179 Birthday Banquet for the Old Man

Zhou Yanshen frowned and subconsciously dodged to the side.

Bang—

Qiao Rou, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground.

She gritted her teeth in pain. “Yanshen, it hurts.”

Zhou Yanshen knew at a glance that she had a bad fall.

He stuffed his hands into his pockets and kept a distance from her. “Can you get up?”

“I don’t think so.” In order to get his sympathy, Qiao Rou put on a pitiful expression.

“I’ll get someone to help you up.”

Zhou Yanshen called two female employees over at the front desk and watched as they helped Qiao Rou to the sofa.

What he did made Qiao Rou dumbfounded.

“Yanshen.” She reached out to grab his hand, but she missed. “Can you hug me?”

“Are you daydreaming?”

“I…”

“Call an ambulance for her.” Zhou Yanshen, who had lost his patience, turned around and left.

He met the designated driver at the door and returned home in the hazy night. He tried his best to talk to Qian Yue.

“Location.”

“Friday, the old man’s birthday banquet.”

Two concise messages popped up.

Zhou Yanshen found the birthday gift he had prepared in the study and went to the Lin family’s villa on Friday.

It was rare for Lin Hongyuan to hold a birthday banquet for Lin Kanglu.

He originally wanted to invite all the famous people in Lin City, but Lin Kanglu refused this idea.

Therefore, he only invited the Pei and Chu families, as well as Zhou Yanshen and Shen Yi.

The garden outside the villa was specially decorated.

Whether it was the branches, flowerpots, or railings, they were all hung with red lanterns of different sizes.

The stone path leading to the living room was also covered with a red carpet, showing the festive atmosphere.

“Dad, have some tea.” Fang Liu poured him a cup of tea and brought it to him with both hands.

Lin Kanglu took the teacup and took two sips.

He tugged at the hem of his Tang suit and looked at her kindly. “Where did Hongyuan go again?”

“He went to the entrance of the neighborhood to pick up Uncle Chu and the others.”

“Is there a need to pick them up?”

Fang Liu scooped up a spoonful of cake. “There are many residents in this neighborhood. He’s afraid they won’t be able to find here.”

“I think he’s too excited.” Lin Hongyuan had been busy doing this and that since early in the morning.

Those who did not know better would think that he was the one having birthday.

“He’s nervous.” Fang Liu was about to tell him why when her stomach churned again.

Seeing that she was retching, Lin Kanglu patted her back twice. “Are you okay?”

“Maybe I ate something I shouldn’t.”

“Get Hongyuan to accompany you to the hospital.”

“It’s fine.” Fang Liu took two sips of water to warm her uncomfortable stomach. “I’ll be fine after taking some pills.”

“You can’t take pills casually.”

Lin Kanglu asked Fang Liu to make an appointment with a doctor, his strong attitude mixed with concern.

Fang Liu agreed with a smile, afraid that he would be worried.

The moment she put down her phone, footsteps came from the door and several faces appeared.

“Old Lin.” Chu Kui glanced at the red lanterns hanging in the living room and clicked his tongue. “It looks like you’re celebrating the new year.”

“Yo, you’re even wearing a red jacket.” Pei Zhen sized up the dark red Tang suit on him.

The moment the two of them entered the house, the atmosphere became lively.
