The movement of the two quickly attracted the attention of others. The big cake occupied a very obvious position in the center of the living room. If the two wanted to do something with it, it would be difficult to escape the eyes of others.
Mother Fang came over quickly: "Yanyan, what are you doing?"
Fang Yan shyly hid behind Gu Rong.
Fang's mother's eyes fell on the big cake, combined with the cake knife held by her youngest son, she froze for a moment, and quickly realized: "Does Yanyan want to cut the cake?"
Fang Yan nodded embarrassedly.
"Mom forgot." Mother Fang said softly, "Then Yan Yan, do you want to blow out the candles?"
Fang Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded quickly.
Fang's mother asked the servants to bring candles, put them on the cake, and lit it with a lighter as high as the child could get. Hearing that the cake was about to be cut here, the guests quickly ended their conversation and gathered around here.
The lights in the house were turned off one after another, leaving only a few small dim lights on, in case the guests could not see the way. The candles on the big cake were the brightest place. The candlelight shrouded the child in a layer of brilliance. His eyes were sparkling, full of uncontrollable excitement and excitement. Even in a dim environment, he could Especially obvious.
Fang Ke casually opened the music software on his phone, found a happy birthday song and played it.
Cake, candles, presents, and a happy birthday song. Fang Yan closed his eyes, and made several wishes on the cake as he remembered. Then he carefully blew out the candle.
The lights crackled on again.
After Fang Yan took the cake knife and made the first cut, the cake knife was taken by the butler. The fondant figurine on the top of the cake belonged to Fang Yan, and was assigned to the children first. Gu Rong stood Next to it, I was fortunate to be given a piece of "vegetable field" cake.
This is probably the first cake to be cut on the spot at a birthday party. Gu Rong thought to himself.
The remaining cakes were also distributed to the guests present. The cake was custom-made by a famous cake shop. It looks good and tastes delicious. The ladies all forgot about dieting and losing weight for a while, and they were full of praise for the cake.
After blowing out the candles and cutting the cake, Fang Yan finished what he wanted to do, and returned to the corner with the plate. Gu Rong thought about it and followed.
At the lively birthday party, the two sat side by side in the resting position, eating the cake in a serious manner. Gu Rong didn't like these sweet and greasy things at first, but he didn't bother to eat all day in order to plan to run away from home, so he actually ate more than Fang Yan at this time.
"By the way, Brother Gu, how are you preparing for Grandpa Gu's surprise?" The child looked up at him: "Why did Brother say you ran away from home?"
Gu Rong paused, cursing inwardly: That guy Fang Ke talks to his brother about everything.
He put down the plate, and said nonsense solemnly: "I didn't run away from home. It was to prepare a surprise for my grandpa, but you know, things like surprises can't be known to my grandpa. In order to hide it from him, I can only tell myself He ran away from home."
And his plan to run away from home was discovered because of the child in front of him, and he was also labeled as defrauding the child of money.
How could he look like someone who would cheat children out of money? ! Gu Rong was furious.
Now that the plan has failed, the old man will definitely tighten his supervision on him. Maybe it will be difficult for him to go out in the future, let alone run away from home. He asked the child to borrow money, and he didn't know how to return it to him... Gu Rong paused for a moment, then moved his hand to the side, only to find that his bag had been taken away by the old man, and he brought the piggy bank with him. Did not return.
"Sorry, Yanyan, I may have to pay you back next time."
The child was at a loss: "Didn't Brother Gu say he would borrow it for a year?"
He dug into his pocket and found the IOU that Gu Rong had written to him, with the time written in black and white. "Brother Gu, look, the time has not yet come, and a day has not passed."
Gu Rong was helpless.
The plan to run away from home has failed, so what's the use of this money? Maybe he will be sent to the training camp by the old man soon, let alone the stock market, he won't even be able to touch the computer.
Gu Rong simply changed the topic directly, and talked about other things with the child. Children are very forgetful, so they quickly forgot about it.
The birthday party was very lively and ended very early. As soon as the child appeared sleepy, Fang's father and mother immediately smiled and expressed the meaning of the end of the party. When everyone left one after another, the child was already so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes in the arms of his mother.
Gu Rong also followed the old man back home.
They lived in the same community, and they didn't even need to drive the car. The old man walked in front with a cane, and he followed behind, quietly, without saying a word.
The old and the young were silent one after another. They walked for a long distance, and the road was quiet, only the lights of the street lights on both sides of the road were bright, which probably prevented Gu Rong from losing sight of his grandfather who was walking in front.
He bowed his head and said nothing, not knowing how to speak.
It was the old man who gave in first.
"That's all you want to do... What kind of business?"
Gu Rong's eyes lit up, he quickly raised his head, and said with certainty: "Yes."
"What's so good about doing business?" The old man said bluntly, "Our family is not short of money. We are alive, so what is the use of money?"
"Grandpa, you can't say that." Gu Rong chased after him and walked side by side with him: "Do you think the Fang family is also in business? Fang Ke will inherit the family business in the future, and you have praised him before." , don't you want your grandson to become as powerful as him?"
The old man blew his beard and stared: "I also let you inherit the family business, why don't you listen?!"
"Grandpa, you know, I don't want to do this. You see, I usually invest like Fang Ke, and I have made a lot of money. Don't need Fang Ke, your grandson is the material, and I believe that I will be able to do the same in the future." Go high, go far, grandpa, why can't you let me try?"
"What's wrong with inheriting my position? That's a matter of defending the country, and you've done a good job." The old man didn't understand: "Look, every time I throw you into the training camp, why don't you Aren’t you the one with the best grades this time? Of all my old friends, none of their grandchildren can compare to yours. Your investment is not bad, but your aptitude is not bad. Everyone tells me that you are a good material , if you practice hard, you will definitely go further than your father in the future, what's wrong with that? You have to do some business."
Gu Rong was silent for a while.
He added: "Grandpa, do you know? In fact, sometimes, I envy Yan Yan."
The old man was puzzled: "What?"
"He can do whatever he wants, even if everyone is laughing at Yanyan behind his back, Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang have no objection, let him farm at home, and bought him a botanical garden, what Yanyan does, Both Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang agreed and made preparations for Yanyan's future career."
"That's because their family has Fang Ke!"
"But Grandpa, why don't you let me try it?" Gu Rong begged, "I also want to be like Yanyan and do what I like."
The old man was stunned for a moment.
He looked at his grandson for a long time, and his figure seemed to have aged all of a sudden.
