The birthday party was supposed to start at 11:30, but it was only 11:00, and the banquet hall was already packed with people.
Su Manman wore a white Peter Pan collar shirt and a pink pleated skirt with a bow on the skirt, and a pink diamond in the middle of the bow.
Her long hair was styled in a bun on top of her head, adorned with a black veil bow, giving her a pure and lovely look while highlighting her sweet style.
Su Manman carried her tray and walked past the extended dining table, taking food as she went.
The plate contains pudding, small cakes, pizza, egg tarts, veal steaks, and more.
She walked to a sofa in the corner, sat down, and ate her food in silence.
[I'm starving! It took me an hour to do such a simple makeup look, so troublesome!]
Just then, a glass of juice suddenly appeared on the table in front of them.
"Beautiful lady, I noticed you didn't bring any drinks, so I brought you a glass of orange juice. I hope you'll accept it!"
Su Manman looked up at the person who had come in. The man had an oval face and phoenix eyes, and his smile was polite but distant.
What's going on? Why does this person seem so strange?!
Su Manman's gaze fell on his clothes, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed that the man was wearing a waiter's uniform.
[Oh, it's a waiter! I didn't expect the hotel service to be so attentive!]
Su Manman nodded and spoke softly.
"Thank you, please put it here!"
Jiang Shangyu put down the orange juice, a smug look flashing in his eyes, and then quickly fled.
Su Manman had just finished eating a small steak when she saw Fu Yanzhu arrive, and she excitedly waved to him.
"Fu Yanzhu, I'm here! Cough cough!!"
The veal steak had a lot of pepper on it, making it spicy. Su Manman accidentally choked on it when she spoke.
Fu Yanzhu quickly came to Su Manman's side, took the orange juice from the table and handed it to her.
"Don't talk! Drink your juice first!!"
Su Manman drank half a glass of juice in one go before she felt a little better. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a burning sensation in her chest.
Su Manman covered her chest with her hand, her eyes turning cold.
[Damn it! Someone actually tried to steal my luck!!]
Luckily I had a lucky charm, otherwise I wouldn't even know I'd been affected!!
Su Manman's gaze fell on the juice she had drunk, and she suddenly remembered the waiter who had made her feel strange!
[Birthday party, waiter... Could that have been the male lead, Jiang Shangyu?!]
Fu Yanzhu froze upon hearing Su Manman's thoughts. Could it be that someone here possessed witchcraft?
"Manman, what's wrong?"
Su Manman took out a pendant from her clothes; it was a triangular yellow talisman.
"This is a lucky charm I obtained from a Taoist temple. It can not only increase my luck, but also prevent others from stealing my luck."
"The talisman paper was originally ginger yellow, and the cinnabar runes on it were deep red, but now the colors have faded, which means that someone attacked me and suffered a backlash."
Fu Yanzhu looked at the talisman and then helped Su Manman put it back into her clothes.
"Manman, take this with you. There's a valley country in the southeast where witchcraft is prevalent, and unusual things can indeed happen there!"
Su Manman was somewhat surprised. Shouldn't a normal person suspect that she was lying when they heard her say that?
Why did Fu Yanzhu believe it so easily? Had he experienced something similar before?!
Fu Yanzhu's eyes darkened as he looked at the remaining half-glass of orange juice. It was clear that drinking orange juice was the cause of this situation, and there was something seriously wrong with it!
"Manman, they steal people's luck and you have to exchange something for it. Did you get the orange juice you were drinking yourself?"
Su Manman shook her head and said with certainty.
"No, it was a waiter named Jiang Shangyu who gave it to me. He has an effeminate appearance and gives people a very strange feeling!"
Fu Yanzhu's eyes were dark as he silently memorized the name Jiang Shangyu!
At the same time, as Jiang Shangyu walked out of the banquet hall, he suddenly clutched his chest, trying to suppress the waves of pain that were shooting through his heart.
His face was pale, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.
He rushed to the bathroom, locked himself in the toilet stall, and then vomited a large amount of blood!
Jiang Shangyu lay on the toilet, his eyes gloomy. He hadn't expected to run into a tough opponent today!
No wonder that girl had such great luck; she was protected by a treasure!
At 11:30, Huo Qingyu walked to the center of the stage. She was wearing a dark purple embroidered cheongsam and looked gentle and elegant.
"Thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday party. As you all know, I was separated from my daughter for eighteen years, and I only found her again this year. This is also the first birthday party I've ever held for her!"
"My daughter Su Manman and my adopted daughter Su Yixin both have their birthdays on August 9th. Today is their 19th birthday!"
“My adopted daughter has been with me for the past nineteen years. As everyone knows, our family loves her very much. I, Huo Qingyu, have given her eighteen years of maternal love. So this year, I want to give my Manman a special birthday!”
After Huo Qingyu finished speaking, she clapped her hands twice.
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, and 19 waiters appeared in the hall pushing cakes of different shapes.
The first cake has one candle, the second cake has two candles, and so on, until the nineteenth cake appears!
Everyone started singing "Happy Birthday"!
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!!
Moved, Su Manman hugged Huo Qingyu and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, beautiful mom! I love this birthday!!"
Su Yixin walked over at some point and gave Huo Qingyu a fawning smile.
"Mom, this birthday is really special! It shows you really put your heart into it, unlike before!!"
[What's with Su Yixin's sarcastic remarks?! She's already received 18 years of pampering from her whole family and she's still not satisfied!!]
Su Manman glared at Su Yixin with displeasure, finding her particularly annoying!
Huo Qingyu smiled calmly, but her words were incisive!
"Xin Xin, I treated you like my own daughter when you were in the Su family! When you were one year old, I gave you an apartment! When you were two, I gave you a pigeon egg as a toy. When you were five, you wanted to learn piano, so I hired a piano teacher for you with an annual salary of 80 million!"
"What happened before? Haven't I, Huo Qingyu, treated you well?! I've been completely honest with you, and I've never wronged you, have I?!"
"It's definitely not like before; anything I give you now is more expensive than these 19 cakes!"
Su Yixin was speechless and momentarily flustered.
"Mom, I didn't mean anything by it, don't be angry! I'm just a little jealous, I'm just envious that Manman has so many cakes!!"
The people in the banquet hall were whispering among themselves.
"If you ask me, Huo Qingyu is really generous. She knows that Su Yixin is not her biological daughter, but she is still so good to her!"
"That's right, what a thankless child! They only treat their own daughter a little nicely and then they become sarcastic and mean!"
"Huo Qingyu is too soft-hearted. If my adopted daughter said that, I would definitely slap her across the face!"
Huo Qingyu glanced at Su Yixin with a cold look in her eyes and called out to her indifferently.
"Attorney Chen! Bring me what I asked for!"
