Jennie looked up and saw that familiar and annoying figure. She was really persistent.
“Jennie.” Krystal ran over and said, “I heard that the school is holding a celebration party for you today. I wanted to celebrate with you too.”
“The celebration is inside. You can go in.” Jennie looked at her with a faint smile.
It was obvious that Krystal would not enter just to seek humiliation.
Krystal said with a smile, “Since we’re here to celebrate, we’re naturally here to celebrate for you. Isn’t our birthday coming up soon as well? Let’s celebrate together, alright?”
Jennie looked up. Her clear eyes were striking, making Krystal unable to hide anything.
How could Jennie not know why she had invited her to celebrate her birthday with her?
Jennie said calmly, “How rare. Have you invited me before?”
“We used to… we used to live together, so we didn’t need to specially invite each other.”
“There’s no need for that. I don’t like celebrating birthdays with people I don’t like.” After Jennie said that, she walked away slowly.
Krystal felt vexed. This was like having her left cheek slapped by Sehun and her right cheek slapped by Jennie.
She bit her lip and thought about whether there was anyone left in the Lee family that she had not offended before.
She counted carefully and realized that there was no one. It wasn’t just her, Yuxiu Hua’s eccentric attitude had also damaged the relationship between the two families.
After they returned, Yuxiu Hua said happily, “Krystal, for your birthday this time, I’ve booked the banquet hall at Breeze Wind Pavilion for you!”
“Thanks, Mom.”
“Also, the Chu family came early in the morning to tell me that Kai will be there. Not only that, he will also bring some friends to support us.”
“Really?” Krystal felt much better.
“Why would I lie to you?” Yuxiu Hua looked radiant. “This birthday banquet of yours will definitely become a grand occasion!”
Krystal thought about Jennie and Sehun’s arrogant looks. Perhaps they were indeed difficult to beat, but so what?
With Kai around, the Kim family could still crush the Lee’s.

On Jennie’s birthday.
A few days earlier, Dong-wook and So-yeon had been preparing for the entire birthday party.
This was the first birthday they had celebrated with their daughter in twenty years. It was obvious how important it was. Because of this, Sehun had been reminded many times.
Of course, Sehun had no complaints. He was even more concerned about this birthday party than his parents.
Not only had he personally prepared the set-up, but he had also arranged the dishes and flavors in the kitchen.
Early in the morning, he even went to take a look at the venue to ensure that everything was fine. After that, he returned home and chose the most suitable outfit.
“Dad, Mom, I’m going to pick up my sister!” Sehun said, leaving with his car keys.
The three of them had all wanted to go and get Jennie. In the end, So-yeon had proposed they draw lots to decide the winner, and So-yeon had won.
Because of this, Dong-wook and So-yeon felt regretful for half a night.
“It seems like we can only go and fetch her first, then go and get the cake,” Dong-wook said.
“Well, I’m going to see my daughter soon anyway. What’s wrong with picking her up early?” So-yeon laughed.
Jennie knew that there would be a birthday party tonight.
Her previous birthdays had all been fragmented. She had either spent them with Old Master Kim, or, later on, when Old Master Kim could no longer see and did not care about the Shi family’s affairs, she had casually spent them with Krystal. Hence, she wasn’t really looking forward to her birthday.
However, seeing everyone busy preparing for her, a different feeling slowly rose in her heart.
Everyone was surrounding her with love.
Wasn’t this what she had tried so hard to get?
She changed into a simple dark green dress and put on flat-heeled shoes. The lively young girl in the mirror looked extremely outstanding.
Youth was the best make-up on anyone, let alone Jennie, who had such stunning features.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her youthful image was slowly transitioning towards maturity.
She received a message on WeChat.
Jennie heard So-yeon’s voice. “I’m at the Lanting Residence. Can I come in?”
“Come in. I’m ready,” Jennie smiled and replied.
So-yeon came in quickly and Jennie went downstairs.
He was admiring the decoration of the Lanting Residence. Probably because he felt that Lisa’s work was satisfactory, So-yeon’s expression was very gentle.
“I’m here to pick you up for your birthday party. Where’s Lisa?”
“Yes, he was here just now. He might be busy.” Jenny knew that Lisa had a lot of work to do.
So-yeon said, “Ignore him then. Let’s go over first.”
“I’ll tell him first.” She opened WeChat and told Lisa where she was going.

At Breeze Wind Pavilion:
The atmosphere at Breeze Wind Pavilion, which had always been lively, was especially lively today.
Countless guests dressed in extraordinary clothes were walking about, and the scene was extremely luxurious.
The Kim family had arranged for Krystal’s birthday party to be held tonight. Although it was only in a side room, it was enough to give them face.
After all, not everyone could make an appointment at Breeze Wind Restaurant. Furthermore, Yuxiu Hua had only made up her mind at the last minute to hold her daughter’s birthday party there. There had been no availability when she went to book it.
It was only after the Chu family heard about it and came forward to help that Yuxiu Hua obtained this side room.
Not only could they enjoy the beautiful scenery and the delicacies here, but they could also signify their status.
At that moment, in a side room, Krystal’s huge photo was standing at the door. In the photo, she was smiling sweetly and looked extremely eye-catching.
Today, the Chu family had arrived early. Father and Mother Chu had come early in the morning, giving Krystal plenty of face.
She warmly welcomed them. “Uncle, Auntie.”
“This is a gift for you.” Mrs. Chu smiled and took out an exquisite box for Krystal.
“Thank you, Auntie. You are so considerate.” Krystal took it and smiled even more brightly. However, why wasn’t Kai here yet?
Mrs. Chu seemed to read Krystal’s mood as she said with a smile, “He’s a little late. I heard that he wanted to give you a surprise.”
“Actually, I’m already very surprised that he’s even coming,” Krystal said with pursed lips, her face glowing.
Her words naturally made Mr. and Mrs. Chu happy.
Mrs. Chu really liked how lenient and sensible she was. She smiled and said, “I heard you’ve signed quite a few good contracts recently?”
