Chapter 256: Chapter 228: [Gift]

At 7:20 PM, as darkness enveloped the sky, all the students attending Su Liuli’s birthday party, including Ouyang Lingfeng, entered the villa one after another.

"Ah... It looks like Big Brother really isn’t coming,"

In the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Situ Ruoshui, seeing the guests beginning to enter and Ye Fan still nowhere to be seen, couldn’t help but sigh, her porcelain doll-like face filled with disappointment.

Because she was afraid of interrupting Ye Fan’s cultivation, she hadn’t seen him for three days, feeling like each day dragged on like a year, and was eagerly looking forward to seeing him.

Because, whenever she was with Ye Fan, she felt as sweet as if her heart had been filled with honey, and as happy as an angel.

"It’s just as well he didn’t come."

Hearing Situ Ruoshui’s words, Su Liuli pretended to be strong on the surface, but her heart was filled with even greater disappointment than Situ Ruoshui’s.

However—

She did not let that disappointment show on her face, and instead, feigned cheerfulness as she accompanied Situ Ruoshui downstairs.

The hall on the first floor had been decorated into a party scene, with streamers hanging from the ceiling, flowers arranged, balloons floating around, and tables by the walls laden with assorted snacks, desserts, fruits, and barbecued meat. In addition, there were expensive barrels of red wine, the center of the hall cleared to form an impromptu stage, with a spotlight hanging above.

"The birthday girl is here!"

As soon as Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui appeared at the top of the stairs, someone shouted, and all the guests threw their gazes towards the staircase to see the elaborately dressed Su Liuli.

Under the lighting, they clearly saw that, tonight, Su Liuli was wearing a rose-red, trailing evening gown; the dress was fitted at the top and loose at the bottom, perfectly showcasing Su Liuli’s figure, making her seem like a mermaid from a fairy tale, breathtakingly beautiful.

Perhaps Su Liuli was simply too enchanting tonight, and the hall fell into a brief silence.

In the light, apart from Su Jindi, the other boys were visibly awestruck, their eyes filled with admiration and desire, while the girls looked on with faces full of envy.

As a legendary figure at Dong hai University, Ouyang Lingfeng had studied abroad, and while attending school, he had also made a name in the stock market, having a broad social circle and having seen many beautiful women. But upon seeing the elaborately dressed Su Liuli, he too was taken aback, feeling a conquering desire in his heart rising unstoppably.

However, having seen much of the world, and being of strong mentality, he quickly snapped out of his daze, and took the lead in clapping with a smile, "Let’s welcome Classmate Liuli with a round of warm applause."

"Clap clap—"

Following Ouyang Lingfeng’s lead, everyone came back to their senses and started clapping to welcome her.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone!"

Because she was wearing delicate high heels, Su Liuli carefully maintained her balance to avoid falling, while holding up the hem of her gown with one hand. Seeing everyone clapping, she managed a somewhat strained smile and waved to the crowd.

Soon, amid the neat and loud applause, Su Liuli slowly walked to the middle of the dance floor, accompanied by Situ Ruoshui, surrounded and feted by all.

"First of all, thank you everyone for coming to my birthday party tonight, and secondly, I hope that you all have a great time here tonight," Su Liuli said, taking the microphone handed to her by Situ Ruoshui, smiling, after the applause gradually died down.

"Clap clap—"

The applause broke out once again, mixed with cheers and whistles.

"What a bunch of losers, look how happy they are."

Seeing the male students from ordinary backgrounds one by one elated, a young aristocrat by Ouyang Lingfeng’s side spoke with disdain.

"Well, since they are losers, being able to attend such a party and take the chance to pick up girls, naturally they’d be excited," another young aristocrat added with a laugh.

"Exactly, do you think everybody can be like Brother Ling Feng, not just the knight in shining armor in the hearts of female losers but also indifferent to the advances of rich and beautiful women, and able to spend tens of millions on an Aston Martin to conquer a top-grade beauty like Su Liuli?" That aristocrat, who was in good terms with Ouyang Lingfeng, buttered him up.

Ouyang Lingfeng smiled indifferently, but did not rush to present the Aston Martin car keys as a gift to Su Liuli. Instead, he planned to wait until the so-called loser students had finished giving their gifts, to stand out even more by emphasizing the gulf between them.

Soon, as Ouyang Lingfeng waited, Su Liuli walked out from the dance floor, accompanied by Situ Ruoshui, ready to greet each student who came to the party. Behind her followed a former bodyguard from the Situ Family, in charge of receiving gifts for Su Liuli.

"Liuli, this is the birthday present I got for you."

The first one to greet Su Liuli was a girl, a roommate of hers and Situ Ruoshui’s, with very ordinary family circumstances, who gave her a bottle of ordinary branded perfume.

"Thank you."

Su Liuli smiled and thanked her, while the bodyguard promptly stepped forward to take the gift on her behalf.

Similar to the first girl, the gifts from the other students that followed were quite ordinary, though exquisitely presented.

A moment later, Su Liuli arrived in front of Ouyang Lingfeng and a few other young aristocrats.

Originally she had not planned to invite them, but as they, like her, were members of the Management College Student Union and insisted on attending her party, she could not well refuse.

"Miss Su, happy birthday."

Very quickly, one of the young aristocrats presented Su Liuli with an elegant and upscale little gift box, smiling as he said, "I had the good fortune to attend an auction last time I was in Paris with the European Union and thought this brooch was nice so I bid on it. It’s perfect to offer as a birthday present to Miss Su now; I hope you don’t find it too modest."
