Chapter 408 Night Banquet (1)
Zhou Jiyao's birthday dinner was arranged in the largest suite in the hotel. Although it was just a small gathering for his family, there was still a big table of people.
The seats on the table were also arranged by Jiang Biyun himself. Zhou Jiyao's right hand was nominal in-law Ouyang Yunsu, and his future in-laws Deng Junji and Deng Laoer.
Zhou Jiyao's left hand is Jiang Biyun and his brother-in-law Fang Zhongxin, Jiang Bijun, Zhu Yunlu and Zhu Xianling, and Deng Laoer sits next to Zhou Yuting, followed by Zhou Lin, Ouyang Dong, Qi Yan, Tang Wan, and Dai Jialang.
Because Jiang Biyun's godson Zhou Xin was broken and sent to the hospital, he had to miss the dinner today. Therefore, Zhu Xianling, who was originally separated from Dai Jialang by Zhou Xin, became Dai Jialang's neighbor.
Dai Jialang understood that it must have been beyond many people's expectations that he appeared on the table today. Except for Zhou Jiyao, Jiang Biyun and Tang Wan, almost everyone gave him a surprised look.
But everyone knows that the people attending the dinner tonight were personally selected by Jiang Biyun and Zhou Jiyao, so no one directly raised questions.
Moreover, it is no secret that Jiang Biyun recognized Dai Jialang as his godson. Since he was his godson, it would not be surprising that he appeared at the table tonight.
However, Zhu Xianling, Zhou Lin and Deng Laoer were obviously dissatisfied with Dai Jialang's appearance at the dinner table, especially Zhu Xianling, who felt that Dai Jialang was a shame and humiliation when he sat next to her. If it were normal, it would have happened long ago.
But today is a happy day for Zhou Jiyao, and no one dares to disturb his interest. Therefore, although he is dissatisfied, he dare not show it. However, from the beginning to the end, she did not look at Dai Jialang directly.
"Hey, mom, where is Axin? Why didn't he come?" Zhou Xin could not help but ask because of Dai Jialang's identity.
Jiang Biyun said perfunctorily: "Axin has something to do temporarily, so I won't come tonight."
Zhou Jiyao, who was talking to Fang Zhongxin in a low voice, heard that Zhou Xin had something to come and was about to come. He frowned and asked Jiang Biyun, "What is the most amazing thing about him?"
Jiang Biyun said angrily: "Oh, don't ask. Since everyone is here, just say something and start."
Zhou Jiyao didn't seem to care whether Zhou Xin came or not, so he cleared his throat and said, "Every year, Biyun holds a birthday dinner for me. To put it bluntly, it's just to find an excuse to gather with relatives and friends.
However, this year, I haven't invited so many people like in previous years. The reason is that a lot of things happened at home a while ago, and everyone has heard of them, and I'm not in the mood to do a big fuss.
To be honest, if Biyun hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have wanted to celebrate this birthday this year. However, my family still had to gather together. Everyone has been busy in the past two years, so it's rare to get together once. There are no outsiders here today, so everyone can enjoy it."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, and everyone present picked up the wine glass. Deng Junji smiled and said, "Old Zhou, then we wish you good luck and a smooth career."
Zhou Jiyao killed the glass of wine and said to Ouyang Yunsu: "It's a pity that Old Tang did not come today, otherwise it would be considered a family reunion."
Ouyang Yunsu glanced at Zhou Jiyao and said, "If compared with previous years, our table is not just Lao Tang."
Zhou Jiyao naturally understood what Ouyang Yunsu meant, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Yes, this birthday is over, but there are fewer and fewer people every year.
I remember the most lively time was four years ago, but since the kidnapping of Xiaohu, it has been getting worse every year. First, there was one missing Jianwei, and now there is one missing Yubing.
To be honest, although Yubing is not the biological daughter of Biyun and I, after all, I have lived together for more than 30 years, so how can I not have any feelings?
I originally wanted Yubing to attend, but she had forgotten all the past. Even if you were sitting there, you couldn't recognize it. It would be embarrassing to come,"
Deng Junji interrupted: "Old Zhou, are you sure that Yubing's incident is clear? Was it because he hugged the wrong person back then, or was it a human-made accident?"
Zhou Jiyao pondered for a moment and said, "After all, more than 30 years have passed, and the doctors at Erdaohe Hospital have not known how many times they have changed. It is not easy to find out this matter in a short time."
Deng Junji said: "At least we have to find a way to find your biological child with Biyun."
Zhou Jiyao glanced at Dai Jialang, nodded and said, "Of course, even if you spend all your money, you must find our own children. Today I can reveal some news to you in advance.
Although there is no clue as to what happened when Biyun gave birth to a child, Biyun’s child and I have already had a clue and are still under verification.”
Everyone sitting there, including Dai Jialang, couldn't help but feel surprised. Fang Zhongxin had not spoken out at first, and said with a look of surprise: "So you have found your and Biyun's children?"
Deng Junji couldn't help but ask, "Boy or girl?"
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "You guys put away your curiosity first. It's too early to say that you have found the child. It's just that there is a clue. I'll keep this kind of thing in a closed way before the final confirmation. Isn't it a joke if I make a mistake?"
Deng Junji said: "Yes, the Zhou family has a big family and a big business, so it is hard to say that no one will impersonate them. However, with DNA testing technology now, it is no longer an era of blood tests, and it is not easy to impersonate them."
Ouyang Yunsu said angrily: "Old Deng, it's not that it's not easy. There are basically no loopholes to exploit. As long as the DNA test matches, it's scientific basis. Even if Jiyao doesn't recognize it, it won't work."
Jiang Biyun secretly glanced at Dai Jialang and said angrily: "Oh, what are you talking about? How can parents not recognize their children?"
Ouyang Yunsu said meaningfully: "As the saying goes, whoever raises a person likes who, after all, you have been separated from this child for more than 30 years. I'm afraid he is different from what you imagined."
Jiang Biyun said, "Yunsu, I understand what you mean. Not to mention that this child is as different as we imagined, so what if he becomes a beggar? Will he still dislike him? Besides, this is not his fault. To be honest, we are sorry for him." After saying that, his eyes were already a little wet.
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "Stop saying these sad words. No matter what, today is a happy day. I'll give you a drink."
Dai Jialang knew that there was basically no room for him to speak in such occasions, so when others held the cup, he followed him to hold the cup. When others were talking, he lowered his eyes and listened while secretly sniffing the faint fragrance floating from Zhu Xianling's body beside him.
