Chapter 4: Birthday present for stepmother

<!--Chapter content begins-->At night, the lights are on.
The Qiao’s villa was brightly lit inside and out, and people coming and going entered the villa with their gifts in their hands.
Yu Tingyun's birthday banquet invited various officials and dignitaries, and the scene was grand.
At this time, Qiao Mu was on the balcony of his room, watching the people downstairs boredly.
For such scenes, she always showed up when it was time to appear, but she consciously did not regard herself as the eldest lady of the Qiao family, and tried her best to give the focus to Qiao Ya.
At this time, the servant knocked on the door, "Second Miss, all the guests are here, and Mr. tells you to go downstairs."
Qiao Mu responded and tidied up her clothes. At this time, only her father remembered her.
Qiao Mu came to the banquet hall and saw Qiao Jiannan and Yu Tingyun at a glance. The two were surrounded by guests arm in arm, looking harmonious and loving.
"Mu Mu is here." Qiao Jiannan looked at Qiao Mu with a slight accusation, "You kid, you don't like to see people since you were a child, and hide out whenever there are big scenes. Today is your Aunt Yun's birthday, so it's not at all accurate."
"Dad, I am here!" Qiao Mu smiled and looked at Yu Tingyun, "Aunt Yun, I wish you a happy birthday."
Yu Tingyun showed grace in her gestures, she smiled, "Jiannan, Mu Mu doesn't like this kind of occasion, don't force her."
Yu Tingyun set his sights on Qiao Mu's face. Qiao Mu smiled very purely, with a natural and pure appearance, a white knee-length dress, lacking the luxury of the evening dress, but adding a bit of cleanliness and purity.
This kind of arbor, no one would think it was a naive little girl, after all, she was only 18 years old.
But the simpler the tree, the more dazzling Yu Tingyun felt.
Qiao Mu's simple and generous dress, coupled with his natural and beautiful face, has attracted the attention of many people.
Qiaoya, who was wearing a floor-length dress, looked like a lady. She smiled and looked at the empty-handed arbor, "Mu Mu, where is your birthday present?"
"Sister, you must be very curious about what gift I have prepared? It's not time to give the gift. The birthday gift will be taken out soon." Qiao Mu blinked, that was very naughty.
Qiao Jiannan laughed, "Hurry up and greet the guests."
The family is "happy and happy."
Qiao Mu knew that Yu Tingyun and Qiao Ya didn't like her. How could they like her? Her existence meant that her father had cheated on her. It put her as an illegitimate daughter under his eyes.
However, Yu Tingyun's heart is "broad", and a dignified lady, even if she doesn't like it, she can show her virtuous side. So in front of Qiao Jiannan, she and this stepmother get along very harmoniously.
In order to maintain the virtuous image of her mistress, Yu Tingyun disguised herself very well, and Qiao Mu was so happy to play her role well.
Qiao Mu scanned the hall and found that everyone's attention was not on her, and then she sneaked out of the banquet hall quietly.
Outside the villa, there was a taxi parked. When the arbor came out, a person got out of the taxi.
"Xiaxia, I love you so much!" Qiao Mu rushed over, trying to give Chi Xia a bear hug, but was ruthlessly blocked.
"Don't get tired of crookedness, it's a mess for me! What do you think, you forgot to bring the birthday present for your stepmother, you put it in the dormitory, and it was almost thrown away as trash!"
"Hey, pay attention to what you say, any rubbish, people will feel that I'm not sincere."
