Chapter 114
Baby Shang's birthday party.
Zhou Ziyou and Sister Dao both attended, standing on the balcony of the banquet hall, holding a glass of wine, looking at the handsome men and beautiful women in the hall.
Sister Dao wore a suit, with short hair, exuding a gentle charisma.
Zhou Ziyou wore a light blue dress. She had been going on blind dates recently, jogging every day to lose weight. Now she weighed 120 pounds, her curves filled out nicely in all the right places. Putting on the little dress, she was undoubtedly a petite, charming beauty.
Sister Dao: "How about it? See anyone you like?"
Zhou Ziyou rarely attended such lavish, high-class banquets. The guests here were all prominent and influential figures. If she didn't know Shang Xi, she would never have the chance to be present at such an occasion.
Hearing Sister Dao's question, she thought to herself, "There are plenty that I like, but the problem is, no one likes me."
The banquet hall was luxuriously decorated, with dazzling lights and glasses clinking, surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, just like scenes from her comics. But she was no comic book heroine.
"Look, oh, that long-haired man who just walked by, so handsome!!"
"The one behind him, that muscular guy with a spiky hairstyle, with a sharp, arrogant gaze... ah, they're all tall and handsome."
Sister Dao took a sip of wine: "They must be friends of Gu, they're talking to him."
After coming out of the restroom, Shang Xi walked towards the banquet hall. Gu's mother's grandson immediately let go of her hand and ran towards his mother.
"Mommy!"
Shang Xi smiled: "Can't you leave mommy alone for a moment?"
She held her son's hand and looked up to see the long-haired man in a suit, Fu Su, and behind him, the spiky-haired one, Jiang Bu.
Shang Xi wasn't familiar with Gu Wen's friends and had barely spoken to them a few times. She remembered the first time they met at the Menglaishanzhuang, although they didn't openly express their dislike towards her, she could sense the awkward atmosphere. She understood that Gu Wen's friends, like Gu Wen himself at the time, didn't really like her.
Of course, she didn't need everyone to like her - she wasn't cash. It was just that at the time, she felt an unwelcoming vibe from them.
Later, for some reason, Gu Wen started to like her, and his friends' attitudes towards her seemed to improve a little.
Shang Xi didn't mind.
It wasn't worth minding, since they weren't close, just peripheral acquaintances.
She didn't say anything.
Fu Su nodded slightly towards her first, then bent down and looked at Baby Shang: "Little one, happy birthday, wish you good health and happiness as you grow up."
Baby Shang blinked his big eyes and pursed his little lips: "Oh, thank you."
Jiang Bu pulled Fu Su aside and said gruffly, "Don't block the way, let me have a look at the little one too!"
He stood in front of the mother and son.
Shang Xi remained calm, not speaking.
Jiang Bu seemed a little awkward, scratched his head, and nodded towards Shang Xi. Then he squatted down and extended his hand: "Little one, let Wolf Uncle give you a hug?"
But to his surprise, Baby Shang frowned, stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "I don't want you to hug me. I don't like you."
This uncle... wasn't he the one dad brought him to meet when they went out for a meal before?
The other uncles all greeted his mother, but not this one. He even gave off an angry vibe. He didn't know much, but he didn't like people who ignored his beautiful mother.
Come on, it should be their honor to talk to his stunning mother!
"Mom, let's go!" Baby Shang frowned, his little face tense as he pulled Shang Xi away. "Younger Aunt and Great Aunt are over there."
Shang Xi didn't object, letting her son lead the way.
If it were anyone else, she would normally teach her son to be polite. But this time, she just wanted to say: Good job, son!
That's the kind of person she was - calm and composed on the surface, but keeping score in her heart.
Jiang Bu squatted there, dazed.
"Huh? What did I do to make the little one dislike me?"
Seeing this, Gu Wen sneered and walked over with long strides.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Bu looked at Gu Wen: "You didn't say bad things about me in front of the little one, did you?"
Gu Wen said venomously, "You think too highly of yourself."
Implying that in private, he wouldn't even mention these friends in front of his son.
Fu Su also said, "Wolf Brother, the little one isn't familiar with you, so it's normal."
Jiang Bu: "Nonsense! The little one's attitude towards you and me is completely different! This is the first time a Wolf clan child has disliked me."
Jiang Bu was a single wolf man. When he had nothing to do, he would bond with some children, showing off his muscles and climbing abilities. He lost himself in the children's praises, their idol!
His emotions were too overt, his happiness simple and childish.
It was one thing for other children to dislike him, but a friend's child? He took it seriously. "I need to find opportunities to interact more with your child."
On the balcony...
Baby Shang exclaimed: "Younger Aunt, you look so beautiful today."
He held Zhou Ziyou's hand, bent slightly like a little gentleman, and touched the back of her hand with his forehead.
Clearly something new he had learned today.
His actions made the adults laugh.
"Great Aunt, you look so cool today!" He shook hands with Sister Dao.
Sister Dao laughed: "Baby, you have a mature handsomeness today."
Zhou Ziyou dramatically covered her face: "Baby, you look so handsome today."
Baby Shang raised his chin, his little lips curling up slightly.
