Spring River Chasing the Moon

The birthday party officially began at eight o'clock in the evening.

All the guests have arrived at the Nan family villa according to the time on the invitation, including the Zhou family.

Nan Younian and Zhou Xining took Nan Yinbei to the corner of the garden and did not walk towards the center of the crowd for fear of attracting other people's attention.

The two elders of the Zhou family followed Zhou Xinning's arrangement, stood in front of the garden, and asked several families who had good relations with the Nan family about the situation of the banquet.

"Mrs. Li, you're here too?"

Mother Zhou stepped forward eagerly and greeted Mrs. Li.

"Yeah." Mrs. Li responded, somewhat flatly.

The Li family and the Zhou family are completely from different circles. If the Zhou family had not become relatives with the Nan family, they would never have been here with them. Mrs. Li herself came from a prominent family. Although her upbringing prevented her from despising the Zhou family, she also didn't want to pay too much attention to them.

Mother Zhou felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw her lukewarm attitude, but she had to continue with a shameless face.

"I didn't expect that the party for my mother-in-law's birthday would be so grand..."

What Zhou's mother meant was that she wanted to test other people's opinions and ask if they knew whether this banquet had any other purpose besides celebrating Zhu Yuying's birthday.

However, Mrs. Li didn't react much, just nodded at her.

The Nan family has always protected Luo Zhong and others very well. Apart from the parties involved and their families, no news has been leaked to the outside world.

On the second floor, the Nan family and the Chen family were sitting in the reception room. Chen Yanyan and her husband finally arrived before the dinner started. It was the first time that the two families met in person and got to know each other.

"Mom and Dad, let's go downstairs first."

The time was almost up, and Chen Yanyan, Chen Youyou and the others felt that they could go downstairs and wait, and leave the rest to Luo Zhong and the others.

"Okay, let's go down first."

Chen Ze and Li Muzhi took Chen Yanyan and Chen Youyou's family downstairs and came to the garden.

The appearance of the Chen family attracted a lot of people's attention.

Some people who had never seen Chen Ze in person were whispering to each other.

"Whose family are these people from? I don't think I've seen them in such an occasion before."

The person next to him shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Those who like calligraphy and painting will recognize Chen Ze and Li Muzhi at a glance, including Chen Youyou next to them. His jewelry has also been very popular in the fashion industry in recent years.

"Hello, Professor Chen, Teacher Li."

The one who came forward was Nanzhou Yue's cousin Nan Huaijing. Both he and Nanzhou Yue liked Chen Ze's paintings, but it was really hard to get one. They didn't expect that Chen Ze's family would appear here today.

"Hello, who are you?"

Chen Ze was indeed not very familiar with the Nan family, and he didn't know who was greeting him, so he could only respond politely.

"Zhou Yue is my uncle's son. I didn't expect to meet you here today. Zhou Yue and I both like your paintings very much, as well as your wife's beautiful calligraphy."

Nan Huaijing seemed very excited, and he was having more and more fun chatting with Chen Ze and the others. Those who didn't know Chen Ze's identity were glad that they had not been disrespectful to the Chen family.

Nan Huaijing is the most difficult to approach member of the Nan family. What he hates most is people who try to get close to the Nan family. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to greet that family today, proving that this family is of great importance.

Zhou Xining watched the Chen family silently from the side. She had heard from her parents during the day that Chen Youyou's family had already entered the villa with a special invitation. She thought that the Chen family had something to do with Nan Younian's life experience swap, but looking at Nan Huaijing's expression, she felt that it was unlikely.

When she was in Haicheng, she asked Yang Qian and found out that the person who had exchanged with Nan Younian was serving in a certain unit in Nancheng. When talking about his lover, Yang Qian looked dissatisfied and said "petty" and did not mention it again.

Zhou Xining felt that she was overthinking it. The man grew up in a place like Haicheng. Even if he returned to the Nan family, he would not be able to change his previous habits. Not to mention that the woman he married there could not be a lady from a noble family. She was just a country girl.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xining looked at Nan Younian and Nan Yinbei beside her. They had dressed up by themselves today. No matter what, their temperament would not be inferior to that guy from the countryside.

After a while, Nan Qingqing, Nan Youmin and others also came downstairs. Nan Youmin walked in front of everyone and reminded the guests that the banquet was about to begin, and Nan Zhouyue, Zhu Yuying and others came downstairs immediately.

Luo Zhong, who was on the second floor, looked through the gap in the curtains at the many people in the garden and suddenly felt nervous.

Zhu Yuying had been looking at Luo Zhong. Noticing his emotions, she immediately stepped forward, took his hand, and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, Mom and Dad are here."

Nanzhou Yue also came over, patted Luo Zhong on the shoulder and told him not to worry.

Luo Zhong nodded. He was just not used to such occasions and felt it was a little unreal.

Chen Lili and Luo Youyou understood Luo Zhong's inner feelings because they felt the same way.

Even Luo Youyou felt as if her heart was beating very fast. Even though she had lived two lives, this was the first time she faced such a scene, so she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Looking at the time, Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying went downstairs first.

Zhu Yuying was brought to the garden by Nanzhou Yue. She was very happy that she had found her biological son before her birthday this year and did not let this mistake exist for the rest of her life.

Now they have a sensible and filial son, a gentle daughter-in-law, and a lovely granddaughter, and she can't wait to share all of this with everyone.

Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying stood in front of the guests, looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

"Thank you all for coming to my wife's birthday party. Today is a very important day for us. I hope you can come and witness it."

The people in the garden thought that the "important day" referred to Zhu Yuying's birthday and didn't think much about it. Only Zhou Jia and Nan Younian looked very unhappy.

Zhou's father and mother looked back at Zhou Xinning with a worried look on their faces, silently asking her, "What should we do now?"

Zhou Xining shook her head, signaling her parents not to act rashly. No matter what they did now, it would be useless. There was no need to break up with the Nan family in front of everyone. She would take care of the rest.

Zhou's father and mother understood what their daughter meant, and walked silently to a secluded place in the garden. They were afraid that they would have to announce later that Nan Younian was not a child of the Nan family. If their family stood in the middle, it would definitely attract everyone's attention, and they would be the ones who would be embarrassed.

What they didn't expect was that their series of actions were seen clearly by Nan Youmin who was standing in front of them.

Nan Youmin frowned and immediately arranged security, secretly watching the Zhou family and their group to prevent them from causing trouble.

"Today, we are here to announce something to you all."

Nanzhou Yue cleared his throat, glanced at Zhu Yuying, and then announced an explosive news in a deep voice.

"Our third child was taken away by mistake when he was born and has been living in Haicheng ever since. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to find him a while ago."

The amount of information contained in this sentence stunned all the guests present for several minutes. Even the Nan family's relatives were stunned. Everyone thought they had heard it wrong.

"What's going on now? The wrong child?"

"Oh my god, there is such a thing..."

"Then Nan Younian is not the third son of the Nan family at all?"

……

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, whispering to each other. This might be the most unbelievable news in all these years.

"I'm here today, taking advantage of my birthday, to officially tell everyone that our third child has returned to the Nan family. He's suffered a lot outside, and I hope you'll take good care of him when you see him in the future."

Zhu Yuying's words made some guests feel ashamed. The third son of the Nan family is a favored child of heaven and is surrounded by stars. Does he still need their care?

After Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying finished speaking, they turned around and looked behind them.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the villa, and the garden became unusually quiet for a moment.

Luo Zhong and the others had already discussed it with Nanzhou Yue, and they would go downstairs after Zhu Yuying finished speaking.

Under everyone's gaze, Luo Zhong's family of three slowly walked out of the villa and came to Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying.

After Luo Zhong came out, everyone's expressions were extremely wonderful. No one had expected that a person who came out of the backward place of Haicheng would have a temperament that was not inferior to any child from a noble family present.

Even the person next to him, who should be his wife, was wearing a cheongsam and had proper and elegant manners, just like what they imagined a Jiangnan beauty to look like.

"This is our biological son. The one next to him is our daughter-in-law. This is our little granddaughter."

Zhu Yuying introduced them to the guests with a smile.

They were all people who had seen the world, and even if they were shocked inside, they could quickly recover to their normal state.

"Congratulations, Commander and Madam."

Someone holding a wine glass said to Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying.

In an instant, everyone followed suit.

Except Nan Younian and others.

Zhou Xining sat in the corner, looking at the family in the distance, and she began to doubt her eyes.

She had never imagined that the country girl who grew up in Haicheng would be so noble. Even the petty-minded woman in Yang Qian's words did not need any fancy clothes to set off her. She could be so charming in just a plain cheongsam.

At this time, Nan Younian was eager to leave this place. Looking at his former father and mother, who were now gathered together with their biological son, smiling and interacting with everyone, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Xin Ning, let's go."

He didn't have the courage to stay here any longer.

How could Zhou Xining leave so easily? If they left like this today, they might never have the chance to contact the Nan family again.

"We haven't said happy birthday to mom yet. There are so many people here now. Let's go when the party is almost over. Don't be impolite."

Nan Younian didn't know what Zhou Xinning was planning, and felt that what Zhou Xinning said was right, but he took his family to stand in the corner again, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.

When Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying came out, Nan Yinbei wanted to go up and say hello to them, but was stopped by Zhou Xining.

Zhou Xining covered her mouth and told her not to make any sound, otherwise her grandparents would be unhappy and they would have to go back to Haicheng.

Nan Yinbei became quiet in an instant. She never wanted to go back again. There was nothing there and it was not fun at all.

But when he saw the grandparents pulling another little girl and saying that she was their granddaughter, Nan Yinbei's heart collapsed. She was obviously the one, but that person dared to snatch her grandparents away.
