Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Cream Cake 3
“Mom, but Brother Yu is in Capital City, can he come?” Jiang Mianmian hesitated a bit, actually, when she was thinking about whom to invite for her birthday just now, the first person that came to mind was Yu Cheng.
It’s just that she felt Yu Cheng was too far away and it wasn’t during the winter or summer vacations, so he likely couldn’t make it, which is why she didn’t mention it.
“My daughter, you should still give him a call and ask. To invite or not to invite is a matter of our attitude. Whether he can come depends on whether Yu Cheng has time. But if we don’t tell him at all, then that would be our mistake,” Su Wanyu taught Jiang Mianmian the way of dealing with people.
“Right, my daughter, your mother is right, you should ask Buddy Yu,” Jiang Changhai also agreed with Su Wanyu’s words.
“Then I’ll call Brother Yu right now.” Jiang Mianmian was a person of action, and as soon as she finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa and dialed the phone adeptly.
“Hello, this is the Yu Family.” Yu Cheng’s indifferent voice came through from the other end of the phone.
“Brother Yu, it’s Mianmian.” Jiang Mianmian cheerfully introduced herself.
“Little Lamb? Why are you calling at this time?” Hearing it was Jiang Mianmian, Yu Cheng’s voice clearly warmed up.
Jiang Mianmian then extended a warm invitation, “Brother Yu, it’s my birthday this Saturday, and we’re having a birthday banquet at home. Can you come?”
“I can,” Yu Cheng replied succinctly.
Jiang Mianmian was immediately surprised and asked, “Really? Brother Yu, you’re really coming?”
She hadn’t expected Yu Cheng to actually come, especially since school had already started, and there were only two days of the weekend for him.
With Capital City being so far from their town, if he came without taking leave, he would have to fly, and moreover, would need to come on Saturday and return on Sunday. That would indeed be quite the hassle.
Yu Cheng, hearing the surprise in Jiang Mianmian’s voice, also curled up the corners of his mouth and lazily countered, “Of course it’s true. When have I ever lied to you?”
“That’s great, Brother Yu. What time will you get here? My father and I can come to pick you up,” Jiang Mianmian said excitedly.
“No need to pick me up. You, the birthday girl, just stay calm at home and wait for me. I’ll come over directly,” Yu Cheng instructed.
“Okay, then Brother Yu, see you on Saturday.” Jiang Mianmian said cheerfully and hung up the phone.
Seeing her daughter’s excited behavior, Su Wanyu guessed Yu Cheng’s response. Raising her eyebrows, she asked proudly, “How is it? My daughter, didn’t I say that we, as the hosts, should ask Yu Cheng?”
“Yeah, Mom, you are amazing. Brother Yu said he would come on Saturday. That’s fantastic,” Jiang Mianmian bubbled with excitement as she ran over to Su Wanyu and spoke delightedly.
“Alright, alright, no more spinning around, I’m getting dizzy. My daughter, ask your friends tomorrow what they like to eat. Your mother will show off her cooking skills for you all on Saturday.”
“Okay, I’ll ask them when I invite them tomorrow.”
The next day during the class break, Jiang Mianmian, looking at Zhong Yuan who was beside her concentrating on his exercises, whispered, “Zhong Yuan, it’s my birthday this Saturday. Come over to my house with Tian Wei for dinner.”
“Sure, where’s your home? I’ll write it down,” Zhong Yuan gladly accepted as soon as he heard.
He had often attended his classmates’ birthday parties since elementary school, and he knew that Jiang Mianmian inviting him meant she considered him a true friend, which made him very happy.
Jiang Mianmian told Zhong Yuan the address and house number, and during lunch, she also invited Tian Wei.
