After I picked up the villain, I became popular

Chapter 236 Birthday
It was Ling Yao's birthday.

She didn't expect that many people sent messages of blessings and red envelopes in the morning.

Most of them are schoolmates.

Not to mention Xie He and Lin Maozhong, they sent a large amount of red envelopes at midnight.

After Ling Yao finished washing, it took more than ten minutes to collect the red envelope, and thanked others by the way.

When she came out of the room, Fu Jingyan seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time.

"you--"

Before Ling Yao could speak, Fu Jingyan handed over a gift box.

"Happy birthday." Fu Jingyan looked up at her, the corners of his mouth raised, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

His smile made Ling Yao suddenly think of the phrase "a beautiful woman smiles and turns her starry eyes".

She was stunned for a while before accepting the gift, "Thank you."

"But when did you prepare? You didn't seem to go out yesterday, did you?"

"Recently." Fu Jingyan was vague.

In fact, he had this one ready for the last month.

As for what Zhuang Shaocheng said at the beginning to give a surprise, all of them were rejected by Fu Jingyan.

"You can open it first to see if you like it."

Ling Yao smiled and asked back, "Can I return it if I don't like it?"

Fu Jingyan nodded solemnly, "I can consider giving you another one, this one doesn't need to be refunded."

"I really agreed." Ling Yao sat down and opened the gift box, "I was just joking."

If the red envelope is not counted, this is the first birthday gift Ling Yao received here.

No matter what it is, she will gladly accept it.

Ling Yao opened the gift box and found a bracelet inside.

The bracelet is entirely made of emerald gemstones and transparent diamonds. The most rare thing is that these gemstones and diamonds are all the same size, shaped like ears of wheat, but not so neat.

Even if Ling Yao doesn't know much about gems, she still knows that this bracelet is very valuable.

Although others give gifts, it is not good to mention the price.

But Ling Yao still couldn't help asking:

"This should be expensive, right?"

"Fortunately."

"What do you mean..." Ling Yao put the bracelet back into the box, intending to put it away.

"You don't like it?" Fu Jingyan has been paying attention to Ling Yao's reaction and movements.

"No." Ling Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "I think it's very beautiful."

"Then why aren't you wearing it?"

"Isn't this expensive? As the saying goes, don't show your wealth..."

"Accessories are for people to wear."

Ling Yao: "..."

There is no way to refute it.

After all, Fu Jingyan was right.

"Put it on." Fu Jingyan said, "This is not expensive. If it is lost or broken, I will give it to you again."

As he expected, Ling Yao really doesn't know the value of gems and diamonds.

Hearing what Fu Jingyan said, Ling Yao hesitated for a while, but put it on anyway.

She stretched out her hand and motioned Fu Jingyan to take a look.

"very nice."

"I feel so too."

Ling Yao didn't know that there was only one bracelet in the world, and it wasn't always possible to buy it if you had money.

Because it is completely customized by the designer.

The combined value of these gems and diamonds alone is nearly 3000 million.

Not to mention the design and the added value brought by well-known designers.

If you take it to auction, it will definitely be a sky-high price.

But Ling Yao put on the bracelet and went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast...

However, Fu Jingyan was still watching with a smile, not feeling anything wrong at all.

If someone who knows the value of the bracelet is here, they probably can't help but cry out.

Ling Yao only had breakfast with Fu Jingyan, and at noon, she was called out by Xie He.

Originally, she wanted to take Fu Jingyan to go with her.

Because Xie He said that there is no way to hold a birthday party for her at night, so let's have dinner together at noon to celebrate.

It is justifiable to bring Fu Jingyan.

How did he know that Fu Jingyan was busy with work today, so he couldn't be together.

Ling Yao had to go alone.

As soon as she reached the door of the restaurant, Lin Tongtong ran over.

"I was just about to make a call." Ling Yao shook the phone in her hand.

"My mother asked me to wait for you here." Lin Tongtong pouted, "She really only sees me as a tool."

"Excuse me."

Ling Yao knows Xie He's attitude towards her.

Maybe it was because she felt that she must have suffered a lot at home before, so Xie He was completely doting on Ling Yao.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If it weren't for your birthday today, I wouldn't listen to her."

Lin Tongtong was also the type who would not wrong himself.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Ling Yao kept up with her, "Why did you think of eating outside today? I remember that godmother seems to like cooking."

"My mother said to celebrate your birthday today, if it's still the same as usual, wouldn't it be a sense of ceremony?" Lin Tongtong also deeply agreed with this.

The idea of ​​going out to eat was exactly what she thought.

Because Lin's family only occasionally hires part-time workers to clean, now that Lin Tongtong has finished his college entrance examination, she must be the one to clean up after celebrating his birthday.

Lin Tongtong was 1 unhappy in his heart.

"It's here." Lin Tongtong said with a smile, "This is the only big box left in this restaurant."

"Is there anyone else?" Ling Yao thought Xie He had invited someone else when she heard about the big box.

"No."

Lin Tongtong shook his head, pushed open the door and signaled Ling Yao to go in first.

The moment Ling Yao stepped in with one foot, the ribbon salute beside the door rang out with a "bang", and then a large pile of ribbons fell down.

"Happy birthday Yaoyao!" Xie He and Lin Maozhong said in unison.

However, Lin Maozhong's voice was a little soft, and Xie He couldn't help complaining.

"Look at you, the voice is so small!"

Xie He really dislikes Lin Maozhong every day.

Ling Yao covered her mouth and laughed, "Thank you godfather and godmother!"

"You're welcome." Xie He waved his hand, "I know you don't like to be lively, so I didn't invite other people here. Wenya is still at your mother's place recently, and there is no way to come back, so we are here... Come, come, come Come in and sit down."

Xie He grabbed Ling Yao's hand and pulled her to sit at the dining table.

It was only then that Ling Yao noticed that the box had been decorated.

The words "Happy Birthday to Lingyao" were also posted on the wall with colored decorative tape.

There are also balloons and so on, almost everything.

There is also a pink cake in the middle of the dining table, and there is a cartoon villain who looks like Ling Yao on it.

Xie He noticed that she was looking around, so he asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied? Tong Tong always said that neither your godfather nor I have a girlish heart, so these are all her ideas."

"Satisfied." Ling Yao nodded.

In fact, she is more moved.

"Your mother wanted to come back, but her teacher seems to be an old man, very strict, and she failed to ask for leave..."

Xie He opened the laptop on the table while talking.

She had already agreed with Ling Yalan that she would have a video call with Ling Yao at this time.

It's early morning at Ling Yalan's side.

The mother and daughter would occasionally send messages to chat before, so there is not much to say at this time.

After Ling Yao and Ling Yalan finished talking, Xie He came out with four gifts.

"This is from your mother, let me deliver it to you on time, this is from Tongtong, I don't know what this girl sent..."

Before Xie He finished speaking, Lin Tongtong interjected, "I'm giving you something good!"

Xie He ignored her and continued, "This is a gift from me and your godfather..."

"Your godfather is really unreliable. He doesn't even know what to give as a gift, so I just helped him think about it."

Lin Maozhong nodded aside, "Yes, your godmother is responsible for thinking, and I am responsible for spending money."

Ling Yao accepted the gift with a smile.

In fact, we just had a meal together at noon, Xie He and the others insisted on setting up the place with great fanfare.

However, Ling Yao has already deeply experienced such a sense of ritual.

"By the way, Yaoyao, why didn't I see you bring that kid surnamed Fu?" Xie He asked suddenly.

"What kid named Fu?" Lin Maozhong didn't know at all.

"It's Yaoyao's friend."

While the two of them were talking, Lin Tongtong leaned sideways and whispered to Ling Yao, "I asked my mother who he was, and then my mother asked what your relationship is, and I said we were friends..."

"It's okay." Ling Yao had expected it a long time ago. If Lin Tongtong knew it, Xie He would know it too.

What's more, Lin Tongtong's family has nothing to do with the Fu family.

"What are you talking about?" Xie He turned to look at the two who were whispering.

"It's nothing." Ling Yao smiled, "Fu Jingyan has something to do today, so he can't come here."

"Is that so-"

When Lin Maozhong heard it, he couldn't help but wonder, "Where have I heard this name?"

Xie He winked at him and told him to shut up.

"Where have you heard it before? It's a friend of Yaoyao's."

"Oh."

Lin Maozhong wisely didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, when everyone had eaten enough, Xie He asked again, "Yaoyao, what is your relationship with that...with that friend?"

"us--"

"Mom!" Lin Tongtong said in time, "Mom, what are you asking? Sister Yao just graduated, she is a good student, how could she have any special relationship with anyone?"

"Right."

Xie He sneered, and finally did not continue to ask.

"Let's eat the cake first, don't you all have to go to the studio to do styling later?" Lin Tongtong winked at Ling Yao.

I really am still very witty!
Lin Tongtong thought, it must be difficult for Sister Yao to answer the question just now, right?

Ling Yao didn't know what she was thinking at all, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her answer just now.

When the two looked at each other, Xie He had already brought the cake and counted the candles by the way.

"Yaoyao needs eighteen candles this year..."

"Why don't you forget about the candles?" Ling Yao blinked, "It's a bit strange in broad daylight."

Today is Ling Yao's birthday, so she is the oldest.

Xie He readily agreed.

Just after eating, the cakes were simply too much for the few people to finish.

So I ate a little symbolically, and then packed away.

In the afternoon, Xie He brought Ling Yao and Lin Tongtong to the studio.

Since today is not a day off, there are other people in the studio.

Seeing the boss Xie He, everyone greeted him one after another.

They basically knew Lin Tongtong, but not Ling Yao.

So at the beginning, several people asked if Ling Yao was a guest.

"This is my daughter too." Xie He happily introduced, "Isn't it pretty?"

"My daughter's styling must be done by myself!"

"Yaoyao is also in good shape!"

Wherever Xie He went, he had to introduce a few words to others, turning into the rhythm of a dazzling girl every minute.

Lin Tongtong just felt very speechless, and then he didn't forget to complain, "I really picked it up in the trash can."

"Are you jealous?" Ling Yao asked jokingly.

Lin Tongtong waved his hand, "I don't."

In fact, Lin Tongtong was shown off like this when he was a child.

After Xie He introduced Ling Yao to the staff one by one, she took the two of them upstairs.

"Today I will pick out a dress for you!"

As soon as Lin Tongtong got upstairs, he said excitedly, "Sister Yao is so pretty, she must be suitable for all kinds of dresses... I'll take a picture of you wearing a suit, tsk tsk!"

Xie He turned back, "Don't think about it, I have already picked Yaoyao's dress, it is definitely the most suitable for her, there is no need to pick anything else."

"When did you pick it?" Lin Tongtong was disappointed.

"Mom, do you have a good eye? Although it's okay for you to choose dresses for those stars, sister Yao is different from others...or I'll do it..."

Xie He gave her a white look, "I suspect that you are not my own."

Lin Tongtong snorted, "What are you talking about?"

"I can't give birth to such a thick-skinned daughter." Xie He couldn't hold back his serious expression, and laughed out loud.

"Mom!" Lin Tongtong really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, okay, you'd better go and stay aside."

"The dress—"

"I didn't choose the dress, it's fu—"

Xie He stopped after speaking once.

She almost told the truth that "Fu Jingyan sent the dress" just now.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the horse was reined in.

"What?" Lin Tongtong's eyes widened.

"Xiao Hu picked it. She is resting at home today."

Xie He was talking about a member of the studio.

Lin Tongtong snorted, "Sister Hu's aesthetics are not bad."

"You still need to tell me?" Xie He snorted lightly.

Afterwards, she beckoned to Ling Yao again, asking her to come over and try on the dress.

Don't worry about makeup and hairstyle, but if you can't wear the dress, you will be in big trouble.

Xie He opened the curtain opposite Ling Yao and Lin Tongtong, and the dress was behind the curtain.

It was a snow blue chiffon dress. The upper body was designed in a relatively simple suspender skirt style, with a wide belt of the same color at the waist, and the lower body was made of georgette fabric with pleats around the wood ears.

Not to mention the simple style of the dress, the color alone has made many people unable to control it.

In short, this gown is not for everyone.

"Wow--"

Lin Tongtong was amazed, and then took two steps closer, "The material of this dress looks different from ordinary ones...it must be expensive, right?"

"This year's latest haute couture." Xie He replied.

"Mom, did you buy this?"

"No." Xie He glanced at Ling Yao and found that she didn't seem to care much about this issue, so he said with a sigh of relief, "It was sent by someone else. I think it is very suitable for Yao Yao, so I kept it."

Lin Tongtong and Ling Yao naturally wouldn't doubt this half-truth.
