To be honest, Old Master Lu definitely didn't mean to sabotage us.

He was just joking, so he deliberately lowered his voice so that no one could hear him.

But now many people are listening intently, hoping to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation and have a drink with Ouyang Zhenyu.

Ouyang Zhenyu had arrived, but he was pulled aside by Old Master Lu, and Li Huimin kept him out of the conversation, so naturally he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Some people immediately heard this and couldn't help but feel a bit of flattery.

"Dr. Ouyang, I didn't expect you to know so much about red wine."

"Dr. Ouyang, which flavor of red wine do you prefer?"

If it's something you like, my cousin abroad will find a way to get it for you.

"Dr. Ouyang, I can send you a few bottles!"

"So Dr. Ouyang likes red wine. Oh, right. What flavor does Dr. Ouyang like? I have a way to get some for him."

Upon hearing this, the others were also afraid of being left out, since they needed his help. If they could find out Dr. Ouyang's preferences, they would naturally try to please him.

Old Master Lu, sitting to the side, was embarrassed. Ouyang Zhenyu couldn't tell the origin of the red wine if he opened his mouth.

This is incredibly embarrassing, and he didn't intend for Ouyang Zhenyu to lose face in their family.

Upon hearing this, Li Huimin quickly smiled and said...

"This bottle of red wine is a 1958 Bordeaux. So you like wines from this year, Ouyang?"

This is a veiled way of telling Ouyang Zhenyu the origin and vintage of the wine; anyone with a brain would know how to respond.

Ouyang Zhenyu raised his head and smiled at the two middle-aged men who had just spoken to him.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I don't actually like red wine. I prefer strong liquor."

"However, I don't usually drink alcohol. I'm a doctor, and if I drink, it's easy for me to lose my grip on the scalpel."

"Thank you both for your kindness, but I appreciate it nonetheless."

The two were embarrassed by this; it was obvious that Dr. Ouyang knew nothing.

What they just said wasn't pandering to someone's preferences; instead, it was undermining them.

Both of them wanted to slap themselves for being so rude.

The scene suddenly became a little awkward. Old Mrs. Lu glanced at Ouyang Zhenyu, her eyes showing some displeasure.

How come this young man doesn't understand social etiquette at all?

In this situation, since the Lu family invited him, they are bound to share both glory and loss.

This young man's words offended not only the two people opposite him, but also the Lu family.

It seemed that the Lu family knew absolutely nothing about Ouyang Zhenyu.

He quickly smiled and defused the situation.

"Dr. Ouyang really can't drink alcohol. If such a famous surgeon like him drank, it would be dangerous for his patients. No alcohol, right."

"Zhenyu, eat as much as you like. Xiaomin, put some food on Zhenyu's plate."

Ouyang Zhenyu politely picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and said...

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, thank you for your hospitality. The meal was exquisite and suited my taste perfectly."

Now that we've finished eating, it's time for us to say goodbye.

"Since you have so many guests at home, it's not appropriate for us to stay here."

The scene suddenly became eerily quiet.

Most people wouldn't be so blunt with someone, especially when they haven't even finished eating.

Leaving early is almost tantamount to slapping the host in the face.

Everyone looked at each other, their suspicious gazes falling on Li Huimin and the Lu family patriarch and matriarch, knowing that Ouyang Zhenyu was their future grandson-in-law.

This grandson-in-law must really dislike the Lu family to humiliate them like this, and even if he were the grandson-in-law, he shouldn't have done it.

Yesterday, Li Huimin and Old Mrs. Lu swore that this was Li Huimin's fiancé.

Does this look like a fiancé? He looks more like an enemy.

Li Huimin blushed at these words; he hadn't expected Ouyang Zhenyu to do such a thing.

"Zhenyu, is the food not to your liking? If not, let's go sit in the living room."

I asked our housekeeper to make some of your favorite dishes; I know you like Northwestern cuisine.

At this time, it is crucial to prevent outsiders from assuming that Ouyang Zhenyu and I have no connection whatsoever.

Not only are they unrelated, they're not even friendly.

"Comrade Li Huimin, I am really full, and the food is very much to my liking."

However, we are all here today to enjoy this simple home-cooked meal because we were invited by Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.

Now that we have so many guests, Taoist priest, we've been a bit presumptuous. We've finished eating, so let's leave first!

This way, the old man can also enjoy himself with his guests.

There was absolutely no room for tact in these words.

Grandma Lu's expression darkened slightly, but she tried her best to maintain a smile.

“Ouyang, I have something to say to you this time. Since you’re here, let’s talk later.”

This young man is so ungrateful, but she has to keep him here no matter what.

"So the old lady had something to say to me. Well then, I'll go to the yard and wait for you all to finish your meal!"

Ouyang Zhenyu was puzzled. He had gone to such extremes, and most people probably couldn't bear such humiliation, yet the other party still wanted to keep him.

What exactly does the Lu family want to do?

Just then, someone spoke up.

“Ouyang, what you’re doing is wrong. As your elders, we really can’t stand by and watch.”

You and Xiaomin already have this kind of relationship.

Why are you being so rude to the Lu family?

"Sir, Madam is their elder; isn't what you're doing tantamount to slapping them in the face?"

“Yes, Ouyang, we’ll be family from now on. How can you put Grandpa and Grandma Lu’s dignity like this? You young man are so ill-mannered.”

The two people who spoke looked to be almost sixty years old.

He spoke with a strong fatherly tone from the moment he opened his mouth, clearly satisfying the grandeur of an elder.

Ouyang Zhenyu didn't know where they came from, but he gleaned some clues from their conversation.

He looked up and gave Li Huimin a meaningful look.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I don't quite understand. Are you implying that I have some special relationship with Comrade Li Huimin?"

Li Huimin's face turned red with anxiety; if she were exposed now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Grandpa Lu was now in a bit of a dilemma, but Grandma Lu, quick-witted, hurriedly said with a smile.

"What are you doing? Dr. Ouyang is a renowned surgeon. You're bullying Dr. Ouyang in our own home. What are you trying to do?"

Dr. Ouyang was brought by Xiaomin.

You dare bully Xiaomin's colleague?

Those nearby, upon hearing this, clearly understood that since Old Mrs. Lu had always defended Dr. Ouyang, the two families must have a special relationship.

"Alright, alright. You two have had a bit to drink and you're already a little tipsy, haven't you? Dr. Ouyang is young and promising, but he's a bit arrogant, which is not right."
