Chen Chen, wearing an indigo cheongsam, walked slowly to Chen Tong with a smile on her face.
"Good evening, my dear sister, I'm here to join in the fun."
Chen Tong was shocked. Chen Chen was clearly not invited, so why did he come uninvited?
She subconsciously went to look for Xiao Yun, only to see Xiao Yun looking at her with surprise and about to walk over here.
So he quickly pulled Chen Jian to the backyard and blocked Xiao Yun back.
Seeing this, Xiao Siyun also pushed Li Tianqing and said, "Qingqing, it's up to you now. Go up and see."
Li Tianqing received the mission and took action immediately.
In the courtyard, Chen Tong dragged Chen Xun to a deserted corner.
"Why so rude, sister?"
"Aren't you glad to see me here?"
"Your good daughter invited me here tonight."
Chen Tong's face was serious. Wherever Chen Tong was, there would be trouble.
"Stop it, and leave right now."
"But I prepared a generous gift for your daughter today. It would be a shame to leave now."
"What are you planning to do?"
"Of course, let's add some fun to this birthday party, haha."
Chen Chen smiled like a fox, covering his mouth with his hands. It was obvious from the moment he heard it that it was not a serious gift.
Chen Tong warned her, "I don't care what you want to do, this is the Xiao family, you'd better restrain yourself!"
Chen Chu laughed and said:
"Don't worry, dear sister, I won't let you suffer any loss."
"I'll get back all the grievances you've suffered over the years tonight. How about that?"
Chen Tong's eyes widened and her scalp felt tingling. She knew that Chen Yu had bad intentions.
"I don't need you to be hypocritical here. Your absence is already the greatest gift."
"There's still time before it officially starts, get out of here now!"
Chen Xun ordered them to leave without any hesitation.
"Don't you want to know what gift I'm going to give you?"
"There are so many wealthy families here tonight. Oh, Lawyer Li is here too."
"Tell me, if they knew Xiao Yun's true identity, how much would they talk about after dinner?"
Chen Tong's expression suddenly changed, "You, you don't mean to..."
"What? Are you scared?"
"It's right to be afraid, dear sister."
"Be polite to me, otherwise, what if I get upset and let something slip?"
Chen Xuan said threatening words to her with a smile, then walked away gracefully and went into the house.
Li Tianqing, who was hiding in the dark, dodged to the side, thinking that the two people were playing charades and he couldn't hear any useful information.
But after Chen Tong left, she glanced at the backyard again and saw a figure flashing past from behind the tree.
Li Tianqing looked at it a few more times in confusion, but there was no movement there.
Maybe a wild cat?
Si Yun often posts pictures of the little wild cats near her home on her Moments.
Sure enough, just after Li Tianqing turned and left, a kitten jumped down from the darkness.
But then, He Yang couldn't help but jump out from behind the tree, brushing off the cat hair and dust on his body.
"Brother, do we have to climb the wall? Can't we just go through the main door?"
"You don't want Xiao Yingzhi to know, right?"
He Yang's mouth twitched, "I just said I wanted to watch the show, but you really know how to take advantage of me."
"Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking. Brother, don't you just want to see the young lady?"
Zhou Ling's thoughts were exposed, but he was too lazy to argue with him, "The lights are off inside, come quickly!"
The lights in the living room went out and the Happy Birthday song started playing.
A three-layer cake with lit candles was placed on a small cart and slowly pushed out.
Xiao Yun stood in front of the cake, facing the candlelight, which illuminated her shy face.
But Li Tianqing leaned over to Xiao Siyun's ear and chuckled, "That's it? It's meaningless."
“Maybe the ordinary is the real thing?”
"Why make such a big fuss? I'm speechless."
In fact, it wasn't just Li Tianqing. Many people around took advantage of the lights being turned off and the music covering up the noise to start complaining.
"So boring! I haven't liked these kinds of activities since I was 13. Wouldn't it be fun to just go out and play on your own?"
"Does anyone really care who's the star of the evening party at this kind of event? My dad just wants to talk business."
"My mom said if I wanted to have a party at home and keep her busy all night, she would kick me out!"
"Xiao Siyun couldn't do anything, and she, a burden, made such a big fuss. She doesn't really think she's a little princess, does she?"
"It's not the weekend, and I have to spend hours here in high heels after work. I'm really sleepy, ah~"
"The weekends are even more annoying. I'd rather sleep at home."
Xiao Siyun listened to the whispers around him and thought, she said it, there is no point in holding this kind of birthday party.
It's nothing more than a group of uncles coming to discuss business, aunts coming to exchange a few words, and sons and daughters from certain families coming to go through the motions out of courtesy.
But having said that, Xiao Yun seemed to be enjoying it.
Xiao Yun enjoyed the feeling of standing in the center and being watched, which left her no time to listen to the gossip around her.
Close your eyes, make a wish, blow out the candles, and cut the cake.
Accompanied by the clicking sound of cameras, Xiao Yun was immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Then the lights came on, and Chen Tong stood up and gave a speech on behalf of Xiao Yun.
"Thank you all for coming to my daughter's eighteenth birthday party."
"Eighteen years old is a very important milestone in life..."
Chen Tong talked freely, and Xiao Yun stood beside her obediently with a smile on her face, listening quietly.
But Xiao Siyun always felt that this scene was very strange.
