Spring River Chasing the Moon

Before today, Nan Younian viewed everything that had happened before, including himself and the person with whom he had exchanged lives, as a superior.

He always thought that the man in Haicheng would not have received any good education, nor would he have any vision or pattern, and everything he had experienced since childhood would become his capital for victory.

But tonight, looking at the man standing next to Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying, he was not inferior at all.

He was clearly no different from those of them who had received a good education and abundant material wealth since childhood, so much so that when looking at him, Nan Younian felt a sense of inexplicable inferiority in his heart, which made it difficult for Nan Younian to accept, and he didn't want to accept it.

Now even his wife is the daughter of a master of Chinese painting. What kind of luck is this? It seems that no matter where this person grows up, he is always a winner in life.

And I will always be the loser.

Zhou Xinning felt even more resentful. She thought she was a country woman, but she didn't expect her background to be so bad. No wonder she had such a good temperament.

But why!

Zhou Xining scratched her thigh hard.

"Why should she give up everything she once had to others? She refuses to accept it."

As the night deepened, the guests left the Nan family one after another, leaving only themselves and a few familiar relatives.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, Zhou Xinning asked Zhou's father and mother to bring herself and Nan Younian to congratulate Zhu Yuying on her birthday.

"My dear mother-in-law, we have prepared some small gifts for you. I wish you a happy birthday."

Zhou's mother shamelessly stepped forward and greeted Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying warmly.

Seeing the Zhou family's impatient emotions, Nan Youmin stood aside with a blank expression. He wanted to scold them for trying to make connections, but was stopped by Luo Zhong and Chen Lili. Nan Youmin looked at Luo Zhong and shook his head, and his emotions slowly calmed down.

Luo Zhong didn't want his family to be unhappy because of him today.

Luo Youyou hid aside and watched the show quietly.

Zhu Yuying was happy today and didn't want to have a falling out, so she just said it lightly.

"No need for gifts. Younian has already returned to Haicheng. Don't call us that in the future."

Nan Younian heard Zhu Yuying's words clearly and his face turned pale immediately.

He lowered his head, walked up to the Nan family, and handed over the prepared gift with difficulty.

"...Madam, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wish you a happy birthday and good health."

Looking at Nan Younian's appearance, Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying didn't know how to treat him. They didn't say anything and didn't accept the gifts.

Nan Younian suspended the gift in mid-air, neither giving nor receiving it.

Zhou Xining felt sorry for Nan Younian. "Younian prepared a gift a long time ago. It was just a simple token of his gratitude for the Nan family's care for him over the years. After all, in his heart, Madam was always the best to him. Today is your birthday. No matter what others think of us, we are here to wish you a happy birthday in person."

This was said very cleverly, saying that they had suffered a lot of grievances, but still insisted on coming here to thank the Nan family. The Nan family should accept it and not refuse.

Nanzhou Yue looked at Zhou Xining. It’s not that he didn’t see through her little thoughts, but he was just too lazy to expose them. He reached out and took the thing that Nan Younian handed over.

"Okay, now that the gifts have been accepted and your intentions are known, it's getting late, so you should go back."

Nanzhou Yue glanced at them and shouted to drive them away.

"Well, we'll be back now."

Zhou Xinning nodded, pretending to be docile.

Then he turned around and pretended to look for Nan Yinbei, and asked Zhou's father and mother in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Mom and Dad, where is Yinyin? Didn't Yinyin come to look for you?"

Zhou's father and mother were stunned and confused.

"No, wasn't Yinyin with you guys all night?"

Zhou's father, mother and Nan Younian didn't know that all this was arranged by Zhou Xinning, and they were really anxious.

"Did he run away?"

Zhu Yuying listened to what Zhou Xinning's family said, and realized that Nan Yinbei was missing, so she spoke out.

"That shouldn't be the case. There's nothing interesting to see outside here. Apart from the people attending the banquet today, there are almost no cars passing by. And most of the people attending the banquet know Yinyin. If they meet her, they should be sent back. Besides, there are security guards at the door."

The child was lost, and the Nan family had no choice but to send people to help the Zhou family look for him everywhere.

Nan Youmin found the security guards he had initially arranged to monitor the Zhou family, and they all said that they were only watching the adults and did not see where the children went.

Luo Zhong and Chen Lili first sent the Chen family to the car and let them go home. After all, they had been busy all day, especially Chen Ze and Li Muzhi. It was not known how long it would take to find Nan Yinbei. There was no need for the two old people to stay up late with them. It would be better for them to go back and rest early.

After the Chen family's car drove away, Luo Zhong and Chen Lili stayed near the villa, looking for Nan Yinbei everywhere.

"Do you think this child is upset because of what happened last night?"

On the quiet path, Chen Lili suddenly spoke.

Luo Zhong paused holding the flashlight and said, "Let's find the child first."

The villa was unusually quiet, with only Nanzhou Yue Zhu Yuying and Luo Youyou left.

Wang Jing had been staying up all night for reporting in recent days. Today, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she took Nan Sibei and Nan Zhili to rest early.

Nan Qingqing and Yan Ce had to go to the Yan family again, so they took Yan Wei and left early.

"Grandpa and grandma, you guys go get some rest. It's very late now. I'll be waiting for mom and dad here."

Nanzhou Yue was a little worried about Luo Youyou, so he shook his head and said, "We are worried about you being here alone. You and grandma should go and rest first. Grandpa will wait for them here."

Luo Youyou was worried about Zhu Yuying's health. She had finally found Wen Songge, and she couldn't stay up late and waste her energy anymore.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. Isn't there a bodyguard outside? I'm right here and won't run around."

"Grandma has just started to recover, she can't stay up late anymore, Grandpa, take her to rest quickly."

Luo Youyou took Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying's hands and asked them to go back to their rooms and sleep.

"Grandma, it's okay. We'll stay with you..."

Before Zhu Yuying could finish her words, Luo Youyou pushed them upstairs without giving them a chance to refuse.

After the hall was empty, Luo Youyou sat down calmly.

"The Zhou family... Nan Yinbei..." This was the first time that Luo Youyou paid serious attention to Nan Younian's wife and daughter. He found that these two people were not simple. What happened today was too coincidental to be an accident.

Luo Youyou walked out of the villa. In fact, as soon as she arrived at the garden at night, she saw Nan Younian's family hiding in the corner. The adults were socializing and greeting each other, including her grandfather. Only her family was looking at this side, and their eyes were always on Luo Zhong and Chen Lili.

The last time, she clearly saw Nan Yinbei leaving from the path behind the garden, so Luo Youyou returned to the garden again. She wanted to see what this family was going to do.
