Ruan Meiying could only look to Lu Hongming for help; if something happened to her, Lu Hongming would also lose face.
Lu Hongming understood his grandfather's meaning: first, divorce Ruan Meiying; after the divorce, whatever Ruan Meiying did would no longer be his concern.
Lu Hongming understood and said, "Qingling, my grandfather has his own ideas. It's a private matter for our Lu family. I need to resolve this with him first, and then let him handle the matter between you."
Ruan Qingling shook her head and said, "If I hadn't seen her today, I would have continued searching, but now that I have, I can't let things continue like this."
"She either comes with me to the police station and confesses, or I go to call the police now. You two need to sort things out yourselves before the police arrive."
Ruan Meiying held Lu Hongming's hand and said, "We can't let her do that. You've seen it yourself, she has no humanity."
Lu Hongming's eyes turned cold, and he pulled his hand back: "After what you've done, do you still have the right to judge others?"
Ruan Meiying was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Don't say that about me. I had no choice at the time."
Lu Hongming looked at Ruan Meiying with a cold gaze.
Ruan Qingling snorted and said, "So, from childhood to adulthood, everything has been because there was no other way?"
Ruan Meiying's body stiffened for a moment.
Ruan Qingling had already reached the doorway.
Lu Yuanping called out from behind, "Xiao Ruan, wait a moment."
Ruan Qingling stopped and turned to look at Lu Yuanping.
Lu Yuanping looked at Ruan Meiying: "Your affairs are already messy enough. My suggestion is that you two go get a divorce first, and then deal with whatever needs to be done after the divorce."
Ruan Meiying wasn't that stupid. Now that they were divorced, it meant that Lu Hongming had nothing to do with her anymore. She had gone through so much trouble to get on this ship.
Do you think she's willing to get off the ship now?
Ruan Meiying stated her position: "Grandpa, I've already told you what I needed to say. Will you give me another chance? I'll see how I behave later. Nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Past mistakes are past mistakes. Since I met Hongming, I haven't done anything wrong..."
No?
Ruan Qingling snorted: "Ruan Meiying, if your memory isn't good, let me help you recall, when those people you hired came to town and started hitting me with hoes..."
At this point, she even looked at Lu Hongming, appearing thoughtful: "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lu, did you also help her deal with me? Because I found out before that Ruan Meiying had someone backing her all along."
Her gaze made Lu Hongming feel like he couldn't breathe.
This is really true!
He didn't think much about it at the time. Ruan Meiying told him that Ruan Qingling was a very bad person... He just wanted to help Ruan Meiying.
At this point, Lu Hongming was suddenly drawn into the situation as well.
He looked at Ruan Qingling and felt genuinely guilty, because when he was blaming Ruan Meiying, he hadn't realized that Ruan Meiying was also an accomplice.
Now that Ruan Qingling has identified him, he feels incredibly embarrassed.
He said, "I'm sorry, because I didn't verify the facts before, and only relied on her side of the story."
Lu Yuanping looked at his grandson in surprise, wondering if he had done something else. Seeing his grandfather's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Hongming had no choice but to recount what Ruan Meiying had told him back then.
Ruan Meiying felt that her path had been blocked by Ruan Qingling, and she looked at Ruan Qingling with resentment.
"Ruan Qingling, you've already gotten everything you wanted, and you still can't find your biological parents. I have nothing left now, so why won't you let me go?"
Ruan Qingling: "When I had nothing, did you leave me alone? You relentlessly pursued me, not only harming me but also ruining my reputation."
"Ruan Meiying, when you did those things, did you ever think about this day coming to pass? How dare you ask me not to pursue the matter now?"
Ruan Meiying knew that she had to lower her stance today, otherwise she might end up with nothing.
She immediately put on a repentant expression: "Qingling, for the sake of our sisterhood, please forgive me for being blinded by greed."
Ruan Qingling snorted: "If everyone who makes a mistake can get away with it by saying they're blinded by greed, then what's the point of having police in this world?"
Her voice was cold: "I'm just asking you, do you want to come to the police station with me right now, or should I go and have the police come and arrest you?"
Ruan Meiying said, "Since you know Grandpa, at least give him some face."
Knowing full well that Ruan Qingling wouldn't give her any face no matter what she said, she simply brought up Lu Yuanping instead.
Ruan Qingling said, "If I happen to run into you here today, don't give me any excuses or try to pull anyone along. This score will absolutely be settled."
Ruan Meiying pleaded pitifully, "Hongming, please help me. No matter what, I am your wife now. I made a mistake and embarrassed you. I promise you, this will never happen again."
Lu Hongming felt a throbbing pain in his head.
Just as he was about to speak, he said, "Qingling..."
However, Ruan Qingling's face was serious as she said directly, "You can call me Comrade Ruan, or you can call me Miss Ruan the Second."
Lu Hongming paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said, "Miss Ruan, could you give us a little time?"
Ruan Qingling was unwilling to say any more.
This Lu family doesn't seem to be a particularly respectable family.
She said, "Mr. Lu, there wasn't much of a conflict between us. In fact, I even thought about donating medicine. Now I realize that there are such deep grudges and hatred between us."
Lu Hongming quickly explained, "It was indeed a misunderstanding."
Ruan Qingling raised an eyebrow: "The misunderstanding will be cleared up, but at this point, you still want me not to take revenge?"
Lu Yuanping then said, "It's not that I don't want you to take revenge, but Hongming and Ruan Meiying have already registered their marriage. Given what happened, I hope they will dissolve their marriage. Therefore, I hope you can deal with this matter after they have dissolved their marriage."
Ruan Qingling looked directly at Lu Yuanping: "So, Mr. Lu, you mean that no matter how much injustice and pain I have suffered, I must wait for you to finish resolving your own issues before I can settle accounts with her?"
“Don’t you think this is very unfair to me, Mr. Lu? Ruan Meiying is a cunning person. If I don’t arrest her today, she might run away tomorrow. Since God has let me meet her, I don’t want to let this opportunity pass me by.”
Lu Yuanping was speechless. If this matter continued to be discussed, it was clear that his family was in the wrong.
Ruan Qingling knew what Lu Yuanping was planning, but she didn't need to pay the price for the Lu family's reputation.
They had trusted Nguyen My Anh before and did many things that hurt themselves for her. Now, she's not holding it against them because they were unaware of the situation, but it's impossible for her to give them any more time.
She asked, "Ruan Meiying, I'll ask you one more time, are you coming to the police station with me now, or should I call the police officers over?"
