Lu Ming cursed Wei Ji for being a vixen. Then, he turned his gaze away angrily and smiled at Ning Sheng. “Since it’s Wei Ji’s birthday, I wonder if I have a chance to go to the Wei Family to ask for cake?”
In Lu Ming’s opinion, although Wei Ji was pitiful, this kid definitely did not do anything good.
Ning Sheng was stunned for a moment. She was a little stunned by Lu Ming’s faint smile as he asked for cake. Then, she said, “You should ask Ah Ji about this. After all, it’s his birthday.”
When Lu Ming looked at Wei Ji, Wei Ji had already said, “It’s just a small birthday banquet. Initially, Third Brother Lu, I’ll welcome you if you didn’t mind. It’s just that that day is the anniversary of my parents’ death, so it’s not good to invite too many people. Third Brother Lu, if you come, with your influence, I’m afraid the small banquet will turn into a big banquet.”
Wei Ji was rejecting him!
Everyone looked at Lu Ming, who had been rejected, and secretly sweated for Wei Ji. He was a cripple who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and actually dared to reject Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled instead of being angry. “I can’t, but Lin Yin can. What kind of logic is that?”

Wei Ji seemed to be a little fl.u.s.tered by Lu Ming’s stare. He said timidly, “Yinyin is different. She’s my good friend and my cla.s.smate. I think my parents must want to see a friend who treats me so well.”
Feng Yu quickly shrank her neck. She had been invited just now. She was afraid that this Lu Ming, whom everyone was afraid of, would mention her, so she wished she could turn invisible.
Fortunately, before Lu Ming could speak, Lin Yin stood in front of Wei Ji and looked straight at Lu Ming. She questioned, “Uncle, since Wei Ji already said this, don’t force him!”
Lu Ming’s gaze was fixed on Lin Yin, who was protecting Wei Ji. No one could see Lu Ming’s expression clearly, so they held their breaths and waited.
Mu Heng knew what Lu Ming was worried about, but the occasion was a little inappropriate, so he went forward and put his hand on Lu Ming’s shoulder to smooth things over. “Lu Ming, you still like to joke so much. When did you like to eat cake at someone else’s house? Alright, I think the banquet is about to end. Coincidentally, I have some business to discuss with you. Shall we leave together?”
Lu Ming looked at Mu Heng until he saw a promise in Mu Heng’s eyes. He said
faintly, “Okay!”
Looking at Lin Yin’s protective stance, Lu Ming only smiled faintly and left with Mu Heng. His girl suspected that he would harm Wei Ji. Lu Ming didn’t think much of it because he really didn’t believe Wei Ji.
However, when he saw Lin Yin confronting him for someone else, Lu Ming still felt hurt.
As soon as Lu Ming left, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Lu Ming would strangle Wei Ji, this weak kid, to death on the spot. Although it was a little exaggerated, Lu Ming’s deep gaze and the aura he exuded just now were still a little scary.
Lu Yan gave Lin Yin a thumbs up in admiration. Lin Yin was still the best. Then, Lu Yan said goodbye to Lin Yin and went home.
After the banquet ended, everyone bade farewell to the Mu Family and left.
Wei Ji tugged at Lin Yin’s clothes and said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Yinyin. Did you get into an argument with Third Brother Lu because of me? I was scared to death just now. I was afraid that Third Brother Lu would hate you.”
Lin Yin frowned and smiled. ‘What are you thinking about? How can a grown man like Lu Ming hate me? Then he’s too petty. Don’t worry, he won’t hate me.”
Lin Yin’s tone sounded as if she knew Lu Ming very well. Wei Ji did not even realize that he felt a little sad.
After getting someone to send Wei Ji back to school, Lin Yin looked at the gifts that had already piled up into a small mountain and had a headache.
The first thing she saw was the little wooden figure that Wei Ji had personally handed to her. Looking at the patterns on it, it must have been carved by Wei Ji himself.
Lin Yin took the little wooden figure to the mirror and placed it beside her face to compare. She realized that it really looked like her and couldn’t help but laugh.
Putting Wei Ji’s gift aside, Lin Yin opened the gifts from her family one by one. This was the first time she had personally received a birthday gift from her family, and her heart was filled with happiness.
After lying in the pile of gifts for a long time, Lin Yin turned her gaze to the gift box Lu Ming had sent over. She stared at it for a long time before saying, “Since he’s already given it to me, it’s mine. There’s no harm in opening it..”
