As the housekeeper exclaimed to Yun Xi about her birthday, everyone else in the dining room looked at Yun Xi.

Liang Xiuqin hadn’t remembered her birthday at all, and Yun Yuanfeng didn’t remember anything. Upon hearing what the housekeeper had said, embarra.s.sment appeared on his face.

“Yun Xi, tell Dad what birthday gift you would like for your birthday today.”

Yun Xi looked at Yun Yuanfeng. Since he had spoken, she wasn’t going to pa.s.s this up.

“Dad, I haven’t thought about it yet, so can I talk to you after I think about it?”

“Okay, no problem!” Yun Yuanfeng readily responded.

If it hadn’t been for her helping him out during the investigation into his work, the whole family would be out on the streets now.

Thinking of the manager who had been suspended, he felt lucky to have such a daughter.

Her mother, however, didn’t say a word. She got up to get a cup of soy milk for Yun Ziling, as if she hadn’t even heard their conversation.

Her grandfather found this behavior from her mother unbearable, and he took out the red envelope he had prepared earlier.

“Yun Xi, this is your first birthday since you’ve come back. Grandpa wishes you a happy birthday and that everything goes well.”

Her grandfather’s congratulatory message was very subtle and thoughtful, so Yun Xi happily took the red envelope.

But as soon as the old man gave out the red envelope, someone at the table was unhappy.

Glaring at Yun Xi enviously, Yun Ziling looked at the thick 100-yuan red envelope with jealousy and then complained to the old man.

“Grandpa, you are so biased toward her. You never give me red envelopes on my birthday.”

The old man snorted coldly. “For your birthday, doesn’t your mother always prepare a birthday cake for you and a delicious feast as well? This is your sister’s first birthday since she’s come back. Can you compare how you’re treated with her?”

Yun Chuhan, who was equally aggrieved, couldn’t help but interject when she heard this.

“Yes! Second sister, mother carefully prepares a cake and gifts for you every birthday. Does mother even acknowledge me and big sister’s birthdays? She probably doesn’t even remember at all, does she? Grandpa gave our eldest sister a red envelope for good luck, and even this makes you envious.”

Yun Chuhan’s tone was full of bitterness. On the surface, she was scolding Yun Ziling. In reality, she was complaining about her mother’s partiality while mocking Yun Xi and herself.
