Chapter 312 Only Thirty (Gu Jia’s Birthday Part [-])

Early morning, Grand Hyatt Mansion, 1201.

Today is not only Gu Jia's birthday, but also the death anniversary of Gu Jia's mother. Gu Jia and his wife got up and washed up, then each put on a black formal suit.

After Xu Huanshan packed up, he saw that Gu Jia was still sorting out his clothes and couldn't help but urge:

"Honey, hurry up, time is tight!"

"Well, here we come."

Gu Jia hurriedly put on her shoulder bag, changed her shoes, and shouted to Sister Chen: "Ziyan is still sleeping, please tell him later. Huanshan, let's pick up dad first."

"Okay!" Xu Huanshan nodded and took the bag from Gu Jia's hand.

When the two of them drove to the entrance of the nursing home, Gu Jinghong had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing his father dressed in bright red, Gu Jia was surprised and said, "Dad, what day is it today? People wear black when they go to visit graves. Why are you wearing this?"

Gu Jinghong didn't take it seriously and said, "People wear black because they are afraid of being seen by little devils. If I wear black, can your mother still see it?"

"But...," Gu Jia was speechless for a moment.

"fine,"

Gu Jinghong waved his hand and said with a smile: "This bright red color is eye-catching. Mom can see it at a glance. Get in the car."

Seeing that he couldn't resist his father, Gu Jia had no choice but to get into the car.

The car drove smoothly towards the cemetery. The three of them were all thinking, but no one spoke. They were speechless all the way.

Gu Jia turned around and glanced at his father with a serious expression, and couldn't help but remember that his mother had kidney disease when he was a child, and the whole family spent a lot of money on treatment. With tears in his eyes, his mother persuaded Gu's father not to be hospitalized anymore, otherwise she was worried that Gu Jia would have no place to live in the future. His father disagreed at first, but in the end he signed the form to give up treatment for Gu Jia's sake.

At that time, Gu Jia did not understand her father's choice. For this reason, Gu Jia always hated her father. It was not until she gave birth to Xu Ziyan that she understood her mother's mood at that time. Moreover, my mother passed away many years ago, and my father has never renewed their relationship, which shows the deep affection between my parents.

After arriving at the cemetery, Gu Jia and his wife wiped their mother's tombstone, cleaned the cemetery, and paid homage.

Gu Jinghong was still tracing the words again, so he sent Gu Jia and his wife for a walk.

Walking on the path, Gu Jia felt a little heavy, and after a while he said:

"You have to understand many things as you grow older. In the first few years after my mother passed away, I actually hated my father. I just felt that my father didn't want to treat my mother in order to save money."

Xu Huanshan looked sideways at Gu Jia: "Then when did you figure it out?"

"Ever since I had Xu Ziyan and became a mother myself, I suddenly understood my parents' decision at that time."

Gu Jia sighed and said:

"Oh~, you see, after all these years, my dad still misses my mom. They have such a deep relationship. It's really hard for me to imagine how sad my dad must have been when he signed to give up the rescue...,

Later, I kept thinking that if I had not opened the car window to play, my mother would not have gotten sick, and maybe our family of three could have been happy for several years. So the happier I was, the more scared I was, because I was scared. What little things ruin all the good things..."

As he said this, the corners of Gu Jia's eyes became sore and his eyes turned red.

Xu Huanshan stopped, took Gu Jia's hand and held it in his, looked at Gu Jia affectionately, and said softly:

"You can't think like that... As long as I'm here, nothing can be destroyed. Now I know why dad has been so affectionate for being alone for so many years."

Staring into Xu Huanshan's eyes, Gu Jia felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "I didn't know about love until I looked at my parents. It's true that you only know where you meet."

"That's right," Xu Huanshan nodded and said, "With such a good role model, I can't let it go wrong. Don't we both have to be Xu Ziyan's role models? Get in good shape and welcome thirty years old beautifully."

After saying that, Xu Huanshan couldn't help but hugged Gu Jia into his arms and patted Gu Jia's back gently.

"Um,"

Gu Jia nodded and snuggled into Xu Huanshan's arms. After a long time, Gu Jia pushed Xu Huanshan away.

Walking on the grass, the two held hands tightly.

...............

Zhiyu Flower Shop.

Zhong Xiaoqin took Chen Yu to pick flowers early in the morning.

Today is the thirtieth birthday of her best friend. For Zhong Xiaoqin, she has no idea about money. She usually has a carefree personality and does not deliberately please anyone.

The two have been good friends since school, and have been best friends for more than ten years. Zhong Xiaoqin doesn't need to go out of her way to choose birthday gifts from Gu Jia, because in her opinion, their friendship is far deeper than these gifts.

More importantly, Zhong Xiaoqin will definitely give Gu Jia a gift every year on his birthday, so Zhong Xiaoqin feels that the gift for his thirtieth birthday is no different from usual.

Buying flowers also comes from the inner hope that Gu Jian can be as beautiful as the flowers and have his own style.

After choosing for a long time, Zhong Xiaoqin finally selected a bouquet of flowers that she was satisfied with. She looked at the female clerk and asked, "Are your flowers the best?"

The female clerk smiled and said, "Don't worry, the flowers we have here are all imported."

"Okay," Zhong Xiaoqin nodded: "Then I want this bunch. By the way, I also want a set of that incense."

"Okay, no problem." The female clerk smiled and wrapped the flowers.

After taking the flowers, Zhong Xiaoqin raised her head and said to Chen Yu: "Let's go to Greenland Park first and help Gu Gu decorate the scene."

Chen Yu reminded: "Today is Gu Jia's [-]th birthday, are you just going to buy flowers? Do you want to pick something else?"

"No, just flowers," Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head: "Gu Gu must like them."

"Okay, that's what you said." Chen Yu smiled and took Zhong Xiaoqin's hand: "Then let's go."

"The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..."

The phone rang. Zhong Xiaoqin handed the flowers to Chen Yu, took out the phone from the bag, looked at the caller ID, frowned, thought for a while, picked up the phone, and said calmly:

"Hello? Is something wrong?"

Zhong Xiaoyang's voice came from the phone:

"where are you?"

Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Chen Yu and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "You have something to say."

"Didn't I invite you to dinner yesterday? I made a reservation at a restaurant, the one with Hefu cuisine?"

Zhong Xiaoqin refused directly and said: "No, I have something to do tonight, you can go ahead."

"What's the matter? Isn't it a day off today?"

"It's my bestie's birthday today, you can eat."

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin hung up the phone directly.

Chen Yu asked casually: "Who is it?"

Zhong Xiaoqin curled her lips: "Colleague, a former colleague went abroad some time ago and just came back. I want to treat my colleagues to dinner."

"Oh," Chen Yu nodded and didn't take it to heart. He shook his phone and said, "Let's go to Greenland Park first. My boss is here too."

"Mr. Yi?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked curiously, "Why did he go so early?" "I don't know," Chen Yu shook his head: "It seems that he really regards Huan Shan as a friend."

"Keep your distance from him. He is a bit of a philanderer. Don't be a bad example..." Remembering what Wang Manni said, Zhong Xiaoqin frowned, stared at Chen Yu closely, and warned.

"I would like to have a relationship with him," Chen Yu said speechlessly: "Is it enough? It would be good if we can maintain the current relationship."

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to know. We don't want to be rich and powerful. There is no need to fawn over him. We can live well just to save face."

"Let's go, are you still educating me?"

Chen Yu took Zhong Xiaoqin's hand with a smile and walked towards the parking lot.

At the corner not far from the two of them, Zhong Xiaoyang stuck his head out and looked at the sweet backs of the two holding hands. His eyes were dim and unclear, and it took a long time for the bulging veins on the back of the hand holding the phone to calm down.

...............

Pacific Department Store, a jewelry store.

Wang Manni selected for a while, pointed to a diamond earring in the cabinet, and said to the clerk: "Take this out for me and take a look."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The clerk smiled and took out the diamond earrings and handed them to Wang Manni.

Wang Manni took the earrings and said to Xu Beibei who was standing aside: "Look, what do you think of this? I think it's pretty good. It's versatile."

"This is beautiful!!" Xu Beibei picked up the jewelry box and couldn't put it down when looking at the earrings. Her eyes were full of little stars. After a while, she pulled the corner of Wang Manni's clothes and whispered: "Beautiful is beautiful, isn't it? too expensive?"

After admiring the gorgeous earrings, I saw the price tag on the jewelry box: 8000 RMB. Xu Beibei was a little stunned. It was just a birthday. Do you want to give such an expensive gift?

"You think it looks good too," Wang Manni took out her bank card and said to the clerk, "Wrap it up for me."

"Ok!"

The clerk took the bank card, debited it, wrapped the jewelry box and handed it to Wang Manni.

"Who is celebrating your birthday today?" Xu Beibei asked curiously, "Why didn't I know you had such a good friend?"

Speaking of this, Xu Beibei felt a little uncomfortable. On her birthday, Wang Manni seemed to have given her an embroidered handkerchief, which cost only three or four hundred yuan.

"Well, I just met her not long ago, but she helped me a lot," Wang Manni said with a smile, "She is the resident on the [-]th floor of Junyue Mansion, named Gu Jia."

After a pause, he said with some envy: "Gu Jia is the best I can imagine for a woman in her thirties. She is wise, responsible, and experienced. In short, all kinds of beautiful words."

"real or fake?"

Having known Wang Manni for so long, Xu Beibei has never heard Wang Manni praise a woman like this: "Is she so good?"

Wang Manni smiled and nodded, and said seriously: "Gu Jia is my most admired and favorite best friend."

"Girlfriend?"

Xu Beibei looked at Wang Manni with longing in her eyes, smiled, and said no more.

For Wang Manni, Gu Jia lives in the best-located villa in Shanghai, walks among the rich, and has a successful family and career. This kind of rich, beautiful, and tasteful life has always been what Wang Manni has always dreamed of. .

She has always been very happy that she can be Gu Jia's good sister, and has always been Gu Jia's guide in fighting for herself.

Whether in the workplace or in love, Gu Jia has provided a lot of help to her, and Wang Manni has always kept this gratitude in her heart.

Therefore, Wang Manni could generously spend 8000 yuan to buy a pair of earrings for Gu Jia. Firstly, she expressed her gratitude and attention, and secondly, she hoped that she could live the same life as Gu Jia.

However, if it was the birthday of Zhong Xiaoqin, who is also a good sister, Wang Manni would never give such an expensive thing. One is unwilling to give up, and the other is not worth it. Wang Manni calculated this account clearly.

...............

Greenland Park is not far from Grand Hyatt Mansion and covers an area of ​​dozens of acres. In addition to being for tourists to visit, it also hosts various wedding banquets and parties, with Chinese style, American style, European style, and even dark Gothic style.

Today, Gu Jia's birthday party was held in the European-style area of ​​the club, and it was an open-air buffet.

When Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin rushed to the open-air venue to the east, before they even approached, they saw Xu Huanshan's family standing at the entrance to greet the guests.

Xu Huanshan changed into a silver slim-fitting suit, and Gu Jia wore a light green dress. The two stood side by side, looking very good-looking and a perfect match.

"Brother, you're here!" Chen Xu greeted Chen Yu.

"Well," Chen Yu nodded, took a few steps forward and shook hands with Xu Huanshan: "Congratulations, happy birthday!"

Zhong Xiaoqin took three steps and two steps at a time and hugged Gu Jia:

"Gu Gu~, happy birthday!"

Then he let go of Gu Jia, took the flowers from Chen Yu and handed them to Gu Jia:

"This is your birthday gift... I hope you are more beautiful than flowers."

"Thank you! Chen Xu, take it over for me." Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia smiled fondly, handed the flower to Chen Xu aside, and immediately greeted Chen Yu: "Teacher Chen, welcome, welcome! Please come inside , Mr. Yi is here too."

"Oh, okay." Chen Yu smiled, looked at Chen Xu's busy figure, and said to Xu Huanshan: "Chen Xu, this kid hasn't caused any trouble recently, has he?"

"No, Chen Xu is quite practical these days," Xu Huanshan said with a smile: "We are so familiar with each other, so I won't be polite to you. You go in and help me greet the guests."

"Where is Xu Ziyan?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked, "I'll go see my godson first."

"Inside, Mr. Yi's place. Don't tell me, Ziyan likes him quite a lot. He doesn't even want his grandfather." Gu Jia pointed to the food area of ​​the venue and said with a smile: "You guys go in."

"Okay, let's go in first." Chen Yu nodded and walked over holding Zhong Xiaoqin's hand.

The people attending the banquet today are all friends of Gu Jia and his wife, or important customers. Gu Jia invited Mrs. Wang yesterday, but Mrs. Wang didn't reply or didn't come. However, when Mrs. Wang saw Gu Jiafa's circle of friends, she brought her husband over soon, and then the other ladies also brought her. Arrive at the scene with your husband or children.

Chen Yu saw at a glance that in the middle of the crowd, Yi Huawei was holding Xu Ziyan, feeding Xu Ziyan snacks, chatting with his wife and a few couples, and greeting guests from time to time, looking at ease. .

"Hello, Mr. Yi!"

Just when Chen Yu was hesitant to go up and say hello, Zhong Xiaoqin let go of his hand and hurried over and snatched Xu Ziyan from Yi Huawei's hand: "Let me hug you, Ziyan, do you want to be your mother?" ?”

"Think!" When Xu Ziyan saw it was Zhong Xiaoqin, he didn't resist. He put his arms around Zhong Xiaoqin's neck and said sweetly: "I was still thinking about you just now."

"Haha~," Zhong Xiaoqin wiped the cake foam from the corners of Xu Ziyan's mouth, and kissed Xu Ziyan's cheeks proudly: "You guys chat, I will take Xu Ziyan over there to play with the children for a while."

"You go ahead, be careful not to fall." Yi Huawei smiled and stood up and said to several people, "I'm going to wash my hands while you chat."

After sitting here for more than an hour, talking nonsense to Mrs. Wang and others, the muscles on his face became a little stiff with laughter.

"Okay, let's chat later!" Wang Yanbing, Mrs. Wang's husband, responded with a smile, then stood up and said to the couples in the wife's circle: "After chatting for so long, I'm thirsty. Let's go have a drink while we're at it. Let’s talk over a drink.”

"OK,"

Several people agreed and followed Wang Yanbing as they stood up and walked towards the drinking area.
