Li Mubai raised his lips slightly. He was unwilling to take action against the Lu family. It was not that he cared about the reputation of the Lu family, but that he did not want to stain his hands with the blood of the Lu family before it was confirmed. As for his future in the officialdom
, this is really what Li Mubai doesn't care about the least.
Li Mubai has already understood that his personality is not suitable for being in the officialdom. No matter how many people value him or how many achievements he has made, he can always be clearly aware of his own shortcomings and shortcomings.
As the saying goes, if you stand in a wall and have no desires, you will be strong. Li Mubai has no worries. Even if he is standing in the Lu family, which is envied and looked up to by many people, his back is still as tall and straight as a green pine, and his eyes still reveal perseverance and coldness.
Although Lu Rufeng didn't know where Li Mubai's confidence was, he could feel the fleeting murderous look in Li Mubai's eyes. If this guy really went crazy, the Lu family's flagship would probably be chiseled today.
The hole is big enough to sink.
It's not that the Lu family has no opponents, it's just that due to Lu Peng's current position, or the Lu family's caution, they didn't give their opponents a chance to make a move. But if Li Mubai is really desperate to make a move, Lu Rufeng believes that those opponents will be very willing to attack.
The latter will add fuel to the flames, and there is even a possibility of forcing a palace before the change of office, and then stage another episode of adding insult to injury.
Li Mubai may have understood this. This kid pointed at Bao Yilin very rebelliously and said coldly: "I would rather bully a white-bearded man than a poor young man. Read more books when you have time."
After finishing speaking, Li Mubai sat down on a chair without hesitation. As for the position, he didn't care at all. Moreover, Li Mubai's target was also very direct. He did not do anything excessive to the other uncles.
But this sentence "It is better to bully a white-bearded man than to bully a poor young man." In the ears of the four brothers of the Lu family, it was like a thunder. Everyone has heard this sentence, and they understand the meaning of this sentence better.
Reason. But at this time, Li Mubai said it without changing his expression and with a determined look on his face. What did he mean?
threaten?
warn?
put all one's eggs in one basket?
Although the four brothers in the Lu family are all in their forties, none of them can accurately analyze Li Mubai's thoughts. However, one thing is obvious to all, this guy is an unreasonable lunatic, and he
Don't hesitate to burn the boat.
Li Mubai is only twenty-two years old now. Even if he loses his official status, he still cannot marry the little princess of the Tang family. But youth is his greatest asset. The one from the Ding family and Yuehai is definitely capable of marrying Li Mubai.
Make a comeback after dormancy. But what kind of situation will the Lu family be in at that time?
Perhaps the four brothers thought about this and realized that sometimes barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, especially since this barefoot person has a strong backing support.
"Mu Bai is here." Just when everyone was in an embarrassing situation and had to face it, Lu Pengzhan's somewhat disappointed voice came in: "Come to the study."
"Dad, you have to make the decision for Xiaofeng!" Seeing Lu Pengzhan's figure, Bao Yilin rushed over suddenly, almost kneeling in front of Lu Pengzhan, and said with tears in her eyes.
Lu Pengzhan did not speak, but turned his gaze to Lu Rulin. There was a bit of disappointment, dissatisfaction, and even a bit of coldness in his eyes.
Lu Rulin had forgotten how many years he had not seen his father look like this. He immediately took a few steps forward and pulled his wife up, and said sternly: "Don't be ridiculous."
Originally, Lu Rulin wanted to say that his father would definitely make the decision for Xiaofeng in this matter. But when it came to his lips, Lu Rulin swallowed it. He knew his father's character very well, and it was this man who made the decision to let Lu Xiaofeng leave the capital.
The old man said it in front of the whole family. At first, he thought his father was too protective of the boy Li Mubai, but now it seems that his father is not defending Li Mubai, but protecting his granddaughter. It is a pity that his daughter does not know him
At this point, even he himself only understood his father's good intentions today.
It has to be said that the old man's move left Li Mubai with no excuse. Li Mubai also had to admit that Jiang was still hotter when he was old. But when Li Mubai walked through the living room and passed Lu Rulin, he suddenly turned around leisurely.
He stood up, stared at Lu Rulin with a pair of starry eyes, gently raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and moved it slowly on his neck.
No one knows the meaning of this action. It is a naked provocation and threat. However, Lu Rulin didn't know why, after Li Mubai put down his arm, he suddenly felt like a light on his back, and a chill.
It suddenly surged in my heart.
Does this kid already know?
Involuntarily, a huge question mark appeared in Lu Rulin's heart.
When Li Mubai turned around again, the corners of his mouth turned into a curve of disdain and contempt. That extremely arrogant attitude was deeply imprinted in the minds of the four brothers of the Lu family.
Lu Rulin now began to doubt whether the decision he made at the time was the right one. Although he felt regretful, Lu Rulin didn't think that Li Mubai really dared to burn the boat, and it would not do him any good at all.
He was always used to considering this issue from the perspective of a businessman. He ignored Li Mubai's character and ignored that the hatred had long been buried deep in Li Mubai's young heart.
"What do you want to do? Is this your revenge on the Lu family?" Sitting on the chair, Lu Pengzhan suddenly felt that he was really old, especially when he saw Li Mubai's eyes without flinching at all.
"Why do you say that?" Li Mubai smiled, poured a glass of water for Lu Pengzhan, and said, "I have never thought about revenge or anything like that, and I have never actively provoked anyone in the Lu family.
Whether it’s uncles or brothers and sisters.”
After saying this, Li Mubai sat down on the sofa, and even said with a pitiful look: "I am just a small person. I am cautious no matter what I do, for fear that my life will be lost at some point."
"Put away your yin and yang aura."
The corners of Lu Pengzhan's mouth twitched fiercely. When did this kid learn to be so shameless? If this is still called cautious, what if he becomes arrogant? Especially when he heard Li Mubai's last words, he
Understand, even if Li Mubai doesn't have conclusive evidence now, he has found many clues. Otherwise, he would never have said this at this time.
"Then what do you want to hear? What do you want me to do?" Li Mubai was also very conflicted at this time. If it hadn't been for the old man's original decision, he might not have achieved such an achievement now, and he wouldn't have made the same acquaintances.
Come to the two good brothers Ding Yiyi and Jiang Hongyu. But he will have a home with both parents. Maybe it is not necessarily very warm. Maybe he is just an unknown little person. But that kind of family happiness will never be
Missing a little bit.
Maybe it was because he had been suppressed for too long, or maybe he was young. Before Lu Pengzhan could speak, Li Mubai said again: "Should I go out and kneel on the ground, kowtow to my dead uncle and admit my mistake, and then stay away from the capital and die as a martyr before dying?"
Do you want to leave a suicide note before you die, expressing your gratitude to the Lu family for their support and care?"
Li Mubai's words were like a knife, piercing Lu Pengzhan's heart every word.
He didn't see Li Mubai's red eyes. On the contrary, what he saw was endless ridicule, disdain and indifference.
"How about I make a statement that I will have nothing to do with the Lu family from now on, so you don't have to do anything difficult." Finally, Li Mubai raised the corners of his mouth and stood up, although it seemed that there was something in his eyes.
There is a certain amount of calmness, but my heart is filled with turmoil.
"I'll let the Fourth Brother give you an explanation." Lu Pengzhan's hands trembled slightly. He knew that Li Mubai was forcing him to express his position. Rather than making a choice between Li Mubai and Lu Rulin, it was better to say that Li Mubai wanted to make a decision.
An explanation from the Lu family.
After saying this, Lu Pengzhan suddenly felt that he was much older. It was she who forced his daughter away, whether it was for the sake of the family or for his own face, but he never thought that his grandson would...
Now it has grown to a point where it can be equal to the Lu family, and even threaten the Lu family.
This has nothing to do with his level, and it has nothing to do with his age. Lu Pengzhan couldn't help but suddenly felt that he no longer had the passion to compete when he was young. Whether it was because of his wrong decision back then, or for the sake of his current family, he must
A choice has to be made.
Waving his hand, Lu Pengzhan said with dull eyes: "You can go, I will give you an explanation within three days."
He didn't even know why he said these first words, and his old heart became extremely heavy in an instant.
Li Mubai didn't speak, and nodded silently. When he walked to the door and opened the door, he suddenly stopped and said without looking back: "I have never liked trouble, and I never take the initiative to cause trouble.
Trouble, but the premise is that no one provokes me. In fact, you don’t need to give me any explanation. I think what you need most is to give yourself an explanation."
After finishing speaking, Li Mubai strode out of the study. He did not go to see his grandma, nor did he say hello to anyone in the Lu family. As if he had never appeared before, he silently disappeared into the Lu family's courtyard.
At this time, Li Mubai's emotions were indescribable and very complicated.
When Lu Pengzhan said the last words, he already understood that what happened back then was definitely related to the Lu family. Is doing this today considered a feeling of pride? Is it considered a successful revenge?
But he didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, his mood was very heavy. Even he himself didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so. If his mother was still alive and his father was still alive, would he have seen this today?
Will you be happy, will you be satisfied, maybe not...
