Guan Hongqi immediately stood up straight and gave a somewhat awkward salute. "Yes."
The way he placed his hands was wrong, which made everyone present laugh.
Grandma He then looked at Guan Wenru and said, "Wenru, Yanzhi is playing ball with the boys in the yard right now. He can't come back all year round. This time he came back from his vacation and it was not easy for him to see his friends. He didn't know you were coming, so he wasn't waiting at home. Please don't blame him."
Guan Wenru was very understanding. "Grandma, he mentioned it to me yesterday. He only has a few days of vacation left, so he really should get together with his friends. I'm going to join the army anyway, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time together. There's no rush."
Grandpa He and Grandma He exchanged a glance, a fleeting look of guilt in their eyes.
Guan Wenru was clearly lying.
They knew He Yanzhi's personality better than anyone else.

Guan Hongqi didn't notice anything amiss and nodded. "It's all done, brother-in-law. Wait for me to practice, and I'll challenge you to a one-on-one duel later."
Everyone: "..."
Young man, you've got quite the big mouth!
He Yanzhi, who had been keeping a tense expression, smiled upon hearing this. "Alright, then you'd better practice hard. I won't go easy on you just because you call me 'brother-in-law'."
Guan Wanxin noticed that after he entered the room, his gaze did not fall on Guan Wenru's face.
She frowned slightly, but seeing her granddaughter's open and honest expression, she didn't expose her and continued to pretend to be blind.
