They had to attend a banquet in the evening and time was limited, so Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian had to return to Meng's house first and find some time to rest and go out for a walk another day.

The Meng family dinner was arranged at the only seven-star hotel in northern Beijing.

Considering the privacy of the banquet, the Meng family booked the venue.

This family dinner took less than a week from planning to implementation. It was urgent, but we couldn't be perfunctory.

The hotel originally adopted a reservation system, and the Meng family suddenly proposed to book the entire hotel this weekend, which really put the hotel manager in a difficult position.

The hotel will receive many guests this weekend, and all of them are wealthy people. Even though the Meng family has the highest status in the celebrity circle in northern Beijing, these guests cannot be easily offended.

For this reason, the person in charge went to Huachuang Group two days ago to explain and discuss with Meng Hengze in person.

The only purpose is to hope that the Meng family will change the date or give up the private booking.

If it is the former, the hotel is willing to vacate its largest banquet hall for the Meng family to use.

Of course the Meng family was unwilling.

The Meng family would never use these gestures of condescension, compromise, and choice on such a trivial matter.

Meng Hengze took a firm stance and proposed to double the price of booking the entire venue.

It's obvious that they will use money to hit you until you agree.

Faced with such huge profits, the person in charge was sweating profusely.

He didn't dare to agree, nor did he dare to refuse.

When the situation was at a stalemate, Meng Yingnian received the letter and went to Meng Hengze's office in person.

Meng Yingnian said to the hotel manager, "You can go back now. I have arranged for the housekeeper to go to the hotel to discuss the matters related to the weekend family dinner with you."

Direct order, no room for negotiation.

The person in charge said stubbornly, "Mr. Meng, we really can't explain this to the other guests. Everything should be based on first come, first served..."

"The Meng family has already taken care of the other guests." Meng Yingnian glanced at the person in charge's phone and said calmly, "Why don't you answer the assistant's call?"

The person in charge was stunned.

He took out his cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, there were several missed calls from his assistant.

Before entering the office, he deliberately turned his phone to silent mode.

While I was stunned, the assistant called again.

The person in charge looked at the Meng father and son, stood up and said "Excuse me", walked to the window and answered the phone.

In just two minutes, the person in charge came back after answering the phone, his face full of smiles, no longer worried.

"Since Mr. Meng has already made all the arrangements, I won't bother you any more. I will personally take care of the family dinner this weekend."

Meng Yingnian hummed, then said indifferently, "Thank you."

The person in charge was extremely apprehensive: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

As soon as the person in charge left, Meng Yingnian said to Meng Hengze, "Dad, if you don't want to host this family dinner, just say so. There's no need to do anything behind the scenes."

Meng Hengze was completely confused as he was inexplicably accused of a crime.

"What little tricks? Why wouldn't I want to take care of it?"

"What's the point of constantly increasing the price of the private room? The hotel obviously doesn't want to offend multiple families for the Meng family. If that's the case, why not just use money to shut them up? Why keep wasting time here with the hotel staff?"

Meng Hengze was slightly stunned.

Meng Yingnian admitted that he had discovered his father's secret and his attitude became increasingly cold.

"Grandpa originally asked me to take charge of this family dinner, but you insisted on taking it over, and then deliberately dragged your feet. Dad, you're not a child anymore, and you're not ashamed of doing these tricks."

"What do you mean I'm deliberately procrastinating?"

Meng Hengze glared at Meng Yingnian: "How could you be so unfair to your own father? Your grandparents have already accepted Yu Zhi as their grandson-in-law, how could I possibly do anything like that?"

"Besides, if I didn't agree that Yu Zhi was a member of the Meng family, why would I ask you to ask for his opinion so many times and hold this family dinner? I'm just bored and making myself uncomfortable!"

Meng Yingnian looked at Meng Hengze in surprise and was speechless for a while.

Meng Hengze snorted in anger and cursed, "They say a man forgets his mother when he marries a wife. Look, you've forgotten everyone in your family! You're accusing your father without any basis for fact."

Seeing that Meng Hengze was genuinely angry and didn't seem to be lying, Meng Yingnian turned and asked, "Then why don't you go find someone else, but instead stay here to deal with the person in charge?"

Meng Hengze paused, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's because of me—"

Meng Hengze turned his head away, his face embarrassed, and his voice became softer: "...I didn't think of finding other people for this idea."

Meng Yingnian had that surprised expression again.

Meng Hengze's face turned red with embarrassment.

Even though his son didn't say a word, he felt like he was being laughed at!

"Why are you looking at me like that? You're smart, but does that mean everyone is smart? I'm an elderly man, so it's normal for me to not think things through thoroughly!"

Meng Yingnian laughed and agreed with Meng Hengze, "I wasn't thoughtful enough either. I wronged you. Your son apologizes to you."

In front of his son, he, as a father, revealed his own shortcomings. Meng Hengze was a proud man after all, and he always felt uncomfortable.

He waved at Meng Yingnian, feeling very embarrassed. "That's enough! Just seeing you gives me a headache. Go back to your office."

With Meng Yingnian's assistance, the preparations for the family dinner went smoothly.

From Saturday afternoon to Monday daytime, all hotel facilities are for use by the Meng family only.

The relevant staff also signed a confidentiality agreement at the request of the Meng family, which explicitly prohibits all photography and filming, and violators will be held accountable for legal liability.

Such a grand occasion would be more than enough for a popular star’s wedding, but this was just a family dinner of the Meng family.

The meal time is actually only three or four hours, but the Meng family booked two days for the guests to have fun and have fun in the hotel. There is no upper limit on the consumption, and all the bills are paid by the host.

"You can wear the ring, but not the watch. Didn't grandma give you a jade bracelet last time? Change it to that."

Just like the last time he met the old couple, Yu Zhi tried on clothes in the cloakroom for a long time before finally deciding which one to wear.

When choosing accessories, Meng Yingnian rarely let Yu Zhi choose by himself, but directly helped him make the decision.

When Yu Zhi heard Meng Yingnian ask him to wear the jade bracelet given by Xu Yaru, he immediately understood the deep meaning behind it.

"I never realized that you were a person who liked to show off." Yu Zhi joked with a smile.

Meng Yingnian took the jade bracelet out of the safe and put it on Yu Zhi himself.

"This is a rare opportunity," said Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi asked doubtfully, "Is it rare?"

"You need an audience to show off. Aside from Chinese New Year, the Meng family rarely has large gatherings like this throughout the year."

Meng Yingnian looked at Yu Zhi and smiled, "In the short term, there is no better occasion to wear this jade bracelet than tonight."

Yu Zhi's heart was filled with warmth.

He lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'm afraid others will see through your thoughts at a glance."

Meng Yingnian said confidently, domineeringly and forcefully, "I just want them to see it."

"Tonight I want all the Meng family members to know that you are my, Meng Yingnian's, lover and a member of my master's family."
