131: Birthday Party
After Han Wen and Yao Nulang spent a few days together, it was time for Han Qingyan's 49th birthday.
When Han Qingyan got off work in the evening, she was truly touched when Han Wen suddenly appeared and said he wanted to celebrate her 50th birthday early.
After Han Wen drove her to the Waldorf Hutong Courtyard Hotel, Han Qingyan was deeply moved once again when she saw the guests from all sides in the hall and her old friends from her hometown who had been sent to the countryside for many years.
Han Wen has grown up and knows how to care for his mother. All his years of hard work have finally paid off, and Han Qingyan has no regrets.
Thanks to thorough preparation, the birthday party went very smoothly that evening. Everyone enjoyed fine wine and delicious food while listening to music.
First up on stage was the prince of love songs, Mao Ning, who sang "The Sound of Waves Remains the Same," a song that became a hit this year. He then sang two other very beautiful songs.
Next up on stage was Yang Tianmei, the queen of sweet songs. She also sang several popular hits that were popular all over the country, including "I Don't Want to Say", "The Wind Carries Love and the Water Carries Smiles", and "Gently Tell You".
As the guests were filled with enthusiasm, the members of the Beyond band made a grand entrance and began to sing their classic song "Really Love You," which they dedicated to their mothers.
"A pair of hands beyond compare, conveying warmth that is always there behind you."
Even though it's nagging, I've always been attentive; I feel so guilty for not appreciating it.
She didn't appreciate the music scales, but her mother's love never wavered.
I will overcome my inner struggle and repay my parents' kindness in the end.
The spring breeze and gentle rain warm my heart, a silent gift of care.
It was your warm gaze that taught me to look resolutely ahead, reminding me that I should not give up when I fall.
There is no way to repay the kindness of parents; their love is boundless and limitless.
Please allow me to say:
I really love you...
I really love you...
Oh oh oh…
These days, even in Beijing, there are quite a few people who have never heard of Cantonese songs. Therefore, they cannot understand the lyrics.
However, the beautiful melody, the sincere emotions, and the moving voice all touched people's hearts and moved them deeply.
Beyond's fame wasn't built on hype, but rather through Huang Jiaju's talent and skill, which he earned by singing song after song.
That's why Han Wen liked this band so much, and why he felt so resentful. Especially after he remembered what happened to Huang Jiaju, he finally couldn't help but intervene.
According to the contract, in addition to performing their most important song "Really Love You" tonight, they will also perform "Haikou Sky," which was just released this year, and several other representative works.
Those who attended the banquet today were surprised by Han Wen's extravagant spending. He booked such a fine hotel, ordered such delicious food and drinks, and even invited the "golden couple" and a rock band from Zijing City. He was truly incredibly generous.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, it was time for the final part: cutting the cake. When the waiter pushed out the enormous cake on a trolley, everyone was once again stunned.
Han Qingyan wiped away her tears while laughing heartily.
Accompanied by Hanwen, she walked to the cake, closed her eyes to make a wish, and then blew out the candles.
Finally, I took the cake knife from the waiter and happily cut the cake for the guests who had arrived that evening.
At this moment, Yang Tianmei and Mao Ning went on stage again and began to sing "Birthday Song".
After the song ended, the two of them sang "Happy Birthday" together. Yang Tianmei sang in Chinese and Mao Ning sang in English. The two of them worked together perfectly, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
As everyone ate cake and sang "Happy Birthday" together, Hanwen whispered to his mother, "Mom, let me introduce you to a few people."
"Okay." Han Qingyan nodded. She was so happy and excited tonight that she was completely obedient to her son.
"Mom, let me introduce Ning's older brother and Mother to you first. Ning's older brother is named Zhou Yu, and he is the boss of Yinshan Guard."
Ning's mother's name is Xia Shuyun, and she is a law professor at a university. Han Wen led his mother along, reminding her as they walked, "But you only need to get to know them and exchange a few words with them."
Don't mention Sister Ning, and especially don't mention what happened between me and Sister Ning. Aunt Xia has a very bad impression of me because of what happened with Sister Ning.
However, she doesn't know that I'm Ning's boyfriend; she's always treated me as someone with the same name. So, please don't let it slip.
"Wenwen, you said someone looked down on you back then, was it her?" Han Qingyan asked.
"Mom, now is not the time to discuss this. I feel that the bond between me and Sister Ning is still there, and it hasn't been broken yet."
"In the future, she might be your in-law, my mother-in-law, do you know that?" Han Wen instructed, "Mom, calm down, be patient. For my sake, for Ning-jie's sake, you must be patient."
"Fine, I'll endure it." Han Qingyan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, her wish just now was to have a grandson this year.
Although Zhou Ning's whereabouts are unknown, she has not forgotten this daughter-in-law whom she once thought highly of.
For her son and Zhou Ning, she endured it this time.
Han Qingyan followed her son and first went to see Xia Shuyun. After exchanging a few polite words, they went to see Zhou Yu.
This wasn't the first time Zhou Yu had met Han Qingyan; he knew her identity and spoke to her briefly as a junior.
Then, Han Wen took his mother directly to Teacher Yu.
Teacher Yu was eating cake when she suddenly saw Han Wen and his mother, and was greatly surprised. She turned around and tried to run away, almost tripping and falling.
"Teacher Yu, wait a moment," Han Wen called out.
Left with no other option, Teacher Yu stopped, turned to look at Han Wen and his mother, and feigned ignorance: "Han Wen, did you need something from me?"
"What, you were trying to run away just now?" Han Wen saw through the other's pretense at a glance: "No, I don't eat people, why did you run away when you saw me?"
Left with no other option, Ms. Yu had to bite the bullet and greet him: "Mr. Han, hello, I'm Han Wen's teacher. Thank you for inviting me to your birthday party, and happy birthday!"
"You're Hanwen's teacher, what are you teaching him?" Han Qingyan asked curiously. "After Hanwen grew up, he wasn't as close to me anymore. He never tells me what he does."
"If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known he had found a tutor and was learning something outside."
"Ah, mainly screenwriting-related things. I can't really teach him anything else," Teacher Yu replied with a smile.
This was an excuse that Han Wen and she had agreed upon beforehand, mainly to deceive Bai Feifei and Yao Nulang.
If these two women, both actresses, found out what I was doing, I would easily be laughed at by them.
It's amazing that he ended up fooling his own mother.
If Mom finds out she's been scammed, Teacher Yu's life will probably be tough.
"Xiao Yu, you're too modest," Han Qingyan said with a smile. "In the future, I hope you can teach Han Wen more and help him learn more about screenwriting."
"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will do my best." Teacher Yu nodded quickly.
There was no way around it; she could always act like a teacher in front of Han Wen, but she was sweating buckets in front of Han Qingyan.
