrating one more grand event. And it came on such an opportune time that we got the chance to have a double celebration. We have found a perfect girl for our son.”
Liu Hai and Jing sneaked a glance at Jinhai. He was expressionless. It looked like this matter was not affecting him at all.
Everybody held their breaths.
“She is kind, gentle, independent and has all the qualities that we were looking for Jianyu to be his life partner all this time. Her name is Nana, and we are extremely happy to officially announce that Jianyu and Nana are going to get engaged.”
Just then the lights went out and the spotlight focused on the two incoming figures.
Jianyu offered his arm and asked, “Are you ready?”
Nana smiled. “Yes.” She locked her hand in his arm.
He smiled. “Just remember. Everything will be fine.”
She nodded.
They slowly made their way towards the stage. Everybody saw them coming and were stunned seeing the beauty beside Jianyu.
