Grandpa Su looked up and glanced at Yuan Yi.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Do I answer calls from anyone?
Commander Hou, you say so, right?
Yuan Yi was speechless as he looked at Old Master Su's expression.
First impressions are really important.
He was a proper officer in the People's Liberation Army, but because he was young, he had an extra certificate.
So they were immediately labeled as scammers?
These are two officer's certificates, and I haven't even joined the army or the navy yet.
Once I've been to those two places and have all four military officer IDs, how would you classify me?
A fake document dealer who specializes in making fake documents?
However, I, Yuan Yi, can understand that his situation is indeed rare in today's society.
Su's mother's attitude before said it all.
People don't have a problem with him as a person.
They were very enthusiastic when they first arrived, but their attitude changed after they saw the 22 cents on their epaulets.
Besides, they only said they don't like people with questionable character.
They didn't directly tell us to leave or anything, except that the old man's attitude was a bit cold.
The other families didn't do anything outrageous, nor did they make sarcastic remarks.
Yuan Yi understood why Old Master Su acted this way; for him...
The military profession is sacred and inviolable; he served as a soldier his entire life.
He was still a lieutenant general, and the deputy commander retired.
The concept of being a soldier was ingrained in his very being.
Seeing that a mere young man like himself was so devoted to the sacred faith he held in his heart.
Naturally, they wouldn't give me a friendly look.
"Sir, please answer the phone."
"I really have no reason to lie to you!"
"It really is Commander Hou!"
Su Ya stood aside watching Yuan Yi; she naturally trusted him.
She had met Major Generals Li Gang and Cheng Wei from the song and dance troupe before.
"Grandpa, what Yuan Yi said is true."
"I've met both the director and the political commissar of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe; they are both major generals!"
Upon hearing Su Ya's words, the old man formed a preconceived notion.
"Hmph, I wonder what tricks this kid used to deceive you!"
"You think you can just see the Major General Commander and Political Commissar of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe whenever you want?"
"And another thing, this kid is so shameless as to directly address Commander Hou!"
"You should know that Commander Hou is my superior, the Commander of the Army Headquarters, with the rank of General!"
"It's rare to even see a major general in a regular military region, let alone have his private phone number!"
"This kid just spouts nonsense, talking about Commander Hou!"
"Who does he think he is?"
"A second-generation military officer? A second-generation official? Or a princeling from Beijing?"
"You don't even think before you lie!!"
The old man didn't look down on Yuan Yi; he just disliked his vanity.
If you were to follow your own rank in a proper manner, what's wrong with being a lieutenant?
Who didn't start as a lieutenant and rise through the ranks?
I was just a common soldier back then, but I still rose to the rank of general after decades of military service.
"Alright, take your things and go!"
"Dishonest people are not welcome in our family!"
Grandpa Su waved his hand and walked out of the living room.
Su Ya looked at Yuan Yi, at a loss for what to do.
Today was supposed to be a happy first day meeting my parents, but who knew it would turn out like this?
Su Ya's eyes immediately turned red.
"I will have a good talk with my grandfather."
Su Ya looked at Yuan Yi, and tears streamed down her face.
Yuan Yi felt heartbroken seeing Su Ya in tears.
He placed the phone directly to his ear.
"Commander Hou, could you please do me a favor?"
"Could you please come in person? I can't explain this to you even if I had ten mouths!"
"If you help me with this, I promise I'll go to the army as soon as I'm done here."
"How about two years?"
Yuan Yi could only manage a wry smile at this moment.
Who knew that our first meeting would turn out like this because of the issue of shoulder insignia and military ranks?
It would have been easy for me to explain, but Grandpa Su was a stubborn old man.
Once you've made up your mind about something, no amount of explanation from others will change it.
Su's mother and the old lady, who were standing nearby, watched Su Ya with tears in their eyes.
"Girl, don't cry!"
"Don't you know how stubborn your grandfather is?!"
"Once he's calmed down today, you can bring Xiao Yuan here again!"
"Don't try that next time you come. Don't you know what our house is like?"
"We will absolutely not look down on him just because he has a low rank!!"
After hearing what the old lady said, Su's mother also came to Su Ya's side.
He pulled Su Ya into his arms and gently patted her back.
“You know your grandfather’s temper, especially when it comes to using his lifelong military service to fabricate stories.”
"He's in a bad mood right now, let's talk to him after he calms down!"
"From now on, let Xiao Yuan be down-to-earth. As long as you like it, we won't object!"
Su Ya listened to her grandmother and mother's words, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Yuan Yi was still on the phone at that moment.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
With that, Yuan Yi hung up the phone.
Looking at the old lady, Su's mother, and Su Ya who were left in the living room.
"Sorry, the misunderstanding will be cleared up in a bit!"
"I'll wait outside first!"
Yuan Yi bowed slightly in acknowledgment and then walked directly out of the courtyard gate.
