Chapter 15

Zou Lanhua patted her hand. “I’m a little surprised. You’re usually so gentle in front of us, but you’re so strong at work. Qingchi also said before that you’re very different from usual when you’re working. I’ve finally seen it today.”

“Not really…”

Zou Lanhua interrupted Jin Nian halfway through her sentence, “You and Qingchi have reached the age where you should start a family. Now that Qingchi’s career is on the right track, what are your plans after you get married?”

“What plans?” Jin Nian was stunned for a moment. “I should be able to go to work normally.”

“I think, at your age. Since you two are going to be married, you should have children as soon as possible. You have never given birth before, so you don’t understand. Women recover faster when they have children younger. Moreover, Qingchi is completely capable of supporting a family now. There’s no need for you to work so hard. It’s so easy to take care of your husband and children at home, wash clothes and cook.”

Jin Nian had asked Lin Qianyu to fire her just now to scare him. Although she was not a workaholic, she had been taught to be self-reliant, regardless of gender. Even after getting married, she had never thought of being a housewife.

For some reason, Jin Nian had a rebellious mentality. “I can take care of a family too. You can ask Qingchi if he’s willing to resign.”

Zou Lanhua was stunned for a moment, but she quickly smiled. “Your income can’t compare to the Qingchi. His career is on the rise now, and he’s even nominated for that film festival…”

“The Asian Film Festival,” Jin Nian said lightly. “Yeah, he’s already out of the country.”

Zou Lanhua was very proud. “Mom knows that you’ve suffered a lot with Qingchi all these years. Fortunately, you’ve had a good time now. Your life will get better and better.” Jin Nian lowered her head and frowned in a place where she could not see. She did not know what to say. Just then, her parents came up, so Jin Nian went up to them.

When Tan Siyun and Zou Lanhua met, both of their smiles were fake. “In-law,” Zou Lanhua said politely, “you look really pretty today. You don’t look like your age when you stand next to Jin Nian.”

Tan Siyun’s lips curled up. “Oh, time waits for no man. I’m already old.”

Zou Lanhua smiled. “How are you old? I can’t tell…”

The banquet would start in a while, and the guests were all chatting.

Jin Nian heard Tan Siyun say, “Lu An is really thoughtful. He said that today’s banquet will be free of charge. We can’t let them spend money. We’re not related to them. We can’t take advantage of them.”

“I think you’re quite happy.” Jin Chengwen smiled. Tan Siyun glared at him.

The banquet began. A banquet table that could accommodate fourteen people. At the main table, other than the parents of both parties, the rest were the closest family members of both parties. Jin Nian’s family had fewer relatives than Jiang Qingchi’s family. Her grandmother, who was close to Jin Nian, had passed away three years ago. There were also people following the process of the engagement banquet. The two families were not the type to dawdle. Many unnecessary procedures had been canceled long ago.

However, for things like exchanging engagement rings and giving speeches to the parents of both parties, this was an indispensable sense of ceremony. The parents of both parties had just finished speaking and were about to start the banquet when someone suddenly pushed open the door of the private room. Everyone subconsciously looked over. He saw a man in a black suit with his hair neatly combed. He wore white gloves and held a bouquet of pure black roses in his hand. He asked politely, “May I ask who is Mr. Jiang Qingchi?”

Jiang Qingchi was puzzled, but he still went up to him. “It’s me. What’s wrong?”

“Someone sent you a bouquet of black roses. You need to sign for it personally.” As the man spoke, he brought a large bouquet of black roses to Jiang Qingchi. The black roses formed a sharp contrast with the festive red of the venue, like an ominous curse.

The opening ceremony was suddenly interrupted, and everyone looked at them. Jin Nian had difficulty breathing. It was her first time seeing a pure black flower, and she felt that it was a little strange. Jiang Qingchi was also surprised. He took the flowers, signed it, and asked the man who sent the flowers, “What’s the name of the person who sent the flowers?”

The man waited for Jiang Qingchi to finish signing, then nodded slightly and said, “I’m really sorry, but the information of the sender has to be kept confidential. However, the other party has a message for me to deliver to you.”

“What is it?” Jiang Qingchi raised his head.

“He said, ‘He wishes you to stay in the night forever, to sink forever, and never rise again.’”

“Pa!” Someone’s chopsticks fell to the ground, and now it was a mess.
