"Xiuying, can we come out and meet?"

"Hey, so-young?"

No matter how the person on the phone called, Xiuying just didn't want to make any response.

The person who called her was Zheng Jinghao, the heir of the Zheng family whose father wanted to marry her.

The Cui Zheng family is a world friend, and the adults of the two families have known each other for a long time before Xiuying and her sister Xiuzhen were born, and Zheng Jinghao was three years old at that time, Xiuying's father also jokingly told Zheng Jinghao's father that if he gave birth to a daughter in the future, maybe the Cui family and the Zheng family could also get married.

A few years later, Xiuying's sister Xiuzhen was born, and a few years later, Xiuying was also born, although the Cui family had two daughters, Zheng Jinghao's father obviously didn't take the original joke to heart.

It's just that I didn't expect that more than 20 years later, a joke that Xiuying's father once said would become a reality, and the reason was that he still wanted to exchange his daughter's lifelong happiness for funds to save the already precarious Daewoo Group.

Xiuying doesn't have any love for Jung Kyung-ho, at most she was a playmate when she was a child, and she just met a few times when she grew up, so she couldn't talk about how close she was.

However, Jung Kyung-ho has feelings for so-young in this regard, he likes so-young, and has invited so-young many times but has been rejected.

Thinking of this, Xiuying really didn't want to say anything to Jung Kyung-ho.

She doesn't like Jung Kyung-ho and insists on tying her to someone she doesn't like for the rest of her life, and so-young will only despair of life and will never feel any happiness.

Even if Zheng Jinghao is good to her, it is useless, and the love that has no feelings is like a twisted melon after all, and it will never be sweet.

But Zheng Jinghao didn't give up, and didn't get a response after calling Xiuying for a long time, ordinary people had already hung up the phone, but he still didn't hang up the phone, and he was still calling Xiuying's name.

"Xiuying, listen to me, my uncle really wants you to marry me, so that my family can financially help my uncle's company, but I don't want you to be wronged in any way, so even if you keep refusing me and don't want to see me, I won't care. In addition, I am already trying to find a way to help my uncle find financial assistance, and if it goes well, my uncle's company will gradually improve, and I will be able to continue running my business even without the help of my family. ”

"But I still hope you can come out and meet with me, at least let's talk, okay?"

While one side was talking bitterly, the other side was listening indifferently, and the two ends of the phone seemed to be two different worlds.

After a long time, Xiuying hung up the phone and turned off the phone, and said coldly: "It's better to say than to sing." ”

It's not that she doesn't know what Zheng Jinghao thinks, it's just that she doesn't feel it, she doesn't feel it, she can't be with him if she doesn't like Zheng Jinghao, even if Zheng Jinghao just told her that even if she doesn't marry him, he will help her father's company.

But these words seemed so untrue in Xiuying's eyes.

If she doesn't marry Zheng Jinghao, will Zheng Jinghao really help her father? Will there really be such a good thing in the world? In the end, Zheng Jinghao still wants to take this opportunity to get close to herself, or to get rid of her father first, and then slowly approach her.

Xiuying knows that if she is determined not to marry, Jung Kyung-ho will definitely not provide any help to the Choi family.

But if she agrees, with the economic strength of the Zheng family, although it will not be able to bring Daewoo Group back to the glorious era that can be compared with Samsung many years ago, it can also bring Daewoo Group back to life.

It's just that the price of all this is that her happiness needs to be sacrificed to achieve, which also includes that she wants to quit girlhood and no longer appear in front of everyone as a girlhood, which is what Xiuying cares about the most.

Asking her to leave her sisters and marry someone she didn't like, she couldn't do it.

Even if she refused, hundreds of people would lose their jobs and her conscience would be severely damaged, she would not be able to do this.

She is not a saint, she does not have such a loving heart, and it is a matter of her lifelong happiness, she will not agree to anything.

…………

Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and if so-young didn't come back, her birthday this year would have passed, and watching the hour hand move little by little, Taeyeon couldn't help but sigh deeply.

It seems that Mengxin's hard work to fold the stars and the cake she prepared for so long have been in vain, and the birthday star has not returned, who will these things be given to?

I can only wait for the next day to give these gifts to Xiuying, and at the same time, I have to hide from Mengxin's little girl, I can't let her know that Xiuying didn't come back all night, so her thoughts are in vain.

With another sigh, Taeyeon shook her head helplessly, ready to put the cake in the refrigerator, put away Xu Mengxin's stacked stars, and give it to Xiuying the next day.

However, as soon as Taeyeon was about to act, the sound of a key opening the door came from the door.

At this time, there is no one else but so-young, and the sisters' busy day's announcements have already returned, only so-young has not returned for a long time, and Taeyeon walks to the door after hearing the sound of the door opening.

The person who came back was really so-young, and Taeyeon couldn't help but be a little unhappy when she saw her.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you all night. ”

"Didn't go anywhere, was in a bit of a bad mood, just stayed outside for a while. Su-young's face didn't look very good, she looked very haggard, and she also looked weak when answering Taeyeon's question.

But Taeyeon didn't notice so-young's abnormality, and she was a little angry when she said this.

Xu Mengxin has been preparing for Xiuying's birthday for almost a month, and finally stacked the stars on her birthday, and also prepared a cake for Xiuying.

But in the end, the little girl prepared these gifts in vain, and in the end, she couldn't give them to Xiuying herself.

Taeyeon felt injustice for Xu Mengxin, and Xiuying's attitude obviously made her a little unbearable, so she grabbed Xiuying, who was just about to go back to the room, and said, "It's okay if you come back so late, today is your birthday, so let's go and see your gift first." ”

Those were prepared by Seo Mengxin with her heart, Taeyeon didn't want her mind to be in vain, even if it was almost twelve o'clock now, Taeyeon also wanted Xiuying to go and see the gift prepared by Seo Mengxin.

So at that moment, she pulled Xiuying to the restaurant.

There was nothing else on the table, just a cake with a candle with the word 21 on it, and two jars filled with stars.

Taeyeon wants to tell Su-young that these are all given to her by Seo Mong-sin and have been prepared for a long time.

But before she could speak, Xiuying said impatiently: "Isn't it childish? It's just a birthday, and now it's almost over, and give me a cake? Won't you get fat after eating? And this star, when I am a child, what age am I? Why give me this?"

Taeyeon's face turned a little ugly on the spot.

"Xiuying. ”

"What?"

"I can understand you just said that you are in a bad mood, but don't bring your bad mood home, the people at home are waiting for you to come back and don't let you be angry, you are angry outside and run home to be angry with me, what do you want to do?"

Those were all prepared by Xu Mengxin after working hard for a long time, and the little girl couldn't bear the sleepiness and was coaxed to sleep by her, and she couldn't give them to Xiuying herself, which obviously made her regretful.

But what makes Taeyeon angry is that so-young's attitude can be so infuriating, disgusted with the cake and stars prepared by Seo Mong-sin.

And so-young didn't seem to expect Taeyeon to suddenly get angry with her, and she was in a bad mood because of her troubles, but after being criticized by Taeyeon like this, so-young's temper also came up, and she turned cold and said to Taeyeon, "What do I want to do? I'm just not in a bad mood, what's wrong with it? I don't want to celebrate this birthday, okay? cake? stars? I'm not rare." ”

"You take your words back to me!" Taeyeon got angry.

"What can you do if I don't take it back?" said Xiuying, who swept the cake and jar to the ground.

The cake was shattered on the spot, and the two jars filled with stars were also shattered, and the stars scattered all over the ground and landed at their feet.

At this moment, Taeyeon was stunned, Xu Mengxin had prepared a gift for so long, so that Xiuying just swept it away and broke it all.

"Xiuying...... Ernie ......" Suddenly, that unbelievable and aggrieved voice sounded behind the two of them, and when Taeyeon and so-young looked over at the same time, they only saw Seo Mengxin biting her lip tightly, her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help herself from crying.

Taeyeon never expected Xu Mengxin to wake up at this time, and also saw the scene where Xiuying broke the cake and stars she prepared, and just swallowed all the words that she wanted to get angry at Xiuying, and the only thing left was to worry that Xu Mengxin would be very sad.

Xiuying also didn't expect that the scene of her quarrel with Taeyeon would be seen by Xu Mengxin, and just wanted to open her mouth to explain to Xu Mengxin that she was not arguing with Taeyeon, but her voice was a little heavier, and she just knocked the cake on the ground by mistake.

But before she could speak, Xu Mengxin suddenly turned around and ran back upstairs, slamming the door shut, so that Xiuying's words before she could open her mouth to explain were all stuck in her throat.

"It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose!" Taeyeon pushed away so-young, who was in front of her, and ran upstairs after her, leaving only a word for so-young.

And it was this sentence that made Xiuying stunned on the spot.

"This cake, as well as these stars, were all prepared by Mengxin for almost a month, and I just wanted to give it to you on your birthday today. Now you can do it yourself. ”

Xiuying didn't expect that this cake and the stars all over the ground would be prepared for her by Xu Mengxin herself, and then turned her head to look at the cake that had been swept to the ground and broken, but saw a picture that made her regret it.

I saw that on the cake, there were a few crooked but very neat red fonts written on it.

Happy Birthday, Suyoungoni......

For a while, Xiuying was stunned, and unspeakable regret floated in her heart.

Many of the colorful stars in that place have been stepped on by her, and at this moment, in her eyes, what she stepped on was Xu Mengxin's innocent heart.
