She neatly folded the clothes for Sister Cheng and placed them in the gift box Yu Cheng had prepared for her. After everyone had finished breakfast, they saw it was about time and went to the Cheng family’s home together.
They weren’t early, and by the time they arrived at the Cheng family’s house, there were already many guests inside. Of course, since it was a birthday banquet for the younger generation of the Cheng family, most of the guests were young people.
Several guests were gathered around a beautifully dressed girl, chatting. Jiang Mianmian quickly glanced and knew that the girl surrounded by everyone was likely today’s protagonist, the birthday girl, Sister Cheng.
Cheng An, who was entertaining guests inside the house, saw them coming and walked over happily, warmly saying, "Sister Yu, Boss Yu, Mianmian, you guys are just in time. Tang Lin and the others have just arrived."
"Xiao Anzi, long time no see. You’re still so handsome." Yu Rou reached out and rubbed Cheng An’s smiling face. Yu Cheng grew up with Cheng An and others, and Yu Rou could say she watched them grow up.
"Sister Yu, give me some face." Cheng An said with a smile, begging for mercy.
"Alright, there are many guests today. I’ll leave you some face," Yu Rou said as she removed her hand from Cheng An’s face and firmly patted his shoulder.
"I’ll take you guys over to find Tang Lin and the others."
After saying that, Cheng An led them inside. They hadn’t walked far when the birthday girl, Cheng Jia, surrounded by people, saw Yu Rou and others. She walked over very surprised.
As the birthday girl approached the Yu family, the guests at the birthday party followed their line of sight, watching the lively scene.
Cheng Jia, with a surprised look on her face, took Yu Rou’s hand and happily asked, "Xiao Rou, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?"
Cheng Jia and Yu Rou were about the same age, and they were classmates. They had a great relationship.
"I came back the day before yesterday. I wanted to surprise you, so I didn’t say anything in advance. Here, this is your birthday gift. Happy birthday, Little Prodigy," Yu Rou said as she took out the perfume she had bought from the department store yesterday and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Xiao Rou. I really like it," Cheng Jia said as she accepted it with a smile.
The perfume was a new release. She had planned to buy it after her birthday, but to her surprise, Yu Rou had bought it as an early gift. Despite the long time apart, they still shared a good understanding.
"I knew you would like it," Yu Rou remarked proudly, clearly pleased with their mutual understanding.
"Sister Cheng, this is my gift. Happy birthday," Yu Cheng said as he also handed over the gift he had bought.
"Thank you, Xiao Cheng."
"Sister, this is the Little Prodigy from Stone Bridge Village that I told you about. He’s also the one who saved Boss Yu’s life, Jiang Mianmian."
After Cheng An introduced her, he winked and made faces at Jiang Mianmian. Ever since Jiang Mianmian had asked him for Cheng Jia’s size, he had been curious whether she really would make the clothes.
So, he was eagerly signaling her to quickly present the gift, wanting to see for himself.
Catching his hint, Jiang Mianmian immediately lifted her prepared gift box and said with a sweet smile, "Sister Cheng, happy birthday. This is my gift to you."
"Thank you, Mianmian." Cheng Jia, despite knowing that Jiang Mianmian came from a rural area, didn’t treat her coldly. She smiled warmly and generously at her.
Seeing that his sister had no intention of opening the gift box right away, Cheng An quickly walked over, grinning, and said, "Sister, open it and take a look. Mianmian put a lot of thought into this gift several days in advance."
