?Chapter 247: Chapter 190 Happy Birthday to You_3 Chapter 247: Chapter 190 Happy Birthday to You_3 “Oh right,” Wenyan smacked her forehead, “Director, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot. I still have to join the film’s roadshow, so I indeed need to ask for a few days off. I’ll check the schedule with the team and then come back to you.”
–
“Voiceless” opened to a tremendous response! The box office broke 100 million on the first day!
When the movie was being planned, Wenyan was still an unknown. Only Shen Jinghe and a few veteran actors could carry the film.
But by the time it was released, Wenyan had clearly become the backbone of the movie.
A significant portion of the audience learned about the movie because of the buzz around her, and she truly boosted its success substantially.
And Wenyan, through her sincere and exceptional acting in this film, made her way into the sightlines of many viewers and quite a few top directors.
There was also a considerable number of fans who only realized through “Jungle Diary” that their favorite young lady was actually such a good actress.
When watching the movie, you feel like laughing when she laughs and even more like crying when she cries.
After the laughter and tears, you come to realize that there’s a community of deaf and mute individuals in the corners of society, being neglected, discriminated against, and treated unfairly!
Turns out there’s such a group of justice-driven, passionate young lawyers who, regardless of their own safety, do everything in their power, applying all their knowledge, to fight for justice, kindness, morality, and the rule of law!
Just three days after its release, “Voiceless” scored an impressive 9.5 across the internet!
Director Zhou Junye wished he could take Wenyan with him to every roadshow.
But Wenyan had “Palace Wall Lock” to shoot; she couldn’t always ask for leave and delay the filming schedule.
Today, December 24th, is the day Wenyan planned to attend her last roadshow.
This roadshow was an afternoon session, and knowing it was Wenyan’s final one, fans were reluctant to leave.
As the host urged the audience to vacate the premises, they began to sing the birthday song together.
Hearing this chorus of voices, Wenyan remembered that today was her birthday.
It was her birthday as well as that of her original self.
After the birthday song ended, a staff member quickly wheeled out a cake specially made for Wenyan.
There was a little sugar figure on the cake, modeled after Wenyan’s likeness.
As someone who was already very emotional, Wenyan was moved to tears by this unexpected and delightful surprise.
Seeing her cry, the host immediately handed her some tissues.
“It’s apparent that Wenyan is really touched, and just now, Wenyan also said many words of thanks to her fans. So, that brings us to the end of our event. However, just before, there was an audience member who entrusted me with a question for you, is that okay?”
Wenyan, carefully dabbing at her eyes, nodded, “That’s fine, please ask.”
“The fans are very concerned about you. They just want to know if you have any work plans tonight, or if you will get some rest?”
Wenyan shook her head, “There are no work plans tonight. Actually, my mom called me earlier to invite me home for dinner, but at that time I didn’t even realize it was my birthday because I’ve been so busy I forgot about it.
“Now that I think about it, she must have been asking me to come home so they could celebrate my birthday. My brother actually hinted at it today as well, but even then, I didn’t catch on.”
“Oh? So you have a brother?”
“Yes, haha, I accidentally let that slip.”
“Your brother must be very fond of you, then.”
“Yes.”
“Then let me ask a question on behalf of the audience to Teacher Shen Jinghe. Teacher Shen, what are your plans after the roadshow ends?”
“Coincidentally,” Shen Jinghe picked up the microphone, smiling, “I am also going home to spend the birthday with my family.”
But neither the host nor the audience made the connection between Wenyan and Shen Jinghe.
Everyone just marveled at the coincidence.
Only Wenyan and Shen Jinghe exchanged a silent glance.
When the event concluded, they left one after the other in a queue.
Shen Jinghe shielded Wenyan with his body and whispered to her.
“Are you heading straight back? Do you want to ride in my car?”
“You’re going straight home? But I can’t yet, I have a little work arrangement. I’ll make my way back later.”
“All right then, we’ll wait for you at home.”

By the time Wenyan returned to the Shen family villa, it was nearly dark.
Except for the family’s third son, Shen Jingcheng, everyone had already arrived.
