Zhou Yang lifted his chin and smirked. "Who does he think he is? Why should we wait for him?"
"That's right! He's nothing but an ingrate, and he doesn't deserve to join the family gathering!" Yu Hui crossed her legs and raised her eyebrows. "I suggest that the Zhou family disown him as soon as the banquet is over!"
"You… You…" Liu Minglan was angry. She did not expect her suggestion would result in such an uproar.
Zhou Lie held her hand and nodded determinedly, indicating to her not to worry.
He had absolute confidence in Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had promised him that he would deliver a surprise to everyone at the gathering.
Grandmaster Zhou lifted his teacup and said, "If he can't even be bothered to be on time and wish me happy birthday, there's no reason we should wait for him."
He thumped his walking stick and said, "Let's begin."
Zhou Yao stood up and declared loudly, "Let the banquet begin!"
In an instant, all sorts of exquisite delicacies and fine alcohol were served to the tables.
The relatives and guests lifted their glasses and offered their birthday wishes to Grandmaster Zhou.
The old man laughed and returned their greetings, though he was careful not to overdrink.
After several courses, Zhou Yao went to his father and whispered, "Father, are all the people here?"
"Mm, they're almost here," Zhou Wen said with a cunning smile.
The annual gathering was the occasion where every Zhou family descendant flaunted their wealth and connections by presenting gifts. The person who invited the most important guests and gave the most expensive gifts was the subject of admiration.
Of course, it was also the occasion where Zhou Lie and his family were mocked and ridiculed.
"Too bad that Chu Feng b*stard doesn't have the guts to come here!" Zhou Yao said as he flicked some dust off his military uniform. He laughed and said, "It would be very interesting to see him fail to impress anymore and make a fool of himself! That would surely be an unforgettable scene."
Zhou Wen pushed his glasses and said, "Why must you compare yourself to that b*stard? You are a true blue Zhou family descendant, the future family patriarch, and General Yang's godson. Your future is limitless, unlike that b*stard, so you don't have to be so focused on one-upping him. You're only belittling your status."
"Yes, Father. I will remember what you say," Zhou Yao said politely.
Zhou Wen took his teacup and nodded in satisfaction.
Zhou Yao stood up and puffed his chest. Under the bright lights, the medals on his uniform gleamed brilliantly…
He sighed and mumbled to himself, "Too bad my godfather is abroad for a meeting. If he could make it to the gathering today, I would be in the spotlight."
In any case, the guests he invited were much more wealthy and influential than the others. He was very confident about that.
"Zhang Hai, chairman of Haitian Corporation, presents a pair of jade statues!"
A slightly plump middle-aged man in a suit walked up to Grandmaster Zhou and bowed to him. "Happy birthday, Grandmaster Zhou. May you live a long and prosperous life!"
