Chapter 796: Jian Yuncheng’s Birthday (2)

“Cough, cough. I didn’t mean anything really. I just wanted to trick you into calling me Brother Yu.”

Jian Yuncheng said that he must not expose his intentions. Therefore, Huo Yu could only use this as an excuse.

Huo Yu looked at Jian Yiling staring at him. Then, he hurriedly said: “Okay, okay. Don’t worry about it. The cake is for you anyway. Take it as bribery. Don’t worry, you don’t have to call me Brother Yu.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling took the cake from Huo Yu.

Then Huo Yu said: “How are you getting home? If there’s no one picking you up, I could send you back home.”

Jian Yiling: “Someone is coming to pick me up.”

Huo Yu: “From the Zhai family?”

Jian Yiling: “Yeah.”

Huo Yu: “Ahh.”

It was no wonder that Jian Yuncheng was in a bad mood. After all, his sister got stolen away from him so early on. If he was in the same situation, he’d also be depressed.

Then, Huo Yu said: “Oh, by the way, it’s Jian Yuncheng’s birthday in a few days. Do you know about this?”

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she nodded.

Huo Yu said tentatively: “I want to hold a birthday party for him. Will you be free? Your eldest brother is such a workaholic. He probably just forgets about his birthdays in the past. Furthermore, it’s super rare for most of his family members to be in Beijing. Due to this reason, I wanted to host a birthday party for him.”

Jian Yiling paused again before she replied: “I should… Have time.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu felt that there was hope for Jian Yuncheng to receive a gift.

“Oh also, are you still upset at Jian Yuncheng?”

“Huh?”

“About the incident three years ago.”

“I’m not upset.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’m not upset.”

Jian Yiling was certain that she was not upset at Jian Yuncheng.

That sort of feeling… It wasn’t anger.

“Ahh, it’s good that you’re not upset with him.”

###

On the day of Jian Yuncheng’s birthday, all the brothers present in Beijing came to celebrate his birthday.

In addition to members of the Jian family, some of Jian Yuncheng’s friends from the corporate world were also invited.

Many of those individuals were from companies that sold cutting-edge technology.

Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng appeared together at the party. The party was hosted in a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.

As they entered, Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng stood side by side. Jian Yiling also held onto Zhai Yunsheng’s hand.

Zhai Yunsheng wore a beige[1] sweater and casual pants. This made his appearance seem much softer as typically, he wore dark-colored clothing.

On the other hand, Jian Yiling wore a pure white dress. The dress reached her knees and revealed her fair calves. In addition, she wore a small shawl on her shoulders. Her long hair was hanging down and there was an accessory attached to her hair.

The two of them were styled by their stylists before they left for the birthday party. Otherwise, Jian Yiling would definitely not dress up this way.

When Jian Yuncheng saw the two of them, the expression on his face became dark and gloomy.

“Jian Yuncheng, Yiling is here! It seems as though she brought you a gift!” Huo Yu said smilingly.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yuncheng replied.

Jian Yuncheng saw the gift in Zhai Yunsheng’s hand. It seemed very expensive.

However, at that moment, Jian Yuncheng seemed a bit upset.

He quickly took back his gaze from Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng.

Wen Ruo arrived at the party after Jian Yiling.

She wore a Mori [2]girl-style dress and gave off a clean and simple aura.

She stepped past Jian Yiling and walked over to Jian Yuncheng.

“Happy Birthday Cousin Yuncheng! I wish you a good day and a good year!”

Wen Ruo’s voice was warm and sincere. It seemed like she was fully qualified to be his sister.
