Chapter 194 Giving Gifts

Father Li walked to the center of the stage, cleared his throat, and began to deliver his birthday greetings.

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing throughout the banquet hall as he recounted Li Huanyan's growth, his words filled with love and expectations for his daughter.

The guests listened attentively, occasionally bursting into enthusiastic applause.

After the congratulatory speech, Li Huanyan walked to the center of the stage, where a huge birthday cake was slowly pushed up.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, silently made a wish, and then gently blew out the candle.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The banquet officially began, and everyone took their seats.

Li Qinghuai led Song Qianyi to the main table and arranged for her to sit next to Li Huanyan.

Seeing this, Lin Li was furious, but she could only suppress her anger and sit in a slightly distant spot.

On the main table, exquisite dishes were served one after another, emitting an enticing aroma.

Father Li broke the brief silence first. He looked at Song Qianyi with obvious appreciation and goodwill in his eyes, and said gently.

“Miss Song, it is an honor to have you attend my daughter’s birthday party today. I have heard that you and Qingyang are good friends. That is one of the good things about Qingyang. It is his good fortune to know Miss Song.”

Song Qianyi bowed slightly in polite response.

"Uncle Li, you flatter me. Just call me Qianyi. I have known Second Young Master Li for a long time, and he has helped me a lot. I am very happy to be able to attend Huanyan's birthday banquet."

Li's mother smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Qianyi is clearly a very well-mannered child. She is elegant and graceful, and she should be able to get along well with Huanyan."

Li Huanyan chimed in, "Sister Song is so kind, I really like her."

Song Qianyi responded with a smile to each of them.

Lin Li sat a little further away, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the main table, especially staring at Song Qianyi and Li Qinghuai.

As Lin Li watched Song Qianyi chatting and laughing at the main table, the flames of jealousy in her heart burned ever brighter.

She gritted her teeth and decided not to sit idly by and wait for her fate.

So she got up and swayed toward the main table.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, let me toast you to thank you for hosting such a grand banquet."

Lin Li wore a sweet smile, but her eyes inadvertently swept towards Li Qinghuai.

Mr. and Mrs. Li responded politely and drank the wine in their glasses with her.

Lin Li turned to Li Huanyan and said, "Huanyan, happy birthday. I hope you will always be as beautiful and happy as you are today."

Then, with a meaningful smile, she took out an exquisite gift box.

"Huanyan, this is a gift I specially picked out for you. I hope you will like it."

Lin Li handed the gift box to Li Huanyan, but her eyes glanced at Song Qianyi almost imperceptibly.

Li Huanyan happily accepted the gift box.

"Sister Lin, thank you so much. I'm so happy that you came, and you even brought me such a beautiful gift."

Lin Li smiled and said, "Huanyan, quickly open it and see if you like it."

Li Huanyan opened the gift box as instructed. Inside was a dazzling diamond necklace that sparkled brilliantly under the lights, drawing gasps of amazement from the surrounding guests.

Lin Li said, feigning modesty.

"Although this necklace can't compare to those top-tier jewels, I still carefully selected it, hoping it will match Huanyan's beauty."

"By the way, Miss Song, you also prepared a gift for Huanyan, right? Show it to us so we can see it too."

As soon as Lin Li spoke, the atmosphere at the main table subtly changed.

Li Qingyang looked at Lin Li with a hint of sneer, while Li Qinghuai frowned.

Li Huanyan looked at Song Qianyi somewhat awkwardly, not knowing that Lin Li would say such a thing.

Song Qianyi remained calm. She gently took out a small box from her handbag, handed it to Li Huanyan, and said with a smile.

"Huanyan, this is a small token of my appreciation for you. I hope you will like it."

Li Huanyan quickly accepted it, saying, "I'll definitely like anything Sister Song gives me."

Li Huanyan held Song Qianyi's gift but did not open it immediately.

Li Qingyang recognized it; it was the pink diamond earring that Song Qianyi had bought at the auction they went to together last time.

Lin Li noticed that Li Huanyan did not immediately open Song Qianyi's gift.

She couldn't help but urge, "Huanyan, why don't you open it and take a look? Is there something about Miss Song's gift that's inconvenient to show?"

Lin Li looked disdainful. In her opinion, the gifts that Song Qianyi, who had no background, could give could never compare to her own.

Her gift must have been very cheap.
