The members of the Mei Family in the hall sighed one by one.
"What can be done, this year several top leaders happened to visit the military base in G City. Xiao Chiâs matter hit the gun right on the mark, even Dad canât do anything, nor can I." Mei Shuqing said, anger on his face, looking disappointed. "Since he did such a thing, he should know what kind of consequences would follow."
"Itâs all because of that Ye Qing. If it werenât for her, how could Xiao Chi be threatened?"
"Xiao Chiâs matter isnât just about the military. Itâs not that simple. Besides that, they found out he used his position and power for bribery to arrange positions for people. This is the real issue." Old Mei was angry to the point of wanting to slap his grandson twice, but heâs too old to get around now.
"Now that Shupingâs gone over there, letâs wait and see the situation. The military uniform canât be kept, but letâs see if we can maneuver things so that the kid doesnât end up in jail, thatâs the main thing."
If he really ends up in jail, the childâs life would really be over.
Mei Shuqing doesnât see it that way. The things Xiao Chi has done are serious crimes, violating the law as a military officer, plus the other things heâs done these past two years, he canât avoid prison.
Even if he could help, he wouldnât help Mei Langchi; such a person is simply not fit to be in the unit, even if he is his own nephew.
His father is old and confused, unable to see the current situation clearly; he wonât follow them into confusion.
Liang Qian originally didnât want to come. If it werenât for her father-in-law asking them to come over, she wouldnât have stepped into this house.
From the moment she entered, sheâs been watching Xie Lingzhi cry over there. She was quite happy in her heart.
The Mei Family held a family meeting for two hours without coming up with any solution.
Sitting around anxiously like this wouldnât help, they could only wait for Shupingâs news.
....
"Did I hear your nephew got into trouble?" Lin Guozhi and Liang Hongmei arrived at Mei Shuqingâs house on the afternoon of the second day of the New Year.
Hearing the Mei Family was worried about Mei Langchiâs matter, Lin Guozhi didnât care whether Mei Shuqing was happy or not, and chuckled.
"Now my sister-in-law cries at home every day, Old Mei made several calls, but even long-time friends wonât make promises this time. I think nobody will stick their neck out for this." Mei Shuqing saw clearly.
"In sensitive times, policies just came down from the top, resources are scarce, military supplies are tight, and theyâre cutting down the military to ease things, and your nephew hit the mark with bribery and corruption. The top leaders are all there. Who would be foolish enough to step forward?"
"Sigh, Xiao Chiâs been reckless these past few years, never learning from his mistakes. He should bear the consequences for his actions and understand that not everything can be shielded by family." "He needs to have his arrogance curbed, lest he keeps causing trouble for the kids." Lin Guozhi spoke vaguely, but Mei Shuqing understood and nodded silently. The two clinked glasses and drank it in one gulp, then started talking about other things.
Liang Hongmei hadnât seen Liang Qian for years, so after helping the two men prepare some snacks, Liang Qian pulled her upstairs to look at the bedrooms for the kids.
"Sigh, originally hoped Ah Hui and Xiao Wan would stay in the Capital City, but who knew youâd arranged them to be in Z City. We havenât seen Junzi for years and now itâs even more infuriating."
"You canât rush the kidsâ marriage matters; otherwise, they might develop a rebellious mindset." Liang Hongmei thought Mei Lang Jun wasnât willing to come back because he was afraid of arranged matchmaking.
"If itâs just that, itâd be fine. You donât know, the kid...actually likes Xiao Chiâs ex-wife. What are we supposed to do!"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
"Really, the kid hasnât told us, but these past two years, Junzi has been close to Tao Jia. Weâre his parents, we know him best. He wouldnât be so devoted unless he liked her. Tao Jia is indeed nice, but after all, she has such relations with Xiao Chi. If they really end up together, the eldest family will definitely stir up trouble, and Tao Jiaâs family will certainly not agree. I also donât want my son to marry someone whoâs divorced. Sigh..." Liang Qian has been sleepless worrying about her sonâs matter for the past year and doesnât know what to do.
Liang Hongmei also felt this was a tough situation. "What does Tao Jia think? If they truly have feelings for each other, no matter the opposition, it wonât help."
