"Susu, quickly serve tea to Second Young Master Gu. He's showing you a lot of respect by attending your birthday banquet. Go and serve him tea." Father An didn't understand her meaning and instead pulled her to Gu Mu's side.
Mother An followed and brought over a cup of hot tea, handing it to An Susu. "Daughter, quickly offer tea to Young Master Gu."
He also winked at An Susu, urging her to seize this opportunity, as it might be difficult to encounter Gu Mu again.
An Susu was almost driven mad by the couple. How could they still be thinking about that? Was it that she didn't want to get closer to Gu Mu? He didn't even consider her a threat, yet she was still trying to get close to him?
"Second Brother Gu, this is Su Su's toast to you. Please have some tea." An Su Su held the teacup, her lowered eyes and furrowed brows making her look pitiful.
"..." Gu Mu smiled, but refused to take her cup of tea.
"Second Brother Gu..." He refused to take the teacup, making An Susu very embarrassed and unable to save face. The teacup was also very hot, and her skin turned red from the heat.
"Sister Susu, my second brother doesn't like tea, so I'll do it for him!" Gu Qingqing quite enjoyed watching Gu Mu bully An Susu, but she still gave An Susu some face.
"It's alright, Qingqing, you drink it! I forgot that Second Brother Gu likes black coffee, it's my fault."
"Then I'll drink it? Sister Susu, you're so kind. Drinking this cup of tea offered by the birthday boy will surely bring me good fortune and happiness!"
Gu Qingqing took the teacup from An Susu. Because it was a little hot, she opened the teacup to blow on it to cool it down, but Gu Mu snatched it away.
"Don't burn your hands, let me do it!"
"Huh? Second brother... Okay! Second brother, you're so good to me."
An Susu watched Gu Qingqing and Gu Mu put on a show of brotherly and sisterly affection, which made her so angry that she gritted her teeth and pinched the hem of her skirt with her ten fingers.
However, she wore a gentle smile, and no one noticed anything unusual about her.
An's parents also noticed Gu Mu's coldness towards An Susu, and dared not say anything more or do anything foolish.
The waiter pushed a cart into the private room, on which was placed a six-tiered cake. It was shaped like a Barbie doll wearing a pink cake dress and a diamond crown. It was really, really beautiful.
Countless girls in the audience gasped in amazement, filled with envy and jealousy.
They all want such a beautiful cake; it probably costs five or six thousand yuan to buy one!
Gu Qingqing also really liked this cake; it was specially ordered by her, and she chose the most expensive one.
After all, you get what you pay for!
An Susu was also very satisfied with the birthday cake. While receiving the girls' blessings and envy, she secretly thought that Gu Qingqing had done a pretty good job this time.
The cheerful melody of "Happy Birthday" slowly filled the air, and everyone sang along to the English version of the song, each holding a phone with its flashlight on, emitting a dazzling light.
In the dimly lit private room, the eighteen candles of the Rebirth Day cake emitted a faint yet bright candlelight, creating a beautiful and romantic atmosphere.
Seeing this scene before her, An Susu was deeply moved. This was the culmination of her four years of hard work and dedication, finally reaping a rich reward.
It wasn't in vain that I put in so much effort and worked so hard.
An Susu interlocked her fingers, squinted her eyes, and silently recited her wish in her heart: I want to be a superior person.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. Thank you for taking care of me and supporting me all these years. I'm so happy, really, thank you."
After making her wish, An Susu opened her bright and beautiful eyes and looked at her parents and Gu Qingqing and the others beside her.
"Sister Susu, I wish you all your dreams come true and happiness every day! This is a gift for you, take a look and see if you like it." Gu Qingqing took out a small red box from her bag and placed it in An Susu's hand.
This was a gift she had specially chosen, to ensure that An Susu would like it, though it was a bit of a waste of money.
