Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Zhan Luya followed everyone's gaze and her eyes widened instantly.

Is this Jinxi?

She was so beautiful that, for a fleeting moment, she made this socialite feel somewhat inferior, afraid, and terrified.

No, what she's wearing is the latest design by the famous designer Alice. It hasn't been released to the public yet; only the design sketches have been made public. The pre-sale price is already over a hundred million. How could she possibly have it?

Isn't she just an ordinary country bumpkin? How come she has such an expensive dress? And she looks so good in it, it's like it was tailor-made for her.

Zhan Luya's mind was in complete chaos, her CPU was about to overheat, and she almost lost her composure as a young lady.

Jin Xi, with graceful and poised manners, walked slowly towards Zhan Luya in her crystal high heels, presented her gift, and smiled naturally and generously, "Happy birthday, Zhan Luya."

Zhan Luya was stunned for a long time before she reacted, took the gift, and tossed it to the maid beside her.

She wanted to turn her back and leave, showing no respect to Jinxi and embarrassing her, but this wasn't a school; it was her coming-of-age ceremony. Countless eyes and cameras were watching her, and her every move would be reported by the media.

She is a recognized princess of Beijing's elite circles, so how could she lose the demeanor befitting a young lady because of a country bumpkin?

Even if she's faking it, she'll keep faking it.

Zhan Luya gave a sweet smile and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jinxi tilted her head.

Zhan Luya looked at Jin Xi, her fists unconsciously clenching at her sides.

"Little Auntie~"

Yoyo suddenly ran over, hugged Jinxi's smooth, fair thighs, touched them, and felt that they felt really good, so she touched them a few more times.

Jinxi was both amused and exasperated, and felt a ticklish sensation on her thigh from Yoyo's touch.

"coming."

Zhan Guiting walked over and saw Jin Xi, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Imani responded to him with a smile.

When Zhan Luya saw that Zhan Guiting had actually taken the initiative to greet Jin Xi, she finally lost control of her expression and became unrecognizable from jealousy.

What's so great about Jinxi that her older brother treats her so well and even speaks to her on his own initiative?

She and her older brother barely exchanged ten words a year, yet Jinxi received special treatment from her brother.

She was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

"Little auntie, come on, let me show you around your house."

The little dumpling held Jinxi's hand and led her in a certain direction.

When Zhan Luya heard what Yoyo said, she almost wanted to beat her to death.

This is clearly her home, so how did they come to call it the Imanishi family's home?

Jinxi is clearly an outsider! How can she treat herself as an outsider while treating Jinxi as her aunt?

At this moment, Zhan Luya hated Yoyo and Jin Xi.

Could it be that the two of them are plotting together to steal everything from her?

She won't let them have their way.

She is the little princess of the Zhan family; blood is thicker than water, and no one can change that.

And Yoyo, if she really pushes him too far, he will definitely do everything he can to get rid of her.

Anyway, she was just an illegitimate child, and over time, Zhan Weiguo and Qin Yimo naturally forgot about her.

After all, the title of "illegitimate daughter" doesn't sound very nice.

Suddenly, an elegant piano melody drifted from the second floor, sometimes as thin as a wisp of silk, sometimes ethereal and otherworldly. The ancient and ethereal piano music seemed to heal the soul like heavenly music, calming the mind and soothing the soul.

Everyone was so engrossed in the music that they didn't notice a man and a woman walking in from outside.

The man's lips curled slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. His peach blossom eyes were full of affection, glancing at the woman beside him from time to time, as gentle and warm as a spring breeze.

Era Law.

The woman's eyes held a melancholy that resembled a vibrant flame blooming under the moonlight. Her beauty was captivating, yet her expression was serene. She was also immersed in the music, her eyes carrying a fleeting sadness.

Wen Zijin.

"Great job, great job, Auntie is so great."

When the piece ended, Yoyo cheered and applauded Jinxi, who was playing the piano.

Zhan Weiguo, who had been listening to a song at the door, heard the sound of "yo yo" and snapped out of his reverie, then went into the room.

"Chairman Zhan."

When Jinxi saw the elders, she quickly stood up to greet them.

"grandfather."

Yo-yo, she rushed into Zhan Weiguo's arms.

Zhan Weiguo bent down and picked up the little guy.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, doesn't Auntie play beautifully? Just as beautifully as Grandma."

"Yes, it sounds beautiful, just as beautiful as your grandma's." Zhan Weiguo smiled indulgently, then turned his gaze to Jin Xi, looked her over, and asked.

"What is this piece of music?"

“Castle in the Sky,” Imanishi said with a smile.

This is one of her favorite pieces.

You like it too?

"Yes, this piece is famous worldwide for its beautiful melody and moving rhythm. It expresses a gentle sadness, but within that sadness lies a spirit of longing, aspiration, striving, and perseverance. Even knowing the tragic outcome, it shows an attitude of unwavering determination and courage. The melody doesn't exhibit extremely strong fluctuations, but rather exists in a quiet and soothing state, which to some extent expresses Joe Hisaishi's yearning for a better life," Imanishi said with a smile.

The attitude towards the war has shifted from scrutiny to appreciation.

Qin Yimo also liked this piece when she was young, and her understanding of it was almost identical to what Jin Xi is saying now.

"Master, Miss's birthday banquet is about to begin."

The housekeeper came over to remind them.

"Let's go downstairs and celebrate the birthday of the little one."

Zhan Weiguo carried Yoyo, with Jinxi following behind, as they went downstairs and into the courtyard.

Everyone saw that Grandpa Zhan was holding a little girl and began to speculate about her identity.

Zhan Weiguo and Qin Yimo took the stage, expressed their gratitude and welcome to the guests, and then shared some thoughts on their children's growth.

The audience erupted in applause.

Among the guests, Ji Yuanlu and Wen Zijin sat in the middle, with Wen Zijin looking at Zhan Guiting below the stage.

Zhan Guiting was holding his precious daughter in his arms and didn't notice her at all.

In the past, even in a crowded food street, Zhan Guiting could always find himself immediately.

Now, it's as if he's blind; they're only a dozen meters apart, yet he doesn't notice a thing.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yuanlu asked, looking down at Wen Zijin who seemed distracted.

"It's nothing." Wen Zijin turned her gaze back to the stage.

On stage, Zhan Luya was already speaking into the microphone.

After the speech, everyone went to the back garden to prepare for the meal.

Wen Zijin took the blanket off her knees and stood up.

Zhan Guiting, holding Yoyo, turned around and saw a familiar figure from behind.

The man's heart skipped a beat.

Wen Zijin?

Zhan Guiting handed Youyou to Zhan Juzhou, who was standing to the side, but Youyou wouldn't let Zhan Juzhou hold her. She kicked her little feet and slid off Zhan Juzhou's arms, then ran away.

Zhan Juzhou wanted to chase after him, but the little guy had already touched Jin Xi's white thighs and wanted a hug.

Zhan Juzhou disliked Jinxi, so he did not pursue him.

Zhan Guiting turned around and suddenly realized that the person was gone.

He walked over in a few steps, frantically searching everywhere, but couldn't find that familiar figure.

Am I hallucinating? Am I seeing things?

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Zhan Juzhou asked, looking at Zhan Guiting, whose face was deathly pale.

"The list, give me the list," Zhan Guiting said anxiously.

Zhan Juzhou obtained the guest list from the butler.

Zhan Guiting quickly flipped through the pages.

Turning to the third page, Wen Zijin's name appeared prominently.

She's back?!

"Wen Zijin? Isn't this my sister-in-law? She's back."

Zhan Juzhou also saw the name and shouted it out. He then looked around but couldn't find it.
