In the new villa, Wen Xiaorou took Yu Mingyuan's arm and softly introduced him to the family members: "Second aunt, Brother Feng, this is Mingyuan."
"Hello, Second Aunt, Hello, Brother Feng." Yu Mingyuan greeted with a smile.
"What a handsome man." Second Aunt smiled broadly and looked at Yu Mingyuan with admiration, saying, "As expected of a child raised by a wealthy family, he looks very energetic!"
"Hello, I am Xiaorou's cousin." The second aunt's son stretched out his hand towards Yu Mingyuan.
"Hello, hello!"
Second Aunt's family behaved very properly in front of Yu Mingyuan, and the latter was full of praise in their words, without appearing to be rude at all.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone sat down and started chatting in the living room.
Not long after, a military vehicle stopped in the yard. Wen Zhanbo, wearing a military uniform, told the guards to wait outside and walked into the hall alone.
"Oh, everyone is here!" Wen Zhanbo was drunk and greeted Second Aunt and the others with a happy face.
"We're here, we're here. Why are you so late?" asked the second aunt.
"Old Mexico is not peaceful, so we have to cheer up here." Wen Zhanbo took off his coat, waved his hand and said, "Well, let's not talk about the bad things. Xiaorou, make some tea."
"Okay, Dad!" Wen Xiaorou got up to prepare tea.
Wen Zhanbo bent down and sat down, looking at the old sister and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling well recently?"
"It's pretty good. Haha, you have so many white hairs now!"
The brother and sister sat on the sofa and started chatting, while Yu Mingyuan could only serve tea and water and listen to their greetings with a smile.
The Wen family is also a military family. Wen Xiaorou's grandfather is very powerful. He has been in the army for nearly fifty years. He joined the army before the beginning of the era and fought hard all the way. He finally retired with the position of lieutenant general.
Mr. Wen has four children in total. The first two were daughters. Wen Zhanbo was born with the third child, and he also had a younger son later.
During the Great Migration, the eldest daughter, who was in poor health, was at sea for more than a month and eventually died of a serious illness on Xia Island. Since then, the old man's health has deteriorated. In his later years, he also tried his best to support his children and paved the way for his second son-in-law and Wen Zhanbo. As for the youngest son, he did not want to join the army, and later he was admitted to a well-known military university, and eventually stayed on to teach, and is currently doing well.
However, at that time, Wen Zhanbo had little experience in the army, and the old man was trying to force him to grow, so he couldn't achieve success overnight. Therefore, many family resources were taken up by the second uncle. This is why the second aunt could vow that as long as she had the chance, she could make her brother a general.
The three remaining sisters in the Wen family have always been very close to each other. The second sister also loves her younger brother Wen Zhanbo very much. After all, he is the eldest son and shoulders the important task of "reviving the family."
In the living room of the new house, Wen Zhanbo was talking a lot today, perhaps because he had drunk some wine, or perhaps because he was happy to see his sister: "Second sister, my son-in-law is really good! In less than two years, he has developed more than 10,000 members for the association, and Lao Li likes him very much, too."
"Yes, I heard about it. He is really young and promising." Second Aunt looked at Yu Mingyuan carefully, paused and said, "However, young people must be cautious in doing things, especially when interacting with people in politics. They must grasp the right scale and not be too far away or too close."
"Yes, yes!" Yu Mingyuan nodded.
"Mingyuan, there are no outsiders here, I will tell you what I have to say." Second Aunt had a kind expression but sharp words: "We are different from ordinary families. Look, your aunt is in politics, and your uncle is in the army, with a higher rank than your father-in-law, and our two families have always had a good personal relationship, so when you do things outside, you represent more than just yourself... Every step you take, you have to look more carefully and think more."
"Yes."
"Lao Li has been very popular these past two years, so it's no problem for us to make friends with him. As the old saying goes, more friends mean more options. What's more, you are in an association, so you can't avoid the connections with the upper echelons." Second Aunt continued in a "I'm doing this for your own good" tone, "But we must know when to get along with him, and we must have a bottom line. We can't do anything too extreme with him."
Yu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Second Aunt is right. I understand what you mean. If there is anything in the future, I will discuss it with Xiaorou and Uncle Wen."
"Very good." Second Aunt nodded slowly: "Also, our family...!"
"Okay, don't go to class anymore, haha!" Wen Zhanbo interrupted his second sister with a big laugh, waved his hand and shouted, "Where's the tea? It hasn't come up yet?"
The second sister glanced at her brother, and after a long moment of silence, she didn't say anything more.
After the family sat in the living room and drank tea, it was already late. Wen Zhanbo had to go to work tomorrow, so he glanced at his watch, stood up and said, "Okay, you guys go to bed early, I'm leaving first!"
"Don't you live at home?"
"No, we have to go back." Wen Zhanbo waved his hand: "Let's have dinner together tomorrow night."
"It's so late, slow down!"
"good!"
Wen Zhanbo picked up his coat and patted Yu Mingyuan on the shoulder: "I'll take your car, you give me a ride!"
"Okay!" Yu Mingyuan stood up.
…
Five minutes later.
A military off-road vehicle followed a private car, driving at a constant speed.
Wen Zhanbo sat in Yu Mingyuan's car, lowered the window and lit a cigarette.
"Uncle Wen, if you are tired, just take a rest. We still have to wait for a while before we get there." Yu Mingyuan said with a smile.
In the back seat, Wen Zhanbo looked out the window and suddenly asked, "Mingyuan! Do you love my girl?"
These words were too sharp, and shouldn't even come from Wen Zhanbo's mouth, so Yu Mingyuan was completely unprepared and was a little dazed while driving.
"...Uncle, what do you mean?"
"When I get into your car, I'm not Brigade Commander Wen, nor am I a high-ranking official. I'm just the father of a daughter." Wen Zhanbo's tone no longer had the domineering tone of the past, and even had a hint of tenderness.
"Of course I love her." Yu Mingyuan replied without hesitation.
"Okay, in the future... I will fully support you in your career." Wen Zhanbo nodded heavily: "Mingyuan, she married you, you have to take good care of her."
"Hey." Yu Mingyuan responded heavily.
The two men, one old and one young, only said these few words to each other in the car, and the rest was just a tacit silence.

Marine Police Chief.
Su Tianyu drank coffee and asked Dong Pengyu with a smile: "You are... quite generous... Your brother said that I would go a little later, and you sent your wife to Zhang Ming's bed?!"
“For a living…!” Dong Pengyu gave a classic reply.
