"Mom!" Just as Zhao Huizhen was about to say something, Shen Jiayan brought Zhao Ziyan over.

Both of them looked serious, and Shen Jiayan even toned down his usual childish and mischievous tone.

Zhao Huizhen looked at the two of them, "What's wrong?"

"Mom and Dad, there are some things I need to tell you now," Shen Jiayan said seriously. "You go first."

Shen Jiayan asked Zhao Ziyan to recount the events of the old man's birthday banquet to Shen Ting'an and his wife. After Zhao Ziyan finished speaking, he then recounted what Xiang Lu had told them at the wedding of the Zhou Family's eldest daughter.

He should have mentioned this a long time ago. He had planned to bring it up after attending the Zhou Family's wedding and returning home. But somehow, he completely forgot about it once he got home. It was only today, when Zhao Ziyan brought up the matter at the old man's birthday banquet, that he remembered.

He should hurry up and bring Zhao Ziyan over, otherwise he's afraid he'll forget about her again!

Zhao Huizhen was so shocked by what the two were saying that she didn't know what to say. She even began to wonder if the Shen Anya she had seen was the same Shen Anya they were talking about.

To her utter astonishment, Shen Anya, whom she had watched grow up and always thought was a well-behaved child, would do such a thing, especially Xiang Lu Xiang Lu, her good friend, who actually used Xiang Lu to deal with Luoluo!

She actually used someone she was once so close to! In her eyes, is the entire Shen Family just a pawn she uses to deal with Luoluo?

That was terrifying! Oh right, what was she going to say that day?!

The day she learned that Luoluo was being called an illegitimate child, but that even the closest and most intimate people didn't know about it, she called Jingyao, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Anya who had returned.

That was the last thing that happened, but we absolutely cannot let that happen again this time!

"Mom?! Are you alright?" Shen Jiayan asked, worried as she saw her brows furrowed and her silence.

He should have said it in two parts. Now he said it all at once. What if his mother can't accept it and faints from anger like his father did last time?

"Mom, what's wrong? Say something!" Shen Jiayan was truly panicked!

Shen Ting'an also quickly stepped forward to check the situation, "Huizhen?"

Shen Jingyao had already taken out his phone to call an ambulance.

"I remember now!" Zhao Huizhen suddenly seemed to wake up; she remembered what she was going to say that day.

"Jingyao," Zhao Huizhen looked at Shen Jingyao, sweat still on her forehead, her eyes resolute, "Go and investigate Anya's biological parents!"

It's time to send them away!

The banquet ended promptly at 10:30 p. m.

When everyone returned to the Shen Family Villa, the Nanny Aunt Chen, was already prepared. Hearing the sound of a car outside, she deftly lit the candles on the birthday cake and then turned off all the lights in the villa!

When Shen Luoluo opened the door, this was the scene she saw: the living room was decorated with all sorts of balloons, and the largest wall was decorated with balloons arranged to spell out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY," creating a strong birthday atmosphere.

Just then, the birthday song started playing behind them. Shen Luoluo was half-pushed and half-led by Zhao Huizhen and walked to the cake.

Encouraged by them, they made a wish and blew out the candles.

Under the firelight, the family wore happy and joyful smiles.

"How was my setup? Isn't it beautiful!" As soon as the birthday ceremony ended, Shen Xiche quickly took credit.

Shen Jiayan was the first to object, "Have some shame! This was my idea!"

"Who's shameless? You?" Shen Xiche retorted sarcastically, "You came up with this idea? I'd believe you more if you said you were a woman!"

"Why not!" Shen Jiayan retorted. Although Jiang Yi told him, he only found out by asking around that girls liked this kind of ritual. If it wasn't his idea, whose was it? He didn't care! It had to be his!

"Thank you." Shen Luoluo interrupted them. Regardless of whose idea it was or who did it, she could tell that they had put a lot of thought into preparing this birthday for her.

Zhao Huizhen's eyes welled up with tears. She patted Shen Jiayan on the shoulder and said, "What's all the fuss about? You always argue with Xi Che every time you meet. Didn't you prepare a birthday present for your sister? Hurry up and take it out!"

Shen Jiayan had indeed prepared a birthday gift. Upon hearing this, he took it out from the drawer next to him, but before handing it to him, he warned, "You're not allowed to look at it now. Go back to your room and look at it!"

Shen Luoluo was amused by him, "Okay."

"I also have something for Luoluo," Shen Jingyao said, taking out a Black Card and handing it to Shen Luoluo.

Shen Xiche immediately protested, letting out a wail. "Shen Jingyao, you cheated!"

"That's right! Big brother, you're taking advantage of us because we're broke!" Shen Jiayan rarely stood on the same side as Shen Xiche.

Shen Jingyao didn't take it to heart. "I just picked a gift that I thought was nice, within my means. I think you all felt the same way."

Shen Xiche and Shen Jiayan:...

I have to say, your older brother is truly amazing! They accepted their defeat wholeheartedly!

The two of them simultaneously gave a thumbs-up. "Big brother, you win."

Zhao Huizhen looked at the group of them, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Xi Che, what about you? You're the only one left!"

Shen Xiche raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and said with an air of arrogance, "My gift has a very special meaning."

When Shen Luoluo saw him raise his eyebrows, she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, he clapped his hands and said, "Come in." Several boys walked in from the door and greeted them one by one.

"Luoluo, these are the most handsome guys in our Training Camp. It's your birthday today, so just pick a few and let them keep you happy!"

Shen Luoluo:...

Those who know him say he's a good friend, but those who don't might think he's a brothel owner who found her a few male prostitutes!

This is indeed of extraordinary significance, but she's only 17 years old, a minor!!!

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Shen Xiche assumed she was shy. "It's okay, don't be shy, let me introduce them!"
