Chapter 480 The Happiest Day
As darkness fell, Gu Nanfeng returned to the villa.
On the way back, they ran into Han Junhe, and the two greeted each other coldly and distantly.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Happy birthday, Zhouzhou.
Han Junhe handed the birthday gift to Jiang Zhouzhou with a bright smile on her face.
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaohe."
Gu Nanfeng had just returned and hadn't even had time to change his coat when Old Master Ji called him to the kitchen to help.
"Little Gu! My grandson told me you're a great cook, you have to show me your skills tonight."
Grandpa Ji handed his only apron to Gu Nanfeng, solemnly entrusting him with an important task.
Yin Yue chimed in, "I'd also like to try President Gu's cooking."
Lin Chen also came running over, "Me too, me too."
Urged on by these people, Gu Nanfeng had no chance to refuse.
Han Junhe smiled and said, "Since President Gu is cooking for me personally, I have to eat a few more bites."
Seeing that Gu Nanfeng had become the target of everyone's criticism as soon as he appeared, Lin Wujing quietly asked Jiang Zhouzhou, "Why do I feel like Brother Nanfeng is being ostracized?"
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the man who was taking off his coat and tying an apron, and replied, "He deserved it."
Lin Wujing immediately became excited, "Quick, quick, tell me about it."
Yu Yue and Han Junhe, who were standing nearby, also came over.
Both of them had a look of eager anticipation in their eyes.
Jiang Zhouzhou felt a little embarrassed. The four of them huddled together in a small circle, and she whispered about Gu Nanfeng's actions.
Lin Wujing: "Oh my god! I never thought he was this kind of person."
Yu Yue: "You really can't judge a book by its cover."
Han Junhe: "I really want to post him on my WeChat Moments so that everyone can see his true colors."
In fact, Gu Nanfeng didn't do anything that would be considered outrageous by both gods and men.
Presumably, under the pretext of company business, while discussing matters with Yin Yue via video call, he deliberately hugged and kissed some innocent girl who was unaware of his intentions...
Under the pretext of helping the Lin family expand their business, Lin Chen was transferred to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange...
I heard that Grandpa Ji loves tea, and he sends him West Lake Longjing and aged Biluochun tea every now and then...
Etc., etc.
The sheer number of things, big and small, is too numerous to recount.
Fortunately, Lin Chen was the only son in the Lin family. When he called home, he cried and wailed, "Mom, the big cockroaches in Shenzhen can fly."
Then, he came back.
Lin Wujing wiped her forehead and said with great emotion, "Brother Nanfeng hasn't been beaten up yet, purely because he has a good background."
Looking again toward the kitchen, Lin Wujing completely abandoned her sympathy.
Meanwhile, after chatting with Han Yunhe for a while, the two found themselves getting along very well.
Ever since discovering a new world in Zhouzhou's live stream, Han Junhe, who had always followed the rules, went to a club.
Once this happens once, it will happen again and again, countless times.
Of course, she wouldn't touch the men at the club.
She enrolled in a men's college, and the student there was even a physical education student.
Lin Wujing's eyes widened, then she gave a thumbs up: "Sister, you are truly my role model!"
Han Junhe smiled and said, "After all, I don't plan to get married in this life, so I might as well enjoy myself while I can."
She's rich and beautiful, and a legally protected certificate will only make people covet her assets. She might as well live life to the fullest.
An enticing aroma gradually wafted from the kitchen.
Ji Yu'an helped Grandpa Ji hang up the colorful balloons.
Xiao Dian kept taking videos of Zhou Zhou with her phone, recording her happy moments.
Yin Yue's gentle gaze followed Zhou Zhou's every move.
Lin Chen would occasionally run to the kitchen to help, taking the opportunity to sneak a few bites of food.
After several failed attempts to make durian cakes, Zhou Xian finally resorted to Plan B, having the cake shop deliver the cakes she had ordered in advance.
Zhouzhou's phone rang; she received a call from an unknown number.
She walked alone to the villa entrance, where staff from Lanxing Jewelry were waiting.
"Miss Jiang, this is a birthday gift from Mr. Chao."
Happy birthday!
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Thank you."
After the staff left, Jiang Zhouzhou opened the gift box.
It's a crown.
It was inlaid with colorful gemstones, the largest of which was almost half the size of her fist.
Zhouzhou ran her fingers over the gemstone, the cool touch reminding her of someone's face.
During those two days she didn't want to remember, she deceived someone's true feelings with the clumsiest lie.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Zhouzhou opened the chat box with Chaomu.
[Jiang Zhouzhou: I've received the gift, thank you]
[Morning and Evening: Happy Birthday]
Normally, the conversation would have died by now.
Just as Jiang Zhouzhou was about to turn off the screen, the other party called.
Jiang Zhouzhou paused for a moment, then swiped to answer the call.
"Happy birthday. I thought about it and decided I wanted to say it to you in person." A cool voice came through the phone.
Jiang Zhouzhou gripped her phone tightly: "Thank you, Brother Chaomu, now..."
Chao Mu: "I'm abroad."
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
Chao Mu slowly began to speak: "That day... I heard it."
Jiang Zhouzhou was a little confused and didn't understand what he said.
Fortunately, the other party gave her a reminder.
“That day at the jewelry exhibition, you mentioned the multi-tongued white butterfly. I heard you say that and I’ve always been curious about what this butterfly looks like, so I came abroad to see it.”
In his gloomy life, he felt like a gray moth.
The first person to say that he was a beautiful butterfly.
Despite his difficult-to-pronounce name, he remembered it with perfect clarity.
She quietly searched on her phone for what the butterfly looked like, and when the picture appeared, her light amber eyes lingered on the phone screen for a long time.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and the invisible barrier between them had faded away.
Zhouzhou's laughter gradually increased, but suddenly she asked fiercely, "Tell me honestly, was it you who gave me the reward in the annual competition?"
The person on the other end feigned ignorance: "Huh?"
Jiang Zhouzhou snorted coldly: "Do I need to remind you? Zhouzhou's... future husband."
She deliberately dragged out the words, but after the name came out of her mouth completely, she belatedly felt ashamed.
A man's soft chuckle reached my ears.
"How do you know it was me?"
Jiang Zhouzhou hesitated before saying, "Actually, it's quite easy to guess, because if it's Chao Xi, she's rather... lewd and perverted."
But during the annual competition, this account only shouted "wife, wife" loudly in the live chat.
The night breeze wiped away the embarrassment from her face.
Jiang Zhouzhou: "Brother Chaomu, are you coming to the awards ceremony?"
Asagi: "If I go, I'll probably get beaten up."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
Asagami: "But if you want me to go, I'll participate even if it means getting beaten up."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "Okay, I'll reimburse your medical expenses."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhouzhou looked down at the crown in her hand, the colorful gems shimmering brilliantly in the dim light.
She looked up again and saw the brightly lit living room.
Under the warm, inviting lights, everyone's face was beaming with a joyful smile.
When the last dish was served, Grandpa Ji held the longevity noodles he had cooked in both hands and placed them where Zhouzhou was supposed to sit.
Tangyuan was sharpening its claws on the sofa, while Nian Gao (a type of rice cake) was circling around everyone's legs.
Zhou Xian's voice came: "Jiang Zhouzhou, stop standing there like an idiot, come in quickly."
A bright smile spread across Jiang Zhouzhou's face.
"Coming!"
