Seeing this, Cesar's cheeks flushed. In fact, he hadn't given up on Meredith yet, he was just annoyed for a while, and couldn't bear to go back and continue to please Meredith.
It's just that Meredith didn't give him time to react at all, and within a few days, he chose Ming Kun, the richest man in the empire, as his protector. When Cesar got the news, he was stunned. After regaining his senses, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and got very drunk that night. Later, it was Willette who persuaded him, "It's just a protector. It's not about getting married, Meredith made such a hasty decision, maybe it's to annoy you."
Cesar thought it was right, although Meredith hesitated between him and Pei Shaocheng, she definitely loved him. Those who have feelings, turn around and choose someone else for no reason.
Thinking of this, he quickly cheered up and planned to pursue Meredith again. But before he had time to act, Pei Shaocheng suddenly posted such a message, which caught him off guard.
"Impossible, Mei Rui explained it, it is his mother's relic..."
"What else is impossible!" Willett interrupted him angrily, "That old guy came out and explained it himself, you I have been praising Meredith so much, I thought he was so good! He is such a liar, and you still treat him as a treasure? I said why Pei Shaocheng was so happy, and quit the election halfway Jiang Yanlan. He understands everything, so why didn't he persuade you? It's all right now, and you'll be scolded even if you're involved!"
Villette is very realistic. Meredith was a natural mermaid before, and marrying him would be beneficial to Cesar. For the benefit, he naturally encouraged Cesar to pursue it; but now that his reputation has become so good, even if his identity as a natural mermaid cannot be saved, it is not surprising that Willette will turn his back.
"No, mother and father, the matter has not been confirmed yet, Meri must be innocent, don't say that about him!" Cesar was anxious.
"There are all witnesses and evidence, how can I be sure?"
"Elvis must be the culprit of Pei Shaocheng, I'll go find him..." Cesar stood up while speaking, and was about to walk out the door eagerly.
"That's enough, Cesar, stop making trouble!" Seeing that he was stubborn, Villette sternly stopped him.
Cesarton stopped, and before he had time to speak, Violet continued, "This is the end of Meredith's business! If you still treat me as your mother and father, you can just stay in the palace. Wait After the limelight is over, I will find a way to help you find a natural mermaid with a clean net worth and restore the popularity of the public."
There are no natural mermaids in the wild, and artificially cultivated ones can always be found.
"Mother and father—" Cesar gritted his teeth and looked at him in disbelief.
Villette didn't give in at all, "Cesar, I just want to ask you, do you still want to be emperor?"
Cesar was shocked, "I..."
He wanted to say that without Meredith's company, He doesn't want the throne.
"Cesar, your parents have planned so much for you, and even pushed your brother away with your own hands. If you don't want to fight, then what should I do?" Willett's expression softened, "Pullman is old, After he dies, there will be no room for our mother and son in this huge palace."
Cesar was a little panicked, "Father won't leave us alone, if there is anything wrong with him, he will definitely arrange for us... ..."
"Cesar!" Villette gritted her teeth, hating iron for being weak, "how did I teach you since childhood! I have been the queen of the empire for most of my life, and I can't afford to lose that face! Also, do you think you Without your status, does Meredith see you again?"
...No.
Cesar stared blankly into the eyes of his mother and father, but he already had the answer in his heart.
"You don't know Elvis, but I know him. He is a fair and just natural mermaid, and he can't lie!" Willett said coldly.
Anyone a little older knows Elvis. As a natural mermaid, he was very active when he was young, and his mate and sons also made outstanding contributions to the empire's fight against the dark beast. It was only later that he was hit by the loss of his husband and son before he faded out of public view.
"Cesar, you are not young anymore, you should have your own judgment. If you continue to deceive yourself and others, your parents will be very disappointed in you!" Violet said in a deep voice.
From Violet's point of view, he didn't care about Meredith's virtue at all, after all, he himself was not an upright mermaid. But he cared about the opinions of the people. In his eyes, Meredith's reputation had been mired in a quagmire. Cesar wants to save him, but he will only be pulled deeper and deeper by him, and he still refuses to give up.
Cesar slumped his shoulders, "...I know, mother and father."
After saying this, Cesar suddenly felt a big emptiness in his heart. People are still uncomfortable.
He really liked Meredith, his first love, but he didn't have the courage to gamble on his future.
Cesar didn't want to admit his cowardice and blamed Meredith for everything. It's just that he didn't choose himself. If he had chosen himself in the first place, he would definitely not back down now!
***
Meredith is dying of anger, he managed to stir up public opinion and get the public on his side. In the end, before he was proud of himself for two days, Pei Shaocheng released the video, which not only clarified the whole story, but also stripped him of his face.
The secret he had been trying to keep secret was exposed like this!
Meredith never imagined that Hicks, who had amnesia, would be on guard against him. He kept pinching these videos, killing him by surprise when he was at his best!
And Pei Shaocheng, this man pursued him anyway, but he didn't show any affection at all!
Meredith's face was hot, and he felt that the servants of the Ming family were secretly despising him. But no matter how much he didn't want to see anyone, he still came out of the pool, got dressed in a hurry, and planned to meet Ming Kun in the study.
As soon as I turned around the corridor, I heard the housekeeper's son complaining, "What can I do, the front and rear doors are blocked by reporters, and there are unmanned cameras everywhere. I dare not go out, for fear that I will be caught and be implicated. Xingwang is scolding so fiercely now!" The
housekeeper scolded, "Don't run out these few days, just stay in the mansion honestly!"
"I know, I'm... Dad, what are you thinking now, sir? I heard that the business under the Ming family has been affected, that..." The butler's son pointed to the sink with his chin, "Aren't you going to send it away?" The
butler frowned, "Leave it alone, sir will take care of it Yes. " The
housekeeper's son curled his lips, "Oh."
He was young, and when he was incited by his classmates and friends at school, his original good impression of the natural mermaid disappeared, and now he only felt that Meredith was contrived and disgusting. But he also knows how much his father earns in the Ming family, so it's fine to complain.
Meredith bit her lip in humiliation, then turned and went to Ming Kun's study. When he entered, Ming Kun's study was in a mess, with papers everywhere. Ming Kun used a paper shredder to shred the document, and lit a brazier next to it, which was full of ashes at the moment.
It stands to reason that in the interstellar era, many paper documents have been replaced by electronic data, unless it is an extremely important document, or something shady...
"What are you doing?" Meredith felt inexplicably flustered seeing his behavior.
Ming Kun was startled, seeing him, he quickly looked out the door, and signaled him to close the door.
Meredith did as he did, and took two steps closer, "What happened?"
Ming Kun paused in his busy movements, and said in a low voice, "The members of the Raging Flame Mercenary Team have been arrested."
"What?!" Meredith's complexion changed, and he said anxiously, "Didn't you say that you have already sent them away? How could they be arrested!"
If he had known about it, he would have persuaded Ming Kun to silence them.
Ming Kun smiled wryly, "They had a little accident at the border, who knew it was such a coincidence that they were recognized."
Meredith glanced over the document in his hand, "Then what do you mean now?"
"You Don't worry about it, I'll send you to another hospital right away, if I'm fine, I'll look for you." Ming Kun refused to speak directly.
He knew the flame mercenary team because of some smuggling business, and what he was burning now was the ledger. He didn't know how much the flame mercenary team had left for him. If he had known that he would trap himself, he would not have agreed to help Meredith with this favor...
Meredith rolled his eyes, closed his eyes, With a low "um", "Then I'll listen to you, let's avoid it first."
He has already seen that Ming Kun may not be able to do it, but he can't tear himself apart for the time being. If it was before, he wouldn't have worried that Ming Kun would bite him back. Anyway, he is a pure and natural mermaid, and the people would not believe him if he was involved.
But now that it is revealed that he instigated Ming Kun to steal and hurt people for him, I am afraid that the mermaid protection organization will not be able to save him.
Seeing that he was frowning and his long eyelashes were trembling violently, Ming Kun thought for a while and comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. You can stay in the other courtyard at ease, and you will be fine soon."
" But, what about the video?" Meredith didn't forget why he came to Ming Kun, even though the timing was wrong, he still brought it up.
Although the two were exchanging benefits, Ming Kun's heart was still a bit chilled. He was about to face prison, and this mermaid not only didn't comfort him, but only cared about himself.
Ming Kun wiped his face, "Elvis is famously fair and just, unless you have other ways to prove that it is your mother's relic, otherwise this matter is a certainty."
"I—" Meredith bit Biting his lip, "I have no way to prove that Elvis can use money..."
He hinted at buying Elvis with money.
Ming Kun looked sideways at him, with a somewhat indescribable expression. He actually deliberately humiliated Meredith just now, and anyone with a discerning eye knows the truth. But Meredith not only didn't hear it, but even made such a ridiculous proposal.
No matter how cruel a person is, he has his own bottom line, and that bottom line cannot be crossed no matter how much money is spent, just like if someone wants to pay to touch his biological parents, he will stop it if he tries his best.
He didn't need to try to know that the race is the bottom line of all natural mermaids, and Elvis is not out of his mind and will hurt the mermaid race for money!
Meredith has this kind of thought, and his heart is evident. He is a mermaid without faith!
And for such a thing, I was about to lose my reputation...
