Today is Zhan Bei Jue's birthday.
He never imagined having a grand celebration, not even planning for it.
However, Lu Qingxu, eager to please, had reserved a room at the club in advance and had already sent the gift to their home.
It just so happened that Jiang Nan Fang saw it, which made her remember his birthday.
Although the two had known each other for many years, they had always been at odds, and she had never celebrated his birthday before.
This year, it was imperative to make up for it with a grand gesture.
Even though she had seen the gift, Jiang Nan Fang wanted to surprise him, so she pretended not to know.
In private, she secretly contacted Lu Qingxu, asking how he usually celebrated and how she could surprise him.
Who is Zhan Bei Jue?
What delicacies has he not tasted? What good things has he not seen? What storms has he not weathered?
It's truly uncertain if anything can surprise him.
Lu Qingxu said, "You've stumped me there, I don't know."
"I just give him offerings every year, whether he likes them or not, I just send them. He always yells at me for it."
"It's the same this year, he just finished scolding me for being boring and said I can't say anything more."
"How about this, I'll create a group chat, and you can ask my brother and Zhou Jin Bei."
Lu Ming Zhe is currently deeply in love, his mind filled with wanting to have a child with Xiang Wan Sheng.
"Give him a second child. Old Zhan likes children, nothing would make him happier than this."
Isn't that a terrible idea?
Pregnancy is either a fact or not, you can't create a surprise by deceiving him about something that isn't true, can you?
Zhou Jin Bei didn't have any good ideas either.
"Before, my second brother and I weren't close at all, his birthday was never my concern..."
At the crucial moment, no one was reliable, and in the end, Jiang Nan Fang devised a plan herself.
Zhan Bei Jue has been busy with financing matters, traveling for business, and attending social events.
Today, he finally had a moment of peace, but he had to go to Bei Cheng the day after tomorrow. He was sitting in his study reviewing documents.
Suddenly, a boisterous noise erupted from downstairs.
Besides the children, no one dared to make such a racket in the house.
But the children were currently in the next room, quiet as mice.
What was happening downstairs?
He closed his laptop and strolled downstairs.
Before he could see anyone, he heard Zhou Jin Bei and Jiang Nan Fang arguing in the living room, each trying to get the upper hand.
"Fine! You're amazing! Whatever you say goes, we don't even have the right to say another word, okay!"
This was said by Zhou Jin Bei.
Jiang Nan Fang cursed at her.
"Stop being so sarcastic! I think you've been spoiled rotten, your temper is getting worse and worse!"
"You don't go to work every day, yet you take our company's money, what's the difference between you and a parasite? You're throwing your weight around in front of me? See if you're qualified!"
"The money I receive is from my second brother, not yours, so what are you puffing yourself up for?"
"Don't think you're all that just because you've had a few children. I call you sister-in-law out of respect, but if I didn't, you'd be an outsider who could be kicked out at any moment! You're the one who's not qualified!"
"Heh, I'm an outsider who could be kicked out at any moment? According to you, you want Zhan Bei Jue to divorce me, and he'll have to obey you obediently?"
"Of course! My second brother and I have had the best relationship since childhood, he listens to me about everything! If I want you two to not get along, you definitely won't!"
"You have quite some nerve. Aren't you afraid of twisting your tongue."
Jiang Nan Fang sneered.
"After all the kindness I've shown you, you're truly an ungrateful wretch."
"You're the ungrateful wretch!"
"You!"
"You! You are, you are!"
As they spoke, the two actually rushed at each other and started pulling each other's hair.
At their age, they could still argue, and even get physical?
Zhan Bei Jue was truly exasperated by these two women.
When they were on good terms, they were like sisters, but what was going on today?
He walked over, stood between them, and pushed each one with a hand.
"What are you doing? How old are you? The children are upstairs, making such a racket, what kind of behavior is this?"
The two women wouldn't give way to each other, each vying to complain to him.
With both ears buzzing, he couldn't hear a word either of them was saying.
After trying to listen for a while, he couldn't help but roar.
"Enough, both of you shut up and stop arguing!"
The two finally fell silent.
He looked at Jiang Nan Fang.
"You speak. You're the sister-in-law, the elder. What happened?"
Jiang Nan Fang didn't explain what happened, looking at him furiously.
"I'm asking you, if my cousin and I were mortal enemies and only one could stay by your side, who would you choose?"
"??"
Zhou Jin Bei also came to join the fun.
"That's right! Second brother, from now on, Jiang Nan Fang and I are sworn enemies! If you choose her, you'll have no sister in me from this day forward!"
"Choose me, and you must divorce her. Make a choice!"
He never expected that the dignified Zhan Bei Jue would one day be presented with such an absurd choice.
And it came from the mouths of these two.
What on earth had gotten into these two women, who normally seemed as sharp as rabbits?
"I refuse to answer this ridiculous question. Alright, stop arguing."
"Zhou Jin Bei, go back to your own home. Jiang Nan Fang, come upstairs with me. The children are this old, and you're truly living backward."
Both of them were angry and didn't listen to him.
Jiang Nan Fang even had tears welling up in her eyes.
"Fine, Zhan Bei Jue, I understand. You and your cousin share blood, you chose your cousin."
"I'm superfluous, I'll leave, I'll just leave!"
With that, she rushed to the coffee table, grabbed her bag, and bolted out the door.
Hey!
Her temper was so fiery now, she couldn't even be told anything?
Crucially, he hadn't said anything, and she just left the house?
Zhan Bei Jue instinctively took a step to chase after her.
Zhou Jin Bei reached out and grabbed him.
"Second brother! I knew you were the best to me! At critical moments, it's our blood relationship that counts..."
"Get lost, get lost. Go as far away as you can."
Zhan Bei Jue forcefully pushed her hand away, getting angry as he did so.
"Hurry and chase her back! Kneel down for her, apologize to her!"
"Let me tell you, Zhou Jin Bei, if you don't bring her back today, blood relationship? I'll cut off all contact with your entire Zhou family, believe it or not!"
Jiang Nan Fang drove out.
Zhan Bei Jue and Zhou Jin Bei chased after her.
Since Zhou Jin Bei was driving, Zhan Bei Jue's attention was entirely on the car, so he didn't pay attention to their destination.
It wasn't until they got out of the car and entered the building, seeing the familiar decor, that he realized.
They had driven to the club.
Arguing was one thing, but when had Jiang Nan Fang developed such a bad habit?
She was really getting out of hand, coming to the club to play at the slightest disagreement!
"Jiang Nan Fang!"
He felt that the drama had gone on long enough and it was time to teach her a lesson and drag her back, so he ran a couple of steps forward and grabbed her.
However, Jiang Nan Fang obstinately dodged him and pushed open the door to enter the private room.
Zhan Bei Jue followed her in.
The originally dark room was suddenly illuminated as the lights switched on.
Immediately after, a cascade of colorful confetti rained down on him.
A group of men and women stood before him, with a large, colorful cake on the table.
Everyone was smiling at him.
"Surprise! Happy birthday, Mr. Zhan!"
