The family of three then shared the cake, but the cake was not small and the three of them could not finish it, so they put the rest in the refrigerator to eat later.
"I didn't expect my daughter has a talent for baking cakes." Father Shu said happily while eating the cake.
"Follow me, I have good hands-on skills." Shu's mother was very proud.
"Yes, yes, the good things are up to you, madam, and the bad things are up to me." Shu's father agreed hurriedly, not daring to argue with his wife at all.
Shu Shichu, who was listening at the side, could not help laughing. To be honest, Shu's father and mother had always had a good relationship and had been the same for decades. They even rarely quarreled. When Shu's mother gave birth to the original owner, she almost lost her life due to dystocia. Shu's father was terrified and got a sterilization without saying a word, so as not to let Shu's mother take the risk of pregnancy and childbirth again.
It is a pity that such a loving couple had to leave their hometown in their later years because of their daughter's affairs. They had to leave their familiar environment and adapt to the unfamiliar life with difficulty to take care of their daughter who suffered from depression. From then on, there was no more scene of the happy family of three.
Fortunately, the original owner had just graduated from college and joined Feng Rui's company as a low-level employee. She hadn't had time to act out of self-love and "stick to" Feng Rui or to have a tacit understanding with Feng Rui. So for now, only the original owner's parents knew that their daughter liked Feng Rui... Maybe Feng Rui knew it too, but he didn't say it, so Shu Shichu pretended that he didn't know.
Therefore, as long as Shu Shichu stops the loss in time, everything will be in time.
"Feng Rui! You have looked at the door several times. What's wrong? Is it possible that the person you are thinking about hasn't come yet?" A friend said to Feng Rui jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense, she's just a neighbor's sister." Feng Rui glanced at his friend indifferently and said.
In the original world's plot, Feng Rui introduced the original owner to his friends at this birthday party. This was one of the reasons why the original owner misunderstood that he had feelings for her. She thought that if he was willing to introduce his friends to her, it meant that he treated her differently. So when Feng Rui's friends took the cake she had worked so hard to make and threw it around and played with it, even though she felt distressed, she endured it and did not stop them.
"Oh... the neighbor's sister..." After hearing this, the friend immediately winked at Feng Rui and said exaggeratedly, "Childhood sweethearts!"
"Don't use your dirty thoughts to taint the relationship between me and her. We don't have the kind of relationship you think. She just graduated from school. Don't scare her." Feng Rui also argued seriously.
"Okay, okay, your relationship is the purest!" Seeing this, the friend couldn't continue to tease, so he continued, "Then why hasn't your neighbor's sister come yet? Otherwise, you can call and ask? Maybe she got lost on the way."
After hearing this, Feng Rui actually left the private room and went to the corridor to call Shu Shichu.
Shu Shichu was still watching TV and chatting with his parents. When he saw his call, he hesitated for a moment, but still answered it.
"Shi Chu, why haven't you arrived yet?" Feng Rui's low voice came from the phone.
Shu Shichu replied calmly: "Brother Rui, I'm so sorry, something happened at home and I can't attend your birthday party. You and your friends should have fun."
Feng Rui paused, remained silent for a while, and then whispered: "Then you should take care of your family affairs."
"Yeah, Brother Rui, happy birthday to you!" Shu Shichu thought that he had to maintain superficial friendliness, so he congratulated him verbally. As for birthday gifts or something, that was unnecessary.
"Thank you." Feng Rui thanked him, and soon someone came out to find him, so he hung up the phone naturally.
He had just hung up the phone, and he had an illusion of loss, as if he had lost something. But his friend's voice calling him again quickly dispelled this feeling, so he put the phone back in his pocket and went into the private room.
Although Feng Rui looks aloof and unapproachable, he actually has no problems with interpersonal relationships, otherwise he would not have been so successful at work, and few people around him, whether colleagues or clients, dislike him.
So there were a lot of people attending his birthday party this time, and it was so lively that Feng Rui soon forgot about Shu Shichu.
This time there was no cake brought by Shu Shichu, but they quickly ordered a big cake for themselves. Because the cake was so big and durable, they had more fun.
It can be seen that the existence of the original owner is actually dispensable.
After Shu Shichu hung up the phone, Shu's mother immediately stared at her and asked, "Did Feng Rui call?"
"Yes, it was his birthday party, but I said I had something to do at home, so I didn't go." Shu Shichu nodded.
"Since you no longer have feelings for him, it's better not to go. Keep your distance to avoid misunderstandings from outsiders." Shu's father nodded in agreement.
"Where are they having the party? I saw Feng Rui's mother this morning and she said she was on a business trip..." Mother Shu felt a little strange as she spoke, "Why is she going on a business trip on her son's birthday?"
Shu Shichu found the reason from the original owner's memory, because Feng Rui's mother's attitude towards Feng Rui was a mixture of love and hate. The love naturally came from the love for her own son; the hate was because when she was pregnant with Feng Rui, Feng's father cheated on her, so she took her anger out on Feng Rui, believing that it was his appearance that caused her husband to cheat and caused her to be abandoned before she even left the confinement period, so she never celebrated her son's birthday.
In this contradictory mental state, Feng's mother's attitude towards Feng Rui has always been cold. She can remain normal when facing outsiders, but when there are no outsiders, she turns to cold violence against Feng Rui. This is also the reason why Feng Rui has always been so "cold".
In the original world's plot, the original owner was not aware of the gap in the hearts of the mother and son at the beginning. When she went to take care of Feng's sick mother, she kept saying good things about Feng Rui and praised how outstanding he was outside. And after she realized the conflict between the mother and son, she spared no effort to eliminate the gap between them and acted as a lubricant between the two. Over time, the mother and son were really relieved and reconciled.
Mother Feng was very grateful to the original owner for letting her let go of her worries and reconcile with her son. She also stated more than once that she would accept the original owner as her daughter-in-law. So the naive original owner really treated Mother Feng as her own mother from then on. Even Mother Shu had never been served so carefully by her.
But what does it matter? When Feng Rui fell in love with the boss's daughter, Feng's mother never mentioned the idea of letting the original owner be her daughter-in-law. She happily accepted the white, rich and beautiful young lady as her future daughter-in-law, and received her attentively and carefully when she came to visit.
He also hinted that the original owner should keep her distance from Feng Rui, so as not to let her future daughter-in-law misunderstand...
As expected, she and Feng Rui are mother and son. They are both ungrateful and ungrateful.
