"Expelled? Oh dear, what mistake did she make? It must be serious, otherwise why would she be expelled? How could Ye Lan date someone like that..."
“Grandma Ye, you have to do something about this. Although Ye Lan isn’t your biological granddaughter, she has the surname Ye. You can’t let her marry someone of bad character.”
Some people kindly offered advice.
The old lady snorted, "It's none of my business. They're very independent and have been secretly dating for a while now. What can I do if I don't let them get married? Our Ye family is a family that follows the rules!"
The neighbors quickly recalled what Ye Qingqing had said a while ago about Ye Lan going into the woods with a man, and how she had watched pornographic videos with male classmates in high school, and even kissed a man in broad daylight on the street...
Oh dear, no wonder the old lady didn't want to get involved. After all, they're not her biological mother. Even their own mother didn't say anything!
But you really can't tell that Ye Lan is so shy and timid on the surface, but actually so bold and unrestrained!
Ye Lan was so angry she almost fainted. That old hag was deliberately trying to ruin her reputation!
And she even ruined Qingquan's reputation. That old hag is truly vicious!
"Brother Qingquan wasn't discharged; he was discharged from the military."
In order to protect Lu Qingquan's reputation and her own face, Ye Lan had no choice but to come out and explain.
Anyway, these gossipy women don't know the specifics of the military's operations. She just needs to say that she's retired. She absolutely cannot let the people in the alley know that she was discharged. Otherwise, if Ye Qingqing's boyfriend is a battalion commander, but her boyfriend is a discharged soldier, what face will she have left?
The old lady glared at Ye Lan with disdain and was about to correct her when Ye Zhiguo came out of the house and said with a smile, "My mother doesn't know any better and is talking nonsense. Ye Lan's fiancé wasn't discharged, he was discharged from the army."
Although he now looks down on Lu Qingquan, they are already engaged and are related to the Ye family by marriage, so his reputation must be protected.
My mother is short-sighted and only cares about getting a quick and easy laugh. It's really a headache!
The old lady pursed her lips and said nothing more; she had to give her son face.
The others weren't stupid, of course. They realized there was internal conflict within the Ye family, so they stopped asking about Lu Qingquan and instead inquired about Ye Qingqing's boyfriend. They actually trusted the old lady more; Ye Lan's boyfriend had definitely been fired.
Ye Zhiguo was too proud to admit it!
It was almost five o'clock, and Ye Qingqing couldn't resist going outside to take a look, but the old lady scolded her and sent her back inside.
"Never seen a man before, huh? Women can't throw themselves at men. You get back inside and don't you dare come out again!"
With so many neighbors watching, what kind of behavior is it for Ye Qingqing to run out to greet the man? People who don't know the situation might think that Ye's daughter is throwing herself at the man!
Ye Qingqing pouted and obediently went back to her room. Today was a good day, and she wouldn't argue with the old lady!
A taxi drove into the alley and stopped in front of the Ye family's house. Lu Mo and Tie Dan got out of the car.
Both of them were wearing military uniforms, which were pressed crisply. Lu Mo looked dashing in them, especially the shimmering epaulets on his shoulders, which made the neighbors stare in amazement. Some experts could tell the difference at a glance.
"Two bars and one star, that's the rank of major, that's incredible!"
"He's also good-looking, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a commanding presence. He's even better looking than the officers who raise the national flag in front of Tiananmen Square."
"No, there are two. Who is the other one, the burly, dark-skinned guy?" someone questioned.
The old lady had met Tiedan a few times, and immediately explained, "That dark-skinned young man is my grandson-in-law's bodyguard. He has to follow me everywhere."
Having witnessed Lu Mo's heroic demeanor, the old lady's heart was immediately captured. Although she was old, it did not affect her fondness for handsome young men, especially someone as masculine and heroic as Lu Mo. The old lady was overjoyed and immediately changed her mind.
Such a handsome young man is her grandson-in-law; she'll have to brag about him when she goes back to the village!
