Birthday Banquet 18

“Huo Mian, I know we’re not really friends, and I shouldn’t interfere too much with your life. But, when I hear things that concern you, I still worry about you. I don’t know if my intel is accurate, but I heard Huo Yanyan somehow got an invitation to your party. You guys are enemies, right? If she appears at your birthday party, something bad’s bound to happen. You should take care of yourself.”

“Where did you get this information?”

“Huo Yanyan’s been spending a lot of time with an investor, I think she wants his money or something… I heard someone talk about it over a commercial dinner.”

“Jiang Ye, thank you for telling me this.” Although Huo Mian knew Huo Yanyan wasn’t going to stop, she was still grateful that Jiang Ye told her about this.

“Don’t thank me, I just feel bad for you and can’t believe that people are trying to hurt you despite your giant belly. Be careful, alright?”

“Mhm, I will. Oh right, I have a friend who’s new to the entertainment circle. She’s pretty good and graduated from the dance academy. If you have the time, see if you can get her into something.”

“Shouldn’t you ask Su Yu for help instead?” Jiang Ye laughed.

“I don’t want her to start so high… so, I’d rather she reach success step by step.”

“You’re a mature and far-sighted woman.”

“Stop complimenting me.”

“Sounds good, give me your friend’s name and phone number, I’ll see what I can do.”

“Mhm, I’ll send it to you.” Huo Mian then took out her phone and sent Han Yueyao’s information to Jiang Ye, and the latter left the hospital.

The fact that he came to see Huo Mian and treated her with honesty left Huo Mian thankful.

As for Huo Yanyan? Ha, what could she do to Huo Mian? Huo Yanyan couldn’t hurt Huo Mian even at the height of her status, so what could she do now? Huo Yanyan was a mere ownerless dog these days.

– On the other side of town –

Upon hearing that Huo Mian wasn’t accepting birthday presents, Han Yueyao wasn’t sure what to do. If she didn’t bring anything, she would feel bad. But what if she brought something and was denied entry into the party?

She almost made a promise to Su Yu that she wanted to keep.

After some thought, Han Yueyao ran out during lunch time, and ended up inside a large infant store in the heart of downtown.

“Miss, what are you looking for, and can I help you?”

“I’m looking for clothes for a newborn child, do you carry any?”

“We do. There’s a newborn package with clothes, pants, hats, socks and gloves. There’s 11 outfits in here.”

“Are there colors for boys?”

“There’s blue and yellow.”

Han Yueyao thought for a moment and nodded her head. “I’ll take the blue set.”

“The blue set is 1,980 yuan.”

“That’s so expensive…” Han Yueyao was surprised how much baby clothes cost.

“We’re a multinational brand, we can promise you the best quality.”

“Okay then, can you pack this up?”

Just like that, Han Yueyao bought Huo Mian’s unborn child a nice, newborn package. Although this gift wasn’t expensive to Huo Mian, it was more than a month’s spending money for Han Yueyao.

She had been living a frugal life; she didn’t accept money from Su Yu’s mother because she wanted to live with dignity.

Just as Han Yueyao was walking out the door, a man called her by her name. “Han Yueyao!”

“Is it Su Yu again? I’ve been seeing him a lot it seems,” Han Yueyao muttered to herself as she turned around. However, to her surprise, it wasn’t Su Yu.
