When saying this, although Lu Dongsheng seemed gentle on the surface, deep down in his heart, he had gradually developed a sense of disgust towards Mei Huarong.
However, thinking back on the ups and downs they had gone through together and the love they had shared over the years, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to watch her sink into the quagmire and suffer because of this matter.
"I know, I'm already standing in front of you!"
Mei Huarong blew his nose hard as he spoke.
She had been ridiculed and mocked by people a lot in recent times. But after listening to Lu Dongsheng's warm advice, her heart, which had been almost frozen by the fickleness of human nature, suddenly felt a little warm.
Lu Dongsheng shook his head gently, then let out a long sigh, and the sigh seemed to carry endless helplessness and melancholy.
He slowly raised his head, looked ahead with a somewhat dim gaze, and said softly:
"Regarding Lu Yu's matter, this is all we can do. With the limited abilities we have right now, even if we wanted to intervene, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"Thinking back then, we certainly didn't treat him well enough. Even though my heart is filled with regret and self-blame now, I'm afraid it's too late now."
Having said that, Lu Dongsheng paused for a moment, with a bitter smile on his face.
However, at this moment, Mei Huarong, who had been listening quietly to Lu Dongsheng's words, suddenly changed his calm expression.
All I heard was her slamming the table, and she stood up suddenly, with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, staring at Lu Dongsheng as if she was about to spit fire.
Then, she took a deep breath, and like an enraged lioness, she opened her throat and roared at Lu Dongsheng at the top of her lungs:
"Lu Dongsheng, you must explain everything to me clearly today! Are you still secretly blaming me in your heart?
If you have something to say, just say it directly! Stop being so secretive and beating around the bush! "
Faced with his wife's excited reaction like a volcanic eruption, Lu Dongsheng unexpectedly appeared quite calm and composed.
He first shook his head gently, then narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at his wife with an angry face, and slowly explained:
"How dare I blame you? I'm just telling you the truth. Really, I didn't mean it that way.
It's just... well, how should I put it? As you know, I've been serving in the army and rarely go home a few times a year. I really can't take care of everything at home.
However, what I never expected was that you, as our child's mother, would be so indifferent to your own son.
This child has been wronged and has encountered difficulties in study. Not only do you not care about him and comfort him, but you suppress him everywhere, as if you are afraid that he will not be able to succeed!
These questions have actually been on my mind for a long time, and now that we've come to this point, I'm just going to lay them out with you completely."
This doubt has been in my heart for many years.
Lu Dongsheng has always been confused and puzzled by this.
Why did Meihua Rong always treat Lu Yu with such disdain? After all, Lu Yu was quite outstanding! Although he wasn't as eloquent and articulate as the younger son, he certainly wasn't someone who would be so disliked by his mother.
At this moment, Lu Dongsheng keenly caught a glimpse of a guilty conscience that was hard to conceal in Mei Huarong's eyes, but this guilty conscience was fleeting and was quickly concealed by her cleverly.
Then, her face was filled with anger, and she started to argue fiercely:
"Humph! The reason couldn't be simpler. I saw through it a long time ago. That guy is simply a heartless, ungrateful bastard!
Take this time for example, he actually dared to do such a thing without telling us, it's simply too much! And, if it weren't for him..."
Having said that, Mei Huarong paused for a moment, as if trying to calm his inner anger, and then continued:
"He's such an ungrateful little bastard, he even reported his own uncle! It's really disheartening!"
Hearing this, Lu Dongsheng couldn't help but frowned and retorted:
"Alright, stop scolding him. Think about it carefully. We haven't taken good care of him in all these years, and Mei Yunhe has never even looked at him straight in the eye.
But Lu Yu endured it silently.
This time, if it weren't for your willful niece who actually wanted to break up his family and even wanted to marry him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have reached the point where he turned against us."
Facing her husband's accusations, Mei Huarong could not help but get angry and shouted in a low voice:
"Now you're talking about our faults. Why did you listen to me when I mentioned this to you?"
Lu Dongsheng sighed helplessly and responded:
"I really didn't care about what you said at the beginning, but now it's done. What can I do? Forget it, everything has become the past. I might as well accept my fate!"
However, thinking that Lu Yu was about to rise to prominence and have a successful career, while their family was still in a difficult situation, Lu Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.
He kept repeating to himself, as if these words could alleviate the worries and uneasiness in his heart:
"He's been on a smooth, steady rise, but what should we do next? How could this kid be so heartless? Does he really not even care about the slightest bit of brotherly affection?"
However, not long after he said this, he seemed to suddenly realize something and immediately denied his previous thoughts.
"Ah! Come to think of it, we didn't treat them well back then. What's the point of complaining about this and that now?
I have never sincerely given anything to others, yet I still wish for them to help me and fill my void. Isn't this just wishful thinking and a foolish dream? Where in the world can such a good thing happen that is easy to get without any effort?
As the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain'. If you are not willing to work hard to sow seeds and labor, how can there be rich fruits waiting for you to pick?
So, I'd better stop daydreaming. It's better to give up the idea of 'dreaming of getting a wife' as soon as possible.
"Never mind, never mind. You have to be more open-minded about everything. After all, I'm responsible for the situation I'm in today. Since it's irreversible, there's no need to keep nagging and forcing things."
At this moment, there seemed to be two villains fighting in Lu Dongsheng's mind.
