Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.
Chapter 53 Birthday Party
"Sweetie, did you teach your brother to do these problems?"
"Yes." The little dumpling was so sweet and adorable, it melted the woman's heart.
"That's a great idea, but it's not the right answer." The woman was very gentle, a stark contrast to her strict mother persona just moments before.
Potato looked at his gentle old mother with a resentful expression.
They're fierce and menacing towards themselves, but their voices turn into a green tea babble when they're dealing with others.
But so what? His whole family dotes on their daughter, and he'll have to be a doting brother to his sister in the future.
Suddenly, a stunningly handsome man walked over.
Zhan Guiting walked to the table and glanced at the homework books spread out on it.
All the answers in the workbook were wrong, and they were incredibly, ridiculously, and utterly absurd.
Zhan Guiting frowned. "Did YoYo teach you this?"
Zhan Guiting was both angry and amused, and at the same time, he was worried that YoYo might not be academically inclined in the future.
The Zhan family has produced generations of academic achievers, with the oldest graduating with a doctorate at the age of 20, without exception.
Unexpectedly, in his children's generation, there was a student who was academically weak.
What went wrong.
Zhan Guiting pictured Wen Zijin doing her homework.
That look was even more unpleasant than drinking Beijing-style fermented mung bean juice.
The woman stared at Zhan Guiting as if time had stood still, her eyes fixed on him, momentarily forgetting who she was.
"Hey, your husband's home!" Potato called out, quickly blocking the woman's view when he saw his mother swooning over her again.
While he was away, he had to keep an eye on his mother for his father.
The woman realized what had happened and gave an awkward laugh.

Zhan Guiting took YoYo home.
When Zhan Weiguo and Qin Yimo saw their beloved granddaughter return, they rushed to hug her.
Qin Yimo naturally couldn't compete with Zhan Weiguo, but Zhan Weiguo went easy on her.
Qin Yimo hugged the little dumpling, kissing it again and again, unable to put it down, and then carried the little guy to sit on the sofa.
There was a pile of birthday invitations on the coffee table.
The card was exquisite, inlaid with gold and diamonds.
Zhan Luya was sitting on the sofa making a phone call, which sounded like she was inviting guests to her 18th birthday party.
"Honey, next week is your aunt's coming-of-age ceremony. Aren't you excited?" Qin Yimo asked.
"I'm so happy! I even prepared a gift for my aunt. She'll definitely love it!"
The little guy was waving his arms and legs excitedly; he wasn't the same person Qin Yimo was talking about as her aunt.
Qin Yimo's eyes were filled with relief.
When Zhan Luya heard that Yoyo had prepared a gift for her, she was dismissive. What kind of birthday gift could a three-year-old give her? Lollipops? Toys? Jewelry? She didn't care about any of those.
Zhan Guiting sat on the sofa, twirling the Buddhist prayer beads and diamond ring on his finger, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.
Zhan Guiting felt very awkward about the true identities of Zhan Luya and Jin Xi, and didn't know how to bring it up. Especially seeing how happy Qin Yimo was, he didn't know how to break the joy.
After the talent show ended, Jinxi signed with a company and was very busy, but today is her birthday according to her ID card, so no matter how busy she is, she will make time to celebrate her birthday.
Because she has never celebrated her birthday before, and today is her coming of age, she must spend it with her family.
Jinxi ordered a very expensive cake and returned home.
She grew up in a remote mountain village.
Jinxi saw her younger brother standing at the door from afar.
"Jin Dong." Jin Xi waved to him.
Jin Dong put his hand to his eyes, glanced at Jin Xi, and then, for some reason, turned around and went back into the house, slamming the door shut with a "bang".
Jinxi felt something was strange.
Upon entering the house, everyone remained silent, their faces and eyes filled with disdain and extreme contempt for her, especially upon seeing that her hands were empty except for a broken cake.
"Mom and Dad, today is my 18th birthday..."
"So you only bought things for yourself and nothing for the family? What did we raise you for? Wasn't it to prepare for our old age? But you have no conscience at all. You forget about your family as soon as you make money." Mother Jin couldn't control herself any longer and shouted loudly.
Jinxi was stunned, not knowing what they were angry about.
"Money." The adoptive father held out his hand, looking completely matter-of-fact.
Jinxi then realized that they were angry because she hadn't sent money home for a month.
But she has no money on her at all.
"I have no money."
"Imanishi said."
He recently participated in a talent show, and he didn't have time to do any part-time work. He also gave all his savings to his adoptive parents because the show provided food and accommodation, and he didn't need any money, so he sent it all home at once.
"No money? You're on TV and you still have no money? You're a celebrity now, sis. Have you ever seen a celebrity who's poor?" her younger brother, Jin Dong, mocked.
Jinxi is exhausted and regrets coming back to this home, regrets wanting to get even a little bit of happiness and blessings from this home.
From junior high school onwards, Jinxi earned her own tuition and living expenses. She didn't ask her parents for a penny; on the contrary, she sent money home every month.
At first, the amount sent was several thousand yuan, but now it's tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In the end, she herself had no money left.
Although I signed with the company, I haven't received any gigs yet, so I don't have any income.
She herself is living a very stressful life right now, eating steamed buns, noodles, and instant noodles every day.
She saved up little by little to buy this birthday cake.
"You ungrateful wretch! I've raised you for so long, nurtured you into a superstar, and you've already forgotten how you grew up, haven't you?" The foster mother's face was ugly as she glared angrily at Jinxi.
“I really don’t have any money right now. I just signed with the company and I don’t have any schedule yet. Wait for me for a while, and I’ll give you a million.”
Jinxi plans to sever ties with her family after giving them this million, as she cannot satisfy them.
Upon hearing the word "million," the adoptive parents and younger brother's eyes lit up instantly.
They've never seen a million dollars before; they're imagining what it would be like for their family to own one.
Big villa, luxury cars, nanny...
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Jinxi was about to leave with the cake, but Jindong had already opened it and was ready to eat it.
Helpless, Jinxi had no choice but to leave empty-handed, leaving the cake for them.
Back in her rented apartment, Jinxi lay on the sofa, finally releasing a lot of her stress.
"Snack Buckle"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Jinxi got up, opened the door, and there was Wen Zijin.
This was expected.
Since Jinxi took Wen Zijin in for one night, the two have been seeing each other frequently. They get along very well and have become best friends over time.
"close the door."
Jinxi curled up back on the sofa.
Wen Zijin entered the house, closed the door, changed her shoes, and then placed the cake she was carrying on the coffee table.
Jinxi stood up. "Why did you buy a cake?"
"Isn't today your birthday?" Wen Zijin asked.
"how do you know?"
"There's nothing I don't know if I want to know something." Wen Zijin smiled playfully, then opened the cake, lit the candles, and let her make a wish.
After making a wish and blowing out the candles, there was another knock on the door.
Wen Zijin ran out, "My takeout has arrived."
"Hello, this is your takeout order. Please confirm the food."
"OK, thanks."
Wen Zijin happily placed the takeout on the coffee table.
Crayfish, fish in vinegar sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised dishes, boiled fish fillets... it's a very generous spread, and there are also snacks, wine, and milk.
Jinxi looked at the large table covered with delicious food and swallowed hard.
She hadn't eaten any carbohydrates for several months.
It wasn't just because I had to prepare for the audition, but also because I didn't have the money.
"Eat up, little birthday boy."
Wen Zijin gently patted Jinxi's head and said very tenderly.
Jinxi looked at Wen Zijin with tears in her eyes.
In this world, Wen Zijin is definitely the one who treats her the best.
"What's wrong? You're so easily moved to tears. You're too easily satisfied."
Wen Zijin peels shrimp.
Jinxi burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah... In this world, you are the best person to me."
