Chapter 984: Chapter 680: The Short Life of a Beauty (Part 4)
Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu,
"These Rong Family people... is there not a single good person among them?"
It’s normal to have this kind of doubt.
"You can’t say that... the distinction between good and bad people is very blurred... Moreover, the affairs of the previous generation of the Rong Family are too far from us, the younger generation, so it’s difficult for us to make a judgment on where the problem lies..."
Yin Shixiu said lightly.
Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath,
"Since the Dean of the National Science Academy is Rong Si’s uncle, Rong Liang, then the person... responsible for the death of Dean Xiao’s wife must be... Rong Si’s cousin?"
"Yes, Rong Si’s cousin..."
"Where is she now? Has she not been brought to justice?"
"Brought to justice? Haha... Mrs. Yin... who has the power to bring to justice the daughter of a leading figure who has made outstanding contributions to national scientific research? Haha... you young people... don’t understand..."
"Don’t understand the chaos of that era, the helplessness of ordinary people in that turbulent society... hehe..."
Xiao Anhe waved his hand,
"They say it’s a society governed by law, but in reality... it’s a society where personal power surpasses the rule of law..."
"..."
Xiao Anhe’s words may initially sound like a disenchanted youth criticizing society due to his own impotence.
But Su Xiaomeng... her heart suddenly felt pierced by Xiao Anhe’s words.
A society where personal power surpasses the rule of law...
To speak such words in that era would surely get one arrested.
"People break the law, yet for various reasons and with all sorts of connections, they are sheltered and protected..."
Xiao Anhe continued, while Yin Shixiu also faintly sensed something.
The couple exchanged a knowing glance.
Xiao Anhe laughed lightly as he raised his eyes, tears in his gaze, "What do you think... isn’t it true?"
Xiao Anhe laughed lightly as he raised his eyes, tears in his gaze, "What do you think... isn’t it true?"
"Dean Xiao... it seems you know... quite a bit about our affairs."
Yin Shixiu said lightly, touching the water cup beside him, his palm rubbing against it.
Xiao Anhe pulled some tissues from the side, wiped his tears and sniffles, and didn’t deny it for the moment.
Su Xiaomeng looked at Xiao Anhe,
"Dean Xiao... it seems you’re very unwilling to let the Rong Family off easily..."
"Rong Liang sheltered his daughter, just because of a little jealousy, causing my beloved to lose her life... not to mention those carrying the Rong Family blood, even ordinary people with the surname Rong unrelated to the Rong Family in Beijing, I find them glaring..."
Xiao Anhe blew his nose and continued,
"I know... Brother Yin was seriously injured just over three months ago in the Tianjin Port incident, and I also know about the longstanding enmity between Brother Yin and the Rong Family’s father and son at Rong Group."
"Dean Xiao, you’re exaggerating. We can hardly say we have an irreconcilable enmity with the Rong Family."
Yin Shixiu quickly waved his hand, softly denying.
"Haha... even if Brother Yin doesn’t think so, doesn’t Mrs. Yin think so either?"
Xiao Anhe’s words suddenly shifted the focus to Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng raised her eyes and met Xiao Anhe’s gaze which was still visibly red and swollen.
"Someone who tries every means to send your husband to a watery grave, and indeed nearly succeeded, doesn’t Mrs. Yin feel this is irreconcilable?"
"..."
Su Xiaomeng pressed her lips together, even though Xiao Anhe revealed a moment of true emotion in front of them today.
As the meaning and direction of these words slightly shifted, Xiao Meng wouldn’t respond casually.
Though her big eyes were fixed on Xiao Anhe, she wanted to discern something from the tears in his eyes at that moment.
