"Where's Daddy? Isn't he home yet?" asked Lu Wen-Jing eagerly in excitement as they prepared to head for the hotel.
But her father, Lu Ming-Ze, had yet to come home.
Qiu Huan called Lu Ming-Ze.
"What? You can't make it? Okay, go on with your work then. I'll tell the lass about it," said Qiu Huan. Then she quickly turned to look at Lu Wen-Jing.
"Jingjing, something cropped up at work, and he can't make it back this afternoon. Dad will celebrate your birthday with you when he gets back at night, okay?" said Qiu Huan as she smiled.
Lu Wen-Jing couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed. But she nodded and said obediently, "Okay then."
"Your father will keep his promise," said Qiu Huan as she comforted her.
They left for the hotel when they were ready.
"Honghong, how did the hotel booking go?” asked Qiu Huan.
Lu Hong had just finished putting on her makeup and was on the phone.
"Okay, darling, we're on our way down."
Then Lu Hong hung up.
She picked up her purse and chased them, "Jingjing, Auntie Huan, let's go. My fiance is downstairs. He was the one who booked the hotel. He found out it was Jingjing's birthday and insisted on celebrating together.”
Qiu Huan was instantly surprised.
"What? Did Hai-Tao book the hotel? Why didn't you tell me about it? He shouldn't have gone through the trouble. Ask him how much it cost so that I can pay him for it."
Lu Hong smiled as she replied, "Auntie Huan, don't be shy. We will be family in the future, so it's no trouble at all. Moreover, my fiance is loaded. Enough. Auntie Huan, let's go downstairs."
Lu Hong quickly pulled them to go downstairs.
They had to admit that Lu Hong was genuinely good to her cousin, Lu Wen-Jing. Lu Hong would turn up each year to specially celebrate Lu Wen-Jing's birthday.
This time, she even brought her fiance.
In no time, Lu Wen-Jing and Qiu Huan got onto the car.
Ye Fan also came downstairs to get into the car.
But Lu Hong stopped him.
"Sorry, my husband's car is full. Aren't you super capable? If you want to go, then make your way on your own," said Lu Hong with a cold smile as she deliberately embarrassed Ye Fan.
Lu Hong was clearly still upset about Ye Fan overlooking her.
That wasn't the only thing, of course.
From the moment Lu Hong found out Ye Fan was a useless live-in husband, she had nothing but disdain for him.
The events that transpired yesterday was just the fuse.
What a joke.
He was a useless live-in husband.
How could he be so arrogant?
How dare he ignore Lu Hong?
Now he would have to pay for his arrogance!
Lu Hong sneered before getting onto the BMW smugly with a look of superiority on her face.
She appeared as though she was sitting on the throne.
