I can support you.

Chen Mengjun listened from the side, patted Liu Zhiyi's hand with a smile, and looked at Liu Wenbin:

"It's great that Mr. Liu understands gourmet food. Our Mingyang just eats without knowing anything. Zhiyi looks quiet, but is she picky about food like you?"

Liu Zhiyi was suddenly asked, and the blush that had just faded back onto her cheeks, and she shook her head gently:

"I'm fine, not picky. I just... I just like some sweet snacks."

She secretly glanced at Zhao Mingyang, remembering the last time they went to the old shop at the end of the alley to buy osmanthus cake. He insisted on grabbing it, but she patted him on the back of his hand. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingyang quickly responded:

"Mom, Zhiyi likes to eat Dingsheng cakes from Zhiweixuan in the south of the city. Last time I bought her two pieces, and she ate one and was reluctant to leave it, saying she wanted to save it for breakfast the next day."

"You little brat, you're the only one who talks too much."

Chen Mengjun glared at him, but turned to Xue Pianpian and said,

"Pianpian, let's go try it later. Mingyang said that the chef of that shop came from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and his skills are authentic."

Xue Pianpian responded with a smile, then looked at Liu Wenbin:

"Since Mr. Liu understands food, he must also know a lot of good restaurants hidden in the alleys, right? I always feel that these small restaurants are much more interesting than big hotels and have a more down-to-earth atmosphere."

Liu Wenbin nodded:

"Mr. Xue is right. Just like the soft-shelled eel we were talking about earlier, this restaurant makes it quite good, but for the most authentic one, you have to go to that old street in the north. There's a small restaurant that's been open for thirty years. The owner has made a living from this one dish."

He paused, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"When I was young, I often went there with my father-in-law. He loved the spicy taste."

"Oh? I have to write that down."

Xue Pianpian picked up her phone and actually saved the address.

“Next time I have the chance, I will definitely try it.

The atmosphere in the box became increasingly lively, and the original restraint had long since disappeared.

The warm light fell on the teacup on the mahogany table, reflecting ripples, just like the joy in everyone's heart at this moment, gently spreading.

Chen Mengjun picked up a piece of crystal shrimp dumpling for Liu Zhiyi and said with a smile:

"Eat quickly, don't just talk. These shrimp dumplings won't taste good if they get cold."

Liu Zhiyi took it and whispered

"Thank you, Auntie." She took a small bite, and the delicious soup spread in her mouth. She looked up at Zhao Mingyang and saw that he was staring at her with a smile in his eyes. She suddenly felt warm in her heart - it turned out that meeting "family" could be so comfortable.

Zhao Mingyang felt soft-hearted when he saw her look. He secretly hooked her little finger under the table and laughed in a low voice:

"Delicious, right? The shrimp dumplings here are made with freshly peeled live shrimp. I specially asked the kitchen to add some chopped water chestnuts, so they are crispy and not greasy."

Liu Zhiyi's fingertips trembled slightly, and she curled up quietly, but did not avoid it. The tips of her ears turned red again.

Chen Mengjun saw this and suppressed her laughter as she poured more tea for Liu Wenbin:

"Speaking of which, Zhiyi likes sweet things. I remember asking a friend to bring back some pine nut candy from Suzhou a while ago. They used aged rock sugar and had a mellow sweetness. I'll ask Mingyang to send some to you to try later."

Liu Wenbin waved his hands quickly:

"Sister Chen, you're so polite. Speaking of sweets, I know a little shop that makes double-stuffed dumplings right at the entrance of Old Street. They have black sesame filling mixed with red bean paste, and they're really chewy and not sticky. I'll have the driver buy two boxes someday so Sister Chen and Director Xue can try them."

Xue Pianpian had just saved the address, and smiled as she heard the words:

"Then I'll be waiting for Mr. Liu's double brewing group."

Liu Wenbin looked at this happy scene, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to Xue Pianpian with a smile:

"Mr. Xue, Mingyang's future is definitely bright with a sister like you. I feel relieved that Zhiyi is with him."

Zhao Mingyang's eyes lit up, his surprise was beyond words.

"Uncle, do you agree that Zhiyi and I should be together?"

Liu Wenbin has a kind face.

"Yes, I have never objected. The reason I didn't express a clear attitude before was that I wanted to give you more time to spend together.

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Wenqi and Chen Mengjun and continued,

"Brother Zhao, Sister Chen, I think you should be able to understand my good intentions as a father, right?"

Zhao Wenqi smiled and nodded slightly, then nodded sincerely and said repeatedly:

"I understand, I understand! If I had a daughter, I would definitely do the same."

Chen Mengjun also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, parents love their children and have long-term plans for them. We all understand."

Liu Wenbin looked at Xue Pianpian again and asked respectfully:

"Mr. Xue, you should be able to understand, right?"

Xue Pianpian smiled and said:

"I understand. All parents should feel this way."

"Mr. Liu, you agree to have two children together. I wonder what your sister-in-law thinks of it?"

Chen Mengjun remembered the arrogant look on Liu Zhiyi's mother's face and couldn't help asking.

Liu Wenbin had a confident expression.

"Don't worry about this, Sister Chen! Zhang Fang has always respected my opinions. As long as I agree, she generally doesn't have any objections.

She was supposed to come today, but she had an appointment with her classmates to attend an event, so she can only meet everyone next time."

As he was talking, Liu Wenbin's phone rang. He nodded politely to everyone and pressed the answer button while walking out of the box.

"Husband, where are you?"

A clear female voice came over, her tone full of soft coquettishness.

Liu Wenbin's face was full of pampering,

"Honey, are you guys done with your activities? Yiyi and I are having dinner with Brother Zhao, Sister Chen, and their family. Do you want to come over?"

"Brother Zhao? Sister Chen? Do I know them?"

Zhang Fang's tone was full of doubt.

Liu Wenbin explained:

"They're the parents of our daughter's boyfriend, Mingyang. Haven't you met them too? Oh, and you might not know this, but Ms. Xue from the Haoting Group is actually Mingyang's godsister. What a coincidence! Our family has a lot of business cooperation with the Haoting Group."

Zhang Fang's tone was surprised.

"Ah? Haoting Group? Is that the huge conglomerate with assets exceeding hundreds of billions?"

Liu Wenbin smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes.

"Yes, it's the Haoting Group. Business has been getting tough over the past two years. Now, we're about to get a piece of the action. A little bit of Haoting's profits will be enough to keep us well fed. So when I heard they were inviting Yiyi over for dinner, I quickly followed."

Zhang Fang seemed to have thought of something, and her tone began to become nervous and cautious:

"Hubby, I think I might have gotten you into trouble!"

Liu Wenbin was puzzled.

"What do you mean? Did you have a conflict with someone when you went out today?"

Zhang Fang quickly denied it.

"No, no. What I meant was that I might have been showing off a bit in front of Mingyang's parents before, thinking that their family's conditions weren't good enough for our Yiyi. Do you think they'll hold a grudge?"

Liu Wenbin was silent for a moment, then continued:

"Mrs. Xue, with her status, shouldn't bother with us. I see she values ​​her younger brother Mingyang very much, and Mingyang likes our Yiyi so much. In this case, Brother Zhao and Sister Chen shouldn't dwell on the past with you.

Let's put it this way. We've already eaten. I'll invite Xue Dong and the others to the cafe. Honey, I'll send you the address of the cafe later. Come over quickly and apologize to Brother Zhao and Sister Chen. Remember, your attitude must be sincere. We must get married. Others want to get close but can't. The opportunity is right in front of us, we must not miss it.

Zhang Fang said repeatedly:

"Okay, husband, I'll listen to you and apologize."

Back in the box, Liu Wenbin expressed his meaning very enthusiastically and sincerely.

Zhao Wenqi and Chen Mengjun had no objection. After all, Liu Zhiyi was the person their son liked, and through their observation and contact just now, they themselves also accepted this girl from the bottom of their hearts.

Xue Pianpian readily agreed. As soon as Liu Wenbin and his daughter showed up, she activated the system to scan their body data. The results showed that both of them had good moral values, proving that their character was not a problem.

As for the respect and flattery Liu Wenbin showed her, she felt that it was normal. As long as it did not touch on principles and bottom lines, she was still willing to give face to her godmother's family.

Twenty minutes later, the group moved from the Huaiyang restaurant to a high-end cafe near Chen Mengjun's home.
