The next day was Leng Ning's birthday at the Leng Mansion.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Leng got up to instruct the servants to prepare, purchase ingredients, decorate the house, and arrange Leng Ning's birthday party. If it weren't for yesterday's small accident involving John getting injured, her plans wouldn't have been disrupted, and she would have taken care of everything last night.
As for the gift, she had been so occupied with John's matter lately that she hadn't managed to pick out something suitable in a hurry.
Luckily, she had some precious jewelry safely stored in her room's safe, which she had acquired at auctions. She decided to temporarily give one of them to her daughter and choose something more thoughtful that Leng Ning liked once the day's events were over.
Mr. Leng was also quite busy. Even on weekends, he couldn't spare time, as he had to attend the opening of an old friend's gallery. After breakfast, he left the house.
