Chapter 307: Admittance

At the Golden Sea villa, everybody gathered to dig in for the delicious lunch prepared by Nana. Nana had spent extra time to organize everything since this was the first time her family was officially meeting the in-laws.
Shin was already drooling with the delicacies laid on the table. There were steamed dumplings, hot ‘n’ sour soup, braised and stuffed pork, mushroom fried rice, yummy chicken stew, grilled chilly fish, fried garlic prawns and spicy noodles with mixed meat.
It was a feast, indeed. Nana had cooked a variety of dishes to celebrate their first lunch together.
Jing was already in heaven with just the aroma alone.
“Sister-in-law, I would have done some good deeds in the past life to get a sister-in-law like you. You are the best!”
Everybody laughed.
Grandma Liu also praised her. “Indeed, we are lucky to have her as our daughter-in-law. Not only she makes good food, but her nature is also just as kind.”
Liu Chunhua softly giggled to hear the tsundere grandma appreciating Nana. She also affectionately patted Nana’s head. Her gaze was warm and filled with motherly love.
“Sit down, dear. You must be tired now.”
Grandma Liu cleared her throat and paid no attention to her.
Nana felt a little embarrassed like always.
Liang Zou felt so proud. No wonder my daughter is such a successful chef. She is so capable. She deserves it. Even the dinner at the banquet last night was so delicious and amazing.
The guests just couldn’t stop showering with compliments at the Liang couple for Nana.
Liang Xiao Dan was also greatly relieved to see all the Liu family members treating Nana well.
For some wealthy families, the background really mattered, and they cannot tolerate a woman with such low history. She was glad to know that Liu family wasn’t so shallow like that.
The maids started to serve the food. They thoroughly sang her praises again as the delicious food melted in their mouths.
Jinhai, like always, picked two pieces of pork and placed it on Nana’s dish. He didn’t let her move even a single finger.
Liang Shin was sternly observing everything. The warmth and gentleness with which Jinhai looked at Nana were indeed genuine.
He understood that very well himself. Because at one time in the past, he also looked at a certain someone with immense love and care.
He saw himself at the same place as Jinhai and that certain someone in the same place as Nana. Shin’s gaze fell on her baby bump and he quickly glanced away.
The twin’s chatter brought him out of his daze.
Liang Zou smiled. “Nana, I want to let you and everybody here know something.”
Nana put down her chopsticks.
“Yes, Dad.”
Dad…that was such music to his ears.
Shin nodded.
“I have decided to transfer 25% of our business shares in your name.”
Nana widened her eyes in disbelief. “B-but…”
Jinhai wasn’t so shocked. He had expected this.
Liang Zou shook his head. “Let me do it, dear. The company belongs to you too, as much as to Shin. I am not forcing you to take over the company because I know that you really love your own business though you are free to step in anytime you want. But like my daughter, you must have a part in our shares.”
Although he said that, he was worried about his company. Shin was a doctor, and Nana was a chef. Both had successfully established themselves in their respective careers. So the question was, who would be the next CEO after him? He didn’t want to force any of them.
He sighed and let it go for now.
Liang Xiao Dan held her hand. “Yes, dear. It is your right. Please don’t take it as a burden. When parents work hard to earn, they eventually pass it on to their children. We are also doing just that. You will also do the same with your children too one day.”
Nana was overwhelmed. She wasn’t greedy for money, but their thought and gesture touched her heart.
Nana smiled. “Okay.”
Liang Zou grinned. “Great! I will quickly handle all the procedures then.”
Gulping a fried prawn in his mouth, Liu Hai said, “You did the right thing, child. And if any day you wish to take over their business, you can come to me,” one could imagine his nose getting longer in pride, “The great ex-CEO, Liu Hai will teach you everything about the business.”
Jinhai sneered. “No, thanks, Dad. Her husband is here to do that.”
“Heh! Who wants to learn from you? Instead of teaching her, you will only be lovey-dovey and waste time. I, as her father-in-law, am a perfect choice.”
Liu Chunhua nudged her husband and glared at him. “Why do you always have to embarrass your son? There are our in-laws here! I will seriously throw you out of the room tonight.”
Liu Hai felt wronged and sat like a saddened puppy. Jing was thoroughly enjoying it.
Jinhai shrugged.
Liang Zou grumpily said, “I can also teach her. We will get more bonding time.”
Shin was seriously wondering if there was something wrong with these two fathers. They both acted so childishly.
The atmosphere at the lunch table was quite harmonious. They wanted to know about Jinhai and Huian’s marriage, but they thought not to talk about it now.
As they chatted and were having fun, both families grew a little closer to each other. Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan were satisfied with Jinhai and his family.
A while later, Liang Xiao Dan suggested. “Since we are here, there is another important thing that we wanted to talk about.”
Liu Chunhua said, “Yes, please feel free to say.”
Liang Xiao Dan nodded.
“You all know how Nana was separated from us all these years. There is almost twenty-three years’ worth of time that we lost. And we want to make it up now as much as possible. We want to spend some time with Nana as a family. So, we would be really happy if Nana can live with us in Liang villa for some time.”
That took Jinhai both by surprise and shock. He was in deep thought.
Grandma Liu supported them, though.
“That is a good idea, indeed. Naturally, you would wish to be with Nana now that you have finally reunited with her. I see no problem.”
Liu Chunhua agreed as well. “Yes, this is a good time to know each other as family. There are so many things you have to catch up with one another. I support it, as well. What do you say, Nana?”
Liu Hai also didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Nana was equally excited and really liked the idea. “I would love to.”
Liu Hai glanced at his son. “Jinhai? What do you think?”
Jinhai was hesitant. No doubt, he knew that she would be safe with them, but he didn’t want to leave her alone either, especially at this stage of her pregnancy.
Nana glanced at him once but said nothing.
Liang Zou said, “I understand your concern Jinhai, but we will also take care of Nana, just like how you do.”
Jinhai sighed. Nana’s happiness was important to him more than anything.
“I don’t have any problem either. But I would regularly come to meet Nana.”
Liang Xiao Dan laughed. “Sure.”
—
As the lunch ended on a happy note, everybody gathered in the hall.
Suddenly, from the entrance, they saw Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge coming in. Huian was sitting in the wheelchair, and Xiang Wei was wheeling her in.
The Liu and Liang family were shocked by their sudden appearance. Nana recalled the conversation at the terrace and silently clutched her dress.
Liu Hai shifted his glance at Jinhai, who looked cold and dangerous. his expression would send anyone running away for their lives.
“Xiang Wei. What a surprise.”
Xiang Wei got a little awkward when he saw Nana’s family.
“We are sorry, Liu Hai. I guess you have a get together with the Liang family. I apologize for the interruption.”
Liu Hai waved his hand. “It’s alright. Why don’t you join us?”
Xiang Qingge said, “No, thank you so much. Actually, we came here because of Huian. She said that she has to say a very important thing to all of us and urgently wanted to come here.”
Liu Chunhua frowned.
Jinhai clenched his fingers into a fist.
Jing gulped, and his cheeky grin faltered. It was the same with Yukira.
Liu Hai maintained his composure. “Oh…is that so?”
Huian said, “Yes. There is something that you must know.”
She was calm and in control of her emotions. She had already decided on it. She felt this was the right thing to do so that she could leave the past behind and move forward.
Shin silently watched her from aside.
Xiang Wei gently put his hand on her shoulder. “Huian. Everybody is here now. You can go ahead.”
Nana was wondering if she was going to confess what happened last night.
Huian looked at everybody. When her gaze met Jinhai, she didn’t fear him this time.
There was dead silence, and everybody was waiting for Huian to speak.
Huian let out a deep breath.
“I want to confess that it was because of me why Nana got hurt the night we were kidnapped. I abandoned her in that shed.”
