She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 439 Birthday Party

The next day, Chi Ying came to the bridal chamber from the old house.

"Xiaoyu, you and Junyan have always been reluctant to have a wedding, but now Grandma thinks it's time to have one for you. What do you think?"

Nan Yu sat next to Chi Ying, a hint of hesitation on her face.

"Grandma, about the wedding, I..."

Chi Ying grabbed Nan Yu's hand. "Xiao Yu, next month is your birthday. I mean, I want to hold the wedding on your birthday, to make it even more joyous."

Hearing this, Huo Junyan turned to look at Nan Yu and said, "There's still a month until your birthday, so there's no rush. You can think about it some more."

Seeing Huo Junyan defending Nan Yu, Chi Ying couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, no rush, let's think about it some more."

After saying that, she patted Nan Yu's hand, her eyes full of affection.

Nan Yu nodded gently, "Grandma, we can probably finalize the wedding arrangements with my family later."

Her parents had previously said that they would throw her a big birthday party on her birthday to make up for the more than 20 years they had missed celebrating her birthday.

Actually, she didn't care, since it was all in the past.

But seeing how much her parents cared, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she nodded.

Now Grandma wants to hold the wedding on her birthday, but I'm afraid my parents might not agree.

Chi Ying understood and realized that the key to this matter lay with the Nan family.

She patted Nan Yu's hand and said, "Xiao Yu, you don't need to worry about this. In a few days, Grandma will talk to your parents."

"We'll see if there's a good way to combine your birthday party and wedding into one big celebration."

Seeing this, Nan Yu nodded, "Okay, Grandma, then you can talk to my parents. I'm fine with whatever the outcome is."

After saying that, she turned around and smiled at Huo Junyan.

Huo Junyan moved closer to her, interlocked his fingers with hers, and said nothing more.

Chi Ying acted quickly, and went to the Nan family's ancestral home that very evening.

Duan Zhu's health has recovered quickly and she is no longer as weak as before.

Upon hearing that Chi Ying had arrived, she took the initiative to greet her.

"Madam Huo, what brings you here?"

When Chi Ying saw Duan Zhu, she realized that Nan Yu looked exactly like her.

"Duan Zhu, I'm here today because of Xiao Yu."

Duan Zhu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Madam Huo, didn't Xiao Yu already say she wouldn't get a divorce? Why are you here? Is there something else?"

Chi Ying looked at Duan Zhu in front of her and said with a smile, "I'm not here for the divorce, I'm here for their wedding."

Duan Zhu looked at her, "A wedding?"

Chi Ying explained, "Xiao Yu and Jun Yan got their marriage certificate back then, but they didn't have a wedding ceremony. Now that their relationship is getting closer, I, as their grandmother, want to give Xiao Yu a wedding ceremony."

Duan Zhu picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, and said with a dignified and elegant demeanor, "Madam, the wedding must be held. Xiaoyu is my daughter, and I would never allow her to suffer any injustice."

Chi Ying smiled kindly, "Yes, that's why I'm here today to discuss the wedding date with you."

Duan Zhu put down her teacup and looked at Chi Ying with a puzzled expression.

What date would you like to pick?

Chi Ying turned around and gave Xu Qi a look.

Xu Qi immediately stepped forward with a friendly smile.

“Madam Nan, next month is the young mistress’s birthday, which is a rare and auspicious day. We would like to hold the wedding there.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhu frowned. "It's not appropriate to hold the wedding on that day."

She looked up at Chi Ying, her eyes full of displeasure.

“We’ve been looking for Xiaoyu for over 20 years, and this year we finally found her and can bring her home.”

"As a result, she married into your Huo family. She didn't want a divorce, and I could accept that. But her birthday was the day we wanted to tell everyone that she had returned to our side."

"It's not about telling others that our daughter, whom we finally found, got married before even coming back to us."

Duan Zhu started to get a little emotional as she spoke.

She looked at Chi Ying and said, "Madam Huo, let's reschedule the wedding. Xiao Yu's birthday banquet will definitely not be her wedding banquet."

After saying that, she stood up and said to the housekeeper, "I'm tired. Please take Madam Huo home."

The Nan family's butler immediately came to Chi Ying's side.

"Madam Huo, please."

Chi Ying, who had originally wanted to say something, suddenly realized how wrong she was to propose this plan as she watched Duan Zhu leave.

She sighed, gripped her cane tightly, and walked out of the Nan family ancestral home.

As soon as they went outside, Xu Qi, who was supporting Chi Ying, asked, "Madam, what should we do now?"

Chi Ying glanced back at Nan Shi, then turned to Xu Qi and said, "Let's choose a date after Xiao Yu's birthday, the closest one to the end of the birthday banquet."

Xu Qi immediately understood. "Yes, Madam."

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was Nan Yu's birthday.

Since it was a birthday celebration for Nan Yu, they brought her back from the Huo family home to live in their ancestral house.

She got up early in the morning and was dragged around to get her hair and makeup done.

After everything was finished, Duan Zhu appeared from the direction of the door and entered the room.

She looked at the beautiful Nan Yu in front of her, then turned and took the jewelry she had prepared for Nan Yu from the servant's hand.

"Xiaoyu, I owe you so much. I don't know what would be the best gift for you. This is a coming-of-age gift that I prepared for you before you were even born."

"I never imagined that it would take 23 years, until your 23rd birthday, to finally deliver it to you."

Nan Yu's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the imperial green jewelry in her hand.

"mom……"

Duan Zhu took off the imperial green jade necklace and put it on Nan Yu's snow-white neck.

"Xiaoyu, Mom will put it on you herself."

Nan Yu saw Duan Zhu's expression through the mirror, but did not stop her from taking the jade necklace.

After putting it on, Duan Zhu looked at the beautiful Nan Yu in the mirror, her eyes glistening with tears, and said to Nan Yu, "My daughter is so beautiful."

Nan Yu curled her lips into a charming smile.

Duan Zhu looked at her again, smiled, and then stood up. "Xiao Yu, the guests downstairs are waiting for you. Let's go down together."

Nan Yu slowly stood up, wearing a long, emerald-green silk dress, looking as beautiful as an angel fallen to earth.

She took Duan Zhu's arm and softly replied, "Okay."

The mother and daughter went downstairs together, where there were many guests.

The moment they appeared, everyone's eyes were on them.

"This must be the real daughter of the Nan family. She looks just like Madam Nan when she was young."

"At the last banquet, it was obvious that Nan Qingqing was a fake. Unlike this one, she was accompanied by Madam Nan herself, which shows how much she dotes on her."

"I heard that Miss Nan has already registered her marriage, and her wedding will be in three days."

"Really? Who is her fiancé?"

"You don't know who her boyfriend is? Her boyfriend is Huo Junyan, the head of the Huo Group!"

Huo Junyan stepped out from the crowd, tall and elegant, his sharp suit highlighting his physique perfectly.

He stood at the top of the stairs, and the instant Nan Yu came down, he reached out and took her slender, white hand. Nan Yu smiled at him, squeezed his hand, and stood beside him, a perfect couple.

Everyone who witnessed this gasped in amazement.

"When did the head of the Huo family actually stand up?"

"I heard that it was Miss Nan who cured the Huo family head's legs a month ago. Miss Nan is the legendary ghost doctor. When she was treating the Huo family head, the two gradually fell in love with each other."

"So these two got married?"

"Yes, the Nan family and the Huo family are the top two of the four major families in City A. Their marriage can be considered a powerful alliance."

"They are a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful."

"Speaking of which, what about Nan Qingqing, who impersonated the Nan family's daughter before?"

"Nan Qingqing? I heard her father, Nan Luzhi, died and her mother, Sheng Ruomei, went mad. She went home to inherit the Nan family's company, but the company owed too much money and had a huge funding gap. She ran away with the last bit of money."

"During her escape, it seems she was run over and killed by an enemy of the Nan family."

"The Nan family has brought this upon themselves and is now reaping the consequences of their own actions."

……

Upon hearing their words, a hint of unease flashed across Nan Yu's eyes.

If Nan Luzhi hadn't gone to that hospital to commit murder and arson for money, causing both her and Nan Qingqing to be lost...

Perhaps the Nan family wouldn't have ended up like this.

Huo Junyan sensed Nan Yu's displeasure, gently pulled her waist into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?"

Nan Yu slowly raised her head, meeting his deep, affectionate eyes, and saw his worry.

She smiled and shook her head.

"fine."

It's all in the past; everything from before is over.

At this moment, she has begun a new life.

Huo Junyan held Nan Yu's hand tightly and gently kissed her fingertips.

"Miss Nan, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"

Nan Yu looked at the serious-looking Huo Junyan, smiled slightly, and placed her hand in Huo Junyan's palm.

"Okay~"

Huo Junyan held her hand tightly with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her slender waist.

Music began to play all around.

He wrapped his arms around Nan Yu's waist and danced with her on the dance floor, becoming the focus of the entire event.

Everyone applauded, looking at this perfect couple.

Duan Zhu leaned against Nan Bofu's chest, looking at Nan Yu in the center, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes.

"Bofu, am I dreaming?"

Nan Bofu wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and smiled at her, saying, "Azhu, this isn't a dream, it's all real."

"Xiaoyu has returned to our side and found her lover."

Duan Zhu wiped away her tears, "Don't forget the birthday present you're preparing for Xiao Yu later."

Nan Bofu quickly replied, "Everything is ready. We can start at eight o'clock."

Nan Zhou, watching the two dancing downstairs, showed a hint of jealousy on his face.

He turned to look at Nan Zhuoyuan, "Big brother, what's so good about that Huo Junyan? Why does Xiaoyu like him?"

Hearing this, Nan Zhuoyuan, who was holding his daughter, turned to look at Nan Zhou, then at Nan Yu, whose face was full of happiness. He smiled and said, "Huo Junyan is great. He's rich, handsome, and capable. He's in charge of the entire Huo Group at such a young age. What's wrong with him?"

"I think it's quite normal for Xiaoyu to like him."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhou's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Nan Zhuoyuan. "Big brother, why are you starting to speak up for Huo Junyan?"

Nan Zhuoyuan glanced at him and said, "Watch your words. I have never objected to Xiaoyu and Huo Junyan being together. I am very satisfied with this brother-in-law."

Nan Zhuoyuan's daughter in his arms also said in a childish voice, "Fourth Uncle, Aunt and Uncle are a perfect match. Don't be jealous anymore. If you have time to be jealous, why don't you go find me a fourth aunt?"

Nanzhou: "..."

Nan Zhuoyuan patted him on the shoulder, "I think my daughter is right. Think about it and find a wife soon."

Nan Zhou snorted angrily, "It's none of your business."

He then glanced at the time. "It's eight o'clock. Time to open the presents."

As soon as he finished speaking, fireworks lit up the outside of the Nan family's ancestral home.

Fireworks burst forth with four words—

happy Birthday.

Nan Yu stopped dancing, turned her head and saw this scene.

Nan Bofu and Duan Zhu came downstairs and came to Nan Yu's side.

"Xiaoyu, happy birthday."

Nan Zhou appeared pushing a birthday cake, pushing Huo Junyan out of the spot next to Nan Yu.

"Happy birthday, Xiaoyu!"

Nan Zhuoyuan led Li Xue by the hand and walked over to Nan Yu.

"Xiaoyu, your parents, your other brothers, and I have prepared birthday gifts for you. Take a look and see if you like them."

After saying that, he stepped aside, revealing a corner piled high with gifts behind him.

Duan Zhu stood beside Nan Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, we, as your family, missed all of your birthdays before you turned twenty-three. Now, on your twenty-third birthday, we want to make up for all the birthday gifts we missed."

“These gifts are all from when you were one to twenty-three years old, from when you were one to when you were twenty-three.”

Nan Bofu also stepped forward and said to Nan Yu, "Xiao Yu, go and see if you like it."

The gifts were all beautifully wrapped, clearly showing that a lot of thought and effort had been put into them.

Nan Yu, who had never felt so pampered, turned around and hugged Duan Zhu in front of her.

"Mom, thank you."

His voice was slightly choked up.

Duan Zhu's eyes also reddened, "My precious daughter."

Seeing this scene, even Nan Bofu, who never gets emotional, couldn't help but tear up.

Then he held his wife and daughter in his arms.

Seeing this scene, the others also felt sad, as if they could feel the hardships they had endured in searching for Nan Yu all these years.

After Nan Yu got out of Duan Zhu's arms, she looked at her eldest brother and fourth brother.

"Big brother, fourth brother, thank you for preparing such a big surprise for me."

Nan Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Nan Zhou also said shyly, "Xiao Yu, it's just a small gift, no need to thank me specially."

Nan Bofu pressed down on Nan Yu's shoulder, "Xiao Yu, those are the gifts they prepared. Now it's time to see the twenty-third birthday gift that your father and mother prepared for you."

The next second, he made a loud announcement in front of everyone.

"The Nan Group has always been my life's work, and I have never designated a successor. Today, in front of everyone, I have something to announce."

"From today onwards, my daughter Nan Yu is the next heir to the Nan Group. Within three years, I will ensure that Xiao Yu completely inherits the Nan Group!"
