"Grandfather, grandpa..." Mrs. Ye had never called him by this name since she was a child, and it felt very awkward to do so.
Elder Cen's eyes welled up with tears when he heard this. "What do you want to ask?"
"How did you remember my father just by a bowl of dumpling soup..."
"Your father always liked the bigger the dumplings when making dumpling soup since he was little, and you inherited his craft well. I recognized it the moment I tasted it."
As Mr. Cen spoke, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Jiang Yuanwai knew that he had a stubborn temper and a strange personality, so he explained to Mrs. Ye on his behalf: "Madam You, you don't know that Mr. Cen had no children in his life. He really raised your father as his own son, hoping that your father would take care of him in his old age and see him to his grave.
"Ever since your father was exiled outside the Great Wall, Old Cen has not adopted any other sons. Now he is old and still lives alone.
"Fortunately, his disciples know how to be grateful and often visit him and take care of him.
"Otherwise, at such an old age, it would be so pitiful to be alone!"
Mr. Jiang's words instantly softened Mrs. Ye's heart.
Soon, Ye Lao Da came over holding Qing Tian. When he entered the room, he saw Mr. Jiang and a strange old man in the room. He was puzzled and walked to stand beside Ye Da Sao and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Qingtian was already hungry at this time because she had been waiting for dinner for a long time. Although she had been holding back and not saying anything, as soon as she saw Mrs. Ye, she immediately started to ask her to hold her.
Ever since Boss Ye entered the room, Boss Cen's eyes seemed to be glued to him, looking him up and down.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is quite tall, and looks strong and sturdy.
Holding a sunny day is as easy as holding a doll.
But the way he is dressed doesn't look like he is rich.
It seems that life at home is quite difficult.
I don't know if it was originally bad or because I fled from the famine...
Besides, Madam You came to Mr. Jiang's place to prepare a banquet, so why did he bring his child along?
Could he be a man who relies on his wife to make money for his living?
…
The more Mr. Cen thought about it, the more worried he became, and he began to dislike everything about Boss Ye.
She felt that he was not worthy of her granddaughter.
Jiang Yuanwai was afraid that he would embarrass the situation that had been finally eased, so he hurriedly asked, "Is Qingtian hungry? It's all my servants' fault for being careless. They sent the dinner that Madam You originally prepared for you to me.
"So I just asked Qiu Wei to call you over so we can eat together.
"It just so happens that Madam You has a piece of good news to announce to you."
Boss Ye was feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at, and when he heard this, his attention was immediately drawn to him.
"What's the good news?"
Mr. Jiang immediately recounted the story of the recognition of relatives.
After he finished speaking, Boss Ye did not immediately show joy or make any comments, but turned his head to look at Mrs. Ye's expression.
The two have been married for many years and often have a lot in common.
Seeing him looking over, Mrs. Ye shook her head slightly, then said to Mr. Cen, "This incident today was really too sudden. I may need some time to digest it..."
Just at this moment, the kitchen brought up the freshly prepared dishes.
Mr. Jiang immediately tried to smooth things over again.
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Sit down and talk while you eat."
Mrs. Ye hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard a gurgling sound in Qingtian's belly. In the end, she hugged her and sat down.
When Boss Ye saw her sit down, he followed her to the table.
Seeing Boss Ye's performance, Boss Cen felt quite complicated.
On the one hand, I feel that he pays close attention to his wife's emotions and moods, but on the other hand, I increasingly suspect that he is a man who relies on women for a living.
In the past, men like this could not hold their heads up when they went out.
However, with the prosperity of maritime transportation in recent years, the atmosphere in the capital has become more and more open.
Ever since the imperial court allowed women to do business and make money, some lazy men have discovered the "business opportunity" and specifically look for such women to marry, and then stay at home and become lazy and idle.
If this is really the case with Boss Ye, then he would definitely not agree.
After Mrs. Ye sat down, she began to take care of Qingtian while she ate.
Boss Ye would put food into her bowl from time to time.
Mr. Cen thought for a moment and began to inquire about Boss Ye's situation, starting with his family and moving on to other people. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "So, who earns more now, you or your wife?"
Boss Ye was taken aback by the question, but he still said frankly and calmly: "She earns more now, but I will definitely work harder in the future."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cen frowned, thinking that what he had worried about had indeed come true.
"So, you are..."
Before Mr. Cen could finish his next words, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but stand up.
"Mr. Cen, if you insist on talking like that, then you might as well skip this meal!"
After saying this, Mrs. Ye walked out holding Qingtian.
Boss Ye quickly put down his chopsticks and chased after him.
Mr. Cen was left on the table, not even realizing that he had said something wrong.
Mr. Jiang put down the chopsticks he had been holding pretentiously, sighed and said, "Mr. Cen, Mr. Cen, what can I say about you?
"I've been following you around, trying to smooth things over for you, don't you feel anything at all?
"I finally gave you an opportunity to sit down, eat, chat, and get closer. It's fine if you didn't take advantage of it, but why are you asking all sorts of questions like you're interrogating a criminal?"
