Mingxi didn't know that when she went to celebrate her birthday with Fu Yangxi, He Yang, and Dong Shen, the Zhao Family had actually come.

The Zhao Family had mixed feelings about Mingxi's birthday. They didn't know how to get back together with Zhao Mingxi and mend the rift. Now, they should be celebrating her birthday, but she didn't want to.

Therefore, on Mingxi's birthday, when the Zhao Family had breakfast early in the morning, the atmosphere at the table was very tense.

Everyone knew that today was Zhao Mingxi's birthday, but looking at the empty seat at the table, everyone was silent. They mechanically stirred the porridge in their bowls, not knowing what to say or do.

Zhao Yuning had stayed in the hotel for more than half a month and refused to go home.

However, because Zhao Yuan had gone to training, she wouldn't be back for more than ten days.

He was forced and coaxed to go home by Zhao Zhanhuai.

The Zhao Family couldn't really let a fifteen-year-old child stay outside for too long.

However, the first condition that Zhao Yuning agreed to go home was to raise a stray cat that he had found near the hotel.

Zhao Yuan was allergic to cat hair, and it was easy for her skin to itch and eczema.

Although Zhao Yuan had caused trouble not long ago and caused losses to Zhao Zhanhuai's company, Zhao Zhanhuai's mother and father couldn't joke about Zhao Yuan's health just because they were angry.

Therefore, Zhao Zhanhuai's mother and father discussed in private. They planned to agree to Zhao Yuning's request and let him bring the cat back and raise it for more than ten days.

When Zhao Yuan came back, they would send the cat away when he wasn't paying attention.

It was a buffer strategy.

Zhao Yuning didn't know that the others in the family were trying to trick him into coming back no matter what. He thought that they really let him raise a cat. He excitedly took his friends to the pet shop and bought a cat litter box, a very high-end automatic water dispenser, and an automatic feeding machine. He built a nest for his little Mei An on the third floor of the villa.

He had something to do for the past two days, so he stayed on the third floor of the villa.

When he was eating in the morning, he was covered in cat fur. Looking at the empty seat opposite him, he suddenly felt lost.

Now, he had a cat, but the person who had secretly raised a cat with him in a thrilling and happy mood was no longer there.

Zhao Mingxi would no longer serve him food or play games with him in the middle of the night.

Zhao Yuning felt lonely. Apart from losing his sister, he had also lost an important playmate.

Zhao Yuning suddenly counted the days and realized that Zhao Mingxi had not been home for more than two months.

If converted to years, it would be a quarter of a year.

After such a long time, everyone in the family finally realized that Zhao Mingxi would definitely not come back in a short period of time.

Even if Zhao Yuning did not want to accept it, he could only accept this reality.

He had raised a cat for the past few days. He thought that by diverting his attention, he would not think about it again.

However, he never expected that although Zhao Mingxi had only been at home for two years, there were traces of her everywhere in the house, including the light blue cushion on her chair.

Zhao Yuning saw that there was no one sitting on her light blue cushion, and that there was no tableware on her seat.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Zhao Yuning did not say a word.

Recently, Mother Zhao had not been eating or sleeping well. She looked much older and was not in the mood to talk.

Zhao Mo was not at home.

Zhao Zhanhuai ate his meal in low spirits. After eating, he had to go to the company as soon as possible to solve the mess from a while ago.

Only Father Zhao looked at the newspaper and then at Mingxi's empty seat. He felt very upset. "If I remember correctly, today is Mingxi's birthday. Do you have any thoughts?"

"She doesn't recognize us and refuses to come home. How else can we celebrate her birthday?"

Mother Zhao said in a hoarse voice. When she spoke, she was weak as if she would die at any time. "I'm afraid the person she hates the most now is me."

Thinking about it, she was really a failure as a mother. Zhao Yuning didn't like her, and Mingxi also hated her.

It seemed that only Zhao Yuan was close to her. But thinking of this, Mother Zhao felt even more heartbroken. What was the use of being close to someone who was not her biological daughter?

What if one day Zhao Yuan found her biological parents and left with them?

Then wouldn't her efforts be in vain?

Three years ago, after discovering that Zhao Yuan was not their biological daughter, they did not try to find Zhao Yuan's biological parents.

At that time, Father Zhao proposed to find them.

Because Father Zhao was a very traditional person, he was more inclined to blood relations. If she was not his daughter, wouldn't he be raising someone else's daughter?

It was also he who insisted on finding Zhao Mingxi.

However, at that time, Mother Zhao was reluctant to let Zhao Yuan go, so she cried and made a fuss to stop Father Zhao from finding Zhao Yuan's biological parents.

After that, this matter was left unsettled.

"Don't say such discouraging words." Father Zhao frowned and said, "Blood relations can't be cut off."

Zhao Zhanhuai said, "She is a little girl who is training outside. It's very hard. Her birthday must be celebrated.

She's already 18 years old, but we've only celebrated her birthday twice. "

After the last sentence, the four people at the table fell silent.
