Xiao Nizi, who was praised, was in a good mood and offered to help in the kitchen.

Zheng Xiu also liked this unpretentious simple girl, and happily took Xiao Nizi's hand into the kitchen.

Wang Yuan drove to the inner study, and Lu Shanmin and Wei Wuxian were left in the living room.

"Aren't you disappointed?" Wei Wuxian asked in a low voice.

Lu Shanmin was indeed a little disappointed, he knew that the Wang family was low-key, but he didn't expect it to be low-key to this extent, which shows that the people of the Wang family are unlikely to use their influence to interfere in external affairs, which is not in line with their low-key style.

"It's okay, just a bit of an accident."

Wei Wuxian smiled, "In the eyes of outsiders, the energy of the Wang family is monstrous, but in fact, this energy is a chicken rib for the people of the Wang family, they care about the reputation of their ancestors, and because of their ancestors, they have the influence that others dream of, but they themselves don't value this kind of influence, because they don't want to be special at all, and they never engage in privileges. There are not many such people in Tianjing, but they are not a minority."

Lu Shanmin is not completely unincomprehensible, the last time Wang Yuankai was almost imprisoned, the reputation of the Wang family was almost disgraced, and Zheng Xiu only begged him, but did not go to find the relationship above, which is enough to show that the Wang family is different. They didn't even use the relationship for such a big thing, let alone ask them to use the relationship for other things.

This is still the case for his own family, let alone outsiders.

"Little junior brother, you have made a mistake in this step, if Wang Yuankai is imprisoned, it is not only the Wang family whose reputation will be damaged, but also the face of the old man Wang, which is also equivalent to the face of the old man Wang's protégé, not to mention whether the Wang family will have a mortal enmity with the Wu family because of this, whether some big people will stumble on the Wu family, at least they will hold a grudge against the Wu family, don't underestimate this grudge, when the Wu family is not in the limelight, this kind of grudge will show a decisive force, it was originally a good move, and it was self-defeating by the one you thought was smart. Now, even if you step into the Wang family, the influence of the Wang family can only be a fox and a fake tiger for you, and the effect is not as great as before."

Lu Shanmin half-squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Wuxian in a daze.

"Little junior brother, what do you mean by that look?" Wei Wuxian asked puzzled, staring at Lu Shanmin's strange expression.

"Senior Brother Wei, a gentleman has something to do and something not to do, although I am not a gentleman, and I have done some shady things, but a hero like Old Man Wang cannot be discredited. If such a character ends up with a disgraceful descendant and humiliates the lintel, then what hope is there for this society."

Lu Shanmin turned his head to look at the portrait of Old Man Wang, with solemnity in his eyes, "Heroes are also divided into big and small, Old Man Wang is a big hero, his spirit and soul should be passed on, this is not only related to the Wang family, but also related to the entire nation and country."

Wei Wuxian was stunned, his head was a little messy, "Little junior brother, I can't see that you are still a patriot."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "I haven't thought about this problem, I just think that whether it is a person or a nation, there must always be some thoughts and hopes in the world, I know two policemen, although their behavior makes me feel very awkward, but I think the existence of people like them is of great significance." And Old Man Wang means more than them."

After a pause, "Grandpa said before that some people are alive but have no effect at all, and some people are dead, but they can affect thousands of generations." I didn't understand it before, but then I thought what my grandfather said made a lot of sense."

Wei Wuxian was stunned for a moment, "Little junior brother, I found that you are very similar to my elementary school Chinese teacher, as well as the high school class teacher, and the bald teacher Ma Zhe."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Your life is so good, there are so many teachers."

Wei Wuxian sighed, "Junior brother, I understand these truths, but what we're talking about now is not a one-level problem, you're too idealistic. My grandfather also said that no matter what era, no matter how far civilization develops, its essence will always be competition, and this world will always be a world of the strong."

Lu Shanmin did not refute Wei Wuxian's words, in fact, he also agreed with this view, but human thinking is multifaceted, and many of them are contradictory.

"Then let me tell you something that is not idealistic, have you thought about it, if the reputation of the Wang family and the old man Wang is damaged because of this, what will happen to Wang Yuankai. After a pause, he will carry a heavy burden of guilt for the rest of his life until he dies."

Wei Wuxian had a feeling like he had eaten a fly, and he coughed away from Lu Shanmin's eyes, "Little junior brother, how do I think I look like a despicable villain."

Lu Shanmin didn't speak,

The Wei family has always been a merchant family, although Wei Wuxian does not care about family affairs, but after all, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and now that the Wei family has gone into the water, it is normal to instinctively consider the problem from the perspective of the interests of the Wei family, which is a kind of inertial thinking.

"Mean to no, but villains are a fact".

Wei Wuxian's face was hot and embarrassed.

"From ancient times to the present, there are only two semi-saints, and the rest are villains." Lu Shanmin joked: "You are not alone".

"Hey", Wei Wuxian patted his thigh, "Xiao Nizi said that I am not as good as you, I have always been unconvinced, today I am convinced."

In the study, Wang Bingzhang is concentrating on carving a seal, this is his life's biggest hobby, the last time Wang Yuankai had an accident he was in the UK, because there was an auction in the UK at that time, and there was a private seal of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Although I don't have the money to buy it, it's a feast for my eyes.

Wang Yuankai stood quietly on the side, his face was quite bad.

I had already told him that a friend was coming today, and now they were sitting outside, but he, the master, was hiding in the study to carve seals.

"Dad", after standing for a few minutes, Wang Yuankai really couldn't help it.

The carving knife in Wang Bingzhang's hand paused and looked up at Wang Yuankai.

"Oh... When did you come in"?

"Dad, here comes my friend".

"Oh", Wang Bingzhang sighed and continued to bow his head to carve the seal.

"Dad, shouldn't you go out and meet...". Wang Yuankai frowned slightly.

"You go out and say hello first, I'll come out when I'm done carving this word."

"Dad"!"He not only saved your son, but also saved the reputation of the Wang family..."

Wang Bingzhang blew the powder on the seal, and said calmly, "I know."

"Dad"!

Wang Bingzhang waved the carving knife with a focused expression, as if he hadn't heard it.

Wang Yuankai reluctantly turned around and walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he paused again, turned around and whispered, "He is different from others."

Seeing that Wang Bingzhang still didn't react, he sighed, shook his head, and walked out.
