It was seven-thirty in the evening when all the guests and media started arriving in the hotel where Chen Banquet was held.
The CEOs of all giant companies showed up with their sons or daughters to attend such a grand event. They hoped to make their relations with Chen’s and Liu’s even stronger. Some had teenage daughters, so they wanted to impress Liu Jing. They knew Liu Jing came back and every girl was aiming to get the title of the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family.
The most excited was the media. They already knew about the special announcement and couldn’t wait till it was formally announced by Chen Guiren and Chen Liling. They were waiting to see if the Tang family would attend this event.
“What do you think? Will the Tang family join?”
“I don’t know, but probably not. How can Tang Suyin save face when her ex’s engagement is going to be announced in front of her?”
“True. But what happened to her? Her company is not in the news anymore. It feels like they have gone into hiding.”
“It is definitely weird. But I must say Nana is more perfect for Chen Jianyu than that shallow Tang Suyin. Do you know how arrogant she was when she was dating him?”
One woman sneered. “Heh! Her high and mighty attitude is reduced to nothing now. She used to look down on us, and now it’s her time.”
They all murmured in hushed voices.
Unknown to them, a waitress serving them their drinks was tightly clutching the tray.

A while later, the Liu and Xiang family made their entrance. The media reporters immediately rushed to them.
“Mr. Liu Hai. What do you think about today’s announcement?”
He spoke seriously and gravely. “I’m not happy with it.”
Silence. Everybody was stunned.
What? Did Liu Hai openly admit his disagreement?
Even Huian and Grandma Liu were taken aback.
One reporter asked, “Sir, do you not accept Miss Nana for your nephew?”
He showed disdain. “Of course not.”
Everybody held their breaths.
“I chose her to be my daughter-in-law. But my…”, he didn’t bother to hide his annoyance, “dear SISTER stole her away from me. If Nana wants it, I’m all to ready stop this engagement right now.”
Everybody looked dumbfounded. Was there a competition between the brother and sister for the same girl?
Jing shook his head helplessly.
They cleared their throats. “That means Miss Nana is really liked by both Chen and Liu family.”
One reporter asked Huian, “Mrs. Liu Huian, what do you think? Miss Tang Suyin is your childhood friend. So, there is a chance that you may be biased towards her. Do you like Miss Nana for Chen Jianyu?”

She smiled. “Yes, why not? I was very happy to see Suyin and Jianyu together, but things didn’t work out between them. I do feel sad for them but we should move on. I also think that Nana is a perfect match for him.”
Liu Hai was very amused to see her talk all maturely.
Huian secretly signaled a reporter. She nodded and came forward.
“Mrs. Liu. The whole media is excited to know when there will be a little prince or princess Liu in your family.”
Liu Jinhai was silent but everyone could feel the sudden drop in the temperature.
Liu Chunhua got a little worried.
Grandma Liu smiled. “Of course there will be good news coming soon. We are also eagerly waiting for it.”
Huian blushed. “Grandma…”
Jing raised his eyebrows. He pouted. “Why would bro need a child now? I’m only twenty, and to me, my bro is more of a parent than mom and dad. I don’t want any nephew or niece to take my place away. Bro still has to raise me into a fine, young adult.”
He cutely tilted his head with a sad face as if he was wronged. “I still need bro. Is it wrong?”
Liu Jinhai smiled and ruffled his hair.
Every single female was struck by their camaraderie. His puppy face was a lethal blow to their poor hearts.
“No, no! You are absolutely right. Such a nice brotherly bond.”
“Liu Jing has just returned from Paris. Obviously, he needs some time to spend with his brother.”
“Once Liu Huian gets pregnant, the whole family will revolve around her and my poor Liu Jing will get sidelined.”
Everyone furiously nodded their heads.
Jing sneakily smirked at her.
Huian’s hand was itching to slap him.
Laugh as much as you want Jing. Because tonight Jinhai will be mine. And whether you want it or not, the good news will definitely come soon.
She tightly clutched her bag feeling the outline of a small bottle.

Assistant Xin was in his car racing to reach the banquet venue. The whole earth shook beneath his feet when he found out the truth. Every letter now made sense to him. He understood why Huian always insisted to drop this matter.
Once he knew the truth, he immediately investigated her recent whereabouts.
And one such record was making him race to the venue as soon as possible. Just fifteen minutes ago, he found out that she bought a small vial of aphrodisiac yesterday.
Obviously, he knows what it is going to be used for. He was pretty sure that she will drug Jinhai tonight. He was desperately trying to call him since a while back, but he wasn’t picking up. He wanted to tell Jinhai first. So he didn’t alarm anybody else.
He quickly wanted to tell every single thing to Jinhai and save him from her plan. He respected him a lot and didn’t want his boss to make any mistake which he will regret later on and be forced to take its responsibility.
I will never let this happen. Mrs. Liu Huian, I will definitely expose you tonight.
