Ye Zhenzhen watched them chatting and laughing, feeling as if she was superfluous. Why had Ye Qiao suddenly changed her ways? Her daily pleasure in coming to the General's Building was to watch this country bumpkin make a fool of himself! Now, the girl across from her was no longer a country bumpkin!

"Grandpa, I'm done eating. I'm going upstairs to do my homework!" She deliberately emphasized the three words "homework" to let the old man feel how hard-working she was, unlike the poor student opposite her who always had the worst grades!

"Okay, okay!" The old chief of staff just said it twice kindly.

Looking at the gray-haired old man, Ye Qiao was filled with emotion and sadness. In her previous life, the person who treated her best in the Ye family was none other than him. She remembered that before she got married, the old man had gifted her two properties and all his life savings.

It was all her fault for being stupid. She sold the two properties and invested the money in Shen Xichuan and Li Yun's business, and later lost everything.

In her previous life, she had always resented everyone in the Ye family, including the old man in front of her.

In the 1970s, her biological father, Ye Shengxun, was sent down to the countryside in northern Jiangsu, her former hometown. There, he met her biological mother, Qiao Yi, also a sent-down youth. The two young people, alone in a foreign land, appreciated each other and fell in love.

Later, Ye Shengxun returned to the city first and the two lost contact. Qiao Yi died of complications during childbirth in the countryside, leaving Ye Qiao to be adopted by a family with the same surname Qiao.

When Qiao Yi was dying, he repeatedly asked the Qiao couple to contact Ye Qiao's biological father in the future.

When she was 12 years old, Ye Qiao returned to the Ye family and clearly felt that she was not welcome. As an illegitimate daughter, she was a stain on such a powerful red family.

"Qiao Qiao, you will be in your third year of high school when school starts. This is the most crucial year, so you must make the most of it!" Normally, Chief of Staff Ye would never dare to advise his granddaughter with such a weird temper!

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will study hard! My goal is to go to J University!" Her face was full of ambition and confidence from the heart, which made the skeptical old chief of staff feel a little convinced.

He knew her grades. Not to mention J University, even the worst junior college would have a hard time getting her!

The old chief of staff still gave an encouraging smile and nodded.

In her previous life, she did terribly in the college entrance examination, and it was her grandfather who used his connections to get her into a third-year undergraduate program at a fake university, where she just muddled through.

Due to an accident in college, she was forced to marry Lu Beixiao. Thinking about that accident, she now thinks it must have been Li Yun's doing!

But Li Yun never expected that the man that night would be Lu Beixiao!

——

In the quietest southeast corner of the military compound sat several small, two- or three-story Western-style buildings, each with its own entrance and courtyard. These were the homes of several former military commanders, known as the Generals' Building. Lu Beixiao's grandparents also lived there, and they were neighbors with Chief of Staff Ye.

Elder Commander Lu, who was trimming bonsai in the yard, watched his eldest grandson walk toward the next yard. He called over guard Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, look, am I dazzled or what? Is that that bastard Lu Beixiao?!"

"Commander, you are not dazzled, that is Master Xiao!"

"After serving as a soldier for two years, he couldn't even find his ancestral home! What kind of a soldier was he?!" said the old commander Lu angrily.

"Commander, Young Master Xiao is this year's all-around soldier king!" Guard Xiao Zhao spoke with admiration.

"What happened to the Three-Amphibious Soldier King?!" Old Lu said proudly, his heart naturally filled with joy. When he received the report call from the captain of the special brigade, he almost rushed out to fire a gun in celebration! He wanted to let everyone in the compound know that his grandson, Lu Jingtian, was no longer the devil that everyone avoided!

The three-in-one soldier king is the highest honor that every soldier yearns for!
