Chapter 108: Birthday

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Birthday

"Am I seeing things? Why is Sister Lea’s beautified version sitting here?"

Qiao Li was stunned by Qiao Zirui’s question and laughed,

"This Sister Lea and she has only applied a light makeup ."

Qiao Zirui looked at Yu Holea seriously and said,

"Sister Lea, you must wait for me! I will definitely marry you when I grow up."

Yu Holea and Qiao Li controlled their laughter.

"Ok then, Zirui you will have to grow up quickly! I will be waiting for you."

Qiao Zirui nodded and said,

"Sister Lea, are you going to some party? Shall I come with you?"

Qiao Li chided him,

"Zirui you are being impolite."

However Qiao Zirui just said,

"How could I leave my beautiful Sister Lea all by herself?"

Yu Holea smiled upon hearing Qiao Zirui’s words.

She paused and said,

"Let me ask Jiang Wei if she has an extra pass."

Qiao Zirui shook his head and said,

"No need Sister Lea, I have an invitation, you just have to tell me about the place where you are going."

Yu Holea was stunned and asked with curiosity,

"How? When you don’t even know which place I am going, how can you be sure that you will have an invitation?"

Qiao Zirui just smiled while Qiao Li sighed.

Now how should she explain?

Even though Qiao Zirui was little there were many resources in his hand since childhood.

Not to mention Qiao Zirui was a genius and he was trained in networking since childhood.

Even if Qiao Zirui doesn’t own a company because of his young age, he has various connections because of his family background and international friends.

Yu Holea thought about it and said,

"Ravine Hotel."

"Ok Sister Lea I will go with you but first I will get ready."

Saying so Qiao Zirui dashed out of Yu Holea’s room.

When Yu Holea was finally ready, she and Qiao Zirui went to the Qiao Family’s car.

Along the way, Yu Holea chatted with Qiao Zirui and soon they reached Ravine Hotel.

Looking at the glamourous hotel, Yu Holea sighed and promised herself, that she would build the same hotel for herself.

By the time they reached the entrance, Yu Holea saw Jiang Wei.

When Jiang Wei saw Yu Holea, her eyes widened.

"Holea?"

"Yes"

"You are looking so beautiful today"

Yu Holea blushed and turned to Jiang Wei, expressing her gratitude.

"Thank you, Jiang Wei. I’m glad you think so."

Jiang Wei glanced at Qiao Zirui and asked with curiosity,

"Who is this little boy with you, Holea?"

She had never seen such a handsome boy.

With his rosy cheeks, sparkling blue eyes, and mischievous grin that could melt the hearts of anyone who laid eyes on him, Qiao Zirui was a bundle of pure joy and innocence.

Not to mention Qiao Zirui had a noble aura around him.

Yu Holea smiled and replied, "Oh, he’s my partner for today. Qiao Zirui, meet Jiang, you can call her Sister Wei, one of my closest friends."

Qiao Zirui shyly greeted Jiang Wei, and she smiled warmly in return.

Jiang Wei then took Yu Holea’s hand and led her further into the party.

As they entered the grand hall of Ravine Hotel, they were greeted by an extravagant display of decorations, sparkling lights, and beautifully dressed guests.

The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses.

Waiters elegantly moved around, offering trays of delicious hors d’oeuvres and champagne.

Yu Holea couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by the opulence and grandeur of the event.

She had never been to such a lavish party before, and it was quite a sight to behold.

Yu Holea was thinking about the lucky person, whose parents are throwing such a grand birthday party for their son/daughter.

However, since Jiang Wei hadn’t mentioned the name of the person whose birthday was today, Yu Holea was uncertain about whom to greet.

Jiang Wei leaned in and whispered to Yu Holea,

"The birthday girl is over there, surrounded by a group of people. Let’s make our way towards her."

As they approached the birthday girl, Yu Holea noticed a girl with a radiant smile and excitement in her eyes.

She seemed genuinely happy to be celebrating her special day with friends and loved ones.

However...

However, Yu Holea didn’t feel even an ounce of happiness seeing the girl’s face.

It was Yu Mei.

Today was Yu Mei’s birthday.

So does that mean, that today was her birthday too?

As she was near Yu Mei she saw her brothers too.

Yu Shuchang was looking at Yu Mei with a doting smile and said,

"Happy birthday, my dear Yu Mei! I can’t believe you’re already 16 years old. It feels like just yesterday you were a little girl."

Yu Sile standing beside him, chimed in, "Yes, happy birthday, Yu Mei! May this year bring you endless joy and success?"

Yu Sicong was standing beside Yu Mei, and even though he said nothing, he would occasionally fill her cup with orange juice.

Yu Mei beamed with happiness, surrounded by attention and well-wishes from everyone.

Some couldn’t help but comment,

"Ah! How lucky is Yu Mei? She is the little princess of the Yu Family and is going to marry the prince of the Leng Family!"

"Yeah not to mention, she has a beautiful face and such doting brothers."

"Do you know, the Yu Family paid around 50 million to book the hall, and the gown that Yu Mei is wearing is 20 million yuan."

"Do you really think this is the end? I heard that her brother has prepared some gifts too."

"What gifts?"

"You will know!"

But amidst the celebration, Yu Holea’s heart grew heavy.

Her own birthday had been overshadowed, forgotten by her own brothers.

It hurt to see them dote on Yu Mei while seemingly disregarding her special day.

She felt a pang of loneliness and disappointment, but she quickly pushed those emotions aside.

Remembering about the severance letter, Yu Holea felt that Yu Brother was doing the right thing and hence she didn’t say anything.

Even though Yu Holea controlled her reaction, Qiao Zirui sensed it and looked over.

But his eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw the Yu Brothers and a girl...

Hm?

Wasn’t this...ugh! What was she called...yeah Yu Mei.

Yu Mei was the girl who stole Yu Holea’s place and is still acting innocent.

Today was her birthday. Looks like he has to create some trouble...

Suddenly Qiao Zirui’s eyes widened.

If today was Yu Mei’s birthday then isn’t his Sister Lea’s birthday today too?

Qiao Zirui looked at the calm Yu Holea and his heart was filled with sadness.

It was unfair that she was being overlooked and forgotten by her own family.

Not to forget today was Yu Holea’s birthday too, so why did they celebrate only Yu Mei’s birthday?

Hence Qiao Zirui said to Yu Holea,

"Sister Lea, wait I will seek justice for you."

Yu Holea was stunned hearing Qiao Zirui’s words and hurriedly stopped him,

"No! It’s okay. I don’t have any relationship with them anyway!"

Qiao Zirui’s brows furrowed and he asked,

"What?"

"Yeah Zirui so don’t go, okay?"

Qiao Zirui took back his step and understood, that things were more complicated than they looked.

However, this didn’t stop him from messaging someone.

Just then, Yu Sicong announced,

"It’s cake-cutting time, all the guests are required to come to the center. After the cake cutting, there will gifting session."

Yu Holea felt the voice around her fading and she remembered this scene.

In the original novel, Yu Mei and Yu Holea’s birthday was celebrated together but because of Yu Holea’s lack of mannerism, Yu Holea was isolated while Yu Mei was surrounded like a star.

Not to mention this scene was the beginning of the novel, where the female lead, Yu Mei face slaps, the vicious real daughter, Yu Holea, when Yu Holea shows off the gifts she received from her biological brother.

As the guests gathered around for the cake-cutting ceremony, Yu Holea couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.

She remembered the humiliation and isolation the host, faced in the original novel, and it brought back painful memories.

Surprisingly she felt as if she had experienced all of this.

Soon the guest started singing a birthday song.

When the cake-cutting was going on, Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu came to Yu Mei’s side but since there were too many people in front of her, Yu Holea wasn’t able to see them.

Yu Holea strained her eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of her parents in the crowd.

She felt a glimmer of hope that maybe they hadn’t forgotten about her birthday after all.

But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t see them anywhere near her.

Her heart sank, and she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Hu! Look up! You can’t cry!

And Yu Holea was successful in stopping her tears...
