Chapter 144: We stand together through thick and thin, never give up

"Thank you all for coming here today to witness my engagement with Mr. Lin Zhenyan." Qin Wu's voice was steady and powerful, echoing throughout the hall. "The secular perspective may be biased, but the relationship between Mr. Lin Zhenyan and I is genuine and firm. I am willing to spend my whole life protecting him, never leaving him, and standing by him through thick and thin."

Having said that, he turned around and looked at Lin Jianyan affectionately, then drank the wine in the glass.

Lin Jianyan's heart was filled with emotion and excitement. He took the wine glass handed to him by Qin Wu and slowly raised it, "Thanks to Mr. Qin Wu's kindness, I will also walk hand in hand with him without fear of rumors." After speaking, he also drank the wine in the glass.

"good!"

Gu Weiguang shouted "good" as he stood among the guests, clapping his hands. He grinned with a sincere smile on his face.

Standing next to him were Su Kang, Chen Haowen and Zhou Mu. They all had blessing smiles on their faces and clapped along with Gu Weiguang.

Zhou Mu was a gentle person to begin with, and at this moment he had a gentle smile on his face, clapping his hands gently, his eyes full of blessings, as if this scene had touched the softest part of his heart, and he sincerely hoped that the couple on stage could continue to be happy.

There is Su Kang between him and Chen Haowen, and it seems that their problem has not been resolved.

The guests around were influenced by them and gradually raised their hands. Whether it was sincere or fake, more and more people joined in the applause. For a while, the applause was like thunder, echoing in the banquet hall.

Lin Jianyan looked at them, his eyes slightly red. He and Qin Wu held each other's hands tightly, feeling this hard-earned acceptance. His heart was filled with emotion and relief, and his originally hanging heart slowly settled down.

Everyone in the Qin family was also pleased. Old Master Qin said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you two have done it. I am relieved."

Afterwards, Mr. Qin solemnly spoke a few words of blessing and expectation before officially announcing the start of the banquet.

After Mr. Qin left, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his expression became cold and serious. He leaned slightly and whispered to the butler who was standing respectfully beside him: "Please ask those people who just said something unpleasant to hear to leave, and check it out by the way. If there is any cooperation, it should be stopped as soon as possible."

The butler supported him and nodded respectfully, "Yes, I will take care of it."

Regardless of what others were saying, Qin Wu took Lin Jinyan and walked to Gu Weiguang and the others, smiled and patted Gu Weiguang on the shoulder, "You did a good job today, thank you."

Gu Weiguang raised his chin proudly, "Of course, who says we are good brothers? How can your engagement party be held without anyone's support?"

Su Kang laughed and said, "To be honest, you scared us today. Fortunately, A Guang reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been a dull moment."

Qin Wu curled his lips and smiled wantonly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's a dull moment. Ah Yan and I don't need their blessings anyway. We just want to inform them today."

Gu Weiguang gave a thumbs up in admiration, "As expected of Qin Wu, so generous!"

Lin Jianyan smiled and said, "Enjoy your meals and drinks. Qin Wu and I will go to the side to talk."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Lin Jianyan nodded slightly, and then pulled Qin Wu to a quieter corner on the side of the hall. When there was no one around, his smile immediately fell.

He stretched out his hands, pinched Qin Wu's cheeks angrily, gently pulled them apart, and said with a hint of resentment: "Are you satisfied now?"

Although there was blame in her tone, her eyes could not hide her doting and affection, as if this was just an intimate interaction unique to them, and any "anger" was just a sweet disguise.

Qin Wu was held by his cheek and said vaguely: "Satisfied, but still a little dissatisfied."

Lin Jianyan let go of his hand, "What else do you want?"

Qin Wu hugged him and rested his chin on his shoulder. "It's a pity that Mom and Uncle De didn't come to this occasion today. It doesn't seem so perfect."

Lin Jianyan: "Fortunately you didn't invite them. If they were here, they wouldn't be able to stand steadily."

"And I'm not saying anything bad to you. You didn't even discuss this with me. If you don't want your company anymore, how much will you lose? The stock price will definitely plummet."

Lin Jianyan poked him angrily, causing Qin Wu to laugh, "What are you doing? Don't you care? Losing that little bit of shares won't make me bankrupt. Besides, even if I go bankrupt, you can still support me, right?"

Seeing that Lin Jianyan was still a little unhappy, Qin Wu gently coaxed him: "Don't worry, you won't lose much."

"When you have time, invite Mom and Dad to come over for dinner. Grandpa and his family have always wanted the two families to have a meal together and chat. Do you think it's okay? Hmm?"

Lin Jianyan lowered his eyes and said softly, "I just think it's unnecessary. Even if there wasn't this banquet today, I would have always been with you. Why bother to show off like this? You won't gain anything but lose."

Qin Wu held Lin Jinyan's shoulders with both hands, and gently forced him to look directly into his eyes. "Wife, I don't know why you feel so insecure, but I am willing to give you enough security."

"As long as I, Qin Wu, am willing, there is no such thing as gain or loss. I want to declare my feelings for you to the whole world, and let everyone know that I can't live without you. Those so-called business losses are far less important to me than you."

Lin Jianyan looked at Qin Wucheng's sincere eyes and softened. "I understand your feelings, but I'm worried that this will bring you too much trouble. There is still a long way to go, and we will inevitably face more pressure."

"With you by my side, I can handle any pressure." Qin Wu hugged Lin Jianyan again, "As for inviting my parents to dinner, it's settled. I believe they will be happy for us, too."

Lin Jianyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell them tomorrow."

Qin Wu kissed him, "That's right, you have nothing to be afraid of with me by your side."

Qin Wu coaxed the people, and the two of them sorted out their emotions and returned to the banquet hall. At this time, the guests in the hall were either chatting or tasting delicious food, and the atmosphere was still lively.

Many people saw Qin Wu and came over with wine glasses in hand, their faces full of warm smiles, as if the incident at the banquet had never happened, without any hesitation or embarrassment. They greeted Qin Wu warmly, their words were full of compliments to Qin Wu and praise for this engagement banquet.

Qin Wu responded to everyone's flattery politely with a smile on his face, but his eyes always drifted inadvertently towards Lin Jinyan beside him, as if in this noisy adulation, only Lin Jinyan was the focus and peace of mind in his eyes.

Lin Jianyan stood quietly aside with a faint smile on her face, silently watching Qin Wu deal with the crowd with ease.

Lin Jianyan looked at the ladies walking towards him, afraid of being entangled by them, so he ran away quickly.
