CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 21 - A Birthday Party



"Birthday party? For me?"

She Youlin almost spluttered out the food in her mouth after hearing her elder sister and Grandfather's words.

After college ended, she had just stepped inside her house when her maid told her that Old Master Shen which means her Grandfather called and asked her to go to Shen Villa in the evening. She was very surprised to hear this. So they do remember that Shen family also has a daughter named 'Shen Youlin'. A bit of joy surfaced in her heart. She got ready and drove to the Shen Villa even before the given time.

Just after she stepped inside the Shen Villa, she saw Grandfather Shen and Shen Yiling sitting on the couch. Perhaps Shen Yiling was telling something funny to Grandfather Shen as he laughed along with her. Her heart felt sour watching them. She didn't have such relations with any of her family members.

Feeling her presence, the girl on the couch turned around and glanced at her with a bright smile.

Shen Yiling, her elder sister was a very beautiful girl. She has a smooth white and tender oval face. Her eyes were large and round with large eyelashes and her nose was thin and small. All these features made Shen Yiling look very attractive and innocent. All her actions carried were elegant and carried gracefulness just like any other girl from a good family in City H.

Sometimes, Shen Youlin felt bad for feeling jealous of her own elder sister. It was not a good feeling. Her sister was a gentle and pure-hearted girl. She would also call her sometimes to ask about her well-being.

Shen Youlin felt maybe this was the reason everyone loved and cared for Shen Yiling.

"Youlin, you came so early. Well, that's good. Grandfather and I were waiting for you."

She Youlin nodded a little and then greeted her grandfather who hummed and asked the butler to serve the meal.

Did they call her here just to have a meal?

Still confused, Shen Youlin just followed Shen Yiling who was holding her grandfather's hand as they walked towards the dining room.

Her grandfather asked her about her studies as they had their meal. Then suddenly he told her that he was going to organize a large banquet for her birthday this time. Her birthday was after two days. She was surprised that he even remembered her birthday. It was not that she had never celebrated her birthday. In childhood, she had celebrated her birthday twice. The servants would decorate the house. Someone would call her classmates. However, seeing that her parents were not there with her at her birthday party, she was mocked by them. So she stopped celebrating her birthday. No one asked her the reason. Every year, she would receive some money from her parents and grandfather on that day. But none of them have ever called to wish her.

Seeing the surprise on her face, Shen Yiling chuckled.

"What? Can't we celebrate your birthday? We can't spend much time as all of us are busy anywhere. Mom and Dad are overseas as you know busy in their business. Elder Brother also rarely comes to City H. But this time, everyone is coming. Mom called me yesterday saying that she and dad will be here by tomorrow and Elder brother is also returning to City H. So we decided that we will give you an unforgettable birthday party. You are still the youngest daughter of Shen family."

Grandfather Shen hummed in satisfaction at Shen Yiling's words. Overwhelmed, Shen Youlin also nodded dumbly. But still, she thought

'Why didn't Mom called her instead of her elder sister?'

Still, her heart was filled with hope and joy.

He Villa

"They are still not here?"

Grandfather He asked butler Zhang in a loud voice.

"I will disown both of them."

Butler Zhang tried to calm him down fearing he would faint again because of his anger. Just then, someone knocked on the door so butler Zhang firstly went towards the door leaving the fuming Grandfather He.

A servant stood outside the door and told him something.

Butler Zhang swiftly turned around and shouted to Grandfather He.

"Master, They are here."

Grandfather He froze in between his roar and shouts. He cleared his throat for a second and then turned around to look at Butler Zhang.

"Did not I say they still fear me?"

Butler Zhang murmured

'Yes, in my dreams.'

He heard the old man saying.

"Let's go. Hurry up. Time is very precious."

Butler Zhang rolled his eyes behind his back.

'You are just afraid that they will leave without meeting you.'

The dining room was silent. Grandfather He sat on the head seat.

The dinner was yet to be served. His heart was filled with resentment as he looked at his son and grandson who were busy on their phone and didn't even raise their head to look at him.

He pointed his finger towards his son and roared at him.

"You ungrateful bastard, do you even know I was so sick that I had to be admitted in the hospital? You didn't even ask about my well-being. What kind of bastard son I have?"

He Zhuang raised his head. His facial features were similar to He Jian and Grandfather He. Dressed in a black suit, he looked elegant and graceful. He was still handsome even if he was a middle-aged man. It could be seen clearly that he must have been an extremely good-looking man when he was younger. His calm and cold eyes glanced at his father as he said

"Nine out of ten times when you are admitted in the hospital, you are just pretending to be sick. What do you expect from me in such a situation?"

Grandfather He glared at his son.

"You….You.."

But he couldn't find a single word to refute his words. He took deep breaths to calm down his anger. He didn't want to faint again. Giving a last glare to his son who had al, he put a serious expression on his face and said with authority.

"Old Shen is organizing a banquet. You two are going with me to Shen Villa after two days."

This time He Jian raised his head to look at the old man but the old man looked around the room avoiding his eyes.

"I am busy so I won't be able to go."

He stood up from the chair and was about to walk out of the dining room when He Zhuang voice stopped him.

"Jian, come back and sit here."

He Jian halted. He respected his father a lot and had never denied his words. So he walked back and sat on his previous seat.

When butler Zhang came inside with servants to serve the food, He Zhuang calm voice rang in the room.

"We are going."

He Jian didn't say anything and Grandfather He looked at him with a victorious and sly smile. But his smile was soon gone when he saw the boiled vegetables in his plate.

He looked towards the butler questioningly who responded

"Young Master said that the boiled food is good for Master's health."

Grandfather He face looked like he was about to cry.

The rest of the dinner Grandfather He spent cursing his son and grandson. As soon as they finished their meal, he asked the butler to throw them out of He Villa.
