Hearing about Little Youzi's birthday banquet all of a sudden, Zheng Tan hadn't been prepared, and if he had known earlier, he could have figured out a birthday gift. But now, with time so tight, Zheng Tan didn't want to send out a perfunctory and makeshift gift.
Since he couldn't think of a good method to find a nice gift right away, Zheng Tan decided to keep it in mind and give it later when he found something suitable.
As for Little Youzi's irresponsible mother, Jiao Ma had called her, told her about the preparation for Little Youzi's birthday banquet, and she didn't say much. She just sent some money and that was the end of the conversation. The Jiao family members didn't expect Youzi's mom to say much anyway, so with low expectations came little disappointment.
Once the date was set, it was time to book the hotel.
