Chapter 287: Liang banquet (3)

Nana had also heard Liang Zou’s short but funny speech. It cracked her in laughter as well.

She looked at her tummy.

Grandfather…

Wouldn’t he jump in happiness if he came to know that I’m pregnant?

Nana grinned. She couldn’t wait to see his expression!

Meiling said, “Mam, the starters are all served now.”

Nana nodded. “En. Let’s work on the main course.”

In the banquet hall, Jianyu, Jing, the twins, and Huo Liwei still were utterly dumbstruck. 

Huo Liwei asked, “Dad! What is going on? How is Xiao Fan here?”

But Huo Liwei said nothing.

At Liang Zou’s side, guests were congratulating him and giving expensive gifts one after the other.

Liang Xiao Dan and Liang Zou saw Huo Shen from afar and beamed. They made their way towards him.

Jianyu’s side also observed them.

“Shen!”

Liang Xiao Dan exclaimed happily. “You came!”

Liang Zou grinned. “Shen. It’s been so long!”

Huo Shen faintly smiled. “Indeed.”

“Remember how in the University, we were punished for weeding out the whole garden because we missed the deadline to submit the project?”

Liang Zou laughed. Liang Xiao Dan smiled. “Well, you both had pissed me off really bad. So you both deserved it.”

Why was Xiao Fan acting like she met after him after so long? And what University?

On the other side, Liu Hai said, “Jianyu, let it be for now. Jinhai knows about it. Everything will be cleared at the right time.”

Jianyu was surprised. “Bro knows what is going on?”

He nodded.

“She is not who you are thinking it to be.”

Jianyu hesitated but agreed in the end.

Liang Zou asked, “What have you been up to?” His gaze went at Huo Liwei. “Oh, he must be your son, Huo Liwei. Am I right?”

Liwei absent-mindedly nodded.

Liang Zou smiled. “Well, young lad, you are doing a fine job in handling Huo Corps. Shen must be proud of you.”

Liwei awkwardly smiled.

“Wait, where is Shin? Let me introduce you two.”

Liang Xiao Dan rolled her eyes. “Do you think he would like to even look at your face now after how you made a joke out of him.”

Liang Zou shrugged. “Such a baby he is to whine at a corner.”

Liang Xiao Dan then asked, “Shen…do you know anything about Xiao Fan?”

Huo Liwei widened his eyes. He looked at her, stunned.

Wait a minute. Is she…

Jianyu and the others were a little far so they couldn’t hear her.

Huo Shen froze.

Huo Xiao Fan was watching everything from a distance. She also noticed Huo Shen stiffen a little. His expression had turned grim.

She must be definitely asking about me.

Liwei asked, “You…How are you related to her?”

Liang Xiao Dan looked surprised. “Shen never told you?”

Liwei shook his head.

Liang Xiao Dan glared at Huo Shen. “Shen! How rude! Didn’t you tell him about us? How could you? We are such good friends! Hmph!”

She looked at Liwei and smiled. “Your father is terrible. Xiao Fan is my-“

“Madam Liang.”

A maid called out. “The main course is almost ready. If you check it once, then we can proceed for the table setting.”

“Oh, right! I am coming.” She nodded.

Liang Xiao Dan said, “Huo Shen, Huo Liwei, I’m sorry. Just give me a few minutes. I have to check the dinner arrangements.”

Huo Shen said nothing much and just nodded.

When the others were puzzled and confused about Liang Xiao Dan, Huian was drowning in her own worries.

This was the only chance to meet Nana and confess everything she knew. Even though Jinhai was still there, she could still find Nana alone for a few minutes.

Who knew when she would be able to meet Nana later on?

Huian looked at Xiang Wei. “Dad.”

“Yes, dear.” He smiled.

“I will just…roam around for a while.”

“Okay. I will take you.”

Huian pursed her lips. “No…I will go alone.”

Xiang Qingge said, “Dear, how can you go alone?”

“Mom, I can also run this wheelchair. There are buttons over here. I…know how to do it.”

Xiang Wei sighed. “Are you sure?”

She nodded.

“Alright. But call me if you face any trouble, okay!”

Huian smiled. “Yes, Dad.”

She switched on the control and moved the jockey type handle to run her wheelchair and change the direction.

She must be in the kitchen. I have to go there. Tonight, Nana must know everything about Jinhai!

—

Nana was in the kitchen cooking the last main course dish. Jinhai was strictly supervising her so that she doesn’t tire out.

Nana sighed. “Jinhai, I know what I’m doing. You don’t have to worry so much. I have been doing this for almost four years now.”

Jinhai said, “No, you work too much. If I hadn’t been here, you would have done all the tasks that Meiling did as well.”

My husband knows me more than I know myself.

“Don’t you have to meet the other CEO’s?”

Jinhai smirked. “They should come and meet me. Not the other way around.”

Nana rolled her eyes. Well, that is true too.

Suddenly, from the corner of the eye, Jinhai saw a familiar figure approaching their way. Huian was slowly making her way with her wheelchair.

Jinhai narrowed his gaze. He was tapping his finger on the station.

Jinhai blocked Nana’s view and said, “I will just come back in a minute, okay?”

Nana nodded. “Okay.”

As soon as he went outside, Nana went over to the other side to check on the other dishes.

Liang Xiao Dan entered the kitchen, and the delicious smell of food hit her nostrils.

“Mmm!! So yummy! It smells so delicious!”

Meiling came forward and greeted her. But she looked at her in confusion and bewilderment.

This woman looks so similar to Mam Nana. Am I seeing things now?

“Good evening, Madam.”

Meiling was still in a daze.

Liang Xiao Dan smiled. “Good evening, dear. I must really say that I’m impressed. The aroma is itself alone to drool on the food.”

Meiling smiled. “Thank you, Mam. It’s our pleasure. Our owner is just here. She would be coming here at any moment.”

“Right. I came to taste test, but I think there is no need now. But I do want to meet your owner! I really want to thank her for agreeing to this banquet.”

“Meiling I have kept the desserts in the fridge, make sure you check on them thirty minutes later-“

Nana came in, relaying one instruction when her gaze slowly went to the woman standing beside Meiling.

She froze.

Liang Xiao Dan on her side froze as well.

It felt as though time had stopped when their gazes met.

Liang Xiao Dan looked at her, stunned. She looked at Nana from top to bottom. It, even more, shocked her when she saw her pregnant belly.

She…she is the same girl I saw in Paris.

That time it was Nana’s side profile, but now she was in full view.

She could see and hear nothing else as if only she and Nana stood in this whole world. Tears filled her eyes.

No doubt about it.

Nana looked like what she looked like in the past. It felt as if she saw the young version of herself when she was in her twenties.

“You…” Liang Xiao Dan breathlessly mumbled.

But Nana’s reaction was different. Her gaze turned cold. She was trembling in anger, and she clenched her fingers into a fist.

Nana furiously exclaimed. “What are you doing here, Huo Xiao Fan!?”

—

Huian was running her wheelchair towards the kitchen. When she looked through it, she couldn’t find Jinhai.

Thank God. It seems that he is somewhere else. This is my chance.

But then suddenly, her wheelchair stopped functioning.

She frowned. She was moving the jockey, but it was not taking the wheelchair any more forward.

A voice came.

“Going somewhere, ex-wife?”

Huian froze. She sat straight and didn’t even move a muscle. Her mouth was rapidly opening and closing in an attempt to say something, but nothing came out.

Jinhai…

Dread and panic gripped her chest.

She nervously and slowly turned her head and saw that Jinhai was holding onto the two handles of her wheelchair. That was what was preventing it from going further.

She blinked her eyes. She lifted her gaze to look at him. Jinhai was coolly smiling at her.

“Glad to know that you can move now.”

Huian said nothing. More like extreme fear made her unable to utter anything.

“But you know that if I want, then I can bring you back to that same comatose state, right?”

Huian widened her eyes.

“Now you must be wondering why I am reminding you this? I already told you in the hospital that I would do nothing more to hurt you. So why?”

Jinhai slowly bent down and folded his arms on her wheelchair’s handles.

“Why don’t you guess?”

Huian eyes stung in tears. She wanted to run away.

Jinhai sighed. “You make a mistake, and then you start crying.”

Huian furrowed her brows.

What mistake?

Jinhai tilted his head. “Do you think I won’t know?”

Silence.

“Since when did Nana start to call you just by your name, Huian?”
