Chapter 758 - Birthday Party (1) (2/2)
“Yeah.” Gu Yanran smiled happily and sat up in bed. “It’s almost Little Darling’s birthday. I want to host a grand birthday party for her. What do you think?”
“Really? I forget about it. I’ve been so busy lately.” Tan Dongbang also sat up and had an even better impression of Gu Yanran now. “I’m very happy you’re nice to Little Darling.”
“I know, but I want you to understand I like Little Darling because you like her. I’ll treasure everything you love.” Gu Yanran’s sweet talking was very advanced, and Tan Dongbang hadn’t felt this way for many years now. He had been married to Cai Songyin for decades, so they were already completely acquainted with each other. He no longer felt the same thrill as he did with Gu Yanran… But he also loved his daughter. She was the apple of his eye. Gu Yanran understood this well, so that’s why she was so kind to her.
Besides, Tan Guiren was just a daughter, so she would be married off with a bit of dowry when the time came. She wouldn’t get in Gu Yanran’s way at all. She knew that Tan Dongbang and Cai Songyin had tried hard to match Tan Guiren with Huo Shaoheng. Originally, Gu Yanran thought that was impossible, but knowing that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng had broken up, she suddenly felt it wasn’t that impossible, after all. Although Huo Shaoheng wasn’t interested in Gu Yanran, he treated Tan Guiren differently. Also, Gu Yanran cleary saw how he treated Tan Gurien at the airport, so Gu Yanran would completely win against Gu Nianzhi if she could get Tan Guiren to steal Huo Shaoheng and bring him over to their side.
Gu Yanran became even more friendly when she thought of this. After breakfast, she visited Tan Guiren. She was draped in a gown and sat still in front of her vanity. “Little Darling, what is it?” Gu Yanran sat by her side and smoothly brushed her hair. “It’s your birthday in two days. Your father said he’ll host a grand birthday party for you. He’ll invite all the important elites from the Imperial Capital to celebrate your birthday. What do you think?”
Tan Guiren hung her head dejectedly. “My Mommy’s trial isn’t over yet. How can I be in the mood to have a birthday party?”
“Little Darling, you can’t think that way.” Gu Yanran held her hand and urged, “You think a birthday party at the Prime Minister’s official residence is just a party? It’s also a social occasion, and many important things are decided on such social occasions. If you want your Mommy’s case to conclude quickly, then you should happily host this birthday party and then find a chance to plead to those important elites…”
Tan Guiren was convinced. “Really?”
“Of course.” Gu Yanran took her hand. “I also have news to tell you.”
“What news? Is it about my Mommy?” Tan Guiren answered instinctively.
“Well, it’s about Huo Shao.”
“Huo Shao?” Tan Guiren seem to take a long time when she heard the nickname before she suddenly understood what it meant.
“Right, I heard he broke up with his girlfriend, Gu Nianzhi.”
“How do you know?” Tan Gurien’s eyes widened.
“Gu Nianzhi told me herself. Don’t forget, Gu Nianzhi is my so-called sister.” Gu Yanran smiled faintly, an amused gleam in her eyes.
