Chapter 132: Chapter 133:

Chu Xijin took out the little videos shot by friends to show her.

“Sister Mu Ran, happy birthday, be happy~”

The four children were a soft little bundle, each enthusiastically congratulating Mu Ran on her birthday.

Mu Ran looked at the children, her mood improved a lot, “Have they all gone to sleep?”

“They have. It’s already eleven o’clock.”

Chu Xijin remembered his sister telling him about arguing with Aunt Hei’s hater, having to press the words on the screen repeatedly to let the learning device read them out loud—such a hassle, so exhausting. She vowed to study well in the future so that when she’s insulted, she understands what the insults mean.

“Alright, then please relay my thanks for their blessings and tell them I’ll buy them gifts next time we meet.”

“Okay!”

“You’re included too.” Mu Ran affectionately pinched his cheek, “Wearing Wendy’s clothes, feeling embarrassed at all?”

“A little.”

“A little, huh, then maybe you should try modern attire?”

“No!!”

Chu Xijin quickly vetoed that.

Today’s outfit didn’t reveal anything!

“Alright.” Mu Ran chuckled lightly, not forcing him. After taking a few photos, she asked if he wanted to go to sleep.

He still had school tomorrow.

“I want to stay with you till midnight before heading back.” Chu Xijin had timed his arrival to prevent his aunt from sending him away.

Feng Qikuo also chimed in, “Xiao Ran, let Xiao Jin stay, there’s cake later too.”

“Alright.”

Before eating the cake, Mu Ran received a gift from Xiao Yu’an.

A painting, and a letter.

The painting depicted her in antique attire in Hengdian, Mu Ran thought it looked quite nice, surprising her that Xiao Yu’an’s drawing skills were good, capturing her spirit well.

Bristling with arrogance. At a glance, not to be trifled with, like a female bandit.

But at the moment Mu Ran opened the letter, she almost couldn’t keep her facial expression intact!

That handwriting.

Too much like her sister’s!!!

As if she had come to her side.

Mu Ran had no study of calligraphy, including Xiao Jin’s praised handwriting, she didn’t understand its beauty, just knew it was nice-looking.

But her sister’s handwriting was the only script she was familiar with.

Xiao Yu’an and her sister’s handwriting were very similar. Mu Ran took the letter outside the police station, squatting under a street lamp to read.

Mu Dixin frowned, “It’s just a letter, can’t you show it publicly.”

Feng Qikuo, “Sending letters is quite romantic. You never sent me one.”

Mu Dixin, “…”

“Even during school days, no?”

“No, instead I wrote to you.”

“You wrote me a breakup letter, right?”

Feng Qikuo, “…”

“Yes.”

Mu Dixin, “Forget it!!”

Feng Qikuo laughed, back then everyone said they were not a good match, Mu Dixin was mischievous as a child, often teasing her now and then.

That day she was heartbroken, so she wrote him a breakup letter.

Luckily, he cared about their love, even though he only saw the letter late at night, he ran out from home to apologize.

“Those are memories.”

“Those are bad memories.” Mu Dixin saw Xiao Jin listening with keen interest and asked humorously, “Can you understand what we’re saying?”

“Sort of.” Chu Xijin, having been abroad, constantly studied how to break up couples, now hearing the breakup word, his sharp nerves were instantly triggered, “Auntie, why did you consider breaking up?”

“Various reasons, I was quite upset during the breakup, doubting, jealous, angry, but as soon as he coaxed me, I got better. When I was young, breaking up with him was simply to test how much he cared about me.”

“Oh.” Chu Xijin was disappointed.

Auntie is not someone who tests if others care about her.

She only gets troubled by others entangling with her.

But his uncle is quite busy, no time to bother his aunt, how annoying!!

Almost midnight, Mu Ran returned, her eyes visibly red.

Clearly cried.

Chu Xijin, “!!!”

Oh no, oh no, oh no.

Auntie likes Jiujiu more.

Not possible, he must act quickly, or they’ll be married soon!

“Auntie, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, let’s cut the cake.”

As she made her wish, everyone turned off the conference room lights, and amidst the birthday song, Mu Ran earnestly wished upon the cake.

If there truly is a God above.

Please bless Sister Shu He with a good life.

Mu Ran opened her eyes and blew out the candles; right then, Xiao Jin’s smile was in front of her, and in that instant, she seemed to transcend time and space, seeing gentle and graceful Sister Shu He in front of her telling her.

“Don’t worry about me.”

Mu Ran almost teared up again.

Sister Shu He was the one who spent the most birthdays with her.

This year, she was not there.

“Xiao Jin, let me cut a piece of cake for you first, after you finish, head home soon.”

“Okay.” Chu Xijin ate the sweet cake, noticing how tender and warm his aunt’s gaze was.

Maybe she really likes Wendy.

Xiao Jin was sent back by the driver, Mu Dixin also was about to send Feng Qikuo back, Feng Qikuo frowned, “In my field, it’s rare to assist Xiao Ran, stop holding me back!!”

Mu Ran waved a hand, “Sis-in-law, you head back first. You stay here, it keeps my brother here, you know perfectly well, just looking at him annoys me!”

Mu Dixin felt like hitting someone.

What kind of sister is this?

Luckily, her persuasion worked, Feng Qikuo, seeing her disgust for Mu Dixin, really left with him but reminded several times, “If you need my help, call me, okay?”

“Got it.”

Mu Ran didn’t seek her help because of this.

Her sister-in-law was too dedicated career-wise, tirelessly working day and night; if she weren’t pregnant, Mu Ran might dare to seek her help.

But pregnant, Mu Ran wouldn’t dare even if given ten guts.

The police station returned to peace.

But only those constantly surfing the internet knew what transpired this night.

How many netizens Mu Ran’s studio reported.

The crucial bit was that this Weibo was shared by officials, sparking off a large-scale online bullying clampdown.

When netizens woke up the following day.

They felt like the world had changed.

Weibo’s trending list was peaceful, but major marketing accounts seemed hijacked by hackers, issuing unified apologies.

[Holy smokes, what happened?]

[I just slept, that’s all?]

[Why isn’t Weibo’s trending list reacting?]

…

Everyone was curious about the situation, with Weibo seemingly down, some even switched platforms to find out the cause.

Finally, a blogger who hadn’t blackened Mu Ran summarized the night’s events for netizens, explaining what this world had come to.

Of course, this was part of the PR strategy.

Otherwise, how could a netizen be so savvy, aware of the full context at the commencement of actions?

But this didn’t dampen everyone’s gossiping spirit.

All rushed to click the links to see the content.

Just when they clicked to enter, they were first stunned by the dense array of names.
