Upon hearing the sound, Lu Hua and Lu Yunzhang immediately straightened up and went to open the car door for him.
A young man got out of the passenger seat and stopped them, saying, "Let me do it, Commander Lu."
Lu Yunzhang paused in his movements, but said nothing and withdrew his hand.
Just as the young man reached out to open the back door, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an elderly man dressed in casual clothes but exuding righteousness stepped out.
As he got out of the car, he complained, "Do I need you to do this? It's just opening a car door. It's not like I don't have hands."
"Grandpa..." the young man said somewhat awkwardly.
Minister Chang glanced at him and said, "You may not have learned anything else in Shanghai, but you certainly learned the phrase 'looking down on everyone' perfectly."
The young man, Chang Xi, the grandson of Minister Chang, looked even more embarrassed, with a hint of dissatisfaction mixed in.
Minister Chang didn't look at him, but turned to Lu Hua and asked, "How is your father's health? We haven't seen each other for a while."
Lu Hua smiled and said, "My father is in relatively good health, but he often talks about you uncles, reminiscing about the things when we were young, and telling us younger generation about the camaraderie between you."
"Every time I hear this, I am filled with emotion..."
Minister Chang glanced at Old Master Chu and saw something nauseating on the other's face.
Good heavens, Old Man Lu's son really knows how to talk!
After patiently listening to Lu Hua's tearful account, Minister Chang didn't offer any comments. Instead, he patted Lu Yunzhang's arm and praised, "Good lad, you've got a good physique."
Lu Yunzhang remained calm and composed, saying, "I haven't been exercising much lately, so I can't compare to the old commander's good health."
Minister Chang was satisfied with Lu Yunzhang. Regardless of what kind of person Old Master Lu was, he could see Lu Yunzhang's performance in the army. He was an excellent soldier and an excellent commander.
With proper training, he might very well become a local official in the future.
He carries too much on his shoulders, and Old Man Lu has placed all the hopes of the Lu family on him. He has climbed to his current position at a young age, so it is inevitable that he will become proud and complacent.
A lot has changed during this time; Han Ming even said he seems like a completely different person.
He talks less, but trains harder and is more humble.
Minister Chang was pleased with this change. It is not easy to cultivate an outstanding officer, and he did not want Lu Yunzhang to be blinded by vanity.
Whether it's money or fame, they will all disappear one day. Only by pursuing faith can we find an eternal beacon in the long river of life.
Fame and fortune are fleeting, but faith is a towering tree rooted in the earth.
Old Lu was also a man of faith when he was young. Their faith was the same: to strive for the liberation, freedom and happiness of the people.
Now that life is better, things have gone astray.
Minister Chang sighed inwardly, then patted Lu Yunzhang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Keep moving forward on the right path, don't look back, and don't lose yourself."
Lu Yunzhang's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his eyes felt hot.
He saluted Minister Chang.
They said nothing, yet they said everything.
Minister Chang chuckled, walked over to Old Master Chu, and slapped him on the back. "Old man, you still haven't answered me. When did you start acting like this?"
"Get lost," Old Master Chu said with a rude laugh.
The next second, she smiled and introduced Lin Xiaoxiao to him, "My goddaughter, isn't she cute?"
The adorable Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Hello, Commander."
Minister Chang saw that her eyes were clear and bright, and knew that she was a pure and innocent girl. He smiled and said, "Since you are Old Man Chu's granddaughter, you can call me Grandpa Chang."
Calling someone "leader" sounds so formal.
"Grandpa Chang." Lin Xiaoxiao immediately seized the opportunity and changed her address without hesitation.
Her voice was loud, which showed that she was in a good mood.
Minister Chang laughed twice and nodded in satisfaction, "He's a bright and good kid."
He knew Lin Xiaoxiao's identity in the National Security Bureau and her relationship with Qin Yushen, so he was naturally very satisfied with her.
"Uncle Chu, Uncle Chang, please come in. My father will be overjoyed to see you two." Lu Hua seized the opportunity to welcome them inside.
"Let's go." Minister Chang pulled Old Master Chu along.
Grandpa Chu looked at Lin Wanwan, who was standing to the side in a daze, and asked, "Yunzhang's wife, can my little one go in?"
How big of a star is Lin Wanwan? Let Old Master Chu ask her.
Minister Chang glanced at Lin Wanwan, just in time to see the jealous look in her eyes, then calmly looked away and raised an eyebrow.
Lu Yunzhang's wife is...
Before Lin Wanwan could speak, Lu Hua spoke first, "All guests are welcome, there's no reason not to let them in, everyone is welcome."
Lu Hua didn't have this attitude just now.
She's someone who can be flexible and adaptable.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Hua and followed Old Master Chu into the Lu family home.
The moment she saw her step in, Lin Wanwan broke down.
You slut, you slut...
"Commander Lu, is this the only wife you've ever married?" Chang Xi stopped beside Lin Wanwan, glanced at her a few times, and said, "She's really not presentable."
On such an important occasion, he revealed a jealous and sinister expression, as if he were so powerful.
Lu Yunzhang said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Changxi pouted, "Are all soldiers like this? We're trying to be kind to you, and you don't appreciate it, just like my cousin."
Lu Yunzhang looked at him indifferently, "Concern? I can tell whether it's genuine or feigned."
Chang Xi snorted and went inside.
After he went inside, Lu Yunzhang looked at Lin Wanwan and said in an unusually cold voice, "Either go back to your room, or shut your mouth and don't say a word."
“Yun Zhang…” Lin Wanwan was unwilling to accept it.
Today was supposed to be her day to shine.
"Shut up," Lu Yunzhang snapped. "I warned you not to call me by my name."
He found it disgusting.
Lin Wanwan, hurt by his gaze, burst into tears. She raised her hand to wipe them away. "I'm pregnant with your child. What more do you want from me? Can't you try to accept me? I know our beginning was a mistake, but... but what's done is done. Why do you keep holding on to it?"
She did scheme against him, but as the saying goes, what's the point of worrying about what's already happened?
Could it be that he really intends to remain a bachelor in name only for the rest of his life?
Lin Wanwan envied Lin Xiaoxiao, envying her for having Qin Yushen who cherished her, and also envying her for receiving so much love from others.
If she hadn't truly been driven to desperation, why would she have done those things?
Lu Yunzhang is good-looking and became a regimental commander at a young age. Lin Wanwan genuinely wants to have a relationship with him, not just coldness and scheming.
Lu Yunzhang glanced at her with disgust and quickly looked away.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his temper.
To engage in pointless arguments.
Regarding Lin Wanwan's tears, he reiterated his previous statement: "Crocodile tears are not worthy of sympathy."
