Fu Renshu, who had been respectfully standing in attention, couldn't help but helplessly chuckle. He was quite amused to see his Boss working on the gift for his mother. It was simple and definitely not elegant and rich standards the guests might have been expecting from him, but it was an experience on its own.

  He shook his head.

  "How is Meirong?" He heard his father's voice.

  Fu Shen stood beside him with his usual stern countenance.

  He rolled his eyes. "Fine as usual. How else would she be? I should say that she is being quite a bother."

  Fu Shen furrowed his brows. "A bother?"

  "For that dumb woman, Meng Ya."

  There was a pause.

  "Why are you keeping her in your house?" His expression didn't twitch, but there was a glint of curiosity in his eyes.

  "Because she is a threat. If she meets Song Lihua, it will be all over. You know why."

  He tilted his head. "You can keep her in the base."

  His brow twitched. He imagined Meng Ya crying and sobbing in a dark, underground cell, reeking of a bloody smell and tied to a pole or a chair.

  Somehow, he didn't like that scene for some reason. Her skin was so delicate that the ropes tightly bound to her would dig in her flesh and give ugly marks. The dark room would make her go crazy with that eerie feel.

  Sobbing in fear and helplessness and crying for help wasn't the image Fu Renshu wanted to see. He felt an ever so faint ache in his heart.

  He snorted.

  It only suits if that dumb woman is dumbly grinning.

  "I am pitying the bodyguards over there. Poor people would end their life seeing that woman causing a ruckus," Fu Renshu didn't seem affected at all. However, Fu Shen was his father. Behind his expressionless facade, he saw a tiny glimpse of concern flickering in his eyes.

  But he didn't pursue it any further.

  "Hm. So how is Meirong finding all this?"

  Fu Renshu grimaced. "As usual, she is having a lot of fun playing around with Meng Ya. I pity that dumb woman for falling for sis's tricks to tease her."

  "She said that Meng Ya is your girlfriend."

  Damn sis! Just cannot keep your mouth shut!

  "It's bothersome to explain. Rest assured. I have no interest in her."

  "I see…"

  Fu Renshu impatiently asked, "When is brother-in-law coming back to fetch her? I want her gone as soon as possible."

  "No idea."

  Ugh!

  Sis fights with brother-in-law and then comes to my house to make my life hell, he sighed.

  Come back soon, brother-in-law and take your wife away!

  Fu Shen tilted his head. "Meirong said that she is pretending to be your childhood lover."

  He snorted. "Apparently, she is too bored."

  "I wonder what Meng Ya's reaction would be once she finds out."

  Fu Renshu raised his brow and a chuckle escaped his lips.

  That would be amusing to see indeed. I am sure she must have cursed sis a lot of times. If she knows that she is my sister then…


  Somehow he was looking for that confrontation.

  On the other side, Jiang Yubi was quite excited to see Wei. The prospect of seeing him again was what made her thrilled rather than the act of him giving the gift itself.

  The guests were also quite curious to see what he would give his mother. After all, he didn't lack the money to get whatever he wanted.

  Wei, wearing a dark royal blue coat over his black shirt, looked so mesmerizing that all women started to drool over him. The diamond cufflinks on the coat sparkled, whose light slightly fell on his Godly handsome side profile. Every step presented his command as he walked towards her, carrying a small box in his hand.

  Lihua joined him with a bright smile on her lips. The couple looked perfectly matched with their matching royal blue outfits. They seemed like a match made in heaven and the women couldn't help but get envious of Lihua.

  Wei stopped and stared at her. He softly said with a gentle smile on his lips, "Happy Birthday, Mom."

  Jiang Yubi's heart was filled with happiness. This was the first time hearing her son wish her birthday. The sweet sound of 'Mom' from his lips brimmed her heart with joy.

  "Thank you, Wei……"

  Jiang Weizhe still hadn't opened up to him, so he was quietly sulking.

  Wei handed her a bouquet and the small box in his hands. "I hope you like the gift."

  Lihua smiled. "Wei has worked really hard for it."

  "Oh!" Jiang Yubi was overwhelmed. "Can I open it?"

  He nodded.

  She unwrapped the gift paper and slowly opened the box. It was a pair of beautiful earrings, with sapphire studded in them. She blinked her eyes and felt the shape was slightly off.

  The guests gasped. "It's beautiful!"

  "Sapphire earrings!"

  "But why does the shape look a little……odd?"

  Jiang Yubi was still staring at the earrings when Wei snatched them from her.

  "W-what happened?" She was taken aback. "Why did you take it away?"

  "It's not good," Wei pursed his lips.

  Lihua facepalmed. "Wei. The earrings are beautiful. You are overthinking."

  "It didn't come out as expected," he said, feeling slightly disappointed, considering how perfectionist he was.

  Jiang Yubi asked, feeling incredible, "Wei……they were clay earrings, right? Did you make them by yourself?"

  Lihua beamed. "Yes! Wei made these earrings by himself! When we visited your residence, Wei realized that you really like artistic things, right? That's why there are a lot of paintings and many handmade things like bamboo baskets, wax candles, paper flowers and clay sculptures in the villa. So he decided to give you what you like the most!"

  Wei promptly admitted. "It was Lixue's idea. I had no clue what to give you."

  He nodded. It was his wife's idea. He wouldn't take credit for what Lihua did.

  She glared at him.

  Oof! Why are you going into such minor details!?

  Wei sulked. "Lixue insisted that I make the earrings. I learned clay art with video tutorials, but the shape came ugly. So I will throw it away and make a new pair for you."

  Jiang Yubi was aghast. "No way!"
