Chapter 178 are all Mao Mao's friends
Mao Mao was held by Lou Dashuai and greeted everyone, obediently calling out to all the uncles and elders.
It was the first time she had ever seen so many people. Although she wasn't shy, she eventually felt dizzy from recognizing so many people.
After showing off his daughter to his friends with satisfaction, Lou Dashuai generously let her go, carried her to the dessert table, and gave her a small cake.
With the sweet and fragrant little cakes, Mao Mao was immediately happy. She sat obediently in her father's lap and scooped out the sweet cream with her little spoon.
Only when she was focused on eating her cake could Lou Dashuai ask her about serious matters.
"Mao Mao, why did you send an invitation to Nie Zhengyun as well?"
As Mao Mao ate her cake, her chubby cheeks puffed out, and she mumbled, "Uncle is Mao Mao's friend."
"..."
"Auntie said we need to send out invitations to friends for the banquet," Mao Mao said happily. "So, I sent invitations to my sister and uncle!"
Mao Mao only has a few friends, and she hasn't missed a single one!
Lou Dashuai said indignantly, "Fine, let's say he's... let's say he's your friend. But what about Shen Zhaolin?"
Mao Mao swung her little feet and said matter-of-factly, "Uncle Chen is also Mao Mao's friend."
When did you two become so close?
"Hello, Uncle Shen."
"What's so good about him?!"
"Mao Mao gave him chocolate." Mao Mao nodded her little head: "Brother is happy too."
These two sentences seem completely unrelated.
At least Lou Dashuai was completely confused.
But the first wife, who had just walked towards the father and daughter, immediately understood.
Mao Mao gave Shen Zhaolin chocolate and asked him to take care of her brother. During this time, Asui also praised Teacher Shen highly and was happy to go to school every day.
In Mao Mao's little mind, this meant that Uncle Shen, who accepted her chocolate, kept his word and took good care of her brother. If her brother was happy, Mao Mao was happy!
A child's way of making friends is very simple: as long as they like each other, they can become friends.
The first wife walked over with a smile and took her youngest daughter from the arms of the commander.
"Mao Mao, let's go play over there." The first wife said, "Your father is really something, how could he take a child like you to a social event?"
General Lou glared angrily at his first wife: "I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've already shown up. Why didn't you tell me that Mao Mao invited those two?!"
"Please invite them if you like. This is Mao Mao's birthday party, not yours," the First Madam said. "At worst, when you hold your birthday party, you won't invite them."
Commander Lou: "..."
Whose birthday party is this?
He never intended to invite those two people!
General Lou wanted to question him further, but when his first wife gave him a gentle look, he had no choice but to swallow his words: "I really can't reason with you."
He picked up a glass of wine from the side and took a big gulp.
It's infuriating!
From afar, Lou Wenshan saw Nie Zhengyun walking in this direction, his purpose clear. He quickly picked up his wine glass and went to greet him.
Soon, the person was stopped halfway and forced to exchange pleasantries.
The first wife glanced helplessly in the direction of the two men; even from a distance, she could almost smell the gunpowder.
She looked down at her youngest daughter, who was obediently scooping cake with a small spoon, and asked gently, "Mao Mao, your brothers are over there. Do you want to go dance with them?"
"No." Mao Mao shook her head.
"What's wrong?" The First Madam gently touched her hair bun. "Do you not want to dance with your brother, or do you not want to dance at all?"
"Mao Mao is not dancing anymore."
She leaned her small body against the First Madam, nestling softly against her, her chubby little face revealing a layer of soft, milky flesh: "Tired."
The first wife chuckled.
Although their little girl is outgoing and generous, she was still tired after being taken over for a social interaction.
The first wife carried her to a nearby chair and sat down next to her, saying, "Let's sit here and wait for Mao Mao to rest before we go play."
"Um!"
Mao Mao shifted her position, leaning against the First Madam, and happily continued eating her little cake.
While eating, she kept her eyes sparkling as she looked at the birthday cake not far away.
It was as big as a round table and several tiers high, each tier covered with snow-white cream and brightly colored fruit, decorated with cream frosting.
It's Mao Mao's birthday cake!
Mother said that when the time comes, Mao Mao can cut it open herself and then eat it.
Just thinking about it made her little feet, which were dangling in mid-air, swing happily.
After she finished the small cake in her hand, the First Madam wiped the cream from her mouth and asked, "Mao Mao, would you like to eat something else?"
Mao Mao shook her head, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Mao Mao wants to eat a big cake later."
The first wife smiled.
"Shall we go dancing now?"
Mao Mao thought for a moment and said, "Let's rest for a while longer."
"good."
The invited Western orchestra had already played the dance music from the pre-arranged program, and people in the hall had already begun to dance.
The most eye-catching person on the dance floor was the third young master of the Lou family. At this moment, his suit jacket was nowhere to be seen, and two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a small part of his chest. He looked dashing and unrestrained, and was dancing with a young lady from a certain family. His peach blossom eyes were flirting wildly, almost blinking out real peach blossoms.
He stole the spotlight from all the other young masters on the dance floor, while the other young masters of the Lou family who could rival him stayed far away and did not participate.
Mao Mao naturally noticed the older brother on the dance floor, who was so eye-catching.
As she watched, her toes in her little leather shoes started to wiggle, and her eyes sparkled.
Mao Mao turned her little head and said, "Big Mommy."
The first wife replied, "What?"
"Mao Mao thinks..."
Before they could finish speaking, a heavy footstep stopped beside them, accompanied by a heavy sigh. Zhang Weihai sat down a few chairs away in the seat next to them.
The two turned around at the sound.
"Chairman Zhang." The first wife nodded to him and greeted him.
Zhang Weihai took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Mrs. Lou."
Mao Mao greeted him obediently, "Uncle."
"Oh, and you too, Miss Lou." Zhang Weihai forced a kind smile: "Happy birthday today."
"Chairman Zhang, do you look unwell?" the first wife asked with concern.
Zhang Weihai waved his hand: "It's nothing, I've just been too busy lately, I'll just rest here for a bit."
Mao Mao stared at him without blinking.
When Zhang Weihai came today, he looked exhausted.
The banquet had been going on for a while, but his complexion worsened. His face was now pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips were slightly purple. He was already overweight, and now even his breathing was a little rapid.
Zhang Weihai looked at the four Lou brothers not far away. Apart from the third young master Lou in the dance floor, the other three young masters were standing together talking.
Although I couldn't hear what they were saying, I could tell from a distance that they were having a very pleasant conversation.
Zhang Weihai said enviously, "The young masters in the General's family seem to have a really good relationship."
"Yes, they've always had a good relationship."
"The Lou family really knows how to raise children, unlike my family..."
As he spoke, he let out another heavy sigh.
The first wife smiled and said, "President Zhang, there's no need to be modest. I've heard that Miss Zhang's business is growing bigger and bigger, and is thriving. She has the same style as you did back then."
Zhang Weihai shook his head with a wry smile.
His eldest daughter was outstanding, but his other children were good for nothing.
These days, he's been extremely busy, partly because he's been cleaning up messes for other children.
Since the eldest son of the Zhang family was executed, Zhang Jingshu abandoned the family business and ran away with her younger brother. As a result, the other young masters and ladies of the Zhang family also became ambitious and wanted to make money for themselves. During this period, the Zhang family was in chaos, which gave even their own father a headache.
As the two were talking, suddenly, a thud came from the side.
It was Mao Mao who jumped off the seat.
Before the two could react, her little leather shoes clicked across the cold floor tiles, and she ran off into the distance.
The first wife was stunned: "Mao Mao?"
Why did they run off without saying goodbye?
