Chapter 334: Birthday Eve (2)
“Do I have the right to object?” Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu, who was smiling like a fox, and then at her parents, who looked like there was no room for discussion. Chen Meng’er lowered her head and asked Elder Liu.
“Girl, what do you think?” Elder Liu asked back.
“Okay, I got it. Then you guys can discuss it. Do whatever you want. I’ll cooperate, Okay?” Actually, when Chen Meng’er came in and saw the people sitting in the hall and her grandfather looking at her… with that smile in her eyes, Chen Meng’er knew that there was no room for change in the matter of the tenth birthday banquet. And just now, she could be considered to be unwilling to give up and was just struggling on the brink of death.
“Alright. Then this matter will be handled by us adults. Little girl, you just have to be a happy birthday girl on that day.” Elder Liu was waiting for Chen Meng’er’s words.
Chen Meng’er looked at her grandfather’s expression as if he had taken care of something big. She really wanted to disregard her image and roll her eyes. She really wanted to tell her grandfather if he could restrain his expression before saying this.!!
However, Chen Meng’er immediately felt relieved. Wasn’t it just a tenth birthday party? It wasn’t a big deal. If they wanted to mess around, then let them do it. At most, she would waste the entire day. “Then you guys can discuss it slowly. I’m going to the study.” Chen Meng’er chose to keep her eyes out of sight. They could mess around however they wanted.
Chen Meng’er thought that no matter how much they messed around at this birthday party, it would be nothing more than her parents inviting their family and friends. Her grandfather, Elder Liu, would invite someone he had a good relationship with in S City, and then he would invite someone from the Green Gang, they would go to a restaurant and have a good meal together.
Therefore, Chen Meng’er had already thought about who she could invite to make up the numbers if her grandfather, Elder Liu, asked her to invite her friends from school.
However, until Chen Meng’er’s birthday, there was still no word from her grandfather asking her to invite her classmates.
“Meng’er, this is the dress that mom made for you. What do you think?” Liu Juan held the pink princess dress that she had spent a whole day making and looked at Chen Meng’er with a hopeful expression.
Chen Meng’er looked at the princess dress with layers of lace in her mother’s hands and couldn’t help but sigh. It wasn’t that the dress wasn’t pretty. If it were anyone else, they would have praised this dress, Chen Meng’er had to admit that her mother’s craftsmanship was very good. This dress was pretty, but it was a little difficult for her to accept it. In the past few years, she often wore dresses, but this kind of princess dress with layers of lace was something that Chen Meng’er had never touched before. “Mom, can you change into another one?” Chen Meng’er discussed with her mother.
“Isn’t this dress pretty? Does Meng’er not like the dress that mom made personally?” With Liu Juan’s eyes down, Chen Meng’er did not dare to say anything to reject it.
“No, the dress that mom made is very nice,” Chen Meng’er quickly shook her head and denied.
“If that’s the case, then Meng’er, go in and put it on for mom to see.” Liu Juan had also changed over the past few years. She knew her precious daughter. She would never wear a princess dress again. What she usually wore was also some simple and generous dresses. This made Liu Juan, who had always wanted to dress her daughter up like a little princess, depressed for a long time.
It was not easy for her to get such an opportunity today, so how could she let it go?
Chen Meng’er faced her family, especially those who spoiled her unconditionally and loved her. She could not refuse them because she did not want to see their disappointed expressions. So, after Chen Meng’er sighed in her heart, she gritted her teeth, took the pink princess dress from her mother’s hand, and went to change into the dress.
Needless to say, Chen Meng’er’s current pink and delicate little face coupled with the pink princess dress made her look like one of those enlarged dolls.
Liu Juan watched her daughter Chen Meng’er change into the pink princess dress and come out. Don’t be too satisfied. “En, it’s very good. This dress suits my Meng’er very well. Then, Meng’er will wear this princess dress tonight and go to the birthday party. Meng’er won’t disagree, right?” Liu Juan’s last sentence… although it was an inquisitive tone, Chen Meng’er was sure that as long as she dared to answer the word “No”… Her mother would spend an entire day grinding her head.
“Yes.” So, Chen Meng’er could only follow her words.
After her mother, Liu Juan, got the answer she wanted, she left in satisfaction. Not long after her mother left, her grandfather came over with a few small brocade boxes.
“Meng’er.”
“Grandpa, why are you here?” Chen Meng’er saw that the Green Gang had been very busy these two days, and she was still guessing if something had happened to the Green Gang recently. So, when her grandfather, Elder Liu, appeared, she was a little surprised.
“What? Meng’er doesn’t want to see Grandfather?” Elder Liu showed a very hurt expression.
“No, I’m not thinking that grandfather is busy.” Chen Meng’er looked at her grandfather’s increasingly childish temper and felt very helpless.
“Here, this is Grandpa’s birthday present for you. Wear it for tonight’s birthday banquet. Oh, right, I still have an important birthday present for you tonight. You have to sit properly and prepare it.” Elder Liu handed the brocade box to Chen Meng’er, then, he left unhurriedly.
Chen Meng’er, who was holding the brocade box with a puzzled expression, was left behind. “What does grandfather mean? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?” Chen Meng’er held the brocade box in her hand and whispered. “Ah, I don’t want to think about it anymore. In any case, grandpa won’t harm me.” Chen Meng’er shook her head and then opened the small brocade box that Elder Liu had given her.
Inside the brocade box was a thin platinum necklace with a small star pendant on it. In the middle of the pendant was a one-carat diamond, and beside it was a small diamond. In the other brocade box was a bracelet of the same design. When Chen Meng’er saw the two sizes, she knew that it was custom-made for her.
When Chen Meng’er saw the platinum diamond necklace and bracelet, she was very surprised. She thought that with her grandfather’s age and status, if he wanted to give her jewelry, it wouldn’t be the platinum diamond that would be tidied up. It should be gold or jade.
But, no matter what, Chen Meng’er still quite liked them.
