Chapter 358 - 358: A Bestie Get-together

He Ming planned his mother’s birthday banquet meticulously. He strove for perfection to please the old lady.

He hadn’t seen Xiaomeng for the past two days.

Ye Xiaomeng wasn’t feeling relaxed either. She had been nervous since He Ming’s mother phoned her personally and invited her over for dinner this weekend.

He Ming said that it was his mother’s birthday this weekend and she was very enthusiastic this time and invited her friends and family to celebrate with her. He Ming didn’t dare to tell Xiaomeng that the main reason his mother was hosting a birthday bananet was because of her.

He didn’t say anything because he was afraid that it would give her unnecessary pressure.

Soon, it was Saturday. The sun was shining brightly and there was a soft breeze. It was a good day to go shopping.

However, Ye Xiaomeng still slept until 11 0’clock. She washed up quickly as soon as she got up and ate two slices of bread to pad her stomach. She then called Shu Pan to ask if she was ready to go out.

Shu Pan had sent Joy back to Lotus Town yesterday, so she was free today for some shopping, eating, and drinking.

Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng wandered aimlessly in the largest shopping mall in Bin City.

“Girl, what do you think I should get He Ming’s mother for her birthday?” Ye Xiaomeng asked in desperation. She had no idea at all.

She had the same problem when it was He Ming’s birthday.

“The best birthday present for her is you packaging yourself as her daughter-in-law.” Shu Pan teased. It was indeed not easy to buy gifts for elders.

“Stop it. I’m serious.” Ye Xiaomeng slapped Shu Pan’s arm.

The gift had to be just right. After all, it would be embarrassing to show up with a petty gift in front of so many relatives and friends.

“Why don’t you get her gold jewelry? Gold retains its value.” Shu Pan suggested. Gold jewelry was probably sincere enough as a birthday gift.

“That works.” Ye Xiaomeng felt that it was a good idea. No one disliked gold, right?

Hence, the decision was made happily despite Xiaomeng’s heartache when she thought about the money she would have to fork out.

Trading pearls for wisdom. That was Xiaomeng’s mentality now.

Inside a branded jewelry store, Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng looked at rings, bracelets, bangles, and so on.

In the end, they decided on a bracelet.

It was a gold bracelet carved with elegant patterns, which would look good on any elderly or middle-aged woman.

After the bracelet was gift wrapped, the two of them were hungry and quickly walked to a hotpot restaurant.

They had already made reservations at the hotpot restaurant. It was a popular restaurant and tables were hard to come by.

“I ordered a mixed soup base. You order the ingredients.” Shu Pan handed the menu to Xiaomeng.

“Okay. Duck intestines, tripe, wagyu beef, enoki mushrooms…” Ye Xiaomeng rattled off more than ten dishes in one go without even catching her breath. They were all hotpot essentials.

It was obvious that she was an experienced foodie.

The two of them had known each other for more than ten years. They were like family to each other.

Xiaomeng was a very important friend in Shu Pan’s life.

When they were students, they often hung out at all kinds of restaurants. Shu Pan’s life was hard in the past few years, so she rarely went out.

But things were different now. They could finally eat and drink together again. After Xiaomeng ordered the dishes, she sat down opposite Shu Pan, picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea and then stared at Shu Pan.

She stared at Shu Pan for a long time before she said, “Girl, you really scared me this time. You must be more careful in the future.”

Sometimes, it was a real blessing to be able to sit and eat together.

“I’m sorry for making you worry.” Shu Pan said apologetically. She really made everyone worry.

“But why do I feel like you are a little different after the incident?” Ye Xiaomeng stared at Shu Pan again.

“How am I different?” Shu Pan felt that she was the same and Ye Xiaomeng was making a fuss over nothing..
