After hearing this, Qiao Weidong waved his hand confidently.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You and Yingzi both said it was delicious!"
Qiao Yingzi felt that if she let her father continue to get arrogant, it would be a bad situation.
From now on, I'll really be in deep trouble!
So, she timidly said from the side, "Dad, could this be our way of encouraging you?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Weidong immediately lowered his head and became completely withdrawn.
Everyone laughed after hearing that.
Fang Yuan decided to comfort his best friend and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you how to cook properly in the future."
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Qiao Weidong immediately raised his head.
Then, with a serious expression, he said, "That's right, I'll learn to cook properly. If Fang Yuan can do it well, how could I not do it well!"
Fang Yuan's face darkened; he shouldn't have comforted this guy.
Ji Shengli looked at his wife Liu Jing and smiled sheepishly.
Because he was so busy with work, he hardly ever took care of his family.
As for cooking, that's even less of a thing.
After chatting for a while, no one touched their chopsticks.
Since everyone wasn't very familiar with each other, there was still some awkwardness.
After a long silence, Qiao Weidong spoke first.
After all, he's a seasoned businessman who's been through the motions, so he's naturally quite shrewd.
"Old Ji, you're quite something. Say a few words before we start the meal!"
Fang Yuan, who was standing to the side, laughed and joined in the teasing after hearing this.
"Yes, yes, Lao Ji, please say a few words!"
Ji Shengli looked at the two of them, then picked up his wine glass and stood up.
"Since everyone is so kind as to say this, let me say a few words!"
"first……"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Liu Jing, who was standing next to him.
"Alright, stop with the official talk and have a good time during the New Year!"
Ji Shengli paused for a moment after hearing this.
Then, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He shook his head and said, "Sorry everyone, I've gotten used to it without realizing it!"
"I moved in when the kids started school this year!"
"Later, we even discovered that Fang Yuan was also living here."
"It's been so many years since we last met, I never expected it to be such a coincidence!"
After hearing this, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Indeed, it's quite a coincidence!"
Then, Ji Shengli continued, "To be honest, I have felt very sorry for my wife and Yangyang over the years!"
Liu Jing was also stunned after hearing this.
Because Ji Shengli is usually quite serious.
So, normally we just call Liu Jing by her given name; it's surprising that she's being called that today.
"I've been busy with work for so many years, so I've hardly paid any attention to my family."
"It's mostly you who's done all the work for me all these years. Thank you!"
After hearing this, Liu Jing smiled gently.
"It should."
Although her tone was calm, her eyes curved more.
Then, turning to look at Ji Yangyang, he took a breath and said:
"Yangyang, Dad knows you're upset with me."
"That's normal. After all, I haven't cared about you much over the years. Dad wants to say sorry to you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yangyang felt a slight ripple in her heart.
He lowered his head and remained silent.
A flash of disappointment crossed Ji Shengli's eyes, followed by a hearty laugh.
Finally, I wish everyone a Happy New Year, smooth sailing, and good health!
Then he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
After he finished speaking, he sat down.
Fang Yuan's eyes flickered, then he smiled at the group and said, "Alright, Lao Ji has already gone too far. Let's speak freely today."
"It's good that everyone can speak their minds!"
Qiao Weidong suddenly slammed his hand on the table and then said with a smile, "I think it's good too."
A mischievous smile played on Fang Yuan's lips.
"In that case, let's go next, Qiao Weidong!"
Then, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, let's give Old Joe a round of applause!"

"Crack!"
Then everyone started clapping their hands loudly, clearly wanting to see what would happen.
Qiao Weidong's eyes widened, then he stared at Fang Yuan and said, "Why me, and not you?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, then looked at him and asked, "What? Old Qiao, are you afraid?"
Qiao Weidong was very concerned about his reputation, and upon hearing this, he immediately stood up.
"How could I possibly not dare!"
"I'll be the first one, the very first one!"
Fang Yuan smiled; as expected, Qiao Weidong fell for this kind of provocation.
Qiao Weidong dropped his usual playful demeanor and took a breath:
"I've done a lot of stupid things in the past!"
"It actually broke our family apart."
.... 0 .......
"It hurt Song Qian, and it also hurt Yingzi."
"However, our home was rebuilt this year."
"Now, everyone here, be my witnesses. If I ever do anything that would betray this family."
"Then I, Qiao Weidong, am not human."
Song Qian suddenly lowered her head, because her heart had been struck hard.
Her eyes were now filled with tears.
However, someone as strong-willed as her would never let others see through her.
Qiao Yingzi still had a smile on her face.
Although my parents' divorce caused me a lot of pain.
But Fang Yifan was always by her side.
Now that her parents are together, her relationship with Fang Yifan has also progressed further.
So now she feels like she's living in a dream.
I just worry occasionally, what if I suddenly wake up from my dream?
She couldn't imagine what would happen if she suddenly lost everything that belonged to her!
Fang Yifan, who was sitting next to her, noticed that Qiao Yingzi's mood had changed.
He gently reached out and took Qiao Yingzi's hand into his own.
Qiao Yingzi turned her head and looked at Fang Yifan, suddenly feeling much more at ease.
The two turned their heads and saw themselves reflected in each other's eyes.
Fang Yifan looked at the girl in front of him.
Now that she's become my girlfriend, I can't let her get hurt in the future.

Fang Yifan then stood up and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Tong Wenjie glanced at Song Qian beside her, then said with a smile, "Qiao Weidong, we heard what you said."
"If you've done anything to wrong Song Qian..."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Weidong quickly waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "No way!"
Then, Fang Yuan suddenly stood up.
After all, all the men have already spoken out, and I can't remain uninvolved.
So, I gave a slight smile.
"To be honest, this year has been a bit surreal."
"I was originally just coasting along in the legal department of an investment company, but then I went on to have a career."
