Yanjing, Xu family.

Before the huge manor, cars were parked all over.

Countless powerful people in Yanjing City, but they were holding their wives and dressed in great clothes. They walked towards the hall under the guidance of a group of waiters.

The movements at the Xu family today are huge. The colorful flowers, fiery red carpets, and the colorful decorations in front of the courtyard make today's Xu family manor look particularly eye-catching.

The pedestrians passing by the road looked sideways, looking at the scene where guests gathered and luxury cars were all over the ground, and all the eyes of envy were revealed.

"What's wrong with the Xu family?"

"Maybe Miss Xu Er is going to get married today?"

"Isn't it December 12?"

At this time, the pedestrians on the roadside looked at the Xu family, but their eyes were full of doubts.

Many people were talking about it.

"I'll go, you don't know about such a big thing?"

"The Xu family's event today was not for Miss Xu Er."

"It's the eldest lady of the Xu family, Xu Meifeng."

"Today is the birthday party of Miss Xu's family."

"A month ago, the Xu family posted news on major media to promote it. Elites and powerful people from all walks of life were invited to attend the meeting." Inside the crowd, an insider said slowly.

What?

"Just a birthday party, such a big scene?"

"This car is a thousand meters long?"

"At least half of the powerful people in Yanjing City have arrived!"

"It's worthy of being the Xu family, the old wealthy forces in Yanjing are different."

Many people were filled with envy and emotion after learning that today was just a birthday party for the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

Many women yearn for it and think that this is life.

A birthday party is comparable to a state banquet!

Compared with others, the lives of ordinary people are really unbearable.

"But I guess the Xu family is just a gimmick when holding a birthday party. The main purpose is to choose a son-in-law for the eldest lady of the Xu family?"

"Miss Xu Er is about to get married, and Xu Meifeng, the cousin, is obviously anxious."

"But it's a pity that Miss Xu Er is such a good person, who is going to marry the second ancestor of the Xue family in the end?"

"I guess in the future, this second lady of the Xu family will be trampled by the eldest lady forever!"

Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.

Looking for a man is like a second reincarnation for a woman.

If you marry well, a native chicken can become a phoenix.

If you can't marry well, you will probably never be able to raise your head for the rest of your life.

Outside the villa, there were many passers-by watching the fun and talking.

In the Xu family hall, celebrities from all walks of life gathered together, and countless powerful people gathered together, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively. Of course, the most popular among them was the luxurious woman who looked like a canary, Xu Meifeng, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

However, when there is a bustling view downstairs, it is surprisingly quiet in a loft in the villa.

It is as prosperous as a place, but it is as deserted as autumn.

In the room, there was a beautiful and elegant woman sitting quietly in front of the window.

The sunlight outside shone faintly through the fine blinds, shining on her body, but it was filled with haze all over the ground.

Looking from a distance, the scene here is so desolate.

It's just like a forgotten corner, with flowers outside, and desolate here.

"Miss, they're going too far."

"It's obviously your birthday, but they even locked you up without asking or saying anything."

"It's so deceptive!" A sudden angry voice came from behind.

I saw Lin Wenjing coming from outside, but was full of anger and complaining to Xu Lei repeatedly.

"Mr. Xu, you don't know how lively it is outside."

"The Tang family in Shinan, the Su family in Shibei, and even the Tang family in Jinling have sent people to celebrate Xu Meifeng's birthday."

"You don't know that Xu Meifeng was proud, as if she was an imperial princess."

"She didn't think about how their current scenery came about. It was not the hard work of your parents, Miss."

"But now, not only do they not be grateful to your parents, but they have also confine themselves to the lady. Now they want to find someone to marry the lady out."

"I keep saying that I'm thinking about it for you, Miss. I think, they just want to drive you out of the Xu family as soon as possible and occupy all the Xu family's property openly."

The more Lin Wenjing thought about it, the more angry she became, and her pretty face turned red.

She has been in the Xu family for many years and is very familiar with the situation of the Xu family.

Although the Xu family is known as a century-old family, it really revived when Xu Lei's father took over the power.

Later, Xu Lei's parents passed away unexpectedly. At that time, Xu Lei was far away in Jiangdong, and the Xu family's property naturally fell into the hands of Xu Lei's second uncle.

The so-called Xu Meifeng, the eldest daughter of Xu family, is naturally the daughter of Xu Lei's second uncle.

But in Lin Wenjing's eyes, the real daughter of the Xu family has always been Xu Lei!

"Oh~"

"It's just not good if you don't have parents."

"I was suppressed and bullied in my family, so I could only swallow my anger, but I had no way to rely on it."

"Miss, don't be sad. No one will give you your birthday, I'll give it to you."

Lin Wenjing sighed, only to feel that Xu Lei was particularly pitiful.

Not only was her family business snatched, but now, the annual birthday party has been snatched by Xu Meifeng's family.

Lin Wenjing couldn't imagine how Xu Lei would walk in the future.

Both of the Xu family’s daughters were born on the same day.

Now that I have only given it to Xu Meifeng, I have completely ignored Xu Lei. Of course, Lin Wenjing feels that it is not a mistake.

While sighing, Lin Wenjing put a birthday cake on the table and lit birthday candles for Xu Lei.

Xu Lei looked at it, but she chuckled, her smile was filled with endless desolation.

"Wenjing, thank you."

"Fortunately, I have you with me over the years."

"Only you remember your birthday every year."

"If it weren't for you, I, Xu Lei, would have really become the person who was forgotten by the whole world."

Xu Lei said softly. At this time, she no longer had the majesty and power she had when she was in Yunzhou, but only had endless desolation and loneliness.

My parents passed away unexpectedly, and their family property was occupied. Now even their annual birthday has been snatched up.

Even if Xu Lei is strong, she will feel heartache and sad at this time.

In a trance, Xu Lei seemed to have seen that night at the Chu family more than ten years ago.

There was a silly boy wearing clothes cut by branches, holding two apples stolen from the tree, and giving them to her, wishing her a happy birthday.

Xu Lei still remembers that because she didn't like eating apple skin and there was no knife around her, the boy used his teeth to help her chew off the apple skin bit by bit.

Later, in order to thank him, Xu Lei also used her mouth to peel another apple for him.

After the peeling, the two of them were still eating.

I was young and ignorant at that time, but now I think about it, how ambiguous the behavior was at that time?

It seemed as if I had received countless kisses from him indirectly.

That was the first birthday gift Xu Lei received from outsiders.

It was also the first and only gift that the boy gave her!

However, after so many years, that young man had already started a family and a career.

I guess he has forgotten his birthday long ago?

He even forgot the girl who called him Brother Xiaofan back then, right?

Time changes too many things after all.

Xu Lei wants to go back to her childhood today.
