92 Birthday Party

In just a short while, many relatives and friends suddenly came. Julia did not expect Gloria to invite so many people this time. It had never happened before.

As soon as there were more people, they started to talk, basically were all fancy flattery.

"Wow, Ana is really getting prettier and prettier. No wonder she is a cellist. She is surrounded by the artist temperament."

"If I have such an outstanding child, I would even wake up laughing in my dreams."

"You are truly blessed. Who doesn't like such a lovely girl?"

Gloria was dressed in a dark red gown today, looking exceptionally elegant and graceful. Everyone enjoyed compliments. As she was in a good mood to have tea with these relatives to tea, her hand seemed to accidentally touch the jade buddha she wore.

A relative with sharp eyes immediately praised, "This jade buddha's texture is really transparent. I have never seen such a sparkling and luxurious color. It's really a high—grade one."

Gloria smiled and said, "This is Ana's gift when she went to Phoenix Temple to beg for me. She is not in a good health, but she even specially ran over to get me a Buddha token to bless my health."

Hearing this, Ana lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks were dyed red with embarrassment. She said delicately, "Mom, stop saying that. Isn't this what I should do?"

"What a filial and lovable child. She is also so beatuiful..."

The relatives flattered them again. Julia once thought that she had entered a chatting group created for praising others.

There was a continuous buzzing sound beside her ears...

She stood for a while and prepared to leave. After all, it was Gloria's birthday, and she didn't want to make her unhappy.

"Happy birthday, Mrs. Green. I wish everything goes well. Then I won't disturb you."

Ana got up quickly and said, "Julia, today is Mom's birthday, can't you stay for dinner?"

Julia was so confused.

Every year on Gloria's birthday, Julia chose to avoid so that they could have a happy meal. Gloria had also told the servants that she only had a birthday once a year and she didn't want to see Julia on such a happy day.

This was the rules that understood by everyone, but now it turned out to be her fault.

The relatives seemed to discover that there was still a living person standing beside them, and they all cast their gazes at Julia.

The looks in their eyes were the same disdain and contempt.

Everyone knew that the Greens still had a little girl who was lost and found again. She was not loved by the family, and she had been in the entertainment industry for almost two years without becoming famous. She had achieved nothing but brought disgrace to the family.

Ana didn't miss everyone's reactions and continued, "Julia, just stay and eat with us. Mom will be very happy."

As soon as Ana said these words, Gloria's expression became even more gloomy. Originally, it wouldn't matter if Julia left directly. Now that so many relatives were here, if Julia left, Gloria would feel very humiliated.

Julia knew that Ana was just trying to trample on her so that she could foil her sense of superiority.

She doesn't care.

Afterall, it was not the first time.

So Julia replied indifferently, "Alright."

At this time, a middle—aged woman wearing a cheongsam asked, "This is the second daughter of the Greens, right? I heard that she is a celebrity. What kind of gift did you prepare for Mrs. Green this time?"

Julia brought along a famous donkey—hide cake, which was placed aside casually at this moment. Gloria did not even have the interest to take a look.

Now that it was mentioned, there were gossipy relatives who wanted Gloria to open it and see what kind of gift it was.

When everyone saw that it was a box of exquisitely packaged donkey—hide cakes, the mockeries on their faces was extremely obvious.

That was it?

That woman in cheongsam continued, "I heard that the stars in the entertainment industry earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year. This is too..."

Julia was was expressionless. It was true that one can earn a lot of money in the entertainment industry, but as an fresh yet unknown actress, she could not earn much money. She had already thrown all the money in the company into the movies.

A box of high—quality donkey—hide cakes cost 8,800 dollars. When she bought it, there were only 15,000 dollars left in her card.

Although Julia felt that they weren't qualified as parents, she had to fulfill her obligations as a daughter.

Gloria didn't look well. She felt embarrassed and shouted, "Come someone to clean up the coffee table." Apparently, it was to have the servants tidy up the donkey—hide cake.

Julia didn't care. Afterall, no matter what she gave to Gloria, it would be thrown away.

For so many years, she had already gotten used to it.

When the relatives saw this, they didn't have any qualms about what they were saying.

"The entertainment industry is not easy to deal with now. If you can't have any achievements, why don't you find a good family to marry?"

"That's right. Rather than bringing disgrace to your family, why don't you quit? What kind of this thing for such a decent family?"

"The vice president of our company has just divorced. His conditions are very good. I think he is quite suitable for Julia."

When Gloria heard this, she was moved. Then she replied casually, "Then you can make some arrangements for Julia."

In any case, Julia had to marry someone after getting divorced. What kind of man could like her, who had no good education and had a bad track record?

Julia had saved Ford by coincidence, but Gloria didn't expect that her ambition was to marry him.

Gloria looked at this outstanding child growing up and wanted him to marry Ana.

The two of them were a match made in heaven.

She naturally did not agree with Julie's nonsense. Besides, how could such an excellent child like Ford marry her?

However, she didn't exprect that Ford would agreed. Even obtaining the certificate was in a sudden, and she didn't even have time to stop it.

She was very angry at that time.

Fortunately, they were was going to get divorced.

In the end, Ford would become her son—in—law.

When the woman in cheongsam saw the opportunity, she continued, "If you are interested, I can arrange an appointment."

"This man is 45 this year. Though he is older, but he can be very sensible and considerate. Moreover, his child is 20 years old, so Juila doesn't have to worry about being a mother now."

Ana replied weakly from the side, "He has a child? Isn't it not good?"

Ana knew that this relative had always been a bitch and her words were harsh and unpleasant to hear, so she guided this woman to say a few more words to provoke Julia.

As Ana expected, the woman said disdainfully, "You don't understand, Ana. Few rich people are willing to marry an actress. It's a good thing to have children."

The woman glanced at Julia with contempt, "I heard that the circle is in a mess. Whether she can still have a child or not is not certain."

The more Julia listened, the more curious she became. It was as if she had opened the door to a new world. Where did this woman get the intuition that a 45—year—old middle—aged man with a 20—year—old son was very suitable for her?

Not all people would shut up when you ignored them. The woman continued as if she was doing Julia a favor, "Julia, am I right? I only told you this because I didn't treat you as an outsider. This condition is really good. Why don't I make an appointment for you two recently?"

Julia didn't know where to start arguing and directly said, "Madam, is you living beside the sea?"

The woman was puzzled.

Julia continued, "I think you really like to interfere others."

"Please do treat me as an outsider." They were just strangers, so it was better not to have any relations.
