Bai Siyan and Bai Siting are twin sisters, but they are quite different in appearance and personality.

One is quiet and shy, the other is lively and cheerful.

Taking Xiao Wu's advice into consideration, Shu Ran chose two gemstone brooches as her birthday gift.

One is a gentle blue, and the other is a passionate red.

It is also surrounded by small diamonds, which make the gemstone even more dazzling, like stars surrounding the moon.

Xiaowu made all of these herself a few days ago, and she also bought loose stones and polished and processed them herself.

Xiao Wu packed it up and handed it to Shu Huwen. She was going to bring Xiao Wen to the birthday party.

On the day the results came out, Shu Ran had someone go to the academy to check the list and also received her admission notice.

It was quite a ceremony, and unsurprisingly, Shu Ran was successfully admitted to the school.

I just need to wait until September when school starts to go back to school.

On the day of her birthday party, Shu Ran changed into a light green Chinese-style dress. It wasn't overly elaborate, but it still showed how much she valued it.

On her wrist was a mutton fat jade bracelet, which, under the sunlight, made Shu Ran's skin appear as smooth as jade.

Uncle Feng's prepared snacks had already been delivered to the Bai family next door.

Arriving next door as promised, Shu Ran handed over the gift she was carrying: "Happy Birthday!"

Bai Siyan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and accepted the gift with both hands: "Thank you, please come in. Let Tingting accompany you inside. I'll wait for someone at the door."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, then I'll leave it to Tingting."

Shu Ran didn't refuse. Since arriving in Hong Kong, she had been either studying or lazing around at home. Apart from the Bai and Luo families next door, she really didn't know anyone.

"No trouble at all! Come on, I'll take you inside to meet the people!"

Bai Siting took Shu Ran's arm and led her inside. The birthday party was being held in the garden, where curtains had been set up to block out the sun, and containers filled with ice were placed around the room to dispel the heat under the scorching sun.

They are all smart people; they won't easily offend someone if they don't know their background, let alone someone whose origins can't be traced.

Shu Ran did not encounter the typical snobbish or condescending behavior often found in novels.

Bai Siting introduced them one by one, and everyone greeted each other politely, introducing themselves and each other.

“This is Gouzi. Didn’t you go to Jinren Academy? He’s studying there too. If any fools come up to you, just look for him.”

After introducing Shu Ran, Bai Siting turned to look at the person called "Gouzi".

"Gouzi, take care of Ranran. If she gets bullied on your turf, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Miss Bai, could you please not call me that?" Gou Zixun said with a bitter face, hating his hand for the ten thousandth and first time for drawing such a name.

The handsome young man extended his hand and greeted Shu Ran: "Hello, Ranran, my name is Gou Zixun, I'm Tingting's cousin, and my mother is Tingting's aunt. Just call me Zixun, don't listen to Tingting, calling me Gou Zi is too impolite."

The Bai and Gou families are related by marriage, so their relationship is naturally closer.

Shu Ran smiled and extended her hand to shake his: "Hello, my name is Shu Ran. It's a very nice name! Zixun."

The full name does sound nice, as long as the last character isn't omitted.

"Good taste!"

Gou Zixun immediately became even more enthusiastic, "Ranran, just for saying that, I'll protect you at Jinren Academy. You can do whatever you want without any problems!"

Gou Zixun certainly has the confidence to do so, not to mention how much support his family has provided to Jinren Academy over the years.

Speaking for himself, he is among the top people at Jinren Academy, someone whom no one dares to offend easily.

Shu Ran also saw a girl named Qi Jing from an exam room at Jinren Academy.

I've seen you before!

Qi Jing smiled, and small dimples appeared on her face.

The introduction was interrupted, but Bai Siting wasn't annoyed. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I know, Jinren Academy, right?"

"Yes, we met during the exam." Confirming Bai Siting's guess, Shu Ran extended her hand and said, "I noticed you that day too. Hello, future classmate! My name is Shu Ran."

"Hello, my name is Qi Jing."

The birthday party was for the two Bai sisters. As more and more guests arrived, Shu Ran felt embarrassed to take up too much of Bai Siting's time.

"Can you do it alone?"

Bai Siting wasn't entirely at ease, since she was the one who brought the person in, and she felt she had to take full responsibility for it.

"I'm here, aren't I? Cousin, you can go without worry!"

Gou Zixun brought over two durian mille-feuille dishes and handed one to Shu Ran.

"Try it, this is super delicious!" Turning to Bai Siting, who hadn't left yet, she said, "By the way, where did you find this chef? He's just the right fit for my taste."

Bai Siting rolled her eyes at Gou Zixun: "Far away, yet right in front of you! Alright, take good care of Ranran for me, I'm going to help my sister."

After scooping a spoonful of mille-feuille and putting it in her mouth, Shu Ran was once again amazed by the greatness of the Asset Realization APP, with its delicate texture and rich durian flavor!

"Yours?" Gou Zixun was already on his second piece, and after asking around, he couldn't find anyone who appreciated his taste.

"Yes, you like it? I'll have my Uncle Feng make it for you again later."

When did durians start to be imported on a large scale? Shu Ran wasn't quite sure, so she shook her head to stop thinking about it. Anyway, she had already found a way to buy durians abroad, and she could just say they were air-freighted over.

As luck would have it, she planted them on her farm as well.

"What is this? Why does it smell pungent but taste sweet?"

"This is a durian mille-feuille. The filling inside is made from a fruit from Malaysia or Thailand called durian."

After a brief introduction, Shu Ran continued, "If you want to eat durian, you can have someone come to my house to get it later. It seems that it's not sold in the market here right now."

I haven't seen Shu Ran selling it. Maybe it's not the right season? Or maybe it's difficult to transport and store?

We sent people to investigate the market here, especially the vegetables and fruits, but we didn't find any durian.

But Shu Ran really loved to eat it, so she sent someone abroad to make the purchasing channels public.

Although it's a bit extravagant, it's just sitting there anyway, so I might as well move some things over!

Anyway, the Asset Realization app covered all the maintenance and airfare costs for her private jet, and even paid a hundred years' worth of fees upfront.

She won't even live past a hundred! The machine is still there even after the person is gone!

Since it's an app product, the quality is generally reliable. A hundred years is too long, and Shu Ran isn't entirely sure, but it should last for several decades without any problems.

While she's still alive, let's use her as much as possible!

Unaware that it was air-freighted, Gou Zixun calmly agreed: "Okay, thank you Ranran, then I won't be polite!"

The birthday party went very well, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Shu Ran has now officially entered the social circle of the younger generation at the top of the mountain.
