As soon as she entered the door, Wen Yan almost thought she was in the wrong place.
The living room is very dark.
But it's amazing that wherever her feet step on, she will leave a radiant footprint.
It was obvious that the carpets in the home had been carefully replaced.
Every step you take, there seem to be countless diamonds shining under your feet.
At this moment, Wen Yan felt as if she was stepping on the starry sky.
And every time she took another step forward, the living room became brighter than before.
Through this dim light, Wen Yan found that the entire living room layout seemed to have been changed.
And around her, she hasn't seen anyone except herself.
"Mom? Dad? Eldest brother? Second brother, fourth brother? Are you all hiding? I already know this is the birthday surprise you prepared for me. Turn on the lights!"
As soon as Wen Yan finished speaking, a neat "Happy Birthday" sounded in the living room, and the lights above the head also turned on.
Only then did Wen Yan realize that the entire living room was decorated in a gentle and dreamy pink-purple color, which was her favorite color recently.
"So beautiful! So dreamy!!!"
Looking at the family in front of her, Wen Yan was moved again.
It's her birthday today, but she's already been touched twice.
"Thank you! I feel like I have entered a castle, and there are lights under my feet. How did you do this?"
As Wen Yan said this, she happily threw herself at Su Yang: "Mom, you are so kind. I like this surprise so much."
Su Yang smiled and held Wen Yan in her arms: "As long as you like it, it means we didn't arrange it for nothing. But I can't explain the principle of the light under your feet. If you are really interested, I'll ask you later. Brother, go, he asked people to do this."
"Wow, thank you, brother!"
Wen Yan was really happy today. She walked up and gave Shen Jingxiu a big hug.
Shen Jingxiu didn't expect that Wen Yan would suddenly hug him, and he didn't know what to do with his hands for a moment.
He was stunned for a second before he said: "Happy birthday."
"I'm very happy! Thank you, brother!"
But just when he reached out to hug Wen Yan back, Shen Jingchuan, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke.
"Hey, do you see those flowers? I personally moved them from the car. Going back and forth almost ruined a pair of my shoes."
"Really? Then you are so awesome. Your shoes are made of paper!" Wen Yan teased Shen Jingchuan and threw herself into Shen Jingchuan's arms.
Without any hesitation, Shen Jingchuan opened his arms and took Wen Yan into his arms.
He patted Wen Yan on the back familiarly twice: "I went to see your movie. Although it's not my favorite subject, you acted very well, but you were a bit too pathetic. Promise me, I won't act in it next time." Is it okay to play this kind of character? It makes me feel so sad to watch!"
Wen Yan snorted: "I just want to make you, the audience, feel distressed! This is what an actor is good at."
"Okay, okay, you're the best, right? Beat the person next to you and throw him away for a hundred and eighty blocks."
Shen Jinghe on the side: "..." Did he provoke someone? "Wen Yan, come here, come to me."
"No!" Shen Jingchuan refused to let him go, "Why go there? You're not a hot potato."
Wen Yan was speechless: "...You are so naive, fourth brother. But today I want to get both the rain and the dew. It's not easy to hug the second brother! The queue has reached outer space!"
After saying that, Wen Yan ran away from Shen Jingchuan. When she hugged Shen Jinghe, Wen Yan deliberately made faces at Shen Jingchuan.
"Hmm~ Second brother smells so good, he's really a hotpot."
"Tch! I think you just told me on purpose, how fragrant can it be? Wash your hands quickly, it's time to get ready to eat."
"No hurry, no rush!" Wen Yan quickly took out her mobile phone, "I haven't taken a photo yet, let me take a photo first."
"You are still needed. Mom has already arranged for a photographer. What do you think Mrs. Zhang is holding in her hand?"
"That doesn't matter. What Sister Zhang took was taken by Sister Zhang, and what I took was taken by me."
But Wen Yan didn't waste too much time. After taking a few photos, she immediately went upstairs.
"You guys go sit down first, I'm going upstairs to change into a beautiful dress."
She said she was going to change clothes, but Wen Yan actually had other plans.
When she went downstairs, she brought two bags down, but she deliberately didn't let her family see them. Instead, she put them somewhere outside the restaurant and hid them.
As soon as they sat down, Su Yang explained a few words to Wen Yan: "I asked your third brother two days in advance, thinking that today is your birthday and asking him to come home to get together, but he is still here You can't leave from other provinces. If you were here, our family would be all together today."
"I know Mom, I received a message from my third brother when I just walked in. He wished me a happy birthday and told me to pay attention to the express delivery recently. Although he didn't say it clearly, I guess it must be the birthday gift he sent to me. Gift."
"That's good, he still has you as his sister in his heart. Come on, let's get started and let your father say a few words first."
Shen Yuan speaks first on important occasions. This is the tradition of the Shen family.
Mrs. Zhang had already poured red wine for everyone.
Shen Yuan raised his glass with a smile on his face: "Today is Yan Yan's birthday, so with this glass, I wish Yan Yan to have this day every year and have this day every year. I hope that our family can be reunited every year on your birthday in the future."
This is a beautiful vision. After Shen Yuan's words fell, everyone raised their glasses.
But at this moment, Wen Yan's cell phone placed aside suddenly rang.
If this was a call from an ordinary person, Wen Yan would click it immediately, and then take the time to send a message to explain to the other person that she was busy.
But Wen Yan couldn't hang up the phone, and she was even afraid that she would miss the call if she was late for a second.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry I have to take a very, very important call. Thank you Dad for your blessing."
After saying that, Wen Yan drank the red wine in her glass in one sip, then quickly stood up and left the table with her cell phone in hand.
Everyone present except Shen Jingchuan was curious about this call.
Wen Yan actually used two 'very' words in a row just now... So who made this call?
Is it really that important? Is it more important than the whole family getting together to celebrate her birthday?
And the answer to this question is ‘yes’
Su Yan also turned around and looked outside the restaurant: "Why did this child run so fast? I don't know who called her. I think she has lost her soul. She is not afraid of the cold even if she wears such a thin skirt and goes out." .”
The rest of the family didn't know who the person who called was, but Shen Jingchuan, who was sitting next to Wen Yan, saw it.
The name on the caller ID was Qin Yulong, that is, Shen Zhirou.
-
"Hey! Yulong" Wen Yan didn't speak until she walked out of the door and came outside. Since Qin Yulong's meaning was not yet certain, Wen Yan easily did not dare to make this call in front of Su Yang and Shen Yuan, and she let it slip by herself.
"I thought your phone number was no longer in use. I have been trying to contact you during this period, but no one answered your phone."
Qin Yulong's voice soon sounded from the other side.
Her voice sounded a little tired: "I'm sorry, I've been very busy during this time because my dad is sick and I'm taking care of him in the hospital, so I haven't been able to contact the outside world. My dad and I just came back from the hospital today , I saw your missed call, so I called you back."
"So that's it. How is your father?" Wen Yan also thought that Qin Yulong might have lost contact because something happened at home. It turned out that her father was really sick.
Qin Yulong said 'hmm': "Thank you for your concern. My father has passed the critical period. I have seen the black material about me on the Internet, but I didn't expect that the conflict between me and Fu Yiqing would involve you. I also saw the blog post pinned to the top of your social circle, thank you for speaking up for me.”
"You're welcome! What I said is the truth."
After saying this, the two fell into a brief silence.
Because Qin Yulong is a person who doesn't talk much. Although Wen Yan is a mobile atmosphere group, her father has just returned from the hospital after a dangerous period. Wen Yan is really embarrassed to say what she wants to say next. She is afraid of offending him. I feel disgusted and do bad things with good intentions.
After a few seconds, Qin Yulong spoke first.
"You have already called the police, right? How is the progress now? Have you followed up?"
"Oh, yes. But I have handed it over to the lawyer. I am not in contact with Fu Yiqing myself."
"Okay, you really should do this. Then you don't have to worry about the next thing."
"Ah."
"By the way, I saw on the Internet that your movie premiered successfully. Congratulations."
"Thank you!" Wen Yan laughed sincerely, "I heard your voice sounding very tired. For example, I felt that you must be very busy and tired these days, but I didn't expect to receive your blessing. I’m quite happy.”
"Your first movie in the industry was a hit. This is indeed a happy thing. Also, I wish you a happy birthday."
Wen Yan was a little surprised: "You still know that today is my birthday?"
"Yes, when I searched for your name on the Internet, the first place on the list was today's movie road show. I saw you cutting the cake."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. I feel very guilty for causing you trouble. Fu Yiqing must have made you feel very uncomfortable these past few days. Birthdays are all about receiving gifts, and I will give you a gift later."
"No!" Wen Yan immediately refused, "Getting your blessing is actually enough. No gift is needed."
"Yes, Fu Yiqing should pay the price for her actions."
"Oh~ you said this..." Wen Yan understood that Qin Yulong meant to fight back against Fu Yiqing.
It turns out that the birthday gift she just mentioned was not a birthday gift in the traditional sense.
"Okay. Then I'll hang up first. You'll see the results online. My dad is calling me."
"Okay, let's keep in touch, and be sure to tell me if this number is no longer in use."
"rest assured."
Qin Yulong hung up the phone quickly.
Wen Yan was a little disappointed that she wasn't asked what she wanted to ask.
Su Yang, who was waiting at the door with his coat because he was worried that she would be cold, saw Wen Yan's expression in his eyes.
She knew that Wen Yan went outside to answer the phone because she didn't want her family to hear it, so she waited until Wen Yan ended the call before going forward and putting clothes on her.
"You go out dressed like this on such a cold day. You don't care about your body at all."
"Hehe," Wen Yan smiled flatteringly at Su Yang, "That's the kind of personality I have. I'm frizzy. If I could do everything in an orderly manner like my elder brother, then I wouldn't be me."
While talking, the two of them had returned to the restaurant.
After starting to eat, the more Su Yang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Su Yang asked abruptly: "Yan Yan, are you dating without telling us?"
"Ah?" Wen Yan was confused by the question, "How is that possible? Mom, you are talking about the phone call just now. Mom, no, really not. Mom, look up and look at my three brothers.
"Look at which one of them is not the best among them. Let's put aside the quality first and let's talk about appearance. There are so many handsome guys in the entertainment industry and I haven't seen a few who are more handsome than them.
"With these beautiful brothers in front of me, how can other crooked melons and jujubes easily catch my eye. I must be one of the most difficult people to fall in love with in this world! Because my eyes have never been opened from the moment I came to this home. It is destined to grow to the ceiling!
"Tsk, it's all my parents' fault, they have such good genes! Oh, it's hard. It's hard to fall in love, it's hard to reach the sky."
Everyone: "..." Should I praise her for flattering her well, or should I praise her for flattering her well?
We patted the whole family and made everyone feel comfortable!
But Shen Yuan spoke up. He was in a good mood today and even started to take the initiative to make connections.
"This is indeed a problem. Jing Xiu, I remember that you have a very good relationship with that boy from the Ji family. Isn't it time for him to return to China? How about introducing him to Yan Yan some other time?"
Shen Jingxiu paused slightly while picking up the food.
Didn't they discuss it once before? If he remembered correctly, Wen Yan said that she didn't want to fall in love now.
He frowned lightly: "I've been busy lately. I haven't contacted him for a long time, but I heard him say before that he doesn't seem to have any plans to return to China recently."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice.
You didn't need to read it to know that it was a message from someone named Ji, because the two were still communicating before the meal.
But after hearing what Shen Jingxiu said, Shen Yuan had given up on being a matchmaker: "In this case, forget it. It's useless if the others are not in the country."
Wen Yan: "Yes, yes, let's forget it. I have been serious about my work recently, and I want to continue to move forward. I don't have time to fall in love."
The atmosphere at the table soon became lively and warm.
After cutting the cake, it was time to open the gifts.
Wen Yan liked every gift everyone gave her, and they were all valuable without exception.
Wen Yan suddenly stood up after thanking everyone one by one.
"Dear parents, and several brothers, I am the one who accepts gifts from you every time. In fact, I feel a little embarrassed. So, taking advantage of today, a good day for reunion, I will also prepare something for you all. I got a gift! Although it’s not as valuable as what you prepared, I hope you won’t dislike it!”
