The sun was already well up in the sky and had become blistering when Ye Feng and Jiang Ying finally got up from bed and went downstairs with reluctance.

Descending from the upper floor, they saw that the Jiang family had been waiting in the dining room for quite a while.

Although it was already past 10 o'clock, the members of the Jiang family had not started their meal without Ye Feng and Jiang Ying; they patiently waited without a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces.

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback by everyone's gentle expressions.

Yesterday, he had come close to beating Jiang Lanlan and a few others to a swollen state. Logically, they should have harbored resentment against him, but now, they not only showed no sign of holding a grudge, but each of them wore a respectful and kind expression.

"What's going on here?"

Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled. However, since these people were Jiang Ying's relatives and were willing to get along peacefully with him, he was naturally happy about it:

"Good morning, everyone!"

Ye Feng greeted everyone and then took a seat next to old Mr. Jiang with Jiang Ying.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's greeting, everyone's mouths twitched slightly, and especially after noticing Jiang Ying's blushing, beautiful face, each one of them had a teasing look in their eyes.

"You two youngsters should have slept a bit more! It's still early!"

Jiang Lantao, who had been quiet before, now had a full smile on his face as he spoke warmly to Ye Feng.

It wasn't just him; Jiang Lanlan, Mrs. Jiang, and even the little monkey, each one of them had a kind smile on their face, as if the previous day's grievances with Ye Feng had completely disappeared.

Ye Feng was slightly stunned, then shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I've always liked to get up early!"

Uh...

Hearing this shameless remark, the crowd was somewhat speechless.

You like getting up early, my foot! It's almost 11 o'clock now, what kind of early bird are you!

Even though the crowd felt Ye Feng was being nonsensical, they had all been warned by old Mr. Jiang, so each of them nodded in agreement with a smile.

Jiang Ying also couldn't understand why her relatives had changed their attitudes so drastically overnight. Especially her mother, who now looked at Ye Feng the way a mother-in-law would look at her son-in-law, with increasing fondness.

However, Jiang Ying was naturally overjoyed by this change in her family members, and her pretty little mouth was brimming with a happy smile.

"Alright! Now that everyone's here, let's start the meal!"

Old Mr. Jiang, exceptionally pleased with the way Jiang Lantao and the others were treating Ye Feng, chuckled and then invited everyone to have breakfast.

This meal was enjoyed in harmony, even closer than a real family would be!

Especially since the Jiang family members accepted Ye Feng, they discovered that he really had many strengths. Particularly during breakfast, his explanations of rational dietary methods, ingenious food pairing principles, and many other details about eating habits immensely benefited everyone in the Jiang family.

What pleased them even more was that during the meal, Ye Feng almost helped each Jiang family member come up with a reasonable and healthy dietary plan, which greatly improved their impression of him!

Old Mr. Jiang watched everything with a smile, feeling extremely content. After breakfast, he handed an invitation card to Jiang Ying and Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, Jiang Ying! This is an invitation card that Qi Jian sent over this morning, inviting the young members of the Jiang family to the Mingzhu social gathering tonight! Right now, your uncle's kids, Jiang Jian and Jiang Yu, are abroad and can't make it back, so it will have to be you and Ye Feng, along with the little monkey, to attend!"

The social gathering was actually a get-together for the offspring of the influential to network and build connections.

The entry requirement for such a gathering was very high, and ordinary people didn't even qualify to enter.

In a big city like Mingzhu, only the offspring of the Four Great Families and a few other major families were eligible to participate.

Moreover, the initiator of such gatherings was usually a young and influential figure.

Especially at previous Mingzhu social gatherings, many significant figures in the political and business worlds emerged, climbing to the peak of their lives by leveraging the networks they built at the gatherings.

It could be said that the major families of Mingzhu placed great importance on the social gatherings because it was the most effective and direct way for their younger generation to expand their connections!

"This time, the social gathering is initiated by Wan Shaoling of the Wan Family. Ever since he returned from studying abroad, he has been managing most of the Wan Family's enterprises. Even the elders in the Wan Family have to act according to his whims. He's indeed a formidable character!"

At this moment, old Mr. Jiang addressed Jiang Ying:

"The Wan Family and our Jiang Family are both among the Four Great Families of Mingzhu, and we have never been on good terms. Especially that time when Wan Shaoling pursued you and was kicked in the groin by you, nearly costing him his life! If you decide to go, be careful as he might give you trouble!"

Upon hearing old Mr. Jiang's words, Ye Feng was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Jiang Ying to have such a glorious record of nearly kicking someone to death.

Noticeable excitement twitched at the corner of Ye Feng's mouth, which earned him a stern glare from Jiang Ying, her cheeks flushing slightly.

During her school days, she was a scholarly goddess with countless suitors, including many offspring from the other Three Great Families, such as Qi Jian, Wan Shaoling, and Zhang Xuebing of the Zhang Family.

However, among Jiang Ying's previous suitors, Wan Shaoling had been the most successful, standing out among his generation in the Four Great Families.

Jiang Ying felt uneasy; she didn't like attending such gatherings, as they were often filled with the smell of money, people connecting with one another for personal gain.

However, with her uncle's children abroad and her absence would make the Jiang Family appear weak among the Four Great Families, she found herself in a difficult position.

"Ye Feng, shall we go?" Jiang Ying turned to Ye Feng for his decision, ready to follow his lead—she'd attend if he wanted to go, and she wouldn't if he didn't.

Seeing Jiang Ying's look, all the members of the Jiang Family also turned their gaze towards Ye Feng. At that moment, it was as if Ye Feng had truly become the son-in-law of the Jiang family.

Ye Feng, who had finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth, then seeing everyone's expectant expressions, he smiled faintly and nodded decisively:

"Let's go! Let's see what sort of people Mingzhu City has to offer!"
