Chapter 218 – Yup! It was definitely entirely the fault of that guy! (1)
Meng Yuran’s birthday was coming up soon.
His birthday was on November 3rd, a scorpion through and through.
Scorpions never give up on anything, are good at scheming, will never act impulsively or rely on their instinct for anything. As such, when they are down on luck, let it be emotionally or financially, it could bring down their mental state and cause them to be distressed. That was exactly what happened in the original novel.
But now, Meng Yuran was just a 13-year-old teenager in his first year of junior high school.
Meng Yuran had always been a very mature person who was bad at expressing his feelings. The more one got to know him, the easier it was for one to be fond of him.
Lin Yiyi liked her two children a lot. Even when her son’s personality was somewhat awkward, she would still side with him at all times. Her children would always be the best!
“I am going to hold a grand birthday party for Little Yuran!” Lin Yiyi clapped her hands and announced.
When it was Meng Shanshan’s birthday, she had invited her entire kindergarten class. Thirty something children had filled the entire mansion up. It was a very successful birthday party. The only problem was the amount of cleanup afterward.
Xiao Chen and Housekeeper Zhang spent a few days afterward before they were able to get the mansion back to its original pristine state. Such was the price to pay for a big party.
Lin Yiyi solicited her son’s opinion this time. “Perhaps we can reserve a few tables at a hotel and hire professionals to help with the planning? You can invite your friends, classmates, and teachers from school and have a good time.”
As much as Meng Yuran kept his face straight, he was still quite happy that his family saw his birthday as a big event.
That meant that someone thought about him, cared about him. He wasn’t a silly person. He didn’t say it out loud but he saw it all.
Nevertheless, he still tried very hard to control his good mood. With a nonchalant look, he said, “Whatever. No need for something too complicated.”
Lin Yiyi objected to what he said immediately. “No way! It’s my son’s birthday. There’s no ‘whatever’. We must celebrate it properly so you can have a lasting memory of it!”
Meng Yuran went silent.
He had a “so much hassle” and “okay, whatever floats your boat” look on him…
Lu Mingzhe, who totally got that Meng Yuran was really so happy that his tail was sticking straight up in the air and only wished that he could twirl around in place and gloat to every single working citizen of China, twitched his lips.
All of a sudden, he had a peculiar feeling that this boy was actually quite interesting!
Or, should we say, they were uncle and nephew after all?
Lu Xun has always supported Lin Yiyi’s opinions. Nobody had ever seen him saying anything otherwise.
The same could be said about this time.
He even pulled up a few high-end 5-star hotels in City Nan and analyzed each of their longs and shorts to her. He might as well be picking the location for his own wedding reception. That ought to show his passion in this matter.
As much as Meng Yuran wasn’t a big fan of this Lu guy, he knew that he meant well this time. He’d be nice and not pick on him for a change!
As such, things were settled quickly.
Lu Xun was responsible for booking the hotel and Lin Yiyi had quickly picked out a studio that was good with young people and was highly rated. With the two of them dividing up the work, the planning progressed along efficiently.
Meng Yuran didn’t care for the scale of his birthday party nor found it particularly interesting, but when he saw others busy with planning for it, he accepted their kind intentions awkwardly and also leaked information to his little buddies.
R: November 3, my birthday, Hilton Hotel.
His message on WeChat was as concise as always but the message was clear!
His little buddies knew all along that his birthday was coming up and had been discussing how to celebrate it for him. They have even started looking for gifts for him.
Of course, for the sake of giving the birthday boy a pleasant surprise, they never said a word about it in front of him!
