Xu Man didn’t say a word when she came in. Ma Wei winked at her several times, but she didn’t see it.
Knowing that Xu Man was unreliable, Ma Wei had to go himself.
He went up, shook Lu Rong’s hand, and said: “You are Comrade Lu, right? I often hear Man Man mention you. My name is Ma Wei, and I am Man Man’s current lover.”
Lu Rong’s mouth twitched when he heard it. Xu Man mentioned him? How was this possible?!
But, he nodded politely: “Hello, I’m Lu Rong.”
Xu Man also heard what Ma Wei said. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xiao Li watched this scene without blinking. Although there was no expression on his face, he couldn’t help but complain wildly in his heart.
He didn’t have a good impression of this woman who claimed to be Lu Rong’s ex-wife. Lu Rong was the Chief of Staff after all, and everyone had heard some things about him in private.
It was said that his previous divorce was caused by his ex-wife asking for it.
In the eyes of the soldiers, Lu Rong was undoubtedly a very qualified commander. Many of them admired him immensely. They couldn’t figure out why the wife of such an outstanding person would want a divorce.
In addition, now seeing the comparison between Lu Rong and Ma Wei, one was majestic and the other was servile…
It was really hard not to doubt whether there was something wrong with Xu Man’s eyes.
Ma Wei seemed to have noticed nothing and handed over the things in his hand. He smiled and said: “It’s just a small gift, a small token of my appreciation. I hope Comrade Lu won’t despise it.”
Lu Rong pushed it back directly: “No need for a meeting gift.”
“Yes, yes.” Ma Wei insisted on sending the gift over.
Lu Rong was too lazy to refuse him and said coldly: “We don’t take a single needle or thread from the masses. Comrade Ma, please don’t let me make a mistake.”
Lu Rong’s words directly classified Ma Wei and Xu Man as members of the masses, and at the same time, pointed out the seriousness of the problem.
Ma Wei’s face was embarrassed when he heard it. He didn’t dare to push things over again.
“What do you have to do this time?” Lu Zhou asked directly.
“This…” Ma Wei looked at the guard standing on the side several times, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Lu Rong pretended not to understand his hint.
What a joke! He kept Xiao Li here just to guard against this kind of thing!
Ma Wei knew that Lu Rong would not call Xiao Li out, and his heart sank.
He came to Lu Rong out of desperation, thinking that Lu Rong might still have some feelings for Xu Man since he hadn’t married for so many years. But now he saw that there was no old love between the two of them.
But now that he was here, Ma Wei was still unwilling to give up this opportunity.
Even if there was little hope, what if?!
Ma Wei sorted out his thoughts and gritted his teeth before vaguely stating his purpose.
Because Xiao Li was there, he couldn’t explain it too clearly.
Since he didn’t explain clearly, Lu Rong was happy to play dumb and followed Ma Wei’s words, not agreeing to anything anyway.
Ma Wei talked until his mouth was dry, but it was useless.
Xu Man became increasingly angry as she watched Lu Rong remain unmoved.
It was also because after Lu Rong and Xu Man got married, when facing Xu Man’s temper, Lu Rong never argued or cared about her. He always avoided her if he could and listened quietly if he couldn’t. This also led to Xu Man not taking Lu Rong seriously.
Now that both of them had been divorced for so many years, Xu Man’s attitude to Lu Rong remained the same as before.
So, she stood up and scolded: “Lu Rong, did you deliberately use some means to make everyone in Ah Wei’s unit deliberately target him?”
