Female-dominated society: After becoming fake young ladies, the older sisters stopped pretending.

The music had stopped at some point, and even the sound of the wind blowing out of that slap could be heard clearly.

"Slap! Slap!" Two crisp sounds made everyone present cover their mouths and stare at the scene in disbelief.

Shen Tian was completely stunned by the slap, his little face spinning twice under Shen Qinghan's palm.

Almost simultaneously, both sides of his face turned red, and then swelled up rapidly at a visible speed.

In the end, it swelled up to look like two steamed buns!

Who are you?

He was suddenly slapped in the face by a stranger, and he was already angry.

Shen Tian stood up angrily, pointed at Shen Qinghan, and shouted:

"Security! Throw her out!"

The air froze for a second.

"Pfft!" A burst of suppressed laughter then erupted like a thunderclap in the banquet hall.

"I'm sorry, I don't usually smile."

An apology came from the crowd, but it was clearly too late.

This burst of laughter acted as a fuse, igniting everyone's sense of humor.

"No way, he claims to be a real young master, but he doesn't even recognize his own second sister."

"It seems Miss Qinghan still likes Young Master Yan; those two slaps were quite satisfying."

"......."

Hearing the laughter and chatter around him, Shen Tian's face burned as if on fire.

Fortunately, his face was so red and swollen from the beating that it was impossible to tell the difference.

Otherwise, the contrast would be huge, and the clues would be obvious at a glance.

"Second...Second Sister?" Shen Tian called out softly, covering his face and looking at her with a puzzled expression.

He doesn't understand.

Why did this cheap second sister suddenly slap him twice?!

They hit so hard! My face is burning with swelling!

"Don't call me 'sister'."

Shen Qinghan coldly interrupted him.

"Last time he was jealous of Yan'er and hired someone to harm him, this time he even hired Wang Yanran to deliberately provoke him."

"You still consider yourself a member of the Shen family? You still treat me like your older sister?"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Shen Tian's eyes.

He didn't care whether what Shen Qinghan said was true or not; he only knew that Shen Qinghan was now on Shen Yan's side.

As for Xiang Shenyan, he had already sentenced him to death, and he no longer cared about right or wrong!

"Mud elbow!"

He shoved Shen Qinghan hard and ran towards Shen Zhixia crying.

"I'm going to tell Mom that you're all bullying me!"

"Okay, Mom, I understand."

Shen Zhixia finished her call with Shen Wei and got up to walk over.

Seeing Shen Tian's tearful appearance, Shen Zhixia ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"Let's go, Mom is waiting for you at home."

Shen Zhixia handed over her phone, then beckoned two bodyguards and signaled them to take Shen Tian away.

Shen Yan's birthday party has been delayed for a long time, and her patience has almost worn off.

So they didn't give Shen Tian a chance to say anything and handed him over to the bodyguards directly.

Really.

Her aversion to stupidity is about to flare up.

Who doesn't know about Wang Yanran's bad reputation at school and her feud with Shen Yan?

That idiot not only mingled with them, but also brought them to Shen Yan's birthday party.

Was this intentional or accidental?

However, she was too lazy to investigate further; Shen Wei would talk to him personally.

"No!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"Why do you always side with Shen Yan when I'm clearly your own brother?"

Two bodyguards each supported Shen Tian on one side as he walked, his short legs flapping in the air.

It looked both pitiful and comical, and some people in the crowd couldn't help but laugh.

This made Shen Tian feel even more insulted, and his shouts grew louder and louder.

"You just wait, when we get back, my stepmother will stand up for me!"

"Just you wait..."

As the banquet hall doors closed, Shen Tian's voice gradually faded into the wind.

"Xiao Yan, ignore him, let's continue."

The annoying guy was finally gone. Shen Zhixia took Shen Yan's hand and subtly pulled him away from Shen Qinghan.

She had seen everything that had just happened.

Shen Qinghan must have learned the truth by now.

Although this girl has a scandal, we still need to take precautions. What if she's faking it?

Shen Qinghan watched helplessly as Shen Zhixia pulled her precious Yan'er away, her fingers secretly clenching.

She'll definitely demand an explanation from Shen Zhixia later!

How dare they keep such a big thing from her? Are they even best friends anymore?!

"Welcome everyone to Xiaoyan's birthday party! I hereby declare today's birthday celebration officially underway!"

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of powerful music came through.

Shen Zhixia handed Shen Yan a bottle of champagne and whispered in his ear:

"Xiao Yan, just lightly touch the side of the glass, just to make a gesture of ceremony."

"Hmm," Shen Yan nodded subtly, raising his glass to greet everyone.

Everyone raised their glasses in return: "Happy birthday, Young Master Yan! May you be happy every day!"

"Thanks"

Shen Yan smiled slightly, then took a small sip along the side of the cup.

The birthday party officially began.

A nine-tiered cake was slowly pushed into the banquet hall, adorned with fruits and chocolates that Shen Yan liked.

Shen Zhixia took a candle from the side, stuck it in the cake, lit it, and pushed it in front of Shen Yan.

"Come on, Xiaoyan, you can make a wish now."

"Uh-huh"

Shen Yan closed his eyes, his wish being to be able to sleep until he naturally woke up every day.

Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary wish. Once you've been out in the world for a few years, you'll find it's practically an impossible dream to fulfill.

A few seconds later, Shen Yan slowly opened his eyes and blew out the candles amidst a crowd of people.

Congratulations, Xiao Yan, on growing another year older!

A hint of excitement flashed in Shen Zhixia's eyes.

Growing a year older also means growing up a bit more.

When she gets back, she'll test just how much Shen Yan has grown at twenty-one.

His first time at twenty-one must be with her!

Thank you everyone, thank you.

Shen Yan smiled and thanked everyone, then picked up a cake knife and began to cut the cake.

Whose will the first piece be?

When Shen Yan cut the first piece of cake, Shen Zhixia and the others widened their eyes, eagerly awaiting Shen Yan's choice.

The atmosphere grew increasingly lively, and the cheerful music was inspiring.

In the midst of this excitement, Shen Yan opened his mouth and took a bite of the cake in his hand.

Yes, there are strawberries and grapes, which are his favorite types of food.

His action surprised Shen Zhixia and the others.

No, why aren't you playing by the rules?

After realizing what had happened, Shen Zhixia and the others looked at Shen Yan with doting smiles, noticing the cream on his lips.

What a little foodie!

It doesn't seem wrong for the birthday person to eat the cake first.

"Come on, cut it yourselves. Cut as much as you want. This cake is really good."

Shen Yan took his cake and walked to the side, leaving the scene to everyone else.

He stepped back from the crowd, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Don't think he didn't know; Shen Zhixia and the others' eager gazes had almost melted his heart.

Everyone was ready to eat the first piece of cake.

Fine, he won't give it to anyone, nor will he let any of them cut it first.

In this way, no one will feel disappointed.

hee hee~

He's such a little genius!

After cutting the cake, Shen Qinghan carried her portion slowly toward Shen Zhixia.

He looked directly into her eyes, his tone filled with deep resentment:

"Big sister, aren't you going to explain this?!"
