"Hello uncle, I'm Gu Jingming."

Gu Jingming spoke first. Ye Qingtao was a little surprised at first when she didn't hear him call her dad, but then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Gu Jingming."

Ye Yongjin responded and pushed the door open and walked in.

When he gets home, he likes to sit on the wooden sofa for a while, drink some tea and close his eyes to rest.

Now Gu Jingming was sitting in the place he usually liked to sit. He was too embarrassed to ask him to leave, so he could only stand there.

"Gu Jingming, please sit over there."

Ye Qingtao pointed to another seat. Gu Jingming didn't understand why but sat there anyway.

Ye Yongjin sat back on his throne with a smile on his face.

If he had seen correctly just now, Gu Jingming's daughter was quite respectful and somewhat listened to her.

This doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

"Qingtao, we have guests at home today, go buy dad a bottle of wine."

Ye Qingtao knew clearly that her father was going to send her away to start checking her household registration.

"Uncle, I brought a few bottles of wine with me this time. Which brand do you like? I'll bring it to you often in the future."

Gu Jingming opened the bag of wine, and several bottles of beautifully packaged fine wine appeared before his eyes.

These are the wines that Ye Yongjin usually wants to drink but is reluctant to buy.

The young man in front of him was so generous that Ye Yongjin felt like he was dreaming.

Ye Yongjin raised his head and was about to continue speaking to Ye Qingtao.

It was obvious that he didn't want her to stay, so Ye Qingtao quickly held her forehead and walked towards the room.

"Dad, my head still hurts a bit, so I'm going back to my room to rest. You guys can chat slowly."

As soon as Ye Qingtao closed the door, Ye Yongjin couldn't wait to start asking questions.

"On my way home from get off work, I heard from a colleague that I have a son-in-law. I want to know what's going on?"

Ye Yongjin went straight to the point, and Gu Jingming quickly recounted what happened at the wedding.

"So that's what happened. What are your plans now?"

After understanding the basic situation, Ye Yongjin began to check the household registration.

"Where are you from? How many people are there in your family? What do your parents do?"

"I am a local. I have a father and a grandmother. My father runs his own business."

Gu Jingming answered each question clearly and logically.

Gu Jingming's situation sounds very good. His family is simple and his life is guaranteed.

"What about you? What's going on?"

"I have been in the army for ten years. I am now a minor officer. My work is quite busy and I often have to carry out missions."

"Ten years in the army? How old are you then?"

Ye Yongjin's brows furrowed even deeper. Gu Jingming looked tall and handsome, and although he was calm, he did not look old.

Now tell him that he has been in the army for 10 years, so he must be in his thirties now, right?

His daughter is only 20 years old after the Chinese New Year, and she is marrying a man in his 30s. Even if the other party's conditions are good, Ye Yongjin still can't feel happy.

“I am 28 years old.”

Gu Jingming knew that Ye Qingtao was young, and he felt a little guilty when he talked about this.

Sure enough, Ye Yongjin's already dark face turned even darker than charcoal.

"28 years old this year? That means you're 29 after the New Year? My daughter is only 20 years old, and you're 9 years older than her!"

"You beast! She's so young, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"

"I don't agree with this marriage. You can take the things back. You can also take this wine back. I, Ye Yongjin, cannot afford it."

The age gap between the two is too big. An old man and a young wife, conflicts are inevitable after being together for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate.

If he knew that Gu Jingming had injured her foundation, and his daughter might become a widow after marrying him, he would never agree even if he was beaten to death.

After Ye Qingtao entered the room, she had been sticking to the door and eavesdropping. Now, seeing the two people's conversation broke down, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Gu Jingming stood up awkwardly, but fortunately Zhu Guihua came out with the dishes and kept him staying.

"So what if he's eight years older? Men are more caring when they're older!"

Zhu Guihua put down the dishes and dragged Ye Yong into the kitchen. She lowered her voice and spoke.

"What's the point of you disagreeing? I don't agree yet, but our daughter is willing. What can you do to her?"

"Lu Yunchuan is young and handsome, but what's the point if he doesn't like our daughter? Our daughter has finally come out of this, can't you just give in to her for once?"

"Marriage is a big deal, how can you let me obey?"

Ye Yongjin stamped his feet in anger, and Zhu Guihua stuffed a plate of food into his hands.

"Don't rush to make a decision. Let's talk about it after dinner. Is that ok?"

Ye Yongjin was so angry that his head was smoking, but seeing that what his wife said made sense, he managed to keep his emotions under control and forced himself to calm down.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time. I'll ask my daughter what she thinks and then make a decision."

Ye Yongjin suppressed the anger in his heart and brought the dishes to the table.

Zhu Guihua has good cooking skills and made a lot of delicious dishes today.

The meal was a bit dull as everyone in the family had their own thoughts.

After dinner, Ye Yongjin took Ye Qingtao into the room, and Zhu Guihua stayed to accompany Gu Jingming.

"Qing Tao, are you really going to marry that old man?"

Ye Yongjin's voice was a little hurried, and the first sentence he said after closing the door made Ye Qingtao unable to respond.

"Dad, you know my current situation. Even if I stay at home, you and mom will force me to get married and have children."

"I used to like Lu Yunchuan, but now I don't. I think Gu Jingming has some flaws, but his merits outweigh them. It's the most suitable person for me to marry him in my current situation."

"Unless Dad wants to go to Lu Yunchuan's house to propose marriage on my behalf, then I can give up marrying Gu Jingming."

Ye Qingtao turned her back and curled her lips in a smile, which made Ye Yongjin so angry that he jumped to his feet.

"Lu Yunchuan treats you badly, and his father is not a good man either. It's better for you to marry a beggar than marry him!"

"Is Gu Jingming worse than a beggar?"

Ye Qingtao's soul-searching question left Ye Yongjin completely speechless.

"You stay in the room. I'll go out and ask about the situation. If Gu Jingming is really a good person, this matter can be discussed."

Ye Yongjin always felt that his daughter was smart and beautiful, and that neither Lu Yunchuan nor Gu Jingming were worthy of her.

But if he had to choose one between the two, he would still prefer Gu Jingming.

Lu Yunchuan's attitude towards his daughter was hot and cold. He often made fun of her and made her lose face in the family compound.

A man who truly cares for and loves a woman will never let the woman he loves get hurt.

Lu Yunchuan had the heart to treat her like this, it was obvious that he didn't love her.

When Ye Yongjin went out, Zhu Guihua was chatting with Gu Jingming.

The two of them are obviously not from the same class, and sometimes what they say is irrelevant.

But miraculously, they got along very well and became happier and happier as they talked.

Ye Qingtao initially planned to eavesdrop, but the questions they asked became more and more boring, and she could no longer listen.

Ye Qingtao lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and soon there was a knock on the door.

Ye Qingtao rubbed her eyes, got up and opened the door, and saw Gu Jingming standing at the door of the room with a smile on his face.

"My parents have agreed to our marriage. I will pick you up the day after tomorrow to go to the amusement park in the provincial capital. I also have something else to discuss with you."
