Chapter 437: Reprimand
“That’s right. Quickly sit down, Yunzhi. Maybe it was fated for you to take the wrong one,” Wang Yunmei said.
Wang Yunzhi nodded and sat down.
Since it was Jian Ai’s fifteenth birthday today, there also were fifteen candles on the cake. Yao Feng lit them one by one with a lighter and then stood up to turn off the lights, leaving only the three dim lights in the dining room.
“Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you…”
Jian Ai had a crown on her head, and everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. Under the candlelight, everyone’s expressions were so sincere that Jian Ai was touched.
This was her first birthday after she was reborn.
Putting her hands together, Jian Ai slowly closed her eyes and sincerely made a birthday wish.
“May all those who love me and those I love be healthy. May disasters be avoided. May all the despicable people retreat. May my family be safe and happy. May everything go smoothly for the corporation.”
…
On the way home, Jiang Chunfen drove while Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng sat in the backseat.
Wang Zichen had a bitter expression on his face as he looked out of the window. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
In the end, he couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chunfen in the rearview mirror and say in frustration, “Mom, why did you buy such an expensive gift for Jian Ai?”
Jiang Chunfen gave Jian Ai a necklace. It was not made from old-fashioned gold, but more expensive platinum. The necklace was slender and beautiful. Just a necklace was not worth much. There was a rather heavy and expensive pendant.
Jian Ai was born in the year of the rabbit. The pendant was a three-dimensional platinum rabbit.
The entire necklace cost almost five thousand yuan.
In Wang Zichen’s eyes, Jian Ai was not worthy of such an expensive gift from his mother. It was her honor that the three of them could celebrate her birthday with her.
Wang Yunzhong had deeply influenced Wang Zichen. Jiang Chunfen knew very well that he looked down on Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi’s family.
She had to change her son’s incorrect way of understanding. Not for anything else, but because she did not want her son’s values to be distorted.
“Jian Ai is your sister. It’s her birthday. Is there a problem with Mom giving her a gift?” Jiang Chunfen’s tone turned cold.
Wang Zichen didn’t seem to have heard Jiang Chunfen’s anger. He said, “She’s not worth a few thousand yuan!”
Jiang Chunfen immediately felt angry.
“Wang Zichen, watch your words. Who says that about your sister?” Jiang Chunfen glared at Wang Zichen in the rearview mirror and said, “No matter who it is, you can’t judge a person with money.”
With Wang Yunzhong around, even if Jiang Chunfen felt the unfair treatment towards Wang Yunmei’s family, she couldn’t say anything too harsh.
Now that she called Wang Zichen’s full name, Wang Zichen was shocked. Only then did he realize that his mother was angry.
Wang Zichen’s aura weakened by seventy percent. He muttered in a low voice, “I… I just think the gift is too expensive.”
Jiang Chunfen exhaled and turned to look at Wang Zimeng. “Zimeng, do you think the same as your brother?”
As if she didn’t expect the topic to suddenly change to her, Wang Zimeng couldn’t help but be stunned. Then she shook her head gently. “Sister Jian Ai is very outstanding. Moreover, even if Mom and Dad are now divorced, Aunt still invited Mom to Sister Jian Ai’s birthday party. This is very rare.”
Jiang Chunfen revealed a satisfied look in her eyes. She immediately looked at Wang Zichen and said, “Look at your sister. She knows better than you. Jian Ai is so outstanding. You should use her as an example.”
Wang Zichen lowered his head and pursed his lips indifferently. He glanced at Wang Zimeng and muttered, “Bootlicker!”
