After ending the call with Fu Hanzheng, she remained silent for a long time, feeling dejected.
Yuan Shuo sensed something was off and glanced at her in the rearview mirror.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, Fu Hanzheng can't fly there, he won't be back tonight," Gu Weiwei said with a forced smile.
The people in the car fell silent for a moment, then Ji Cheng broke the silence with a smile.
"It's alright. Let's all celebrate for you today. Tomorrow, when Uncle Fu from the Fu family comes back, he can celebrate for you separately."
Didn't you call at noon and say you would definitely come back?
Now he says he's not coming back after just one phone call. Fu Hanzheng doesn't seem like such an unreliable person.
“Yes, join us for some fun today, and you two can have a sweet time together tomorrow,” Luo Qianqian added.
Perhaps fearing she might be in a bad mood, Ji Cheng talked about his funny stories from school the whole way.
Gu Weiwei chatted and laughed with them, but the sense of loss and sadness in her heart could not be erased.
When the group arrived at the Fu family's old residence, as soon as the car was parked, Madam Fu, along with Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi, came out to greet them.
Since Xiao Yuanbao had been staying here for a while, he greeted Madam Fu sweetly as soon as he got off the car.
"grandmother!"
"Oh my, Little Yuanbao is here too." Madam Fu bent down to greet the little guy.
Yuan Shuo picked up the child, greeted the others, and then carried the child inside.
Madam Fu looked at Gu Weiwei and sighed.
"Han Zheng called you, right? He won't be back today. If you knew this would happen, why did you even go on that business trip?"
“Exactly,” Fu Shiqin agreed, then added, “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry, I’ll buy you a washboard tomorrow.”
Fu Shiyi chimed in, "What day can you miss? Today is no exception. You're really something, brother."
Gu Weiwei was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, it's not like he deliberately didn't come back. There's nothing we can do if the plane can't take off."
"Alright, sister-in-law, come in and see what Mom has prepared for your birthday party," Fu Shiyi said.
Gu Weiwei followed the group into the house. As soon as she entered, both sides of the path leading to the living room were filled with vibrant pink roses. Various pink and white balloons were tied to the walls, and even the stair railings were decorated with them.
The villa, originally designed in a classic Chinese style, has been transformed into a very pink and girly space.
Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi stood on either side of her, looking at the elaborately arranged birthday party.
"This is the most extravagant birthday party I've ever seen in my family. We've never had anything like this except for my grandma's birthday."
"It's because Mom has always dreamed of having a daughter and wanted to throw her a birthday party. Today, her dream has finally come true."
...
Upon hearing this, Madam Fu glared at the two of them.
"What do you men do for your birthday parties? How pretentious!"
"Yes, yes, your daughter-in-law is the real one, we were all adopted." Fu Shiyi shrugged.
Looking at the carefully arranged corners of the room, Gu Weiwei was deeply moved.
"Auntie, thank you for going to so much trouble."
Fu Shiqin glanced at her, then looked at his own mother.
“Sister-in-law, if you don’t call her Mom, she’ll cry.”
Ever since her own mother accepted Mu Weiwei, she had been eagerly waiting for her to come home and call her "Mom."
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips and looked at Madam Fu. Under Madam Fu's expectant gaze, she gently called out.
"mom."
