Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Spending Money Day 89
When walking out of the restaurant, Jiang Qinian was still a little dazed.
He found it hard to believe what he had just heard, but his reason told him that Liu Yue could not and had no need to lie about this matter.
He never imagined that the outrageous idea he had once had would actually be the correct answer...
These two are already incredibly influential worldwide. Everyone assumed they were a distant cousin, keeping each other in check. And yet, they have a child? They actually have a child!
Over the years, He Xi and Clo have always advertised themselves as single and childless. Many people don't believe this and think they must have children, otherwise who would inherit this huge family business?
But everyone was only half right. Everyone thought they each had a child, but unexpectedly their child was the same child...
Jiang Qinian was already confused by the "child". He looked at You Jingchuan next to him and his steps seemed a little shaky.
As for Liu Yue, who accidentally revealed the shocking news, she had no real feeling about it and just thought that Hong Kong Disneyland was really fun.
She checked her favorite items several times and was the focus of interaction with all the performers while watching the float parade.
Hehe, although she already has a lot of small peripherals at home, the joy of receiving gifts from NPCs is different.
Who can refuse the limited edition for a private viewing? The joy of the illustrated collection party lies in being able to collect the entire illustrated collection. And if you are the only one who can do this and others cannot get this limited edition, the joy will be doubled!
Liu Yue was delighted at the thought, skipping and dancing along with the float. Disneyland was truly a magical place. She usually lay around whenever possible, but here she felt incredibly energetic and vibrant.
Pei Jianing also joined in the fun with her and took a lot of photos with her.
Pei Yuan looked at You Jingchuan. In such a lively atmosphere, he was actually absent-minded.
That shouldn't be the case. Even if he really had something on his mind, he wouldn't show it so obviously.
Pei Yuan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah... I didn't think anything."
You Jingchuan hadn't reacted yet, but Pei Yuan called his name again and he came back to his senses.
Pei Yuan frowned, wondering why this guy was so nervous.
You are already so old, can't you be more steady and manage your facial expressions in social situations?
Of course, You Jingchuan could see her disapproval from her face, but it was really not his fault. Anyone who heard this would be shocked.
Humph, she can remain calm because she knows nothing. When Cloe appears tonight, she will definitely be shocked.
Thinking of this, it was hard for him not to look at Liu Yue with envy.
What kind of top-notch reincarnation technique is this? Being He Xi’s only daughter is already a blessing, and her biological father is actually Clo!
You Jingchuan decided to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone.
He had just dropped his fork in shock—he couldn't be the only one to lose his composure; they all had to be shocked.
As for Jiang Qinian, You Jingchuan didn't have to worry that he would tell others about it, because he was not the type of person who liked to gossip with others.
Liu Yue, who was celebrating her birthday, went to change her clothes after seeing the floats.
She had tried on several high-end samples before, and found that her favorite was Chanel.
If you ask her which brand of haute couture is better, she will say that each has its own merits and she can appreciate different clothing styles;
But if you ask which brand's clothes are the most comfortable to wear, Liu Yue will say Chanel without hesitation.
Chanel has been able to reach the top of the contempt chain in both ready-to-wear and haute couture. Its own strength is very strong, and its tailoring and fabrics are impeccable. As for the "haute couture-like ready-to-wear" that has been criticized in recent years, in Liu Yue's opinion, it is actually an advantage.
She really doesn't like wearing those dresses with big skirts, which are particularly formal and require a high figure. Chanel makes haute couture into everyday styles rather than special styles for banquets, which is very friendly to Liu Yue.
Anyone who has worn that kind of dress knows what it's like. She just ate a little more at noon, and when she was trying on the dress in the afternoon, the designer kept asking her to breathe in and out, which made her waist so uncomfortable that she almost couldn't breathe.
She is so rich, can she still compromise herself for a piece of clothing? Of course not.
In her mind, this brand is a complete pass. Whoever can wear it is a matter of their own ability. Anyway, she doesn't like it.
Chanel's haute couture is very comfortable. The brand has her consumption records, understands her body shape and aesthetic preferences, and the samples it brings her are particularly to her liking.
Liu Yue chose an off-white dress. The base material of mulberry silk is very skin-friendly. The upper body is a woven pattern, and the lower body is a flowing mesh. The designer also replaced all the rhinestones on the mesh with small diamonds according to her wishes.
The dress is simple in design, but the diamonds make it incredibly eye-catching. But since she was wearing it at her own birthday party, who else would be the center of attention? When it's time to be dramatic, one should be dramatic.
She really liked the layers of tulle on the outside. Influenced by her childhood aesthetic, this kind of layered, light and flowing clothes was synonymous with fantasy and romance in Liu Yue's heart.
Liu Yue discovered that when she recalled her childhood, she only thought of happy things and never felt lost again.
She changed her clothes in the exclusive dressing room and sat down in front of the mirror, waiting for the styling team to do her hair and makeup.
The pink color in her hair had long since faded away. Liu Yue bleached her roots some time ago and dyed the remaining black hair platinum.
Do I really have to keep bleaching my hair or wait for the awkward period of hair dyeing to pass?
Liu Yue wanted to ask the system if there was any "semi-permanent hair color" function, or if it could allow her to change her hair color with just one click.
Forget it, it’s pointless to ask, the system will say it can only give money.
And she has a professional team to help her take care of her hair, so the damage caused by perming and dyeing is actually not a big deal.
When He Xi knocked on the door and came in, Liu Yue had just finished combing her hair.
Behind her were several people in suits holding boxes. Liu Yue glanced over there and was almost blinded by the jewels.
Well, now she understood why in movies and TV shows, and just now, they always brought the box over first and then opened it in front of others...
Just looking at how bright it was just now, it was really eye-catching as it walked along.
He Xi smiled and said, "Yueyue, these are all the jewels I took out from the safe. Which one do you want to wear today?"
Liu Yue thought, no wonder she was stunned just now, it turned out that these jewels were all collection-level for He Xi.
They took a few steps forward and showed her carefully.
First, there was jadeite—Liu Yue had bought jadeite before and knew how rare this grade of imperial green was. Then came the various colored diamonds. The staff nearby were explaining which piece had been passed down for how many years and which deceased jeweler was the master of it.
Mommy's jewelry is indeed rare, but...
Liu Yue was just about to say that Clo had already made arrangements, but before she could finish her words, Clo arrived.
Well, it turns out that Dad is a Cao Cao Promax.
There were also several people following behind Clo, and their configuration was completely copied and pasted from He Xi's side.
When he saw He Xi, he put on a forced smile and snorted twice. He Xi rolled his eyes without any hesitation, with disdain written all over his face.
Chloe: "I already said I'll be responsible for my daughter's jewelry tonight. You should take those broken antiques back and put them away."
He Xi: "This is called historical background, and it's hard to explain it to a nouveau riche like you."
Chloe: "Yueyue is so young, she doesn't need those old-fashioned things. Do you want to use her as a museum display stand?"
He Xi: "If you had prepared something good for her, I wouldn't have said anything. Just open it and take a look at what you brought. As jewelry, there's no sense of design. It just highlights the size of the gemstones. Why don't you just let her come out with the diamond mine on her back?"
"Of course there are different styles in jewelry design. If you can't appreciate it, just keep quiet. I know you envy the stable production of my mine."
"Who cares about those broken rocks? You look pretty green right now, but why can't the US stock market be green?"
Liu Yue: ...
Although she hadn't expected the first meeting of the three of them to be so tense, on reflection, this was quite consistent with the two bosses' usual style. If they suddenly became affectionate, she would sense something was wrong.
Alas, this is what it’s like to have a good home. Just get used to it.
Liu Yue signaled to the stylist not to worry about it and to continue with the task at hand, while she herself lowered her head to play with her phone.
After a while, the two bosses finally called a truce. They reached a consensus and let Liu Yue choose for herself and wear whatever she liked.
Well, now the problem is hers.
Smart Liu Yue had already figured out a solution: "Just wear one set for the first half and one for the second half. Mom and Dad, please stop arguing."
"Then which one will you wear first?" Kro and He Xi said in unison.
Liu Yue: ...
She knew it! Luckily, she was prepared! Coin activation!
The coin flipping method convinced my parents. Although they were not particularly satisfied, they were generally in a good mood as long as they thought that the other party had no advantage.
Liu Yue watched them leave, sighing and shaking her head. She had given too much to this family.
She is alone, but the boss gives her double the love, which sometimes makes her feel torn.
There were several tables at Liu Yue’s birthday party, and the stage in the banquet hall was prepared for the performing guests.
When she saw the stage, she almost felt the fear of being called by her elders to perform when she was a child. Later, after watching the banquet process, she found that she only needed to sit in the audience to eat and drink, and then go up when it was time to cut the cake.
That’s good, Liu Yue felt relieved.
The layout of the banquet hall was greatly remodeled according to He Xi's requirements. In the middle was a T-shaped extended stage, with long tables facing the stage on both sides. This way, no one would have to turn around to watch the performance with their back to the stage.
Dinner is not served on the table, but in a buffet + order mode, which makes it convenient for guests to move around and change seats.
This is Liu Yue's birthday. As long as every visiting guest has the same wish for her happiness, in He Xi's heart, there is no need to distinguish between closeness and distance, or status.
Anyway, no one has a higher status than Liu Yue tonight.
It is common to receive gifts on birthdays, and there is a skill involved in giving them in person or handing them over to an assistant.
If you have a good relationship with the birthday person, or think your gift is particularly impressive, then you should definitely give it to them in person. If your relationship is not that close, and the gift you prepare is just a personal favor, then you can just give it to your assistant to store.
Liu Yue had already sat down at the long table on the right, listening to Sang Yu reporting the gift list to her in real time.
Although this is very convenient, she still wants to receive gifts in person... This way it will feel more like a real birthday, but why do people just come over to clink glasses with her and then leave?
Sang Yu smiled because she was He Xi's daughter.
Given He Xi's financial resources and her doting attitude towards her child, who could guarantee that the gift she gave would be "very presentable"? Most people would rather not look good than look bad; showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong would be pointless.
As for their leaving after a few words, it was also because they wanted to stop at nothing. The banquet hadn't started yet, and guests were still arriving. With so many people wanting to greet Liu Yue, it would be awkward to linger here.
After the formal opening, it is the time for guests with ulterior motives to show off their skills and attract Liu Yue's attention.
Sang Yu was able to figure this out, and He Xi knew it too.
She did not interfere, but was happy to see it happen. She knew that Liu Yue was not the type to compromise herself for others. If something did not attract her interest, or if she found something more interesting, she would turn around and leave.
Since they met, Liu Yue rarely makes requests to her parents.
If there really is someone who can make her so happy, maximize her emotional value, and even make her take the initiative to ask for something, then that person is really capable and should be rewarded.
The protagonist of tonight's banquet is Liu Yue, her mother is He Xi, and everyone who received the invitation knows this.
But, can anyone explain how Cloe ended up here?
Given their relationship, is it good enough for them to invite each other to attend their daughter's birthday party?
——Or, maybe Cloe came here on purpose to cause trouble!
Based on everyone's stereotype of them, I always feel that Kro really could do such a thing...
Some people were gossiping in whispers, wondering if these two had kept their children's information strictly confidential over the years just to prevent the other from doing anything bad?
I heard that He Xi's daughter was lost and adopted for more than ten years, and was found a few days ago. By the way, was it Clo's involvement back then, which is why the two of them are so hostile to each other?
Klo's appearance sparked a lot of discussion and speculation on the field. This was He Xi's home court. When he met He Xi in the past, it was full of tension. The atmosphere between the two was so tense that even a fool could tell what was going on.
Pei Yuan couldn't help but frown. Today was Liu Yue's birthday. Why did Clo choose today to make He Xi unhappy?
She vaguely heard that Clo seemed to have a daughter... He dared to mess up the place today, it would be strange if He Xi didn't retaliate in the future, when would the cycle of revenge end?
Many people had similar thoughts to He Xi. For a moment, everyone's eyes turned towards Liu Yue differently.
Alas, why is Clo so stingy that he has to choose to cause trouble on other people’s children’s birthdays? Will it leave any psychological trauma on Liu Yue?
They certainly didn't dare to say anything in front of Liu Yue, but all of them cast all kinds of sympathetic, complicated, and even somewhat gloating looks at her.
These gazes did not affect Liu Yue, who was a professional eater, but He Xi next to her could see them all.
She sneered in her heart. It seemed that Clo was still somewhat useful. At least he could catch a few self-righteous fools.
The banquet went on smoothly according to He Xi's plan. Clo sat quietly on the left. He didn't move around, and since this was He Xi's territory, everyone was worried that he was really here to cause trouble. So they just went over to greet him and didn't have much of a deep conversation.
It is human nature to want to watch the fun, and no one really wants Liu Yue’s birthday party to be ruined, but Clo’s appearance here makes people want to know what he is going to do.
When the first half was almost over, Clo finally moved.
This would be the cake-cutting session. A few minutes ago, He Xi brought Liu Yue to the stage and introduced her to all the guests present, emphasizing several times that Liu Yue was her "only child."
Everyone understood the subtext: this was He Xi's only certified heir. Although the child had lost his golden spoon as a child, he had found it back when he grew up, and the rest of his life would continue to be filled with wealth and prosperity.
At this time, Clo came on stage.
Everyone was nervous and excited. What on earth was he going to do? He Xi's bodyguards didn't even try to stop him.
Liu Yue gave the first piece of cake to her mother, the second piece to herself, and the third piece was Clo's turn.
She also didn't know why the guests had such strange expressions on their faces. Her cake looked so beautiful!
Liu Yue had just hugged He Xi, and in order to be fair, she also hugged Clo on the stage.
Chloe beamed, patting the top of her head.
Guests:?
Chloe: "Happy birthday, Yueyue."
"I am very happy to be your father. You are my only and most important child by blood."
Liu Yue was a little embarrassed. When her father was in the United States, he was not so corny. But when he came to Hong Kong, he exuded American enthusiasm.
She said, "Thank you, Dad."
Guests: ???
Wait, what did he call you, what did you call him?
At this moment, many guests would rather suspect that they were drunk, had eaten something wrong and were hallucinating, than believe what they had just heard.
Some people were confused: "Isn't she He Xi's daughter? How did she suddenly become Kro's child?"
"Whose child is she anyway? Is Clo going to snatch He Xi's daughter away today?"
You Jingchuan was trying to hold back his laughter, and Jiang Qinian couldn't stand it any longer.
He said, "Is there a possibility that Clo is a boy and He Xi is a girl, and they can just make a perfect pair of parents?"
He knew that this matter was hard to believe. These people would rather suspect that Clo was coming to steal the child than think that the two had the same child.
Well, although his own description was also strange... until now, Jiang Qinian still found it hard to accept that these two people were actually Liu Yue's parents and they had a child together.
Everyone:!!!
Aren’t these two enemies? How come they love each other secretly and even have a child?
Are your years of old grudges, your rage to chop each other down with a knife, all fake? If all this is fake, then what else is real?
If I hadn't seen with my own eyes that Liu Yue called Ke Luo "Dad", Ke Luo said that Liu Yue was her daughter, He Xi also said that Liu Yue was her daughter, and Liu Yue called her "Mom"...
The three of them were cutting the cake on the stage. Even though Chloe and He Xi disliked each other, they had to pretend in front of their daughter...
Today, everyone witnessed such a magical and fantastic thing. Even if someone said at this time that they were aliens and were about to attack the earth, everyone present would probably consider the authenticity of this matter.
After all, even Clo and He Xi can have a child. There is nothing in this world that will never happen.
Everyone looked at Liu Yue in a trance. The heroine who had won the top life script was still happily cutting the cake.

Author's note: The details of the banquet and the reactions to the revelation of Liu Yue's parents' identities will be presented in a forum-style format in the next chapter, which may be shorter. If I haven't finished writing this morning, I'll update it in the afternoon or evening. Readers who don't like the forum-style format can skip it.
It's just a small-scale exposure, she won't be exposed, and she won't show her face on the Internet. Liu Yue is still a low-key and happy salted fish~
