The engagement ceremony is not as complicated as the wedding ceremony. The emcee first makes fun of the unmarried couple, then asks them to exchange engagement rings and invites Jasmine's parents to give a speech. Then the ceremony is almost over.
Sunny sits on the chair and says in surprise, "Nina, I bet you $1.5 million. This engagement ceremony is very unusual. Look, the parents of the Jasmine are all here, but none of the family of Lucien is here. Lucien's the only person of the Gray family to show up."
A few moments suddenly flash through Nina's mind, and she shakes her head, "Lucien's family is quite strange. Maybe his grandpa doesn't show up because he is too old, and Nelson doesn't attend because his eyes haven't recovered. But his parents are alive. Why aren't they here?"
"What? His parents are still alive?" The eyes of Sunny brighten, and her gossip-love heart is ignited, "I've never heard him talk about it. Peter Johnson doesn't know about it, too!"
Nina secretly regrets it in her heart. She feels that it is not appropriate for her to say this. It is obvious that Lucien doesn't want others to know about his family. So she quickly turns to other topics, "I've only heard him say it once. Maybe I remember wrong. Sunny, do you think he will not keep his promise not to tell me my daughter's whereabouts?"
"I don't think so. Peter Johnson once said that Lucien never lies, and does what he says. So, he should not break his promise. Wow, Nina, my little baby can have a nice elder sister as soon as he is born! It's great that we can take our children out to play together later!" Sunny begins to dream about the happy life in the future.
When it comes to her daughter, Nina's gloomy mood also improves a little, "Sunny, I will go to Lucien as soon as the ceremony is over!"
Sunny makes a winning gesture to her, and then they look at each other and smile.
After the ceremony, the wine party begins. The waiters carry the table full of wine out and put it along the wall. The music played on the large LED screen on the wall has also been replaced with soft piano music. The male and female guests drink and talk with each other happily in the soft music.
Nina takes a deep breath and is ready to get up to find Lucien.
