Meng Tao remembered that Yan Baozhi had asked her to bring her baby over the phone. Xiao Yunhai was so adorable and was the little guest she had invited. There was a special playroom for babies and she had also invited a few more little guests to keep Xiao Yunhai company.
However, Shen Heping disagreed with her taking the baby out, and Xu Zhen waved her hands and shook her head, firmly opposing it.
Meng Tao actually didn't want to take the baby with her. Even if there was a special room for adults in a gathering, it was not suitable for a baby. When her parents-in-law didn't agree, it just gave her an excuse.
After feeding Xiao Yunhai, she washed and changed her clothes, a fashionable white shirt with a royal blue pleated skirt, and half-high-heeled soft-soled leather shoes. Because she didn't wear makeup during breastfeeding, she didn't need to -
She has delicate features and a very good complexion. Her figure changed a lot after she became pregnant and gave birth. She looks like a ripe peach, with delicate and moist skin, and a face that is so rosy and tender that it seems as if it could be blown away. She is as beautiful as a lotus born in clear water, naturally without any embellishment. She is so bright and beautiful that she seems to glow. Makeup would only cover up her beauty.
Xu Liwen whistled and patted Meng Tao's butt. Meng Tao didn't expect her to do this. She jumped away quickly and glared at her: "Female hooligan!"
Xu Liwen laughed: "It feels really good! Cousin, I have seen countless men, and you are one of the few beauties who can make my heart flutter. Staying at home and having children is really a waste of time. How about you come to work for me, Taotao? I promise that I will let you play the leading role in all the movies I make!"
"Thank you, Shen Yu won't agree to it."
Being an actor is not easy. You have to rely on your acting skills and follow the crew everywhere. I guess you'll be like Xu San's cousin, who can only stay at home for a few days a year. It would be strange if Shen Yu would agree to it. Meng Tao also can't bear to leave her husband and children, so she can't eat that bowl of rice.
"You are the master of your own life. Just do what you like. Why listen to Shen Yu? Shen Yu was okay when he was young, but now he has become an old antique. He is so boring!"
Xu Liwen waved her hands and chattered, but the word "old antique" irritated someone.
Xu Mingni said to her sister: "How can antiques be boring? Do you know the value of antiques? Every time I carefully dig out an antique from the soil, do you know how happy and excited I feel? Just like you found that Taotao took off her ugly cotton home clothes and suddenly became as beautiful as a fairy, antiques will also glow with charming brilliance after removing the dust from the dirt. That's..."
Meng Tao couldn't listen any longer: "My home clothes are not ugly at all, okay? I bought them at the Friendship Store's counter. The quantity is limited, and many people are scrambling to buy them. They are loose and comfortable, and perfect for taking care of children at home! Also, please don't compare me with unearthed antiques!"
So ugly.
Xu Liwen was also speechless because of Xu Mingni, and rolled her eyes at her: "Don't scare Taotao, do you think everyone is like you, so excited about digging an ancient tomb that you want to crawl into the coffin to feel it."
"Oh, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Sorry Taotao, let's go quickly!" Xu Mingni came up and pulled Meng Tao out.
Meng Tao felt upset and began to understand Shen Yu a little. This cousin was really not someone that ordinary people could tolerate.
Taking the prepared gifts, the two cousins saw that the pink brocade handbag with flowing combs that Meng Tao was holding was very beautiful, and there were two exquisite boxes inside, which looked festive and classy, so they put the gifts they had prepared in it as well. Judging from the packaging, they were lipstick and perfume, and the skin care products that Meng Tao gave were just the right match.
When the three of them arrived at Yan's house, Yan Baozhi ran out to greet them and said with a smile that she had been waiting for them and that almost all the invited guests had arrived.
Meng Tao handed her the small bag and said it was a gift from the three sisters, wishing her a happy birthday. Yan Baozhi happily thanked her three sisters repeatedly.
From a distance, Yan Xinhua was also coming over to say hello with a smile on his face. When he saw Xu Liwen and Xu Mingni, he staggered and his smile froze for two seconds.
Meng Tao thought of what Shen Yu said, that Yan Xinhua was beaten up by several cousins of the Xu family and was scared. She couldn't help laughing and waited to see him sneak back, but after a brief pause, he still came over bravely.
Meng Tao smiled and said, "The baby fell asleep when we came. His grandparents were worried that he wouldn't sleep well, so they didn't let us take him. Let's do it next time."
"Okay, I'll go visit him at home when I'm free."
"Okay. Are Xia Moli, Han Dongdong and the others here too?"
"They're all here, having fun on the dance floor, practicing their dance steps - there's a dance today."
"Really? That's really fun, but I can't dance. I'll just watch you guys dance from the side."
"Hey, it's very easy. Jasmine, Dongdong and I will each teach you once, and I guarantee that you will learn it. We are going to see grandma now. Grandma said that when you come, please go to her place. She wants to talk to you."
"OK."
Yan Baozhi also told Meng Tao: "Dou Nannan is on a business trip and can't join in the fun today."
"Yeah, that's a pity."
Dou Nannan went on a business trip with the negotiation team, and this time she did not go to Gangcheng, but went directly abroad.
Shen Yu had told Meng Tao about this, so he had to work overtime these days. He didn't go to the negotiations in person, and he was very busy directing and making decisions in the rear.
A few people walked in. The Yan Mansion was also a quadrangle courtyard, but it was a combination of Chinese and Western styles. There was a Chinese courtyard in the front and a three-story villa in the middle. According to Yan Baozhi, there was another Chinese courtyard in the back. From this point of view, the Yan Mansion seemed to occupy a larger area than the Xu Mansion.
There are some flower trees and fruit trees planted in the yard, all of which have been deliberately decorated. Electric wires have been pulled out and lights are hung on them. I guess today will be a party until late at night.
Yan Baozhi's birthday party was different from that of the Dou sisters. The Dou family used the birthday party to thank relatives and friends for their concern for Mr. Dou, so the guests invited were of all ages.
Today, all the guests invited to the Yan Mansion are young people, so it can be said to be a gathering of young people in the true sense.
Meng Tao saw that there were many guests along the way, with elegant clothes and laughter, mixed with relaxing and soft music, the atmosphere was leisurely and cheerful.
After chatting with Grandma Yan and Mother Yan in the backyard for a while and drinking a cup of tea, Yan Baozhi hurriedly pulled them to the front yard: We have to be anxious, today's quiet program is rich and colorful, and it takes time to unfold each one.
Yan Baozhi was the birthday girl and the main character today, so she had to greet every guest and was so busy that she couldn't handle everything. Meng Tao and her two cousins did not follow her. While she was talking to others, the three of them sat down at a small tea table where no one was, intending to take a break before talking.
The two cousins Xu were so charming that within two minutes of sitting down, they attracted five young people, two men and three women, who gathered around the table. The women's target was Director Xu, and the men were probably college students, looking for Professor Xu to answer questions. Meng Tao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and slowly ate them while watching the two cousins interacting with fans in high spirits.
