Mei Huarong glanced at Lu Dongsheng tremblingly, and then asked in a slightly anxious and uneasy tone:
"Old Lu, do you think we can still stop him from going to that island?"
Lu Dongsheng shook his head without hesitation and answered firmly: "No way! It's impossible to do it."
Hearing this answer, Mei Huarong's heart trembled, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth were choked back. She paused, then mustered up the courage to continue:
"original……"
However, after saying just these two words, she seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength and could no longer continue speaking.
Looking back to the past, when her father and brother were still in high positions, the Mei family was extremely powerful and could call the wind and rain. Every word they said was the golden rule, and no one dared to disobey them.
At that time, Lu Dongsheng, as the son-in-law of the Mei family, was naturally the one who had the final say and was very awe-inspiring.
But now, with the collapse of the Mei family, everything has changed. The once glorious Mei family has become a thing of the past, and the words of her husband have become insignificant.
At this moment, Lu Dongsheng looked at his wife who was in a state of despair, and although he felt a little irritated and impatient, he suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and patiently explained to her:
"If I had intervened in time when he submitted his application, perhaps things could have turned around. But now, the transfer order has already been issued. At this moment, even if I speak eloquently, it will be of no use!"
Mei Huarong stared at Lu Dongsheng with eyes wide open, incredulous, as if trying to discern a clue from his face. Then, she angrily cursed:
"Old Lu, tell me, how dare he! How dare he conceal such a serious matter from the world, even keeping you in the dark?"
"Humph, of course he dares to hide it from the world! Don't you know the situation? Ever since my so-called 'good uncle' fell from power, I've been completely marginalized, like being banished to the cold palace!
The fact that they haven't yet notified me of my transfer is probably due to the kindness of our precious eldest son."
Lu Dongsheng could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction, and his words were full of sarcasm.
Whenever he thought of Mei Yunhe, the anger in his heart was like surging volcanic magma, gushing out wildly and unable to be suppressed at all.
I never imagined that the seemingly gentle, refined, and elegant young man would be such a hypocrite, blinded by lust and sanctimonious! Moreover, he would commit such a heartless, treacherous act of selling out his country for personal gain. It is simply unforgivable!
If he could have foreseen that Mei Yunhe would commit such a heinous crime, even if there was an extremely sharp steel knife across his neck, threatening him with death, he would never have married Mei Huarong and let her set foot in his home!
Looking back to the past, if he had been a little more resilient and had not made the decision to marry Mei Huarong, but instead relied on his own strong strength and outstanding talent to fight bravely, then today, no matter what, he would at least be able to successfully be promoted to become a majestic regiment leader, right?
It’s a pity that ideals are always beautiful, but reality is always so cruel and ruthless.
Today, although he still has the false title of "teacher commander", he has actually been completely ignored by the people around him and has completely fallen into an insignificant and dispensable role.
He lived a muddled and idle life every day, so free that he even had plenty of time to quarrel and argue with the old lady, Mei Huarong, who was already over fifty years old!
He is really frustrated.
Hearing this, Mei Huarong raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and retorted sarcastically:
"Oh my, how can you blame me for this? Now you are trying to completely shirk responsibility and even blame our Mei family!
Looking back to those days, you were just an unknown and insignificant little soldier. Why didn’t I see you say a word against the Mei family back then?
Also, normally you always brag about yourself, saying how smart and clever you are, as if there is nothing in the world that can stump you.
But at that time, when you faced Mei Yunhe, why couldn't you see through his deeply hidden treasonous face?
Have all your so-called wisdom and strategies disappeared into thin air?"
This was the first time that Mei Huarong had spoken so sharply and mercilessly.
At this moment, Mei Huarong's petite body was trembling slightly, and her heart seemed to be filled with huge waves, with grievances and anger surging like a tide.
She bit her lips so hard that the pink lips gradually lost their color and turned pale. Tears kept rolling in her eyes, and the slightly red corners of her eyes looked like ripe cherries, which was very endearing.
However, she raised her head stubbornly, trying hard not to let the crystal tears fall.
Despite this, she knew very well in her heart that no matter how the outside world evaluated Mei Yunhe, that man would always be her blood-related brother.
This bond of family affection is like a tough silk thread, deeply rooted in the softest corner of her heart.
Even in the face of the pointing and ridicule of many strangers, she still couldn't suppress the strong urge to stand up and defend her brother and try her best to protect his image.
Lu Dongsheng was frightened by Mei Huarong's almost insane and hysterical words. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
This Meihuarong is so bold that he dares to say anything!
Didn't she know how serious the crime her "good brother" had committed was? How dare she defend him so recklessly?
Mei Huarong is over fifty years old. Logically, he should have experienced the world and be mature and steady. However, he is still so childish and ridiculous in his behavior.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this immaturity that she was easily caught by others and eventually even lost her job as dean.
If she had considered the overall situation and not been so harsh on her eldest son, perhaps Lu Yu would not have become so rebellious and erratic.
Thinking of this, Lu Dongsheng's heart was like a pot of five flavors overturned, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart. He stood there in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses and hurriedly reminded Mei Huarong:
"Alright, alright, stop talking now. You better be careful with what you say when you're out in public!
Your brother has already committed the unforgivable crime of treason. If someone with ulterior motives hears you still defending him, it will probably bring you unexpected trouble and disaster!"
When saying this, although Lu Dongsheng seemed gentle on the surface, deep down in his heart, he had already developed a hint of disgust towards Mei Huarong.
