As soon as Xu Moran and Xu Ye reached the entrance of the residential area, someone who knew her said to her, "Little Xu, I heard those people are looking for you."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Moran with a worried expression. After all, Xu Moran had just arrested a habitual criminal who had stolen from her house not long ago. Those habitual criminals were all in gangs, and they were afraid that they would retaliate against Xu Moran.

Xu Moran thanked her kind neighbor and walked into the community. There were indeed many people gathered at the entrance of the small house she rented.

After working as a criminal investigator for more than half a year, she was still able to tell whether someone was a good or bad person just by their clothes and appearance.

There were quite a few people, but none of them looked fierce or menacing.

Among the group, some sharp-eyed people had already spotted Xu Moran and exclaimed, "Miss Xu is back!"

Soon, Xu Moran was surrounded by a group of people. From a distance, it looked like she was being attacked, and the situation was not good for her. In fact, she was completely confused, wondering what was going on and why these people were holding various gifts.

There were many people, and the variety of gifts was also great.

Some people were holding shoes, some were holding clothes, and some were holding jewelry. Even more outrageous was one person who was holding a cake.

There were many people and many gifts, but Xu Moran didn't look at them all. Instead, she asked the leader, "What are you guys trying to do?"

The leader gave a professional smile. "Ms. Xu, today is your birthday. These are gifts your father asked us to deliver."

Xu Moran, "..."

She gives off a feeling of having mistakenly married into a wealthy family.

According to her, she was to return all gifts, no matter what they were. However, as soon as she uttered the word "return," the faces of those who had received the gifts changed drastically.

Even more so, some of the more timid ones had red eyes and were on the verge of crying.

Xu Moran, "..."

The leader pleaded with Xu Moran, "Miss Xu, please have pity on us. When we came here, Mr. Xu said that if you don't accept the goods, he will make us all lose our jobs."

Xu Moran didn't want so many people to lose their jobs because of her, so she nodded helplessly, "Okay, put your things down first."

The leader looked at Xu Moran with a helpless expression, "Miss Xu, I don't know where to put the things."

Xu Moran walked into the building, saying, "Leave your things at my place first..."

Before she could even utter the last "ba," she was stunned by what she saw before her.

What's going on? Why are there so many people standing at the entrance of the building? Judging from their clothes, they are a different group from the people outside the building.

The person leading the group smiled sweetly when she saw Xu Moran. Without even confirming her identity, she said to Xu Moran, "Miss Xu, you're finally back."

Xu Moran looked at her and asked, "Do you know me?"

The leader laughed and said, "Miss Xu, of course we know each other. Otherwise, the client wouldn't have entrusted us to deliver your birthday gift."

.

Xu Moran supported himself with one hand and sighed helplessly, "Could you tell me the name of the person who commissioned you?"

The leader looked cautious, adopting an attitude that said, "Even if you kill me, I won't reveal my client's name."

Xu Moran knew that forcing it would be useless, so he didn't force it.

Forty minutes later, as Xu Moran looked at the gifts piled up, almost taking up half the living room, he couldn't help but ask Xu Ye, "You said that one group's gifts were arranged by Xu Xiusen, so what about the other group?"

This wasn't her first birthday, but it was the first time she was remembered and received so many gifts. The gift from Xu Xiusen was clearly stated by the person who gave it; what she couldn't understand was the gift from anyone other than Xu Xiusen.

It seems that apart from Xu Xiusen, whom she only recognized as her godfather today, she doesn't know any other important figures.

Completely baffled, that's why I asked Xu Ye.

Xu Ye was looking down at the gift when Xiao Mei, being a dog, also showed great interest in the gift that someone had given to Xu Moran. She was sitting opposite Xu Ye, sniffing it with her dog nose and scratching it with her dog paws.

Hearing Xu Moran's question, Xu Ye looked up at her and said, "Ranran, this is what you mean by having connections in high places. I'm sure many people know that Xu Xiusen has taken you as his goddaughter. There are always many people in this world who want to take advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with Xu Xiusen. Why not?"

Xu Moran thought about it for a moment and then realized that Xu Ye's words made a lot of sense. The gifts that followed were probably given by people who wanted to curry favor with Xu Xiusen.

Xu Moran didn't look at what the gifts were, but sighed inwardly. If that person wanted to use her to further curry favor with Xu Xiusen, they would probably be disappointed, because she wouldn't try to trick Xu Xiusen like the goddaughters who trick their godfathers are popular nowadays.

No matter how many gifts you receive, they can't fill an empty stomach. Xu Moran went to the kitchen to cook. It was getting late, and she wanted to have a simple meal, but she was afraid that Xu Ye would be picky, so she specifically asked him if noodles would be okay for lunch.

Xu Ye had no objections, as if the person who was so picky and particular that he only used Evian water when cooking porridge had nothing to do with him anymore.

He was always a simple and frugal comrade who never wasted money.

Xu Moran could actually sense that Xu Ye never objected to anything she said when he was in front of her, but when he was behind her back, he was doing it according to his own wishes.

Everyone wants a better life and pursues greater enjoyment, which is perfectly understandable, and Xu Moran wouldn't say anything more about Xu Ye.

Xu Moran had just arrived in the kitchen and was opening the refrigerator to take out half a chicken, ham, vegetables, and the like when something started tickling her foot. Looking down, she saw that there was nothing else besides Xiao Mei.
