Li Ermei originally thought that Ye Qin would prepare a decent gift so that she could save some face in front of her family. Unexpectedly, what she brought out was such a worthless rag. Li Ermei's face instantly turned ugly, and she glared at Ye Qin fiercely.
That look seemed to say, 'Just wait for me'.
"Okay, after all, it's Xiaoqin's gift. The thought is great, and the child doesn't have much money." Li Damei said something to "ease" the atmosphere, but it made Li Ermei feel even more embarrassed.
Since childhood, Li Ermei always wanted to prove that she was better than Li Damei, but she lost every time. This time, she thought she was well prepared and could beat Li Damei, but the result was still the same.
It’s all because of that girl Ye Qin!
Thinking of this, Li Ermei glared at Ye Qin fiercely again.
That look scared even Ye Xin, who was standing next to Ye Qin. If that look was glaring at her, she would probably cry out of fear.
However, Ye Qin still looked nonchalant, as if the person the other person was staring at wasn't her.
Once again, Ye Xin was impressed by Ye Qin's strong ability to withstand pressure.
Mr. Li celebrated his birthday in a nearby restaurant. Li Guoyue booked a few tables in the lobby and invited all of Li's family and friends to attend. Mr. Li used to be a teacher, and several of his former proud students would also be attending today.
Li Ermei's family had just arrived and had not been seated for a while when they were assigned by Old Lady Li to go to the restaurant to set up the restaurant.
Because they had to bring their own alcohol, cigarettes, etc., Mrs. Li was worried about the waiters in the hotel, fearing that they might steal them. She could only feel at ease if she arranged for her family members to arrange for them.
Li Damei and Li Guoyue's wife said they would go to help, but they just sat there chatting with the old lady and had no intention of getting up.
Li Ermei waited foolishly at the door for a while, and finally had to leave with a gloomy face.
After Li Ermei had finished, Li Damei finally arrived, holding Li Guoyue's wife's hand. Seeing that the work was done, she just smiled and said, "Second sister is really quick and efficient. The work was done before we even arrived."
"That's right, my second sister has always been hardworking." Li Guoyue's wife agreed.
Li Ermei frowned and ignored the two people.
As the time to notify relatives and friends to arrive approached, Li Damei sat at the door, smiling and acting like the eldest daughter, responsible for registering and receiving red envelopes from the relatives and friends who were present.
Many of Lin Dachuan's subordinates and friends who were slightly prominent came to the scene. When Mrs. Li and Mr. Li saw these people, they were so happy and proud that they liked their son-in-law Lin Dachuan more and more.
On the contrary, Ye Changhai, who had been diligently greeting customers and busy carrying things, did not have a good face.
Birthday celebrations for ordinary families are very simple. After the guests arrive and pay their contributions, they find a place to sit, chat and eat.
Li Guoyue arranged Lin Dachuan's prominent friends and Mr. Li's students at the main table, so there was not enough space left at the main table.
As a result, Li Ermei's family was immediately assigned to a different table, along with the Li family's poor relatives who looked down upon them. Almost as soon as the food arrived, these relatives began to grab food from their bowls, some even pulling out plastic bags and filling them as they ate, claiming they were feeding the dog.
Li Ermei lost her appetite when she saw these people and couldn't eat anything.
