Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 46 Birthday Wishes
Zhang Jiao couldn't take it any longer, she went to talk to her uncle, and then went upstairs to sleep.

As he went up the stairs, he felt emotional. Sure enough, people with successful careers are different from her kind of salted fish.

Staying up late is better than her ability to stay up.

After this banquet, the name Zhang Jiao became famous among the upper class society in Hong Kong City.

She is no longer a passer-by who cannot be searched for. When she is mentioned, she will always be given more labels, such as the eldest lady of Hongji Shipping, the earl's niece.

Of course, there are also some well-informed people who have found out the details of her worth.

No, the day before her birthday, the door of the house was never closed, and all the gifts came to the door.

This led to Chu Chan, who came back early to celebrate Zhang Jiao's birthday in the evening, to see a living room full of large and small gift boxes.She couldn't help but exclaimed, "What's going on?" She carefully stepped on the gap between the gift boxes and came to Zhang Jiao.

At this time, Zhang Jiao was opening the gift with great interest, just like opening a blind box, which was quite interesting.

"Oh, it's just a gift from someone else."

Her attention was all on unpacking the box, and she replied to Chu Chan perfunctorily.

Chu Chan: "..." Do you think she can't see it?

"Who is so generous? The living room is almost too big to fit." She really wasn't exaggerating.

Zhang Jiao had no place to sit at the moment and was sitting on the gift box!

"That's a lot of people, you can see for yourself." Zhang Jiao threw the gift list compiled by Qi's mother to Chu Chan.

Chu Chan didn't catch it, and hit her arm directly. The pain made her doubt her life.

Where is this gift list? It's clearly a book, right?
She picked up the gift list from the ground and flipped through it casually, "Why have these big shots in the port city started giving you gifts?"

Chu Chan is quite strange. Zhang Jiao shouldn't be anything special, right?

"Why not? I have a good uncle with a great fortune!"

Zhang Jiao told her the ins and outs of the matter.

It was only then that Chu Chan suddenly realized, let’s just say, Zhang Jiao had never seen such a big battle on Zhang Jiao’s birthday in previous years, so something special must have happened.

"So are you going to invite these people tomorrow?"

Chu Chan also squatted down and took a gift box casually, and started to unpack the blind box with a spare paper cutter.

"No, I'll ask Mother Qi to keep the account, and I'll give it back next time there's a happy event at someone else's house. We'll spend it together tomorrow."

Zhang Jiao knew what she was doing by inviting irrelevant people to her home without making everyone feel uncomfortable.

That's good, Chu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she would have to run away.

Zhang Jiao sneered, "You are really useless."

Before Chu Chan could refute, she was interrupted.

"Who is useless?" Chu Yan walked in with a small bag.Seeing that they were all unpacking the gift boxes, she ran over excitedly.

"Wow, open the presents! I want to play too."

Seeing that she wanted to join in the fun, Zhang Jiao called Qi's mother and asked her to bring another paper knife.

Fortunately, I have a lot of paper knives at home, otherwise it wouldn’t be enough for three people.

"Miss." Qi's mother handed the paper cutter to Zhang Jiao, "Be careful when unpacking the box, otherwise it will be bad if you cut your hand."

"Understood, I will pay attention." Zhang Jiao gave the paper cutter in his hand to Chu Yan, and used the new one that Qi's mother brought.

After a few words with Qi's mother, she was busy with her "new career".

Qi's mother shook her head and went back to the kitchen. Why do young ladies nowadays like to play with unpacking gift boxes?I really can't figure it out.

The three sisters couldn't finish unpacking the gift box until midnight, leaving half of the gift box in the living room lying there intact.

Chu Yan wailed uncontrollably, "Ah! I don't play anymore, I want to sleep!"

"I want to sleep too!"

Zhang Jiao rolled her eyes at her, "I don't know who it is, but she said so harshly that she won't sleep until the demolition is finished!"

The two little talkative little cuties flew upstairs and shouted in unison, "It's not me anyway."

Zhang Jiao shook her head helplessly, wondering if they would dare to tell lies with their eyes open in the future.

She also threw down the paper knife and went upstairs. She didn't want to open it any more. She would save it for later and take her time. There was no rush. She would receive a gift tomorrow, so let's open it together then.

Qi's mother took the servants to move all the gift boxes to the empty room on the first floor early in the morning, and emptied the living room to start decorating.

Zhang Jiao got up early, and walked out of the room wearing her favorite cheongsam with a stand collar.

Zhiyuan stood outside Zhang Jiao's door, wanting to be the first to send her blessings, and when he saw her come out, he stepped forward and hugged her.

"Sister, happy birthday!"

"Thank you Zhiyuan." Zhang Jiao smiled. Hearing blessings when she woke up early in the morning always made people feel happy.

"This is a gift from me to you."

Zhang Jiao took it in surprise, "I will definitely keep it in my collection!"

This seems to be Zhiyuan's first real birthday gift to her, and she must treasure it well.

Zhiyuan scratched his hair in embarrassment, "As long as my sister likes it, that's fine."

"I like it very much!" Zhang Jiao is seeking truth from facts, and she likes any gift with her heart.

Sister Zhiyuan paid so much attention to her gift that she smiled so happily that the corners of her mouth almost reached the base of her ears.

"Hurry up and have breakfast. You have to go to school today." Zhang Jiao really wanted him to stay and celebrate together, but unfortunately today was a school day.

Zhiyuan also nodded regretfully, "Okay, sister, I'll have dinner with you when I come back tonight."

Zhang Jiao nodded. Seeing him obediently going downstairs, she went back to the room and tried to pull Chu Yan and Chu Chan up.

"Get up, get up, you have to accompany me to greet my relatives and friends today."

Last night, the three of them slept together on Zhang Jiao's bed. After unpacking the gift boxes, they lay together and chatted for a long time.

But the work of waking people up is really too difficult!

"Ah! Let me sleep a little longer! I slept so late last night, just sleep a little longer!" Chu Yan put the quilt over her head and protested with words and actions.

Chu Yan was different. She wrapped herself in a quilt and didn't move without saying a word.

Zhang Jiao: "..." It's just a matter of getting out of bed, it's not enough!

There was no other way, Zhang Jiao had no choice but to give up these two unreliable helpers and go downstairs by herself.

Not long after she had breakfast, relatives and friends arrived one after another.

The first one to come was his uncle. As soon as he saw Zhang Jiao, he gave Zhang Jiao the two big gifts he had promised.

Each of the two gift boxes was as big as Zhang Jiao's palm.

Zhang Jiao shook her head curiously, and put her ear up to listen, trying to guess what it was.

But no results were heard.

Nordin felt that Zhang Jiao was a bit naive like this, "honey, don't you know if you take it apart and see for yourself?"

Zhang Jiao thought about it, so she pulled off the ribbon on the gift, opened it carefully, and found that it was a piece of paper.

She picked it up and saw that it was a land deed. "Uncle, what title deed is this?"

Nordin smiled mysteriously, "It's a manor. You'll know it after you visit it yourself."

Well, it should be good to make it so mysterious!

Zhang Jiao closed the box, but didn't open another box. She wanted to enjoy the surprise of opening the blind box at night.

After that, my aunt's family and my uncle's family all came.

Zhou Bufan and her new husband also entered the Zhang family in the last wave.

Everyone happily wished her a happy birthday as soon as they entered the door, and stuffed the birthday present into her hands. Zhang Jiao happily took it and laughed happily all day.

Chu Yan and Chu Chan were also sensible. When they heard the movement below, they hurriedly washed themselves and went downstairs.

When everyone was almost here, Zhang Jiao led them from the living room to the dining room to sit down.

The original long table in the restaurant was removed and replaced with a long wooden table, enough to seat so many people.

The original intention of Zhang Jiao to host the birthday party was to be lively, after all, the days in the mansion are usually deserted.

Humans, after all, are social animals, and sometimes they always yearn for some lively atmosphere.

Zhang Jiao wanted to take advantage of her birthday to get together with relatives and friends.

Just as they were preparing to have a banquet, Chu Yan suddenly said, "Cousin, please wait a moment, Brother Tangqiu hasn't arrived yet."

Zhang Jiao's eyes flicked to the long table. Hey, he hadn't arrived yet.

"Why is he so late? Did he tell you?"

Chu Yan shook her head, she was not too clear.

Zhang Jiao looked at the elders who were chatting with embarrassment. When she was a little hesitant, Tang Qiu finally arrived late.

When he came, he also brought a big cake, which was pushed in on a cart by several staff members.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, everyone's attention was attracted by this cart. Tang Qiu did not show off and directly motioned to the staff to lift the cover.

Only then did everyone realize that the cake was actually multi-layered. "Wow! Seeing your great intentions, I don't care about your being late."

Today was a special day. Tang Qiu did not argue with her, the birthday girl, and took the initiative to take a step back. "Yes, yes, thank you sir for having a lot."

Zhang Jiao waved her hand and stepped aside, "Go find Chu Yan, I reserved a seat for you!"

This time Tang Qiu spoke more sincerely, "Junior Sister, I wish you a happy birthday!" After speaking, she ran into the restaurant and sat down next to Chu Yan.

Zhang Jiao was speechless, as expected, the friendship between senior brothers and sisters was nothing but loose sand, which would be scattered by the wind.

She also followed into the restaurant and sat next to the elders.

Looking at the relatives and friends sitting next to each other, they were chatting and laughing lively.

Zhang Jiao can't be happy just watching and not participating.

"Everyone, let's sing a blessing song for Jiaojiao!" Chu Yan and Tang Qiu whispered a few words, then stood up and said loudly.

"Okay, okay, let's come together!" Nuoding also joined in the fun with the young people.

Not to be outdone, Chu Chan started for everyone, "Get ready, sing! Happy birthday to you..."

More and more voices joined in, and they became louder and louder. Zhang Jiao couldn't help but clap and sing at the same time.

The event that was supposed to be held during the cake cutting started right now, but it didn't violate harmony at all to be happy.

After singing, Zhang Jiao stood up, "Thank you everyone, I love you!"

She raised her hands above her head in a gesture of love.

"Hahahaha..." She deliberately made her movements very funny and made everyone laugh.

This feeling is really too happy.
