"knew."

Jun Ziru, Jun Chengde and Fu Jingwei all stood up, went to the bathroom one by one to wash their hands, and then sat down at the dining table.

The third brother, Jun Chengye, quickly took out a bottle of wine that Jun Ning had brought back and poured a glass for everyone.

Seeing that Jiang Xiuqing and Jun Ning hadn't come out yet, Jun Ziru asked again, "Where are your mom and the others? Are there any dishes left to cook?"

Just then, Jun Ning came out with the last dish, and she responded, "Mom and second brother are washing their hands, they'll be out soon."

After Jiang Xiuqing and Lao Er came out, Jun Ning also went to wash his hands before sitting down at the table.

Seeing that all the family members were present, Jun Ziru happily raised his glass and said to everyone, "Today is a good day. Come, let's raise our glasses together to welcome Xiao Fu. Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered in unison, "Cheers!"

Jun Ning and Fu Jingwei looked at each other and smiled.

Jun Ning also admired him in his heart.

She still remembered that when she mentioned last week that she had a boyfriend and said she would bring him home to meet them, her father and three brothers looked unhappy and were probably thinking about how to make things difficult for Fu Jingwei.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jingwei impressed them with his professional knowledge so quickly when he came, and even made his father, who was always fair and strict, invite him to work in the machinery factory, using the title of senior engineer as bait.

Fu Jingwei passed the test of his parents and brother so quickly, and Jun Ning was happy for him.

Jiang Xiuqing looked at Fu Jingwei and became more and more satisfied.

She kept picking up food for Fu Jingwei and said enthusiastically, "Xiao Fu, these dishes are made by Aning and her second brother. Please eat more. Don't be polite."

Fu Jingwei smiled lightly and said, "Okay, thank you Auntie, I can do it myself, you can eat quickly too!"

Jun Ziru also raised his glass and said to him: "Xiao Fu, we are familiar with each other today. Come, let's have a drink. When you are free in the future, come back and sit with Aning more often."

When Fu Jingwei heard Jun Ziru's words, he was overjoyed.

He raised his glass and clinked it with Jun Ziru, then smiled elegantly and said, "Thank you, uncle. I will definitely come back with Aning more often in the future."

The three brothers of the Jun family also clinked glasses with Fu Jingwei one by one.

But the three brothers warned Fu Jingwei not to let down his An Ning in the future, let alone bully her. If they knew that he bullied An Ning, they would never forgive him! Fu Jingwei immediately promised that he would never betray An Ning in his life, let alone bully her. She could only bully him, and he would always treat her well and love her forever.

After hearing his sincere assurance, the three Jun brothers let him go.

This lunch was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Jun Ning and his second brother the chef worked together to prepare a table full of delicious dishes. By the end of the meal, as expected, everyone was full again.

After lunch, Jun Ning made a pot of spiritual tea for everyone to help them digest their food.

While everyone was drinking tea, Jun Ning mentioned to Jun Ziru the matter of going to Gangcheng to attend the press conference.

"Dad, you must go and have a look this time. I have brought the invitation letter that your cousin gave you. All of our family members have it. If you can go, go. I guarantee that it will open your eyes."

Jun Ziru frowned slightly, "We would like to go, but we're afraid that the higher-ups won't approve it."

Jun Ning reminded him with a smile, "Dad, I will also send an invitation letter to Uncle Zhou Zehai. I will ask him for help to see if he can organize a business exchange group and take you with him. I believe that with him as a provincial leader, it shouldn't be a problem."

When Jun Ziru heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "If Zhou Zehai is willing to organize a business exchange group, then it really won't be a problem."

Jun Ning smiled and said, "By then, President Wen Renbo of Yangcheng Academy of Sciences, who is Fu Jingwei's master chef, as well as his second and third masters, as well as Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu, should also go with you."

Jun Ning nodded, "This press conference should be a milestone, so they all want to go and see it."

Jiang Xiuqing also smiled and said, "It would be better if there were more people. Everyone would have company. And Xiao Fu's grandparents are here too. The parents on both sides can have a good exchange."

Fu Jingwei nodded repeatedly, "Auntie is right. When the time comes, you can have a good chat with my grandparents, and get to know me better."

Jun Ning teased him, "Aren't you afraid that the more you get to know me, the worse my impression of you will be?"

Fu Jingwei smiled confidently and said, "That's impossible! I am the pride of my grandparents, and they will definitely praise me in front of my uncle and aunt."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard him boast so immodestly.

Jun Ning also looked at him speechlessly, "You really are just bragging about yourself."

Fu Jingwei smiled and replied: "No! I am telling the truth."

Everyone laughed again.

They chatted until three in the afternoon amidst laughter and joy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Xiuqing reminded everyone, "We should go to Aning's grandmother's house. Xiao Fu happened to be here today, so let's take him over to show Aning's grandmother and uncles."

Jun Ning asked Jiang Xiuqing, "Mom, have you said hello to grandma?"

Jiang Xiuqing smiled and said, "I've already called your uncle and told him that we will go visit them this afternoon. You don't have to worry."

"That's good."

Jun Ning quietly asked Fu Jingwei, "Do you have any objection to going to my grandmother's house with us?"

Fu Jingwei immediately said, "No problem, absolutely no problem. I would love to be able to show my face more in front of your relatives and friends."

Jun Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's fine if you have no objection."

Today the whole family went out, and everyone went to Junning's grandmother's house.

Jun Ziru, Jiang Xiuqing and Jun Chengde went there in the car driven by Jun Ning.

Jun Chengzhi and Jun Chengye rode their bicycles over there.

The gifts were all ready, so everyone packed up and set off.

Jiang Xiuqing's parents' home is not far from the machinery factory, only about fifteen minutes' drive away.

The Jiang family also has some heritage. The old house of the Jiang family is a typical two-room Xiguan house.

The Jiang family’s ancestors were businessmen, and after several generations of merchants, they accumulated countless assets.

But the ancestors of the Jiang family were very far-sighted. They donated a large amount of property to support the country's founding and also obtained a talisman, which allowed them to enjoy a quiet and stable life in turbulent times.

Jiang Xiuqing's father's generation had given up business and turned to industry, becoming an old engineer at the Yangcheng Iron and Steel Plant.

Her mother was also an employee of Yangcheng Iron and Steel Plant. Now both she and her husband are retired and are enjoying their retirement at home.
