Although Fu Hanzheng was absent from the birthday party, it was still very lively with Mrs. Fu around.
Dinner was ready in the kitchen and Mrs. Fu came out and said, “It is almost time, we can cut the cake now.”
Fu Shiyi, He Chi, Ji Cheng and Luo Qianqian placed candles on the cake, lit them up and asked the servant to turn off the light.
Everyone started to sing a birthday song around Gu Weiwei, and the dim candlelight made it look very cozy.
Under everyone’s urging, she blew out the candles.
When the servant turned on the light, Fu Shiyi and He Chi popped the confetti and ribbons and paper filled the room.
Gu Weiwei cut the cake with the knife and the servant helped to carry the cake and cut it into pieces.
Old Lady passed a small gift box to Gu Weiwei and said, “Happy birthday, girl.”
Gu Weiwei took it and thanked her with a smile.
“Thanks, grandma.”
“Open it and see if you like it,” Old Lady said with a smile.
Gu Weiwei opened the box carefully and found that inside was a jade bracelet.
“Old Lady, you are being too biased. I have liked you for so many years and you couldn’t bear to part with it for me, but now you are being so generous?”
Mrs. Fu looked at the Old Lady, pretending to be wronged. Although young people nowadays did not like to wear jade jewelry, she knew that it was something that the Old Lady treasured.
Gu Weiwei could tell that the bracelet was very expensive, so she said to the Old Lady, “Grandma, this is too expensive.”
“We are family now, no need to stand on ceremony,” the Old Lady said and asked her to accept it.
Gu Weiwei put away the bracelet and asked the servant to put the gift on the table.
Mrs. Fu also took out the present she had prepared. “I didn’t give it to you properly last year, please don’t take it to heart.”
“Thank you so much for making the arrangements and giving me gifts.”
Gu Weiwei was too embarrassed to take it, but Mrs. Fu forced it into her hands.
“Sister-in-law, open it,” Fu Shiyi said.
Gu Weiwei threw a look at Mrs. Fu. “Then I will open it.”
“Open it,” Mrs. Fu said with a smile.
Gu Weiwei carefully opened the box and found a set of jewelry inside. She remembered that it was a rare piece auctioned by the European Royal Family.
He Chi immediately complained.
“The gifts of the rich always exceed my imagination.”
After Mrs. Fu gave it to her, Fu Shengying took out an unpacked box from his pocket and said as he placed it on the table, “I don’t understand what you girls are thinking, so don’t mind me.”
“Thanks.”
Gu Weiwei thanked him gratefully and opened the lid only to find that it was a car key.
Fu Shiyi got so excited when he saw the car keys.
“Dad, I have asked you for this car for three years, and now you are giving it to my sister-in-law instead of me?”
His father had collected so many good cars over the years and he had been eyeing this one for so many years. His father hadn’t even allowed him to touch it and now he was giving it away.
“I have given you a car before,” Fu Shengying said.
“You gave me a car worth a third of my sister-in-law’s presents, what do you think? Second Brother and I were clearly adopted by you!” Fu Shiyi complained unhappily.
Sister-in-law had the Old Mansion set up for her birthday and they were giving her presents as if they were free. They were just here for a meal, and if they were in a good mood, they would give them some food.
Fu Shengying squinted at him. “Yes, I picked you up from the trash.”
He Chi patted his shoulders sympathetically and consoled him.
“It is a bit irritating.”
Having consoled Fu Shiyi, he turned around to console Fu Shiqin but found that Fu Shiqin was nowhere to be seen.
“Where is your second brother?”
