Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

If it were anyone else speaking to Xiao Re in that tone, she would definitely retort without hesitation.

But this person was Lu Yanzheng's grandfather, and an elderly elder. Xiao Re immediately stopped his arrogance and quickly swallowed back the words "old geezer" that were about to come out of his mouth.

I almost choked.

Why did Grandpa Lu Yanzheng suddenly appear? He doesn't seem to know who he is.

What should we do?

Should she host him/her? In what capacity should she host him/her?

Honestly, she didn't really want to interact with his relatives and elders from his hometown. She figured they probably wouldn't like her either.

"Uh... I..."

For the first time in his life, Xiao Re's usually sharp tongue faltered, and he didn't know what to say.

"Um... my bicycle tire is flat, and I was thinking of asking Commander Lu to fix it for me. Since he's not home, never mind!"

After saying that, Xiao Re pushed his bicycle and turned to leave.

But Lu Yanting, who was standing to the side, called out to her.

"Comrade, wait a minute. How about... I take a look for you?"

From the moment Xiao Re entered, Lu Yanting's eyes were fixed on Xiao Re.

He had lived for so many years and had never seen such a beautiful girl.

Her skin is so fair, her complexion so vibrant, and her features so exquisite—she's prettier than all her sisters and sisters-in-law combined.

He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even blink.

"No need, no need. I'll fix it myself!"

Xiao Re just wanted to leave as soon as possible; she didn't want to deal with these two for even a minute longer.

It's best not to let them know who she is. She has absolutely no desire to acknowledge any relatives.

But Lu Yanting grabbed her handlebars, his unwavering enthusiasm making it impossible for Xiao Re to escape.

"It's alright! I'll take a look for you, it won't take any time at all!"

"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!"

"You must be tired. Why don't you come over to my place and rest for a while?"

Xiao was speechless. He thought to himself.

This is my home! If you two weren't here, I would have been resting long ago.

We walked all the way and were so thirsty that we didn't even dare to go in for a drink.

"Hey young man, really, no need! My tire's punctured, it won't be fixed anytime soon. I'll just get a mechanic to fix it tomorrow."

As Lu Yanting examined it, he realized it was true.

"This is your new car, how did you manage to puncture it? It's heartbreaking."

"By the way, my name is Lu Yanting, and I'm the younger brother of Commander Lu Yanzheng. May I ask how I should address you?"

Xiao Re wanted to say, "You should call me sister-in-law."

But in the current situation, she just wants to be a stranger.

"Um... my surname is Xiao, you can just call me Comrade Xiao."

"It's getting late, I really have to go! Thank you!"

Just as Xiao Re was about to escape for the second time, He Yingying, carrying a bag of food, hurried over from not far away.

She was working at a shop near the compound entrance when she suddenly heard from the guards outside that Commander Lu's grandfather and younger brother had come to visit.

I quickly asked my boss for leave, locked the store in advance, and rushed over.

"Grandpa, Yanting, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing He Yingying, Lu Yanting immediately smiled and called out loudly.

"Sister-in-law!"

Grandpa Lu, who was standing to the side, immediately beamed with joy. The wrinkles on his face blossomed into a flower the moment he saw He Yingying.

"Oh my, Yingying's back! Let Grandpa take a good look at you. You've gotten so thin in just over a month!"

"You don't look as good as before. Did that brat Yanzheng bully you? I'm going to beat her up later!"

He Yingying proudly raised her chin and glared at Xiao Re with disdain.

Its provocative nature is self-evident.

See? I'm the Lu family's officially recognized daughter-in-law! My grandfather dotes on me so much, and my younger brother even calls me sister-in-law.

He Yingying really wanted to complain, saying that the person who bullied her was standing right next to her, but she didn't dare to.

After all, Lu Yanzheng hadn't told his family about what Xiao had done.

Moreover, once she tells the truth, the wrong thing she did will be impossible to hide.

Moreover, Xiao Re is no pushover either. If he were to cause trouble without any regard for the consequences, it would have a negative impact on Zheng Ge'er.

This is the military base. Zheng Ge has just returned from a meritorious service, and I heard from others that he will be promoted soon.

She couldn't let this cause trouble for Brother Zheng and affect his future.

She looked at Xiao Re, momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to explain this messy relationship.

"Um... you should be able to tell, this is my grandfather, and this is my younger brother! They are all Zheng-ge's relatives!"

Does this even need an introduction? Xiao Re isn't blind. It's not like everyone has relatives.

She glanced sideways at He Yingying and rolled her eyes.

"Hmm! I can see that!"

Then, there was another awkward silence.

These two women, who usually don't get along, didn't argue at this moment. Instead, they tacitly agreed on the same idea—to keep it a secret for now.

"What do we do now?" He Yingying asked Xiao Re quietly in a low voice.

"You're asking me? How would I know? This is your grandfather, your brother!" Xiao Re's tone was as irritable as ever, but his voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"How about we wait until Zheng-ge gets back before we talk about it?"

"Um!"

The two women rolled their eyes so wide and white that one was bigger than the other, muttering something to themselves.

"Sister-in-law, what are you and Comrade Xiao talking about? Why don't you invite Comrade Xiao in for a seat?"

He Yingying glanced at Xiao Re, who was also looking at her.

The two of them forced out an awkward smile at the same time and then spoke simultaneously.

"Would you like to come in and have a seat?"

"No!"

This is so embarrassing, I feel like I'm going to dig my toes through the soles of my shoes.

"Comrade Xiao, these are all neighbors, please come in and sit down, no need to be so polite!"

Xiao Re tried to force a fake smile, making it as bright as possible.

"Really, no need! I'm not being polite. I have things to do at my farm. I'll go back and take care of them first!"

"Um, please take good care of your grandfather and your younger brother! Thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing Xiao Re's bright smile, He Yingying also stretched her mouth to its widest point.

"It's not hard work at all! It's all part of my job!"

Thank you!

Just as Xiao Re was about to escape for the third time, Lu Yanzheng rushed over, panting.

He was instructing the soldiers on combat techniques at the training ground when his guard reported that his grandfather had arrived. He was terrified, fearing a fire in the backyard, and rushed home in a great hurry.

I was so out of breath that my feet were practically smoking. I'd never run this fast, not even when chasing enemy agents.

As soon as he entered, he saw two women with stiff smiles, rolling their eyes and feigning politeness.

Good heavens, what a bizarre and chaotic scene this is!

Lu Yanzheng opened his hoarse voice and asked.

"Rere, Yingying, are you alright?"

Xiao Re and He Yingying answered in unison.

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm fine!"

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm fine!"

When did these two women become so in sync?

Judging from their situation, Lu Yanzheng guessed that the marriage had not yet been exposed.

They were both keeping it a secret. But he didn't want to keep it a secret.

Lu Yanzheng walked to his grandfather's side and first greeted him respectfully.

"grandfather!"

She glared at Lu Yanting again. "Why did you bring Grandpa here without a word? Grandpa is so old, how can he withstand such a long and bumpy journey?"

Lu Yanting retorted, "It wasn't me who made you come, and I didn't want to either. Grandpa threatened to kill himself, so I had to sneak in. He said he was coming to visit my sister-in-law, but everyone knows he just wanted to come and play at the military base."

"He always says he wants to see how the military is different now compared to the military he served in when he was young!"

"And he said a bunch of unlucky things. He said he'd have a regret if he didn't come to see me.

"What do you think I should do?"
