Chapter 1245: Chapter 1265

Gu Shili stared at the empty space where her figure used to be, lost in thought for a long time, feeling somewhat uneasy, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint why. It wasn’t the kind of unease that stems from fearing she’d be in danger, but rather a different kind altogether.

On the way back, Gu Shili received a call from Yang Yafei, asking if he had time to have a meal together as today was his mother’s birthday.

Gu Shili was in a bad mood at the moment and rejected her outright, saying he had important matters and couldn’t make it.

Yang Yafei had no choice but to hang up disappointed.

She held the phone in a daze, thinking Yang Lifan was truly foolish, offending her own son so severely—there was really no one like her.

"Yafei, what are you thinking about?" Yang Lifan walked over swiftly, noticing her lost in thought, and asked aloud.

"Oh, I was thinking since today is your birthday, where should we go to celebrate it? Today is your big day, we ought to celebrate it properly."

Today marked Yang Lifan’s fiftieth milestone birthday, and she dared not forget it, nor could she organize it too simply.

"If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have forgotten. Did you call Shili? Ask him to come over as well." Yang Lifan promptly stated.

Yang Yafei’s smile turned awkward, she really admired this woman, having previously offended her son severely, yet now acting as though nothing happened, asking him to come celebrate her birthday.

"I just called and couldn’t get through, I’ll try again later." Yang Yafei didn’t contradict her, just replied with a smile, "I’ve booked a big room today, so everyone can come and have a lively time."

"You handle everything, also, give everyone a big red envelope." Yang Lifan was in a good mood and generous as well.

Yang Yafei agreed and went to discuss this matter with the staff. With red envelopes involved, everyone was naturally delighted and rushed over to congratulate Yang Lifan.

Yang Yafei was now troubled, if Gu Shili really doesn’t show up, Yang Lifan might throw a fit and leave on the spot.

"Yafei, call Shili again, you don’t know, when he was a child, he once made me a small birthday cake himself, showing how much he loved me as his mother." Recalling Gu Shili’s childhood, Yang Lifan’s gaze softened.

"Is that so? Then, please tell me more about his childhood stories," Yang Yafei thought maybe she could persuade Gu Shili by sharing these stories with him.

Yang Lifan was eager to speak, and thus began to talk at length. Listening, Yang Yafei never expected little Gu Shili to be so charming and warm-hearted, the difference between then and now was astonishing!

Furthermore, it was clear he must have experienced a lot of unfavorable events in childhood, to have changed into the person he was now.

Yang Yafei decided to go find Gu Shili in person, she told Yang Lifan that a client wanted clothes, so she went to check it out, and stepped out.

Yang Lifan was in a good mood and didn’t ask further, allowing her to leave.

Yang Yafei went to the Gu Group to find Gu Shili. Seeing her dignified demeanor, the receptionist asked on her behalf, but the secretary directly replied that the president didn’t want to see her.

Yang Yafei was embarrassed and could only wait in the lobby. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Waiting until the afternoon, when Yang Lifan called to ask where she was, she replied that she was on her way back, but felt very anxious; if she couldn’t persuade Gu Shiji to attend the birthday party, she didn’t know what temper Yang Lifan might throw, potentially causing trouble.

As she was about to leave, she finally saw Gu Shili coming out, her eyes lit up, she rushed over at once; Gu Shili was lost in thought, absent-mindedly, today he hadn’t brought anyone with him, so Yang Yafei almost bumped into him.
