What an amazing family this is!
The birthday fireworks show is so romantic!
Wu Pengpeng looked at the sky full of blessings. Her heart, tightly wrapped in defensiveness, gradually softened.
If none of them wanted to harm her for the family fortune, or if she could divide the fortune equally among them, how wonderful that would be.
How she yearned for a warm family and a group of family members who truly loved her.
"Happy birthday, Pengpeng." Just as Wu Pengpeng was on the verge of crying with mixed feelings, a gentle voice came from beside her ear.
She turned her head and saw Wu Junyu walking over with a walkie - talkie. The smile in his eyes was made even softer by the bright fireworks in the sky.
So it was his doing that created this fireworks show.
Wu Pengpeng couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, Second Brother."
She really liked this gift. It was romantic and expensive, and it wouldn't add to her burden of being a spendthrift.
It seemed that in this family, the one who understood her was Second Brother.
"You're welcome." Wu Junyu subconsciously reached out his hand to pat her head. But seeing the dust on his hand, he retracted it and said with a gentle smile, "As long as our little princess likes it."
Wu Pengpeng said sincerely, "I like it very much."
Looking at her empty hands, she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
She had given a generous gift to her eldest brother just now, but she had nothing for her second brother. Wouldn't he think she was being partial?
"Second Brother, is there anything you like? I'll give it to you some other day as a return gift." She paused and added, "Just tell me, anything is okay."
As long as it was something he really wanted, it met the requirement for her to give. She really could give him anything.
Wu Junyu didn't expect her to say such words. He was stunned for a long while and seemed to be amused by her naivety.
"Second Brother only wants you to be happy." He smiled even more gently. "I'll go outside and check. The second round of fireworks should start soon."
The moment he turned around, the gentleness and smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant. His eyes became gloomy and terrifying, like a wolf lurking in the dark night.
Outside, the fireworks were going off everywhere, and it was extremely lively.
Wu Pengpeng looked up at the sky, her eyes full of smiles.
Suddenly, someone stood beside her and looked up at the sky too. "You really opened my eyes just now!"
Wu Pengpeng glanced at Jiang He out of the corner of her eye and continued to enjoy her birthday gift. "I'm just winning people over. Spending a little money for big benefits. It's a businessman's way of thinking. You don't understand."
Jiang He was amused by her serious look. He coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Since you like making money, I happen to have a good project. I wonder if you're interested?"
I'm not interested in making money at all!
Wu Pengpeng noticed that he was staring at her all the time, as if observing her reaction.
To avoid revealing her true feelings, she pretended to be very interested. "Really? What kind of project?"
Jiang He felt a bit uncomfortable under her burning gaze. He subconsciously dodged his eyes. "A combustible ice project. Using technology to convert ice into usable energy."
So it meant using ice like natural gas?
What a lousy project! It would be better to throw money into the water than to invest in such a project.
However, come to think of it, this project was just tailor - made for her!
Wu Pengpeng couldn't wait to agree right away, but as a normal businessman, she couldn't be so impulsive.
She pondered for a moment and said seriously, "I've been busy setting up an entertainment company recently. After I finish the project at hand, I'll seriously consider it."
Jiang He looked at her in surprise, took out a business card and stuffed it into her hand. "Contact me when you've made up your mind."
Wu Pengpeng quickly put the business card in her pocket and kept it properly. "Okay."
Enjoying the fireworks and also talking about a big spendthrift business on the side. This birthday was really a great one.
The birthday party didn't end until eleven o'clock, and everyone left one after another.
Seeing that the night had passed without any danger, Wu Pengpeng quickly said goodbye to her second uncle's family. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, thank you. I'll surely never forget this birthday."
"We're family. Why be so polite?" Jiang Xinyu had received her generous gift, so her attitude towards Wu Pengpeng was much better.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Wu You was a bit reluctant. "Can't you stay here tonight?"
Definitely not!
Although she liked this family now, she liked her own life even more.
"Sorry, Second Uncle. I've made an appointment with someone. They're already waiting for me at the castle." Wu Pengpeng lied smoothly and put on a look of guilt, as if she would cry on the spot if he didn't let her go.
Wu You couldn't bear to make things difficult for her, so he had to let her go reluctantly. "Okay. Come back when you're free."
Hearing this, Wu Pengpeng beamed with joy. "Okay."
When she got out of the Wu family's old mansion, Wu Pengpeng let out a sigh of relief and slumped into the passenger seat.
Seeing her listless, Zhao Bufan thought her birthday hadn't been enjoyable.
She felt a bit guilty. "Sorry, Pengpeng. I shouldn't have forgotten your birthday."
Wu Pengpeng waved her hand weakly. "It's okay. It's just a birthday. It's not a big deal."
"That's different." Zhao Bufan said sadly. "Today is your twenty - second birthday. It means you've reached the legal age for marriage. You can date properly from now on."
Hearing this, Wu Pengpeng suddenly became interested. "You really like my third uncle!"
Zhao Bufan glanced at her through the rear - view mirror. "Don't you know that?"
Realizing that she was almost exposed, Wu Pengpeng quickly covered it up. "I mean, Third Uncle is twenty years older than you!"
Zhao Bufan raised her head and said, "I don't mind."
Wu Pengpeng gave her a speechless look. "Is it just a matter of whether you mind or not?"
"Okay!" Zhao Bufan sighed. "I know your third uncle minds a lot, so I need your help!"
"How can I help you?" I'm already in such a mess and can hardly take care of myself.
Zhao Bufan turned to look at her and said seriously, "Just tell your third uncle that you must have me as your third aunt."
What a crazy idea!
Wu Pengpeng said speechlessly, "I thought you were quite close to Second Uncle. I thought you liked my second brother!"
"Wu Junyu!" Zhao Bufan's tone was a bit disdainful. "I don't like him."
Wu Pengpeng looked surprised. "Why? My second brother is handsome and gentle. What's wrong with him?"
Hearing this, Zhao Bufan looked shocked and reached out to touch her forehead. "Are you running a fever? Weren't you the one who disliked your second brother the most?"
What's going on?
Wu Pengpeng let out a confused "Ah". "You must have remembered wrong. My second brother is a really nice guy!"
Zhao Bufan shook her head. "I'm not sure. Anyway, you just said he was too good - looking and threatened your status as the most beautiful woman in the Wu family, so you didn't like him. Maybe you were just joking."
Who can tell her what on earth is going on?
Wu Pengpeng shed resentful tears in her heart. Other time - travelers all had cheat codes or superpowers. Not only did she have none of those, but she didn't even have the original owner's memories.
If she made a wrong step, wouldn't she be doomed?
Before she could curse the heavens, she heard Zhao Bufan say, "We're here."
Wu Pengpeng sighed and lowered her head to unbuckle her seatbelt. Suddenly, she heard Zhao Bufan's surprised voice. "I thought you were just lying to your second uncle. It turns out you really did make an appointment with someone!"
