It was Han Dongsheng's birthday, and everyone gathered together.
Everyone is very busy these days, and there aren't many days when we can get together, but since it's Han Dongsheng's birthday, we naturally have to make a big fuss about it.
The birthday party was held at Xiao Cui's hot pot restaurant.
Everyone had to work during the day, so the birthday dinner was scheduled for the evening.
Zhao Xiaolan was busy from noon onwards. She didn't even have time to pick up her child in the evening; Lin Ye picked him up instead.
At six o'clock, the kitchen was busy preparing food.
Wei Shufen arrived early, abandoning her usual arrogance and running around helping out.
Lin Xiaocui couldn't stand it any longer and said with a smile:
"Auntie, please don't do it. It's all oily. Don't get your clothes dirty."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just bored anyway." She said in a gentle tone, as if she had become a different person.
Lin Xiaocui moved closer to Han Lei and gestured with her lips:
What's wrong with your mom?
"Who knows? I haven't been home much lately, so I don't know what she's up to. Don't worry, if it's about setting me up with someone, I'll definitely refuse."
Han Lei did not forget to express his decision.
Lin Xiaocui nudged him with her elbow: "Hmph, you make it sound like I can't accept it at all. Why don't you go on a blind date? I'll dump you in a heartbeat."
As she spoke, she made a kicking motion.
Han Lei clasped his hands in a pleading gesture: "Grandma, spare my life, I wouldn't dare."
"So you were just too scared?" Lin Xiaocui raised an eyebrow...
Just as the two were playfully fighting, Han Tao, whom they rarely saw, also came over.
When he arrived, almost everyone was there.
The private room was packed with people, and some of the dishes had already been served.
Wei Shufen glanced at Han Tao with a shifty look, wanting to ask him whether he and Yao Na had actually had a physical relationship.
Her feelings are very complicated right now.
She had originally hoped that her son would have a relationship with her, but once Yao Na's shady identity was exposed, she wished that her son had never met Yao Na.
If the photos were leaked, that powerful person would probably break Han Tao's legs!
Han Tao was also surprised that when his mother saw him today, she didn't pester him like a leech, forcing him to marry Yao Na.
The mother and son awkwardly argued for a while. Remembering the main purpose of her visit, Wei Shufen glanced around and asked:
"Why hasn't Wanqing arrived yet?"
It's like the sun has risen in the west! She actually thought of asking that!
Lin Ye listened and politely told her that Lu Wanqing had something to do at the factory and would be a little late.
"It's alright, she's a very busy person, it's only natural that she's a little late," she said gently.
Everyone looked at her like she was a monster, wondering to themselves, "Has this person changed her personality today?"
Han Dongfeng, with a hint of suspicion, tugged at her and asked, "You've been acting strange lately. Have you done something wrong?"
Wei Shufen gently shook off his hand, her voice slightly stuttering: "No, we're family, we should get along well."
Grandma Han glanced at her, said nothing, and continued playing with the three children.
After a while, Lu Wanqing arrived, and the banquet began.
Wei Shufen was extremely attentive to her throughout the entire process.
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was her birthday today!
Lu Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable and changed the subject:
"Mom, it's Uncle's birthday, what gift did you prepare?"
She knew that Elaine Chao had been preparing some gifts for a long time.
Elaine Chao said somewhat shyly, "It's nothing."
Oh dear, my daughter-in-law is so naughty! How could she talk about the gift she prepared in front of so many people?
But since Grandma Han also egged her on, she had no choice but to say that she had prepared a tie.
Giving ties or belts as gifts indicates a close relationship.
Taking this opportunity, Han Dongsheng decided not to hide their relationship any longer. He stood up with his wine glass in hand, made a heartfelt confession to Zhao Xiaolan, and announced that the two of them would get married as soon as possible.
Lin Ye was the first to pick up his glass and stand up, clinking it against his.
"Congratulations, I'm relieved to have my mother with you."
With Lu Wanqing's explicit and implicit hints, he had long since learned about his relationship with his mother and gradually accepted it.
During the time his mother spent with him, her eyes shone, and she was in a much better state overall.
The only thing I'm a little worried about is that I heard he had a wife before and had a daughter. If she comes looking for him again and Han Dongsheng rekindles his old flame, it will be troublesome.
But Elaine Chao had already accepted it, so he couldn't say anything more.
Lin Ye's son agreed, and everyone else had no objections either. They all raised their glasses and stood up to offer their blessings to the couple.
Seeing everyone clinking glasses, Miaomiao stood up, holding her soda, and asked in her soft, sweet voice:
"Grandma is getting married to my second grandpa, so does that mean I can just call him grandpa from now on?"
She always felt that calling him "Second Grandfather" was a bit silly.
Han Dongsheng chuckled: "That's right, from now on you'll be my legitimate granddaughter."
Lu Wanqing raised her glass, took a sip, and obediently called out, "Dad."
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of returning to her ancestral roots.
"Dad, thank you for helping me this time." She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
She had heard that Han Dongsheng was always impartial and never engaged in the usual practices of inviting guests or giving gifts, so she never expected him to ask for a favor because of her.
Han Dongsheng was also very excited. If his daughter could be found, she would be about this age by now.
In any case, from then on, he treated Lu Wanqing like his own daughter.
The meal was filled with laughter and tears; the whole family together was a lively and joyful occasion.
Wei Shufen, however, was in a bit of a dilemma.
After finally finishing the meal, the table was cleared away and replaced with fruit and pastries. Everyone gathered around and chatted. She quickly and quietly asked Lu Wanqing if she had time to talk to her alone.
"Auntie, let's talk here. We're all family," Lu Wanqing said casually while eating fruit.
I noticed something was off about her a while ago, but I didn't want to call her out on it.
"Women's private matters are not something you can talk about in front of so many people. Why don't you come out with me for a bit?"
Wei Shufen pulled her outside.
She had thought about the extortion issue and what to do. The photos absolutely could not be leaked, and she would have no choice but to obediently hand over the money.
But 100,000 yuan is not just 10 yuan; it's not something you can easily come up with.
After looking through everyone in the family, only Lu Wanqing had this ability.
"Wanqing, I have an urgent matter and need money urgently. Could you lend me 100,000 yuan?" Wei Shufen shamelessly asked from a secluded corner.
Lu Wanqing sneered inwardly. Sure enough, only something like this could make a person put aside their arrogance!
"Auntie, as you know, I recently bought a factory, which was a huge investment. All the money has been spent, and I still have to pay interest every month. I really don't have any money left!"
Lu Wanqing didn't want to be taken advantage of; Wei Shufen didn't earn money herself, so how could she possibly pay her back?
Why are you being so secretive? I wonder what kind of bad thing you're up to!
Unexpectedly, Wei Shufen suddenly knelt down before her, tears and snot streaming down her face, and told her what had happened.
