"Why should I? Do you deserve it?" Deng Meili was now speechless and started spouting nonsense.
"Why? Because they guarded the motherland's sea borders, because of the generations of martyrs buried on our islands! Because when the enemy invaded, they dared to sail their fishing boats to meet them!"
"If it weren't for the fishermen on the front lines, you could be so leisurely enjoying the food prepared by the imperial chefs and spouting such nonsense!"
Bonnie didn't give Deng Meili a chance to speak, and continued, "You can look down on me, you can think I'm unsophisticated, but you can't look down on fishermen, you have no right to!"
Bonnie was now exuding an aura of dominance; her previously smiling face had become unusually serious, making others afraid to look directly at her.
"You, you, I, I didn't..."
Deng Meili was incoherent, unable to organize her thoughts, and her words were slurred and disjointed.
"Comrade Lin, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister."
"No need. I'm just stating my position. If anyone should apologize, it should be Comrade Deng Meili, not you. Don't say she's young and doesn't understand. Comrade Deng Meili is at least older than me, isn't she, Sister Deng?"
"You, you..."
"Beautiful, where is your manners?" Deng Bing was furious, about to explode!
"I guess she left it at home!" Bonnie thought. She couldn't hit her, but it would be okay to provoke her.
After Bonnie finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Ye and said, "Am I right?"
The original plan for this gathering was to catch up on recent events and discuss current situations, but we ended up arguing instead of discussing anything productive.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's get together again another day." Gu Ye didn't want to see Deng Meili's mournful look, as if he had done something to wrong her.
“Alright, let’s set a time later, just the few of us, and have a good drink.” Qian Limin, who hadn’t gotten a chance to speak all night, gave Deng Bing a meaningful look.
"Baoni, I'd like to ask you to go shopping sometime. Let's all be women together, without the men," Zhou Weihong, Han Ye's wife, discussed with Baoni.
“Yes, let’s go together.” Qian Limin’s wife, Wu Fang, chimed in. She had only spoken one sentence that night, without having a chance to say anything else.
"Let's go, let's meet again." Gu Ye picked up his coat and handed it to Bao Ni. After watching her put it on, the two left side by side.
"Gu Ye's wife is no ordinary woman!" Han Ye said, and then he and his wife left.
"Deng Bing, you..." Li Hongjun didn't finish his sentence and left.
Bai Chaoyang and Zhao Yuan left without saying anything.
Deng Bing glanced at Deng Meili, not wanting to say anything more. He had said everything he needed to say; if he couldn't let go, he would only suffer in the end.
