"When...when did I teach you?"
Xie Hui glanced at Old Madam Jing, who was engrossed in watching the show, and two blushes immediately appeared on her fair cheeks. Then she looked at her innocent-looking but actually mischievous youngest daughter.
His expression was a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and he pinched Jing Qingyue's soft little face as if punishing her.
"Remember, your mother is only in her thirties, not old at all. You can't say I'm old anymore, or I'll get angry."
Seeing that her mother was shy, little Jing Qingyue could only nod, then sighed and shrugged like a little adult.
"Oh, adults are really strange. Why can't they just be honest and face their age openly?"
Xie Hui: (′-i_-｀)
"Pfft..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the living room erupted in thunderous laughter.
Why are the Jing family members so ridiculous? It seems that apart from Jing Qingyun, who is somewhat normal, the rest of them are not quite normal.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
No, I really can't laugh anymore, they're laughing so hard their stomachs hurt.
Jing Qingyue finally felt embarrassed and clung to Sheng Lingwei's slender waist like a clingy baby.
"Sister-in-law~~ I'm easily embarrassed and can't stand being teased. Please don't let them laugh at me, okay~ please?"
Sheng Lingwei ruffled Jing Qingyue's hair and teased, "I can make them stop laughing, but what benefit do I get in return?"
Jing Qingyue's eyes darted around, and she quickly stuffed her purse into Sheng Lingwei's hands before raising her head and saying with great pride:
“Sister-in-law, this is all my savings. I’m giving it all to you. You can spend it however you want. If you don’t have enough, just tell me. My mother has money anyway.”
Xie Hui: "..."
Other people's daughters are their parents' little darlings, but her daughter is a troublemaker.
How to solve this?
She really didn't want this daughter anymore!
Sheng Lingwei smiled broadly as she returned the money pouch to Jing Qingyue, saying, "Your sister-in-law has her own money and wouldn't care about your little bit of cash. You should save it for yourself!"
“Alright!” Jing Qingyue pouted, then smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, I inherited my mother’s talent and I’m good at business. After we go to Yucheng County, I will do business to make money just for you to spend.”
A warm feeling washed over Sheng Lingwei. The little girl in front of her blinked her sincere big eyes, which almost melted her heart.
She didn't want anything from her.
But who doesn't like a warm-hearted and pretty young girl?
Sheng Lingwei nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you to earn money for me to spend. Don't be reluctant to spend it then!"
Jing Qingyue patted her chest loudly and said earnestly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I, Jing Qingyue, keep my word."
"No way!" Nangong Zichen roared. How dare Jing Qingyue try to steal his sister?
After hurriedly shoving the gift box into Jing Qingyun's hands, she walked angrily toward Jing Qingyue, her face full of unhappiness.
“Jing Qingyue, although you are my good friend, we can share interesting things and play around with each other, you should never have tried to take my sister away from me.”
Jing Qingyue smiled and blinked her big eyes, tilting her head as she said, "Wuyou, I didn't try to steal your sister from you!"
Nangong Zichen sneered, "Still saying you didn't steal it? Aren't you just lying through your teeth?"
"Hey, hey, hey, can you not get so agitated? I haven't finished speaking yet. Let me finish before you speak, okay?"
"Hmph, then hurry up and tell me."
"Hehe." A sly glint flashed in Jing Qingyue's eyes as she chuckled, "I didn't try to steal your sister, but I did try to steal my sister's sister-in-law."
Nangong Zichen frowned. "Are you reciting a tongue twister? Humph, I don't care if you're trying to steal my sister or my sister-in-law, you can't stick to my sister. I'm the one my sister loves the most."
“You’re not,” Jing Qingyue retorted immediately, hands on her hips. “My older brother is my sister-in-law’s favorite person. You can only be second at most.”
"Jing Qingyue!" Nangong Zichen's voice suddenly rose, "Do you believe I'll throw you into the sky right now?"
"I don't believe it! Come on then!"
"you……"
Sheng Lingwei's eyes darkened, and she immediately stopped him, saying, "Wuyou, watch your words and actions, and don't do anything impulsive."
Nangong Zichen immediately deflated, glared at Jing Qingyue, and then walked away angrily to the side.
This was the first time he had ever encountered such an annoying girl, but as a grown man, he could only put on a brave face and couldn't do anything about her!
Jing Qingyue blinked and hurriedly went to Nangong Zichen to make him happy. In no time, the two little ones made up.
They really are a pair of adorable bickering lovers!
Seeing the little guy make up as before, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued exchanging gifts and chatting.
After the gifts were given, everyone sat around a large round table to eat, which was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.
For this birthday banquet, the Shen family truly put on all their best dishes, and everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.
Sheng Lingwei raised a glass full of juice and called out to everyone, "Come on, everyone, fill your glasses! Let's raise a glass together and wish Xiaoyunzi a happy birthday and all her wishes come true."
"Okay, I'll fill it up right away."
Everyone stood up with smiles, raised their clear glasses, and looked at Jing Qingyun, saying in unison:
"Happy birthday to Prince Jing (Qingyun, brother-in-law, elder brother, Brother Jing), may all your wishes come true!"
Jing Qingyun's eyes reddened, and a genuine smile spread across her face as she took the initiative to clink her cup against everyone else's.
"Thank you everyone here. Thank you for giving me a birthday I will never forget. I am very touched and grateful..."
The glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and everyone's smiles widened. Then they drank it all in one hearty gulp.
Sheng Lingwei continued, "Come on, let's toast the second cup to Grandpa and Grandma Shen, Uncle and Aunt. Without your hard work, there wouldn't be such a sumptuous banquet tonight. Thank you for your hard work."
During their time in the space, the four elders of the Shen family had become familiar with everyone and were no longer as awkward as before.
They smiled broadly and readily admitted that they weren't tired.
...
The birthday banquet ended amidst everyone's laughter and joy, and then it was time to eat the birthday cake.
It was a three-tiered birthday cake made by Shenyang and Yue Mingxi themselves.
The first layer is a fruit platter cake, the second layer is a chocolate cheesecake, and the third layer, which is the top layer, is decorated with a picture of Jing Qingyun riding a magnificent horse, running freely on the grassland.
They originally wanted to make it in a three-dimensional style.
However, his skills were not up to par.
We had to settle for second best, but fortunately the painting was exquisite and the colors were natural.
Under Sheng Lingwei's guidance, everyone sang a birthday song, expressed their blessings to Jing Qingyun, and finally ate a sweet and soft cake.
The carefully prepared birthday banquet came to a pleasant end.
Because time is different in this space than outside, Sheng Lingwei did not take everyone out immediately; everyone stayed in the space for the time being.
Suppressing his excitement and ignoring everyone's gaze, Zheng Yishu quickly stood up and pulled Rong Momo to a secluded spot.
