At rhe same time, in the Holi family’s villa, the Hou family was busy arranging today’s birthday banquet. In order to keep up appearances, Mrs. Hou went to the housekeeping company early in the morning to hire more than ten nannies. In addition, she went to a five-star hotel to hire three chefs to help. Today’s birthday banquet was a unique opportunity for their family. Mrs. Hou had been busy ever since she woke up and handled every detail herself. By the time everything was arranged, she was so tired that she could barely walk. Mr. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu were so tired that they collapsed onto rhe sofa. Mr. Hou asked, “Who did you invite?” Mrs. Hou said, “I’ve sent invitations to all the big shots in the inner clan, as well as the head of the Hou family and my brother Zhang Changjiu.”
When Mr. Hou heard this, he frowned in displeasure. “I have no objections if you want to show off in front of the Hou family’s inner clan, but you shouldn’t have invited that bastard Zhang Changjiu over. I don’t want to see him!” Thinking back to how Zhang Changjiu humiliated him in front of so many people, he still couldn’t forget rhe embarrassment and humiliation he felt back then. At the thought of his face, Mr. Hou couldn’t help but want to flare up. Mrs. Hou was about to speak when a servant brought a chubby man in. Coincidentally, this person was Zhang Changjiu. When Mr. Hou saw him appear, he immediately turned around and walked to the side without even bothering to look at him.
Mrs. Hou glared ar him and hurriedly wenr forward to receive Zhang Changjiu. Zhang Changjiu said enviously, “Sisrer, you’re so lucky. Junlai managed to find such an outstanding wife. You didn’t raise this son for nothing! Now, everyone is saying that Jian Xing’er is the chairman of the Tianmei Corporation. Tianmei Corporation is a dark horse that countless large corporations in the Demon Province want to cooperate with!” With that, Zhang Changjiu added secretively, “I also heard that the President of the Demon Province Chamber of Commerce, Bai Hao, is Jian Xing er s best friend? Jian Xing’er is very impressive! ‘ Mrs. Hou said proudly, “Of course, people without true ability can’t enter our family’s door.” Zhang Changjiu asked tentatively, “But I heard someone say that Jian Xing’er divorced Jun Lai. Is there such a thing?” Mrs. Hou replied, “Yes… but they will remarry soon!” The smile on Zhang Changjiu s face faded as soon as he heard this, since his purpose of coming here was to please Jian Xing’er. If Jian Xing’er divorced Hou Junlai, he would have made this trip for nothing.
Mrs. Hou said, “Brother, you’ve misunderstood. Jian Xing’er and Junlai are very close. They just had a small conflict some time ago, and it won’t be long before they remarry.” Then, she added, “Look, once Jian Xing’er heard that Junlai’s father was celebrating his birthday, she abandoned everything in the corporation and rushed over to celebrate for him. I’ll find an opportunity to persuade her and Junlai to settle the remarriage procedures as soon as possible so that everyone won’t have to worry about them…” When Zhang Changjiu heard this, the expression on his face relaxed a little. Then, Zhang Changjiu advised earnestly, “That’s more like it. As elders, you can’t let these young people fool around! Since the two of them have feelings for each other, how can they divorce so easily? Hurry up and urge them to remarry! This matter can’t be delayed!” Mrs. Hou said, “Don’t worry, they won’t be separated. Jian Xing’er is very loyal to Junlai!”
Zhang Changjiu’s intention to curry favor was obvious. When Mr. Hou saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh mockingly. Zhang Changjiu waved at Mr. Hou and said, “1 was so busy chatting with you that I forgot the most important thing. Brother-in-law, this is my birthday gift for you. Come and take a look.” Zhang Changjiu placed the sandalwood box in his hand on the coffee table and reached out to open the lid. As the lid was opened, a bottle of ancient good wine appeared in front of everyone. This kind of hundred-year-old wine was difficult to buy even if one had money. It was extremely precious. Zhang Changjiu knew that Mr. Hou’s greatest hobby was drinking wine, so he specifically prepared such a gift. As expected, after Mr. Hou saw this bottle of hundred-year-old good wine, his stiff expression relaxed a little. When he looked at Zhang Changjiu again, Zhang Changjiu no longer seemed like such an eyesore.
“Brother-in-law, I’d like to apologize to you today. I’ve made you suffer in the past. We’re the closest family to each other. In the past, I had a bad temper, so please be magnanimous and don’t lower yourself to my level.” Mr. Hou had originally planned to cut ties with Zhang Changjiu for the rest of his life, but when he saw such a bottle of good wine, he couldn’t help but waver. After thinking about it, he finally decided to forgive Zhang Changjiu., After all, who could turn down good wine?!
