As the two of them were taking selfies, they were only snap some close-up shots. However, Lin Jiayi wanted a few full-body shots too. So, she pa.s.sed her phone over to Lin Jiage and said, Take some photos for me and Yaoyao.

She paused for a moment before supplementing, I want full-body shots.

Without saying a word, Lin Jiage took the camera over and stood up from his seat.

Before they began the impromptu photoshoot, Lin Jiayi, out of a lack of confidence in Lin Jiages photography skills, began instructing sternly, Take a few more shots at once. Ill choose the best one out of them all later on.

Also, while youre taking our photos, you have to make sure that both my feet and Yaoyaos are at the bottom of the photo. This will make our legs look longer.

It should also go without saying that you should turn on the beautifying effect

Facing Lin Jiayis incessant nagging, Lin Jiage didnt say a single word at all. He grabbed the phone and began snapping shots of the two.

After taking around twenty to thirty shots, Grandpa Lins birthday banquet finally began.

Everyone quickly ended their conversations and headed to their seats as indicated on the tags on the table.

After everyone in the banquet hall had finally settled down, Grandpa Lin finally walked to the forefront of the room and began his speech.

While he addressed the guests, the waiters also began serving the dishes too.

By the time the waiters were done serving the dishes, Grandpa Lin was also mostly done with what he had to say. He received a wine cup Auntie Sun was pa.s.sing over and proposed a toast to everyone present in the room.

After that, everyone began to dig into the food.

During this period of time, there were quite a few people who approached Grandpa Lin to have a toast with him and present their birthday presents.

s.h.i.+ Yao, Lin Jiage, and Lin Jiayi, who were seated on the same table as Grandpa Lin, also offered their blessings and gifts to Grandpa Lin too.

Liang Mumu was seated on the table right behind s.h.i.+ Yaos. During the entire course of the meal, she had been keeping an eye on s.h.i.+ Yao, and just as s.h.i.+ Yao was about to present her gift to Grandpa Lin, she inconspicuously nudged the woman seated beside to her.

The woman raised her gaze to look at Liang Mumu, only to see Liang Mumu gesturing toward Grandpa Lins table with her chin. Understanding Liang Mumus signal, she turned to Grandpa Lins table and saw s.h.i.+ Yao presenting her gift to Grandpa Lin.

So, she put on a smile and spoke up, Old Master Lin, arent you going to open up Yaoyaos present and see what she has gotten for you?

Hearing those words, s.h.i.+ Yao turned over to look at the woman who had just spoken up.

It was a familiar face. She couldnt recall the name of that woman, but she had some impression of her.

Back then, when she first went to Golden Resplendence together with Lin Jiage, that woman was one of the two who had talked bad about her outside the washroom.

She was also the person who was with Liang Mumu when she accompanied Lin Jiage to the shopping mall to pick out Lin Jiayis present during her birthday.

It was clear that the mastermind behind that womans actions was no other than Liang Mumu, be it the badmouthing incident back at the Golden Resplendence or the question that she was asking right now.

Grandpa Lin didnt think much into the question. After hearing those words, he beckoned for Auntie Sun to unwrap the present s.h.i.+ Yao had prepared for him with a beaming smile. When he saw the inkstone inside, his smile brightened even further as he exclaimed, Yaoyaos present is truly to my liking!

Hearing Grandpa Lins response, s.h.i.+ Yao quickly retracted her gaze from Liang Mumus side and responded to Grandpa Lin with her eyes curled into crescent smiles, Im glad that you like the present I gave you.

Grandpa Lin delightfully replied, Of course! I treasure anything that Yaoyao gives me. Ill calligraph a few words with this inkstone one of these days and give it to you.

s.h.i.+ Yao smiled brightly in response, saying, Thank you, Grandpa Lin.

While Liang Mumu looked at the smile on s.h.i.+ Yaos face and listened to the conversation between her and Grandpa Lin, a cold sneer slowly formed on her lips.

You should smile all you can now. Lets see whether you can still squeeze out a smile once I have my way with you!
