If You Are a Dodder Flower

Part 42

Wang Man's birthday party was at a club. She booked a room for the party.

Cao Yang and Xia Rou arrived just in time.

When Wang Man saw Cao Yang, she came forward and greeted, "You're here."

She then looked at Xia Rou, "Xiao Rou is here too."

"Sister Wang Man, happy birthday," Xia Rou said in a well-behaved manner, handing the present that Cao Yang had prepared for her.

"Thank you," Wang Man said, smiling warmly as she received the gift. "Have fun at the party."

Although Wang Man had already learned that Xia Rou wasn't Cao Xiong's biological child, her attitude toward Xia Rou was so much better when compared to the past that she was a little overwhelmed by the unexpected grace.

As Cao Yang looked at Xia Rou, he felt that she really liked Wang Man. He patted her head, "Your friends are over there."

Although this was a younger gathering, people still split up by age. Xia Rou left for her friends.

She sat down and greeted her peers, turning around to watch Cao Yang speak with Wang Man.

A cigarette was in his hand and a smile was on his face.

He was tall, his body falling into fine, structured lines for a manly look.

Who could even compare to him? That was her big brother. If Wang Man didn't like him, who else would she like? They were a perfect match!

Xia Rou couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Slowly, the room crowded up, the atmosphere heating up with the continuous amount of people.

Xia Rou was speaking with someone until she heard someone shout her name: "Xiao Rou!" She turned around and saw that it was Hu Chen. No matter whether or not she disliked him, their social circles were so small that this day was inevitable.

She smiled and greeted him, "Brother Hu Chen."

Hu Chen continued toward her and as he neared, a handsome boy appeared from behind him.

Xia Rou's expression immediately changed. Translated by The Novelst

That young boy revealed a surprised face, asking Hu Chen, "Brother Chen, this is...?"

"Oh, Xiao Rou, this is Liang Ziheng," he said, patting Xia Rou's shoulder. He turned to Liang Ziheng, "This is Xia Rou of the Cao Family."

By mentioning the Cao Family at this sort of occasion, there was only one Cao Family it could be.

That introduction was a little odd, but Liang Ziheng wasn't bothered, not asking further. He pulled on a smile and said, "Hello, Xia Rou."

Liang Ziheng was quite handsome and slick with his words, so he was quite popular among the female population.

And that female population consisted of rich young ladies, rather than beautiful young ladies. The truth was that many wealthy girls... weren't beauty queens...

Liang Ziheng naturally preferred pretty girls.

Although Xia Rou was still young, she was a beauty. When he scanned the room, just looking at faces, the most attractive were definitely Xia Rou or Wang Man.

Wang Man was a wealthy family's daughter, and a woman of quality. She held all the cards: a strong family background, ability, and beauty. Her personality was arrogant and she didn't let just anyone in her eyes.

Liang Ziheng was still self-aware enough to know that he had to rely on Hu Chen to bring him to her birthday gathering, so he didn't dare scheme in regards to her.
