When Su Qingsang entered the private dining room, Xiang Caiping had already been waiting for a few minutes.

Su Qingsang felt sorry. “Aunt Xiang, have you been waiting for long?”

“Don’t worry about it. Anyway, I’m elderly and have lots of free time.” Xiang Caiping was smiling as she stood up.

“Please have a seat, Aunt Xiang. We’re family after all. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

Huo Jinyao knew very well that Su Qingsang was not the type of person who needed a big group of people to be around to celebrate her birthday.

Su Qingsang nodded. The trio settled into their seats and decided on the dishes they wanted to order. The server exited the room after providing them with some beverages.

Xiang Caiping retrieved a box from her bag and placed it in front of Su Qingsang. “Qingsang, this is the birthday gift I picked out for you.”

“Thank you, Aunt Xiang.” Su Qingsang received the gift and was not in a hurry to open it. “Aunt Xiang, you don’t have to be so formal with me. You already gifted me with a birthday present this morning.”

“Did I?”

“Of course you did. That bowl of noodles was my birthday present.”

“That is too unassuming.” Xiang Caiping started gesturing to emphasize her point. “Look, in the past twenty years, I did not celebrate your birthday with you, nor did I gift you with any birthday presents. I…”

“Aunt Xiang.” Su Qingsang could not help but grab hold of Xiang Caiping’s hand. “That is all in the past. Our current relationship is all good.”

Xiang Caiping’s lips quivered. She thought of responding but somehow just felt powerless to utter any words.

Eventually, she pointed to the box. “Open it and see if what’s inside is to your liking.”

Su Qingsang opened the gift box and it revealed a set of jewelry. It consisted of a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a ring. The diamonds encrusted on the jewelry were not especially big and could not compare to the kind of jewelry with diamonds priced at tens of millions of dollars that Huo Jinyao purchased.

However, the jewelry was delicate, exquisite and exuded classic elegance. It was obvious that Xiang Caiping had put in considerable effort in picking out the gift.
