The next day was Zhang Qingning's birthday.
Not far from the Xu Family's old residence, there was a well-regarded four-star hotel called Fuman Road.
To celebrate his mother's birthday, Xu Fan had Zhou Xian book a large private room, with fine wines and dishes all prepared. He even specially ordered a nine-tiered cake, symbolizing longevity and enduring happiness.
This gesture also served to inform the various powers and families in Yanjing that he, Xu Fan, had returned to Yanjing in a high-profile manner.
By twelve o'clock, the large private room at Fuman Road was already filled with many people, all wearing smiles on their faces, catching up on old times in a relaxed and celebratory atmosphere.
After a special makeover, Zhang Qingning looked graceful and luxurious, exuding the demeanor of a lady of high stature, appearing barely over thirty. She had not been this happy in a long time, with a smile constantly on her face.
