Chapter 1261 Coveted 8
Lu Jiang’s original words certainly weren’t put so bluntly; although not as direct, the meaning was not far off.
As the old leader aged, his movements slowed, and his eyesight worsened, his affection for the hearts of his loyal followers grew. Xibao had embodied that quality back in the day, and now, Lu Jiang benefitted from Xibao’s light, in addition to his own dust-free heart.
Upon hearing the old leader’s words, Han * immediately turned bright red with embarrassment, repeatedly saying, "Rest assured, rest assured, I had no knowledge of this. Had I known, I would never have allowed them to disturb Comrade Lu Jiang. After Aiguo divorced, her father was set on finding her a son-in-law, definitely seeing Comrade Lu Jiang’s outstanding appearance and thus forgetting to inquire about Lu Jiang’s family background."
"The revolutionary sentiments and revolutionary families of all soldiers must not be destroyed by anyone!" the old leader declared emphatically.
"Yes! Yes!" Han * hurriedly agreed.
The old leader continued, "We have so many single cadres, each and every one competent. When judging people, we can’t just look at appearances; we must consider their families. Comrade Han Aiguo has divorced and is to remarry; I will introduce a good comrade to her. However, this is a dance party, and every comrade present has been through numerous battles, and every one of them holds an important position. Han Aiguo does not have the liberty to pick and choose at her own will!"
This statement was quite severe, expressing the old leader’s dissatisfaction with Han Ping and her father’s behavior.
Exactly!
Many people felt a sense of relief in their hearts. Why? Which one of them had not climbed to their current position through their own abilities? Who would allow a woman, who had divorced for personal reasons, to freely criticize and choose so discriminately? Didn’t they have any dignity?
