Chapter 495 Visiting

Inside the new villa, Wen Xiaorou held Yu Mingyuan's arm and softly introduced him to her family, "Second Aunt, Brother Feng, this is Mingyuan."

"Hello, Second Aunt, Brother Feng," Yu Mingyuan greeted with a smile.

"Such a promising young man," the second aunt said with a smile, looking at Yu Mingyuan with appreciation. "No wonder he was raised in a wealthy family; he looks so full of energy!"

"Hello, I'm Xiaorou's cousin," the second aunt's son said, extending his hand to Yu Mingyuan.

"Hello, hello!"

The second aunt's family behaved very appropriately in front of Yu Mingyuan, and their words were full of praise for him, showing no disrespect on the surface.

After a few words of greeting, everyone sat down and began chatting in the living room.

Before long, a military vehicle stopped in the courtyard. Wen Zhanbo, dressed in his military uniform, instructed the guard to wait outside and entered the hall alone.

"Oh, everyone's here!" Wen Zhanbo, smelling slightly of alcohol, greeted the second aunt and others with a happy expression.

"We're here, we're here. Why are you so late?" the second aunt asked.

"Things aren't peaceful with Lao Mo, so we have to be vigilant here," Wen Zhanbo said, waving his hand as he took off his coat. "Ah, let's not talk about troublesome things. Xiaorou, can you make some tea?"

"Okay, Dad!" Wen Xiaorou got up to prepare the tea.

Wen Zhanbo bent down and sat down, looking at his older sister and asking, "How are you? You've been doing well lately, right?"

"I'm doing well, haha. You have so much white hair now!"

The two siblings sat on the sofa and chatted, while Yu Mingyuan could only pour tea and water on the side, listening to their small talk with a smile.

The Wen family was also a military family. Wen Xiaorou's grandfather was a remarkable man, with nearly fifty years of military service. He joined the army before the Era and fought his way up, eventually retiring as a lieutenant general.

Old Man Wen had a total of four children, the first two being daughters. Only the third child was Wen Zhanbo, followed by a younger son.

During the Great Migration, the eldest daughter, who was in poor health, struggled for more than a month at sea and eventually died of a serious illness on Xia Island. From then on, the old man's health deteriorated. In his later years, he tried his best to support his children, paving the way for his second son-in-law and Wen Zhanbo. As for the youngest son, he didn't want to join the army. Later, he was admitted to a well-known military industrial university and eventually stayed on as a teacher, and he is doing quite well now.

However, at that time, Wen Zhanbo's qualifications in the army were still shallow. Old Man Wen was forcing things to grow, and he couldn't reach the sky in one step, so many of the family's resources were eaten up by the second son-in-law. This is why the second aunt could confidently say that as long as there was an opportunity, she could get her younger brother promoted to general.

The remaining three siblings in the Wen family have always been very close. The second sister also loved Wen Zhanbo, her younger brother, because he was the eldest son and bore the important task of "reviving the family."

Inside the living room of the new house, Wen Zhanbo, perhaps because he had been drinking, or perhaps because he was happy to see his sister, was particularly talkative today. "Second Sister, my son-in-law is really good! In less than two years, he has developed more than 10,000 members for the association. Lao Li also likes him very much."

"Yes, I've heard. He's really promising at such a young age," the second aunt said, carefully looking at Yu Mingyuan. She paused and said, "However, young people must be steady in their work, especially when dealing with people in politics. You have to grasp the measure well, not too far, and not too close."

"Yes, yes!" Yu Mingyuan nodded.

"Mingyuan, there are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you whatever I have to say," the second aunt said with a kind expression and sharp words. "We are... a little different from ordinary families. You see, your aunt is in politics, and your uncle is also in the military, with a higher rank than your father-in-law, and our two families have always had a good private relationship. So when you work outside, you represent more than just yourself... You have to look more and think more with every step you take."

"Yes."

"Lao Li has been in the limelight in the past two years, and there's no problem with us being friendly with him. As the old saying goes, having more friends means more paths, and besides, you're running an association, so you can't get around upper-level connections," the second aunt continued in a "I'm doing this for your own good" tone. "But you have to have a sense of proportion and a bottom line. We can't do anything too outrageous with him."

Yu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Second Aunt is right. I understand what you mean. I'll discuss everything with Xiaorou in the future, and also with Uncle Wen."

"Very good," the second aunt nodded slowly. "Also, our family...!"

"Okay, stop lecturing, haha!" Wen Zhanbo interrupted his second sister with a loud laugh, waving his hand and shouting, "Where's the tea? Isn't it ready yet?"

The second sister glanced at her younger brother, held back for a long time, and didn't say anything more.

The family sat in the living room and drank tea for a while. It was getting late, and Wen Zhanbo had to go to work tomorrow, so he glanced at his watch and stood up, saying, "Alright, you guys rest early, I'm leaving!"

"Aren't you staying at home?"

"No, I have to go back," Wen Zhanbo waved his hand. "Let's have dinner together tomorrow night."

"It's so late, drive safe!"

"Okay!"

Wen Zhanbo picked up his coat and patted Yu Mingyuan on the shoulder. "I'll take your car. You can give me a ride!"

"Okay!" Yu Mingyuan got up.

...

Five minutes later.

A military off-road vehicle followed a private car, traveling at a constant speed.

Wen Zhanbo sat in Yu Mingyuan's car, reached out and lowered the window, and lit a cigarette.

"Uncle Wen, if you're tired, take a rest. It'll be a while before we get there," Yu Mingyuan said with a smile.

In the back seat, Wen Zhanbo looked out the window and suddenly asked, "Mingyuan! Do you love my daughter?"

This question was too sharp, and it shouldn't have come from Wen Zhanbo's mouth, so Yu Mingyuan was completely unprepared and was a little stunned while driving.

"...Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

"When I get in this car, I'm not Commander Wen, nor am I some high-ranking official, just a father of a daughter," Wen Zhanbo's tone was no longer as domineering as usual, and even had a hint of tenderness.

"Of course I love her," Yu Mingyuan replied without hesitation.

"Good, in the future... I will fully support you in your careers," Wen Zhanbo nodded heavily. "Mingyuan, she's married to you, so you must take good care of her."

"Yes," Yu Mingyuan responded heavily.

The two men, one old and one young, only said these few words in the car. The rest was only tacit silence.

...

Hai Shi Police Department.

Su Tianyu drank his coffee and said to Dong Pengyu with a smile, "You're really generous... My brother said that if I had been a little later, you would have sent your wife to Zhang Ming's bed?!"

"It's for survival...!" Dong Pengyu replied with his classic line.
