CHAPTER 875: CHAPTER 872 WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL COUSIN

But no matter when Mr. Shen comes back, he definitely won’t make it in time for her birthday.

Staring blankly at her phone for a while, Ji Muran sent Shen Wenzhou a "Good morning," then got up to wash up.

The weather was still very cold, but today was also a sunny day. After washing up and changing clothes, Ji Muran hurried out the door.

There were new employees in the store, so she didn’t need to help out there, but the new store still needed her supervision.

Early in the morning, Ji Muran went straight to the new store. After repeatedly instructing the renovation worker and confirming there was nothing more she could help with there, Ji Muran went to the second store.

Although she didn’t need to help in the kitchen, she still had to handle the accounting. Even though the system recorded all the transactions, she had to verify them herself, otherwise chaos would ensue.

Busy until the afternoon, Ji Muran returned to the Ji Family home, where Song Ziyi had arranged a birthday party for her.

As soon as she arrived at the Ji Family’s doorstep, Ji Muran noticed several more cars in front of the villa. Upon closer inspection, the cars seemed familiar.

Feeling a bit surprised, Ji Muran walked into the villa and was completely astonished when she saw who was in the living room.

The living room was filled with people—her uncle and aunt, her cousins and their spouses, and even Aunt Ye and Uncle Shen were there!

"Tiantian is back!" Ye Wanwan was the first to notice Ji Muran at the entrance and quickly waved to her.

Ji Muran felt a bit nervous, but she pursed her lips and walked towards the living room. "Aunt Ye, everyone is here."

"Yes, we’re here to celebrate your birthday," replied Ye Wanwan.

Ji Muran’s cheeks flushed slightly. She had known Aunt Ye for a long time, and although she was just an ordinary elder, Ji Muran only needed to act as a respectful junior.

But now that she was with Mr. Shen, Aunt Ye’s status had changed. Even though Aunt Ye seemed quite pleased with her, Ji Muran still felt a bit uneasy.

"It’s getting late, and since Tiantian is back, let’s eat and chat," said Song Ziyi.

So everyone moved to the dining room and sat down to eat.

During the meal, Ye Wanwan and Song Ziyi inevitably asked about Ji Muran and Shen Wenzhou’s relationship.

Ji Muran listened quietly, and when they asked how she and Mr. Shen were doing recently, she replied in a muffled voice, "Pretty good."

Ye Wanwan and Song Ziyi exchanged a glance, looking rather pleased with themselves.

Ji Yanlin, sitting nearby, said, "You should really make an effort. I’m waiting for someone to call me cousin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the table erupted in laughter. Ye Chaochao laughed too, nudging Ji Yanlin. "What are you thinking?"

Based on age, Ji Yanlin should call Shen Wenzhou "brother." Now that he’s become Shen Wenzhou’s brother-in-law, he should willingly call him "brother."

Yet he wanted Shen Wenzhou to call him "brother."

Everyone had a happy meal together. After the meal, they had cake, and it was clear they gathered here today to celebrate Ji Muran’s birthday.

When everything ended, everyone went home.

Ji Muran drove back to her small apartment. She was very happy today; even though Mr. Shen couldn’t come back to celebrate with her, she was still very happy.

After returning home, Ji Muran took a bath as usual, then tidied up and lay down in her bedroom.
