Lu Yu didn't know that Mei Huarong had visited Qin Wan. After returning home in the evening, he said to his wife while helping her take a bath:
"Today, she came to me, wanting to mend our relationship. But she was still doing it under the pretext of doing it for my own good, which is really disgusting. I don't even bother to answer her like that.
She thought that since she gave birth to me, I had to obey her in everything, otherwise I would be unfilial. But she didn't know that I was born with a rebellious nature. The more you disapprove of something, the more I will do it.
As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something he hadn't told his wife, so he told her:
"She's been rejected by me, so she'll probably come and cause trouble for you. Then do whatever you want. Don't try to save face for anyone else. You must always remember that you're the only one who belongs to me in this world, so I'll always stand by you."
Lu Yu said it was very likely, but based on his understanding of Meihuarong, Meihuarong would definitely come.
After listening to this, Qin Wan nodded and said, "You are right. She has already come this afternoon." Then, he recounted the process of Mei Huarong coming here.
Lu Yu suddenly felt a little ashamed. This was how his own mother held her back!
At this time, Lu Dongsheng was also asking Mei Huarong about the result of her meeting with Qin Wan today.
"That young educated youth is so arrogant that he doesn't even acknowledge me as his mother-in-law! Huh, Lu Yu crawled out of my belly. I don't believe he dares to disown me. If he does, I'll sue him for being unfilial. I wonder how he can continue to be the head of the regiment?"
Lu Dongsheng can be considered a lucky man. He has always had green lights on the road to promotion, and most of these come from Mei Huarong's mother's family.
Meihuarong's parents' family is a family of poetry and literature.
It is said that Mei Huarong's grandfather ran a school. Later, when the war broke out, Mei Huarong's grandfather personally encouraged students to march and demonstrate, and advocate for the interests of the country and the nation.
Mei Huarong's father joined the army and became a deputy commander.
Mei Huarong is the only girl in their Mei family.
Because of his good looks, Lu Dongsheng was noticed by Mei Huarong at first sight.
Lu Dongsheng was a young man with a strong desire to make progress. After receiving Mei Huarong's goodwill, he immediately responded. Although it was faint, it was definitely friendly.
Lu Dongsheng had a childhood sweetheart at that time. In order to hold on to Mei Huarong, he resolutely broke up with his childhood sweetheart.
Lu Dongsheng has always cared only about his career. As for family, he believes that is his wife's business. As long as she doesn't cheat on him, he can let her do whatever she wants.
Mei Huarong was very infatuated with him at that time, and took good care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing and other aspects, which made him worry-free.
Lu Dongsheng enjoyed this kind of care very much. After marrying Mei Huarong, he also doted on his wife.
And his path to success was just as he expected. With the Yue family's support, he soared all the way, making many of his peers envious.
He is also proud of his choice back then.
But now, he realized how stupid his wife was.
He had always believed that his wife was a sensible person, who did everything with reason, logic and restraint. But today he finally saw clearly that this woman was used to being superior, thinking that she was the invincible king and that everyone should pamper and serve her.
But she forgot what time it was. The society was in turmoil and the Mei family didn't dare to act high-profile, let alone herself.
I was confused at the beginning. Why did I listen to this woman?
Lu Dongsheng felt that he was also drunk. How could he be so confident in handing things over to Mei Huarong?
In the past, it was an internal family conflict, but now it is a matter between two families, not to mention that an outsider, the daughter-in-law, has been involved.
This Meihuarong too, is she an idiot? Why is she acting like a mother-in-law at this time, like an elder lecturing a younger generation? She doesn't even consider what kind of occasion this is!
He suppressed his impatience, glanced at Mei Huarong, and asked with a sarcastic smile on his face:
"Do you know why Lu Yu got the promotion?"
Mei Huarong was stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Dongsheng to question her so directly. Her pretentious expression faltered for a moment, but she forced herself to maintain her dignity, snorting coldly, "Hmph, of course, it's because he works hard and is so capable."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongsheng couldn't help but sneer, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his laughter.
"Hard work? Outstanding ability? If these determined everything, wouldn't the world be filled with high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals?"
He slowly walked up to Mei Huarong, his eyes as sharp as a torch, as if he wanted to see through her hypocrisy and ignorance.
"Meihuarong, you and I have both been working in this workplace for so many years. Don't you understand one thing? Ability is important, but even more important are opportunities, connections, and..."
Lu Dongsheng paused deliberately, a sly look flashing in his eyes.
"And also knowing how to assess the situation and when to bow your head and when to hold your head high."
Mei Huarong's face turned pale and blue, and it was obvious that Lu Dongsheng's words hit a sore spot for her.
"You...what do you mean?" Mei Huarong's voice trembled a little. She tried to regain her momentum, but it was obvious that she was unable to do so.
In the past, Lu Dongsheng always obeyed her, and she thought she was the little princess in his heart forever. She acted bossy in front of him, thinking that this was how life should be.
But now, Lu Dongsheng tore off his usual gentle veil and showed his full power, and she couldn't help but shrink her body.
Lu Dongsheng smiled contemptuously and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned and looked out the window. It was a bustling urban scene with tall buildings and heavy traffic.
