141: Family dinner

Ye Ting and Liu Ying met downstairs at the unit building. Ye Ting took the things from Liu Ying's hand, and they took the elevator up together.

"I'll help you when we get up there."

Tian Feng and Shi Yu also offered to help. Liu Ying's refusal was ineffective, so she agreed to let them help wash and cut vegetables together.

When they got home, Ye Ze and Xu Momo had just finished eating.

Ye Ze: "You bought so much?"

Liu Ying: "A lot of people are coming! Everyone came after your Aunt finished talking."

Speaking of this, she specifically instructed Ye Ting and Ye Ze: "If anyone asks to borrow money, you can't make the decision without me saying anything, understood?"

"Got it!"

"Okay."

Only then did Liu Ying go to prepare the dishes with satisfaction.

At 1:30 PM, Mom's relatives started arriving one after another.

The first ones to arrive were Ye Ze's second aunt's family. Upon entering the house, they were momentarily stunned when they saw the three unfamiliar faces of Xu Momo, Tian Feng, and Shi Yu.

"Oh my, A-Ze, who are these people? Quickly introduce them to your second aunt."

Learning that Xu Momo was Ye Ze's girlfriend, the second aunt immediately beamed with joy: "This girl is really good! She's pretty and has a good temper. You two should treat each other well."

The second aunt's daughter had a decent relationship with Ye Ze. As soon as she arrived, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Ze.

"Brother! I saw the car you bought for aunt and uncle on Moments! It's so cool!"

"Can you take me to the garage to see it later?"

Ye Ze smiled and said, "Okay, Brother will take you down to see it later!"

"Yay! That's great!"

After Liu Ying's family moved, they treated guests to a meal once, but it was at a restaurant outside.

The second aunt's family came and looked at the layout and decoration of the house.

The second uncle exclaimed, "It's truly worthy of being the most expensive neighborhood around here. The inside is indeed nice. Did you decorate it yourselves?"

Ye Ze: "No, it was already decorated when we bought it. My Mom just added some appliances and gadgets she liked."

As they were chatting, the doorbell rang again. This time, it was Ye Ze's very disliked Aunt.

Among Mom's relatives, this was the only annoying one, and everyone disliked her.

Yet, she herself was unaware of this. One moment she'd just disgusted you, and the next, when asking for a favor, she could act as if nothing had happened.

Sure enough, before the Aunt's family even entered the house, they were already greeting them familiarly.

After entering the house, they praised Xu Momo even more excessively, either praising the handsome man and beautiful woman pairing or asking about what job Xu Momo did.

Ye Ze was too lazy to pretend to be polite with her. He didn't even bother with superficial courtesy and didn't greet her at all.

Seeing the Aunt go to chat with Xu Momo, he immediately called Xu Momo to another place.

The Aunt didn't get angry. She sat down and chatted with the second aunt: "Er Jie, did you see the car oldest sister and brother-in-law posted? It's really grand."

"Before, oldest sister's family had the worst conditions, but this time they've really taken off."

The dishes were brought out one after another, and the relatives had all arrived.

Liu Ying and Ye Ting raised their glasses: "Come, let's have a drink, celebrating my oldest Son's successful career!"

"Cheers!"

As soon as they started eating, the topic was once again directed towards Ye Ze.

Ye Ze's maternal uncle spoke up: "Seeing A-Ze so dedicated to studying before, I knew he would definitely do well in the future."

The third aunt also chimed in: "Yes, A-Ze is having success in both his career and love life."

"Not only did he buy a house and car for oldest sister, but the wife he found is also so good."

Towards everyone except the Aunt, Ye Ze was respectful and gave them plenty of face.

Liu Ying was overjoyed to hear everyone praising her Son.

"Yes, seeing him doing well puts my mind at ease."

"Yesterday he even said he'd sign me and Old Ye up for some kind of customized tour group and let us go travel."

The Aunt's husband was also usually good at showing off. He immediately transformed into a know-it-all: "Where does oldest sister want to go play?"

"I've been to many places. Should I recommend some fun spots to you?"

The Aunt also chimed in: "Yes, Old Dong (the Aunt's husband) is busy with work now, so we don't have time to go out and play. Before, we used to go to at least one City every year."

The families of the second aunt, third aunt, and maternal uncle all had very ordinary financial conditions. All the money at home was spent on their children, so naturally, no one had spare money or time to go out and play.

So, no one responded. The Aunt's family immediately felt they had found their home ground and were about to launch into a lengthy discourse.

Just then, Ye Ze interrupted their performance: "It's alright, Aunt, Aunt's husband, no need for introductions."

"My parents didn't really get to go out and play much before because of me. Now that they both have time, I plan to let them visit every place."

The Aunt was stunned for a moment. The Aunt's husband was unhappy about being overshadowed: "Visit every place? Putting the money aside, oldest sister's husband's job wouldn't allow it, right?"

Ye Ting chuckled: "A-Ze and Mo Mo both said they wanted me to enjoy life, so I've already resigned."

Everyone else was surprised. They hadn't expected the brother-in-law, who was always so dedicated to his work, to resign so decisively.

The Aunt immediately interjected: "Yes, although oldest sister's husband's job salary is only half of my husband's, it's still quite a bit. It's a shame to resign."

At this moment, Xu Momo also witnessed how annoying this Aunt's family was.

She tucked the hair near her temples behind her ear: "Is that so? Then what job does the Aunt's husband do?"

The Aunt slightly raised her chin proudly: "He's a director at the hospital. Recently, the ambulance service has also been put under his management, and he gets quite a bit just from extra income each month."

Xu Momo smiled. This family was truly like frogs at the bottom of a well, seeing only a small patch of sky and thinking they were kings.

"Is that so? Is it very profitable then?"

The Aunt's husband also spoke proudly: "I won't go into specifics, but it's quite a lot. The car A-Ze bought, we could also afford it if we save up a bit."

Liu Ying was very displeased and was about to speak.

Just then, she heard her own gentle daughter-in-law speak again. She saw her expression filled with admiration: "Is that so!? Then the Aunt must be very happy!"

"The Aunt's family must also live in a villa, right? A-Ze bought me a villa in one of the four most famous villa districts in A City just to pursue me back then."

"Ah, you can check out my Douyin account. The vlog videos I casually filmed were shot in the villa A-Ze gave me."

As soon as these words came out, the dining table instantly fell silent.

The adults all stopped talking. Liu Ying and Ye Ting had no idea about this, while the others simply couldn't even imagine it.

The second aunt's daughter spoke up: "Sister-in-law, where did you post the video? Is it on Yinfu Software? What's your name?"

Ye Ze and Xu Momo both gave her an approving look. Good kid!

After Xu Momo finished speaking, this oldest younger sister immediately searched on her phone: "Oh my, it's so big!"

"In a place like A City, where every inch of land is like gold, this villa must be super expensive, right?"
