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

After making her wish, Zhan Luya blew out the candles amidst everyone's blessings, and looked triumphantly at Jinxi, who was being swallowed up by the crowd.

"Jinxi, I heard that it was your 18th birthday a few days ago. If it's alright, would you like to cut this cake with me?"

Zhan Luya smiled naturally and generously, extending an invitation that perfectly showcased the poise of a wealthy heiress.

The guests nearby praised her, saying that this young lady was not at all pretentious, approachable, and kind, which was truly admirable.

Jinxi was stunned, completely unprepared for Zhan Luya to play this trick on her.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Jinxi, thinking that she was the lucky one at the banquet.

To be chosen by the little princess of the Zhan family is an unparalleled honor.

Who knows, it might even change your destiny and make you a celebrity overnight.

Jinxi felt a little embarrassed when Zhan Luya suddenly called out his name and so many people were staring at him.

She knew that Zhan Luya wouldn't be so kind, so there was only one possibility: she wanted to embarrass her in public.

She didn't want to go, but with so many eyes on her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Zhan Luya looked at Jin Xi walking towards her, then glanced slyly at her best friend Yu Miaomiao beside her.

Yu Miaomiao received the signal, nodded slightly to Zhan Luya, and smiled smugly.

Don't worry, leave it all to me!

As Jinxi passed by Yu Miaomiao, Yu Miaomiao suddenly stuck out one foot.

Jinxi was caught off guard and stumbled.

"what……"

With a terrified scream, Jinxi lunged straight forward, about to smash the wine tower in front of her.

Just when everyone thought the little girl was about to fall flat on her face, Jinxi's forward lunge suddenly stopped, halting in mid-air.

"Auntie, what did you eat today? It's a bit heavy."

Everyone's attention shifted to Jinxi, where a three-year-old toddler was grabbing Jinxi's arm and squeezing hard, making the little dumpling's face turn red.

With a mighty "heave-ho," the little boy pulled with all his might, pulling Jinxi back so she could barely stand.

Everyone stared at the little dumpling in disbelief.

A three-year-old child, weighing only about 30 pounds, managed to pull an adult back from the brink of falling!

The little dumpling clapped its hands and walked angrily to Zhan Luya's side, suddenly stomping hard on Yu Miaomiao's foot next to her.

"Ah..." Yu Miaomiao felt a sharp pain in her toes, which caused pain to every nerve in her body, making her gasp.

Damn it, that brat dared to step on him! No matter what, she's a socialite, yet she was bullied by a three-year-old! How infuriating!

"Auntie, didn't your parents teach you to be kind?"

The little guy put his hands on his hips, puffed out his cheeks, and glared at Yu Miaomiao with a fierce look on his face.

"You...I..." Yu Miaomiao was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Oh, do you have some misunderstanding about this older sister?" Zhan Luya quickly stood up to speak for Yu Miaomiao.

"There's no misunderstanding, she's purely bad."

Yu Miaomiao endured the pain, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful. "Baby, what...what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Monster, stay away from me!"

The little guy shoved Yu Miaomiao's hand away, jumped a few meters away, and said in a cute but fierce tone, "My aunt almost fell just now, it was you who tripped her, you bad guy, bullying my aunt."

"Little friend, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Yu Miaomiao was anxious, but she tried her best to calm herself down.

Just as Zhan Luya was about to say something, suddenly, the large screen opposite her, which was originally playing photos and videos of Zhan Luya from childhood to adulthood, suddenly flashed and showed the scene of Yu Miaomiao tripping Jin Xi.

Everyone looked at Yu Miaomiao with a mixture of disdain, sympathy, and surprise. They were surprised that someone from the Yu family dared to cause trouble in the Zhan family; she must have a death wish.

"No, no, I didn't, it wasn't me, I..."

Yu Miaomiao panicked, fearing that the Zhan family would investigate and implicate the Yu family.

Zhan Guiting walked over, his figure slender, his cold eyes like an eagle in the night, aloof and arrogant, giving people a hellish sense of oppression.

Just when everyone thought Yu Miaomiao was finished, Zhan Guiting simply picked up Youyou and said, "Someone, see the guest out."

The bodyguards came in and escorted Yu Miaomiao out.

Yu Miaomiao didn't want to leave. She still wanted to use Zhan Luya to flirt with her crush, Zhan Juzhou. How could she be asked to leave like this? After all, such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime!

Yu Miaomiao looked at Zhan Luya, hoping he would say something on her behalf.

Zhan Luya wanted to speak up for her best friend, but although Zhan Guiting was her brother, she had always been afraid of him since she was a child. She dared not utter a word in rebuttal to what he said, so she chose to remain silent.

Yu Miaomiao looked at the indifferent Zhan Luya. She had done something bad for her and was considered a bad girl, which she accepted, but Zhan Luya didn't say a word in his defense.

"Miss Yu, please."

The bodyguard's tone became harsher, as if he was about to draw his gun if Yu Miaomiao didn't leave soon.

Yu Miaomiao had no choice but to leave in anger.

"Yaya, Yu Miaomiao has impure thoughts, so we shouldn't associate with her anymore."

Qin Yimo was reasonable and knew right from wrong in this matter, so she advised Zhan Luya to be discerning when making friends and not let others think that the little princess of the Zhan family had made friends with a bunch of scoundrels.

"Yes, Mom, I understand." Zhan Luya smiled sweetly.

The birthday party continued, and the atmosphere returned to a relaxed and natural state.

Everyone had a great time, except for Zhan Luya, who became more wary of Jinxi, especially since Yoyo kept calling Jinxi "little aunt."

She couldn't understand why Yoyo would call Jinxi "Little Aunt" but never wanted to call her "Little Aunt." If Yoyo called her "Little Aunt," he would definitely spoil her.

But this brat seems to be born to go against him. She refuses to call him that no matter what, and always says that she's some fake little aunt. Can you believe it?

If someone who didn't know better heard this, they might think she was a fake heiress from the Zhan family.

Zhan Weiguo is also facing similar troubles.

Throughout the banquet, Zhan Weiguo kept observing Jin Xi.

I feel that she really looks like my wife when she was young. Whether it's her diet or her small gestures, she has the shadow of Qin Yimo when she was young.

Zhan Weiguo wanted to tell Qin Yimo his thoughts, but Qin Yimo's gaze remained fixed on Wen Zijin.

The Zhan family members all noticed that Wen Zijin had returned and even attended their daughter Yaya's coming-of-age ceremony as the female companion of Ji Yuanlu, the young master of the Ji family.

This proves that Wen Zijin and Zhan Guiting are truly a thing of the past, and there is absolutely no possibility of them remarrying.

Qin Yimo felt it was a pity. She had always been very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but her family background and social standing were indeed not a good match for the Zhan family.

It doesn't matter if war is fought for the country.
