Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094: Your Surname Is Shen

Lian Qingyang stared straight at Jin Yan, even though there were people all around, laughing and teasing, in his eyes, there was only Jin Yan left.

Jin Yan blushed as he looked at her, her heart racing; after a few days of not seeing him, the longing in her heart was overwhelming.

Jin Yan lifted her dress and walked step by step towards Lian Qingyang, automatically ignoring the laughter around her. In this dress, looking in the mirror, she was even amazed by herself.

"Xiao Yang, aren’t you going to snap out of it?" Jin Yan stepped forward and waved her hand in front of him.

Lian Qingyang instinctively grabbed her soft, fair hand; it felt very good in his grasp.

"Gold, don’t call me Xiao Yang anymore. You can call me Brother Lian, or Qingyang." Lian Qingyang corrected her.

Jin Yan shot him a glance and said, "No, I will call you Xiao Yang. Who told you to call me Gold?"

Initially, when Jin Yan heard the nickname Gold, she found it distasteful. Gold—a nickname so vulgar. But, as Lian Qingyang called her that uniquely, gradually, Jin Yan began to like it. She wondered if it was just her illusion.

When Lian Qingyang called her ’Gold’ in a low, deep voice, she always heard a bit of affection in those words.

"Gold sounds beautiful." Lian Qingyang looked at her with his dark eyes, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her into his embrace, as the teasing laughter around them grew even louder.

"Thank you for being willing to marry me. For the rest of our lives, we will certainly be happy."

Lian Qingyang tightly embraced her and whispered in her ear.

Jin Yan’s eyes sparkled, her cheeks reddened, even redder than if she had applied rouge.

At the Mingzhu Hotel, when Lian Qingyang and Jin Yan arrived, the Lian Family was all present. Just introducing the Lian Family left Jin Yan confused.

She naturally recognized Grandpa Lian.

She also knew Mr. Lian, but she didn’t know Second Uncle Lian, Second Aunt, Third Uncle Lian, or Third Aunt and their family.

When introduced to Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling, Jin Yan was surprised, "You two must be twins, you look so beautiful, as if carved from the same mold."

Jin Yan had seen twins before, Tang Yue’s twins, Zaozao and Chenchen, didn’t look alike. But, twins as beautiful and elegant as Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling, she was seeing for the first time. Jin Yan was intrigued, unable to tell who was Lian Qingling and who was Lian Qingzhi.

"Sister-in-law, I am Qingling."

Lian Qingzhi said playfully.

"Sister-in-law, don’t listen to her nonsense, I am Qingling." Lian Qingling smiled.

Jin Yan looked at Lian Qingzhi, then at Lian Qingling, completely bewildered. They were wearing the same clothes, and their smiles were identical, making it impossible to tell them apart.

"Qingzhi, don’t be mischievous." Lian Qingyang couldn’t stand it anymore and said, "The playful one is Qingzhi, and this is Qingling."

"Oh." Jin Yan had just recognized them, and then the two sisters started switching places.

"Sister-in-law, who am I?"

"Sister-in-law, who am I?"

Lian Qingzhi and Lian Qingling even sounded the same, with identical intonation and the same questions.

Jin Yan: "..."

This game was no fun at all, and she looked to Lian Qingyang for help.

"Let’s go, let’s not pay attention to their childish game." Lian Qingyang took Jin Yan by the waist and left.

Lian Qingling and Lian Qingzhi exchanged glances, and Lian Qingzhi murmured, "Qingyang is too protective of our sister-in-law."

"Yes, look how cute our sister-in-law is with her confused expression." Lian Qingling nodded in agreement. Although they didn’t usually like it when people couldn’t tell them apart, in front of Jin Yan, seeing her so oblivious was just adorable.

The engagement ceremony was filled with relatives from both sides. Although not many people were present, it was grand, with no lack of necessary etiquette.

Suddenly, the arrival of Shen Qingqing and Fan Ming caused the joyous atmosphere to instantly become tense.

Lian He, being the father of the groom and given his past relationship with Shen Qingqing, stepped forward proactively and blocked their path.

"Dad," Shen Qingqing looked at the familiar Lian He, her eyes reddened. This was her father from childhood, though Lian He was serious and not fond of talking, materially, he never let her down.

"Your last name is Shen."

Lian He did not respond, instead calmly retorted.

Blood cannot represent everything; the emotions nurtured since childhood exist, but those emotions were long gone after what Shen Qingqing did.

The child in Xiaotong’s belly, and Shen Qingqing’s plot against Tang Yue with her maternal family—those old feelings vanished entirely.

Your last name is Shen.

These three short words caused Shen Qingqing to stagger a step. She took a deep breath, her eyes reddening; she looked at Lian He and said, "I know, because you found your biological daughter, you don’t want to acknowledge me."

"You’re wrong." Lian He interrupted her, not continuing the topic but changing it instead, "Today is my son Xiao Yang’s engagement ceremony. If you are here to offer your blessings, your blessings are received, and you can leave. If you are here to cause trouble, then..."

Lian He didn’t finish his sentence, but his expression already darkened.

"I, of course, am here to offer blessings. Xiao Yang and I grew up together as siblings. Now he’s getting engaged, I just came to see." Shen Qingqing struggled to continue.

Fan Ming stood by, supporting Shen Qingqing, feeling unable to stay put.

"Mr. Lian, glad to meet you." Fan Ming extended his hand and introduced himself, "I am Fan Ming, the Executive CEO of D Jewelry in the Huaxia Region."

"Hello, Mr. Fan."

Lian He shook hands lightly before saying, "Today is my son’s engagement ceremony, no business talk."

"Shen Qingqing, if you have any shame, go back." Lian Tong looked at Shen Qingqing’s face, only feeling the anger in her heart held back repeatedly. The first child meant so much to Lian Tong; perhaps only she truly understood.

Seeing the original culprit, Shen Qingqing now, Lian Tong wished to scold her harshly, just putting on an act.

Lian Tong felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.

"Aunt." Shen Qingqing looked at Lian Tong with grievance, "What happened before wasn’t really me."

"Ha, I cannot bear your calling me Aunt." Lian Tong coldly retorted sarcastically, and said, "Brother, don’t let irrelevant people delay Xiao Yang’s engagement."

"Mr. Fan." Lian He looked at Fan Ming, clearly signaling it was time to leave.

Fan Ming’s face changed multiple times, and just as Shen Qingqing was about to say something, Fan Ming forcibly dragged her away. Once out of the venue, Fan Ming let go of her hand and asked, "Qingqing, what on earth did you do?"
