“Fifty-three?”
Old Master Chu was shocked. He observed Lu Zhou for a while before muttering, “Did he take an immortal pill for eternal youth?”
He pulled Chu Hongzhong over and said in a low voice, “Ask them what they ate. Why do they look so young?”
Chu Hongzhong said, “They are all cultivators. Perhaps they have secrets that can protect their youth.”
“Cultivators?” Chu Lin sneered. “This is considered swindling, right? How can there be real cultivators in this world?”
Chu Yan glanced at him indifferently and said to Chu Hongzhong and Old Master Chu, “Father, Grandpa, I’ll go over.”
Old Master nodded. “Go ahead.”
Chu Yan nodded slightly and strode towards Lu Sheng and the rest.
“Brother Yan, happy birthday!”
He was halfway there when Shangguan Linger suddenly appeared and gave him a gift box.
Chu Yan glanced at the gift box and did not receive it. Instead, he thanked her lightly and left.
Shangguan Linger’s expression changed slightly and she froze on the spot.
When the young misses and young masters who were watching from afar saw this scene, they revealed mocking expressions.
There were only two annoying people at this banquet.
One was the high and mighty Shen Yiyi, and the other was Shangguan Linger.
Both of them felt that they were high and mighty just because their parents were on good terms with Chu Hongzhong. They were condescending.
“Why are you here?”
Lu Sheng felt someone approaching. When she turned back and saw that it was Chu Yan, she immediately smiled.
“Yes, I just finished speaking to a few uncles.”
Chu Yan replied gently and looked at Lu Zhou and the rest. “I was a bit busy tonight. If I didn’t take good care of you, please forgive me!”
Lu Zhou smiled. “We’re not children. We can take care of ourselves.”
Elder Sen smiled and said, “I didn’t expect the banquet of a rich family in this world to be so lively!”
In just a short month, Elder Sen and Bailian had gradually gotten used to life here.
They also did not show any surprise to new things.
Chu Yan smiled at Elder Sen and suddenly remembered the scene where Shangguan Linger gave him a gift.
He raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Sheng with a smile, “Where’s my gift?”
“Huh?” Lu Sheng was stunned. Then, she said regretfully, “I did prepare it, but I left in a hurry. I think I left it at home.”
She glanced at the time and smiled. “How about this? After the banquet ends tonight, come back with me to get it. How’s that?”
Chu Yan did not think too much about it and nodded slightly. “Okay.”
Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian looked at each other and gave Lu Sheng an admiring look.
Chu Yan said to Lu Zhou and the rest, “Uncles, you guys chat first. I’ll bring Lu Sheng upstairs and talk to our friends first.”
The few of them nodded. Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Go ahead. Young people should have more fun.”
When the two of them went upstairs, there were already a few banquet tables.
The people sitting in the seats were all young people from the capital’s aristocratic families.
Seeing Chu Yan go upstairs, everyone stood up and raised their cups to congratulate him.
Out of courtesy, Chu Yan drank a cup with everyone.
When the two of them sat at Jun Hao and the rest’s table, they started singing happy birthday to Chu Yan. The scene was very lively.
The birthday banquet lasted until eleven thirty before the guests gradually dispersed.
Lu Sheng used the excuse of bringing Chu Yan home to get the gift and brought him back to the Lu family.
At this moment, Lu Zhou, Shangguan Dian, Elder Sen, and Bailian had already returned to the Lu family.
