Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Yun’s Father’s Birthday Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Yun’s Father’s Birthday Because he had done something he felt guilty about, he didn’t want to disappoint Yun Shan, so he really took a bite.

As soon as he bit into it, he couldn’t help but spit it out!

Yun Shan’s face changed, “Brother Zhijie, does it taste that bad?”

Yes, it was terrible!

Without any flavor to speak of, all of the noodles were stuck together, hard, and clearly uncooked.

This was probably the worst thing Wei Zhijie had ever eaten.

Yun Shan hurriedly took a bite and realized it indeed tasted awful, her eyes instantly reddening.

“Brother Zhijie, I’m so useless, I can’t even make noodles properly. I’m sorry, I can’t compare to your sister at all, I really am too stupid…”

“Yun Shan, you’re just not good at cooking, that’s all, it’s my fault for making you cook when I knew you couldn’t. Don’t be sad, I don’t blame you, let’s order takeout,” Wei Zhijie gently comforted her, and Yun Shan instantly broke into a smile, “Brother Zhijie, you’re so good to me.”

Seeing her smile, Wei Zhijie felt his sense of guilt lessen somewhat.

He thought being nice to Yun Shan should absolve him of some self-reproach.

That was Wei Zhijie, always thinking that by giving a little, he could lessen the wrongs he’d done. He had been like this with Hai Lan before, and now he was starting to do the same with Yun Shan.

But Yun Shan didn’t understand him, and he didn’t really understand himself either…

Of course, Wei Zhijie liked Yun Shan now and treated her very well. To make up for his mistakes, he gave Yun Shan two hundred thousand as spending money.

However, Yun Shan quickly squandered the money.

Yun Shan wasn’t materialistic; she just wanted the best of everything without understanding the value of saving money or the hardship of earning it, so she spent without restraint.

She only knew that if she dressed up beautifully, Brother Zhijie would be very happy, and she could also tell her parents outright that she was living happily, so their opposition to her being with Wei Zhijie was wrong.

So Yun Shan dressed in branded clothes, wore a beautiful diamond necklace, carried a designer handbag, and went home.

Today was Yun Shan’s father’s birthday, and she had to go back.

This was also her first time home since she had run away.

Yun Shan didn’t dare to ask Wei Zhijie to accompany her, planning to go back on her own first; maybe her parents would agree to her being with Brother Zhijie if they saw she was doing well.

Once her parents agreed to them, she could bring Brother Zhijie home just the same.

Of course, Yun Shan’s ostentatious appearance upon returning wasn’t just to tell her parents she was doing well, but also to show off to Hai Lan.

She knew Hai Lan would also be there today.

She still understood Hai Lan; Hai Lan hated her, but wouldn’t hate her parents, so she was certain to come for Yun Shan’s father’s birthday.

Yun Shan returned home with a mix of excitement, nervousness, anticipation, and an inexplicable sense of unease.

She also felt somewhat justified in her return.

After all, her parents were so unreasonable and domineering, but she was planning to forgive them, so they were sure to be happy she came back.

Yun Shan had nice thoughts, but her mother, who opened the door, showed no signs of happiness upon seeing her.

“Mom, I’m back, I’ve come for Dad’s birthday,” Yun Shan said to her mother, trying to smile.

Yun Shan’s mother had already scanned her up and down with her gaze.

In her early years, Yun Shan’s mother had been a lady of standing, having seen every brand there was.

She knew at a glance how much Yun Shan’s outfit was worth.

Seeing her daughter dressed so well, Yun Shan’s mother felt not joy, but a heavy heart.
