~7 min read 1,272 words

Seeing the whole family back and gathered together, the old man was truly happy.

"It's been about ten years, and it hasn't been this complete."

The old man picked up his wine glass and scanned the room: "Today is the New Year, I have a prior statement: only talk about family matters, not official business."

As soon as the old man's voice fell, Jian Zhengguo, Chen Quan, and Jian Yulan's faces changed.

Zhou Andong had a silly smile on his face, staring at the elbow in front of him, almost drooling.

The old man knew clearly in his heart that this meal today would not be peaceful, so he said it first.

Jian Zhengxue lowered his head and played with his wine glass, sneering in his heart.

Old man, is it that you don't understand your eldest son, or is it that we younger brothers don't understand?

Jian Zhengcun looked at Jian Zhengguo, the expression on his face very thought-provoking.

Eldest brother, you came prepared today, don't let everyone down.

Jian Zhengrong shook his head imperceptibly. With the eldest brother's temper, how could he return without success?

He didn't have the courage to flip the table while eating, but after eating, he would definitely kick the stool.

Just when everyone had their own thoughts, the old man's gaze stayed on the eldest for two or three seconds, then he raised his glass with a smile.

"Eldest, Second, Andong!"

After the old man called the eldest and second, he called Zhou Andong again, which made some people's hearts sour again.

"I won't say much. Our family, let's have a drink together."

"Cheers!" Zhu Cong held a cup of Iced Black Tea and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Cheers!" Everyone followed and shouted.

No matter who it was, holding whatever thoughts, the old man said not to talk about official business at the dinner table, so no one dared to talk about it.

Next, the atmosphere was quite warm. A loving family, chatting and laughing, drinking and talking.

Zhou Andong stood up with his wine glass: "Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year. I toast to you, wishing you good health."

"Good, good, good!" The old man raised his glass with a smile.

The old lady's attitude had changed. When facing Zhou Andong, there was also a smile on her face.

Such a change must have been because the old man said something.

In addition, someone must have been whispering in the old lady's ear.

As for who was whispering, the biggest possibility was this little aunt, Jian Yufang.

Next, Zhou Andong toasted Jian Zhengguo: "Big Uncle, Big Aunt, I toast you a glass, wishing you smooth sailing in your career and step-by-step promotion."

Li Yan's face turned black, and she acted as if she hadn't heard.

Jian Zhengguo laughed out loud and raised his glass.

"Good, I'll borrow your auspicious words. Big Uncle also wishes you prosperous business."

"Thank you, Big Uncle." Zhou Andong thanked him, then toasted his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Dad, Mom, I toast you."

Although Zhou Andong didn't say anything, Jian Zhengxue and Gu Minglan both knew clearly in their hearts that the emotion filled in this "Dad" and "Mom."

"Dongzi!" Gu Minglan said earnestly: "Regarding you and Qiuqiu, from opposition to acceptance, for me, it was a struggling process."

"When I first met you, the impression was very good, but when I knew you deceived me, I was very angry."

"When I tried to pay attention to you and understand you, my heart was actually slowly accepting it. I said that as long as your personal assets reached one billion, I would agree to your and Qiuqiu's matter. That was just to save my face, the last stubbornness."

"Actually, your dad and I are not those stubborn old people. After all, love is something you meet but can't seek. Because as long as you meet, it's all beautiful."

"But you must understand, no matter how I opposed you being together before, from the moment you secretly got the certificate, you are the most important child in my heart."

"You also said that a son-in-law is half a son. In my heart, my daughter's happiness is linked to you. In my heart, you are more important than a son."

"Mom!" Zhou Andong said very moved: "Thank you for your tolerance toward me."

Jian Zhengxue snorted: "Don't I tolerate you?"

"Tolerate!" Zhou Andong said with a full face of smiles: "You tolerate me even more."

Zhou Andong wasn't lying. His father-in-law had always been on his side.

Although he hadn't put in any effort, not opposing was the greatest support.

Next, Zhou Andong toasted Jian Zhengcun and Zhang Yuemei, and Jian Zhengrong and Zhang Ping.

Finally, Zhou Andong looked at Jian Yufang and Zhu Liesheng: "Little Aunt, Little Aunt's husband, finally toast to you, wishing Little Aunt eternal youth and beauty, and wishing Little Aunt's husband's career to take off."

Jian Yufang said with a full face of smiles: "Little Aunt also wishes you and Qiuqiu happiness."

Zhou Andong toasted a circle, but didn't toast Chen Quan and Jian Yulan, as if he had forgotten them.

This made the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly become a bit weird.

The old man looked at Chen Quan. This little fox Zhou Andong had always been slick in doing things and never easily offended people.

But on such an occasion, he toasted a circle and left out only the Big Aunt and Big Aunt's husband. It must be that this couple did something that made Zhou Andong very angry.

Chen Quan and Jian Yulan's faces turned livid, and their faces burned. Zhou Andong was slapping them in the face in front of everyone, and it was even more of an insult to them.

This made their inner anger reach its peak, but looking at the old man who didn't say a word, the two could only forcibly suppress their anger.

Zhou Andong didn't even look at them and started drinking with Jian Zhengcun. The two drank cup after cup, neither willing to admit defeat to the other.

Finally, Jian Zhengcun admitted defeat, constantly waving his hands: "Not drinking anymore, I admit defeat."

Zhou Andong laughed: "Convinced?"

Jian Zhengcun patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder: "Convinced, Third Uncle is truly convinced."

Jian Zhengrong on the side laughed out loud: "Dongzi, you can be considered to have vented my and your dad's anger."

Seeing that the meal was full and the wine was almost finished, Zhou Andong slapped his head.

"Did I miss anyone when I toasted just now?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone quieted down, and the expressions on their faces became very strange.

Jian Zhengxue wanted to say something, but seeing Jian Zhengguo's face turn black, his heart moved, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say.

A trace of a smile appeared on Jian Zhengcun's face, and he looked at Zhou Andong deeply.

This kid is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He buried a mine while toasting, and after eating, he lit the mine without waiting a moment.

"Oh!" Zhou Andong exclaimed, stood up and said: "I remembered, I haven't toasted Big Aunt and Big Aunt's husband yet."

"Zhou Andong!"

Jian Yulan had never suffered this before, let alone Zhou Andong was a junior, yet he insulted her like this in front of so many people.

"You uneducated thing, what virtue and ability do you have, what qualification do you have to sit at the Jian family's dinner table to eat?"

"Stupid!"

Jian Zhengguo cursed in his heart. At this time, why are you the first to stick your head out?
