Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 428 30th Birthday

Liu Yan and Hu Jing were standing outside the door.

Liu Yan was wearing a beige trench coat and carrying two bags in her hands.

Hu Jing stood next to her, wearing a navy blue scarf and holding an exquisitely packaged gift box.

"Happy birthday."

Liu Yan smiled and stuffed the bag into Fu Yibai's hand, then turned and changed into slippers before going inside.

Hu Jing followed her in, placed the gift box on the cabinet in the entryway, and then tiptoed to kiss Fu Yibai on the cheek.

The three of them had just sat down in the living room when the doorbell rang again.

Zeng Li and Qin Lan stood outside the door.

Zeng Li wore a light gray wool coat and her hair was tied in a low ponytail.

Qin Lan stood next to her, wearing a navy blue long trench coat and carrying a gift box in her hand.

There's a traffic jam on the road.

Zeng Li changed into slippers and came in, kissed Fu Yibai on the cheek, and then walked straight to the kitchen.

"What's wrong? I smell something delicious."

"Why are you all here? Aren't we filming a movie?"

"Of course I came back to celebrate your birthday."

Qin Lan closed the door and kissed Fu Yibai on the cheek as well.

"It's your 30th birthday, and we promised to come back and celebrate with you."

Over the next half hour, the villa's doorbell rang five or six times.

Yang Rong and Gao Yuanyuan came together.

Yang Rong wore a light blue knitted sweater, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Gao Yuanyuan was wearing a beige sweater with a camel-colored cardigan over it.

After the two entered the house and greeted the people in the living room, Yang Rong went straight into the kitchen to help.

Tang Yan and Yang Mi arrived one after the other.

Tang Yan, wrapped in a long white down jacket, rushed into Fu Yibai's arms as soon as she entered the room, hugged his neck, and kissed him hard on the face.

"Yi Bai! I missed you so much!"

Yang Mi followed behind, took off her sunglasses, and rolled her eyes.

"Tangtang, can you please stop exaggerating like this every time?"

"I'd love to!"

Tang Yan released Fu Yibai's neck, turned around and made a face at Yang Mi.

Li Dabai and Guo Zhenni arrived at the same time.

Li Dabai was wearing a dark gray woolen coat and carrying a thermos in his hand.

Guo Zhenni was wrapped in a black down jacket and holding a rectangular box in her hands.

"I made the longevity noodles myself."

Li Dabai placed the insulated box on the dining table.

"My skills are just so-so, please don't mind."

Guo Zhenni placed the box on the coffee table, opened the lid, and inside was a dark blue cashmere scarf.

"Mr. Fu, I knitted this myself in my spare time."

"You still call him 'General Manager Fu' in private?"

Guo Zhenni blushed slightly.

"Yi Bai."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were the last to arrive.

Shu Chang stood in the entryway, looking at the familiar faces in the living room.

These women radiate brilliance in front of the camera and shine brightly on the red carpet.

They were nestled on the sofa, dressed in their pajamas, holding wine glasses, chatting about fun things that happened on set and about the newly opened restaurant.

Like a group of ordinary friends.

But Shu Chang knew this was not an ordinary gathering of friends.

"Changchang, come in."

Liu Yifei took her hand and led her to the living room.

Although Shu Chang had already heard about it from the company and Liu Yifei, she had already prepared herself mentally.

But seeing all the women in the living room today, I still can't quite accept it.

The women in the living room reacted in different ways when they saw Shu Chang.

Liu Yan smiled and nodded at her.

Hu Jing put down her wine glass, stood up, and took two steps to greet her.

"Changchang's here, come sit down."

Shu Chang was pulled down to sit on the sofa by Hu Jing.

Liu Yifei sat next to her on the other side, her arm naturally linked with hers.

"Changchang is my best friend."

Please take good care of her from now on.

"What's with all this talk about taking care of me?"

Qin Lan held her teacup, her posture as dignified as ever.

"Since you're here, you're family."

Shu Chang's face flushed slightly.

"Alright, alright, everyone's here."

Let's eat.

The women got up one after another and headed towards the restaurant.

The long table was covered with a dark gray tablecloth and was already laden with dishes.

Fu Yibai was made to sit down in the main seat by Fan Binbin.

The women took their seats one by one.

Fan Binbin sat to his left, and Liu Yan sat to his right.

The others sat down casually, chattering about which dish looked the best.

Fan Binbin picked up his wine glass and stood up.

Today is Yi Bai's thirtieth birthday.

Let's wish him a happy birthday.

"Happy birthday!"

The women raised their glasses at the same time.

Fu Yibai picked up his wine glass, his gaze sweeping from left to right.

Thank you.

He tilted his head back and downed the drink in his glass.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Tang Yan picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up.

"Sister Binbin, these ribs are so delicious!"

"That was made by Rongrong."

Fan Binbin pointed to the soup in the casserole.

"I made that soup."

"The soup was delicious too!"

Yang Mi took a sip from the bowl and gave a thumbs up.

"Sister Rong's cooking is amazing."

"Eat as much as you like. Come to my house when you have time off, and I'll cook for you."

Shu Chang sat down next to Liu Yifei and slowly relaxed.

She sipped her soup slowly, listening to the women around her chatting.

Liu Yifei would occasionally lean close to her ear and whisper about each person's situation.

Halfway through the meal, Fu Yibai's phone started vibrating.

First, it was my mother, Li Hui, who called.

"Happy birthday, you little rascal."

Li Hui's voice came through the receiver, tinged with laughter.

"You're thirty now. Don't be so busy anymore. Go home and visit your family more often."

"Okay, Mom."

"Your dad's right there, let him say a few words to you."

There was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone, and then Fu Jianlin's voice came through.

"I'm thirty now, it's time to settle down."

Your mother is eagerly awaiting her grandson, so you'd better hurry up and get things moving.

"…"

Yes, I'll hurry.

After dinner, Liu Yan and her friends went to the restaurant.

Fu Yibai was also pulled by Fan Binbin and the others to take a shower.

This was the first time he felt that the bathroom in this villa was a bit small.

For the next day and night, Fu Yibai and the women stayed in the villa and went wild.

Even with his physique modified by the system, he was finding it difficult to cope.

When Fu Yibai woke up, it was already the afternoon of the 28th.

The room was a mess, with traces of his battles everywhere.

Most of the women had left, leaving only Liu Yan, Hu Jing, Yang Rong, and a few others who had just finished filming.
