Today is indeed her birthday, and also the original owner’s birthday.
Maybe it was fate that they were born on the same day!
But whether it is my own or the original owner's memory.
Regarding birthdays, there is basically no information.
For nearly thirty years, Lin Jiaojiao was alone most of the time. Days like her birthday, which required the company of family and friends and a lively time together, were never what she was supposed to have.
But she doesn't care, and sometimes even forgets.
As for the original owner, ever since her mother died and with that kind of personality, who would remember her?
"What's wrong? You don't like it?"
Ji Huaian noticed Lin Jiaojiao's mood and asked nervously. Suddenly he remembered something and hurried closer: "Did something happen? You haven't come back for such a long time..."
"What are you thinking about! I'm just very happy!"
Lin Jiaojiao dotingly pinched the two little ones' cheeks, squatted down and hugged them in her arms: "Thank you, Mom likes it very much. But when did you practice this dance? How come Mom doesn't know anything about it?"
"Last Sunday, Dad said Mom's birthday was coming up and we should celebrate it together. My sister said she learned a dance at school and she taught me!"
"My brother is a quick learner!"
Did you start planning last week?
Lin Jiaojiao looked up in surprise at Ji Huaian who was looking at them lovingly on the side, and her heart was beating fast.
"Noodles don't taste good when they're cold, come and try some!"
The noodles are chewy and refreshing.
"It tastes great! This is the best noodles I've ever had!"
Ji Huaian took out the prepared vanishing cream from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Jiaojiao: "This is for you."
"You prepared this?"
"I wonder if you'd like it?"
"..." Lin Jiaojiao couldn't suppress a smile on her lips. She took the vanishing cream, opened it and gently applied it on the back of her hand. The cool touch was like a stream of sweet spring water flowing into her heart, moistening her long-dried and cold heart.
It seems like a good way to celebrate your birthday!
After eating the longevity noodles, Zhang Yang brought two packages.
They belong to Li Qiufen and Lin's father respectively.
The recipients were her and Lin Jinbao.
“Why are they sent separately?”
Lin Jiaojiao and Ji Huaian had the same question.
In addition to the package, the two also sent two letters each.
Both packages belong to Li Qiufen.
The letter said that the bigger one was Lin Jinbao's and the smaller one was hers.
Eighty percent of the content of the lengthy letter was about concern for Lin Jinbao, and the remaining part was about advising her to take good care of her brother.
Lin Jiaojiao understood that if she was not expected to take care of Lin Jinbao, she probably wouldn't even have this small package.
As for my father's side, it was surprising!
In addition to a letter, there was also a remittance slip for two hundred yuan.
The letter said he was worried about her life on the island and asked how she was eating, how she was staying, and whether Ji Huaian was treating her well. He also emphasized that if she had time in the future, she could send a letter home, and if she had any difficulties, she could talk to him directly. This was the same for both her and Lin Jinbao. Finally, he emphasized a happy birthday!
It turns out that he knew.
This letter shattered Lin Jiaojiao's understanding of her father. She suddenly understood why the original owner still had fantasies about him even though she had been ignored in that family for so many years.
The words of concern are touching, but more of it is a pity.
She entered the original owner's body and took on her emotions, so naturally she could empathize with them to some extent.
If the original owner were still alive, he would probably be very happy to see this letter, right?
As for her.
In fact, from the moment I arrived on Shanghai Island, I had already planned to completely cut off contact with that family.
After all, they have nothing to do with each other.
But now...
"Dad still cares about you."
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you?"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and changed the subject, putting the letter and other things away for the time being.
"Let's go out to eat today! Since we came to the island, our family of four hasn't gone out to eat together. Today is your birthday, perfect!"
Ji Huaian also consciously stopped talking.
The two little guys were very excited when they heard that they could go to the restaurant for dinner.
Seeing that they were happy and thinking that it would save some energy, Lin Jiaojiao readily agreed.
When several people arrived at the hotel.
It was already getting dark.
Now is the busiest time of the day for the restaurant.
At this moment, the door was full of people.
The four of them finally squeezed in, only to find chaos inside.
"It's going to kill me! Someone's going to die! Someone's going to die!"
Next to the round table on the right side of the door, there was a man lying straight on the ground, his body twitching and his eyes rolling up. He looked quite scary!
Everyone around looked terrified.
"What's going on?"
"Master Fang, what's going on?"
"It's poisoned! They say there's something wrong with the food! Manager Wang is not here, what should we do now?" Zhang explained with a pale face.
Ji Huaian had already taken the lead in coming to the man to check on him.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the person was still breathing.
"You guys are so cruel! This restaurant is a shady place. They actually poisoned the food!"
Seeing the dirty water splashed on himself.
The waiters were all panicked.
"Don't talk nonsense! There are so many people who come here to eat every day, how come he is the only one who got into trouble?"
"That's right! Why would we poison him for no reason?"
"Yes, our restaurant has been open for many years. You have to be responsible for what you say!"
…
"The problem is with the chef. It was your chef who poisoned it!"
The chefs became even more panicked when they heard this. They looked at each other and finally set their sights on the head chef, Master Zhang.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chef Zhang in the corner saw everyone's eyes focused on him and panicked: "I'm not the only chef!"
"Master Zhang, these are all our specialty dishes. We are not qualified to make them!"
"..." Master Zhang was speechless after being scolded, and changed the subject: "There are so many dishes, so many people eating, why is he the only one who has problems? Maybe..."
“That’s the dish!”
Wang Dong, who was dining with the poisoned man, brought out one of the dishes. "This is it! I was sitting next to him just now, and he was drinking this shrimp and mushroom soup!"
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes changed slightly.
This dish was one of the items on the menu she brought last time.
How could there be a problem?
Just as she was thinking, Chef Zhang pointed the finger at her: "If it's really this dish, then it has nothing to do with me. The problem is with the recipe! She happened to be here. She provided the recipe to our restaurant! I made everything according to the recipe!"
Ji Huaian noticed that the eyes of the people around him fell on his wife, and immediately stood up to block the way: "Don't jump to conclusions before you understand the situation!"
“There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the recipes I provide.”
Lin Jiaojiao calmly walked out from behind Ji Huaian and said in a firm tone.
