Chapter 439 Birthday Party
The next day, Chi Ying came to the bridal chamber from the old house.
"Xiaoyu, you and Juanyan have always been reluctant to hold a wedding. Now grandma thinks it's time to hold a wedding for you. What do you think?"
Nan Yu sat next to Chi Ying, with a hint of hesitation on her face.
"Grandma, regarding the wedding, I..."
Chi Ying grabbed Nan Yu's hand and said, "Xiao Yu, your birthday is next month. I want to hold the wedding on your birthday to double the happiness."
Huo Juanyan, who was standing by, heard this and turned to look at Nan Yu. "Your birthday is still a month away. There's no rush for this matter. You can think about it again."
Seeing Huo Junyan defending Nan Yu, Chi Ying couldn't help but raise her lips. She smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry, I'll think about it later."
After saying that, she patted Nan Yu's hand, her eyes full of love.
Nan Yu nodded gently, "Grandma, maybe I need to confirm the wedding with my family."
Her parents had said before that they would throw her a good birthday party on her birthday to make up for the absence of her birthday for more than 20 years.
In fact, she didn't care, after all, it was all in the past.
But seeing that her parents were so concerned, she couldn't say no, so she nodded.
Now grandma is proposing to hold the wedding on her birthday, but I’m afraid my parents may not agree.
Chi Ying understood and knew that the key to the problem lay with Nan.
She patted Nanyu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about this matter. Grandma will go talk to your parents in a few days."
"Then let's see if there's a good way to hold your birthday party and wedding together."
Seeing this, Nan Yu nodded and said, "Okay, Grandma, then you talk to my parents. I'm fine with any outcome."
After saying that, she turned around and smiled at Huo Juanyan.
Huo Junyan moved closer to her, interlocked their fingers, and said nothing more.
Chi Ying acted quickly and went to the Nan family's ancestral home that night.
Duan Zhu's body is recovering quickly now and he is no longer as weak as before.
As soon as she heard that Chi Ying was coming, she took the initiative to greet her.
"Mrs. Huo, why are you here?"
When Chi Ying saw Duan Zhu, she realized that Nan Yu looked very much like her.
"Duan Zhu, I came here today because of Xiaoyu's matter."
Duan Zhu was slightly stunned when she heard this. "Madam Huo, didn't Xiaoyu say she didn't want a divorce? Are you here for something else?"
Chi Ying looked at Duan Zhu in front of her and said with a smile: "I'm not here for a divorce, I'm here for their wedding."
Duan Zhu looked at her, "Wedding?"
Chi Ying explained: "At the beginning, Xiaoyu and Junyan got the marriage certificate, but they didn't have a wedding. Now that their relationship is getting closer and closer, I, as a grandmother, want to give Xiaoyu a wedding."
Duan Zhu took a sip of the tea in front of her and said elegantly, "Madam, the wedding must be held. Xiaoyu is my daughter, and I will never let her suffer any injustice."
Chi Ying smiled kindly, "Yes, so I came here today to discuss the wedding date with you."
Duan Zhu put down the teacup and looked at Chi Ying in confusion.
"What date do you want to pick?"
Chi Ying turned around and gave Xu Qi a look.
Xu Qi stepped forward immediately with a kind smile.
"Madam Nan, next month's Young Madam's birthday is a rare good day. We want to hold the wedding on her birthday."
Duan Zhu frowned when he heard this, "It's not appropriate to hold a wedding on that day."
She looked up at Chi Ying, her eyes full of unhappiness.
"We have been looking for Xiaoyu for more than 20 years. We finally found her this year and were able to bring her home."
"In the end, she married into your Huo family. She didn't want to get a divorce, and I could accept that. But her birthday was the day we wanted to tell everyone that she was back with us."
"Don't tell others that our daughter, whom we finally found, didn't even come back to us and got married off."
When Duan Zhu said this, he began to get a little excited.
She looked at Chi Ying and said, "Mrs. Huo, please choose a new date for the wedding. Xiaoyu's birthday party will never be her wedding party."
After that, she stood up and said to the housekeeper, "I'm tired, please send Madam Huo back."
Nan's housekeeper immediately came to Chi Ying.
"Mrs. Huo, please."
Chi Ying, who originally wanted to say something, looked at Duan Zhu's figure leaving and suddenly realized how wrong his plan was.
She sighed, gripped her cane tightly, and walked out of the Nan family's ancestral home.
As soon as they went out, Xu Qi, who was supporting Chi Ying, asked, "Madam, what should we do now?"
Chi Ying looked back at Nan, then turned to Xu Qi and said, "Let's pick a date after Xiaoyu's birthday, a day closest to the end of the birthday party."
Xu Qi understood instantly, "Okay, old lady."
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was Nanyu's birthday.
Because it was Nan Yu's birthday, they brought her back from the Huo family to live in the ancestral home.
She woke up early in the morning and was asked to do her hair.
After everything was done, Duan Zhu appeared from the direction of the door and came into the room.
She looked at the beautiful Nan Yu in front of her, turned around and took from the servant's hand the jewelry she had prepared for Nan Yu a long time ago.
"Xiao Yu, Mommy owes you too much, and I don't know what to give you best. This is the gift for your 18th birthday that Mommy prepared for you before you were born."
"I didn't expect that after twenty-three years, I would deliver it to you on your twenty-third birthday."
When Nan Yu saw the imperial green jewel in her hand, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"mom……"
Duan Zhu took off the imperial green jadeite necklace and put it on Nan Yu's snow-white neck.
"Xiaoyu, let mom put it on you personally."
Nan Yu saw Duan Zhu's expression through the mirror, but did not stop her and accepted the jade necklace.
After putting it on, Duan Zhu looked at the beautiful Nan Yu in the mirror. Her eyes flashed with tears, and she said to Nan Yu, "My daughter is so beautiful."
Nan Yu raised the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly.
Duan Zhu looked at her again, smiled, and then stood up, "Xiao Yu, the guests downstairs are waiting for you, let's go down together."
Nan Yu stood up slowly, wearing a turquoise silk dress, she was as beautiful as an angel who had fallen into the world.
She put her arm around Duan Zhu's and said softly, "Okay."
The mother and daughter went downstairs together. There were guests downstairs.
The moment they appeared, everyone's eyes were on them.
"This must be the real daughter of the Nan family, right? She looks just like Madam Nan when she was young."
"At the last banquet, I knew at first glance that Nan Qingqing was a fake. This one is not like this one, where Madam Nan personally accompanies her, which shows how much she dotes on him."
"I heard that Miss Nan has already obtained her marriage certificate, and her wedding will be in three days."
"Really? Who is she going to marry?"
"Don't you know who her partner is? Her partner is Huo Juanyan, the head of the Huo family!"
Huo Junyan stood out from the crowd, tall and slender, and a stiff suit that highlighted his figure perfectly.
He stood at the stairs, and the moment Nan Yu came down, he reached out and took Nan Yu's slender white hand.
Nan Yu smiled at him, held his hand tightly, and stood side by side with him, a perfect match.
Everyone who saw this scene exclaimed in amazement.
"When did Master Huo stand up?"
"I heard that it was Miss Nan who cured the Huo family's legs a month ago. Miss Nan is the legendary ghost doctor. When she was treating the Huo family's illness, the two gradually fell in love with each other."
"So these two got married?"
"Yes, the Nan family and the Huo family are the top two of the four major families in City A. Their marriage can be regarded as a strong alliance."
"They are a perfect match, handsome and pretty."
"Speaking of which, what about Nan Qingqing who pretended to be the daughter of the Nan family?"
"Nan Qingqing? I heard that her father Nan Luzhi died and her mother Sheng Ruomei went crazy. She returned home to inherit the Nan family's company, but the company owed too much money and had a big funding gap. She took the last remaining money and ran away."
"While escaping, she seemed to be hit and killed by an enemy of the Nan family."
"The Nan family has brought this upon themselves. They are reaping the fruits of their own actions."
……
When Nan Yu heard what they said, a hint of solemnity flashed across her eyes.
If Nan Luzhi had not gone to the hospital and committed murder and arson for money, resulting in the disappearance of both her and Nan Qingqing.
Perhaps the Nan family would not have ended up like this.
Huo Juanyan sensed Nan Yu's unhappiness, so he gently put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?"
Nan Yu slowly raised her head and met those affectionate eyes, seeing his worry.
She smiled and shook her head.
"fine."
It's all over. Everything that happened before is over.
At this moment, she has started a new life.
Huo Juanyan held Nan Yu's hand tightly, placed it on his lips and gently kissed the fingertips.
"Miss Nan, may I have the honor of asking you to dance with me?"
Nan Yu looked at the serious Huo Junyan, smiled slightly, and placed her hand in Huo Junyan's palm.
"Okay~"
Huo Junyan held her hand tightly with one hand and circled her slender waist with the other.
Music was heard all around.
He put his arms around Nan Yu's waist and danced with her on the dance floor, becoming the focus of the whole audience.
Everyone applauded and looked at this perfect match made in heaven.
Duan Zhu leaned in Nan Bofu's arms, looking at Nan Yu in the center, tears of emotion flowing from her eyes.
"Bofu, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Nan Bofu hugged her waist tightly and said to her with a smile: "Azhu, this is not a dream, it is all real."
"Xiaoyu returned to us and found her lover."
Duan Zhu wiped her tears and said, "Don't forget the birthday present I'll prepare for Xiaoyu later."
Nan Bofu said quickly: "Everything is ready. We can start at eight o'clock."
Nanzhou, who was downstairs, looked at the two people dancing, with a hint of jealousy on his face.
He turned to look at Nan Zhuoyuan, "Brother, what's so good about Huo Juanyan? Why does Xiaoyu like him?"
Nan Zhuoyuan, who was holding his daughter, heard this, turned his head to look at Nan Zhou, and then looked at Nan Yu who was full of happiness. He smiled and said, "Huo Juanyan is pretty good. He is rich, pretty, and capable. He is in charge of the entire Huo Group at a young age. What's wrong with that?"
"I think it's normal for Xiaoyu to like him."
Hearing this, Nan Zhou widened his eyes and looked at Nan Zhuoyuan in surprise, "Brother, why are you talking to Huo Juanyan?"
Nan Zhuoyuan glanced at him and said, "Be careful with your wording. I have never objected to Xiaoyu and Huo Juanyan being together. I am very satisfied with this brother-in-law."
The daughter in Nan Zhuoyuan's arms also said in a baby voice: "Fourth Uncle, my aunt and my uncle-in-law are a good match. Don't be jealous anymore. If you have time to be jealous, why not find me a fourth aunt instead?"
Nanzhou: "..."
Nan Zhuoyuan patted his shoulder and said, "I think my daughter is right. Think about it and find a wife as soon as possible."
Nanzhou snorted angrily, "None of your business."
Then he checked the time, "It's eight o'clock, time to open the presents."
As soon as he finished speaking, fireworks lit up outside the Nan family's ancestral home.
The fireworks burst out four words——
happy Birthday.
Nan Yu stopped dancing, turned around, and saw this scene.
Nan Bofu and Duan Zhu came down from upstairs and came to Nan Yu's side.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoyu."
Nanzhou appeared pushing a birthday cake and pushed Huo Juanyan out of the seat next to Nanyu.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoyu!"
Nan Zhuoyuan walked over holding Li Xue's hand and came in front of Nan Yu.
"Xiaoyu, we, your parents, and your other brothers have prepared birthday presents for you. See if you like them."
After saying that, he made way for the seat in front of him, revealing the gifts piled up in the corner behind him.
Duan Zhu stood beside Nan Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, as your family, we were all absent from your birthdays before you turned 23. Now on your 23rd birthday, we want to give you all the missing birthday gifts all at once."
"These gifts are all given to you from the time you were one to twenty-three years old."
Nan Bofu also stepped forward and said to Nan Yu, "Xiao Yu, go and take a look and see if you like it."
The gifts were all beautifully wrapped, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into them.
Nan Yu, who had never felt so pampered, turned around and hugged Duan Zhu in front of her.
"Mom, thank you."
The voice was a little choked.
Duan Zhu's eyes also turned red, "My precious daughter."
Nan Bofu looked at this scene, and even though he never got jealous, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Then he held his wife and daughter in his arms.
When the others saw this scene, they also felt sad, as if they could understand how difficult it had been for them to find Nan Yu all these years.
When Nan Yu came out of Duan Zhu's arms, she looked at her eldest brother and fourth brother again.
"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, thank you for preparing such a big surprise for me."
Nan Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "We are all family, no need to be so polite."
Nanzhou also said shyly: "Xiaoyu, it's just a small gift, no need to thank me specially."
Nan Bofu held Nan Yu's shoulders and said, "Xiao Yu, those are the gifts they prepared. Now it's time to look at the 23rd birthday gift your father and mother prepared for you."
The next second, he announced loudly in front of everyone.
"Nan Group has always been my hard work, and I have never decided on a successor. Today, in front of everyone, I want to announce something."
"From today on, my daughter Nan Yu is the next heir to the Nan Group. Within three years, I will let Xiao Yu completely inherit the Nan Group!"
