Chapter 1449 1444: Guo Yuanyuan's Birthday Banquet

Right now, Su Chen still has a pile of things to do, and he just remembered that he has to attend Guo Yuanyuan's birthday party tomorrow.Guo Yuanyuan, who is Zhang Shu's daughter.

Previously, in Jiangdu, she was nicknamed 'Empress Guo' and was considered one of the most untouchable people.

However, now the sight of this 'Empress Guo' hasn't been seen in Jiangdu for quite a while.

...

"Mom, I missed you so much." The fashionably dressed Guo Yuanyuan came running from the plane straight into Zhang Shu's arms.

Today Zhang Shu could come to the airport to pick up Guo Yuanyuan; it had been more than half a year since the mother and daughter last met.

"How have you been out there?" Zhang Shu affectionately rubbed Guo Yuanyuan's head as she spoke.

"Hmph, not good at all. You hadn't cared about me for such a long time, nor did you think of visiting me." Guo Yuanyuan pouted.

"You know about your mom's work. I can't just leave whenever, didn't I ask Sister Xiao to go check on you?"

"But that was only twice." Guo Yuanyuan pouted.

"Yes, yes, it's your mom's fault." Zhang Shu said affectionately.

"So do you have any compensation for me?" Guo Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes at Zhang Shu and asked.

"It's your birthday today, and Mom has a surprise for you."

"What kind of surprise?"

"You'll find out tonight." Zhang Shu teased Guo Yuanyuan with a little mystery.

For many who are aware, Guo Yuanyuan's birthday counts as a big event.

Especially among the circles of the second-generation rich that Guo Yuanyuan used to hang out with.

Almost all of the wealthy second-generation acquaintances sent her messages asking if she had returned to Jiangdu and where she planned to hold her birthday party.

Some even booked a venue to host her birthday party.

However, without exception, all were declined by Guo Yuanyuan. This year, she wanted to have a family dinner for her birthday.

And she wasn't planning to invite her usual party friends.

After all, she had to consider her mother's status and influence.

Being out for most of the year, Guo Yuanyuan had changed, behaving less recklessly and becoming more sensible.

The influence of family on a person is crucial. Although Zhang Shu and Guo Hong hadn't publicly divorced, their marriage was essentially dead in name.

No, in fact, they had already legally ended their marriage but hadn't announced it publicly yet.

In such an environment, the impact on a still-childhood Guo Yuanyuan was fatal.

Although Zhang Shu is a strong career woman, with her career rising rapidly, she unmistakably felt she owed her daughter something.

And not just a little.

That's why, with Guo Yuanyuan coming back, she invited Su Chen to her birthday party, as a surprise for Guo Yuanyuan.

Perhaps Su Chen wasn't too aware, but as a mother, Zhang Shu could see from various signs that Guo Yuanyuan probably had a crush on Su Chen.

As night fell, Zhang Shu rarely took the time to personally cook a lavish dinner for Guo Yuanyuan; of course, it's hard to say for whom exactly the dishes were prepared.

At least Guo Yuanyuan was touched by Zhang Shu.

"Mom, that's enough, the two of us can't eat that much." While the relationship between Guo Yuanyuan and Zhang Shu wasn't exactly tense before, it certainly wasn't very close.

Just like her relationship with Guo Hong.

Guo Hong had his own company, made money, and was never stingy with his only daughter's expenses.

So Guo Yuanyuan lived comfortably, and if she lacked money, she wouldn't be out playing with those spoiled kids all day long, would she?

"Okay, okay, I'll be there once I'm done with this dish." Zhang Shu replied loudly from the kitchen.

"Ding dong..."

The crisp sound of the doorbell kept ringing.

"Coming, coming." Guo Yuanyuan frowned slightly, slipped on a pair of slippers, and walked towards the door.

Zhang Shu's residence was in a high-end community, with controlled access, and generally, visitors would need to book in advance, otherwise the gate security would turn them away.

Could the person knocking at the door be a neighbor?

Guo Yuanyuan slowly opened the door, and under the porch light, she saw the outline of the person at the door.

He was holding a big box and dressed as a clown.

"Who are you?" Guo Yuanyuan looked at the clown in front of her with caution and didn't let him in.

"I'm here to celebrate your birthday." The voice from behind the mask said.

"Mom, is this clown at the door someone you called over?" Guo Yuanyuan shouted into the house.

"What?" Zhang Shu's voice came from inside, the pan in the kitchen was still on the stove, and she didn't catch what Guo Yuanyuan said.

"I'm asking if this clown at the door is someone you invited?" Guo Yuanyuan continued.

"What clown?"

Guo Yuanyuan: "..."

"Wait here." Guo Yuanyuan slammed the door shut.

The clown outside was, in fact, Su Chen in disguise, with a date he could not refuse, and besides, wasn't he sort of celebrating his… half-daughter's birthday?

Although Su Chen had helped Guo Yuanyuan before, he didn't leave a profound impression of her.

Instead, due to his sister-in-law Lin Shuang'er's affairs, he saw another side of Guo Yuanyuan, one of Jiangdu's top three untouchables, 'Empress Guo'.

But he never imagined that Guo Yuanyuan would be so fierce, directly declaring Su Chen as her man in front of her friends.

Such a fierce girl, Su Chen felt he really couldn't handle it.

Later on, he established a certain relationship with Zhang Shu, so naturally, Guo Yuanyuan disappeared from his sight.

While Su Chen was lost in thought, the door opened again.

Guo Yuanyuan peeked her little head out from inside, curious as she looked at Su Chen: "Are you the surprise my mom mentioned? What can you do? Magic, sword swallowing? Break rocks on your chest? Or fire breathing?"

Guo Yuanyuan fired a barrage of questions at Su Chen.

Su Chen was taken aback but replied honestly, "I can do all that."

"Oh? You can do all that?" Guo Yuanyuan's eyes darted around, and she stepped aside: "Then come in, but if you don't satisfy me tonight, don't think about leaving."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Su Chen said confidently.

Whether it was sword swallowing or chest breaking rocks, for Su Chen, these were trivial matters.

As for fire breathing, that might be pushing it a bit far, but Su Chen could manage it too.

With the cultivation of a Holy Realm Martial Artist, performing sleight-of-hand magic would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Su Chen followed her inside, and the table was already filled with an array of dishes that looked quite appealing. Su Chen never expected that Zhang Shu, so busy with work, could also cook so well.

"Place your things here." As Su Chen remained fixated on the dishes, Guo Yuanyuan's voice came over.

"Oh, okay."

Su Chen excitedly ran over with the box.

The living room was large, but… it seemed like Guo Yuanyuan hadn't intended for Su Chen to join them at the table?
