Chapter 556 Let's be good friends in the next life

Meng Xiaokai brushed Chen Ziqi's hand away and rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you say that yourself when you got drunk during the last holiday?"

Chen Ziqi pressed his head down and asked in a low voice, "Me...did I?"

"Yes, I did." Meng Xiaokai pouted. "I should have recorded it for you that day."

Chen Ziqi suddenly felt a little flustered, "This can't be recorded."

At this moment, Fu Xiaoxiao came over and greeted them, "Hi, we meet again."

"Hello~" Meng Xiaokai stood up and waved to her.

Chen Ziqi found his tone strange and nudged him in the waist with his elbow.

Meng Xiaokai exaggeratedly clutched the spot where he had been bumped, "Seriously, Ziqi? We're brothers, can't we even exchange a simple greeting?"

"You..." Chen Ziqi's face turned red with anger. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

After saying that, he stood up, smiled at Fu Xiaoxiao, and nodded to Fu Xiaohang behind her, "Hello."

Fu Xiaoxiao introduced, "This is my younger brother, Fu Xiaohang."

"So it's your younger brother." Meng Xiaokai warmly extended his hand to him. "Hello, I'm Meng Xiaokai, Jiang Yuan's colleague."

“Then I’ll call you Brother Kai.” Fu Xiaohang shook hands with him, then looked at Chen Ziqi, “Brother Ziqi, we meet again.”

After saying that, he sat down next to Xiao Xu and said, "Sister Xu, you look even more beautiful today."

Xiao Xu chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You're handsome too."

Fu Xiaohang raised an eyebrow and made a gesture of smoothing his hair. "You noticed. I dressed up carefully today."

Meng Xiaokai blinked and asked in surprise, "You all know each other?"

"I saw him when we were on a mission before," Xiao Xu explained.

Meng Xiaokai nodded. "I see. I thought you were meeting secretly behind my back."

"How is that possible?" Chen Ziqi secretly glared at him again.

Zhou Shuyu and Wei Fangfei arrived at the same time and met in the elevator.

Once everyone had arrived, Jiang Yuan asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Wei Fangfei was eating appetizers and chatting with Zhou Shuyu when her phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.

The caller ID showed Meng Zhiwei.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call," Wei Fangfei said, getting up and walking to a corner of the private room to answer the phone. "Weiwei."

"Fangfei, where are you?" Meng Zhiwei asked on the other end of the phone.

Wei Fangfei was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Weiwei, where are we going?"

"I sent you a WeChat message, didn't you see it?"

"No, I haven't checked my phone. What did you send?"

"Today is Lanlan's birthday party, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten." Wei Fangfei not only hadn't forgotten, but remembered it very clearly, otherwise she wouldn't have known that it was Jiang Yuan's birthday today. "I've already had someone deliver the gift for Lanlan to her house."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhiwei gripped her phone tightly. "Fangfei, aren't you coming to Lanlan's birthday party?"

"I won't go. I'll come and keep Jiang Yuan company." Wei Fangfei smiled. "Please wish Lanlan a happy birthday for me."

Meng Zhiwei fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wei Fangfei said calmly, "Weiwei, let's talk next time we meet. I'll hang up now."

She remained silent, so Wei Fangfei hung up the phone.

After the main course, the waiter removes the plates and bowls and begins serving dessert and birthday cake.

Jiang Yuan stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you everyone for taking the time to come and enjoy my birthday cake today." Wei Fangfei rested her chin on her hands, elegant and gentle, "Yuan Yuan, don't be so formal. We're very happy to be able to celebrate your birthday with you."

This statement drew many echoes of the sentiment.

"Yes, we are very happy."

"They are all our own people."

"I want to come to your next birthday party too."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's smile deepened. "I've prepared some small gifts for everyone. I hope you won't find them offensive."

She had written names on the gift bags in advance, and now she was handing them out one by one according to the names.

"This is the first time I've ever received a gift for someone's birthday." Meng Xiaokai was shocked. Looking at the logo on the gift bag, he suddenly felt that his bouquet of fruit was too shabby.

“Me too,” Chen Ziqi exclaimed. “Our consultant Jiang is so good at dealing with people. I’ve learned a lot.”

"No, that's not it." Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly and joked, "I just wanted to use these little gifts to win everyone over, hoping you can continue to be my friends."

"No problem!" Fu Xiaoxiao immediately replied with a smile, "I want to be your friend not only in this life, but also in the next!"

Fu Xiaohang clapped enthusiastically and said with a smile, "Sister Yuanyuan, I'm different. I don't want to be friends with you in my next life. I want to be your brother!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao showed a disgusted expression, "Yuan Yuan doesn't care about you at all."

Fu Xiaohang: "Whether it's rare or not isn't up to you to decide."

Seeing that the siblings were about to start bickering again, Zhou Shuyu quickly said, "Let's take a picture first, or the cake will melt."

“Yes, yes, take a picture quickly.” Deng Rui said, raising her phone. “Come on, Yuan Yuan, look at the camera.”

Momo said in her childish voice, "Auntie, eggplant."

"Cheese~" Jiang Yuan smiled and held up two fingers.

"So beautiful! So beautiful!" Fu Xiaoxiao snapped photos. "Yuan Yuan, change your expression, change your pose—so beautiful!"

She shoved her phone into Fu Xiaohang's hand, saying, "Take some photos of Yuan Yuan and me together."

"Okay." Fu Xiaohang nodded.

Chen Ziqi also quietly raised his phone and framed Fu Xiaoxiao's figure in the viewfinder.

Everyone stepped forward to take photos with Jiang Yuan, and finally Fu Xiaoxiao called the waiter to record the scene of everyone singing birthday songs for the birthday girl.

On the other hand, Meng Yunlan found his birthday meal rather unappetizing.

On her way back from the restroom, she took Meng Zhiwei's hand and whispered, "Auntie, why didn't Aunt Fangfei come?"

Did that bitch go to celebrate Jiang Yuan's birthday?
Meng Zhiwei's eyes flickered slightly as she explained softly, "Lanlan, your Aunt Fangfei has an urgent work commitment and can't come, but she has already sent the gift to our home."

"I see." Meng Yunlan nodded. "I understand."

Meng Zhiwei reached out and touched her hair, saying with heartache, "Lanlan is such a good girl."

Meng Yunlan lowered her eyes, concealing the displeasure in them.

Back in the banquet hall, Meng Yunlan smiled and chatted with everyone, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Shen Airu, who seemed out of sorts.

Is she thinking of Jiang Yuan?
It's ridiculous.

Shen Airu was indeed thinking about Jiang Yuan.

Today is her birthday, but I can't even say "Happy Birthday" to her.

Shen Airu felt increasingly sad and had no desire to stay there any longer.

She sighed and walked to Meng Zhenliang's side. "I think I'll go back first."

Meng Zhenliang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

"Then tell Lanlan." Shen Airu turned around and looked around. Seeing that Meng Yunlan was chatting happily with someone, she said, "Never mind, I'll just send her a message."
