Jiang Xiaorou's appearance undoubtedly added a new element to the birthday party tonight, and everyone was staring at her. Most people present knew that Jiang Xiaorou had not appeared since she disappeared five years ago.
The Jiang family didn't give any explanation, just saying that she went abroad for further studies. How could anyone believe it if they were not fools? And now, Jiang Xiaorou came back on her birthday party, looking unruly and not kind.
"Why are you back?" Jiang Yufei was surprised.
She didn't want Jiang Xiaorou to come back for the birthday party, so she deliberately did something and didn't send Jiang Xiaorou an invitation. She thought Jiang Xiaorou would think her father didn't need her to come back because of the lack of an invitation. In this way, Jiang Yufei would naturally be the center of attention tonight.
"Why can't I come back? It's my father's 50th birthday, such an important day. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, if I can't make it back, I would be so sorry for the old man's upbringing, right?" Jiang Xiaorou smiled naturally.
As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Yancheng. He was surprised. It must be because Jiang Xiaorou was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and Jiang Yufei and Jiang Xiaorou didn't mention it at the auction. Shen Yancheng was surprised by this.
"We are all naturally happy that Xiaorou is back. Come and sit down! Don't stand." The stepmother immediately jumped out to act as a peacemaker.
In such an occasion, no trouble can be caused. The stepmother is a smart person. She knows that Jiang Xiaorou came with bad intentions today. Seeing that the birthday party is about to end, it is the most inappropriate time to make a mistake.
Jiang Xiaorou walked over with a smile and stood in front of her father.
"Happy birthday, Dad." Jiang Xiaorou bowed to express her gratitude to her father for raising her.
As Miss Jiang, Jiang Xiaorou felt guilty for not helping with any family matters over the years, and she knew that her father always had high hopes for her.
"Get up quickly! Why don't you come back earlier?" The father was very happy to see his daughter.
Jiang Xiaorou stood up and sat next to her father. This was a real father and daughter. Jiang Xiaorou leaned on her father's shoulder, very gently.
"Sister, today is Dad's 50th birthday. You disappeared for five years and finally came back. Are you going to just say happy birthday to him today? How come you didn't even bring a decent birthday present? Isn't this not good?" Jiang Yufei made up a story out of thin air.
She just couldn't stand Jiang Xiaorou's attitude like Miss Jiang. She had been extremely proud since she was a child and didn't take anyone seriously.
Jiang Yufei was clearly the star of the show tonight, having spent a whopping 150 million yuan on her father's birthday gift. But Jiang Xiaorou's return, and her happy birthday, made up for Jiang Yufei's expensive gift.
Why? Jiang Yufei was not convinced.
"Who said that gifts are necessary for birthdays? Does Dad need this little thing from me? Can't you see that Dad will be happier to see me back than any better gift I give him? Don't you think so, Dad?" Jiang Xiaorou held her father's arm and was so obedient, rubbing her little head against his.
"We are all family, so let's not talk about those things. It's a good thing that Xiaorou can come back." Jiang Zhiguo smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close.
"That's true! But it always feels weird that sister didn't give a gift. After all, everyone who came tonight gave a gift. Could it be that sister can't afford it? This makes me very curious. What have you been doing since you disappeared for five years?" Jiang Yufei continued.
She should have stopped talking about it. Her father had made it very clear, so she shouldn't bring it up again. But Jiang Yufei refused to do so. She couldn't let her 150 million go to waste, and she couldn't let Jiang Xiaorou overshadow her.
"Yes, yes, Miss Yufei is right. No matter what, today is Mr. Jiang's birthday party. Look at how grand it is. Miss Jiang has been missing for five years. Let's not talk about where she went. Now that she's back today, she can't even come up with a decent birthday present. Isn't that a bit outrageous?"
"That's right. Mr. Jiang has always been concerned about his reputation. Even though he says he's fine on the surface, I'm afraid he's feeling uncomfortable inside!"
"What happened to Miss Jiang during the five years she disappeared? Why has the Jiang family never mentioned this matter? Is there some hidden secret?"
For a moment, everyone was talking about Jiang Xiaorou. Because of Jiang Yufei's aggressiveness, Jiang Xiaorou became the target of public criticism, and everyone's words revolved around her.
Jiang Xiaorou smiled. This was the pressure of public opinion. As long as one person said something bad about her, countless people would immediately jump out to speculate about her various behaviors, and even distort the truth beyond recognition.
They can even ignore the truth and make irresponsible analyses at will.
"Okay, okay, very good." Jiang Xiaorou stood up, clapped her hands and walked to Jiang Yufei: "Sister, your motivation is still as strong as ever. I admire you very much!"
"Am I wrong? We are both my father's daughters. I spent 150 million to buy a birthday present for my father, but my sister went home empty-handed. Isn't this embarrassing for my father? You don't care what others say about the Jiang family, but I do." Jiang Yufei said confidently.
After she finished speaking, she looked proudly at the jade screen on the table. Her pride was simply amazing.
"Is this the thing you're referring to? A jade screen worth 150 million?" Jiang Xiaorou pointed with a look of contempt on her face.
Of course she knew the value of this thing. Jiang Xiaorou also went to the auction, so how could she not know?
Jiang Yufei nodded. "I don't mean to show off. This is just a token of my love for Dad. I hope he stays healthy and lives a long life, just like this jade screen, which has weathered countless battles and still stands tall before us."
