Can't Let Go

Chapter 219 Nervous

Time was fleeting.

During this period, Laura Su went to school and lived as usual.

On weekends, she would occasionally hang out and have high tea with Nancy Xi .

Of course, sometimes, she would go out and have fun with Uncle Huo.

Time flew in the blink of an eye. Look, it was only two days from her birthday.

Laura Su also became nervous.

She was not only nervous about the threshold of being 18.

Moreover, she was nervous about the bustling from top to bottom at home.

When Dad was around, her birthday would be grand every year.

But she had never imagined it to be so grand.

Servants started to decorate the place. Hundreds of thousands of flowers were transported home by air

only as ornament.

Besides, it turned out that Uncle Huo invited several chefs making desserts from France.

The chefs were studying the menu every day, so that the birthday party could be most exquisite and

satisfy everybody.

The atmosphere at home became especially solemn all of a sudden, so that no servant would talk to

her when she went downstairs every day.

Since everybody was too busy to pay any attention to her.

Even Uncle Pan would be checking the variety of dishes and various ingredients sent over every day,

so as to ensure perfectness.

Laura Su sat in the room and was a little struck dumb.

It was just a birthday.

Was everybody making a mountain out of a molehill?

Such atmosphere put her under great pressure.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Someone was knocking at the door to her bedroom.

Presently, the door was open.

Laura Su turned around and looked. She couldn’t help laughing “Uncle Huo, you have come off work,

right?”

Debra Huo walked over with a smile, and inquired on looking at the card in front of her “Have you

written down the name of all your classmates you want to invite?”

Laura Su didn’t speak. She bit the nib and seemed hesitant when she looked at the cards.

“What’s up?” He sat down and looked at her, “Is there any problem?”

“Not really…” She frowned, looked at the man and said “I have several good friends in class, but most

classmates are unfamiliar to me…”

She had been to school for such a long time, many classmates just smiled at her, only a few would

really talk to her.

So, who on earth should she invite?

Who shouldn’t be invited? She had no idea.

“Invite those you like, not those you don’t like. But…” He punched her in the face, “I want to give you a

grand birthday party, and I wish you can be the most dazzling one on the day of becoming an adult.

Likewise, I also wish more people can witness this moment, do you understand?”

Xinghan College was a famous college for wealthy people.

Everything here depended on wealth.

All college students here would hold birthday parties to prove the financial strength of their families, so

that they wouldn’t be looked down upon.

Although he scorned at it, he wished his girl could be the happiest and most enviable one.

“Then…can I invite the whole class?” She knitted her brows and inquired.

“Of course!” He smiled, “If you want, you can even invite freshmen.”

“No, no, no!” Laura Su hastened to wave her hands, “That’s not necessary! Our class is enough!”

It would be too exaggerated to invite all the freshmen.

“OK, go to bed early, dozens of dresses will be sent over tomorrow, you can take your time and take

your picks.” With it, the man stood up, “I’ll see to a document in the study, go to bed early, and don’t

stay up!”

“OK!” Laura Su nodded and followed him with her eyes. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Uncle Pan said, in fact, Uncle Huo was quite busy these days.

But as her birthday was about to come, he would still manage to find time and choose the styles of

cake and various desserts with her.

“OK, I’ll have to hurry up!” She cheered for herself secretly, and then scribbled down the list.

——

It was Saturday.

“Holy cow, so beautiful!” Nancy Xi exclaimed at her beautiful dresses, “Tang, these are completely

customized for you, they look so perfect!”

Laura Su wore a pink dress, grabbed her hand and chuckled “I’ll give you the dresses you like,

tomorrow will be my birthday, let’s wear the dresses together, OK?”

She never liked being dressed up like this.

She always felt quite awkward and uncomfortable in that way.

Besides, there would be so many people tomorrow; would it be an embarrassment by that time?

“Hey, this won’t do!” Nancy Xi hastened to refuse, “You’ll be the protagonist tomorrow, so how can I

overshadow you? By the way, there hasn’t been enough space to put my dresses in the wardrobe for a

long time. It’s such a headache for me! Why are you giving more to me?”

“Ah?” Laura Su knitted her brows. The expensive dresses all over the bed were a headache for her

“Wh..which one should I pick?”

Nancy Xi cupped her cheeks. Each of the dresses was pretty and perfect.

But tomorrow was her birthday!

She had invited the entire class.

So that meant those girls would surely come over in stunning clothes.

After all, girls were girls; they all wanted to become the most dazzling.

Therefore, if Laura wanted to stand out from those wealthy girls, she must…

be unique!

“Nancy, what’s wrong with you?”

Nancy Xi didn’t speak. She looked at these dresses. Each of them was quite stiff, exposing shoulders

at most.

One’s back would be fully covered.

In a word, they were conservative!

There would be nothing wrong to receive her classmates and friends with those clothes at the

beginning of the party.

But afterwards, she would start the first dance to celebrate her adulthood.

By that time, everybody would focus on her. Whether she could shine also depended on that moment.

On thinking about this, the corner of Nancy Xi ‘s mouth was slightly upturned.

“Laura, you can wear the pink one tomorrow!”

“OK!” Laura Su had been a little hesitant. Since Nancy Xi had picked it for her, she would naturally

accept it happily.

Nancy Xi smiled faintly, but her eyes were extremely bright.

Tomorrow, she would surely astonish the audiences with Laura!

Therefore, she would be the one preparing the dress!

——

On the other side.

“It’ll be her 18th birthday tomorrow?” Anna Sun looked at the invitation and frowned.

“Yes, look at the invitation card made from pure gold, isn’t she showing off her wealth?” Su Wen was

mad. Who did Laura Su think she was? It was just a birthday party for an 18 year old, was it necessary

to hold it on such a grand scale?

“It seems that this financier is flushed!” While turning over this card made from pure gold, Anna Sun’s

eyes became filled with jealousy, “Why does that idiot think she deserves it?”

Enough is enough. What is the use of saying it now?” Sun Jianjun knitted his brows, “Mei, now that she

has invited you to her birthday party, you should seize the chance. I have investigated this man.”

After it, he looked unpleasant.

“Really? Who is he?” May Su asked hastily.

“Michael Huo’s son, Debra Huo!”

“Michael Huo…” Anna Sun frowned. She suddenly said in surprise “Huo… Michael Huo? The son of

the famous Michael Huo in Austral City?”

Sun Jianjun nodded “Or the richest guy in Austral City. No, to be more exact, he is ranked among the

top three wealthiest persons on Forbes Worlds Billionaires. He has numerous properties. It remains a

myth how many public companies he has. However, judging by the castles he has lived in, and the

private planes and yachts he has owned, his wealth can rival that of some small countries.”

“Then he is extremely wealthy, isn’t he?” Anna Sun was surprised.

“Yes!” Sun Jianjun nodded, “We all know what kind of influential man Michael Huo, his Dad, used to be

in Austral City. But we never expected his son would excel him. It’s so surprising!”

The man knitted his brows even more tightly on saying it.

He couldn’t get why the man would know his younger brother.

Why would he accept that silly girl?

And what on earth had happened during this period that he didn’t know about?

“How could she!” May Su couldn’t help beating the table on hearing the information, “How could Laura

Su find such a good man? She is nothing compared to me. How could she!”

She went mad on thinking of how she could become the wife of the richest man and wear gold and

silver jewelry in the future.

Since her childhood, she had been the brightest one and Laura Su was like an ugly duckling that had

remained silent with no supporter.

Why could she get such good conditions?

Victor Su remained silent.

How could she?

He wasn’t clear about it, either.

However, he knew that Laura Su had a strong backer.

“Mei, calm down. Listen to me. Now that you are invited this time, then we shall grab the man over, so

that that castle can be yours.” Anna Sun said with cunning eyes “This is a good opportunity. You’ve got

to grasp it!”

Her daughter had been the most expected one since her birth.

Therefore, her daughter should stand on the commanding height.

“But I am not the only one invited. There are many other classmates!” May Su was angry.

How could she invite the whole class? They were just small potatoes.

“Mei, your younger sister is no longer that silly. This time she has invited you, and you’ve only got this

single opportunity, do you understand?” Victor Su looked at her “The only way to grab men is to…”

He said nothing, but his eyes explained everything.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll surely make good use of this opportunity and win him over!” May Su was filled

with confidence.

In fact, she was not interested in the identity of Debra Huo at all.

She cared more about his appearance.

She had never seen a man who could be handsome, learned, refined and classy at the same time

while living up to all the perfect words she could think of.

Hah!

She, May Su, had seen countless men. She was second to none in terms of serving men.

How could Laura Su, looking so silly and adorkable, be a match to her?

Men always love enchanting women.

While she happened to be good in that respect!

“Don’t worry! I’ll go with Mei!” Anna Sun smiled mysteriously and pulled the hands of her daughter,

“Don’t worry, Mom is here. All your wishes will come true tomorrow!”

May Su threw herself into her arms hastily and chuckled.

Laura Su, I, May Su, would let you know.

Your 18th birthday would be an indelible shadow of your lifetime!
