Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 734 - 705: New Project_2
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 Chi’s matter hit the gun right on the mark, even Dad can’t 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."
"It’s all because of that Ye Qing. If it weren’t for her, how could Xiao Chi be threatened?"
"Xiao Chi’s matter isn’t just about the military. It’s 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 he’s too old to get around now.
"Now that Shuping’s gone over there, let’s wait and see the situation. The military uniform can’t be kept, but let’s see if we can maneuver things so that the kid doesn’t end up in jail, that’s the main thing."
If he really ends up in jail, the child’s life would really be over. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Mei Shuqing doesn’t see it that way. The things Xiao Chi has done are serious crimes, violating the law as a military officer, plus the other things he’s done these past two years, he can’t avoid prison.
Even if he could help, he wouldn’t 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 won’t follow them into confusion.
Liang Qian originally didn’t want to come. If it weren’t for her father-in-law asking them to come over, she wouldn’t have stepped into this house.
From the moment she entered, she’s 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 wouldn’t help, they could only wait for Shuping’s news.
....
"Did I hear your nephew got into trouble?" Lin Guozhi and Liang Hongmei arrived at Mei Shuqing’s house on the afternoon of the second day of the New Year.
Hearing the Mei Family was worried about Mei Langchi’s matter, Lin Guozhi didn’t 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 won’t 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 they’re 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 Chi’s 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 hadn’t 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 you’d arranged them to be in Z City. We haven’t seen Junzi for years and now it’s even more infuriating."
"You can’t rush the kids’ marriage matters; otherwise, they might develop a rebellious mindset." Liang Hongmei thought Mei Lang Jun wasn’t willing to come back because he was afraid of arranged matchmaking.
"If it’s just that, it’d be fine. You don’t know, the kid...actually likes Xiao Chi’s ex-wife. What are we supposed to do!"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
"Really, the kid hasn’t told us, but these past two years, Junzi has been close to Tao Jia. We’re his parents, we know him best. He wouldn’t 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 Jia’s family will certainly not agree. I also don’t want my son to marry someone who’s divorced. Sigh..." Liang Qian has been sleepless worrying about her son’s matter for the past year and doesn’t 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 won’t help."
