"Since you don't believe me, why bother to question me?" Huangfulie put away his hospitality and answered coldly. Even if any man sees his woman questioning him like this for another man, he can't look good, right?
"Does that mean you won't let Brother Lan go?" Mu Ruyi sneered and looked at Huangfulie, but did not answer Huangfulie's words.
"Princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. What's more, this is a legal society. If your brother Lan breaks the law, he should be punished by the law. As a mere commoner, what right do I have to let him go?" Huangfulie asked Mu in a cold voice.
Ruyi also emphasized the word "Brother Lan" very strongly.
"We plain people don't talk secretly, so why do you have to speak in official tone to me?" Mu Ruyi couldn't stand Huangfulie's attitude.
"Oh? Should I remind you something first, Mrs. Huangfu?" Huangfulie suddenly approached Mu Ruyi and said in a low voice.
Mu Ruyi's body trembled, and when he looked at Huangfulie again, his expression changed again.
"Mrs. Huangfu? Haha, I think it won't be the case soon." Regarding the title Mrs. Huangfu, Mu Ruyi felt that it was sarcastic.
"No one in this world can leave without my consent, and the same goes for you, Mu Ruyi." Although Huangfulie's voice was not loud, it was domineering, and no one dared to doubt the authenticity of what he said.
"Oh, Mr. Huangfu, do you think you are God? Sorry, I don't believe in Christ." Mu Ruyi replied unceremoniously.
"Then you will believe it." His tone was obviously light, but there was a feeling of tension.
"It's not a big deal." Mu Ruyi stood up suddenly. He didn't expect Huangfulie to be so despicable. Would he deal with him just because he said he liked Lan Xiatong?
Mu Ruyi never knew that Huangfulie could live in the same room with Miss Susan for nearly a month or even longer, but why would he indiscriminately throw dirty water on others just because he said he liked Lan Xiatong?
Who is Lan Xiatong? He is the brother she has admired immensely since college. He is the relative who has taken good care of her during Huangfulie's absence for five years. Although she, Mu Ruyi, cannot repay his love, she cannot look at him either.
Having been slandered all her life, she, Mu Ruyi, could guarantee Lan Xiatong's character with her own life.
"Wait a minute." Seeing that Mu Ruyi was about to leave, Huangfulie stopped him loudly.
"What? Mr. Huangfu thinks that I am a prostitute and offends you, so you are planning to get me in?" Mu Ruyi turned around proudly and said sarcastically.
A hint of pain flashed through his dark eyes, as deep as a trance, but he didn't want to be seen by the little woman in front of him. He asked in a cold voice, "Do you really believe that Lan Xiatong is innocent?"
"I can guarantee it with my life." Mu Ruyi replied without hesitation.
"Haha... Really? So you believe him and not me?" Huangfulie felt for the first time that his life was such a failure.
"Stop joking, why do you let others believe you?" He said hurtful words, but the heartache was not much better than the one who listened.
Huangfulie stared at Mu Ruyi, wondering if the little woman would regret her words at all, but Mu Ruyi's face showed no sign of remorse, and instead kept looking at him with a little ridicule.
"Woman, you will pay for what you said today." Huangfulie approached Mu Ruyi, and the breath that belonged to Huangfulie sprayed on Mu Ruyi's neck, making her blush involuntarily, and then backed away slightly.
"Since Mr. Huangfu wants to bully others, what can we, the real ordinary people, do?"
"You..." Huangfulie first felt that he would be pissed to death by this woman sooner or later.
"Since Mr. Huangfu has nothing to do, I'll take my leave first." After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant without waiting for Huangfulie's reply. She knew that since Huangfulie could say such things, he would obviously not help Lan Xia.
Tong's.
Since Huangfulie couldn't help, Mu Ruyi could only think of that person in the end.
But... Mu Ruyi held the steering wheel with some hesitation, wondering whether she should go find Lan Xiatong's uncle, but this hesitation did not last long. She had to rescue Lan Xiatong, otherwise she would not give up.
Yes, even as a friend or relative, she couldn't just sit back and watch.
Turning the steering wheel, Mu Ruyi drove away again, but this time she relied entirely on her own messy memories to find the yard where Uncle Lan Xiatong was.
Fortunately, Mu Ruyi was lucky and found it by accident, but in fact it was not as simple as Mu Ruyi thought. After being informed by the guard, Mu Ruyi was unfortunately turned away due to busy official duties.
, this attitude is completely different from the last time I came to invite Mu Ruyi.
For the first time, Mu Ruyi deeply realized what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships.
Just when Mu Ruyi was thinking about how to meet Mr. Lan, Lan Xueyan walked out of the door with a decadent look on her face.
"Xiaoyan." Looking at the somewhat lost Lan Xueyan, Mu Ruyi called out eagerly.
Lan Xueyan had just begged her uncle to save her brother, but Uncle Lan, who had always regarded them as his own, did not offer help to them this time, and even angrily reprimanded his brother for his behavior.
For the first time, Lan Xueyan felt that her backbone was gone. How could her brother, the invincible idol in her heart, do those things?
Lan Xueyan looked up in a daze and saw Mu Ruyi with a worried look on his face.
"Xiao Ru, why are you here?" Lan Xueyan was also very surprised.
"I……"
"I understand, it's no use, I'll go back first." Lan Xueyan knew that Mu Ruyi had the same goal as her when she saw her expression, but she had just now deeply understood what it means to kill relatives for justice, so why let Mu Ruyi
Being wronged again and again.
Lan Xueyan felt that she was too naive. This would be a critical period for her uncle. How could he embarrass his political future for the sake of his brother? Besides, the original controversy in the past few days had been focused on his uncle. It had only been a few days.
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Lan Xueyan had to wonder whether the man behind the scenes was actually her uncle.
Lan Xueyan had an inexplicable resistance to people in the political arena. Even though her brother had a smooth career, Lan Xueyan couldn't help but be frightened, but she never thought of what she was afraid of.
"Why is it useless?" Mu Ruyi was a little surprised. After all, Uncle Lan's current status cannot be shaken by ordinary people. Besides, she firmly believed that Lan Xiatong was wronged, so she was just helping him prove his innocence, so why was it so embarrassing?
?
"Xiao Ru, things are not as simple as you think." Lan Xueyan said a little decadently.
"I don't believe it." After Mu Ruyi said that, she rushed straight into the yard. The guards couldn't stop her and couldn't do anything to her. Mu Ruyi shouted loudly and wanted to see Mr. Lan.
In the end, the guard had no choice but to announce again. After a while, Mu Ruyi was invited in, and Lan Xueyan followed behind uneasily.
When they arrived at the atrium, Mr. Lan was wearing a Chinese tunic suit with his hair combed back. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the two of them, "Instead of looking for me, Mrs. Huangfu might as well look for Mr. Huangfu first."
While speaking, Mr. Lan suddenly raised his head. This was the first time that Mu Ruyi saw this gentleman's eyes clearly. They were as sharp and sharp as an eagle, which was different from the gentle middle-aged man on TV and the wise man he saw last time.
Uncle's feelings are completely different.
"I don't understand what Mr. Lan means." The outside world announced that Huangfulie was dead. Even her wife only knew that Huangfulie had faked his death. The degree of secrecy was evident. How could Mr. Lan know that Huangfulie was still alive?
Mu Ruyi couldn't help but become alert.
"Haha... I have always admired Miss Mu, and I have always felt very sorry that my nephew could not win Miss Mu's heart. Now it seems that I have overthought it. Miss Mu and Mr. Huangfu are deeply in love with each other, so how can he be my nephew?"
You can intervene, ugh." Mr. Lan suddenly changed the topic, and finally sighed deeply, catching Mu Ruyi a little off guard.
"What do you mean by that?" Although she could vaguely hear that this person was insinuating that Lan Xiatong was harmed because she was not Huangfu Lie, and even Mu Ruyi herself was suspicious, but from the bottom of her heart she did not believe that Huangfulie would do what he did.
This kind of thing, besides, the man did not admit it. Since he did not admit it, he must not have done it.
"Miss Mu is so smart, why should she say it so clearly to see the guests off." After Mr. Lan finished speaking, he had no intention of keeping the guests and directly asked his adjutant to see them off.
Mu Ruyi was a little annoyed, but couldn't do anything about the other party. Seeing this, Lan Xueyan lowered her head and pulled Mu Ruyi away. She thought Mu Ruyi hadn't paid attention to the recent news.
Outside the range of the Lan family, Mu Ruyi threw away Lan Xueyan's arm and asked angrily, "Is he your uncle?"
Lan Xueyan nodded with infinite grievance, and now she felt that she didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, let's think of a solution later." Mu Ru's eyes almost burst into tears when she saw Lan Xueyan, a female man, and she hurriedly said in a calm tone.
"Xiao Ru, I can't let anything happen to my brother. We haven't had parents since we were young. Although I followed my uncle, it was my brother who raised me single-handedly. If he has any shortcomings, I won't be able to survive." Lan Xueyan's pair.
Her charming big eyes were now filled with tears, which made Mu Ruyi feel heartbroken.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to Brother Lan." Mu Ruyi said firmly to Lan Xueyan.
Lan Xueyan nodded fiercely, but her heart sank little by little. This political matter was no different than other matters. Once something went wrong, it would be difficult to get over. What's more, the evidence now was completely unfavorable to her elder brother. What should they do?
Mu Ruyi also had a gloomy look on her face. At this moment, a car in front of them stopped in front of them. Mu Ruyi raised her head and saw Smith getting out of the car. She was a little stunned and suddenly remembered what Lan Xueyan had told her.
, I have a mixed-race boyfriend, could it be Smith?
The world is really small.
Smith nodded to Mu Ru, then strode up to Lan Xueyan, making a gesture of hugging Lan Xueyan.
"Why did you find yourself here?" Lan Xueyan asked awkwardly.
"Go home first." Smith didn't want to talk too much to Lan Xueyan here.
"Oh, but I want to accompany..."
"I'm fine, you guys go back first, I'm driving here." Mu Ruyi hurriedly interrupted Lan Xueyan, she believed that Lan Xueyan needed Smith even more now.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Smith said naturally, but Mu Ruyi's face turned slightly red for an instant. She was no longer their sister-in-law.
Lan Xueyan was in a low mood and wanted to resist, but was pulled and hugged by Smith and dragged directly into the car.
Mu Ruyi laughed a little. She didn't expect that one day a man would make a wild girl like Lan Xueyan docile, and what about herself? Thinking of Huangfulie's attitude today and the reflection of Mr. Lan, could it be that Lan Xiatong
Is his imprisonment really related to Huangfulie?
Mu Ruyi looked at the time in a daze. Xiaotian was almost out of school. She had no choice but to hesitate any longer. Mu Ruyi got in the car and headed back to school. Maybe she should go see Lan Xiatong first tomorrow, so that she would have a better idea.
.
Then, before Mu Ruyi could go to see Lan Xiatong, another explosive news hit the front page, that is, due to Mr. Lan's recent personal credibility issues, King Dis wanted to unilaterally terminate a series of contracts signed with Mr. Lan.
trade contracts and began to look for new partners in the country.
This undoubtedly brought a greater crisis to Mr. Lan, and it was more fatal than the previous ones. After all, the previous ones were just shadows, but this one is an ironclad fact.
Now not only the media and the public are in an uproar, but other high-level officials of the central government have also begun to pay attention to this matter. After all, the trade contract with Dis is not only a matter of economic interests, but also involves the friendship between the two countries, and it is considered an international issue.
The matter has reached such an unbearable level that Mr. Lan, who has been in the political arena for many years, is suddenly in a difficult situation in the country. His original qualification as the leader's successor may be revoked, and the matter is becoming more and more urgent.
In the quadrangle, Mr. Lan, who always seemed to have a gentle temper, pushed the documents on the table to the ground. He had been working hard in politics for many years and had exhausted all his agencies. He had lost so much to get where he is today and how much he had done.
He just got this opportunity to reach the center of power, how could he ruin it so easily? Or was it ruined in the hands of a few young people? How could he be willing to do this?
"Help me keep an eye on the person named Tong." Finally, this old man who was over fifty but had no change in ambition, said to his adjutant, and that Mr. Tong was none other than Mr. Lan this time.
