When Li Xinyuan stepped into the lobby on the 70th floor again, Li Yinian was opening gifts.
There was a mountain of gifts on the table in front of her.
On the empty table next door, three gifts were placed alone.
Looking at his name floating above the table, could it be for him?
Three servings!
Besides the boss, who else would give me a gift?
Cousin Li Yilan is one of them, who else is there?
Father Li, Mother Li and others stood between the two tables with forced smiles on their faces.
Li Xinyuan felt funny.
It would be embarrassing for them to have few gifts, but it would be embarrassing for them to have only three gifts.
After all, this meant that few of their family members gave themselves gifts on such an important coming-of-age ceremony.
The gifts on Li Yinian's table made a strong ironic contrast.
As soon as he saw him coming, Li Yijing grinned, walked to the table, picked up one of the three gifts and handed it to her: "Happy birthday."
I didn't expect that this kid would give me a gift, and I wasn't afraid that the family would be unhappy.
"Thank you." While thanking him, he opened the gift box according to the custom here.
It is a brooch made of sapphire.
"What a beautiful brooch. Thank you for the gift. I like it very much."
Li Yilan on the side saw this and picked up a gift on the table and handed it to her: "Happy birthday."
Li Xinyuan opened it as usual, and it was something she didn't recognize.
I thanked him as usual and expressed my gratitude and love.
Qing Mimi took a second look: it looked a bit like a mobile phone, except that Interstellar didn't need a mobile phone at all.
Alas, I haven’t touched my phone for a long time, and I really miss it.
Looking at the remaining gift, she was a little curious about what the boss had given her and what he had given Li Yinian.
Unexpectedly, another person picked up the gift: "Happy birthday, I hope you like it."
It's Li Yili.
Speaking of which, this is also her cousin.
Are they just familiar with each other? Except for the family dinner she had just returned to Li's house, they sat together and ate together. The only intersection was that he sold his school place to his sister at a high price, and the price was ridiculously high, and they took the initiative to pay for it.
When I opened the gift box, I saw that it was not very outstanding, but a very beautiful dress.
"This skirt is so beautiful. Thank you so much. I like it very much." The skirt is really beautiful, and it looks very expensive at first glance.
So none of these three gifts were given by the boss?
Not far from them, many people were paying attention to this side. After all, the proportion of gifts on both sides was so different that they couldn't help but pay attention.
"I didn't expect that the Li family's own daughter would end up in such a miserable state."
"That's right, she is my biological daughter after all. On her birthday, only one child remembered to buy her a gift."
"Perhaps someone has given it to me at home."
"The more gifts girls receive in public, the more valuable they are, and the more honorable they are, which means the higher the value. They give them away quietly at home after they are full."
"That's right. When I read it to Li Yi just now, the four brothers of the Li family were the first to take out the gift."
"This biological daughter is so pitiful."
"It's not so much pitiful as it is that she is so useless. After all, she is her own blood, and she can't even do it to her adopted daughter. If she can't do it, forget it, and she still ends up in such a miserable situation, making the whole family dislike her. Could it be that she is really bad? Bad is bad!"
"It makes sense. After all, if a person doesn't like her, it can be said to be a bad temperament. There are not many people in the family who like her. It may indeed be her problem."
"Okay, don't talk too much about other people's affairs, so as not to offend others."
Li Xinyuan didn't care what others said, but looked around.
Where's the boss? Why didn't you see it?
Compared to Li Xinyuan's indifference, Li's father and Li's mother listened to everyone's discussion, and their expressions became even more ugly.
Father Li indeed forgot to buy a gift for his daughter.
The other brothers actually remembered it, but they selectively forgot it. I thought that other people would buy it anyway, so it didn't matter if I was missing one, but I didn't expect to open the sunroof this time.
Mother Li took a deep breath, suppressed the embarrassment on her face, and used her brain to instruct people outside to prepare five gifts and deliver them as quickly as possible.
At this time, a waiter came in holding a gift box.
Mother Li thought it was a gift she had prepared for her. Although she was surprised that it was delivered so quickly, she was ready to pick it up without hesitation.
I felt a little unhappy.
He didn't secretly give it to himself first.
Why are you so ignorant, taking it in front of so many people? Doesn't this make it obvious that it is a temporary preparation?
Unexpectedly, the waiter came directly to Li Xinyuan's table.
"Ms. Li Xinyuan, happy birthday. Someone outside has sent you a gift. Please check it."
Mother Li paused halfway, then turned around and walked to Li Xinyuan's table, pretending to be nonchalant.
With a gentle and loving smile, he said: "Is this a gift from your friend? Why didn't anyone come over?"
She didn't even know who gave it to her, and she didn't know what to say.
Look at the name of the gift giver on this gift box.
Wu Xianyun.
Thanks to my super memory, I thought about it for a while and figured out who this person was.
I'm not familiar with her, I should say I've never met her in person. She's a teacher in school. During the Trial Star, she had a robot deliver medicine to the students she protected.
I think it must have attracted some people's attention when I posted it in a group just now.
Just like some major mobile phone operators in the past, they would send blessing messages to customers on their birthdays, and some would also remind customers of birthday messages for their friends on their phones.
"It's a friend of mine from college. I didn't tell her that today was my birthday. I probably found out by accident that I couldn't be there because I wasn't prepared." This was an explanation to everyone why the person didn't come even though there were only gifts. No. People didn't pay attention to her, but she didn't inform others at all.
"Why didn't you tell your friends about such a big coming-of-age ceremony? It's so rude." Mother Li scolded softly with a bright smile, looking very affectionate.
Li Xinyuan lowered her head to open the gift and casually replied: "I thought it was just my family having a meal together, but I didn't expect it would be so grand and invite so many people." She was not lying about this, she really thought it was just the Li family. Sit down and invite a few relatives and friends to celebrate lively together.
Please forgive her limited knowledge. How can this be a birthday party? This is clearly a power trade fair held under the name of a birthday party, a business exchange meeting plus a blind date banquet.
She had only seen it on TV in the past.
But as soon as she said these words, the people around her immediately thought a lot.
I don’t even know whether to have a banquet or not for my coming-of-age ceremony!
This time everyone looked at the Li family in the wrong way.
To what extent does this need to be ignored and excluded, so that the protagonist of the banquet will not talk about it without a gift, and he will not even know whether he can hold a banquet!
"No matter how disgusted the child is, he won't ignore it to this extent. It's just a matter of words."
"It's really too much. Think about it, if they don't have a coming-of-age ceremony for their adopted daughter, they might not remember that their biological daughter has become an adult."
No matter how useless or unlovable their children are, they don't behave like this. Even if they really forget, the butler or smart butler at home will remind them and even help them prepare.
Even without this, it can be seen that even the servants and smart housekeepers at home can completely ignore this child.
The boss Li Xinyuan was looking for was currently sitting in the lounge at the back, and the ancestor of the Li family stood respectfully behind him waiting.
