The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

The crystal dome, like a giant diamond, refracted dazzling light, transforming the antique-style banquet hall into a dreamlike spectacle. In this magnificent setting, elegantly dressed guests, in their finest attire, held champagne glasses and chatted animatedly.

In the center of the banquet hall, a group of people stood in a circle, their faces beaming with obsequious smiles, holding various precious gifts in their hands, including jade ornaments, limited-edition watches, and more. These exquisite jewels and bespoke suits shone brightly under the lights, as if vying to display their luxury and value.

The second branch of the family, headed by Old Master Si, sat steadily on a carved sandalwood chair. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the gifts presented by everyone, a satisfied smile on his lips. He carefully examined each gift, seemingly assessing its value and significance.

At the very beginning of the birthday celebration, Zhou Yanhuan naturally brought her siblings to her side. She and her sister Zhou Jiayue leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, while Zhou Yanchuan, Zhou Jiaze, Zhou Jiayu, 15-year-old Zhou Jiaxuan, Feng Muyang, and Xu Linfeng, the six men beside them, seemed to be in perfect unison, spreading out to tightly protect Zhou Yanhuan and her sister in the middle.

Among them, Zhou Yanchuan, as Zhou Yanhuan's older brother, stood closest to her. He moved slightly closer to his sisters, lowered his voice, and complained with a hint of helplessness, "I really don't know what the point of this hypocritical banquet is. Look at these people, each one seemingly socializing, but they all have ulterior motives and their own agendas. And how many of those who give gifts are sincere? They're just trying to curry favor with us. I really don't understand what's so good about this hypocritical banquet. I'd rather paint a few pictures, hold an exhibition, and then auction them off; at least I could make some money."

Upon hearing his younger brother Zhou Yanchuan's words, Zhou Jiaze's lips curled into a subtle smile. He imperceptibly adjusted his position, cleverly shielding Zhou Yanhuan and his sister from the glaring light streaming in from the window. Then, he turned to Zhou Yanchuan, his eyes revealing an elder brother's patience, and slowly explained, "This is high society, Yanchuan."

The two Zhou Jiayu worked together seamlessly. One of them handed Zhou Yanhuan a warm glass of juice with a smile, while the other raised his phone, seemingly to take a picture, but in reality, he was scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, not missing any suspicious figures.

Holding a champagne glass, Xu Linfeng had a mocking smile on his lips and teased, "Miss Zhou, look at that President Wang. His smile is uglier than his tears."

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the gift-giving ceremony, and the banquet hall was bustling with activity. Suddenly, a childish voice calling "Aunt Huan" broke the lively atmosphere. Everyone quickly came down and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Si Chengze, the grandson of the third branch of the family, stumbling and running towards the woman who had just entered.

Si Chengze was wearing a white shirt, the buttons fastened neatly, making him appear somewhat reserved. His small hand tightly clutched a handmade greeting card, as if it were his most precious treasure.

"Auntie, this is what I drew!" Si Chengze ran up to Zhou Yanhuan, looked up, and said in his childish voice. His voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhou Yanhuan stared at the little boy in astonishment, her mind filled with confusion. She couldn't help but wonder how this little brat could recognize her. After all, her makeup today was completely different from usual; even her facial features were so heavily made up that she was almost unrecognizable, looking exactly like a foreign woman.

Not only was Zhou Yanhuan surprised, but Zhou Jiaze, Zhou Yanchuan, Zhou Jiayu, Zhou Jiayue, Feng Muyang, Zhou Jiaxuan, Xu Linfeng and others also showed surprise.

This child has such good eyesight! No one else present recognized Zhou Yanhuan, but this little kid did.

The entire room fell silent instantly, all eyes turning to her. Zhou Yanhuan knelt down; the greeting card featured a crooked crayon drawing of a family holding hands, with "Happy Birthday" written in pinyin next to it.

Zhou Yanhuan's lips curled into a sly smile. She spoke to Si Chengyu in a deliberately fierce tone, "Little friend, who are you? This beautiful greeting card is clearly for today's birthday person, how did it end up here? Don't you know I'm a big bad guy? I'll kidnap you when your parents aren't looking! Then you'll never see your parents again!"

Si Chengyu blinked his big, round eyes, looking at Zhou Yanhuan with an innocent expression. His little head was tilted slightly to one side, seemingly puzzled by Zhou Yanhuan's words. His eyes revealed an irresistible innocence, as if asking, "Aunt Huan, why did you suddenly say you were going to kidnap me today?"

Surprisingly, he quickly adjusted his posture, as if instantly shaking off his earlier slight panic. Then, he tilted his head slightly forward, moving closer to Zhou Yanhuan, and said in his childish yet clear voice, "You're Aunt Huan! I already sent Great-Grandpa's greeting card. Last night, Dad told me you'd be attending this banquet, so I pestered him for ages before he finally agreed to bring me today. Dad was just saying you weren't here, but I saw you right away! Dad's such a silly goose; he didn't even recognize you just because you were wearing makeup."

Just then, Xu Linfeng heard the little baby's adorable voice and was immediately drawn to it. He slowly walked to the baby's side, gently stroked the baby's hair, and then asked with a smile, "How did you know she was your Aunt Huan?"

Upon hearing this, Si Chengyu's face immediately contorted into a "you're so stupid" expression, as if the question was so simple it was laughable. In his childish, slightly naive voice, he made no attempt to hide his disdain for Xu Linfeng: "Uncle Xu, how can you be so stupid? I recently heard from Dad that you and Auntie are getting very close. Since you're Auntie's good friend now, you'll naturally follow her wherever she goes. So, since you're here, Auntie will naturally be here too. Besides, you all came in together, and apart from the two girls, I don't recognize that pretty lady next to you. My uncle taught me that you have to eliminate all the impossible factors, and the remaining one, no matter how impossible it seems, must be the answer."
