At 6 p.m., the family had all arrived.

This is the Ye family's rule.

Grandpa Ye told us to come home for dinner. As long as we are in Jiangyang City, no matter what the matter is, we must be back before six o'clock.

There are also rules for seating arrangements during meals.

At a large round table with a diameter of 3.5 meters, Ye Junze and his wife Zhu Wenhua sat in the main seats.

The next generation and their spouses sat on Mr. Ye's side.

The younger generation sat on Grandma Ye's side.

There is a proper order between elders and juniors.

Just as the banquet was about to begin, Uncle Zhong brought in a person from the restaurant: "The stinky outhouse."

He was at his wits' end that afternoon when he overheard Ye Xingyu answering the phone tonight for a family gathering at the Ye family home. He immediately bought some things and rushed over.

"Why are you here?" Ye Xinghe glanced at him, then turned around and felt the intense gaze from her mother, Mu Jinyue.

"Mo Fan is here? Is he looking for He He?" Mu Jinyue asked gently.

"Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, uncles and aunts. My mother just received two thousand-year-old ginseng roots. She said she's too old to use them, so she asked me to bring them over to Grandpa and Grandma Ye. I didn't expect you to have a family gathering today. I'm so sorry to have bothered you. I'll leave the things here and take my leave now," Chu Mofan said politely.

After saying that, he handed the things to Uncle Zhong and made a move to leave.

"Mofan, sit down and eat with us! This isn't a private gathering, let's all have some fun." Old Master Ye gestured to the servants to bring more chairs and tableware.

"You can sit next to Hehe."

Uncle Zhong moved a chair and was about to place it between Ye Xinghe and Ye Xingchen.

"No need for that," Ye Shuang said. "My brother and I will move over to the side, and Brother Mo Fan can sit in my seat."

Ye Xinghe secretly rejoiced.

"You did me a good thing! I don't want to sit between you and the 'stinky outhouse'!"

"Alright, the main purpose of today's gathering is to celebrate my eldest granddaughter, Ye Xinghe, graduating with the highest score in the entire college!" Grandpa Ye said happily. "Let's all congratulate Hehe on our first toast tonight!"

Everyone present raised their glasses in celebration.

Ye Xingchen nudged Ye Xinghe with his elbow, "As expected of my sister! Excellent!"

Ye Xinghe glanced at him, said nothing, and placed a clove of garlic on her second brother's plate.

Chu Mofan picked up his wine glass, facing Ye Xinghe, and was about to speak.

Ye Xinghe suddenly stood up. "Grandpa, may I serve the second glass of wine?"

"Okay, Hehe. You bring it up! What do you want to say?"

"To my family, I want to express my gratitude with this toast. My achievements today are inseparable from their care and support, and from their dedication and upbringing. I wish the Ye family continued prosperity!"

"Well said!" Old Master Ye clapped his hands, raised his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ye Minghan and his wife looked at each other. "Is this still our quiet daughter?"

Chu Mofan then looked Ye Xinghe up and down beside him.

Ye Xinghe was very low-key in college and didn't like to participate in activities.

However, 80% of the students in the school knew her and she was voted the most beautiful girl in the Environmental Art Department, entirely because of her outstanding looks.

Chu Mofan would sometimes flatter her and sometimes belittle and belittle her, which made her timid and lacking in self-confidence.

Today, although it was just a family gathering, Ye Xinghe's words and actions just now had Chu Mofan momentarily lost his composure.

"Grandpa, I have another wish today, and I beg you to grant it." Ye Xinghe held up her wine glass and looked at her grandfather pleadingly.

"Xinghe, let me remind you. Don't get arrogant just because you've achieved a little success!" Grandma Ye, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said sternly.

“These days, there are graduate students and doctoral students everywhere. You’re just a recent undergraduate graduate…” Auntie chimed in.

Jiangnan University, ranking among the top five universities in China and first in the country for its Environmental Art Design program, offers a highly prestigious bachelor's degree.

Grandpa Ye waved his hand and said, "What is your wish? Tell me. As long as it's not illegal, Grandpa can do it, and I'll grant it today!"

Everyone present was shocked; the old man's favoritism towards Ye Xinghe was far too obvious!

“Grandpa, our Ye family has a history of over a hundred years, spanning five generations. I'd like to build a museum dedicated to our Ye family's pharmaceutical business after the Hua Group project is completed. From our great-grandfather's founding of the Ye family pharmacy to the present day, every step of its development will be presented to the world. It will also serve as a memento for future generations of the Ye family!”

"Okay! Grandpa promises you!" Grandpa Ye's eyes lit up, and he greatly admired his eldest granddaughter at this moment.

"After you submit your design proposal to me, as long as the board of directors approves it by a majority, Grandpa will fulfill your wish!"

"Thank you, Grandpa." Ye Xinghe smiled sweetly and tilted her head back to drink the wine in her glass.

Everyone at the table had their own thoughts; some were pleased, while others were envious.

But the only thought that remained the same was: Ye Xinghe seemed like a completely different person.

"Oh, by the way, how are Xiaoshuang's grades?" Aunt Ye Mingmei asked, feigning concern.

"Huh? Our college hasn't released the results yet." Ye Shuang said, burying her head in her food.

"When will the results be released?" Grandpa Ye asked again.

Ye Shuang's eyes flickered; she dared not give her grandfather a perfunctory answer.

"Grandpa, the teacher said our results will be released late this year, and won't be announced until next Monday."

"Okay, Grandpa will be waiting for your good news next Monday! And I'll also keep the promise I made to you sisters!"

"Dad, you can't be biased! You have to grant Xiaoshuang one wish too!" Second Aunt Zhuang Xiuqing saw that the old man was in a good mood today and took the opportunity to curry favor.

"No problem. It seems Xiao Shuang's grades are pretty good too! You can think about what your wishes are this week." Grandpa Ye agreed, his gaze deep and bright, as if he could see right through Ye Shuang.

Two hours later, the family dinner ended.

Before leaving, Ye Xinghe went to the restroom and happened to run into Ye Shuang.

"As your older sister who is a few months older than you, I feel it's necessary to remind you to stay away from Chu Mofan. He's not a good person."

After saying that, he walked away.

Ye Shuang had no idea what she meant and thought she was afraid that she would take Chu Mofan away.

He ignored Ye Xinghe's reminder.

Ye Mingmei's family and Ye Minghan's family went home separately, while Ye Mingqi's family stayed with the elderly couple in the old house.

Just as Chu Mofan was about to call out to Ye Xinghe to say a few words, Ye Xinghe suddenly quickened her pace.

"Brother, why didn't my sister-in-law come today?"

"Oh, she's been sent on a business trip and won't be back until next week."

Ye Xingyu is the only one among the younger generation in the family to be married, having been married for just two years.

"Why would a kindergarten teacher go on a business trip?" Ye Xinghe questioned. "Brother, don't just focus on work. Promotion is important, but you also need to take care of your family and spend more time with your wife."

"Okay, I understand. Our Hehe has really grown up and knows how to care about her older brother." Ye Xingyu patted her head, said goodbye to his parents, and turned to leave.

Ye Xinghe watched his retreating figure, feeling deeply moved.

"My elder brother is a good person, but he was unlucky in love. I hope everything goes well for him in this life."

At this moment, Chu Mofan seized the opportunity and walked over.
