The next day, Benson Smith and Samuel Smith hosted their birthday celebrations at Indigo Hotel’s Peony Hall and Lotus Hall respectively.

Sean Smith, Paul Smith and the rest of the members of the Smith family were gathered at the Lotus Hall, where Samuel Smith’s luncheon was held.

Relatives and friends who had started streaming in, dropped by the Peony Hall to pass Benson Smith a small gift, before heading to Samuel Smith’s side with the expensive presents.
