"We already agreed on this yesterday, what do you mean by standing me up today?!"
Chen Siqi said angrily to the person on the other end of the phone.
Not knowing what the other party said, Chen Siqi hung up the phone angrily, her face with exquisite makeup filled with anger.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Liu Wei'an said through the door: "Siqi, are you ready? The guests are here."
Hearing Liu Wei'an's voice, Chen Siqi frowned in annoyance and glared at the door with disgust, but her tone was obedient: "It will be done soon."
"By the way, when will your classmates arrive? I didn't see any of your classmates downstairs."
Chen Siqi clenched her fists tightly.
The two people who had agreed to meet her before had both stood her up today, leaving only Lu Yanhe...
Will he come?
Chen Siqi let go of her hand and said, "On the way."
"Okay, then you remind them to hurry up so they can sing you a happy birthday song." Liu Weian said and left.
Chen Siqi took out her cell phone and wanted to call Lu Yanhe, but she didn't dare to make the call.
She was afraid of hearing Lu Yanhe tell her that he couldn't come either.
So none of her friends came to her birthday party today.
Chen Siqi pursed her lips stubbornly, and suddenly another figure appeared in her mind.
Xu Zijun.
Since she could buy her answers, maybe she could also pay her to come to the birthday party?
Although... Chen Siqi's mind flashed with Xu Zijun's chubby figure and black-framed glasses.
Such an image would definitely be discussed privately by people at the scene.
How could her friend Chen Siqi have such an image?
But it’s better than no friends coming at all.
Chen Siqi made a hard decision, found Xu Zijun in the address book, and sent her a message.
It was getting late and she couldn't hide in her room any longer.
Chen Siqi stood up and walked towards the door with a sullen face.
The moment she opened the door, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
-
Liu Wei'an was wearing an exceptionally grand velvet dress today, which was embroidered with gorgeous diamonds and silver threads, making her look sparkling.
In this grand party with many guests, she greeted every guest like a hostess.
"Vian, when I came here today, I was completely impressed by you." A woman, also wearing a new season dress from a famous brand, said to Liu Wei'an in front of seven or eight other women with deep emotion, "You threw such a grand birthday party for that little girl Chen Siqi. If it were me, I really wouldn't have the heart to do it. Only you are willing to put in such effort."
Everyone exchanged a knowing look in their eyes.
——She is just a stepdaughter, not her biological child.
Liu Weian smiled gently and said, "Siqi's biological mother passed away early, leaving her without a mother to take care of her. Although I'm not her biological mother, we've developed a lot of feelings for each other over the years. A girl's eighteenth birthday is very precious, so of course I have to help her."
"I heard from my daughter that Siqi always seems to be alone at school and doesn't have many friends," another woman suddenly said. "Vian, is she a bit of a loner?"
Liu Wei'an showed a surprised expression. "No way? She always told me that she has a lot of friends at school, and many friends came to her birthday party today. Xiaolin, how could you think Siqi has no friends at school?"
Li Lin stood beside her mother and said generously, "Aunt Wei An, because I saw Si Qi at school, she was always alone."
"I haven't heard of anyone getting along well with Siqi." Someone immediately said, "Vian, you should pay more attention to her. After all, her biological mother died young, and children like that are prone to psychological problems, aren't they?"
"You're exaggerating! How could that be possible?" Liu Wei'an said immediately, "Her friends from school will also be coming to the party today. You'll see them soon."
"Really? Why don't I see anyone?" Li Lin looked around. "I don't see any of my classmates either."
"They said they are on the way." Liu Wei'an looked at Li Lin deeply and said.
The women gathered together to chat.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Siqi has grown into a big girl! She is getting more and more beautiful!"
The sound attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Siqi walked down the stairs slowly, holding up the hem of her skirt. As more and more people turned their eyes to her, she became more nervous and tried harder to maintain her beauty and elegance.
But she is just an eighteen-year-old high school girl, and she still has a youthful air.
This gave her a bit of girlish pride.
She put on a perfect smile and saluted everyone present.
Chen Siqi is very beautiful.
Li Lin looked at her face and the jealousy in her heart couldn't help but spread.
Because of their parents' relationship, they have known each other since childhood, and therefore, people around them often compare them.
Li Lin has a round face, while Chen Siqi has a thin oval face. When they were young, Li Lin was round and cute, while Chen Siqi looked malnourished. Everyone praised Li Lin for her beauty. However, as they grew older and their bodies began to shrink, the difference between them became more obvious.
The little girl who was once so thin that she seemed malnourished has grown into a girl with fair skin, bright and charming appearance, while the little girl who was once plump and cute, although not ugly, has gradually been described as "sunny, brilliant, generous and decent".
Li Lin is jealous of Chen Siqi.
Therefore, she has been trying her best to lower everyone's opinion of Chen Siqi.
Liu Wei'an glanced at Li Lin gently, then immediately stood beside Chen Siqi and held her hand.
Chen Siqi wanted to hide, but couldn't.
"Siqi, come here, I'll take you to say hello to the aunts first. They have watched you grow up." Liu Weian said with a smile.
Chen Siqi glanced at her father.
Her father was standing with another person, talking and laughing, his eyes looking at her.
Seeing her looking over, he signaled her with his eyes to follow Liu Wei'an.
Chen Siqi's heart sank.
Over the past few years, Liu Wei'an has completely captured her father's heart. He firmly believes that everything Liu Wei'an says and does is for her own good.
Chen Siqi wants to change all this and expose Liu Wei'an's true face.
But she never did.
Liu Wei'an is too good at disguising herself.
"Siqi, your aunts just asked you if you are a loner at school. I heard that you don't have many friends at school. Li Lin also said that you always hang out by yourself at school. Please explain to the aunts what's going on." She said, putting her arm around Chen Siqi's shoulders.
In order to protect the Liu family's face, the two people stood on a united front with common interests.
Chen Siqi's face darkened and she looked coldly at Li Lin who was standing beside her.
Li Lin immediately showed an innocent expression and said, "Siqi, I didn't say that. It was obviously my mother who misunderstood what I meant. I just said that you don't usually go out with others, but I didn't say that you are a loner."
Chen Siqi smiled magnanimously and said, "It's okay. After all, you're an art student, and the academic requirements aren't high. So you probably can't understand how busy we are as students taking the college entrance exam. How can we have time to hang out or hang out with friends after school? We're all racing against time to study."
