After the call with Fu Hanzheng, she stayed silent for a long time in disappointment.
Yuan Shuo sensed that something was wrong and glanced at her through the rear-view mirror.
“What happened?”
“Nothing, Fu Hanzheng won’t be able to make it home tonight,” Gu Weiwei said with a forced smile.
There was a moment of silence in the car and Ji Cheng said with a smile, “It is okay, let us celebrate with you today. When Uncle Fu comes home tomorrow, he can celebrate with you.”
Didn’t he say that he would be back in time?
But Fu Hanzheng was not such an unreliable person.
“Yes, join us today. You two can have fun tomorrow,” Luo Qianqian added.
Probably fearing that she would be in a bad mood, Ji Cheng kept telling her interesting stories about her school.
Gu Weiwei talked and laughed with them, she didn’t want to feel disappointed but she just could not get rid of the feeling.
They arrived at the Fu Family’s mansion and as the car pulled over, Mrs. Fu and Fu Shiyi came out to welcome them.
Since Yuan Bao had previously lived at the Old Mansion for a while, he greeted Mrs. Fu sweetly the moment he got out of the car.
“Grandma!”
“Oh my, Yuan Bao is here too.” Mrs. Fu bent down and greeted the boy.
Yuan Shuo picked up the child, greeted them and carried the child inside.
Mrs. Fu looked at Gu Weiwei and sighed.
“Hanzheng called you, right? He won’t be able to make it home today. If I had known this would happen, I would not have allowed such a mistake.”
“Exactly.” Fu Shiqin agreed and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry, I will buy you a washboard tomorrow.”
Fu Shiyi also said, “What kind of day is this to miss? You can’t miss it, what is our brother thinking?!”
Gu Weiwei did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, it is not that he is not coming home on purpose. There is no way for the plane to take off.”
“Alright, sister-in-law, go in and take a look at the birthday party our mother has prepared for you,” Fu Shiyi said.
Gu Weiwei followed them inside and saw that the living room was filled with pink roses, pink and white balloons and even the stair railings were decorated.
The original Chinese-style villa had been decorated in a very feminine way.
Fu Shiyi and Fu Shiqin stood next to her and said as they looked at the birthday decorations, “This is the best birthday party I have ever seen, except for grandma’s birthday party.”
“Our mother has always wanted to have a daughter and even wanted to hold a birthday party for her one day. Today she has fulfilled her dreams.”
…
Mrs. Fu glared at him.
“What are you guys doing on her birthday? Don’t be unreasonable.”
“Yes, yes, yes, your daughter-in-law is your real daughter, we are adopted.” Fu Shiyi shrugged.
Gu Weiwei was very touched by the exquisite decorations in the room.
“Thank you so much, Auntie.”
Fu Shiqin glanced at her and then at his mother.
“Sister-in-law, if you don’t call her Mom, she will cry.”
Ever since her own mother had accepted Mu Weiwei, she had been hoping that Mu Weiwei would marry Fu Hanzheng and call her mom.
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips and called out to Mrs. Fu, under Mrs. Fu’s expectant gaze, “Mom.”
