Chapter 606: Birthday
In less than a minute, Jiang Li hung up the phone.
Jiang Li could hear the exhaustion in Fu Jiuxiao’s voice, so she did not want Fu Jiuxiao to think about how to explain this to her. He needed to recover his energy so that he would have the energy to deal with the upcoming social events.
On the other hand, Fu Jiuxiao thought that it was too late to disturb Jiang Li’s rest. If there was anything, she could talk about it tomorrow.
Thus, the next day, Jiang Li took the suit she designed, grabbed a few clothes, and took the earliest flight to Jing City.
As soon as Jiang Li got off the plane, Dapeng was already waiting at the airport. Jiang Li was a little disappointed that she did not see Fu Jiuxiao.
Dapeng explained that Fu Jiuxiao was busy with a meeting and did not have time to pick up Jiang Li. Thus, he asked Dapeng to pick up Jiang Li to go to the hotel to rest.
Jiang Li had already sent a message to Fu Jiuxiao before she left that day, saying that she would fly to Jing City, but Fu Jiuxiao only replied with an ‘okay’.
Although she knew that Fu Jiuxiao was very busy, his perfunctory words still made Jiang Li feel a little uncomfortable.
It was probably because she was used to sticking to Fu Jiuxiao. At the moment, since she was suddenly left out, Jiang Li felt a great sense of loss.
Jiang Li sneezed as soon as she got off the plane. Jing City was in the north, and it was already cold in October.
Jiang Li came out in a hurry this time. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and the clothes she brought over were all short-sleeved. Dapeng noticed that, so he took off her suit jacket and put it on Jiang Li.
Jiang Li thanked Dapeng and fell into silence.
Jiang Li felt wronged. She hugged the bag in her hand, which contained the suit that she had designed for Fu Jiuxiao.
The next day was Fu Jiuxiao’s birthday, and she had specifically asked Madam Wu about Fu Jiuxiao’s birthday and what were the taboos.
In the end, Madam Wu directly sighed, because Fu Jiuxiao’s birth meant that it was Fu Jiuxiao’s mother’s death. Fu Jiuxiao had always blamed himself for his mother’s death.
He thought that his birth had caused his mother’s death, so he rarely celebrated his birthday.
There were a few rare occasions when Old Master Fu celebrated for Fu Jiuxiao, but the Eldest Master and Second Master of the Fu family did not like this younger brother very much. Therefore, they never came to celebrate Fu Jiuxiao’s birthday. Fu Jiuxiao gradually understood why his two brothers were so against him.
It was because he had killed their mother, who was also his mother, even though he did not remember her as a mother.
Later on, Fu Jiuxiao stopped celebrating his birthday, but Madam Wu would still make Fu Jiuxiao noodles symbolically. Fu Jiuxiao would take a few bites when he had time, but most of the time, he was too busy to eat.
On the day that Fu Jiuxiao came of age, Old Master Fu wanted to give Fu Jiuxiao a coming of age ceremony, but Fu Jiuxiao rejected him.
It could be seen that the birthday itself was taboo for Fu Jiuxiao.
However, Jiang Li did not think so. This was Fu Jiuxiao’s birthday, and it meant a lot to everyone. It was the same for Fu Jiuxiao.
It was even more so for her. She was glad that Fu Jiuxiao was born in this world on this day. She was very grateful for Fu Jiuxiao’s appearance, so she had to give Fu Jiuxiao an unforgettable birthday.
Then, she had to give Fu Jiuxiao a birthday every year so that Fu Jiuxiao could forget the pain in the past and be grateful that her mother gave birth to her, instead of taking all the blame on himself.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Li was both expectant and nervous about how Fu Jiuxiao would look when he saw her present.
In the end, Jiang Li arrived at the hotel and waited until nighttime, but Fu Jiuxiao did not show up!
