January marked Yang Yajing's birthday.
In her previous life, Jiang Xuanxuan organized a birthday party for her. In this life, she doesn't want to change this storyline too much.
However, her relationship with Jiang Xuanxuan in this life is not quite the same as in the previous life. How can she get her involved?
Three days before her birthday, when Chen Jiaoyun came to see Yang Yajing, she deliberately chatted near Jiang Xuanxuan.
"Hey girl! It's almost your birthday?" Chen Jiaoyun asked with a smile. "Any plans?"
"It's just a small birthday celebration, nothing big planned. We can just go to the shop for a cake and have a little get-together, right?" Yang Yajing said nonchalantly, but she was actually saying it to Jiang Xuanxuan.
"Oh! Yangyang's birthday is coming up! How can a birthday be celebrated so casually?" Jiang Xuanxuan indeed came over.
"I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't made any preparations. It's just a small birthday celebration anyway," Yang Yajing said with a smile.
"Nothing prepared? You mean no restaurant, no cake, no gifts? And no guests invited?" Jiang Xuanxuan seemed very enthusiastic.
"We have cakes at the cake shop, but we didn't prepare anything else. We weren't planning on anything else anyway," Yang Yajing shook her head.
"Yangyang! How can a girl's birthday be celebrated so casually? Birthdays should be celebrated in a grand way!" Jiang Xuanxuan shook her head.
"The day is in two days, if we talk about making it grand now, where am I supposed to find a venue or hire people? Forget it!" Yang Yajing said deliberately, sounding somewhat helpless.
"Yangyang, if you don't mind, let Xuanxuan organize Yangyang's birthday party, right? I guarantee it will be lively, exciting, and high-class!" Jiang Xuanxuan suggested.
"No need, right? It's too much trouble." Yang Yajing politely declined, though she knew she was just putting on an act.
"Is Yang Yang disliking Xuanxuan? Xuanxuan promises that everything is the best!" Jiang Xuanxuan said, sounding aggrieved.
"I don't have the money to do anything too high-end! We recently bought a new house, and all our savings have been wiped out!" Yang Yajing shrugged.
"Xuanxuan is celebrating Yangyang's birthday, how can we let Yangyang pay? It's settled then, Xuanxuan will give Yangyang the restaurant address the day after tomorrow." As if afraid that Yang Yajing would refuse, Jiang Xuanxuan rushed out of the classroom without waiting for Yang Yajing's reply.
"Yang Yajing! You're really letting her do it? Won't something go wrong?" Chen Jiaoyun glanced at the door, somewhat uncertain.
"There will definitely be some unexpected troubles... that's for sure." Yang Yajing smiled and shrugged. "We'll just deal with whatever comes our way, right? Anyway, we still have you, right? You won't let me suffer, will you?"
"That's right! If she dares to cause any trouble, I'll swat her back with a fly swatter!" Chen Jiaoyun proudly raised her little head.
"Let's go! Let's pick out a cake?" Yang Yajing nudged Chen Jiaoyun.
Back at the shop, Yang Yajing asked Zhang Aijia to make a birthday cake, two of them.
"Yang Yajing, you're eating two cakes by yourself? Are you preparing for two birthday parties?" Chen Jiaoyun started to imagine, "Is it because we've finished with Jiang Xuanxuan's party that we'll go to another place?"
Yang Yajing shook her head: "No, it's just to prevent her from causing trouble!"
"Huh? You know what she's going to do?" Chen Jiaoyun asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I can guess a little." Yang Yajing said mysteriously, which made Chen Jiaoyun, who loved gossip and watching drama, even more excited.
On January 12th, Yang Yajing, Chen Jiaoyun, and Zhou Pengfei went to the restaurant booked by Jiang Xuanxuan for dinner at 6 pm sharp.
This is a small private room in a five-star hotel.
"Wow! She's a nouveau riche after all! She managed to get this place sorted out in just two days?" Chen Jiaoyun commented.
"The location is nice, but it's not easy to get in." Yang Yajing smiled slightly as she looked at the magnificent skyscrapers.
"What does she mean?" Chen Jiaoyun looked at Zhou Pengfei, who also made a gesture of not knowing.
"Let's go in. You'll see when we get to the lobby." Yang Yajing gestured for Chen Jiaoyun to go in first.
"Little girl... little girl!" The receptionist saw Chen Jiaoyun walking towards the inner hall and quickly called out to her, "You can't run around here. Where are your parents?"
"Parents? What parents? We booked a private room here for a birthday party!" Chen Jiaoyun didn't understand why the receptionist wanted to see her parents.
"Oh! You booked a private room? May I ask who made the reservation? I can have someone show you in." The receptionist then opened the logbook.
"Oh! Jiang Xuanxuan booked it," Chen Jiaoyun said to the receptionist.
The receptionist flipped through several pages but couldn't find any record. He looked puzzled and said, "Isn't it cute when a child lies? There's no guest named Jiang Xuanxuan who has booked a private room here."
"No? How could that be?" Chen Jiaoyun looked at Yang Yajing at this moment.
Yang Yajing had a look on her face that said, "Didn't I tell you it wouldn't be easy to get in?"
"Little friend, you can't play here. Go home now." The receptionist seemed to be telling them to leave.
Yang Yajing had watched the show for a while before stepping forward and saying, "Hello, my friend probably doesn't know, but this Jiang Xuanxuan is also a child. The person who booked the private room must be her father, Jiang Jucai."
"Jiang Jucai? That Jiang Jucai, the boss of Jiang Family Department Store?" The receptionist recognized the name; he was a regular customer.
"Yes! We're her daughter's classmates, here for her birthday party. Her daughter should be here already, right?" Yang Yajing said with a smile.
"Let me see." The receptionist looked at the brochure again and sure enough, she saw Jiang Jucai's name. "Hmm! Yes! In the Lotus Hall."
The receptionist had someone lead them to the door of the private room. Just as they were about to knock, Yang Yajing stopped them: "Don't knock yet, let's go in ourselves in a bit?"
This is the VIP room. Since the guest said to wait a moment, the waiter left to attend to his own business.
"You..." Chen Jiaoyun was about to speak when Yang Yajing stopped her with a "shh".
"What's wrong?" Chen Jiaoyun asked softly.
"Don't go in yet. Let's wait in the small hall for 15 minutes. Also, Zhou Pengfei, take off your coat and put it in your bag."
"Yang Yajing, what are you doing?" Chen Jiaoyun was confused.
"You want to see some drama? Just do as I say." Yang Yajing continued to keep them in suspense.
Zhou Pengfei took off his coat, leaving him in only a shirt. The upscale hotel had central heating, so it wasn't cold on this winter day.
After waiting on the sofa outside for 15 minutes, they went to the Lotus Hall. Without knocking, Yang Yajing pushed the door open directly.
"Hey! This is really lively!" Chen Jiaoyun looked at the scene inside and chuckled. "What? The birthday person hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already celebrating?"
Inside the private room, a large round table was set with various cold dishes, and Jiang Xuanxuan sat in the main seat at the back.
Beside them were Jin Yiyi and Pang Yan, and a few unfamiliar boys, who seemed to be friends of the two little followers.
On the turntable in front of me, half of the cold dishes had already been eaten, several cans of soda had been opened, and there were still many chicken bones and edamame shells that had been spat out on the table.
A group of people were laughing and joking, playing rock-paper-scissors, seemingly not waiting for anyone.
Upon hearing Chen Jiaoyun's voice, they all seemed surprised, as if the Kesai had pressed the "time stop" button, instantly freezing into silence.
