Lu Qingquan and Yue Hongxia were both startled when they saw Lu Mo.

"Lu Mo, you... why are you here?" Yue Hongxia asked in a trembling voice.

“The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so I’ve come to deliver a gift. I hope Second Aunt and Qingquan will do the same?” Lu Mo said casually.

Lu Qingquan gritted his teeth. Lu Mo had really stood up, and he was walking so steadily. His mother hadn't lied to him. Lu Mo would be able to return to the army soon.

Having earned merit in battle and suffered serious injuries, Lu Qingquan would definitely be promoted at least two ranks upon returning to his unit, and possibly even three. The more Lu Qingquan thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and the flesh on his face twitched slightly. He was unable to face Lu Mo calmly.

Yue Hongxia nudged him quietly, and Lu Qingquan finally snapped out of his daze, forcing a smile, "Congratulations, you're finally better!"

Lu Mo took in Lu Qingquan's changing expression and sneered inwardly, thinking that the second branch of the family had disappointed him!

"Thank you. I was hoping that my brother and I could fight side by side in the future, but now..." Lu Mo paused, then encouraged, "Qingquan, don't be too discouraged. There are 365 professions, and every profession can produce an expert. You will definitely be able to achieve success in other industries."

Ye Qingqing quickly lowered her head, almost bursting out laughing. How come she never knew Lu Mo could be so sharp-tongued?

It feels like Lu Mo is a treasure trove; I can discover surprises every few days!

Her mother has such good taste; she managed to win over such a great man from a young age and even got his approval, hehe!

No one can take it away from me!

Lu Qingquan gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. He desperately wanted to rush up and fight Lu Mo, but he didn't dare!

Standing next to Lu Mo was Tie Dan, who was even stronger than an ox and could knock him down with one hand!

"I will definitely achieve something!" Lu Qingquan squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, as if making a vow.

Ye Qingqing curled her lip in disdain, "What a load of rubbish!"

This bastard's future is destined to be spent in darkness, but she has a kind heart and will send Ye Lan to accompany him as he sinks into the abyss, comforting each other!

"Come in and sit down, what are you standing at the door for!" Ye Zhiguo felt increasingly uneasy. If the two continued talking, they might start fighting, so he quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

The old lady called Shen Yanhong to the kitchen to busy herself, while Ye Zhiguo entertained guests in the living room, and Ye Lan and Ye Qingqing sat together.

Lu Mo sat very upright, his back ramrod straight. Ye Zhiguo looked at the epaulets on Lu Mo's shoulders, his eyes stung, and he unconsciously became a little restrained. It was the first time he had realized that Lu Mo was already a major.

To be a major at such a young age, his future is absolutely limitless.

Ye Zhiguo glanced at Ye Qingqing again. If this girl were his own daughter, he would be very happy to see her marry such a capable man as Lu Mo, but she wasn't.

Ye Qingqing's future husband can only be decided by him; someone as difficult to control as Lu Mo is absolutely unacceptable!

Ye Zhiguo exchanged a few polite words, then looked at Lu Qingquan, who seemed somewhat listless. Lu Qingquan was sitting with a slightly hunched back, not at all like a veteran who had just returned from the army. Ye Zhiguo frowned, his disdain for Lu Qingquan growing even stronger.

Ye Lan's health was too poor, and finding Lu Qingquan was barely a good match for her, so he couldn't be too picky about her.

The old lady prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes, and everyone sat down to eat.

Halfway through the meal, the old lady suddenly made a surprising statement to Yue Hongxia: "Now that your son has been discharged from the army, he has nothing to do at home. I think we should pick an auspicious day and hold the wedding banquet!"
