Chapter 76 - Formalizing the Betrothal (3)
Father Nie, smiling proudly, said, “A real daughter is much better than a daughter-in-law. You might have found your son, but I have found my daughter as well.”
Having said that, he waved at Nie AnAn, “Come over here, AnAn.”
Nie AnAn nodded, let go of Nie ChengFeng, walked over and stood docilely by Father Nie’s side.
“Old Qin, I am going to borrow your venue and announce to everyone that we have found our lost daughter, Nie AnAn.” Mother Nie and Father Nie, standing on both sides of Nie AnAn, smiled happily.
As soon as he had finished saying that, the large banquet all fell into complete silence.
Immediately after that, someone asked in surprise, “Old Nie, I thought you’ve said 18 years ago, your daughter had….”
“Exactly, that’s what we thought too, but I guess there are miracles in this world!” Having said that, he suddenly turned and looked at Huo YanXiao. His tone had an added sincerity. “In addition, I want to thank Huo YanXiao for taking care of my daughter all these years.”
Mother Nie also nodded to one side. “YanXiao, we had planned to pay you a visit to thank you, but now we have run into you here! Thank you so much for taking care of AnAn all these years. She was so well taken care of and it allowed us to finally find each other. Thank you so much!”
Huo YanXiao merely nodded nonchalantly. “Uncle and Aunty, there’s no need to thank me.”
Nie ChengFeng, at this time, also walked up to Huo YanXiao and said with a smile, “That’s right, thank you so much for giving me such a nice little sister.”
Huo YanXiao raised his brows and gave him a very cryptic look.
From one side, Qin ZiYi, who had heard the entire exchange, looked at both Nie AnAn and Nie ChengFeng passionately once again.
Over the last few days, she had undergone a lot of emotional roller coaster.
First, she wanted to marry Nie ChengFeng, but Nie ChengFeng wasn’t interested in her. Then, she met Huo YanXiao at a banquet. He was fairly handsome too, so she made him her new target.
Then, she had tried Nie AnAn’s cooking and realized that men were extras and delicacies were the way to go.
So, she was still locked onto Huo YanXiao. She figured she’d be able to have Nie AnAn’s cooking all the time if she could marry Huo YanXiao.
Then, she learned that Huo YanXiao was her half-brother, so she figured she’d just wait for Huo YanXiao to rejoin the Qin’s and bring with him the homeless Nie AnAn.
And now, she had just learned that Nie AnAn was also part of the Nie’s. She was utterly baffled.
So her target was still Nie ChengFeng after all?!
The only difference was that her intention had switched from Nie ChengFeng to the Nie’s daughter’s cooking!
As Qin ZiYi continued to figure out her own future, the Qin’s and the Nie’s had also wrapped up their chitchatting.
Qin Hai, standing in the middle of the platform, said to all the guests below, “Hi, everyone. I trust that you all know the purpose of the banquet today? But, still, I will make the introduction officially.”
Having said that, he patted the shoulder of Huo YanXiao, who was standing next to him, and said, “This is my real son YanXiao. It is just that YanXiao’s mother is no longer around. Out of respect for her, he will not be changing his surname and will remain Huo YanXiao. And, from today forward, the Qin’s and the Huo’s will be working even closer together!”
As soon as he finished the announcement, all sorts of ideas came to the guests’ minds.
Mrs. Qin only made her appearance briefly before she used the reason of not feeling too well to excuse herself. Obviously, she’d never accept Huo YanXiao as part of the Qin’s.
As for Qin ZiMing, would he really stand by and watch someone take away half of what was his?
Yet, Qin Hai had already announced that the two companies would be working together. The subtext of that was, regardless of whether his wife and his son were alright with that, Huo YanXiao was still his son.
And what about Huo YanXiao’s reputation?
A man who was able to build his entire empire from the ground up by the young, young age of 26. And what about all the companies that he had acquired over the years? His ruthlessness in business was obvious.
It seemed that dramas would continue to unfold at the Qin’s.
