Chapter 1251 - 1251 Happy Birthday
1251 Happy Birthday
Vivian knew that she couldn’t take Jian Changsheng away today. The boss here was his friend. Even so, she had to show concern for him.
“Drinking too much is harmful to your body,” Vivian comforted him softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the bartender handed a gla.s.s of vodka to Jian Changsheng.
Jian Changsheng took a sip and said calmly, “If you don’t want to drink, you can go back first. I’m fine alone.”
Although there was no anger in his words, how could Vivian not hear the impatience in his words?
!!
Jian Changsheng was in a bad mood today and only wanted to drink quietly. If Vivian stopped him again, she would only make him unhappy.
Seeing this, Vivian quickly retracted her hand and picked up the c.o.c.ktail on her table. “Alright, CEO. I’ll drink with you.”
…
At half past eight in the evening, w.a.n.g Yunmei’s birthday party started on time.
Wu Shaoqi made twelve dishes, and it could be said that he performed well in front of w.a.n.g Yunmei.
“Look at Old Wu’s culinary skills. It’s a pity he’s not a chef!” w.a.n.g Yunzhi praised!
That night, she had already praised Old Wu a few times. Moreover, she always seemed to say it to w.a.n.g Yunmei, intentionally or otherwise.
Jiang Chunfen chimed in, “That’s right, Old Wu. I think you shouldn’t sell tofu anymore. You might as well open a restaurant. Business will be good!”
Old Wu picked up the spoon with ease. When he heard that, he couldn’t help but chuckle honestly. “I think it’s doable. I’m quite good at researching food.”
w.a.n.g Yunzhi and Jiang Chunfen looked at each other and smiled. w.a.n.g Yunmei, who was at the side, said, “Old Wu, don’t listen to their nonsense. How many people in Baiyun City love your tofu?! If you quit, won’t these people go crazy?”
Although Old Wu’s tofu stall was in the South City District, it was an established brand in Baiyun City. It had been pa.s.sed down for a few generations before it reached him. Many regular customers in Baiyun City were from upper-cla.s.s society. To eat Old Wu’s family’s tofu, they did not hesitate to drive across half the city to buy it at five or six in the morning.
Moreover, this business might stop now that reached Old Wu. At least Wu Bi would not sell tofu.
Old Wu nodded and poured the fish into the pot onto the plate. He said, “I was just joking. I don’t want to open a restaurant.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled and carried the fish out. Old Wu also went to the bathroom to wash his hands. The last dish was served, and everyone was prepared to eat.
Taking advantage that there was no one in the kitchen, Jiang Chunfen secretly asked w.a.n.g Yunzhi, “What do you think Xiao Mei thinks of Old Wu? I think the two of them are quite compatible!”
“I think so too.” w.a.n.g Yunzhi also said, “Old Wu is down-to-earth and takes care of family. Most importantly, he likes my sister. If not for Old Wu all these years, life would have been difficult for her!”
“What is Xiao Mei thinking? The two of them have known each other for over ten years. Why aren’t they together?” Jiang Chunfen was anxious for w.a.n.g Yunmei.
She only knew about Old Wu after her divorce and becoming w.a.n.g Yunmei’s best friend. After interacting with him a few times, she could tell that Old Wu was a man worth entrusting to. Moreover, he had taken care of w.a.n.g Yunmei’s family all these years without asking for anything in return. To put it bluntly, he was just short of a marriage certificate. Otherwise, Old Wu would be like the male lead of this family!
w.a.n.g Yunzhi sighed softly and drawled, “In the past, I’ve asked my sister about thoughts of remarriage. In the end, her previous job always made people feel it was not honorable. Many people who approach her don’t want to sincerely live with her!”
“But there were also honest people like Old Wu who pursued her before. However, my sister felt that her conditions and job were not suitable for a second marriage. After all, she was raising two children. She was afraid that others would not treat the children well, so she wanted to work harder alone to raise the children!”
w.a.n.g Yunmei had said these words to w.a.n.g Yunzhi many years ago. Although being an escort was self-reliant, w.a.n.g Yunmei still felt inferior in her bones, especially in the face of others’ pursuit!
She probably had the same thoughts about Old Wu. She treated Old Wu as her family, but if they were together, w.a.n.g Yunmei would feel that she was not worthy of Old Wu.
Although she was beautiful, w.a.n.g Yunmei had never treated her appearance as her capital. Otherwise, she would have remarried long ago!
Jiang Chunfen couldn’t help but sigh. “We can’t match make this matter blindly. It depends on fate! It’s been over ten years. If they’re fated, they won’t be able to escape!”
w.a.n.g Yunzhi nodded and agreed. “That’s right. Although my sister’s att.i.tude is unclear, Old Wu is determined! He persisted for so many years because of my sister. Old Wu is probably not in a hurry. After all, he has waited for so many years.”
“If Old Wu can’t hold it in anymore one day, things might work out fine!”
After all, they were just one step away!
The two of them were worried when the kitchen door suddenly opened. w.a.n.g Yunmei poked her head in and called out to them, “What are the two of you talking about?! Come out quickly. It’s time to eat!”
“We’ll be right there!”
The two of them quickly stopped talking and walked out!
This year’s birthday was the liveliest birthday w.a.n.g Yunmei had ever celebrated! Not only was Ji Haoyu here, but Wu Bi was also here. Even w.a.n.g Yunzhong was here!
After opening all the foldable tables, everyone sat together!
“Come, everyone, raise your gla.s.ses first. Happy birthday to Xiao Mei!” As soon as they sat down, w.a.n.g Yunzhong raised his gla.s.s!
Seeing this, no one fell silent. They raised their gla.s.ses!
“Happy birthday, Aunt!”
“Mom, happy birthday!”
“Happy birthday, Sister!”
“Happy birthday, Auntie Mei!”
…
w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled and clinked gla.s.ses with everyone. Looking at the people around her and their faces, she suddenly felt her eyes burn. An inexplicable feeling of grat.i.tude welled up in her heart.
“Thank you, thank you!”
w.a.n.g Yunmei opened her mouth to hide her tears. Then, she raised her head to drink so that her tears would flow back!
However, tears fell from the corners of her eyes. w.a.n.g Yunmei quickly raised her hand to wipe them away, but everyone still saw them!
Jian Ai said nothing to comfort her. Instead, she revealed a knowing smile. She could completely understand why her mother was crying.
This birthday had a different meaning for her, her mother, this family, and everyone.
w.a.n.g Yunzhi was also touched. She turned around and wiped her tears!
Jiang Chunfen’s eyes turned red.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, w.a.n.g Yunmei smiled and said, “Really, I cried just like that. I’m just a little emotional…”
“Too many things have happened this year. I just remembered many scenes!”
Wu Shaoqi quickly handed over a tissue to comfort her. “It’s all good news!”
w.a.n.g Yunmei wiped her tears and nodded. “Yes, it’s all good news.”
At this moment, Yao Feng raised his gla.s.s again. “This year is almost over. I hope everything will go smoothly in the new year.”
Everyone raised their gla.s.ses and downed the wine in their gla.s.ses with blessings for themselves and their families!
