Then, he looked over to Qiao Nian and bragged, "Before, the Dean offered me a free ticket to the UCC. Someone mocked that the free ticket meant all sorts of people can get into UCC. What sort of person am I? Who am I? I'm someone who scored higher than you! I am someone who's getting into UCC because of my own capabilities!"
The last sign of color on Qiao Nian's face had drained. She collapsed onto the ground soullessly.
Qiao Ziwen, who'd been silent ever since Feng Heng proposed to Qiao Qing, finally sighed. He glared at Qin Yongmei, "Look at how the daughter you raised turned out!"
Then, he turned around and left in big leaps.
Qiao Zhizhuo however, chuckled and comforted Qiao Nian, "It's okay. It's okay. You did well."
Turning around, he then looked over to Qiao Qing, "Qingqing sure has brought honor to the Qiao family! You're more talented than your father! I have been blind, don't blame me."
Though Qiao Nian had humiliated herself publicly, it did not at all lessen the joy Qiao Qing brought him. Qiao Zhizhuo's eyes sparkled as he stared at Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing ignored him. Instead, she looked at the two small mountains of Pearls of Fortune and Marriage. What a headache. How was she going to get rid of it?
Qin Yongmei regained herself after a long while. She glanced at Qiao Nian, who had collapsed on the ground, as she gritted her teeth out of anger. Her daughter had failed to live up to her expectations.
She was about to leave when the butler on the side came to her, "Ma'am, we have not brought out the cake for the two ladies yet."
"Cake? What cake? You think I'm in the mood for cake?!" Qin Yongmei scolded with her eyes red. Leaving behind Qiao Nian, she tried to walk away.
Happy with how everything turned out, Mu Jinghang laughed, "Just because you're not in the mood, doesn't mean the rest of us aren't. We need to go through with our Qingqing's coming of age party! We are not going to skip any steps!"
Then, he slapped his hands, "Get the cake!"
After he ordered, a few men in black slowly walked up on stage with a giant nine-layered cake.
"Wow ⊙ω⊙, this is huge!"
"What a beautiful cake!"
"Oh my god! It's a cake from Mafu Bakery!"
"I've never been able to get a cake there! I had it once at a friend's party. It's super good!"
"..."
He Wanqing found it hard to close her mouth, "This cake sure is exquisite. Little Xuan sure is caring!"
Mu Jinghang, "..."
Though it was per his third brother's order, he was the one who had to execute the task! Can't anyone recognize him for what he's done?
No matter how speechless he was, Mu Jinghang still had to magically pull out a crown and hand it to Jun Yexuan.
Finding this funny, Jun Yexuan peeked at him, took over the crown, and walked behind Qiao Qing. Gently, he placed it on her head.
Then, he pressed down onto her shoulders and brought her to the cake, "Qingqing, happy birthday."
Qiao Qing raised her head and looked at him.
Jun Yexuan looked back at her. His eyes were full of love, "Consider saying your wish out loud. If it's something I can do, I'll make sure it comes true."
Qiao Qing's heart skipped a beat. She then lowered her head, closed her eyes, and clasped her fingers together.
The scene before her eyes turned into a white hospital room.
If there is a God, then I wish you would allow my dad to wake up soon.
Staring at how intimate these two were acting, Qi Feng was furious.
Worried, he looked over to Feng Heng, "Sect Leader, the cake we prepared..."
Feng Heng interrupted him by raising his arm. His gaze remained on Qiao Qing's flaming red gown. There was a bitter taste in his mouth.
After Qiao Qing made a wish, Mu Jinghang walked up with a knife for the cake, "Time for cake! Everyone gets a piece!"
At once, all the guests got out of their seats.
Just then, the sound of fireworks exploding erupted in the sky.
Someone howled, "Look up! It's beautiful!"
