The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 743: Keeping the Appointment

The final decision was not to hold a birthday party this time, just a small celebration at home for Shi Jiaojiao.

However, Shi Jiaojiao refused. Shi Yuanbo initially thought his daughter was angry and throwing a tantrum, but she acted very graciously.

She said she had plans with friends to celebrate her birthday tonight and wouldn’t be home, telling Shi Yuanbo not to worry about her.

Shi Yuanbo was curious about which friends she was meeting, but Shi Jiaojiao mysteriously raised her eyebrows and didn’t say much.

That afternoon, Shi Jiaojiao dressed up beautifully at home, trying on almost every piece of clothing in her wardrobe.

Finally, she settled on a red tight-fitting short dress.

Shi Jiaojiao’s figure was undoubtedly very good, and the dress accentuated the alluring curves of her body in a sexy way.

Then, she started putting on makeup, spreading out all of her branded cosmetics, and fussing for more than an hour until she finished.

Looking at the nearly perfect face in the mirror, she smiled faintly, acknowledging her beauty might not surpass Shi Nuan.

But her makeup skills were top-notch, and with the enhancements of makeup, she reckoned she wasn’t much worse off compared to Shi Nuan.

Perhaps Shen Zui might become infatuated with her, who knows!

She stood in front of the mirror, admiring her look from every angle, completely satisfied with the makeup, and then spent some more time choosing shoes and a handbag.

After everything was chosen, she glanced at the time and exclaimed in surprise.

Oh my, it’s almost six o’clock...

But it was okay because she was meeting Shen Zui at seven o’clock, so she still had time.

She gently smiled at herself in the mirror, reassured that she looked flawless, and then put on high heels and left the room.

Shi Yuanbo and Li Guirong were in the living room helping Shi Tianchao with his homework, and they were very curious upon seeing their daughter come out all dressed up.

Especially Shi Yuanbo: "Do you really need to dress so formally to celebrate your birthday with friends?"

Shi Jiaojiao replied: "Of course, today is my birthday, I’m the main character. I must look nice, or I’ll be overshadowed by other women, and where would that leave the face of Miss Shi?"

Shi Yuanbo wanted to say "the skirt is too short," but Li Guirong interrupted, saying: "Alright, Jiaojiao’s right. After all, she is Miss Shi, it’s only right she dresses beautifully, and given her status, no one would dare do anything to her, rest assured!"

Shi Yuanbo was actually still worried, but thinking that Shi Jiaojiao hadn’t really gotten into trouble all these years.

In the end, he said nothing more.

Shi Jiaojiao smiled sweetly at them and said, "Dad, Mom, I’m heading out now, goodbye!"

She had already left, while Shi Yuanbo didn’t forget to remind her back: "Remember to come back early, don’t stay out too late!"

Shi Jiaojiao didn’t respond; she was already too far gone.

After Shi Jiaojiao left, Shi Yuanbo sighed softly and blamed his wife Li Guirong: "Jiaojiao is over twenty and still acts so spoiled and willful, all because you pamper her..."

Li Guirong retorted: "What’s wrong with doting on her? She’s my daughter; am I not allowed to spoil and protect her?"

"That’s not what I mean..." Shi Yuanbo wanted to say that Shi Nuan was also his daughter...

But given Li Guirong’s personality, if she could truly be a good stepmother, she would have treated Shi Nuan like her own long ago; why wait until now!
