C229 Provocation

"Happy birthday —"

After the cheers, a staff of the hotel came up and helped Chen Jiarou cut open the gigantic nine-layer cake, then distributed it to everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, several dining carriages were pushed in and placed on both sides of the banquet hall. The lids on the dining carriages were opened one by one to reveal cooked lobsters, abalone, steaming roast meat, steak, frozen French red wine, and carefully made cocktails all over the dining carriages …

Seeing that, Lu Shan could not help but click his tongue in secret. This was the life of a rich person!

He had made a bit of money these days. Compared to the past few days, when he was only able to get his fill in a month and was even on the verge of becoming homeless, he almost thought that he was a rich man! But now he realized … Even if all the money in his possession was added together, it wouldn't be enough for a banquet like this! So... He was still a poor man, and that had never changed.

The feast was naturally in the form of a buffet, with all sorts of dishes placed there. You could scoop up your favorite food and sit down to enjoy it. You can also carry a plate wherever you want to eat...

However, after the food was served, there would be a birthday present before the banquet officially began.

Those who came to the party were all from the same circle. Naturally, they would participate in similar events frequently, so everyone was very well-informed.

Seeing that the food had been served, none of them went to get their food from the plate. Instead, they walked in front of Chen Jiarou one by one, saying "Happy Birthday" before giving their own gifts.

Lu Shan had already started walking towards the direction of the dining car. Because Chen Jiarou called him at noon to ask for his help when he had something to do, after he finished busying himself with the restaurant's customers, he left early before he even had time to cook and eat with Cui Wenwen.

He had been starving for the whole day. Now that he saw the banquet hall filled with all kinds of delicacies, he felt even hungrier.

But he wasn't stupid. He was prepared to have a good feast, but when he saw that no one else wanted to go and get his food, he knew that if he continued to eat without a care in the world, then he would lose everything!

And he suddenly realized that there was a very serious problem... He seemed to have forgotten to prepare a birthday present for Chen Jiarou!

Come to think of it, the song "Happy Birthday" that he played for Chen Jiarou today could also be considered to be a gift that was full of sincerity, but after all, it was just an empty song. Now that everyone was giving wrapped and exquisite birthday presents to Chen Jiarou, if he was the only one not to actually take out a present, wouldn't that be too rude?

Originally, Lu Shan had also thought of buying a gift for Chen Jiarou. Furthermore, he had even prepared to pay a large sum of blood and take out most of his savings to buy a gift for Chen Jiarou.

After all, when Chen Jiarou brought him shopping to buy those decent clothes, she had spent quite a bit of money. At that time, she had even said that she wanted to save some money for Lu Shan so that she could buy her a birthday present.

Even if Lu Shan didn't have any special feelings towards Chen Jiarou, a man and a woman, it would be hard for him to gift Chen Jiarou something that was too trashy!

It was just that after Lu Shan thought about it for a few days, he still wasn't able to think of what kind of present he should give Chen Jiarou.

Originally, he wanted to give Chen Jiarou a watch, and on that day, he went to the biggest shop in the city to take a look … He found out that the style of the watch was truly plentiful, and the difference in price was shocking.

The cheap ones cost only a few dozen dollars, the expensive ones... There were hundreds of thousands, a difference of ten thousand times. From this, it could be seen how great the difference in standard of living was between humans.

In the past few days, Lu Shan had performed his magic a few times in the Yun Zhong Hotel's cafeteria, earning him 3000 yuan every day as an appearance fee. As a result, his savings was already more than 20,000 yuan!

This time, he was prepared to take out around fifteen thousand yuan to buy a present for Chen Jiarou. He had also seen quite a few watches at this price, but he had not decided which one he wanted to buy.

When he wanted to see Chen Jiarou's usual attire again, so that he could choose one for her based on her style … However, he discovered that the person she was wearing was the same person he had seen on the billboard of the watchmaker's shop … What Swiss watch? It seems to be worth one million and eight hundred thousand pieces... Do not seal the top, and only accept a private order.

Lu Shan had lost his temper at that time, and was lucky that he did not buy Chen Jiarou a watch as a gift.

He was wearing a watch worth millions, so if he went to buy a watch worth more than 10,000 yuan as a gift, then... Aren't you trying to make people despise you?

He definitely couldn't buy a watch, so he pondered about whether he should change it to a piece of jewelry or something …

Furthermore, he realized that Chen Jiarou normally did not wear any accessories. The jewelry she bought was slightly inferior, or perhaps not that eye-catching?

But, what kind of jewelry would he like to buy? This Lu Shan really didn't have any experience at all … Even though he had rotated his Jewelry Store several times a day, he still wasn't able to make up his mind. He had originally wanted to go to the birthday banquet today before deciding on what to buy for Chen Jiarou in the afternoon … In the end, Chen Jiarou suddenly called him and called him over. After being tormented for an entire afternoon, she had forgotten about the gift. What do we do now?

Just as Lu Shan was scratching his head, Pang Yibo, who had just been humiliated and ignored by everyone, had already split the crowd and walked in front of Chen Jiarou with large strides.

"Jia Rou …" "This is a birthday present I've prepared meticulously for you. I hope you like it …"

With that, Pang Yibo took out a small and exquisite jewelry box from his pocket, and handed it over to Chen Jiarou with a smile.

"This …"

Seeing that, Chen Jiarou could not help but feel troubled. She was getting more and more annoyed by this Pang Yibo, and from the looks of it, the gift he gave her was most likely not cheap either. If she accepted his gift, then I m afraid that she will become even more entangled with her later.

But this was her own birthday party after all, and she had already accepted other people's gifts. It would be too disrespectful if she just didn't take Pang Yibo in, no matter how much she hated Pang Yibo, she wouldn't do such a thing.

After hesitating for a bit, in the end, Chen Jiarou still received the jewelry box from Pang Yibo, and politely said "Thank you".

"Let's open it and take a look …"

Pang Yibo hugged his shoulders with a face full of arrogance, and said: "This piece of jewelry is the most beautiful piece of jewelry I can find in the Yangchuan … It's one of the most precious treasures of Jin Mansheng's Jewelry Store. I feel like only this treasure can match up to little sister Jia Rou's innate beauty, so … I bought it specially today, hoping that little sister Jia Rou would be happy! "

Finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Lu Shan, his eyes filled with provocation!
