Jing Yanxi opened the box, slid his hands on the screen, and replied casually, “She’s my little sister.”

Li Manting got startled and stared at Li Muchen.

Li Muchen shook his head at once. “Her mother works in my villa. She’s Yan Yan’s classmate in the kindergarten.”

Li Manting nodded and turned to look at Jiu Jiu again. The little girl looked thin and weak. Perhaps she was around three or four years old. With such delicate facial features, she was absolutely a beauty. Her parents must also be very good-looking.

Li Manting was still a little worried. “Nowadays, all women want to find a rich husband. Every time I have dinner with those ladies, they would leave many photos and business cards in my hands. They especially want the two of you to be their daughters’ husbands. Chen, I trust you. If you want to remarry, I won’t stop you. But not every woman can enter our family.”

“Mom!” Li Muchen glanced at Jiu Jiu, who was watching TV on the sofa and said, “Please don’t say that. Don’t worry. I go out early and come back late every day. Her mother and I hardly meet at home. It’s just that the two kids have a good relationship.”

The creases on Li Manting’s forehead smoothened, and she nodded. “That’s good then. As I’ve said, I trust you. All right. Call your brother down and get ready for lunch.”

The Jing family had strict rules when it came to birthday celebrations. Even if it was his favorite great-grandson’s birthday, Old Mr. Jing didn’t want the party to be wasteful and grand. Those friends and relatives who came just handed the gifts and left at once. The birthday banquet was only a family lunch.

Soon, they all sat at the dining table. The flickering candlelight reflected Jing Yanxi’s smiling face. He put his hands together and made a wish. Then he puffed up his mouth and blew out all the candles.

“Wow!” Old Mr. Jing held Jing Yanxi’s hand, and they cut the cake together.

“Jiu Jiu, do you like strawberries?” Old Mr. Jing asked while cutting the part of the cake with lots of strawberries on top.

Jiu Jiu glanced at the cake. She knew that it was the part with most strawberries, so she shook her head and said thoughtfully, “It is Yan Yan’s birthday. He should eat it.”

Jing Yanxi shook his head too. “No, I’m a boy. I don’t like strawberries. Great-grandpa, give it to Jiu Jiu.”

Seeing that neither of the kids wanted to take the piece of cake, everyone laughed out loud. Then Zhang Luoya joked, “Yan Yan is so kind to his little girlfriend.”

She thought that her words would resonate with everyone. After all, the two kids both wore white outfits, beautiful and delicate like a golden couple. Then she also remembered her cousin’s son, who always talked about his girlfriend every day. But much to her surprise, Jing Yanxi rolled his eyes at her and snapped angrily, “You are such a dumb duck! I’ve already said that she’s my little sister.”

Zhang Luoya’s pretty face was filled with embarrassment and annoyance. And tears of grievance welled up in her eyes in an instant.

Li Muchen held back his anger, but he still scolded, “Yan Yan, how can you be so rude? Apologize to your Auntie now!”

Li Manting also pacified Zhang Luoya.

Even Old Mr. Jing glared at Jing Yanxi disapprovingly. Usually, he would just turn a deaf ear to his great-grandson’s words. But this time, all the members of the Jing family were here. Jing Yanxi embarrassed Zhang Luoya like this and made her cry. This was not what a man in the Jing family should do.

Jing Yanxi just blurted it out on an impulse. But he also regretted it at once. After all, Jing Muchen liked this ugly woman. But when he saw the angry look on everyone’s face, he lost his temper and threw the cake to the floor. He then climbed down the chair and ran upstairs quickly.

Seeing that Jing Yanxi was throwing a tantrum, Li Muchen got angry. He pushed the chair back, stood up, and ran upstairs to catch up with Jing Yanxi.

Old Mr. Jing was so anxious. Afraid that Li Muchen would do something to Jing Yanxi, he shouted, “Chen, just let Yan Yan admit his mistake. He is just a child..”
