Chapter 275 Give Me a Chance

Rui Rui's birthday party invited celebrities from all walks of life. On her birthday, the parking lot outside the hotel was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, just like a large-scale car show.

Most of the guests who came had dealings with the Gu or Lu families, or came because of the Xie family.

This birthday party was a children's event. Those with children brought their kids, those without children brought their companions, and those with neither children nor companions brought gifts.

For example, Huo Huaisui.

When she arrived, she was carrying gifts that she and that swindler Xie Qinglan had painstakingly saved up for her nephew while they were out having fun, taking advantage of the money they still had.

Looking at her large and small bags, Huo Huai'an pinched his brow with a slight headache. "Are you moving?"

Huo Huai Sui gave him a look that said, "You think I only have this much stuff when I move?"

Huo Huai'an, recalling her clutter-like room, was convinced. "What is it?"

"Toys," Huo Huaisui began to list, "Spraying dinosaurs, remote control cars, remote control airplanes, remote control tanks, toy trains, gashapon machines, Superman toys, toy guns, puzzles, clay, marbles, yo-yos, pretend play kitchen sets, 'Three Hundred Tang Poems'..."

Huo Huai'an's lips twitched slightly. "There are quite a variety of types."

Huo Huai Sui raised his chin. "That's right."

These little toys were all carefully selected by her; although they weren't valuable, they were plentiful.

Substituting quantity for quality, and then packaging it in a high-end, stylish gift bag, instantly elevates the overall sophistication of the gift.

Huo Huai Sui: "Don't feel bad, I'll give him one too when you have kids."

Huo Huai'an: "...No need for that. Let's just exchange it for cash."

Huo Huai Sui told him to get lost.

Huo Huai'an felt ashamed and, unusually, didn't argue with her, and voluntarily "got lost".

Huo Huai Sui didn't mind and carried her bags towards the hotel entrance.

"Sui Sui." A clear male voice came from behind.

Huo Huai Sui pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

“Darling.” Xie Qinglan walked around to stand in front of her.

Xie Qinglan had accompanied Huo Huaisui to a toy store before, and many of the items were recommended by him, so she naturally knew what was inside.

Xie Qinglan extended her hand, "I'll help you carry it."

Although a normal birthday party is the children's main event, it is also a stage for adults to make a name for themselves. It is a formal occasion, so Xie Qinglan is wearing formal attire today.

Wearing a black suit, white shirt, and black bow tie, he looked clean, sharp, and incredibly handsome.

He looked much more respectable than when he was working as a male model.

When Huo Huai Sui saw his attire, she remembered how he had pretended to be a male model and waiter to deceive her, and said fiercely, "No need to trouble Second Young Master Xie, I'll carry it myself."

Xie Qinglan immediately knew what she was angry about.

It wasn't that he had good eyesight, but rather that Huo Huai Sui's thoughts were written all over his face, so there was no need to guess.

Xie Qinglan smiled and coaxed, "Young Master Xie wants to give you a chance."

Huo Huai Sui paused, glanced at him, then looked towards the hotel entrance, and reluctantly said, "Alright."

A soft, affected voice came from behind them: "Darling, let me help you carry it."

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Then Xie Qingxi and Xie Qingtang walked over.

Xie Qinglan's gaze swept over Xie Qingxi and Xie Qingtang. "Your mother doesn't agree, does she?"

Xie Qingxi didn't react for a moment, "Disagree with what?"

Xie Qingtang slapped her brother's hand away from her shoulder, "I disagree too."

Xie Qingxi met Huo Huaisui's excited, curious, sparkling, and slightly perverted gaze, and finally realized what was happening, jumping three feet away: "Pah, pah, pah!"

This is his own brother.

Even if he likes men, he wouldn't like him, right?

Xie Qingxi: "Second sister-in-law, don't listen to my second brother's nonsense."

Huo Huai Sui's smile vanished as if his expression had changed, and he roared like a cat with its fur standing on end, "Who's your second sister-in-law!"

Xie Qingxi pretended not to hear and continued, "The first time we met was my second brother's idea; I was forced into it."

Xie Qinglan narrowed her eyes.

Huo Huai Sui: "I hadn't even remembered if you hadn't mentioned it. You liar, you cheated Nian Nian out of 50,000 yuan in tips!"

Xie Qingxi: "..."

Tip? Xie Qingtang asked, "What is it?"

Two were afraid that their involvement as male models would get out, and one was afraid that their involvement in hiring male models would get out, so all three of them pretended to be clueless and changed the subject.

Xie Qingtang looked at the three of them, seemingly lost in thought.

Amidst the commotion, the four people arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

It was still early, and there were quite a few people entering. As soon as these four people arrived, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What are you carrying in your hand?" Gu Suixing asked.

Gu Suixing and Lu Fengqing greeted the guests at the entrance of the banquet hall, with Rui Rui standing between them.

As for the elders, they are responsible for entertaining guests at the banquet.

Huo Huai Sui had just raised his hand when he remembered that all his gifts were in Xie Qing Lan's hands.

Just as they were about to retrieve it, Xie Qinglan handed the gift to the family of three, shamelessly saying, "This is a birthday gift that Sui Sui prepared for Rui Rui. Wishing my sister and brother-in-law a long and happy marriage, and little Rui Rui good health, happiness, and carefree days."

Xie Qingxi was increasingly admiring his second brother.

Xing is a few months younger than Erge, but he doesn't seem to feel any pressure calling him brother-in-law.

Lu Fengqing patted Rui Rui gently, "Thank you, Aunt and Uncle."

Today, Rui Rui is the main character. Lu Fengqing didn't dress up too extravagantly, and the mobile jewelry display case was reduced by half, but she still exuded an air of nobility.

Gu Suixing was dressed in a very conventional manner.

If there's anything noteworthy about him, it's that his suit is the same color and style as Rui Rui's, only the sizes are different.

Wearing these clothes, the already similar father and son looked even more alike.

Rui Rui: "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Cousin..."

Xie Qinglan corrected: "It's my uncle."

Rui Rui looked at Lu Fengqing.

Lu Fengqing pursed her lips and remained silent.

Rui Rui had no choice but to look after her father.

Gu Suixing: "They're all your uncles. The one who brought you the gift was your second uncle."

Rui Rui then said, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

He has so many uncles! He has one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven uncles.

Rui Rui rarely speaks more than four words without pausing, and even four words are rare for him. The fact that he was able to say "Thank you, Second Uncle" in one breath was all because when the little guy came to the hotel this morning, Gu Suixing's father grabbed him and threatened him that if he didn't speak properly, he would melt down his little golden turtle.

Rui Rui almost burst into tears after being bullied by her father early on her birthday.

In order to prevent the little golden turtle from being melted, Rui Rui had to try her best to "speak properly".

"Me? Me?" Xie Qingxi pointed to herself. "What should Rui Rui call me?"

Xing Ge is his cousin, and Lu Fengqing is his older cousin. What should their child call him?

Xie Qinglan: "Call him an idiot."

Xie Qingxi wanted to pounce on someone and hit them, but Xie Qinglan quickly dodged.

"Why are you running?" Huo Huai Sui helped stop Xie Qing Lan.

The three of them started arguing in front of the hotel.

Feeling ashamed, Xie Qingtang dragged her two younger brothers, one in each hand, into the banquet hall.

When it was almost time, Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing brought Rui Rui into the venue.

The lights in the entire venue dimmed, except for the stage lights.

The venue gradually quieted down.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Jinhong was the first to walk onto the stage.
