In the manor's dining room, the whole family sat around a huge table specially made by Ye Ling, big enough to accommodate more than twenty people.

Without a doubt, Elder Mo sat at the head of the table. Even though this was Ye Ling's place, and even with both Ye Tian and Wang Shufen present, there was no question about it.

The old man laughed heartily, holding Ye Ping in his arms. Little Ye Ping had no idea who the old man was and giggled as he tugged at the old man's beard.

Watching them, Ye Ling and the others were terrified, afraid that if they pulled Elder Mo's beard off, it would be terribly embarrassing—at the very least, quite a shock.

But who would have known, Elder Mo enjoyed playing with Ye Ping, laughing heartily, "I always love kids, tsk, this child is really lively. Ye Ling, not bad, not bad, he's got your genes!"

"What do you mean 'he's got'? He is my child, after all."

Ye Ling said helplessly with a smile, while the elder immediately glared, "What? Aren't you happy with a few compliments?"

"Happy, very happy. I wouldn't dare be otherwise, Elder. I'm all ears, all ears!"

Ye Ling hastened to say, and everyone around laughed. There weren't many who could put Ye Ling in his place, but Elder Mo definitely counted as one.

"I really like this child. Ye Ling, how about I take him to the Imperial Capital if it's not a problem for you? Rest assured, I'd treat him as my own great-grandson, and in the future, I'll be the one to choose his path!"

Elder Mo was growing more pleased with Ye Ping the more he looked, and his enthusiasm left Ye Ling momentarily stunned, as Wang Shufen and Ye Tian became anxious.

Could it be? If Elder Mo decided to take another one away, and with two already taken by the grandparents, would only Ye An be left at home?

Ye Ling gave an awkward smile, "Elder Mo, I've already got plans for the child. When he turns one, he's going to a special place for further training."

Further training?

People might believe you if you say further training, but to claim a one-year-old child is going for further training? That's blatantly nonsense.

Elder Mo frowned at this, and just then, Mo Zidao walked in. Seeing everyone at the table, he first froze and then quickly apologized with embarrassment, "I am so sorry, so sorry. I was just in a meeting and arrived late. I'll penalize myself with three drinks later, three drinks."

Ye Tian quickly waved his hand in response, how could they make him take three drinks? What if he had something in the afternoon?

Ye Tian could never have imagined that he would have the chance to sit down and dine with Donghai's number one boss. It was like a dream.

Elder Mo handed Ye Ping to a nanny and then frowned, "Hmph, now that someone has gained a high position, they've begun to act important. Even with me here, he made me wait."

"Let's wait, then. Wait until I die. Will you make me wait for you to bury me too!"

The whole table was suddenly too scared to breathe. When Elder Mo truly got angry, who would dare to talk back? Better not to stir trouble.

Mo Zidao quickly put on a wry smile, "Dad, I was just busy with work, and besides, weren't they here to host you?"

"They? Are they my sons? What did I raise you for, if not to take care of and respect me? If you won't, I may as well let strangers do it. Am I a fool?"

Elder Mo immediately began to grumble, and Mo Zidao quickly gestured, "Come on, Elder. Please calm down. Besides, this is all for you."

"Your arrival has caused quite the stir. I've been on calls all day long, one after another, and I still have to courteously turn people down, afraid they might get the wrong idea."

Mo Zidao rubbed his head. You should know, whenever the old man steps out, everyone in the locality wants a chance to meet him, especially those from the Mo family faction.

"Don't try to fool me. I'm telling you, if it wasn't for Little Ke being pregnant and here, I'd smack you till you couldn't stand, embarrassing you as a father-in-law!"

The elder snapped, grinding his teeth. Ye Ling quickly tried to smooth things over, urging everyone to start the meal and pour the drinks.

Mo Zidao cast a grateful glance at him. When the elder got angry, it didn't matter that he was some big shot. He would just start cursing, and if he really lost his temper, he'd even swing his walking stick.

At the table, the atmosphere was lively and bustling. The men, in particular, drank merrily, especially Ye Tian and Mo Zishu. These two fathers-in-law were really enjoying their drinks.

Ye Ling also frequently toasted Mo Zidao. Now that the elder had spoken and ordered him to drink, if he refused, the elder might truly get upset.

After the women had their fill, they all left the dining table, taking the children with them to chat, especially Li Zhen and Wang Shufen, who held hands and were exceptionally affectionate.

The elder himself, happily having consumed a few drinks, was promptly dissuaded by medical staff from having more. No matter how good the liquor was, it wasn't wise to overdo it.

Especially the elder, advanced in years, couldn't risk any health issues. He was quite receptive to advice and returned to the living room surrounded by everyone, continuing to play with Ye Ping and Ye An.

It wasn't long before Han Weiguo and Ning Guoqiang showed up with their children. They had only been told by Ye Ling to come over and bring the kids, unaware of any particular reason.

But upon entering the house and seeing the elder seated there, Han Weiguo and Ning Guoqiang immediately saluted, as if a green recruit seeing a high-ranking officer on inspection.

Han Weiguo, too, came from a military background, and especially Ning Guoqiang, who used to serve directly under the elder, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Elder, why didn't you tell us you were coming? I would have come to pick you up. How's your health now?"

Hearing Ning Guoqiang's words, the elder smiled contentedly, "I'm in great shape. It's you who's considerate, still remembering this old guy."

"What are you saying, Elder? You've been my commanding officer my whole life, and you'll always be the heaviest in my heart!"

While speaking, Ning Guoqiang involuntarily straightened up, and Han Weiguo was also very excited.

After chatting with the elder for a bit, they were sent off to the dining room, while the elder turned his attention to the four little ones, delighted beyond words.

In fact, he set aside his walking stick and, like a child, sat on the ground to personally play with the four little ones, and people in the dining room could occasionally hear the elder's hearty laughter.

"Tsk tsk, both Zi Shu and Zi Dao are here, eh? Your whole big family is here; looks like you're planning to settle down in Donghai."

With the elder absent, Ning Guoqiang was free from many constraints. He had known Mo Zishu from before, and after many years, he dearly missed him.

On the other side, Han Weiguo felt no restraint either, as he was already acquainted with Mo Zidao even before his daughter married Ye Ling.

"I say, boys, shall we have one?"

Ning Guoqiang held up his glass, and everyone eagerly raised theirs. Ye Ling and Mo Xing also went to lift their cups, but were met with glares, causing both men to abruptly fall silent.

"Taking advantage of the situation, are you?"

There was a creak, and both men were at a loss for words.
