A phone call from Aunt Li broke the awkward atmosphere. Gu Lan walked to the window and picked up the phone, relaxing his shock at the same time.
The first thing the other party said was that Li's father's surgery went very well. Thank you Ji Huai for finding the doctor. Then she warned, "Today is your birthday, and Aunt Li can't rush back. If you don't know how to make longevity noodles, just boil two eggs for yourself." , knock and peel, the coming year will be smooth and peaceful."
"Happy birthday."
There was a ripple in Gu Lan's eyes. He looked at Ms. Zhang Yueqing who was holding the princess crown from the corner of his eye. He paused for a long time and said, "Thank you Aunt Li. I also wish your father a speedy recovery."
After hanging up the phone, taking two deep breaths, she returned to her desk.
What's an orphan's birthday? When I was a child in an orphanage, I didn’t have enough to eat. Her birthday was not expected and she never cared about it.
Aunt Li was the first person to cook longevity noodles for her and celebrate her birthday with her, so she was grateful.
When Ms. Zhang Yueqing appeared, she subconsciously thought that she was playing another prank? Now there was a sudden change, she moved her lips, and suddenly she didn't know what to say.
"The ice cream cake is about to melt!" Ms. Zhang Yueqing was startled and jumped around in her stilettos, making sure to put the princess' crown on Gu Lan's head.
outside the door.
Everyone in the office looked eagerly in that direction, with their hearts hanging on one's mind.
There is movement inside from time to time. It seems like there is a quarrel? Ms. Zhang Yueqing's voice was still very sharp, and it seemed that the situation was not good.
The secretaries were whispering among themselves and discussing:
"It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in trouble. Mr. Gu has to enter the Ji family's door. This is a high threshold."
"Isn't that right? We've brought two bodyguards in, so there won't be a fight, right?"
"Oh my God, what I just brought in seemed to be a cake?"
"Throw the cake at Mr. Gu?"
…
A picture emerged in their minds: Gu Lan was being held down by two bodyguards, and he was smashing the cake with all his strength. Ms. Zhang Yueqing was standing next to her, viciously forcing her to break up with Ji Huai, otherwise she would continue to smash the cake.
Tian Ya trembled all over and quickly picked up her phone to send a message to Ji Huai.
Something happened. Something happened.
Suddenly, the door of Gu Lan's office was opened again, and Ms. Zhang Yueqing came out with a proud look on her face, raising her pretty fingers and urging with excitement, "Quick, quick, stop working, come in quickly!"
No one dared to move.
Do you want them to appreciate Gu Lan's embarrassed appearance? That's too cruel. The other party usually doesn't treat them badly.
Seeing that they didn't move, Ms. Zhang Yueqing became anxious. These people were not enthusiastic at all. She walked over there again and pulled Tian Ya to the office. "It will melt again in a while, hurry up."
Tian Ya felt so miserable in her heart that she even thought about it. If she saw Gu Lan being bullied, she would still stand up for her even if she faced the risk of being fired.
When I walked in, my whole face was wrinkled and I didn't dare to look.
Then, the scene in front of her stunned her. The employees who came in one after another were half curious and half forced, and they all froze in place.
Ji Huai, who hurriedly came down from the top floor, rushed to the door of the office. Looking at the scene inside, he raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help laughing.
The seven-layered cake was placed in the middle. Gu Lan wore a shining crown that did not violate the rules. His expression was stiff, his eyes were wandering, and his cheeks were slightly red, feeling a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
There were more than a dozen employees in the office surrounding her. Ms. Zhang Yueqing was the one with the brightest dress, the widest smile, and the loudest voice. She clapped her hands and sang while swaying her body from side to side. She was more involved than anyone else, saying, "Happy birthday to you." ,Happy birthday to you… "
Gu Lan's usually bright mind seemed to be stuck, and he stood at a loss. Suddenly there was a weight on her shoulders. Ji Huai stood beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, leaned over and whispered in her ear, asking intimately, "Did you make a wish?"
She shook her head.
Ji Huai whispered again: "Blow out candles only when you make a wish. Close your eyes and make a wish."
She closed her eyes, and after a moment, slowly opened them.
"Blow out the candles." He raised his hand and patted the back of her head.
Following his prompts, Gu Lan stepped forward to blow out the candles again.
"Cut the cake." Ms. Zhang Yueqing was so excited that she quickly took out the cake knife.
Ji Huai reached out to pick it up.
"The birthday boy's first incision!" Ms. Zhang Yueqing scolded him with her delicate little face pulled down.
"I know." Ji Huai held Gu Lan's hand and cut with her.
Gu Lan was so nervous that his palms were sweating all the time, and they were still shaking a little. But when he held him, his breath was all over his body, and his racing heart slowly calmed down.
For a moment, everyone in the office was holding a piece of cake.
The sudden flip made everyone a little confused, and they couldn't help but want to give Gu Lan a thumbs up. Mr. Gu is Mr. Gu. There is no order that she cannot negotiate, and there is nothing that she cannot handle.
Not everyone has the ability to have her future mother-in-law come to celebrate her birthday with her.
The people present were all human beings. After reacting quickly, they immediately got into a fight with Ms. Zhang Yueqing.
Ms. Zhang Yueqing is more coaxing than anyone else. She praises her beauty and praises her beauty vigorously. She laughs so much that wrinkles appear at the corners of her eyes. She has to try hard to restrain herself. The corners of her mouth keep rising, pretending to be serious, "Stop talking, people will laugh again." I’m going to have lines between my eyes and my tail, so I can’t laugh.”
Ms. Zhang Yueqing was very happy. She ate the cake with squinted eyes and let everyone admire her newly done nails and hair. "Doesn't it look good? Let me tell you, these nails..."
This sweet voice, ouch.
At first glance, you can't beat Mr. Gu, he looks like an innocent and harmless old white rabbit.
The other end.
Gu Lan was sitting at her desk. There was a piece of cake in front of her with fragrant cream on top. She was eating it in small bites.
Ji Huai also came over with a piece of cake, leaned against the table, took a bite, nodded and said, "It tastes good."
She nodded, thought carefully and asked, "How could Ms. Zhang Yueqing know?"
"Well..." Ji Huai thought about it carefully, "I said some time ago that I would prepare a birthday gift for you, but I didn't expect Ms. Zhang Yueqing to remember it. She has a really good memory."
After saying that, he took a fork of cherries dipped in cream and put it to her mouth, "It's quite sweet. Eat one."
Gu Lan bit into the cherry and couldn't tell how he felt.
Ji Huai knew Ms. Zhang Yueqing, so he probably told her on purpose. It was the first time that someone took her so seriously. She was a little uncomfortable and needed to digest it slowly.
"This is my gift." Ji Huai conjured a gift box out of nowhere and asked her, "Are you afraid that I will give you a ring?"
Gu Lan pretended to be calm and took the gift box. He opened the lid and said, "What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Really?" Ji Huai stretched his hand to the back of her neck and joked with a smile, "You're even sweating."
"It's hot." She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a bracelet inside. At the same time, she felt a little bit unspeakably disappointed and had an indescribable feeling.
Ji Huai didn't expose it and lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees.
Gu Lan gave him the bracelet and stretched out his hand.
He lowered his head and put it on seriously.
After putting it on, Gu Lan stood up, walked outside, walked towards Ms. Zhang Yueqing, and asked, "Is your hand feeling better?"
The other party was still wearing a thin outer robe to cover his injured hand.
Ms. Zhang Yueqing's face collapsed and she became unhappy again, "How can it be cured? It will leave scars. It is very serious, painful and itchy. I have suffered..."
Ji Huai leaned against the door, looking at Gu Lan comforting and coquettish Ms. Zhang Yueqing, with a smile on his lips.
It was indeed Gu Lan's birthday that he told Ms. Zhang Yueqing, and he also deliberately emphasized that no one would celebrate her birthday with her. She had been in an orphanage since she was a child, no one cared for her, and he wanted to accompany her.
Ms. Zhang Yueqing has been loved and loved since she was a child, and her journey has been smooth. She has a simple mind and strong empathy. At that time, her eyes almost turned red, and her compassion was overflowing.
But he didn't expect that the other party would mobilize so many people to celebrate Gu Lan's birthday.
Gu Lan said that he would go to the hospital with Ms. Zhang Yueqing in the afternoon and prescribe more medicine to try to heal better without leaving scars.
"Don't go to Hengyang Hospital." Ms. Zhang Yueqing was firm.
Gu Lan was still stunned.
She added, "That doctor is not a good person."
“…”
It was Ji Huai who sent the two of them to the hospital. Ms. Zhang Yueqing felt relieved when she saw that it was not the way to Hengyang Hospital. She looked at Gu Lan, leaned over and asked, "Have you secretly contacted that doctor behind Xiao Huai's back? "
Gu Lan: "..."
The carriage was so big, did she think Ji Huai couldn't hear her if she lowered her voice
"You can't do this." Ms. Zhang Yueqing opened her eyes wide and looked cute in her seriousness.
Gu Lan suppressed a smile and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
"That's pretty much it." Ms. Zhang Yueqing was very satisfied with her answer.
After going to the hospital, the doctor said she was recovering well and gave her a repair medicine. When she looked at the computer, she was shocked to see her age and confirmed it repeatedly.
Ms. Zhang Yueqing smiled shyly and a little shyly.
Ji Huai helps his forehead.
She took the list and whispered to the doctor, "That's my son, and that next to me is my daughter-in-law. Isn't it a good match?"
The doctor adjusted his eyes and said, "Yes, the whole family looks very good, and they stand together like sisters and brother-in-law."
This sentence greatly aroused Ms. Zhang Yueqing. The clothes and jewelry at home were no longer suitable for her, so she wanted to go shopping for clothes and asked Gu Lan to accompany her.
Ji Huai acted as a bodyguard, carrying bags from behind.
Ms. Zhang Yueqing is really a happy, carefree and simple person. As soon as she entered the mall, she naturally took Gu Lan's arm warmly and introduced the clothes she wanted to buy recently.
Gu Lan's body froze, but before he could break free, Ms. Zhang Yueqing had already seen the clothes on the model in the window on the other side, and pulled her over there, "Come on, come on, I like that dress so much~~"
Wearing high heels, she ran steadier than anyone else, her eyes always shining brightly as she stared at the dress.
Gu Lan was forced to quicken his pace, and the embarrassment that had just arisen disappeared. He accompanied her in to try on clothes.
After trying one thing after another, Ms. Zhang Yueqing looked domineering, "This, this, this, I want them all!"
"Okay, I'll hold him up for you." The shopping guide smiled like a flower.
She not only wants to buy her own, but also the ones Gu Lan has tried and seen, "Wrap them all up, I want them all!"
When asked how to pay, Ms. Zhang Yueqing took out her bag and found that she didn't bring her wallet. Gu Lan handed over a card. She stared and stepped forward to grab it.
The shopping guide was shocked.
"The big man is there." Ms. Zhang Yueqing turned around and squinted at Ji Huai, who was answering the phone with his back to them. She walked over in high heels and raised her hand to twist his ears and pull him over. "You're actually lazy, I'm going to be angry!"
Gu Lan's face also wrinkled, it must be quite painful, right
