Chapter 919 Tomb Raider Notes 7
The two returned to their residence not far away; they had just come back from running errands.
Unexpectedly, just as I was about to reach my doorstep, I witnessed Gu Wusi throwing her high heels at someone.
Then, after watching for a while, the shoe flew towards them.
*
The following afternoon, just an hour after Gu Wusi finished eating.
After she had washed herself clean, she was made to sit in front of the dressing table to have her hair and makeup done.
She would have to spend several hours getting ready for the birthday party that evening.
Her long hair was neatly braided and pinned up at the back of her head, and her face was made up with appropriate makeup that accentuated her best features.
The jewelry that Grandma Gu chose for her, the necklace and earrings, also had sparkling diamonds, which matched the nude halter-neck dress perfectly.
Although they are all bright, the styles are neither flashy nor tacky.
"Happy birthday, Auntie." Gu Yunchuan rushed back early today.
He came in carrying a bouquet of flowers and an exquisite gift box.
"Thanks, nephew." Gu Wusi's words were enough to make people laugh.
It's mainly older people of the same age who call out to you, and it does sound a bit funny.
"Yun Xiao just called me and said she'll arrive twenty minutes after the banquet starts, and asked me to tell you, Aunt."
"Tell her she doesn't need to rush. I know she means well."
"Grandpa told me to go downstairs to greet the guests, Auntie, take your time."
Gu Yunchuan barely said two words before answering a phone call and leaving.
Gu Wusi waved his hand: "Go ahead."
She's definitely going to be the grand finale tonight, waiting for the old folks to come and pick her up.
Downstairs in the banquet hall, crystal chandeliers cascaded down from the ceiling, scattering countless points of light across the floor.
Guests dressed in elegant attire strolled among the guests, their laughter and conversations mingling with the gentle melodies played by the band.
The air was filled with the subtle aroma of champagne and the sweet scent of pastries, with waiters occasionally moving gracefully through the space.
At this moment, Gu Wusi appeared arm in arm with Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, and the room instantly fell silent as all eyes turned to the three of them.
Upon stepping onto the stage, Old Master Gu spoke first with a smile on his face.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my daughter Wusi's birthday party..."
After the official statement was finished, Gu Wusi cooperated by cutting a three-tiered cake, and then began to move around freely.
She took a glass of champagne and followed her family to greet several elders.
Gu Yunxiao also arrived at halftime.
She hugged Gu Wusi tightly: "Auntie, happy birthday! May you be happy every day and stay eighteen forever."
"Thank you, I've become an old monster every year since I turned eighteen."
Eighteen is not certain, but staying the way she is now is still acceptable.
However, we still need to investigate his background; being eighteen isn't all that wonderful.
"Auntie, why don't you do things the usual way? You shouldn't like hearing this kind of talk."
"Your aunt is only in her early twenties, I don't care that much about whether I'm eighteen or not, okay?"
"Okay, then I wish you endless money, a lifetime of food and clothing, and that everything is done for you without lifting a finger."
"That's pretty much it."
As the two were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard someone chuckle.
They turned around and saw Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu.
Since the two of them came to Gu Wusi's birthday party, they naturally had to come and greet the main character.
"Happy birthday, Gu Wusi. Your niece has already sent so many birthday wishes, so I'll just add to them."
Huo Xiuxiu still had a smile on her lips; it was she who had just laughed.
Xie Yuchen smiled and clinked glasses with Gu Wusi, saying, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you."
Seeing that they knew each other, Gu Yunxiao greeted Gu Wusi and went to chat with her close friends on the side.
Huo Xiuxiu asked, "You didn't take what happened at the orphanage to heart, did you?"
"What is it?" Gu Wusi raised an eyebrow.
"No...it's all in the past. This is my birthday present for you."
Seeing that she didn't take it to heart, Huo Xiuxiu decisively changed the subject and handed over a small box.
"Did you give it to me?"
Aside from the different family members, the gifts from guests at a typical birthday party are all placed in one place.
"Yes, it's a personal gift to you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi glanced at her again, and seeing the sincerity in her eyes, she accepted it nonetheless.
"When is your birthday? I'll prepare a gift for you then."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiuxiu quickly said, "Then let's exchange contact information, and I'll let you know later."
"My phone isn't with me."
"And your number? Let me write it down."
I saw the sincerity and earnestness in her eyes as she asked the question.
Gu Wusi: "...The number is ********"
"If you don't mind, how about I give you my contact information?" Xie Yuchen suddenly took out his phone and spoke up.
Gu Wusi shrugged and said indifferently, "Do as you please."
As they were talking, Gu Yunchuan walked over.
He clearly knew Xie Yuchen; in fact, the two had discussed collaboration.
So, as they were talking, they went to the side to discuss their business.
Huo Xiuxiu then asked Gu Wusi, "Wusi, is it okay for me to call you that? Can I ask you to go shopping or have dinner together sometime?"
"What do you usually like to do?" Gu Wusi didn't say whether it was okay or not.
"Me? I usually help my grandma with some chores at home, or I study antiques, or I play with my little brother Xiaohua."
She told the truth, except for not mentioning her secret investigation of the family.
After listening, Gu Wusi began to talk about his own story.
“Your daily routine sounds like you’re always doing serious things, while I usually just eat, drink, have fun, play with cats and dogs, or get into fights and cause trouble. Are you sure you want to get close to me?”
You should know that, apart from the original owner's cronies and like-minded people, there were no other connections.
The other rich kids didn't really like them.
They were considered unambitious, idle, and typical spoiled brats.
"Fighting is fine, I'm pretty good at it too." Huo Xiuxiu didn't care about what she said at all.
After several encounters, she felt that Gu Wusi was not an annoying person; on the contrary, she wanted to get close to him.
Okay, so saying that didn't deter anyone.
"Next time we contact each other, I'll go and say hello to the others."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll contact you."
Gu Wusi made an excuse to leave and slipped away to sit on the sofa in the second-floor lobby.
Before long, several familiar friends came over.
Ye Bing came up with a smile and sat down next to her: "Wu Si, happy birthday. Remember to look at the gift I gave you."
"Wusi, happy birthday!" Wang Guiluo also came over.
The three of them sat on a sofa. They had come with their families today and were all dressed in formal attire, looking quite presentable.
He was nothing like his usual unreliable self.
"Gu Wusi, happy birthday." The remaining people, both men and women, all offered their blessings.
"I appreciate everyone's kind wishes. I'll open the gifts when I get back," Gu Wusi replied.
