In fact, it couldn't be called a birthday party, it was just a dinner prepared at Gu Xiao's grandmother's house. Gu Xiao said that there were only the two of them, He Xihuai and his grandmother, and these were the only people close to him.
At seven o'clock, Gu Xiao sent a message, "When will you arrive?"
Wen Qiao replied: "Your brother is still in a meeting. It seems to be an important board meeting. If you are in a hurry, eat first and don't wait for us."
"It's okay, wait until you guys get together."
Wen Qiao waited for a long time, until eight o'clock, when she heard a commotion outside. Just as she was about to get up, the door of the office opened, and a group of senior executives from Fu Nanli's faction followed him, and they seemed to be still unsatisfied and wanted to continue discussing company affairs with Mr. Fu.
Fu Nanli waved his hand: "Okay, I have some personal matters to attend to, so let's stop here today."
Those people tactfully retreated quickly, and before leaving, they gave Wen Qiao a meaningful look.
Some people saw Wen Qiao for the first time. When they walked out of the door, they all whispered, "Looking like this, it's no wonder that the young master couldn't control himself."
He Yumin coughed lightly: "Don't talk about the young master in private."
Fu Nanli took Wen Qiao out of the company and headed straight for Jing'an Road. When they arrived, only Gu Xiao and his grandmother were in the room.
Wen Qiao looked around: "Didn't they say He Xihuai would come too?"
Fu Nanli narrowed her eyes. No matter whether He Xihuai was there or not, why was she asking this
"He waited for a long time, lost his patience, and left."
Wen Qiao: "I'm sorry, your brother's meeting took too long and kept you waiting."
Grandma Gu said with a smile, "It's okay, Mr. Fu's work is more important. It's okay with us. I'll heat up these meat dishes and cook some crayfish. I heard that Mr. Fu has a bad stomach, so I didn't add any chili."
Fu Nanli said politely: "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Wen Qiao placed the cake on the table: "Your brother personally ordered this cake for you."
In fact, it was Wen Qiao who ordered it, but she asked Fu Nanli for his opinion on the flavor and size. Although he seemed a little impatient on the surface, he still patiently gave her advice.
Gu Xiao's eyes lit up: "Thank you, brother."
Fu Nanli said calmly: "Happy birthday."
Gu Xiao felt a little blocked in his chest. Over the years, no one remembered his birthday. Brother Xihuai had always been a very unkind person and didn't like to celebrate birthdays, so naturally he wouldn't buy him a cake.
He should have returned home earlier, he really should have returned earlier.
Now he is surrounded by his grandmother, brother, and Wen Qiao.
Warmth, that’s all.
The birthday party was going on here in a lively atmosphere, but the huge room of the villa halfway up the mountain was completely dark. Theresa poured a glass of whiskey as he requested, pushed open the door, and some light leaked into the dark night.
"Sir, the wine you requested."
He Xihuai took the wine glass and took a sip.
Theresa hesitated and asked, "Why don't you spend the young master's birthday there?"
The man glanced at her sharply, and Theresa felt a little scared, as if she was being stabbed in the back.
"You're not doing a good job."
"Yes, sir."
"You knew I would become like that, so why didn't you follow me at all times during the celebration party?"
Theresa said in panic: "My lord asked me to go to the door and check on the car."
It was just a short while, and when she came back she couldn't find anyone anywhere.
