NFBE Chapter 225 Birthday Party 1
Chapter 225 Birthday Party 1
After spending a huge amount of money on dumplings, Zhong Suhan regretted her impulsive spending and sighed no less than five times within three minutes. She found a random store to have breakfast, then went to a random clothing store, picked up a cheap dress, bought some related accessories, dressed up a little, and took a flying drop to the planet Hainos.
There are many Earth-like planets in the galaxy where she is now, and Hainos is one of them. Ninety percent of it is water, and the remaining ten percent is various islands. The Zhong family owns the right to use one of the islands.
Holding an eighteenth birthday party for the family's favored daughter on that island was the most appropriate, respectable, and financially-savvy event, and most of those invited were families with a certain amount of power.
It’s called a birthday party, but it’s just a game of resource exchange.
Zhong Suhan touched the cheap pearl earrings on her earlobes. In front of her was the list of participants that Xiao Tiandao had compiled for her. Behind each person was a detailed list of their relationship with the Zhong and Bai families, the companies under their names and their operating conditions, as well as some gossip about the famous families.
She glanced at the driver in front of her. In order to protect the privacy and safety of the guests, there was a huge soundproof glass between them. The driver could only observe the movements behind him but could not hear what the other party was saying.
If the passenger needs anything, he can press the conversation button above to talk to the driver.
Zhong Suhan looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "It's so detailed, why don't you send me their company's financial report as well."
Heaven knocks on the small window: [ヾ(^?^)? The financial report is available on the additional page. You can take a look. ]
My goodness, there really is one! Zhong Suhan pinched his brows. Financial reports are only used to reflect the company's operating conditions and provide substantive evidence. The information provided by Xiao Tiandao is naturally accurate and does not need to be supported by financial reports.
She closed the document directly and opened the chat page. Someone named Shuang Xinyi sent her birthday wishes. After a brief recollection and confirming that this person was one of her few close friends, she replied with a thank you and accepted the birthday red envelope from the other party.
She gave him a birthday red envelope of 30,000 star coins, and she replied with a very sincere thank you! She would treat him to a meal when she was free.
Shuang Xinyi: [Forget it, just treat me to tea if you really want to. The eldest daughter of the Bai family lives worse than a person from a small family like me. The Bai family really doesn't mind being laughed at.]
The other party also sent an angry emoticon. Zhong Suhan felt warm in her heart and the corners of her mouth curled up a little. She was not her original self, who would sacrifice herself for the sake of the face of her family elders. After typing on the virtual keyboard and chatting with the other party for a while, Hex arrived.
The driver took her directly to the Zhong family's island. Well-trained servants were already waiting in the parking lot. Even though Zhong Suhan was a person who was not valued, her words and actions were impeccable. She was polite but lacked enthusiasm.
Zhong Suhan looked at the arrival time, it was half past ten, she was a full half an hour late.
Inside the main venue, the Zhong family and the Bai family gathered together, all very dissatisfied with Zhong Suhan's lateness.
Especially the Bai family's parents, who come from a wealthy family and are very strict about family education. Being late is the most unforgivable thing. They already had no good feelings towards this unfriendly and always disobedient daughter, and now they are even more disgusted with her.
Zhong Ruoyun said in embarrassment: "Why don't we start first? We can't keep waiting for her. This is also Weiwei's birthday party."
"Mom, let's wait for my sister." Bai Zhiwei said, "Wait for her, it's okay for me, even though it's my 18th birthday party."
She was just the right amount of weak and sensible, which made Bai's parents feel even more distressed. Bai's father, Bai Lengshan, said directly to his wife Jie Ying: "We can't let Weiwei suffer for her. Go and tell the emcee and start right away."
Xie Ying nodded and made a gesture to the emcee who was looking at her from a distance.
The other party immediately walked onto the stage built in the center, turned on the microphone and began to give his opening remarks. He spoke the same old opening remarks in an exaggerated manner. Just when he was about to say the birthday boy's name, the door of the venue was opened.
The moment the door opened, everyone's attention was drawn to the person who came in. An eighteen-year-old girl came in, wearing a white dress worth one or two thousand yuan, high heels worth a few hundred yuan, a bow hair accessory worth dozens of yuan on her head, and the pearl earrings on her ears were not of good quality either.
Her whole body was out of place in this venue. The clothes worn by people here were at least custom-made and cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the jewelry they wore was all dazzling.
But she is so attractive, with an indifferent temperament and a bright appearance that makes everyone unable to take their eyes off her.
Zhong Suhan glanced at the crowd. Amidst the chaotic smell, there was a hint of cool fragrance that was particularly obvious. She did not look at where the other party was, but quickly locked onto the location of her parents*2 and walked over slowly, "Mom and Dad."
She was lazy and just called out once to greet the three people.
Bai Lengshan looked at his daughter unhappily, "You're so late, what a shame!"
"I was a little late in preparing my clothes." Zhong Suhan said calmly, "I went to bed early yesterday. When Mrs. Zhong notified me to attend the birthday party today, I was already asleep. I live far away and don't have any suitable clothes, so I had to buy a set temporarily, which delayed me a little."
With just a few words, he took the responsibility off himself and transferred it to Zhong Ruoyun.
The emcee was still on stage. Zhong Ruoyun's expression changed slightly and she said with a smile, "Kid, I told you about this a month ago on the phone, but you didn't remember it and blamed me for reminding you yesterday. It was too late."
"Really? Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I had no choice but to have this happen."
Zhong Suhan still maintained his smile, not caring about other people's expressions. People who don't like you won't care too much no matter how beautiful your explanation is. He turned his head and said to Bai Zhiwei.
"Happy birthday. My living expenses haven't arrived for three months. I really don't have money to buy you a gift. I hope you won't be angry."
She was actually very curious about whose account her monthly pocket money of 150,000 yuan went to when it didn't arrive in her own account.
Bai Lengshan frowned. He was not sure how many people had heard this. He just felt that even if there was a problem with the living expenses, the other party should not bring it up in such an occasion. "What a shame! You..."
"...Now we would like to invite the parents of the two birthday celebrants, Bai Lengshan and Mr. Bai, to come on stage and say a few words."
The emcee's words interrupted his education of his daughter. He could only glare at her and go on stage to speak with a smile on his face.
“Although the protagonist today is not me but my two daughters, I am really glad that you can come to their 18th birthday party. As everyone knows, the 18th birthday is a special day. After today, they will no longer be children, but adults.
So I want to take advantage of this great day to announce something to everyone, that is, the marriage of my eldest daughter Bai Zhiwei and the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Tianwen. Tianwen and our Weiwei have been childhood sweethearts..."
