Chapter 435: Clearly bullying
“Auntie Fang, do you think we should invite a lot of people to brother Yingluo’s birthday party? You can also keep in touch with your relatives and friends?”
Lin Miao was fiddling with the decorations for the birthday party while politely asking Li Jingjing’s stepmother, Fang Ling, for advice.
Fang Ling understood Li Jingjing’s personality. Although they had never been close, they still maintained a good relationship on the surface.
“I don’t think it’s necessary. It’ll be more chaotic with more people, and it’ll be difficult to achieve your goal. Besides, Yingluo doesn’t like noisy and lively environments.”
“That makes sense. Alright then, let’s decorate the house more heartwarming and let him feel the warm atmosphere. We’ll also invite my parents over so that the two families can have a meal together. ”
Fang Ling nodded in agreement.
The two families were neighbors. They weren’t far from each other, but in recent years, Lin Miao’s parents had lived in the city most of the time, only going back to their hometown occasionally.
It was a good opportunity for the two families to meet and chat.
Lin Miao’s thoughts weren’t that simple. She had already told her parents that they would definitely confirm their relationship at Li Jingjing’s birthday banquet.
As long as it was brought up in a formal setting and both parents agreed first, he would see how Li Jingjing could object.
Could it be that he would throw a tantrum and complain in front of his parents? Moreover, there was an old man in his eighties at the scene.
Lin Miao had already felt a sense of crisis when she saw how ordinary Chi Luoxi and Li Jingjing’s interactions had been recently.
She wanted to use this method to force a confession out of Li Jingjing so that she could quickly confirm her relationship with Li Jingjing, or her future position in the Li family.
......
As for how their relationship would develop in the future, it would depend on his own efforts.
Li Jingjing was still in a meeting when her phone vibrated. It was a call from her father.
Li Jingjing was shocked to see her father’s phone number. Her father rarely called her. Did something happen at home? Is Grandpa alright?
He immediately walked to the door of the conference room and answered the phone. He heard his father’s voice on the other side of the phone.
“Hello, Yingluo, I have something to tell you.”
Li Jingjing said directly,”
“What happened?”
“Oh, it’s fine at home. Don’t worry. I’m talking about next week. I’m telling you in advance. You have to come back for the event.”
Li Jingjing could tell from the phone that her father was getting old, and his voice had become old and weak. He was no longer as concise as before.
“Dad, I’m in a meeting right now. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If it’s not important, I’ll call you later.”
“It’s important, it’s important. Just a few words. Come back to the old house next week to celebrate your 30th birthday!”
After saying this, his father didn’t even say goodbye and hung up the phone.
Li Jingjing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. What kind of important thing was this?
He was a grown man who was neither young nor old. Why would he celebrate his birthday at the old residence? there was no need to make it so Grand and troublesome.
Li Jingjing immediately turned around and returned to the meeting room.
Back in the office, Li Jingjing opened the calendar and checked. It was her birthday next Sunday. She was already 30 years old this year.
Thirty years old was the age to start a family and career, but now he was still single.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Jingjing’s face.
So be it. This was probably grandpa’s idea. The old people always paid attention to many customs, saying that birthdays on the 10th day were considered big birthdays and that they had to celebrate them well in order to be more successful and prosperous.
He could also take this opportunity to bring Chi Luoxi back to meet her family and let them get to know each other.
