The next day, although the Ye family had a maid busy at work, out of courtesy and upbringing, Chen Zhiyu went back early in the morning, under the pretext of helping, but in fact he went there to get scolded in advance. Otherwise, when Lu Tingchuan got off work and came back together, the birthday party would definitely not be able to go on given the tempers of Lu Xia and Lu Tingchuan.

As soon as she entered the door, she was stunned by the scene. This was not a simple dinner party at all. The hall was probably full of people including aunts and uncles.

When she walked in, she saw Lu Xia and Ye Junfeng receiving guests with smiles on their faces.

Chen Zhiyu walked over with a gift and said, "Mom, Dad, happy birthday. This is a gift from me. I hope you don't mind it."

Ye Junfeng took the gift box and said, "You kid, just come back. Why bring any gifts? Thank you."

Lu Xia said angrily, "You know it's Dad's birthday today, but you came later than the guests. How can you say that?"

She spoke in a low voice. After all, there were many people around, and the Chen family was a wealthy family. If this got out, Lu Xia would not be in good shape.

"Got it. I'll pay attention next time. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Xia gets angry when she sees that she is always neither humble nor arrogant, yet she dotes on her son to no end. It is obvious that her own son is not close to her, but he speaks softly to this woman.

"Yazhi is busy in the kitchen, go over and see if she needs any help."

Chen Zhiyu was happy and relaxed, chatting and laughing with these people, especially in front of Lu Xia, which he really couldn't do.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw Zhao Yazhi busying around beside the cook. She rolled up her sleeves and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhao Yazhi looked over following the voice and saw her as if she saw a savior. "Sister-in-law, you are back!"

Chen Zhiyu nodded and said, "Where's the housekeeper? Why are you here alone?" Although this kind of banquet is a family dinner, the plating and serving of dishes are very particular. Usually, these things are done by the housekeeper or the person who manages the kitchen. But looking at the situation, Zhao Yazhi is obviously busy from the inside out.

"Mom said that the housekeeper had to accompany her to receive guests, so I can just watch and make a few more dishes."

Chen Zhiyu really didn't understand what Lu Xia was trying to do. She was such a face-conscious person. If Zhao Yazhi embarrassed her while serving the meal, who knows how she would make a scene. "Where's Ye Luochen? Why isn't he here?"

When Zhao Yazhi heard the name, her eyes dimmed. Chen Zhiyu saw this and understood that maybe their married life was not very good, but since it was someone else's business, she did not ask too much.

After a while, he slowly said, "Achen went to the company and may not come back."

Chen Zhiyu snorted coldly, "I've never seen anything like this before. It's his father's birthday, and all the aunts and uncles are here, but his own son isn't here. Isn't this a joke?"

Zhao Yazhi, hearing her say this, thought of herself. Lu Tingchuan had always been inseparable from her. Whenever Lu Xia spoke loudly, Lu Tingchuan would not agree. Now he asked her to come to the kitchen alone to make fun of him, or was he the same as himself? What was he so arrogant about? He said in a sarcastic tone, "Sister-in-law, isn't your brother coming back with you? You two were inseparable before, are you quarreling now?"

"He went to the company and came here to give some instructions."

Chen Zhiyu was too lazy to pay attention to her. This person couldn't tell good from bad. If she continued talking, it would be like talking about love to a cow.

After Chen Zhiyu came in, she arranged a lot of things. Compared to Zhao Yazhi who was running around like a headless fly, the pace is much faster now.
