After saying hello to the elders, Xu Xinduo also had to take a photo with the Tong family.
There were many media reporters at the scene. Naturally, they were very interested in Yin Hua and Tong Yukai, who had a love story that featured a rags-to-riches fantasy.
Of course, there were also many people who paid attention to the second generation of the rich and powerful. When someone like Tong Yan was organising an event, there was bound to be even more of a crowd.
Not only did Tong Yan publicise his relationship, but the media was eager for a scoop when they knew it was Xu Xinduo who would marry into the Tong family. The Tong family, having accepted that she would become their daughter-in-law in the future, naturally attracted the attention of the media as well. As she was a rookie model who had been in the limelight recently, some people were able to recognise her in the party.
These kinds of gatherings were big news, so the reporters wouldn’t miss the opportunity to get some inside scoops from them. There were also reporters who wanted to ask more questions, but Yin Hua was the one who gave them most of their answers. Soon, the interview process ended— after all, this wasn’t a press conference.
After Xu Xinduo responded to the media and greeted the three members of the Tong family, she left the venue with Mother Mu and Mu Qingyi.
The family of three went to the homestay that was currently rented by Mother Mu.
In fact, Mother Mu had already gone out of town to start and renovate her own company. With the two stores piled together on her plate, she didn’t have the time to return home. This homestay was then left for Mu Qingyi’s convenience in order to provide him with a place to stay and a place to put his items.
Well, the homestay was rented just in time for the two to spend their birthdays there.
Mother Mu specifically made two cakes— one for the brother and one the sister.
The cakes of the two of them were completely different. Mu Qingyi’s cake looked very rigid with chocolate as the main body as it adorned a bow-tie pattern. Oddly enough, it looked very gentlemanly.
Xu Xinduo’s cake was much more delicate as it was decorated with intricate carvings and macarons embellishments. It seemed like the cake was intentionally prepared for girls and women.
In fact, the two cakes wouldn’t be able to be finished by the three of them. But Mother Mu wanted to play things fairly— if the brother had something, the sister should have one as well.
Mother Mu placed a birthday candle on each cake and lit them. Then, she said to the two children, “Make a wish.”
The two children folded their hands together and made a silent wish.
After that, the twins blew out the candles together and the room was engulfed in darkness.
Mother Mu suddenly stopped and asked, “Where is the light switch?”
Mu Qingyi was also confused, “I think it should be by the door?”
It was Xu Xinduo who turned off the lights before, so she stood up and located the light switch. Then, she flipped it and turned the lights on.
Upon turning around and seeing new boxes on the table, Xu Xinduo realised that their mother did it on purpose.
She walked over to look at the box and asked, “Is this for me?”
Mother Mu spoke, “I don’t know if you would like it or not, but I chose it quite carefully.”
Xu Xinduo opened a box and saw a key inside.
She took it out and upon looking at the brand of the key, she couldn’t help being surprised, “Is it a motorcycle?”
Mother Mu immediately nodded, “Mm, I found out in the interview that you liked this kind of motorcycle, so I got you one. However, I still don’t think it’s very safe to drive, so be careful when you do.”
