The chef in the kitchen timed everything perfectly and served the dishes.

Xia Dongxue immediately informed everyone to set the table.

Today there were many people, so two tables were borrowed from the neighbors next door. Fortunately, the living room was large enough to set up three tables.

Once everyone was seated, Elder Master Ye spoke a few words, but he knew how to keep it brief: "I won’t say much, let’s all raise a glass together."

In an instant, the room was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

After everyone was full of food and drink, they moved to the living room to chat.

The Xia Family didn’t ignore Ye Wenyue just because she wasn’t their biological granddaughter. On the contrary, Elder Master Xia specifically asked about her current situation as a concern: "Wenyue, what’s your partner’s family arrangement like?"

During today’s meal, Wenyue’s own mother had zero interaction with Wenyue and her partner, and no matter how you see it, she had called them grandpa and grandma for more than ten years, so they felt quite uneasy inside.

Ye Wenyue was deeply moved: "Grandpa, Grandma, Baoping said their family would come to propose in a few days. If things go well, we’ll register for marriage after the New Year."

The elderly couple felt relieved upon hearing this: "Alright, as long as you don’t wrong yourself."

Everyone noticed it, and of course, the two elders of the Ye Family did as well.

Now Ye Bingkun was summoned again by the two elders of the Ye Family: "Your wife, being a mother, doesn’t care a bit about Wenyue’s matters. What’s your perspective as her father?"

Ye Bingkun’s face was quite unpleasant: "I’ve talked to her about this before, but she said whatever the Jiao Family brings over, it’ll be given to Wenyue, no need for advance preparation."

The two elders were relieved to hear this, at least Zhang Baoxiang wasn’t thinking of suppressing the Jiao Family’s betrothal gifts.

Elder Master Ye didn’t interject, he just listened throughout as his brother asked questions: "And you, as a father, haven’t prepared anything for your child?"

Ye Bingkun coughed lightly: "Dad, Uncle, as a man, I don’t understand those things. I plan to give Wenyue two hundred yuan as a dowry so that she’ll have confidence when she joins her future family."

The two elders nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, as long as you have it all figured out."

Of course, Jiao Baoping didn’t escape being called over for questioning.

Facing the elders of the Ye Family, Jiao Baoping was still a bit nervous, his palms were sweaty.

The second elder of the Ye Family stared at him for a long time before asking, "Do you have housing allocation eligibility at your unit now?"

Jiao Baoping hurriedly replied, "Grandpa, I will have housing allocation eligibility in April next year. I’ve discussed this with Wenyue, and we plan to rent a place near the base first, and move in once the unit housing is allocated."

At this point, Ye Bingyu on the side asked, "Wenyue hasn’t received a promotion yet. Have you thought about what you’ll do if she doesn’t get promoted after the New Year?"

Everyone turned to look at Jiao Baoping upon hearing this.

Despite being nervous, Jiao Baoping replied, "Wenyue gave up the opportunity to take the college entrance exam for a promotion, and her commander knows about this and has promised that as long as she excels in her performance tasks, she will have a promotion spot."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Of course, if any problems arise midway, I will undoubtedly always wait for her. I believe with her hard work and excellence, she will soon have another opportunity."

Jiao Baoping’s expression was very determined, which left a very good impression on the Ye Family, allowing him to pass the Ye Family’s test.

The reason for bringing his partner home today was to prevent his biological mother from causing trouble, and also because it was Yunyi’s domain, where the elders would consider more things.

Seeing this, Ye Wenyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
