Chapter 1048: My Mom Wrote That

Lu Xingzhi did not want to wake Jiang Yao, so he got up very quietly. His actions were so light that she did not know that he had left. When she opened her eyes, Lu Xingzhi had already returned to the army. It had already been one or two hours since he left.
After Jiang Yao woke up, she thought of Lu Xingzhi’s fox-like personality. When she got out of bed, the first thing she did was to look under it to see if the box she had hidden was still safe and sound. When she saw the thread of the box, Jiang Yao was relieved. It seemed like Lu Xingzhi had not seen it or rummaged through it while she was asleep.
He was as impatient as a three-year-old when it came to his birthday present. Therefore, Jiang Yao had been keeping an eye out for him to peek at it. If he had seen it, then there would have been no surprise at all.
She had been folding the paper cranes when Lu Xingzhi arrived the previous night. If she had not acted quickly, he would have seen them.
After Lu Xingzhi returned to the army, he went to the morning exercise and then participated in training and continued with his work. However, he looked at his watch several times during the day; he counted down to Chen Lanying’s arrival.
If Chen Lanying arrived earlier, then he could get Jiang Yao home earlier. After that, there was no reason for him to leave the army to stay in Jin City for the night. Zhou Weiqi was right; it was too lonely and cold to sleep alone at night.
Lu Xingzhi did not go home for lunch since Jiang Yao was not there. It was already noon. Just as he was about to go to the canteen, Major He and his family went to his office. They bumped into him while he was on his way out.
Major He’s family entourage included his father, who had arrived the previous night. However, his pregnant wife was not with them.
Lu Xingzhi knew that Major He’s father had arrived. He heard that Major He called for his father to take his mother home. He had planned to send his mother home after the New Year, but he changed his mind. He wanted her to go home earlier; his mother-in-law would come to the army to care for his wife after the New Year.
“Sergeant Lu, we’re sorry to bother you,” Major He called out to Lu Xingzhi, who stood at the door as he looked at him.
Lu Xingzhi’s sharp eyes observed Major He’s face for a few seconds. Then, he glanced at the man’s parents; he caught a glimpse of nervousness on his father’s face.
As for his mother, there was only embarrassment and fear.
“Come in.” Lu Xingzhi returned to the office and pointed to the chairs for the three of them.
“Sergeant Lu, there’s no need for that!” Old Master He immediately stopped him. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “Sergeant Lu, we just wanted to say a few words. We can just stand.”
How could Old Master He still have the dignity to sit? At that moment, he was both afraid and worried.
“Sergeant Lu, I brought my mother here to apologize to you,” Major He stood up and pushed the chair that Lu Xingzhi had brought them. “I’m very sorry. Regarding the reports on you, one of them was written by my mother. I only just found out about it.”
The first person in the He family to know about that was Old Master He. When Old Master He and Old Madam He talked at home in the morning, the old woman had been so pleased with herself that she had spilled the beans to her husband. She wanted Old Master He to know how disgraceful Sergeant Lu and his wife were because of the incident. Then, she told him about the report that she had written.
After Old Master He heard it, he was so angry that his body trembled.
