Chapter 328

~7 min read 1,233 words

Alpis, Branstein Mansion.

Wang Liumei had just returned from the revolving restaurant and was thinking about whether Li Boyong's plans were feasible when a burst of arguing reached her ears.

This is... the voices of Radis and Leona?

Wang Liumei followed the sound and saw the cousins Radis and Leona pulling at each other...

Could it be that this pair, who usually don't see eye to eye, actually have a dog-blood relationship behind their backs?

With the mentality that gossip is also an important part of intelligence, Wang Liumei stopped silently and observed silently.

"Rad, it's not too late to apologize to Lord Maia now!" The cold beauty revealed an anxious expression for the first time, "At a time like this, going to serve in the Earth Army or something, you are too willful!"

"What time is it at a time like this?" Radis asked coldly, making Leona choke.

Although some things are known to everyone, it is not yet time to speak them out openly.

"But..." Leona was anxious, "Have you considered the feelings of Lord Maia and Lord Elzam by doing this?"

"I just chose a different path from them." Radis said calmly, "Father and brother will understand."

As he spoke, Radis picked up a suitcase and walked toward the gate.

Wang Liumei found that her position seemed a bit awkward, and she couldn't slip away silently.

"Sorry, Brother Radis."

Wang Liumei had to greet him honestly, "I seem to have returned at a bad time."

After a pause, she seemed to have just realized it, and whispered with a slightly red face, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, just..."

"It doesn't matter..." Radis still looked cool, seemingly not caring whether Wang Liumei eavesdropped or not, "It's not a shameful thing for me to leave here..."

"Take care... take good care of father..."

As he spoke, he left the Branstein Mansion alone, leaving only Leona whispering sadly: "Sorry, Lady Cattleya, I failed to take good care of Rad."

Seeing Leona's sad appearance, Wang Liumei went over and held her hand to comfort her: "It's not Leona's fault, it's just that Brother Radis is more stubborn. It will take time and opportunity to let her untie the knot."

"But... but I'm afraid there is no chance." Leona said sadly: "Rad argued very fiercely with Lord Maia just now, saying that he must go to serve in the Earth Army."

"By then... what if by then..."

Wang Liumei knew Leona's worry. If the Colony Integrated Army rebelled, Radis's position would be quite awkward.

If the Earth Army didn't trust him, they would imprison him and try to use him for negotiations, but with Commander-in-Chief Maia's personality, he probably wouldn't compromise.

If the Earth Army trusted him, then a scene of father and son fighting on the battlefield would be inevitable.

It seems that the contradiction between the second brother Radis and his family is really deep, even reflected in his stance. Going to serve in the Earth Army at this time is almost equivalent to breaking with his father and brother.

Wang Liumei sighed in her heart. History proves that loving one's sister-in-law is definitely the biggest destabilizing factor in a family, in every sense...

"Leona, don't blame yourself too much, Radis will be fine." Wang Liumei comforted Leona symbolically, then said, "You go back and have a good rest today, I'll go see Father first."

"Well, you go and persuade Lord Maia." Leona nodded and left the Branstein Mansion in disappointment.

Radis's departure made her completely realize that she could never replace Cattleya's position and could not repair the Branstein family that had already cracked.

Now, I only hope that Wang Liumei, who is quite favored by Maia and Elzam, can do something.

After sending Leona away, Wang Liumei went straight to Maia's study, where Lieutenant Colonel Lily was standing at the door with a sad expression.

Even she could only wait outside, which made Wang Liumei a little nervous about whether she could see Maia, but for the sake of future plans, she could only bite the bullet at this time.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lily, is Father okay?" Wang Liumei approached Lieutenant Colonel Lily and asked in a low voice.

"Liumei, you are back. Did you happen to meet Radis?" Lieutenant Colonel Lily, who had a worried face, squeezed out a bitter smile when she saw Wang Liumei, "It seems you know everything?"

"Yes, I happened to meet Brother Radis when I came back. Seeing his determined look, I couldn't even say words of retention." Wang Liumei cooperated.

Lieutenant Colonel Lily sighed in a low voice and complained: "The three father and sons are all stubborn, none of them are worry-free..."

After a pause, Lieutenant Colonel Lily added: "Lord Maia usually favors you quite a bit, you try to go in and persuade him."

"Yes, I know."

Wang Liumei didn't knock on the door either, but pushed the door directly. She was afraid that if she reported it, Maia would just let her leave. Anyway, since Lieutenant Colonel Lily, as an adjutant, agreed, she would just be straightforward.

"Father, I'm back."

Wang Liumei bowed her head and saluted after entering.

Maia looked up when he heard the door push. After seeing that it was Wang Liumei, the eyes that originally had a hint of expectation dimmed.

That stubborn silly son, in the end, would not bow his head to himself...

"It's Liumei, come and sit." Maia's disappointment flashed by, but he wouldn't drive Wang Liumei away, "It was Lily who let you in, right..."

"It's fine, you keep me company."

As he spoke, Maia actually began to recall the past and chat about family affairs, with the face of a kind parent.

Wang Liumei just listened quietly, occasionally echoing a few words, making Maia laugh.

After chatting for a while, Maia suddenly sighed: "Liumei, the Branstein family has wronged you. I know the tempers of the three of us father and sons very well. You must have suffered a lot of grievances, right?"

"Father is serious. Without the Branstein family, I would just be a little girl living on relief money with no one to rely on. It was you, Father, who gave me a new life." Wang Liumei said emotionally, even if Maia was as old and spicy as he was, he didn't see a trace of acting on her face.

For a moment, a thought popped up in Maia's mind: if Wang Liumei were his own daughter, how good would that be? Although the two sons are excellent, their personalities are really too stubborn.

Taking advantage of Maia's empathy, Wang Liumei pushed the boat along: "Although I am just a little girl in a greenhouse, I know Father's hard work and the great cause in his heart, so please let me help Father."

"Help?" Maia asked in surprise.

"Brother Radis has left. I have no right to evaluate his choice, but I want to enter the Integrated Army and contribute to Father and the Branstein family." Wang Liumei said with determination.

The great cause in his heart...

Perhaps it was these words that touched him. Maia looked at Wang Liumei from beginning to end. The once gentle and obedient adopted daughter now had the ambition of a budding hero on her face. After thinking for a moment, Maia tested her: "Liumei, tell me, what is the great cause in my heart?"
