Zhao Zhu's aunt and Zhao Zhu's mother, although they are sisters, have completely different personalities. Zhao Zhu's mother, Wu Xiuyi, is a strong career woman, while Zhao Zhu's aunt, Wu Xiuyin, has a more feminine personality, who usually likes to do beauty treatments, travel, or go to Macau or even play cards on the high seas.

  Of course, Wu Xiuzhen was able to enjoy life so leisurely and comfortably also because her husband and his family had a significant position in the political arena. Although it cannot be compared with those red families in the central government, at least in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region, Wu Xiuzhen's husband's family had an extremely large influence in the official circles. Her husband was the leader of this generation of the family who was being heavily promoted. Now he is serving as the vice mayor of SZ city and will soon rise to prominence under the accumulation of family resources. With nothing much to do for herself, after giving birth to a daughter for her husband, Wu Xiuzhen quit her original job and started her life as a wealthy lady.

  What made Wu Xiuzhen a bit uncomfortable was that she had originally thought that after becoming a phoenix, she would be able to bring her own sister along and satisfy her vanity by performing a "deep sisterly love". However, who knew that her sister's young doctor husband from the medical academy would become more and more successful every year, with his abilities growing greater each year. In just a few years, he had gone from being a medical leader in SZ to providing medical services to central leaders in Beijing.

  To know that within the red walls, even a tea-serving and water-pouring person is not a small role, let alone doctors who treat illnesses for those central big shots. This doctor-patient relationship, although it's been hyped up to be very tense in society, but under normal circumstances, the doctor-patient relationship is actually very close-knit. Patients always have good feelings towards their own doctors, this is an "iron relationship" that can't be bought with a thousand pieces of gold. When necessary, making a plea all the way to the top is not impossible!

  Her brother-in-law is no worse than her own husband, and the self-made brother-in-law may be more capable than the husband who relies on family help. Her sister, Wu Xiuzhen, has no temper at all, and she also started from scratch to operate a huge listed medical and health care company, with wealth and influence that cannot be underestimated.

  So, even if Wu Xiūqín is a bit self-interested, she can't find any fault with her own daughter and sister's son getting married, and her husband is also strongly promoting this marriage, or rather, alliance, because he thinks it will bring him great benefits in terms of connections. As for the issue of cousins marrying being incestuous, that's not a problem at all, because Wu Xiūyǎ and Wu Xiūqín aren't biological sisters to begin with - they were both adopted by a scholarly family as orphans when they were young, so there is no blood relation between Zhao Zhù and his cousin.

  For her own birthday party, Wu Xiuzhen still attaches great importance to it. She specially invited several groups of famous chefs from SH city's restaurants to prepare various dishes and drinks in her own courtyard. She also invited many stars and magicians, and some people deliberately tried to please her, thinking that everything she thought of and didn't think of was arranged for her.

  In the evening, guests who received invitations began to arrive one after another. One invitation allowed two friends to enter the party, so Zhao Zhu brought Xiong Zhiqi with him. His invitation was separate from his parents', and his mother had arrived in the afternoon to accompany his younger sister in the inner hall. His father still hadn't found time to come, but he had instructed his mother to settle the matter between Zhao Zhu and his cousin Xia Yuhuan tonight. The two children were supposed to get married according to the agreement made by both families a long time ago, but now they were getting older and it was not suitable to delay any further.

  "Zhao Ge, what is this? It's really delicious and the flavor is great. Is it roasted intestine? I've never had such fresh roasted intestine before." Xiong Zhiqi said with a plate in hand, taking some food and eating while speaking, he was truly coming with a foodie's heart.

  Zhao Zhu looked at Xiong Zhiqi and found that the fork in Xiong Zhiqi's hand was pierced with something similar to a roasted sausage, but the color was different from ordinary roasted sausage. Then Zhao Zhu spoke directly:

  "This is not sausage, it's a sheep's bladder."

  "Hmph......" Xiong Zhiqi's entire face turned green, and for a moment he couldn't accept it at all.

  Zhao Zhu didn't plan to go in and greet his aunt directly, anyway, with his mother accompanying her. Zhao Zhu was also too lazy to go chat with those uncles and aunts early on, their way of communication was too hypocritical, and as a psychiatrist, he was extremely sensitive to this aspect, so sometimes even going through the motions made him feel uncomfortable.

  After rinsing his mouth with three consecutive cups of red wine, Xiong Zhiqi finally felt a bit more relaxed and looked around at some familiar stars on TV, exclaiming in surprise:

  "Wow, Zhao Ge, so many celebrities."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Look, I was listening to her song just this morning, didn't expect to see her now."

  "Go get his signature."

  "Really... can I really stay here? After all, this is her private time..."

  "What private time, she was called here to walk ~ hole, actually is to invite the service staff to entertain guests here, you go, she won't refuse to chat with you and give an autograph."

  "Okay, I'll go then."

  Xiong Zhiqi ran off to chat up the female singer, while Zhao Zhu picked up a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and sat down in a corner chair. His mind was still turning over some things that he needed to think through carefully.

  At this time, a figure sat opposite Zhao Zhuo. The man was wearing a burgundy suit, from his hair to his shoes, everything was neat and tidy, so clean that it seemed a bit excessive. His skin was relatively fair, and his fingers were long, making him look like a male star who had just finished filming a Korean drama and walked out of the studio.

  "Hey, friend, why are you sitting here alone, how boring." The other person greeted Zhao Zhu first, with a condescending attitude as if they were the host, but Zhao Zhu understood that his aunt's family was actually just his cousin and her child. As for whether his uncle had any illegitimate children outside, Zhao Zhu wasn't sure, but even if he did, it was unlikely that they would have the nerve to show up at his aunt's birthday party and act like the host.

  Zhao Zhu continued drinking his orange juice, ignoring him, he wasn't interested in flirting with a man here.

  "Today is my girlfriend's mother's birthday, I think I have an obligation to take good care of every guest here, especially the young guests. We've got a group of people there ready to play cards, friend, why don't we get together and play a few rounds?"

  Zhao Zhu's aunt has a gambling habit, so there is also a professional card table at home, which happens to be taken out for guests to play with. The croupier is also a professional croupier, everything is very professional, it's like moving a small Macau here.

  "No, I'm not interested." Zhao Zhu directly refused. The man in front of him might be his fiancée's boyfriend, but Zhao Zhu wasn't very interested and didn't have any reason to be jealous. After all, he had a girlfriend in SZ too, and he didn't want to play with too many women. He hadn't been faithful himself, so he had no right to ask his cousin Xia Yuhuan to remain chaste and wait for him.

  "Come on, friend, give me some face, okay? Yuhan is also there, let's go and say hello together. Young people always have something to talk about when they get together."

  The man in Western suit stretched out his hand as if to pick up the cup Zhao Zhu had just put on the table, and then asked Zhao Zhu to leave here and go over there to play cards with them.

  But no matter how the other party took away his cup, Zhao Zhu had been sitting steadily in his original position for a long time, without any intention of moving.

  The man in Western clothes slowly darkened his face and said in a low voice:

  "Friend, you're being like this, it seems a bit disrespectful." The words already carried a hint of anger.

  Zhao Zhu heard this and smiled, got up, walked to the Western-style man's side, and took back his own cup with half a glass of orange juice from his hand.

  This move in the eyes of the suit man is a sign of weakness and intends to follow him, and a hint of ridicule also appeared in the eyes of the suit man, thinking that Zhao Zhu still has some color inside.

  But just at the next moment, the man in the suit was stunned:

  Zhao Zhu took the cup and directly poured half a cup of orange juice onto his face, then gently put the cup back on the table, pulled out a wet wipe from the side to wipe his hands, and smiled:

  "Face? You're just a little rascal who crawled out from somewhere, why should I give you face?"
