i Shu glanced at the dining table and saw a row of cream-carved figurines, crooked and twisted. Judging by the length of their hair, i Shu could vaguely recognize four boys and one girl, with an elderly grandfather standing beside them.
i Yan proudly pointed at them. “Sister! Look at the sculptures I made, aren’t they nice?”
i Shu rubbed her head helplessly. “They’re nice! Let guess, the cutest sculpture must be Yanyan, right?”
i Yan grinned innocently. “Sister is so smart, much smarter than Second Brother! Second Brother is a big idiot, he can’t even tell such lifelike sculptures apart!”
i Jing suddenly gave him a smack on the forehead. “How dare you say your creations are lifelike? What’s the difference between these and scribbles? I told you I should have been the one to do it!”
“You’re not even better than !” i Yan retorted indignantly. “Sister, look, this figure was carved by Second Brother. Can you tell what it is?”
i Shu stared at the figurine for a mont and then looked at the smiling old butler beside her, suddenly bursting out laughing. “Isn’t this Uncle Zhao?”
“You see! I told you I carve better than you. Sister can easily recognize the one I carved!” i Jing imdiately lifted his head high in triumph.
i Yan disdainfully turned his head and snorted, “That’s because I laid the groundwork for him. Sister can at least tell that you carved a person, narrowing down her options. Otherwise, Sister wouldn’t have guessed!” “You little brat, 1 think you need another lesson!” i Jing dropped the piping bag and rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach i Yan a lesson.
i Yan wouldn’t just stand there and let him beat him up. He quickly dashed behind i Shu and made faces at i Jing. “Are you angry? Big Brother must like the cake I made better!”
i Jing was about to grab him, but i Shu hurriedly separated them, her tone filled with undeniable indulgence. “Alright, stop ssing around. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Xiao Feng should be back soon, right?”
Zhao Yan nodded. “I just called Young Master, he’s on his way back.”
“Then I should bring out the gift too.” i Shu, looking mysterious, went back to her room alone.
Today was i Feng’s birthday. Originally, i Shu wanted to celebrate it grandly, but i Feng didn’t want his birthday to beco a social event, so he just took care of it at ho.
She had prepared a gift for i Feng long ago. The thought of how happy i Feng would be when he saw it made her excited.
The system said she had less than a year left to live.
She hadn’t found the crucial turning point to change the outco yet, but before that, she wanted to spend each remaining day earnestly with the important people in her life.
Ding ding ding.
Just as she was lost in thought, soone knocked on the door from outside.
i Shu picked up the bag containing the gift and went to open the door, but Zhao Yan outside had an expression of embarrassnt.
i Shu’s heart sank, suddenly having a bad premonition. “Uncle Zhao, what’s wrong?”
Zhao Yan sighed. “Young Master is back, but Madam ca. She also brought i Cheng and Feng Wei with her, saying they want to celebrate Young Master’s birthday.”
i Shu frowned, thinking of the scene just now when she tore her face with Feng Wei in the office. She quickly handed the gift to Zhao Yan and rushed downstairs.
The originally joyous atmosphere in the living room beca sowhat serious because of the arrival of these unexpected guests.
The elderly lady sat in the center with a frown, and when she saw i Shu, she imdiately started picking on her. “It’s Xiao Feng’s birthday today, and none of you bothered to inform . Do you not consider , your grandmother, important?”
i Shu sat on the other side of the sofa, thinking to herself, when did you ever rember i Feng’s birthday? Wasn’t i Mu the only grandchild you cared about?
But despite that, i Shu still answered with a gentle smile, “We didn’t dare to disturb your rest, Grandma.”
Madam snorted, pointing at Feng Wei with a stern expression. “I heard from your aunt that you two had a very unpleasant incident at the company today? You even want to dismiss her brother? Do you have to disturb the peace at ho before you can rest easy?”
i Shu glanced at the red-eyed Feng Wei and knew what she was up to. She concealed the coldness in her eyes, patiently saying, “It’s not that I want to make a big deal out of it. It’s just that Auntie’s brother is not competent and cannot hold the position of manager. But Auntie said she would go back and discuss it with Uncle, considering it as helping the junior and giving their family’s order to , buying a manager’s position for her brother.”
Upon hearing this, i Cheng suddenly looked at i Shu with a serious expression. “I know you just took office and are eager to show your strength, but the business with Qianrui is not sothing you can handle. When your father beca the CEO, he never ntioned dismissing Feng Kai.. What qualifications do you have to talk about dismissing him now?”
