Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Birthday Party 1_1
Su Wanxia didn’t notice her mother’s unusual expression and was very happy inside; she could only nod her head, “Okay, Dad, just don’t invite too many people.”
“Good, good.”
“Haha…”
Lying in bed that night, Su Wanxia hesitated about whether to invite Ji Hua and the others. She hadn’t considered inviting Mu Yingchen; besides, he was so busy, how could he find ti to attend her birthday party?
Kang Xiaolan would definitely co. Since she was coming, as her boyfriend, Mu Feng might also show up. Why? Because Kang Xiaolan, that sly girl, had finally managed to catch Mu Feng and now wanted the whole world to know she was Mu Feng’s girlfriend. She wouldn’t miss an opportunity to show off their love.
Su Wanxia massaged her head. If Mu Feng ca, Ji Hua might co too, and if Mu Chuyang had ti, he might also join in on the fun. But the question was, did she actually want to invite them?
She let out a long sigh, “Should I actually invite them or not…”
“Forget it, they won’t know if I don’t say anything.” After thinking it over, she decided it would be better not to let Ji Hua, that guy, co. She wouldn’t ntion Mu Feng; he would probably co with Kang Xiaolan.
Tossing and turning in bed, she finally drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Another four days passed without Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen crossing paths.
June 22nd evening: C City’s famous star-rated hotel, Xianxian Tower—
With a smile on her face, Su Wanxia stood by her parents to greet the steadily arriving guests, all the while inwardly complaining. What were her parents thinking? Such a grand occasion—they had said only a few guests, hadn’t they? Why did it feel like the guests were never-ending, that she couldn’t finish greeting them all?
Actually, the Su Family’s foundation in C City wasn’t bad; although not comparable to the Mu Group, they had been prosperous in the business world over the years compared to other prestigious families.
So, there were quite a few people usually trying to curry favor with them. However, since Su Hongbo had only one daughter who had been studying abroad, and Mrs. Su rarely made public appearances, these people seldom got the chance to ingratiate themselves.
This ti, upon hearing that Su Hongbo’s daughter had returned from overseas and was holding a birthday party, how could they miss such a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity? So even brought their sons along, naturally hoping to get their children closer to the Su family’s daughter. If the two families could beco in-laws, it would be a double blessing and couldn’t be better.
“Yo, President Su, this must be your treasured daughter, as elegant as a graceful bamboo, truly beautiful and charming!”
“Hehe, President Wang has also arrived. Please, co in!”
Tonight, Su Wanxia had heard so many similar complints that her ears were almost callused, but she still kept up her polite smile while greeting everyone.
Taking advantage of a mont when there were no guests around, Su Wanxia leaned close and whispered to her father, “Dad, why are there so many people? Wasn’t it supposed to be just a few guests?”
Her father laughed, “I didn’t expect so many people to co either, but we can’t exactly turn them away at the door, can we?”
“Oh,” Su Wanxia put away her little grumbles and continued to maintain her smile, the very image of a demure young lady.
Su Wanxia’s mother seed to be in a slightly off mood; Su Wanxia took her arm and asked, “Mom, why don’t you seem too happy? Aren’t you excited about your daughter’s birthday?”
“Hehe, always with the jokes, darling. Of course, I’m happy, how could I not be?” Mrs. Su’s laughter was much thicker than before.
“Yeah, that’s more like it.”
“Wanxia, the great beauty!” From a distance, Su Wanxia could hear Yan Yirou’s call.
When they got closer, they all greeted Su Wanxia’s parents one by one.
Su Wanxia complained, “You guys, it’s my birthday and you show up this late. Can we still happily hang out in the future?”
“Hey, we went to pick out a gift for you together, and if we’re here at this ti, it’s because of you,” Yan Yirou protested loudly.
“Yeah, if it weren’t for you, we would have arrived earlier,” Jian Manhui also retorted.
“We aren’t that late either, at least the banquet hasn’t started yet,” Gong Yining added.
“Right!” Yan Yirou and Jian Manhui nodded in unison, echoing each other.
As the saying goes, “Three cobblers together make a genius like Zhuge Liang.” Su Wanxia conceded defeat, with an expression that said ‘I’m scared of you guys,’ dramatically bending over and stretching out her hand, “Please co in, ladies, hurry on inside!”
“Haha, we’ll go in first then,”
“Yeah, let’s hurry,” Su Wanxia nodded like a bobbing head doll.
A mont later, Kang Xiaolan arrived, arm in arm with Mu Feng. Su Wanxia nodded to herself; indeed, her guess was right – Kang Xiaolan had really brought Mu Feng with her.
“Wanxia, happy birthday,” Kang Xiaolan released Mu Feng’s arm and hugged Su Wanxia with both arms.
“Mm-hmm, thanks, ‘Chef’!” Su Wanxia joked.
“Hey, can’t you find a better nickna? I’m also a bona fide beauty, you know?” Kang Xiaolan let go of Su Wanxia and said with an air of grievance.
On the side, Mu Feng politely greeted Su Wanxia’s parents: “Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, good to see you.”
“Hehe, hello.” Su Hongbo and his wife had seen Mu Feng before; he had accompanied Mu Yingchen to their house in the past, and over the years they had also seen him in magazines, the Director of Mu Group – a truly accomplished young man.
“Wanxia, most of the guests have arrived. You and Xiaolan and the others go inside first,” Su’s mother kindly told her.
After thinking it over, Su Wanxia agreed, “Okay then, mom and dad, I’ll go greet everyone inside first. You should co soon too, there are a lot of people I don’t recognize.”
“Alright, go ahead!”
Su Wanxia walked with Kang Xiaolan and Mu Feng to the banquet, greeting people left and right as she went, not caring if she knew them or not – that was her attitude.
Everyone couldn’t help but be internally astounded; they hadn’t expected the Su Family’s daughter to be so striking, especially the young n, who seed to want to glue their eyes on her.
Su Wanxia herself was very beautiful, and after dressing up specially for tonight, she shone even more brightly.
Her long black hair was delicately coiled up, her slightly enhanced features beca more enchanting, and her knee-length plum red dress made her fair skin stand out like a peeled egg; along with a pair of silver high heels, she was as noble and elegant as a princess, bright and attractive.
After finding Yan Yirou and the others, Su Wanxia finally sat down to rest. Having stood for so long today, her legs were sore.
“Wanxia, a lot of handso guys have co to the party today,” Yan Yirou’s eyes road all over the place.
“Indeed, quite a few,” Jian Manhui nodded.
Su Wanxia pursed her lips, “How about I introduce so to you?”
“NO, NO, NO,” Yan Yirou raised a finger and gently waved it, “They are all here for you, why should I join in the fun?”
“Yeah, Wanxia, you make it seem like a matchmaking party,” Kang Xiaolan said.
“What are you talking about, you guys? They all ca for my dad’s sake, nothing to do with matchmaking,” Su Wanxia looked helplessly at the few close friends before her.
Mu Feng’s lips curved slightly. It seed his elder brother’s position was sowhat in danger, for tonight’s flair was clearly a matchmaking party prepared for Wanxia.
