Chapter 822: Chapter 663: Miss Ning and My Fiancé Were High School Classmates
Jin SuYan showed a look of admiration and respect akin to a younger generation facing an elder towards Xia Youqing, "When I was young, I used to go with my mom and dad to some parties at uncles’ and aunts’ houses where I would see Auntie. Auntie was always the center of attention whenever she appeared. I have a deep impression of you; you might not remember me because I generally hung out with a group of kids. Compared to you, I interacted more with Miss Ning and the younger generation of your family."
At this point, Jin SuYan’s eyes suddenly brightened as if she just remembered something, "Aunt Xia, what a coincidence! You know, last time at the Four Seasons Art Gallery event, I chatted with Miss Ning and found out she and my fiancé were classmates in high school."
The expressions on the faces of the guests instantly changed several times.
Jin SuYan is truly something.
In just a few sentences, every word revealed important information.
While keeping the conversation sharp, she redirected focus onto herself and also cued several people and topics of interest to the audience.
The host immediately asked in shock to Jin SuYan, "SuYan, did I hear that correctly?! You’re engaged?! You just said your fiancé and Miss Ning were high school classmates?!"
"You didn’t hear wrong; I also just heard it. SuYan mentioned the fiancé."
"Oh my god, SuYan, you’re engaged?"
"SuYan, do you know Yiyi as well?!"
"SuYan, when did you get engaged?!"
"SuYan, such great news, how come we haven’t heard a peep?!"
Apart from the host, there were many other guests who followed up with shocked questions directed at Jin SuYan.
Jin SuYan’s gaze swept across the crowd, and a radiant, touching smile filled with happiness and shyness appeared on her face, "Not long ago. Because it’s just an engagement, I didn’t want to make it too big, so I only informed close relatives and friends."
"SuYan, you must get along very well with your fiancé, right? Otherwise, your father wouldn’t want to give you away at such a young age."
Jin SuYan immediately looked at Jin Quan with a smile, "My dad really is very reluctant. When my fiancé proposed to me on that day, I made a video call to my parents to tell them about it and asked for their opinions. They told me everything was up to me, as long as I felt happy. No matter what I did, they would support me. I thought my parents were not reluctant, considering my fiancé had been known to them since young. Our families are very familiar with each other."
At this point, Jin SuYan’s eyes started to redden, "But that night, my dad got drunk and came into my room, sitting by my bedside. He said some unforgettable words to me, swaying his head. Actually, we had never talked like this from childhood to now, and I remember my tears never stopped from beginning to end."
She said, "I never thought, just agreeing to my fiancé’s proposal, not even married yet, he acted as if I was about to get married soon, drunk and pouring out his heart to me, advising me to not worry, just to live the life I want, no matter what happens, he would be supporting me from behind. He held my hand and didn’t let go. We talked for a very long time. Actually, it was mostly him talking, but when I heard those words, my tears just flowed involuntarily. At that moment, I felt like my mom and dad were the ones who loved me the most in the world. For a moment, I suddenly didn’t want to get married, wanted to stay with my parents always, listening to their ramblings, accompanying them into their old age, no questions asked."
Jin SuYan spoke while choking up, as if the events of that day had indeed left a lasting impression on her.
A young female guest beside her immediately picked up a napkin and gently wiped the tears from her face, patting her back to comfort her.
Jin Quan, moved by her words, showed a mixed expression on his face, with feelings of being touched, reluctant, and a bit embarrassed.
Then, he explained to everyone, "I was just drunk; I don’t remember what I said afterward. My daughter never brought it up again. If Yanyan hadn’t mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about it."
The host, looking moved, said, "Fatherly love is often so reserved, holding too much reluctance for his daughter in the heart, but only in the depths of night and under the influence of alcohol does it reveal itself slightly."
Jin Quan nodded, looking sentimental at the host, "Even though we know the other party is a good kid familiar to us, I had thought about keeping my daughter a few more years and having her marry later wouldn’t be too late. But people must keep moving forward. Even if not now, she still has to leave her parents someday to have a lover, children, a family. Since the result is the same, she’s met the right one she likes now, why not follow her wishes, rather than make things difficult for the child just because of my little bit of reluctance."
At this, Jin Quan showed a bitter smile on his face, "No matter how much parents are reluctant to let go of their children, they can’t accompany them to the end. I must entrust my daughter to someone who can accompany her well into old age and take good care of her."
With Jin SuYan announcing her engagement, she instantly became the focus again.
Most of the guests were aware that she might be having the intention of stealing the limelight from Xia Youqing.
Some good actors showed an expression of "Wow! I’m moved!" on their faces, while others looked disinterested at Jin Quan—
"You keep bragging about how the other person is a good-known kid, what’s there to be reluctant about?!"
"SuYan must have encountered love, which gave her the courage to step into marriage at such a beautiful age."
The host, naturally, was for the show’s ratings, trying his best to dig out the hot topics that could trigger heated discussions, the highlights the audience most wanted to see.
Xie Yizun’s sister, Jin SuYan’s fiancé, Aunt Xia, and the wealthy family stories behind the Jin family...
Thinking like this, the host almost couldn’t maintain his composure.
He thought once the filming of this episode was done, he must suggest to the show team to give bonuses to the guest recruitment team.
He felt the program with Jin SuYan, Jin Quan, Xia Youqing, and Xie Yizun as treasures would undoubtedly become one of the dark horses of this year’s variety shows that attracted the most attention.
Jin SuYan, indeed, did not let him down, quickly throwing out information related to her fiancé, "Maybe due to my parents’ good relationship since long ago, I have always felt I would have a very good husband. That I would have someone who treats me very well, and I surely would be very much loved by him. Since I was young, this image had always been in my mind, so no matter my age, whatever career I pursued, no matter how successful, I thought it wasn’t worth sacrificing love and happiness for. Because no matter how things turned out, I always believed I was destined to have a very happy future."1314
