Chapter 142 Birthday Banquet
Chapter 142 Birthday Banquet
"This is A-Ming, the smartest guy under my command. He is also very skilled and has been with me all these years."
Master Du patted Ah Ming on the shoulder, then turned to Jiang Shiyuan and said, "Foster father thinks that the world is getting more and more chaotic now, and you should have someone around you who can help you."
"A Ming will follow you from now on and serve as your bodyguard. He can also help you manage the affairs of Ruyuan Hall."
"Godfather, I feel so embarrassed..." Jiang Shiyuan was flattered when he heard that.
She knew that everyone around Mr. Du was an elite, and the fact that he was praised so highly by him showed that Amin was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Girl, why are you being so polite to your godfather!" Master Du smiled heartily and pushed A Ming forward.
"A Ming, from now on you will follow Miss Yuan, protect her well, and assist her, understand?"
"Yes! Miss Yuan, you will be my master from now on. I will protect you and be loyal to you until my death!"
Amin first placed the gift on the coffee table beside him, then saluted with his fists clasped together, his tone firm and powerful, his eyes revealing a shrewd and capable look.
Mr. Du nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. A Ming then walked very consciously behind Jiang Shiyuan, standing upright with his pen.
Seeing this, Chen Jing'an couldn't help but twitch his lips, and secretly complained: "Will this man named Ah Ming spend more time with Ah Yuan than I do in the future?"
Mr. Du picked up an exquisite small brocade box from the top of the pile of gifts on the coffee table and handed it to Jiang Shiyuan.
"Girl, open it and see if you like it?"
Jiang Shiyuan took the brocade box and opened it gently. The next second, she was stunned.
"This... this is..." There was a title deed in the brocade box. It was the title deed of the International Apartment where she lived now!
Master Du rubbed the top of her head and smiled lovingly, "Happy birthday, little girl!"
"The house you rented in the International Apartments will completely belong to you from now on!"
"Godfather..." Jiang Shiyuan's eyes instantly turned red, his nose felt sore, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
How could she deserve such great love from her adoptive father!
"Hey, you can't shed tears on such a happy day!" Grandpa Du smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Come, come, your grandmother and your brothers and sisters-in-law have prepared birthday gifts for you, come and take a look!"
Jiang Shiyuan nodded and opened the pile of gifts under the brocade box.
The gift from my grandmother was an exquisite jade ruyi ornament, which symbolizes good luck and fortune.
The gift given by my eldest brother was a painting by a famous artist, implying a bright future.
The gift from my sister-in-law was a set of pearl jewelry, which symbolizes elegance and nobility.
The second brother gave a guqin, which means it is hard to find a soulmate.
The second sister-in-law gave a piece of fine silk, which symbolized a bright future.
Jiang Shiyuan was so overwhelmed with gifts today that she immediately asked Feng Ma to carefully put the gifts aside.
Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Chen Xiangyun smiled and said, "Dear guests, please move to the restaurant. Let's eat and chat!"
In the restaurant, the long Huanghuali dining table has been replaced with a large revolving round table that can accommodate twenty people.
It was covered with a snow-white tablecloth and laid with exquisite tableware and bright flowers.
Under the illumination of the crystal chandelier, the whole restaurant looks even more luxurious and grand, creating a birthday atmosphere.
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly wanted to take out his mobile phone, take a photo and post it to his Moments.
"Wow, this is so sumptuous!" Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the table full of dishes.
Today's lunch is still prepared by Chef Liang, who was invited from Jinghua Restaurant.
He cooked authentic Cantonese cuisine, and the dishes were even more sumptuous than the family dinner in March.
Crispy pigeon, steamed grouper, blanched prawns, braised pork with abalone, barbecued pork with honey, shark fin rice... each dish is mouth-watering with its color, aroma and taste.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and said, "Come on, everyone, pick up your chopsticks and taste Master Liang's cooking!"
Then everyone raised their glasses and gave Jiang Shiyuan their sincere birthday wishes.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoyuan. I wish you happiness forever!"
"Ms. Jiang, happy birthday. I wish your career will flourish!"
"Second Miss, happy birthday, I wish you eternal youth!"
……
Jiang Shiyuan also raised his glass and responded sincerely: "Thank you everyone, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday today, I am really, really happy!"
"I have received your blessings and gifts. Thank you all again. I toast to everyone!"
Jiang Shiyuan wore a golden haute couture dress today, which set off her skin as white as snow and made her look bright and beautiful, like a princess of European royal family.
She drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and her every move showed her elegance and nobility.
There was constant laughter and joy as the drinks flowed and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Then, a three-layered large cream fruit cake was pushed up by Feng Ma and A Ming.
Amid the applause of the crowd, Jiang Shiyuan blew out the candles and made a sincere wish.
I hope my father and brother are safe and sound even if they go to the battlefield.
Second, I hope that all my relatives and friends will be in good health and stay with me until the end.
Third, I hope that my planning during this period can play a real role in the war situation and accelerate the victory of the War of Resistance.
After three rounds of drinks, Fang Lansheng stood up and said with a smile: "To celebrate Miss Jiang's 22nd birthday, Fang will perform a piece of "Mu Guiying Takes Command" for you to liven up the atmosphere!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted with warm applause and cheers from the crowd.
Fang Lansheng, dressed in a royal blue silk gown, walked to the center of the restaurant calmly, cleared his throat, and suddenly spoke:
“The loud sound of golden drums and painted horns was heard fiercely, which aroused my ambition to conquer the sky.
I remember the time when Peach Blossom Horse was so majestic, and the enemy’s blood splattered on her pomegranate skirt.
We should fulfill our duties while we are alive. How can we allow an inch of land to belong to others?
The foreign king and the clown are nothing to worry about. I can block a million soldiers with just one sword!
If I don’t take command, who will take command? If I don’t lead the troops, who will lead them?
Tell the servant to help me straighten my military uniform and bring me my shiny silver armor and golden helmet."
Fang Lansheng's voice is clear and high-pitched, and her pronunciation is clear and melodious. She perfectly interprets Mu Guiying's heroic spirit and her lofty spirit of a woman who is as good as any man.
After singing the song, the whole hall cheered.
"Great!" Master Du couldn't help but applaud, "Boss Fang's voice is truly a gift from heaven! It makes my blood boil!"
Chen Qingyan stood up excitedly and applauded enthusiastically, "Yes, Boss Fang's singing skills are really superb. It gives me goose bumps!"
"I wish I could turn into Mu Guiying right now and go into battle to kill the Japanese devils!"
Fang Lansheng bowed to everyone, sat back at the table, and said modestly: "Thank you for your praise!"
"My singing skills are still far from being as good as Master's!"
Jiang Shiyuan was also inspired by what he heard, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master Mei and Boss Fang are truly noble. Only with a deep patriotic heart can they write such inspiring opera works!"
"The foreign king and clown are not worth mentioning. How can an inch of land belong to others?"
"The Japanese pirates are trampling on our land wantonly. As the children of China, we absolutely cannot tolerate this!"
