Chapter 312: I Got Someone To Change It
She looked at him with a gentle smile.
Fu Xiuyuan strode towards her with a pious posture. He walked up to her and said softly, “Happy birthday, s.h.i.+ Jin.”
“Thank you.”
“I hope that every day from now on will be like today.” Fu Xiuyuan’s voice was low and rich, like a premium wine.
He Ziheng and the others gasped in surprise. Their boss, who was usually quiet and serious, could actually say such things?
Although it wasn’t sweet talk, it was actually more than that.
Indeed, the magic of love was huge.
s.h.i.+ Jin walked to his side, the corners of her eyes curling up slightly. Her voice was gentle. “With you around, I believe it will work.”
He Ziheng and Pei Jun looked at each other. Lan Tian held her face in both hands while Qiao Zhuoli stuffed his hands into his pockets. He was not surprised that someone as cold as Fu Xiuyuan would be taken down by s.h.i.+ Jin. s.h.i.+ Jin was really good at this.
He Ziheng hooted. “What else do you have? Tell me.”
Fu Xiuyuan glared daggers at him. He shrunk back, knowing that he couldn’t stay there any longer. He said, “I heard that Uncle Li is over there. Let’s go over and greet Uncle Li.”
Everyone went over together.
The Li family had been in a state of decline previously, and because there were all sorts of things happening in the family, their relations.h.i.+p with the entire family had deteriorated. However, in reality, the Li family’s gossip was alive and well in the mouths of the other aristocratic families. Back then, the bell rang for food and the fire burned for oil, making the people of the aristocratic clans take delight in talking about it. So He Ziheng and the rest understood them very well.
Since they were both aristocratic families, and the Li family was now where s.h.i.+ Jin was, He Ziheng and the others naturally felt obligated to meet and have a good chat.
Fu Xiuyuan whispered to s.h.i.+ Jin, “Ignore them.”
“Actually, they’re quite fun. Just with He Ziheng alone, the entire birthday party will become twice as lively.”
“Then he’ll still be useful.”
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled brightly. “Speaking of which, your friends are really nice.”
“Am I alone not good enough?”
The moment Fu Xiuyuan said that, s.h.i.+ Jin could smell his jealousy. s.h.i.+ Jin had never known that he liked to be jealous so much.
s.h.i.+ Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Her tone was flirtatious. “You are the best.”
Only then did Fu Xiuyuan feel satisfied. He bent, leaving a light touch on her scarlet lips. He wouldn’t act rashly because there were too many elders around.
He Ziheng and the rest had already run over to Li Juekai’s side and were chatting together happily.
Li Juekai was the Young Master of the Li family. Who had he not seen before?
In front of him, He Ziheng and the others were just ordinary juniors. His expression was calm, and he seemed very comfortable chatting with them. As such, the entire banquet hall was filled with laughter and liveliness.
Everywhere s.h.i.+ Jin looked was filled with people she cared about. She was being embraced by love and her heart gradually warmed.
Ever since she was reborn, she had always felt that she was trying her best to warm up and heal those she owed, but actually, wasn’t she the one accepting their kindness and being warmed and healed by them?
Love was mutual. It was precisely because they treasured each other that they were precious to one another.
After Fu Xiuyuan arrived, the banquet started very quickly.
Old Master Li stood up, picked up his wine gla.s.s, and tapped it lightly with his spoon.
Everyone instantly fell silent and looked at him at the same time.
Old Master Li’s expression was kind, and his eyes were filled with deep affection. He said, “Today, everyone is here to attend s.h.i.+ Jin’s birthday party. I won’t say any more words of thanks. I believe that compared to listening to plat.i.tudes, you would rather see s.h.i.+ Jin live happily.”
His words. .h.i.t everyone’s heart, and everyone applauded in unison.
“As s.h.i.+ Jin’s grandfather, I have some expectations. s.h.i.+ Jin, your grandfather hopes that you can live freely and happily in the future.”
He nodded in s.h.i.+ Jin’s direction. This was the greatest wish and blessing an elder could give to a junior.
There was another round of applause and friendly laughter.
s.h.i.+ Jin stood up. There was a healthy flush on her fair face and her long hair fell over her shoulders like seaweed.
The young girl had a mature look on her face, but her eyes were still pure and clear.
She raised her voice and said, “Thank you, Grandfather, and to all my teachers, friends, and elders. I hope that everyone can live a carefree life and be happy and blessed.”
Fu Xiuyuan looked at s.h.i.+ Jin with a relaxed smile.
All the guests present were also giving their blessings, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.
There was no air conditioner in Breeze Wind Pavilion. The windows on both sides of the building were open and the wind was blowing in. It was cool and refres.h.i.+ng.
This was the largest and best main hall. The lighting conditions there were better than in the other halls. Even though there were many people there, everyone could feel the cool breeze.
In this modern city, such a feature was already rare.
He Ziheng drank a few gla.s.ses of good wine and whispered something to Pei Junyi, Qiao Zhuoli, Lan Tian, and the others.
The four of them immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
The manager quickly followed them. “May I know what else you need?”
“There seems to be a big screen in the waiting room over here?”
“Yes, yes.” The manager led them out and pointed outside. “It’s over there. Our LED screen is the largest indoor LED screen in Asia. All guests who celebrate their birthdays here can show their blessings on it. However, no one has come to use it yet, so it’s just been playing s.h.i.+ Jin’s songs.”
“s.h.i.+ Jin’s songs? Do you always broadcast her songs?” He Ziheng asked.
The manager smiled and said, “That’s right. We broadcast whatever our customers like. s.h.i.+ Jin has had the highest ratings recently. We can’t go wrong broadcasting her.”
“Can I order something later?”
“Sure, I don’t have anything set yet. I’ll go arrange it for you.”
He Ziheng and the rest walked towards the big screen. The scene of s.h.i.+ Jin’s MV changed to another man’s song.
However, in the eyes of He Ziheng and the rest, this man was too much of a fan. The music was even louder than the guests’ voices. It was really not a good song.
“What’s going on? Did you suddenly switch the song?” Pei Junyi asked.
“I got someone to change it. Why?” Chu Jia asked.
Standing beside her was Chu Jia. She was there today to congratulate s.h.i.+ Xuexin on her birthday.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s birthday party was being held in a side hall. The side hall was not big and could not accommodate many guests, so she had added two more tables at the last minute.
With this addition, how could the others still feel the ever-present cold wind in Breeze Wind Pavilion?
Chu Jia had been sitting in the corner, and she came out halfway through the meal.
