The teasing continued. Conversations flowed. The gathering stretched late into the night, filled with warmth, laughter, and endless reminders about marriage, children, and family.
Eventually, the celebration came to an end.
One by one, the guests began to leave.
The Zhang family departed. Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao left as well. Simon and Yang Xia followed behind Elena and Jin Di, still buzzing with gossip and excitement.
Jin Yang left last, walking out like a man who had been struck repeatedly by lightning and was somehow still alive.
By the time the mansion quieted, the air still held traces of happiness.
Although the two families weren't officially connected by marriage yet, the Jins and the Zhangs had already begun treating each other like one family.
As autumn slowly surrendered to winter, the long-awaited film "Strong Yet Broken" finally held its official premiere.
