Chapter 423 - The Best Birthday Present (1/2)

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively. The guests were wearing clothes in bright, cheer color as they entered the hall.

At a corner of the hall, Zhang Li Xue was staring at the baby in Mother Mu's arms. At her side, Mu Zhen Yu stood at the little girl's side as he accompanied her to play with his baby brother.

Because they were celebrating Zhang Jing's birthday, the little princess was dressed prettily in a baby pink gown with a large flower at her waist. Her hair was tied up in a neat ponytail and there was a pink headband with a golden rose.

Looking at the little princess look, Mu Zhen Yu was unable to take his eyes of that girl. It seemed that Zhang Li XUe had grew prettier than the last time he saw her.

Of course, after playing around with Mu Zhen Yu and his baby brother, the little princess seemed to forget that her parents were absent.

At this time, her grandmother, Liu Hui Lan was looking after her as she continued to chat with her friends.

”Mom, have you seen big brother?”

Liu Hui Lan paused when she heard her daughter whispered to her. ”No. Your brother and Qin Yao have not arrived yet?” She glanced at her wristwatch and frowned.

The birthday banquet was going to start soon, but both of them were not around.

”Give them a call,” Liu Hui Lan said. ”They are probably on their way.”

Zhang Yu Ying tightened her grip on her phone. ”I tried. But, big brother's phone was engaged and sister-in-law did not pick up her phone. Mom, I've been trying to call them for the last twenty minutes.”

Liu Hui Lan's expression changed as a thought crossed her mind. She excused herself from the rest of her friends and pulled her daughter to a corner. ”Could it be that they are in an accident. I heard Mister Yang mentioned an accident on the bridge while he was on their way here.”

”Mom, relax. They did not pass that bridge from their home to this hotel,” Zhang Yu Ying spoke as she understood her mother's worry. ”But I heard that the traffic was bad. It could be that they were affected by the traffic.”

”Could be.” Liu Hui Lan nodded. A second later, another thought came to her mind, and Liu Hui Lan pulled at her daughter's arm. ”What if something happens to Qin Yao. She's pregnant. When is her due date again?”

”Mom, there are still two weeks before sister-in-law give birth,” Zhang Yu Ying reminded. ”Besides, Brother would give us a call if sister-in-law is in labor.”

”You continue and give them a call.”

Zhang Yu Ying nodded. She dialed her brother's number again and waited. A sigh of relief escaped her upon hearing the dial tone. Zhang Yu Ying turned to her mother and smiled.

A few seconds later, someone picked up the phone.

”Brother. Where are you?” Zhang Yu Ying spoke as soon as the phone was connected. ”Grandfather's birthday banquet is going to start soon.”

”Sorry. I don't think I will be able to make it to grandfather's birthday banquet.”

Zhang Yu Ying went to a corner and whispered. ”Ah? What's wrong?”

”Your sister-in-law gave birth to a baby boy just now.”

Zhang Yu Ying froze for a few seconds before she was able to respond. ”Brother, sister-in-law gave birth and you did not tell us?”
