“Did Dad and Mom buy flowers?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Zhi turned around and said, “Mom and Dad didn’t just buy flowers.”
Tan Rou didn’t understand what Tao Zhi meant, but she immediately understood what her brother was talking about.
Flowers…
They were flowers everywhere. The entire venue was filled with flowers. Blue, pink, and white. There were a total of 17 colors. The flowers of each color formed a circle with a diameter of 1.5 meters. In the middle of each flower cluster was a box that looked like a gift box.
“These are…” Tan Rou suddenly felt a lump in her throat. “Thank you… Thank you so much…”
Mother Tao and Father Tao stood at the top. Mother Tao, who usually didn’t put on much makeup, had put on her makeup today. She was wearing a tight-fitting qipao, looking beautiful. Mr. Tao didn’t wear a suit today. Instead, he wore a dark gray tunic suit that matched Mrs. Tao’s outfit perfectly.
“Rourou, go and open the present. This is your 18th birthday present.” Mother Tao wiped her tears and turned her head away.
Tao Fu comforted her, “Our daughter already came back. Don’t cry.”
“Yes.” Mrs. Tao smiled. “Today is a happy day. 1 can’t cry.”
Tao Zhi pushed Tan Rou forward. “Rourou, hurry up and open the present that Dad and Mom prepared for you.”
The first gift was placed on a white rose. The box wasn’t big. Tan Rou opened it to take a look. It was a set of pink baby clothes and a gold inlaid jade necklace. It looked like a lucky cloud lock.
The second gift was placed on the purple forget-me-not flower. Inside the box was a princess dress. The color was similar to the forget-me-not flower. It was very beautiful.
The third, the fourth… All the way up to the 17th gift, every gift was carefully prepared. They were not as valuable as the dress that Tao Zhi gave Tan Rou, but each of them was precious.
“Daddy, Mommy…” Tan Rou was so touched that tears fell. She walked to her parents and hugged them tightly. “To me, the best gift I’ve received in the past 18 years is being reunited with all of you.
Mrs. Tao felt very upset when she heard that. Her tears fell again. “My child, I’ve made you suffer.”
The rest of her brothers also ran over. The family hugged each other tightly and enjoyed this happy moment.
Except for poor Tao Qi….
He was the only one still in school. Due to how Tan Rou said he was not allowed to take leave, he could only wait for someone to pick him up at school.
Tao Zheng took out his camera to record this moment. He would pick up Tao Qi later. When Tao Qi arrived, they would then take a real family photo. This time, Tao Zhi was finally home Their family would now be complete.
It was a birthday present for the 18th year, but Tan Rou had only opened 17 boxes, and there were only 17 flower balls.
Tan Rou was still looking for where her parents had hidden the last gift when Mother Tao took out a box and handed it to her. Tan Rou opened the box and was shocked by what was inside.
On the other side, Tan Song finally squeezed into the birthday banquet venue with Tan Jing. He originally thought that with his status, he would be able to get a familiar face. He did not expect the people here to be celebrities from all walks of life.
“My goodness!” Zhao Ru trembled with excitement. “Isn’t that the superstar He Lei? He’s super handsome, I like him! Can I go over and ask him for an autograph?”
Tan Jing rolled her eyes and said calmly, “Don’t make a fuss like a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world. You came with me today. Don’t embarrass me.”
Zhao Ru had never attended a banquet with so influential personnel. The biggest banquet she had attended was Tan Jing’s family recognition banquet. At that time, she was still following Wei Ling and didn’t have the chance to talk.
“That, that…” Zhao Ru was excited again. “Isn’t that the most famous house designer in the country? Why is he here?” Zhao Ru’s father was in the renovation industry, so she knew a lot about designers.
“I told you, you’re shouting like a country bumpkin! I shouldn’t have brought you here,” Tan Jing said unhappily.
Zhao Ru was worried that Tan Jing would kick her out, so she tried to please her, “Jingjing, 1 won’t say it anymore. Don’t be angry, okay?”
Tan Jing picked up a glass of champagne and ordered, “Follow me. Don’t talk or look around..”
