Ye Chen came out of the kitchen and just sat in the living room for a while when the doorbell rang.
He saw from the monitor that the person who rang the doorbell was a delivery man, so he walked out of the room.
Outside the yard, a middle-aged deliveryman asked: "Is this Ms. Xiao's house?"
Ye Chen nodded: "Yes."
The other party handed him a cube packaging box with a side length of about fifty centimeters and said, "This is the cake ordered by Ms. Xiao. Please sign for it."
Ye Chen took the cake and was about to sign the order when the other party reminded him: "You'd better open it and take a look. If there's any problem, I'll take it directly back to the cake shop. Don't go back and sign for it and then complain if there is any problem. Then we will
Riders are also responsible."
Ye Chen didn't think much, so he untied the red ribbon on the cake packaging box, carefully opened the top cover, and a beautiful two-layer cake jumped into view.
This cake doesn't look as luxurious and exquisite as Gu Qiuyi's custom-made five-layer cake, and it doesn't have lifelike shock-absorbing fondant dolls. Instead, it just looks like a regular cake. However, the line of words written in chocolate sauce on the cake makes it...
Ye Chen felt a warm current in his heart.
The content of that line is: "Happy birthday to my dear Mr. Ye."
The signature is: "Love your wife, Chu Ran."
Seeing these words, Ye Chen smiled knowingly and said to the rider: "There is no problem with the cake, I will sign for it directly."
After that, he signed the list and handed it back to the rider.
The rider collected the bill and left, and Ye Chen repackaged the cake and carried it back to the house.
This scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Xiao who was hanging clothes on the terrace of the villa opposite.
Seeing Ye Chen collecting a cake and walking back to the villa, she couldn't help but curiously returned to the room and asked Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong who were lying on the bed: "Chang Qian, Hailong, do you know what day it is today?"
Xiao Changqian gave a bitter smile: "Mom, from before the Chinese New Year to now, I eat, drink, poop, and sleep in bed. I don't know what day it is on the solar calendar, what day it is on the lunar calendar, or what day of the week it is."
Xiao Hailong echoed: "Grandma, I don't remember the days either."
Old Mrs. Xiao muttered: "Today is the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head, but I can't remember whose birthday is today. That unfilial son Xiao Changkun seems to have been born in winter, and that dead girl Xiao Churan seems to have been born in summer..."
Xiao Hailong thought of something and said, "February 2, dragon raises his head... Today seems to be the birthday of that bastard Ye Chen!"
Mrs. Xiao frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Xiao Hailong nodded repeatedly: "One time, just after the first lunar month, I ran to the barber shop to get a haircut. I happened to see Ye Chen and Xiao Churan eating in a small restaurant next to the barber shop. There was also a
I observed the small cake and found that it was Ye Chen who blew out the candles, so it must have been Xiao Churan celebrating Ye Chen’s birthday. Grandma, you don’t know, the cake was so shabby at that time, it wasn’t even as big as a fucking vegetable plate.”
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out today is the birthday of Ye Chen, the white-eyed wolf! I didn't expect that he would die so soon!"
Xiao Hailong asked in confusion: "Grandma, what's wrong? Why do you say that?"
Old Mrs. Xiao curled her lips and said: "Before the Chinese New Year, how many people came to Marven's house and lined up to give him gifts. You see, it's just the first month of the year, and no one came to congratulate him on his birthday. This proves that he is not good now.
Those who are rich and powerful don’t take him seriously anymore!”
Xiao Hailong asked subconsciously: "Grandma, can you tell from this alone that Ye Chen is in trouble?"
Mrs. Xiao said seriously: "Hai Long, there is an idiom that one leaf knows autumn. As long as you see a leaf falling, it means autumn is here. Autumn is here, can winter be far behind?"
As she said that, she analyzed with an inscrutable expression: "Think about it, if Ye Chen is really good now, then his door must be surrounded by a bunch of rich people now. There is an idiom called "Everywhere is crowded"
, describes how when a person is popular, the doorstep of his home is busier than the vegetable market!"
"But you see, it's Ye Chen's birthday today. For those who want to curry favor with him, such a big event is much more important than the New Year. So far, their family has not seen a single person come to the door. On the contrary, it has set off other people.
There is an idiom called "The only thing left is a lack of food!"
"Just from this signal, I can clearly tell that Ye Chen must be messing up now, or even worse, he is almost finished!
