Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

Meng Hengze has always respected, feared, and resented his father.

Blame him for being strict and harsh, and blame him for not valuing himself.

Blame him for never being a kind father to her.

Before his two sons were born, Meng Hengze did not resent his father, but he was dissatisfied, fearful, and dissatisfied.

He thought he had done his best and had always been a leader among his peers, not a mediocre person.

However, his father often scolded him for being impatient, impetuous, and narrow-minded. In Meng Hengze's view, these were all nitpicking!

There is no such thing as a perfect person in the world. He is already excellent!

But this man is his biological father, so he can only endure it no matter how picky he is.

Until two sons were born one after another, especially the youngest son Meng Yingnian.

Seeing how intelligent Meng Yingnian became after he started school, Meng Hengze finally understood that being mediocre does not necessarily mean being a genius.

Meng Yingnian is gifted and an extremely rare S-level alpha, so the family business is destined to be handed over to him.

The eldest son, Meng Yingtian, is also a good seedling, but the elder brother is far inferior to the younger brother.

The whole family knows this, including the old man.

Both brothers received elite education since childhood, but only Meng Yingnian was brought up by the old man himself. Therefore, Meng Yingnian's temperament is most like that of the old man.

If the person his biological father valued was not his own son, Meng Hengze would have regarded him as a thorn in his side long ago.

Meng Hengze originally thought that his eldest son, as the older brother, would feel aggrieved.

He didn't expect that his eldest son had taken the initiative to express his position in front of him and the old man.

"Grandpa, neither my father nor I are the best candidates to inherit the family business, but Yingnian has extraordinary talent and will surely achieve great things in the future."

"This is also God's blessing. Our lineage has not been left without successors."

"As a member of the Meng family, it is my duty to carry on the family business. As for my position, I don't care. Yingnian's talent is superior to mine, and I am willing to pave the way for him."

Meng Hengze was silent for a moment, then asked his eldest son, "Aren't you feeling unhappy?"

Even he, as a father, would be unwilling to accept this.

The eldest son smiled gently as usual, his expression calm: "No."

"My younger brother is my closest relative. I only have love and care for him, not comparison. I am proud of his glory."

The old man patted Meng Yingtian's shoulder with relief.

As strict as he was, he actually praised Meng Yingtian.

"Yingtian, your generosity and generosity are rare in this world. You have your own strengths, so there's no need to belittle yourself."

Meng Yingtian smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

After Meng Yingtian left the study, the old man looked at Meng Hengze deeply.

The old man said nothing, but it seemed like he said everything.

——In terms of talent, you are not as good as your younger son; in terms of temperament, your older son is far better than you.

Meng Hengze felt extremely ashamed when he saw the old man's look.

Whether as a son or as a father, he failed.

And he himself didn't know how to deal with this failure.

The more he couldn't face it, the more he wanted to act like a father in front of his sons and exercise his power as a father.

It seemed that only in this way could the self-esteem he lost from his father be temporarily satisfied.

Unfortunately, after his youngest son took over as CEO of the group, Meng Hengze felt increasingly overwhelmed.

It's the same whether at work or in front of my youngest son.

Not long ago, because he used too much force, he forced Yu Zhi to sign the divorce agreement, which caused a rift between him and his youngest son, and they are still estranged to this day.

The problem here was not resolved, and the old man and the old lady suddenly returned to northern Beijing.

Judging from his posture, he must have heard about what happened at home and came back to support his youngest son.

Meng Hengze and Zheng Yuanhui exchanged glances and reached a consensus - well, this time the couple has completely become villains.

They had a rift with their youngest son, and the old couple wanted to support their grandson. They were caught in the middle and had no other choice but to obey.

Meng Hengze laughed dryly and agreed: "That's right, Dad is right."

Everyone was talking, and the steps were already at Yu Zhi's feet. There was no reason for him not to lift his legs.

Yu Zhi smiled at Xu Yaru and politely changed the subject: "Grandma."

Then he looked at the old man: "Grandpa."

As for Meng Hengze and Zheng Yuanhui, they just passed by.

He couldn't bring himself to call out that, and presumably the other party didn't want him to be called that either.

The old couple had already understood the whole story.

Yu Zhi's reaction was reasonable. Xu Yaru pretended not to notice Yu Zhi's different treatment and said with a smile, "That's right."

Taking the opportunity, he took Yu Zhi's hand and walked towards the sofa: "Come, sit next to grandma."

For so many years after his mother passed away, Yu Zhi has always been disliked by everyone at home.

No elder would be so close to him.

Sitting next to the elders...how to sit?

Is this a compliment or the truth?

Should he accept it?

If it's just a compliment, isn't it rather tactless to accept it like this?

Yu Zhi was flattered.

While trying to maintain politeness on the surface, his mind was thinking rapidly.

At the same time, you have to hide your inner helplessness and embarrassment so as not to cause misunderstandings from your elders and unnecessary unhappiness.

In a panic, Yu Zhi instinctively gave Meng Yingnian a look - asking for help.

Meng Yingnian sighed quietly out of heartache.

It seems like there is still a long way to go to help a love-deprived kitten adapt to a loving environment...

Meng Yingnian stepped forward, vaguely stopped Xu Yaru, and quietly transferred the will to himself to rescue Yu Zhi.

Even though in his opinion this was not a siege at all.

What trapped Yu Zhi was the fact that he had never been loved properly.

This is not something that can be changed overnight.

At that moment, Yu Zhi felt trapped and asked him for help, so there was no reason for him to ignore him.

"grandmother."

"If Yu Zhi sits next to you, I'll be left alone."

Xu Yaru looked at Meng Yingnian, then at Yu Zhi, and suddenly her mind became clear.

"Okay, okay." Xu Yaru cooperated with Meng Yingnian, let go of Yu Zhi's hand, and echoed, "Your wife will sit next to you, okay."

Meng Yingnian hummed and said to Xu Yaru, "Thank you, grandma."

There is no need to specify what they are thanking each other for, as both the grandfather and the grandson know it.

Not long after they sat down, Wen Yiying came out of the kitchen.

She personally cooked two of her signature dishes for tonight's family dinner.

Meng Yingnian noticed Wen Yiying and greeted her first: "Sister-in-law."

Yu Zhi quickly followed: "Wen...sister-in-law."

I was not used to the sudden change of words, and I almost called her Miss Wen.

Fortunately, Wen Yiying didn't mind.

"You're back, let's get ready for dinner."

Wen Yiying no longer addressed Yu Zhi as Teacher Yu: "I made two Shanghai hometown dishes. Yu Zhi, you can try my cooking tonight."

Yu Zhi felt warm in his heart: "Okay."

And said obediently: "Thank you sister-in-law for your trouble."

Wen Yiying smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? We are all family now."

After the voice fell, Wen Yiying looked at Suosuo and said softly: "Suosuo, stop pestering Grandpa. Come on, go wash your hands with mom."

Suosuo nodded, jumped off the old man's lap obediently, and went to wash his hands with Wen Yiying.

The rest of the people also got up and went to the restaurant.

Take your seat and eat.

After all the dishes were served, Yu Zhi looked around the table full of delicacies. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but none of the dishes on the table were sweet or sour.

Suosuo insisted on sitting next to Yu Zhi.

After the elders started eating, Suo Suo stood up and stretched out his little hands to fiddle with the turntable on the dining table.

"Auntie, try this pickled pork with preserved vegetables. My mom makes it delicious."

"There are also fried shrimps. Suo Suo will pick the biggest one for you!"

Suosuo acted like a little adult, introducing the dishes and helping Yu Zhi serve them.

Yu Zhi was touched and said, "Thank you, Suosuo." At the same time, he used chopsticks to put food into Suosuo's bowl, "Suosuo, eat too."

"Hmm!" Suosuo sat down again, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.

Although he is young, he has good dining habits.

But when they eat something delicious, their two short legs can't help but shake.

As early as when he was teaching Suo Suo to draw, Yu Zhi thought he was a lovely child.

After further contact today, the cuteness is doubled!

Children who grow up surrounded by love are indeed not stingy in sharing their love with others.

Unlike the last Hongmen Banquet, the atmosphere of today's family dinner was harmonious. With a cute kid like Suosuo present, there was constant laughter and joy at the table.

The old man didn't talk much, and Xu Yaru didn't ask about Yu Zhi's personal matters when she talked to him. She was mainly concerned about him and secondly praised him.

Xu Yaru is indeed just as Meng Yingnian said, without any airs of a big star.

She is very good at communicating with people.

In addition to her personality, it is also because she has been to many places for filming before, and because she has tried various roles, she has rich experience and a wide range of knowledge.

When it comes to Yu Zhi's major, especially things related to art, Xu Yaru can also chat with him for a few words.

At the same time, Xu Yaru is young, cheerful and open-minded. There is no generation gap when chatting with her, and the more you talk, the more you get along.

Yu Zhiyuan was already feeling awkward and helpless, and the time for a meal was almost gone.

Children don’t eat much and can’t sit still after they are full.

Wen Yiying asked the servant to take Suosuo out to play.

When dinner was almost over, the old man, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"Hengze, have you brought the things?"

Yu Zhi was completely confused by the incoherent words.

Meng Hengze glanced at Meng Shi in the corner.

Meng Shi came over with a file bag and handed it to Meng Hengze with both hands.

Meng Hengze took it, pushed it to the old man's hand, and said honestly: "Dad, it's all here."

The old man glanced at him and said, "You didn't make any copies secretly, did you?"

Meng Hengze was embarrassed: "How could it be! Dad, who do you think I am?"

The old man snorted coldly, opened the file bag himself, took out the documents inside and put them in the open.

The four big words "divorce agreement" were clearly visible to everyone.

Yu Zhi recognized it at a glance; this was the agreement he was forced to sign last time.

He didn't understand why the old man suddenly asked Meng Hengze to take out the agreement when the meal was almost over.

Does that mean... he has to divorce Meng Yingnian now?

Yu Zhi's expression gradually turned ugly.

He stared at the divorce agreement, his mind filled with the scene of humiliation last time, his lips pursed and his back tensed.

Suddenly.

A pair of warm and broad hands covered the back of Beta's hands.

Yu Zhi was stunned and looked down.

Meng Yingnian took the initiative to hold his hand.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Meng Yingnian whispered to comfort Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi finally realized that he was not alone this time.

He no longer had to bear the humiliation alone.

If humiliation awaits him ahead.

When he thought of this, Yu Zhi felt as if he had been given a reassurance pill and also as if he had been put in armor.

"Yu Zhi."

The old man called Yu Zhi's name.

Yu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Grandpa, please tell me."

The old man picked up the divorce agreement and said, "This agreement is ridiculous. Coincidentally, everyone in the family is here today, so I'll destroy it."

After saying that, the old man hooked his finger at Meng Shi.

Meng Shi handed the old man a lighter, and another servant waited by the side with a paper burning bucket.

The old man used a lighter to light the divorce agreement in his hand, and after it burned, he threw it into the paper burning barrel.

A wisp of black smoke from the burning rose into the air.

The divorce agreement quickly burned into black confetti.

The servant covered the fire, put out the fire, and went downstairs with the burning paper barrel.

Meng Shi retreated to the corner.

The old man put down his lighter and looked at Meng Yingnian and Yu Zhi. He spoke in an ordinary tone, but every word he said sounded like real support to the two of them.

"You two are already legally married. As elders, we will not interfere in your affairs."

"Husband and wife are one body. Whether we are together or apart, it is up to you to decide from now on."

The old man keeps his word and acts decisively.

After all these operations, Yu Zhi was completely dumbfounded.

Before he could recover, Xu Yaru called him again: "Yu Zhi, come here, grandma has something to give you."

Yu Zhi stood up and walked to Xu Yaru.

At the same time, Meng Shi walked forward carrying a nanmu tray.

On the tray was a small box made of the same material, exquisitely carved, an old jewelry box.

Xu Yaru opened the jewelry box and took out a jade bracelet.

"This is an old item passed down through the generations of the Meng family. When I married into the Meng family, your grandfather's mother gave it to me, and later I gave it to Yingnian's mother."

"The jade bracelets originally came in pairs. A few years ago, when Yingnian's eldest brother and his wife got married, he gave one to your sister-in-law. Now, this one has finally found its new owner today."

Xu Yaru took the silk handkerchief on the tray, placed it on the back of Yu Zhi's hand, then pinched the jade bracelet and put it on Yu Zhi's wrist herself.

Xu Yaru took the handkerchief and put it aside, then held Yu Zhi's hand and looked at him.

Yu Zhi has fair skin, long knuckles, slender wrists, distinct bones and a delicate air.

The jade bracelet came into his hand and quietly wrapped around his wrist. It was crystal clear, like a clear blue wave.

Xu Yaru sincerely praised: "It looks really good, it suits you very well."

The Yu family had been wealthy in their early years, and Yu Zhi had seen some of the world.

This jade bracelet has a warm and delicate texture, is dark green in color, and has a uniform and pure color without a trace of impurities. It has a full and round shape and is full of water.

Yu Zhi had seen a similar jade bracelet when he accompanied Yu Chengkun to a charity auction before.

It seems to be called a full green glass jade bracelet, which is a very precious type of jade bracelet.

The one Xu Yaru gave him was of better texture than the one he had seen at the auction before, and the jade bracelet glowed fluorescently under the light.

Yu Zhi said in panic: "Grandma, this is too valuable, I can't accept it..."

Xu Yaru said, "Silly."

"No matter how valuable an object is, how can it be as valuable as you?"

"Child, don't objectify yourself. Remember, there is only the principle that objects match people, not people match objects."

Xu Yaru gently patted the back of Yu Zhi's hand, her eyes full of love, and said earnestly: "As a human being, you should be aware of your dignity."

Yu Zhi's eyes became moist when he heard this.

It was only his elders who mocked him for being humble and lowly, and having a life as fragile as paper.

But today an elder said he was precious.

Yu Zhi held back his tears and nodded solemnly to Xu Yaru.

"I remember."

"Thank you grandma."
