Showing Off

Not only did she talk to him, she even smiled at him!1

Have I ever… received such a smile from her?

Han Siye felt wistful and bitter. He instantly felt that Little Jiu and Xiao Wei were very compatible, and he was like a third wheel.

However, he didn't want to admit this, nor did he want to turn around and leave. Instead, he glanced at Xiao Wei and arrogantly said, "We've known each other for so long. Aren't you going to give me a ticket too?"

Xiao Wei shrugged and casually replied, "No. Get one yourself."

"You…" Han Siye clenched his fists, but he had no way to reply.

As if Xiao Wei were not enough, Sheng Zhiyan, who had especially returned from overseas to celebrate Su Jiu's birthday, also came over to them.

He pulled Su Jiu to the side and handed her a purple gift box. Grinning at her, he said, "Little Jiu, this is my gift to you. Do you like it? I especially bought it for you overseas and even came all the way here to personally deliver it to you. If you don't like it, I will be heartbroken."

Su Jiu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You've already said that. How can I still say that I don't like it?"

"Hurry up and open it!" Sheng Zhiyan expectantly looked at her, his eyes shining.

When Su Jiu opened the gift box, what greeted her eyes was a bright and shiny diamond necklace with a small wine bottle below it. It was obviously custom-made, and this made it even more expensive.

Su Jiu felt helpless. "Why did you give me such an expensive gift?"

Sheng Zhiyan did not think much of it. "It's fine. This is not expensive. Besides, I don't have much other than a lot of money. It's meaningless if I don't spend it."

He was just showing off at this point.

After thanking them, Su Jiu took out her phone. Many message notifications were crowded on the screen.

She looked around but did not see anything the little villain had sent.

Although he said that he couldn't come back to celebrate my birthday, he could have at least wished me a happy birthday, right?

But, there was no news from him.

Su Jiu suddenly felt disappointed again, just like when she had heard Rong Si saying over the phone that he could not come back.

Has he forgotten my birthday because he was too busy?

As she was thinking about this, Su Jiu unintentionally turned her head and spotted Su Guobang waving at her as if he had something to tell her. She walked over to him. "Grandpa?"

More than ten years had passed, and Su Guobang had aged a lot. His hair was already white, and he was no longer as healthy and hearty as before. However, his eyes were still sharp and spirited; his entire body exuded the dignity of an executive even now. It was a little intimidating.

Ordinary people would not dare to approach him, but Su Jiu was no longer afraid of him.

After setting his pride aside, Su Guobang had become no different from a grandfather of an ordinary family.

Su Guobang glanced at Han Siye and the rest, then asked with interest, "Little Jiu, what's your relationship with those boys?"

Su Jiu did not expect him to ask this and casually replied, "They're just… friends."

"Just friends?"

"Yes!"

Su Guobang smiled and made a face as if he didn't believe her. "But I think those guys are interested in you? Is there no one among them that you like?"

Su Jiu was embarrassed and quickly explained, "I like them, but not that kind of like. I only like them as brothers."

"I see, but I think those guys are not bad. They have good looks and family backgrounds. You can consider them."

Su Jiu was speechless.

What the hell? Is Grandpa trying to matchmake for me this early?

Su Guobang added, "If you really don't like them, I have many old friends. Their grandsons should be about the same age as you. Grandpa can introduce them to you. No, it should be the other way around. Introduce me to the boy you like. Just tell me. Grandpa will tie him up for you even if he has to!"
