Chapter 379: A planned surprise
Chapter 379: A planned surprise
The night of the welcoming banquet came in a blink of an eye. The Liu and Liang families jointly hosted the event.
Every guest in the banquet was excited to meet the little princes of the Liu family.
“Liu Jinhai and Nana are so lucky to be blessed with twins.”
“Haha, that is true. One can take over the Liu family while the other one can take over the Liang family or wait. He can also take part in Nana’s business.”
“Of course. After all, Natsukashi is like a brand now.”
“I wonder which one of the twins will become a chef?”
The murmurs ensued. The lavish hall was filled with guests.
Liu Hai and Liu Chunhua came down, wheeling the stroller with them. The rest of the families with Nana and Jinhai were already in the front.
Jinhai wanted to sit beside Nana, but Liang Zou and Shin protectively sat on either side of her, not allowing him to hover around Nana.
Jinhai inwardly fumed, but he had no choice. Jing chuckled, seeing his brother helpless.
The spotlight shone on the elder Liu couple, and Liu Hai took the mike.
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for making it to my grandson’s welcoming banquet.”
The guests clapped.
Liu Hai grinned. “Ho Ho Ho. This day has finally arrived. My wife and I have become the grandparents of two adorable princes. Just to make sure that we are on the same page, they are adorable only because they have got their features from yours truly. Ha ha ha!”
Liu Chunhua helplessly shook her head.
The crowd burst into laughter. “Liu Hai never fails to amuse us.”
“Seriously, he is shamelessly taking all the credit.”
Liang Zou and Jinhai’s mouths twitched, and they had an ugly expression on their faces.
“Jinhai!” He whispered angrily, “How shameless can your father get!? Is there any limit?”
Chen Liling sighed. “Ignore him. Big brother was always like that. Nobody can beat his shamelessness.”
Jinhai calmly said, “I am already making plans to cut all my ties with him.”
Liang Zou felt a lot satisfied after hearing this.
On the stage, Liu Hai lifted Jian while Liu Chunhua lifted Nian.
“All of you meet my grandsons – Liu Jian and Liu Nian.” Liu Hai smiled with pride.
They came forward, and the guests got a good look at the twins.
“Gosh! They are so cute!”
One woman nodded. “Liu family genes are too strong.”
“Yes, yes. You can already see how they resemble Liu Jinhai so much.”
“Ah, can I not hold them?”
Her friend snorted. “In your dreams.”
“Booooo…”
“dfjdhdndjjdjkjkshhh…”
The twins giggled, and it was as if an invisible arrow struck everybody’s hearts.
The main event of introducing the twins got over, and the guests got busy in enjoying the banquet while also trying to form new business relationships.
Liu Hai handed the stroller back to her and was attending the other guests the same as Liang Zou and Jinhai.
Nana was with twins, playing with them.
“Congratulations.”
She heard a voice and raised her head. Nana was surprised.
“Ah. Pei Yuan.”
Pei Yuan smiled at her and handed her a bouquet. “For you.”
“Ah. Thank you.”
Pei Yuan had nearly lost it when he saw the twins again. He felt as if somebody was hammering him non-stop and forcing him to look at her children from another man. He wished nothing but to make them disappear from this world. Whenever he saw them, he would imagine Nana in Jinhai’s arms. He would imagine them making love, which was why the twins came into existence.
And every time he had those thoughts, he wanted to break everything that was near him. But he couldn’t lose his temper in the banquet, so he gulped his hatred and disgust.
But tonight, he came with a purpose. To achieve that purpose, he secretly made arrangements to bring Tang Ning and Tang Feng inside the banquet.
When they learned how their daughter, Suyin, was cruelly raped for almost four months and then she died because of back-to-back abortions, Tang Ning wanted nothing but to faint.
They knew she was captured, but they didn’t know that she had already died.
*Flashback*
“Noooo!” Tang Ning broke into tears as Pei Yuan broke out the news to them. Tang Feng was also trembling, and his fingers were clenched into tight fists. Their eyes were bloodshot with rage and hatred.
“Liu Jinhai! How could he! How could he do that to my Suyin! I will not forgive him. I will never forgive him…”
They couldn’t believe that he could put her through such horrible torture.
Tang Ning wiped her tears, and a blazing resolution burned in her eyes.
“Liu Jinhai has to die. I will kill him! Liu Jinhai, you bastard! Start counting your days!”
Pei Yuan smirked. For him, he had got his scapegoats to deal with Jinhai. As for Nana, he knew that they could try to harm her, so he already warned them not to touch her, or he would cut them into small pieces. They would never get the satisfaction of taking revenge from Jinhai.
The Tangs could only nod because only Pei Yuan was capable of keeping them safe from Jinhai.
*Flashback ends*
Pei Yuan came out of his daze and stared at Nana.
Once Jinhai is out of the picture, Nana…you can finally be mine. Only mine…
Tonight was going to be a wonderful night because he had a surprise in store for Jinhai, which would destroy his image and reputation forever. He had already given the task to play the surprise in the middle of the banquet.
It would be akin to dropping a deadly bomb.
Pei Yuan smiled. “I hope we can co-operate in the future for your cooking show.”
Nana nodded. “Of course.”

The Xiang family had also naturally come to the banquet. Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge were busy, so Huian went to the ladies’ room for touchup.
Huian was nervous because Shin said that after the banquet, he was planning to tell the elder Liang couple of their relationship.
Even if she knew it was fake, she couldn’t help but get nervous about their reactions.
As she came out, she bumped into two women.
“Ah, I am sorry.” Huian apologized.
“Ah, look who we have here. The fallen socialite and the discarded daughter-in-law of the Liu family – Liu Huian.”
One woman sneered. Her friend smirked. “Oops. You made a mistake. She is now Xiang Huian. Liu Jinhai would skin you alive if he heard you addressing her as Liu Huian.”
