Liu Yang really regretted having dinner with him. She had thought that people would talk about them no matter they ate separately or together, so there was no need to make Xu Zhiyuan unhappy. After all, the divorce was not finalized, and he must be very angry.

But now, the negative impact of eating together has far exceeded expectations.

Liu Yang held his forehead with his hand, thinking that his life was so difficult.

When they arrived at the military compound, Liu Yang was about to remind Xu Zhiyuan that the guards at the door no longer recognized his identity, and if he wanted to go in, he had to notify Grandpa Liu first.

But as soon as the car stopped, the guards let them go and saluted Xu Zhiyuan.

Oh my god, am I being targeted?

After all, I have been raised by Dean Liu's family for twenty-two years. Why can Xu Zhiyuan, who has a more distant relationship with me, enter but I can't?

"What are you angry about?" Xu Zhiyuan asked calmly when getting off the car.

You can tell that? No wonder he's a scout.

Liu Yang quickly shook his head, "I can't say I'm angry. It's just that a few days ago, I came to deliver some vegetables from home to Dean Liu's house, and the guards stopped me at the door. But today they let me in so readily."

Xu Zhiyuan took out a box of tea from the trunk. When they went over and knocked on the door, he said, "Have you ever thought of another possibility? This is the compound of our military headquarters."

So that's how it is. Liu Yang knocked his head. He couldn't figure out what Xu Zhiyuan's identity was.

Soon, the door was opened. It was Teacher Xu who opened the door. She was a little surprised to see Xu Zhiyuan and Liu Yang coming together. Besides being surprised, she seemed a little unhappy. "Why are you here together? Come in quickly."

"Let's come and see grandpa." Xu Zhiyuan walked in front. He had long legs and took big steps. After a few steps, he reached the living room.

Liu Yang followed him, feeling a little embarrassed because he didn't bring any gifts.

Grandpa Liu had just finished his meal and was reading a newspaper in the living room. He had the habit of taking a nap and usually went to bed at 1:30, so Xu Zhiyuan said he wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat so that he could get here before Grandpa Liu took a nap.

Seeing them, Grandpa Liu smiled widely, "Yangyang, I haven't seen you for so many days, do you miss me?"

"Come, come and sit down, Zhiyuan come here too." Grandpa Liu asked them to sit down, and then asked Teacher Xu to cut some fruit.

Although Teacher Xu did not say no, she still said coldly, "You are not a guest."

Grandpa Liu was not happy about this. "You didn't even let me in through the gate, and you said I'm not a guest?"

"Dad, Xiaoxia means well. Yangyang doesn't have the key to the house right now. If we're not at home when she comes, it will be inconvenient for you to open the door. What if something happens? Xiaoxia told the guards for your sake that she would contact us in advance when Yangyang comes."

It turned out that it was Xiao Xia who was behind this. She is really proactive.

Grandpa Liu slapped the armrest of the wheelchair. "I'm just inconvenienced, not dead. How come I can't even open the door?"

"Dad, that's not what I meant. You see, I don't go out often after I retire. As long as I'm at home, it won't affect Yangyang's coming home to see you." Teacher Xu softened.

But Grandpa Liu remained undeterred, "Go tell the guards not to stop Yangyang from returning home in the future."

Liu Yang didn't know how Grandpa Liu knew that he was stopped by the guards that day, but at this moment, he didn't feel even a little aggrieved.

Teacher Xu had no choice but to agree. After a while, he went to talk to the guard and went into the kitchen. After a while, he brought out a fruit plate. The fruits in it were not rich, only apples and oranges.

"Yangyang, how have you been these past few days?" Grandpa Liu looked at Liu Yang with a kind look again. "I heard that you signed up for the night school for employees?"

Liu Yang nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, I want to learn English."

"Learn English? Sure, sure. Our country's economy is developing so fast now, and there are many places where we need to interact with foreigners. If you learn English well, everything will be convenient." Grandpa Liu started to brag, "Our Yangyang, as long as you can use all your intelligence in studying, you will definitely learn well."

Now, I'm afraid Grandpa Liu is the only one who unconditionally believes that he can learn well.

Liu Yang would never let him down, and she wasn't really going there to learn knowledge. She had passed the CET-6 in her junior year, and her spoken English was pretty good. She was going to night school now, just to find a way to speak English properly.

Speaking of going to night school, Teacher Xu also sat down and said, "It's a good thing that you want to go to night school, but why do you have to drag Xiao Xia along?"

It turned out that it was Xiao Xia who talked about going to night school.

It seems that she is anxious.

"Teacher Xu misunderstood. Xiao Xia and I met in the cafeteria yesterday. She told me not to blame you. She arranged for me to do hard labor in the workshop, but arranged for her to work in the office."

Liu Yang lowered her head timidly. "I thought she really wanted to recognize me as her sister, so I mentioned the night school. Then Sister Chen from the logistics department said that Dean Liu told her that Xiao Xia had always had good grades and almost got into college. Sister Chen said that Xiao Xia would have no problem and would take her to register."

Grandpa Liu snorted, "See, I told you that Yangyang is a sensible child. If you want to blame someone for this, you can only blame Liu Ping. He dropped out of school in the first year of high school, but he insisted on telling others that he had good grades and almost got into college. How could he be helping Xiaoxia? He was harming her. Do you want to suffer from this truth or falsehood?"

Liu Yang knew Xiao Xia's education background, but he looked surprised at this moment. "Teacher Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"Yangyang, this matter is not your fault, you are kind-hearted." Grandpa Liu returned Teacher Xu's words that Xiaoxia was kind-hearted. He patted Liu Yang's hand and turned his gaze to Xu Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, tell me, is our Yangyang to blame for this matter?"

Liu Yang followed Grandpa Liu's gaze and saw Xu Zhiyuan still had a serious look on his face. He answered seriously, "Liu Yang can't be blamed for this. Once a person wants to make progress, he will take the initiative to bring the people around him along. This is very good."

Is he bragging about himself?

He actually praised himself!

Liu Yang was a little surprised and a little embarrassed.

Teacher Xu disagreed. "Why did she suddenly want to make progress? I have advised her so many times to prepare for the college entrance examination, but what did she do? She said that studying well is not as good as marrying a good man. How come she has made progress so much after being away from home for only a few days?"

"It's because you, as parents, treated her badly that she would rather move out and live alone than stay in this house. How can she live alone outside without making progress?" Grandpa Liu said, pulling Xu Zhiyuan's hand over and overlapping his with Liu Yang's hand, "Zhiyuan, Yangyang can only rely on you from now on, so you must treat her well."

The warmth from Xu Zhiyuan's palm suddenly covered the back of Liu Yang's hand, and Liu Yang shuddered all over as if he had been electrocuted.

At the same time, Xu Zhiyuan frowned slightly. Although he did not pull his hand back, he did not move at all. He did not even bend a finger. He just responded emotionlessly, "Yes."
