Before I knew it, it was time for my birthday party.

Lu Zhong has extensive connections, and this time, in order to reveal Ye Sangsang's identity to the public, he invited almost all the prominent people in S City.

Today, Ye Sangsang was dressed exceptionally glamorously and solemnly, wearing a beige strapless dress. Her usually long, black hair was curled and styled into a bun, adorned with a sparkling diamond hair clip.

Guo Yi was also dressed formally, in a deep red cheongsam that was both elegant and dignified.

Guo Yi was a great beauty when she was young. Looking at her daughter, who looks seven or eight parts like her younger self, she couldn't help but recall her own youthful days.

This is my real daughter.

Guo Yi held a diamond necklace in her hand, the very one that Lu Huan had taken out of the safe a couple of days ago.

Ye Sangsang glanced at the diamond necklace and, seeing that it was covered with diamonds of various sizes, knew it was very expensive. She looked very surprised and asked, "Mom, shouldn't my sister wear such an expensive necklace?"

Given Lu Huan's usual temperament, if she saw that she was wearing such an expensive necklace, she would definitely make a huge fuss.

To everyone's surprise, Guo Yi said with a smile, "This is exactly what your sister specially took out for you to wear."

"What?!"

Ye Sangsang couldn't believe it, as if she had heard a fairy tale. Lu Huan didn't wear it herself, but instead made her wear it?

Could there be some kind of conspiracy or trickery involved?

Ye Sangsang refused, saying, "Since it's my sister's jewelry, how can I wear it? Mom, please give it back to my sister, otherwise she'll be angry!"

"Don't worry, Huanhuan isn't stingy," Guo Yi said with a smile. "Your sister said you're the star of the day and deserve such a beautiful necklace, so she doesn't need it!"

Unable to refuse, Ye Sangsang could only lower her head slightly and let Guo Yi put the diamond necklace on her.

The moment the cold metal touched her skin, it was icy and bone-chilling. Ye Sangsang had a somewhat unreal feeling and murmured, "Did she really say that?"

Lu Huan is completely different from before!

That's what Lu Huan said when she took the necklace out and gave it to her.

If Guo Yi hadn't heard it with her own ears, she probably wouldn't have believed that Lu Huan could be so generous.

After putting the necklace on Ye Sangsang, a dazzling diamond necklace suddenly appeared on her delicate swan neck, like icing on the cake. Guo Yi praised, "Sangsang will definitely be the most eye-catching person in the whole room today."

The mother and daughter were already dressed, while Lu Huan, on the other side, was lazily petting her cat when Chu Han called and urged her to get out of bed.

I went downstairs to get a glass of water, and Guo Yi saw me from the living room.

"Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?!"

Guo Yi, in her high heels, hurried towards her, staring anxiously at her pink pajamas, and pushed her shoulder towards the stairs: "What time is it!"

"No, it's only noon, there's no rush!"

Isn't the birthday party supposed to wait until the evening?

"What do you mean there's no rush!"

Guo Yi hurriedly pushed Lu Huan back to her room, not giving Lu Huan a chance to speak, and told her to hurry back and change into her dress.

The dress was tailored to fit snugly against her body, highlighting her slender figure.

Lu Huan reluctantly changed into her dress and came out, saying, "Mom, it's really too early!"

The dress is very beautiful, but its only drawback is that it's not loose and casual enough.

If possible, she would still like to wear her own loose-fitting clothes to the birthday party.

"What do you mean 'early'? Sangsang is all dressed up already, and you're the only one who just got up, right? You haven't changed your clothes, put on makeup, or even done your hair!" Guo Yi said as she pressed Lu Huan down in front of the vanity mirror. "Ugh! You're really making me anxious!"

Lu Huan muttered under her breath, "Is it really that complicated?"

In fact, it was much more troublesome than she had imagined.

Guo Yi even hired a makeup artist and stylist, and it took them more than two hours to get ready.

Lu Huan sat in the chair, her shoulders aching, with nothing to do.

She wanted to pet the cat to pass the time, but Guo Yi looked disgusted, worried that cat hair would get on her dress.

Gun Gun meowed at Lu Huan, which softened Lu Huan's heart. "Good boy, Mommy will hold you again tonight!"

The makeup artist was busy applying makeup, and Lu Huan was so sleepy that she kept yawning. Suddenly, she felt a jolt on her scalp as several strands of her hair were pulled out, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The stylist quickly apologized, "Your hair is soft, just bear with it!"

Lu Huan gritted her teeth and endured two hours of torment before finally getting the look done.

Guo Yi was immediately captivated by Lu Huan's beauty, staring blankly at the fairy-like Lu Huan.

Lu Huan was beautiful from a young age, and all her friends praised her as a little princess. As Lu Huan grew a little older, this little girl learned to dress herself up, putting on heavy makeup every day until her original appearance was no longer visible.

A while ago, Guo Yi had seen Lu Huan without makeup for a long time and thought that although her daughter was pretty, she was far less stunning than she is now.

Lu Huan has very defined features, and she looks even more beautiful with makeup on.

She's even prettier than Sangsang!

Guo Yi only realized now that Lu Huan was beautiful, but there was not a trace of her own motherhood in her.

Lu Huan said a few words, but seeing that Guo Yi didn't answer him and was staring at him blankly, he waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Mom?"

Strange, is there something on her face?

Lu Huan turned around and glanced at herself in the glasses with suspicion. There was no dirt on her, and everything looked pretty good.

After being called several times, Guo Yi finally came to her senses. "What's wrong?"

Guo Yi looked at him with a strange expression, and Lu Huan shook his head. "It's nothing."

Wearing a formal dress and high heels is something Lu Huan hates the most.

Well, considering this is her last major role as a supporting actress, she has no choice but to dress up and attend.

Just grit your teeth, it's only one night!

Lu Huan hadn't worn high heels in a long time and wasn't used to them, so she took Guo Yi's arm as they went downstairs.

As soon as I came down the stairs, I saw Ye Sangsang standing in the lobby.

What first caught the eye wasn't her face, but the necklace around her neck, which almost overshadowed her.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that she was wearing the million-dollar diamond necklace she had lent out.

As Lu Huan looked at Ye Sangsang, the other woman also spotted him at once.

Ye Sangsang gave a bright smile, called out "Sister," and affectionately hugged Lu Huan, the two looking every bit like sisters.

As evening approached, we set off by car to the hotel.

Lu Huan and Ye Sangsang were in the same car. Lu Huan was looking down at her phone, chatting with Chu Han.

Chu Han was reporting on Chu Jun's situation to her, but Lu Huan didn't want to listen to a single word.

What happens to Chu Jun in the future has absolutely nothing to do with her.

Messages kept coming in, and Lu Huan subconsciously exited the app, opened Gu Zhendong's WeChat, and fell into a daze.

Two days have passed, and their contact remains at the level of their last phone call.

Although he promised to attend my birthday party, I'm worried that something might come up and he won't be able to make it.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, she sent an emoji.

Her eyes were glued to her phone screen, anxiously awaiting news from Gu Zhendong.

This feeling of anxiety was even harder to bear than waiting for her exam results.

The carriage was quite quiet. Ye Sangsang glanced at Lu Huan sitting beside her, her eyes darkened, and she softly called out, "Sister."

Lu Huan turned around and looked at her calmly. "What's wrong?"

Ye Sangsang touched the diamond necklace around her neck, her voice a little timid, "I heard Mom say that this necklace belongs to you, sister, so you should wear it."

As soon as Ye Sangsang opened her mouth, Lu Huan knew what she wanted to do.

Why can't we all just live peacefully? Why do we have to cause trouble?

"No need, you can wear it." Lu Huan refused decisively.

"But..." Ye Sangsang hesitated, "Sister, don't you also like this necklace?"

Who doesn't like beautiful and valuable things!

It's a pity that no matter how much you like it, it doesn't belong to you.

“No need, these things originally belonged to you.” Lu Huan stopped her from taking off the necklace. “Besides, you’re the star tonight, I don’t need to wear something so pretty.”

Lu Huan displayed generosity and composure in every way, showing no concern whatsoever for the necklace.

This thwarted Ye Sangsang's original plan. "Really? Then thank you, sister!"

Lu Huan smiled, and the phone in her palm suddenly vibrated.

I instinctively picked up my phone to check who sent the message.

Upon opening the message, I saw that it was a question mark sent by Gu Zhendong.

【Mr. Gu, I wanted to ask if you'd still be coming to my birthday party tonight?】 【I'm picking out a birthday present for you.】

[Shocking! Can I ask what your birthday present is?] [If I tell you, there won't be any surprise!]

[...]

No matter how Lu Huan asked, the man didn't mention the gift at all.

Lu Huan secretly prayed: As long as it's not a pile of RMB, anything else is fine!

At the same time, I felt a little bit of secret joy; he would come tonight.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Lu Huan spotted Chu Han standing at the entrance.

As soon as Chu Han saw her, she rushed over in her high heels and grabbed Lu Huan's hand, "Why are you so late?"

"There's a traffic jam on the way!"

Ye Sangsang got out of the car right after. As soon as Chu Han saw her, she was like a cat with its fur standing on end. Her eyes were wide open. She pulled Lu Huan inside and angrily questioned Lu Huan, "Why are you sitting with her!"

Chu Han stared at Lu Huan with an expression that said, "You've betrayed me," her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her face full of displeasure.

Lu Huan was both amused and exasperated. "It's just riding in the same car."

"Did she do anything to you?" Chu Han belatedly realized and began to examine Lu Huan's body.

That glance was enough to make her eyes widen even more, and she angrily shouted her name, "Lu Huan!"

The shrill voice was yelling right next to her ear, almost rupturing her eardrums.

Lu Huan covered her ears with one hand, "What is it now? Why are you so jumpy!"

"Why are you dressed like that today?!"

Following Chu Han's gaze, Lu Huan looked down at her dress and asked, "Is there something wrong with it?"

Isn't it quite pretty?

Chu Han was furious. "Look at Ye Sangsang's outfit! It's the latest Dior haute couture gown, and the necklace around her neck. It must cost at least a million! And look at yourself!" She reached out and tugged at her skirt. "Where did you buy this dress? Whose haute couture is it? And why don't you even have any jewelry? How are you going to steal Ye Sangsang's thunder like this?!"

Ye Sangsang was already beautiful, and with her special makeover, she became even more captivating.

No wonder Chu Jun and all the male supporting characters in the book were so crazy about her.

"Then I won't steal her thunder!" She's not a competitive person.

Chu Han heard her whispered words clearly, "Of course not, you're my sister, you can't lose to anyone!"

Lu Huan: "..."
