A bowl of braised meat settled in his stomach, and Jiang Feng immediately felt a lot more at ease.

What he didn’t know was that while he had become calm, Jiang Jiankang, who had been squatting secretly at the kitchen door watching Jiang Feng eat his portion of meat, was anything but.

As soon as Jiang Feng got off the plane, he asked Jiang Jiankang to buy him pork belly, and as soon as the pork belly was bought, he immediately sought a hotel kitchen to make braised meat. Jiang Jiankang had nothing better to do and thought that Feng was going to showcase his culinary talents in front of his future father-in-law, so he squatted at the kitchen door to observe closely.

Jiang Jiankang didn’t expect that what Jiang Feng made was not something delicious, but the plain water braised meat that made every Jiang Family member shiver at the mere thought.

Which iron-boned, over two-hundred-pound man of the Jiang Family didn’t go weak in the knees at the sight of braised meat? Jiang Jiankang, squatting at the kitchen door too far to catch the scent, was trembling just at the sight of the whole bowl of braised meat in Jiang Feng’s bowl.

Then he shivered as he watched Jiang Feng wolf down a pound of braised meat in one go, and after finishing, burped with an eagerly unsatisfied expression—pained yet satisfied, despairing yet joyful, so twisted it made him wonder if his son had lost his senses from being too nervous.

Jiang Jiankang slipped away, retreating to his room to discuss his son’s mental condition with Wang Xiulian.

Soon, thanks to Jiang Jiankang’s big mouth, the news that Jiang Feng had eaten a pound of braised meat for dinner spread. Not only did Wu Minqi and the two senior sirs know about it, but even Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian, who had just arrived at the hotel and hadn’t even finished unpacking their luggage, were aware of it.

Jiang Weiming was now a genuine centenarian, a man of over a hundred years old, and even he couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard about it, laughing as he said to Jiang Weiguo, “In these past two years, I thought Feng had become a lot steadier, but it seems he’s still as impulsive as ever. What’s he doing suddenly eating a pound of braised meat for?”

Jiang Weiming had never seen it, but he had heard about the power of braised meat.

“Who knows why he suddenly decided to eat braised meat.” Sir said, recalling out of the blue the braised meat he had faced when he first visited his in-laws.

That was truly one of the most frightening memories of his life.

The Jiang Family members were all curious, but the only one who actually voiced the question was Wu Minqi.

Wu Minqi hadn’t been home for half a year, and even though she was back for the engagement, the first thing she did when she got home was talk to her parents for most of the day. So after leaving the airport, the Jiang Family Members and the Wu Family Members actually took separate routes, and it was only close to dinner time that Wu Minqi came to the hotel to pick up the Jiang Family for dinner at her home.

Although tonight’s meal was said to be a casual one, with the formal engagement banquet scheduled for tomorrow, it was tonight’s dinner that was truly significant. Tonight’s dinner was the formal meeting of the in-laws, while tomorrow’s was the engagement banquet.

The Wu Family had many relatives, and aside from those who were so distant that it was hard to connect with them, it was really difficult to distinguish between the rest in terms of closeness. Even if some were closer than others or not much in contact, they all had to be treated equally for the engagement; everyone who should be invited had to be invited.
