"No need, I can go by myself," Bai Qianmo refused outright.
Bai Kangyan hesitated for a moment, knowing that Qianmo was a strong-willed girl, so he didn't insist that Bai Luoyu pick her up.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Hang up the phone
Bai Kangyan let out a long sigh: "I feel more nervous talking to Qianmo on the phone than talking to my multi-million dollar client."
Han Songyan's heart had been hanging in suspense the whole time, and she only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Bai Qianmo agree to attend the birthday party.
"What does Qianmo like to eat? I'll have someone prepare the ingredients first thing tomorrow morning."
"Don't rush. I'll call my sister-in-law later. Qianmo has been staying there for a while, so she definitely knows her tastes..."
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, call her." Han Songyan immediately took out her phone and searched for Xu Hualan's number.
Bai Kangyan: "..."
Looking at his emotionally agitated wife, he felt that the scene before him was somewhat unreal!
Han Songyan dialed Xu Hualan's number.
Xu Hualan was a little surprised. Usually, when the two families kept in touch, it was Bai Kangyan who would call her. Han Songyan and she had been secretly competing for years, so Han Songyan would never take the initiative to contact her.
"Sister-in-law, tomorrow is Laba Festival, which happens to be Qianmo's birthday. Kangyan and I would like to invite Dad, my older brother and sister-in-law, and Yitang to Qianmo's 20th birthday party tomorrow. Are you available tomorrow?"
"I was just talking to the old man about how tomorrow is Laba Festival, and we were thinking of having a birthday banquet for Qianmo at the old house. Since you've already made the arrangements, we can just go there directly."
"That's great! Our family hasn't had a get-together in a while, so tomorrow is a good opportunity for relatives and friends to get together."
Remembering something, Xu Hualan tentatively asked, "Did Qianmo and Xiruo spend time together?"
Han Songyan paused for a moment: "They share the same birthday. Kang Yan's idea is that, in order to avoid favoritism, it would be best for the two sisters to celebrate together."
Xu Hualan didn't say anything. Celebrating her birthday at Longxi Garden meant she would be with both girls.
Will Qianmo and Xiruo be safe and sound tomorrow?
"By the way, sister-in-law, what kind of dishes does Qianmo usually like to eat? I'd like to prepare them in advance."
Xu Hualan snapped out of her thoughts: "Qianmo is allergic to seafood, but otherwise she's not a picky eater. Oh, right, her favorite food is probably braised beef."
Braised beef...
Han Songyan silently kept it in mind.
Qianmo has been home for so long, and she still doesn't know what this girl likes to eat. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels guilty towards this child.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. If you're free tomorrow, please come over early."
Xu Hualan responded and then hung up the phone.
The old man stood under the veranda, teasing the birds in the gilded cage.
The little bird flapped its beautiful wings and hopped around in its cage.
"Was that a call from Longxiyuan?"
"Yes, tomorrow is Qianmo's birthday. Kang Yan and his wife want to celebrate Qianmo's birthday at Longxi Garden."
