"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my beloved granddaughter's one-month celebration! We're all old acquaintances, so I won't say much more. I, Wei Lixin, would like to propose a toast to you all."
Mr. Wei, who had finally welcomed his granddaughter, was beaming with joy today, and even the carefully combed strands of his hair revealed his happiness.
Wei Lixin and his wife were in front, and behind them stood what should be Wei's second son and his wife. Wei's father was holding a newborn baby in his arms, and his expression was exactly the same as his own father's.
The second son of the Wei family looks a lot like his mother, with big eyes, a round face, and a high nose. He doesn't have the kind of handsome appearance, but he is very pleasing to the eye. His wife, who is standing next to him, also has a round face. The two of them look very well-matched when they stand together.
They look very much like a married couple. It's a good thing the Wei family didn't try to break them up, otherwise it would have been such a pity.
At this moment, someone at the table spoke up: "Now that President Wei's wishes have come true, we should all raise a toast to him."
Mrs. Wei smiled and reached out to her son, "Shao'an, let Mom hold the baby. You and your dad can have a drink with everyone."
Wei Shaoan? Oh! The owner of "Niu Niu".
Wei Shaoan handed the child to his mother and drank a cup with her.
However, probably because the child was still young, he and his wife left with the child after a short stay.
Only Wei Lixin and his wife remained in the hall to greet the guests.
"Shurong, Wenxi, how do you like today's dishes? Do they suit your tastes?"
Ke Shurong remembered that her daughter liked the fish tonight, and said with a smile, "I was just about to ask you, where did you find the chef tonight? It tasted great!"
"You think so too?!" Mrs. Wei, feeling she had found a kindred spirit, smiled broadly as she held up her glass of red wine.
"Jinjiang hired this guy. It's not easy to find one like him. I'll leave you his contact information later. If you need anything done for your family next time, contact him in advance. But you need to make an appointment half a month ahead!"
Ke Shurong hadn't expected hiring a chef to be so troublesome. "What is it? You know my family. We don't have anything to do all at once. I just wanted to invite someone over to cook a meal!"
"Sure, as long as the money's there, they can't back out. I'll send you their contact information later. Wenxi, eat more, you're too thin!"
Sun Yalan patted Ke Shurong on the shoulder and turned to greet other guests.
Ke Shurong exclaimed, "I didn't expect the master to be so sought after! Mom will contact him later to see when is a convenient time."
"Mom, I was just saying it casually. There are so many delicious things, how can we possibly eat them all? Aunt Li's cooking is already very good, why would we need to specially hire someone to come over and cook? Mom, you spoil me too much, that's not good."
Ke Shurong put a piece of food on her daughter's plate and scolded her, "This is called spoiling her. Who spoils their daughter by hiring someone to cook a meal? Look at other families, they all buy bags, cars and houses. You just stay at home all day. Your dad even said that you haven't used the card he gave you in a long time."
"Because I don't lack anything! Mom, don't worry about me. I've taken good care of myself, and I've even gained three pounds recently!"
Xia Wenxi whispered in Ke Shurong's ear.
Xia Wenxi finally realized that not knowing how to spend money is also a kind of trouble; she really felt there was nothing she wanted to buy.
Recently, her biggest expenses, besides eating good food, have been buying pants. Oh, and another expense is hiring a personal trainer to come to her home, but Xia Wenxi hasn't had him come yet.
Studying every day is tiring enough. If she doesn't eat something good and instead goes to the gym, it will make Xia Wenxi lose her desire to study.
"That's because you were too thin before. Three pounds of fat, if you spread it evenly over your body, how much is that? What do you mean by fat?"
Xia Wenxi lowered her head and ate her food silently. Her mother's logic was so strong that she was almost convinced.
As they ate, people got tired of just sitting there and started standing up to socialize.
“Xia Wenxi…”
"What do you need?"
Xia Wenxi had scouted out the best spot in the banquet hall beforehand; this corner was the best, easy to defend and hard to attack! She didn't have any acquaintances to socialize with, and just wanted to sit here quietly for a while, but she didn't expect someone to come to her.
"Feifei" seemed not to understand the "refusal to communicate" message in Xia Wenxi's eyes, and sat down directly on the sofa next to Xia Wenxi.
And then he sighed to himself and said, "Actually, you're right."
"?"
What did I say?
"You ask me if there's nothing else I'm proud of in my life besides blood ties? You're right. After my father remarried, I, his daughter, was just a stranger to him, even though we were related by blood."
Xia Wenxi wanted to scratch her head, but then she remembered her carefully styled hair and put her hand down. "Feifei" continued talking.
“I just overheard you talking to your mother. You just said it was delicious, and your mother went to ask for the chef’s contact information. Your mother, who is not related to you by blood, is much better than my father, who is related to me by blood.”
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but say, "You can't compare them like that. People are different. My mom is good to me because she's a good person. It doesn't matter if she's my biological mother or not."
“You’re right. My dad is the kind of person who wouldn’t have raised me if I weren’t his biological child.”
Xia Wenxi didn't speak because she realized that this "Feifei" didn't actually want to hear anything from her, but simply wanted someone to talk to.
"I'm sorry, but I was a little jealous of you when I said those things today. You were abandoned by your parents at birth, but after being adopted by the Xia family, you have both material wealth and love."
Xia Wenxi really wanted to suggest that she post a video with the caption: "I don't want a lot of money, I want a lot of love."
Just see if people criticize her or not.
"If you're always comparing yourself to others in life, you'll never be happy. You might be jealous of me, but maybe someone else is envious of you, envious that you don't have to work 996, don't have to rent a cheap room from a shady landlord, and don't hesitate to buy a cake on your birthday."
Xia Wenxi looked at her and said, "You see, if we're talking about who's worse off, there's always someone worse off than you, but that's not how you live life."
Forget it, we're not that close, I don't want to talk to you too much. Next time you say something, remember to stay away so I don't hear you, otherwise I'll yell back.
She almost moved herself to tears after she finished speaking, but "Feifei" looked at her with a puzzled expression, "996... a 'room for multiple people' room, what's that?"
Xia Wenxi really wanted to pinch his philtrum, and said speechlessly, "It's better if you don't know. I hope all the capitalists in the world don't know this."
"My name is Tang Feifei."
"oh."
Tang Feifei noticed Xia Wenxi's coldness and pursed her lips. "The one with me today is called Ji Yuwei."
"Oh, I don't really want to know."
"She also wants to marry Lin Shen, which is why she's targeting you."
Xia Wenxi found it baffling. "She doesn't read any of the Weibo posts that refute the rumors. I have nothing to do with Lin Shen, so why is she contacting me?"
As soon as Xia Wenxi finished speaking, a shadow fell over her.
"Miss Xia was looking for me?"
