The night was dazzling with flickering lights from the Huan's mansion. The area where the event would be held was located near the enormous pool.
The mini custom-made stage was decorated with a thick cotton curtain with purple designs.
The old man, or should we say the celebrant for today's main event loved purple things.
The aisle going to the pool was paved with a glittering colored stone.
The tables were set by a famous catering group in the city. Along with the hired musician that would make the night even more lively and beautiful.
Among the crowd that are beginning to gather, Xiang Mo was early to arrive. She's even there an hour before the event starts. Huan Ro was still at the company and had passed a message that he'll gonna be late.
Xiang Mo acted as a kind daughter-in-law to the Huan Clan as she helped in the preparations of the whole event.
She even brought with her a hundred-year-old wine as a souvenir from her last trip from c city to the Huan parents.
Huan She Mei, Huan Ro's mother fully received her gift as she plastered a wide smile of the face, " Thank you on this dear, your father would really like this. That man really is a sucker of different wines. You know how to build your way huh? That's why Huan Ro's lucky to have you."
Xiang Mo grin, "It's not really worth to mention mom, I love buying those things for dad."
"Then dear, just rest in Huan Ro's room. I know you are tired. We'll just call you when it's starting."
Xiang Mo shook her head, "It's okay Mom, I want everything to be perfect on grandpa's day. Besides I'm not even tired."
She Mei felt happy about Xiang MoMo's diligence and hard work. They were not yet married but she already took all her time taking care of Huan Ro and the family.
She Mei feeling bless patted the girl's shoulder and told her to just do whatever she wanted, since she's already part of the family and she's not a stranger to them now.
Now alone on her own, she took her phone and dialed an unknown number.
"Are you sure she's not going to this party?"
There was a man's answer on the other line.
"If not, then what are you doing! I think that girl has fully recuperated, why is she still not discharge from that hospital! You better do your best to get her here!!! I don't take a failed mission, you got that!"
The soft and delicate voice that she was displaying was nowhere to be found and was replaced with a high rough pitch tone.
The person on the other end received her order as he nodded and disappeared.
After ending the call, Xiang Mo's face changed as a drop of a hat and such. Now, what she was displaying was an innocent and delicate bumpkin girl whom Huan Ro was attracted to.
One hour had passed swiftly, and one by one the guests and visitors are arriving.
Huan Ro came a little earlier than he had expected and as soon as he stepped upon the venue of the event, his eyes caught the attention of Xiang Mo.
Her outfit was not extravagant unlike any other prominent ladies wearing. Her makeup was not that also thick and could clearly see her well defined innocent face.
Xiang Mo was situated near the food stand as the light went flickering on and off. He walks to where she was and embraces her from the back.
Xiang Mo was caught surprise but soon turn over and hug him by the neck as she pecked small kisses on his cheeks.
The two were caught in their own world that they forgot people are looking at them in amusement and cheerfulness.
This time, Huan's Mother and Father came and greeted their newly arrived son.
Huan She Mei, seeing his son here felt that this event was even more wonderful and successful.
The host of the night's event was a big shot celebrity, and as soon as he announced the start everyone shouted in joy.
The event's birthday boy has yet to come since the old man was weak he only needed to be brought on a certain small duration of time.
Huan Ro decided to slip for a while and visited his old man. Since his stroke last year, they didn't talk much to him. He's two feet we're paralyzed and needed the aid of a wheelchair in order for him to stroll the garden. It was his favorite spot and every day, a nurse would often stroll him along with the blooming flowers and chirping birds.
"Grandfather..." He bent down and put a kiss on the old man's forehead.
The old man sitting in the wheelchair keeps on staring at far off the end of the room.
"I brought you gifts. Happy birthday, grandpa!"
There was no response to the old man. He didn't even receive the gift that Huan Ro handed to him.
"Little YiYi..." The old kept repeating and repeating that name. Huan Ro didn't know what to do. Su Ci Yi didn't want to do anything to their family. She can't drag her here anymore.
Since the time when he introduced Xiang MoMo to him, he didn't even respond to his talking. Last time the old man would nod his head or perform some small actions that could be thought as his way of recognizing the person in front since he's speaking has been damage. But now, he didn't. He only continued to pretend like someone was not in front of him and even whispering Su Ci Yi's name whenever in front of him. As if, he was trying to remember him about her.
It's as if, his grandpa could sense that something had happened within their clan.
Huan Ro kneeled down in order to meet the old man's view, "Grandpa, YiYi doesn't want to see you anymore."
