Chapter 978: Chapter 978: March to Question the Fault 5

"What’s wrong with our Li Jun? What’s wrong with him? You tell me, you tell me!" Ye Qing was seething with anger.

Mei Ruolan was a smart person too. She quickly grasped the situation and realized that Jiang Yun and his son, as well as Lu Jiang, must have understood as well. However, as a woman, it was more convenient for Mei Ruolan to speak up, "Isn’t Li Jun just like those other young masters, secretly pursuing the girls from the literary and art troupe? He already has someone in mind, so why is he interfering with who Xiaoyue chooses to be with?"

Ye Qing was taken aback, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Mei Ruolan noticed Li Jun’s face turn pale, and spoke calmly, "Whether we’re talking nonsense or not, Comrade Ye Qing can just ask Li Jun to find out."

Seeing his face turn like that, it seemed Qingxue was right.

Ye Qing suddenly turned her head toward her son, and upon seeing the guilt on his face, she knew that what Mei Ruolan had said was true.

She wasn’t the only one who understood. Who present didn’t understand?

Jiang Yun was furious and said, "Go, go, go, all of you leave! Li Jun has done such a thing, and you still have the face to come to our door making accusations, blaming my daughter for choosing her own partner!"

If Ye Qing didn’t know, that’d be one thing, but Li Jun himself was very clear about what he had done. How could he have the face to go to his mother’s house?

In the past, Ye Qing thought Li Jun stood out among the shorter men, rare for his good character and scholarly demeanor. She believed he wouldn’t bully Jiang Xiaoyue, but now she realized that he and those other privileged young masters were cut from the same cloth.

"Li Jun!" Ye Qing shouted, "You explain to me what exactly is going on?"

"Mom, I... I... I didn’t do anything to wrong Xiaoyue! Really, I didn’t. I just joined in the fun and wrote a few letters with Tang Rao!" Li Jun shook his hands in a continuous effort to defend himself.

"It doesn’t mean you haven’t wronged our Xiaoyue just because you haven’t acted on your pursuit!" Mei Ruolan said indifferently, "Do we have to catch you red-handed in your mischief to say you’ve wronged Xiaoyue? Li Jun, you’re taking our Jiang Family too lightly. Our Jiang family’s eyes have never tolerated sand! Both of you please leave, don’t make it more embarrassing for everyone here."

With such a disappointing son, leaving such a handle in the hands of the Jiang family, Ye Qing had to swallow the accusations she had toward the Jiang Family and Jiang Xiaoyue. She forcefully dragged her son away without saying goodbye and didn’t look back once.

Without face, how could she look back?

After they had left, Mei Ruolan called Jiang Xiaoyue over, went to close the door herself, and just as she turned back to the dining room, she heard Lu Jiang ask Feng Qingxue, "Qingxue, how did you know Li Jun was pursuing a female soldier from the literary and art troupe? You never mentioned it to us."

Feng Qingxue said embarrassedly, "If I tell you, you must not say I’m gossiping behind people’s backs."

Speaking behind someone’s back was never a glorious matter.

"It’s fine, just tell us. We’re all family here, and it won’t spread outside." Jiang Yun had initially planned to give Lu Tianjun a hard time but seeing that Lu Jiang and his wife, as well as Lu Tianjun, didn’t hold any resentment towards Jiang Xiaoyue for Ye Qing’s confrontation, and instead showed full support, even managing to dispel Ye Qing’s attack, he pressed down the little schemes in his heart again and again until he finally let them go.

Feng Qingxue cleared her throat while Jiang Xiaoyue quickly handed her a cup of warm water from the enamel jar.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue." Feng Qingxue took a sip to moisten her throat, "As everyone knows, Xiaoyue and I have a good relationship. A friend of mine from the Capital Military District’s literary and art troupe tipped me off. That year, when Xiaoyue was assigned to work offstage and couldn’t perform, it was actually the Li Family pressuring the troupe. She even disdainfully said, she hadn’t even heard of Li Jun from the Li Family confirming a love relationship with Xiaoyue, and yet the Li Family had intermeddled, and she wondered on what basis."
