Liang Zou and Liang Shin stood rooted. Liang Shin carefully observed Nana.
She is the girl that Mom saw in Paris. When I couldn't find her, I thought Mom must have really imagined it, but it was true.
Liang Zou stared at Nana, for God knows how long. It was like he was imprinting her features in his mind and recalling how Liang Xiao Fan looked at her age.
They were the sa.
Liang Zou felt weak in his knees. It felt as if everything was a dream. His gaze blurred in tears.
The daughter for whom he tried his hardest to find all these years was now just like that standing in front of him.
"I"
The guests started to murmur at this point.
"Is everything okay?"
"What happened? Why did the Liang family suddenly get so emotional?"
"They are all looking so shocked at Mrs. Liu Nana. Wait- Hey, pinch if I am wrong, but Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Liu kind of resemble each other, right?" One woman carefully observed them.
"Kind of!? They really look the sa!"
"Yes, it didn't occur to before, but since they are now standing together, it has beco so clear!"
"How is it possible? Does that an what I think it is?"
"But they have only Liang Shin as their son. I never heard of a daughter."
Liang Zou straightened himself. He went to the stage and took the mike.
"Ladies and gentlen. Please continue enjoying the banquet. We will be right back."
The guests were now even more curious.
Liu Hai looked at everybody and said, "Let's go. There are so revelations to be done."
At the side, Long Yani was also stunned.
Is that bitch connected to the Liang family too?
Even she couldn't deny the resemblance and their striking similarity.
Now she was more enraged.
Just with what luck is that slut born!
Long Guozhi was furious. "You are so stupid! If Mrs. Liu really has any connections to the Liang family, then we could have scored their favor too! Your arrogance ruined everything! I'm never going to forgive you!"
"Guozhiyou" She cried.
"Shut up!" And he left, stomping his feet.
The other socialites snickered watching the scene, and Long Yani felt utterly humiliated.
---
Liang Zou slowly walked towards Nana. His hands were trembling. A weird anticipation gripped his chest.
God, please don't let this be a dream.
Nana's emotions were also on the sa wavelength as him. She was finally coming face-to-face with her real family.
Liang Zou found his voice. It choked as he said, "You"
Jinhai said, "Mr. Liang."
Liang Zou didn't want to, but he sohow tore his gaze away from Nana. He looked at Jinhai recognized him. "Liu Jinhai."
"Can we go sowhere private? I believe we have a lot of things to talk about."
He paused and nodded.
Huo Xiao Fan stared at them and silently followed.
---
The Liang, Liu, Chen, Xiang, and Huo family gathered in their lavish study. Although Liang Zou didn't understand why Huo Shen ca and what his connection was, he shrugged it off. They were good friends, so it didn't matter to him.
Jinhai carefully helped Nana sit on a comfortable chair.
Liang Zou couldn't wait anymore and asked, "Can sobody tell what is going on?"
Liang Xiao Dan glanced at Liang Shin. He nodded. She said, "You rember that when we returned to Beijing, I mistook one woman asher?" She looked emotionally at Nana.
Liang Zou clearly rembered it. It was such a scene because Serena had suddenly started blaming and shouting at her.
"It happened because I had seen her in Paris once, five months back."
Nana widened her eyes.
Paris? It was the ti Jinhai and I went for the trip.
Liang Zou exclaid. "What! Why didn't you tell ?"
Liang Shin intervened. "Dad. Mom wasn't sure. She just saw her side profile. And I tried to search for her, but I couldn't find anything either. So we thought not to tell you and get your hopes crushed."
"So what! You could have still told ! Maybe I could have found her if I had tried!"
Liang Zou was furious.
How could they keep such important information from about my daughter!
Liang Shin sighed.
"Zou"
"Don't talk to , Xiao Dan! I deserved to know about it, but you hid it from . You know how desperate we were. I could care less if it was all a misunderstanding."
The others kept silent.
Liang Zou carefully looked at Nana. Liang Xiao Dan held his hands in hers.
"Zou" She was sobbing as she whispered, "I'm sorry. She is our daughter. We finally found our daughterMore like she found us."
Although everybody had a million questions in their minds, they gave Liang family the ti they needed.
Liang Zou patted his wife's shoulders. He then slowly made his way towards Nana. He tremblingly put his hand on Nana's head. "Youyou are my daughter. No doubt about it. Unfortunately, you look exactly like Xiao Dan." Tears ca rushing down his cheeks.
The others coughed.
Liang Xiao Dan's eyebrow twitched.
So petty to take revenge right now!
Nana softly let out a chuckle.
"Idon't even know your na."
Nana also couldn't hold herself back. She felt so good when he patted her.
She was wrong.
They loved her. They didn't abandon her.
She choked on her sobs. "Nana"
Liang Xiao Dan smiled amidst her tears. "Such a fitting na. You were born on July 7th. Nana ans seven in Japanese."
Liang Shin was so happy to et his little sister finally. He never imagined that this day would co because slowly, he was losing all his hopes.
It pained Jinhai to see Nana crying. He softly patted Nana's back.
Liang Zou got alert. He narrowed his eyes at Jinhai. "Liu Jinhaiyou"
Jinhai respectfully bowed. "Nice to et you, father-in-law. I am Nana's husband."
Silence.
"What!?"
The Liang family was dumbfounded.
Well, they could see that Nana was pregnant. But it was still hard to believe that the daughter with whom they just reunited was already married.
Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan looked at their daughter, who was now married and now pregnant too. Her bulging belly made them even more emotional.
Grandparents
"Zouwe are going to be grandparents" Liang Xiao Dan bent and caressed Nana's belly.
He nodded.
He thought that this was his best birthday ever. He beca a father and grandfather at the sa ti.
Liang Shin alternated his gaze between Nana and Jinhai.
My sister is married? To Liu Jinhai?
He gritted his teeth. "YouMy sister is only twenty-three. How could you make her marry you when she is so young!? And she is even pregnant!"
His sister complex was already starting to show up.
Everybody in the Liu and Chen family shared a glance at each other. Huian stiffened at that mory of the banquet. It was still all shocking for her that her doctor turned out to be Nana's big brother.
Wellher pregnancy and marriage was a whole another story.
Jinhai wasn't offended. He nodded. "I understand your concern, brother-in-law. But believe that I love Nana from the bottom of my heart. Even if she is pregnant and married so young, I assure you that I will not let it hamper Nana's freedom and career. If the need arises, I am ready to beco a house-husband."
Brother-in-law my foot! Liang Shin cursed. How dare he address with that title! I have not yet accepted you!
"Pfft." Liu Hai cracked in laughter. But then he cleared his throat. "I'm sorry. Let introduce ourselves." He introduced everybody present to the Liang family.
The Liang family looked at each other and slowly nodded. It was all very overwhelming.
Liang Xiao Dan cupped Nana's face in her hands. Her eyes were shining with tears.
"Where were you all this ti?"
"I"
Nana thought about it for a mont to organize her thoughts. She had so much to say to them and so much to ask.
"I was in the Sunshine orphanage until three years old, and thenthe Yu family adopted ."
Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan were stupefied.
Our daughter was in the orphanage? We, her parents, were alive, and she was living in an orphanage!?
Liang Zou asked, "But how did it all happen!?"
His face was livid in anger.
Who dared to leave his daughter in the orphanage? Just who could do this!?
Jinhai said, "To answer that question, you must know what exactly happened that night in the hospital twenty-three years ago."
Liang Zou clenched his fingers into a fist. "We don't know anything. We only know that Nana wasn't in her crib when I went back. She wasgone. I don't know who took her and why!"
Huo Shen was silently listening to everything.
Nana pursed her lips. She clasped her hands together. Jinhai pressed her shoulder and nodded.
She said, "I know who took from the hospital, but I don't know why."
Liang Xiao Dan was shocked. "You know? Who is that person? Tell !"
She swore to make that person's life hell.
Liang Shin's hands were itching too, to get his hands on that bastard who took away his baby sister.
Before Nana could say the na, the door opened, and a voice ca from behind.
"It was who took Nana, Xiao Dan."
