As the saying goes, don't try to guess a woman's thoughts; guessing and guessing is all in vain!

But an elderly person's thoughts are the same, especially someone like Su Mingzheng, an old fox who has lived his whole life. His mind is probably even harder to guess than a woman's.

Ye Xunhuan couldn't guess, nor did he try to guess any further. After all, he's here. Even if the Su family is dissatisfied, what can they do?

If you anger me, I'll beat you so bad you won't recognize your own mother.

Next, a group of people started to offer birthday congratulations to Su Mingzheng.

According to the Su family's tradition, some of the immediate family members are required to kneel in respect, while others merely bow symbolically to Su Mingzheng, each presenting their prepared birthday gifts!

Mei Hanqing stayed by Su Mingzheng's side from beginning to end, even during the kneeling ceremony.

Although Mei Hanqing felt a bit uncomfortable about this, she had no choice, as Su Mingzheng wouldn't allow her to step down.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but after all the guests had presented their gifts, an old woman suddenly spoke to Jian Yunong: "Yu Nong, congratulations! After so many years, you've finally found Han Qing."

"The child is truly lovely!"

Upon hearing the woman's compliment, Jian Yunong smiled gently: "Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law!"

Zhou Yuetong, with a big smile on her face, said again to Jian Yunong: "And what a fine child Han Qing is! I wonder what good gift she has prepared for father. Why not show everyone..."

If Zhou Yuetong was subtly malicious before, at this moment she was completely exposing her underlying thoughts.

Jian Yunong's face suddenly turned grim.

At this moment, Su Yunyi suddenly stepped forward and said, "Second Aunt, we've all seen the gift, haven't you?"

Startled by Su Yunyi's words, Zhou Yuetong paused.

"Have I?"

"Second Aunt, today is Grandpa's birthday, with cousin Han Qing's return; isn't that the best gift?" Su Yunyi chuckled, asserting: "What gift could be more precious than cousin Han Qing's return?"

Upon hearing Su Yunyi's words, a smile returned to Jian Yunong's typically somber face.

She hadn't wasted her effort in nurturing this young man, who knew to speak up at crucial moments.

Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but look at Su Yunyi with admiration; this guy is definitely talented.

No wonder Jian Yunong values him so much.

With just a few words, he not only resolved the awkwardness for Mei Hanqing and Jian Yunong but also pleased Su Mingzheng. Ye Xunhuan admitted he couldn't match such flattery skills.

Zhou Yuetong's face immediately became somewhat unpleasant, and she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Su Mingzheng slowly spoke: "Yunyi is right. After so many years, this has been my happiest birthday!"

"And my precious granddaughter is the best gift today!"

The other guests offering birthday congratulations cast slightly mocking glances at Zhou Yuetong, wondering if the wife of Su family's second son lacked brains?

At this time, she wanted to make things difficult for Mei Hanqing.

Can't you see that although all the Su family members may be uncomfortable, they're still congratulating Jian Yunong and Su Mingzheng?

Daring to jump out at this moment is practically inviting trouble!

Just then, Ye Xunhuan suddenly spoke up: "Old Master, your granddaughter did prepare a gift for you, intending to give it to you once the guests disperse!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, everyone immediately focused their gaze on him.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan, Su Mingzheng's lips curled into a mysterious smile: "It's you!"

"Old Master, I wish you health as vast as the Eastern Sea and longevity equal to the Southern Mountains!"

"Is your old guy at home about to die?"

Ye Xunhuan's face turned dark at once; here he was congratulating, yet you ask if my family member is dead—is this appropriate?

Ye Xunhuan also knew that Su Mingzheng must be referring to Qin Pojun!

Only Qin Pojun could be his equal.

Ye Xunhuan gave an awkward smile and said, "Thanks to you, he's still alive and well, and he even said that he wouldn't dare leave before you're the one lying in the coffin first!"

Ye Xunhuan's words shocked everyone, leaving them staring at him in horror.

Who is this guy? Daring to speak to Su Mingzheng this way!

Does he not want to live?

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but search their minds for a figure that could match with Ye Xunhuan, also wondering how Su Mingzheng would respond!

Initially, everyone thought Su Mingzheng would be furious, but unexpectedly, Su Mingzheng laughed heartily: "Haha! Tell him that I'm still hale and hearty, living for another decade or so won't be a problem! Meanwhile, as for him, I think three to five years at most, and then I'll go to his grave and brag extensively!"

Ye Xunhuan was suddenly speechless.

Are these old folks proud of outliving their peers?

However, from Su Mingzheng's words, Ye Xunhuan could tell that Su Mingzheng and Qin Pojun's friendship seems quite deep!

Otherwise, they wouldn't joke like this.

Ye Xunhuan smiled wryly and nodded in agreement.

"What gift has my granddaughter prepared? You kid better bring it out..." Su Mingzheng eagerly asked.

Ye Xunhuan didn't dilly-dally and directly took out the already prepared Qilin-patterned lion head.

But this pair of Qilin-patterned lion heads was currently boxed up!

Su Mingzheng accepted the box and promptly opened it, taking out the Qilin-patterned lion head: "Not bad, not bad!"

Instantly, Su Mingzheng wore a broad smile, while directing his gaze at Mei Hanqing: "Han Qing, why did you think of giving Grandpa a set of playing walnuts?"

"You've already aged; I heard from Xunhuan that these can stimulate blood circulation and nerve pathways..."

Su Mingzheng's smile deepened: "You're truly considerate, child!"

This made Zhou Yuetong's face look even worse.

While others focus on giving valuable gifts, Mei Hanqing considers Su Mingzheng's health.

It's obvious who has the upper hand!

At this moment, Zhou Yuetong only felt her face burning with pain.

Yet Jian Yunong didn't plan to let things slide like this, she slowly asked: "Sister-in-law, how is my daughter's gift?"

Jian Yunong's question was like a harsh slap on Zhou Yuetong's face.

It didn't sound loud but was incredibly painful!

While Ye Xunhuan playfully watched Zhou Yuetong.

If you wish to humiliate others, be prepared to be humiliated yourself.

"No wonder they say daughters are like intimate little jackets. Han Qing is truly considerate." Zhou Yuetong had no choice but to brace herself and respond.

While speaking, Zhou Yuetong was filled with resentment and anger, wondering why her own daughter hadn't thought of it!

Moreover, it seems the Mei Hanqing who wandered outside for over twenty years is not easy to deal with. If she remains favored by Su Mingzheng, what would this mean for Su Bingzhi's family's status in the Su family...
