Chapter 167 Bringing the Apprentice Home for Dinner (2/2)



Shaohua glanced at him unhappily, "If I hadn't stopped you, you would have passed out from drinking today! I wonder who you resemble with your drunken streak!"

"Like our father! Our father was often laughed at as a drunkard in the past, hahaha. Third brother must have inherited our father's drinking capacity!" Jiang Dongfang laughed foolishly. Shaohua had never seen Grandpa Jiang. When she got married, the old man had already passed away.

Since they couldn't drink alcohol at night, Jiang Xichen took a wine glass and poured tea into it, then raised it to clink glasses with Jiang Dongfang, "Big brother, you really understand me! It's better for you not to drink and not understand wine!"

Shaohua was so angry that he laughed, "Wine is so good, you'll spend your whole life with wine!"

"Alright, alright! Today is a happy day, we all need to be harmonious. Xiaochuan, go outside and see why your uncle hasn't come back yet!"

Xu Hongping was afraid that the couple would quarrel, so she hurried to smooth things over.

Jiang Huaichuan and Wei were sitting on one side. He stood up and secretly patted the back of Wei's hand, then ran out to see if Jiang Xibei had returned.

As soon as he ran out of the yard, he ran into the two of them.

"Uncle, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he noticed that there was someone following Jiang Qibei. It was already getting dark outside, and it was so dark that he couldn't recognize who it was at first glance.

Ye Jiao hid behind Jiang Xibei. When she heard the familiar voice, she hid even tighter, not even daring to open her mouth to say hello.

Instead, Jiang Qibei directly put his arm around her waist and pushed her in front of him. "Let's go in and eat."

Xu Hongping seemed to have heard their movements outside and stood up to see, "Hey... Fourth Brother, are you bringing the girl back?"

Jiang Qibei's mouth twitched slightly, and he explained patiently: "My apprentice."

Xu Hongping's eyesight was not very good at night, and she rarely interacted with Ye Jiao on weekdays, so it was normal for her to recognize her immediately.

"Oh! It's Comrade Ye Jiao! Come in and have dinner! We've been waiting for you!" Xu Hongping didn't know that Ye Jiao liked Jiang Huaichuan, so she entertained her warmly.

Ye Jiao shrank her head and greeted her nervously, "Auntie, I'm sorry... to bother you..."

Xu Hongping had never seen Jiang Qibei bring anyone home for dinner, so she guessed that he was quite fond of her apprentice, so she gave Ye Jiao enough face. "Don't be polite, just treat us like your own family. You're so thin, so eat more later!"

Ye Jiao looked back at Jiang Bei and saw that he had a gentle smile on his face. Her uneasy heart seemed to be comforted a little.

Jiang Huaichuan and Jiang Qibei were still standing in the yard. Puzzled, he walked over to his uncle and, for the first time, asked in a questioning tone, "Uncle, why did you bring her home for dinner?"

Jiang Qianbei took out his hand and wiped it. This was his habit as a doctor. "You can bring your wife to your home for dinner, so why can't I bring my apprentice?"

Jiang Huaichuan was a little angry, "Don't you know that she... forget it!"

He felt like he had a lot of anger in his stomach but had no place to vent. Wei also knew that Ye Jiao liked him. Today was their wedding day. It would be fine if Ye Jiao had eaten at their banquet at noon, but tonight everyone was together as a family. Ye Jiao's sudden appearance, wasn't this meant to make things difficult for the young couple?

But Jiang Qibei was his uncle, so he couldn't get angry and could only endure it.

In the main hall, Xu Hongping directly arranged Ye Jiao to sit opposite Jiang Huaichuan, and Jiang Qibei sat next to Ye Jiao.

There were two people on each side. Jiang Wanying was not there at the moment. She was in the room with Xu Jiahe.
