"由于在官场混久了，眼见而闻的都是互相提防，互相倾轧，甚至互相使绊子，所以学了不少冷酷和自私。虽不曾像有些人一样，去给别人挖陷阱或使绊子，但一事当前明哲保身却是一种本能……一有风吹草动，先想着怎么把自己摘干净……"
Those execuses were not true and reasonable.
1)When meng dumped Yue first time, before they got married, he just graduated from college? How come "由于在官场混久了......所以学了不少冷酷和自私"? only "本性" can explain it. Really scary......
2)但一事当前明哲保身却是一种本能……一有风吹草动，先想着怎么把自己摘干净……". That only told us Meng never thought Yue, his wife, lived with him/or served him for 30 years, was part of himself and his family. Normally and naturally this "本能保身" should include protection of the whole family, not just Hu*****and or wife.
3)Yue's 遭难 was not 官场的挖陷阱或使绊子, Gao Shan would not do that eventhough he was also in 官场 for long time. Only proved Meng was selfish and 冷酷和自私 over than most of oters in 官场.
