1057 Overly Favored
They did not expect such a conclusion today. They not only did not manage to find any useful information, they even had to suffer a rebuff with nothing to show for it.
As they were leaving, Qiao Qiang shouted after them, “Don’t come to my house again in the future. All my assets will eventually belong to Qiao Mei. You won’t get anything and I don’t need you to be filial to me. I don’t wish to see any of you again. If you come to my house again, I’ll get the police to come and arrest you.”
“Grandfather! You can’t be so biased! We’re also your grandchildren! Why does elder sister get everything?” Xiao Yu stood at the door and shouted angrily.
“You? You can only be considered my obedient grandchild if you can get used to the simple life I live here,” Qiao Qiang said patiently.
Xiao Yu stomped her feet angrily and left Qiao Mei’s house without looking back. It was only after the Liang family members left that Zhang Wei and the other children came out to go about their activities. Li Gui and Xia He also went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.!!
“Grandfather, do you really dislike Xiao Yu and Liang Zu?” Qiao Mei asked, feeling a little sorry for him.
After all, they were also her grandfather’s biological grandchildren. Qiao Qiang only had these surviving children and neither of them had ever taken care of him. Even though the Liang siblings were only putting on a show of hypocritical filial piety, it was still good enough if they could keep up with the pretense.
Qiao Qiang was already old and it was time for him to enjoy life. He should get to enjoy his days with all his children and grandchildren, like other elderly people.
“It’s enough that I have you. Just looking at those hypocritical people makes me feel uncomfortable. They’re really an eyesore. Besides, I still have Zhang Wei and the others. I already have many grandchildren and I don’t need them to make up the numbers,” Qiao Qiang said proudly.
In Qiao Qiang’s heart, he did not care about blood ties. Zhang Wei and the other children treated him well and he was willing to put in effort to take care of them. What did it matter if they were his biological relatives or not?
Qiao Mei could finally put her worries to rest. As long as Qiao Qiang was happy, no matter what kind of life he wanted, Qiao Mei would work hard to help him realize it. Thinking of this, Qiao Mei suddenly felt her mood lightened and she happily went to the front yard to help Li Gui make dinner.
The Liang siblings drove directly back to the Liang family’s old house. As soon as the car reached the main door, the Liang family’s servants rushed forward. Each of them had a different task to do at this moment.
“Eldest Young Master, you’re back. Matriarch Liang has been waiting for you in the house for a long time,” Butler Liang said respectfully with his head lowered.
This butler was a distant relative of the Liang family. His family fell into dire straits and he came to Liang Guo’s mother, Liang Shu to seek help. Liang Shu thought highly of him as he was reliable and also very tight-lipped, so she gave him a job in her house.
Three or four servants stood around Liang Guo and Liang Zu, helping them to take off their coats, change their shoes, wash their hands, freshen up and so on. The servants helped them with everything and there was no need for Liang Guo and Liang Zu to do anything themselves. On the other hand, Xiao Yu and Liang Lan stood awkwardly at the side as no one paid them any attention. Liang Lan took out a handkerchief and helped Xiao Yu to wipe her hands and her face.
After they got tidied up, the few of them slowly followed the butler to the main hall. Liang Shu was sitting on the sofa and waiting for them.
When Liang Shu saw Liang Zu, she shouted affectionately, “Liang Zu, come over here! Let grandma take a look at you. Grandma misses you so much!”
He was only away for less than five hours, but Liang Shu already behaved like this. It was obvious how much Liang Shu valued and liked Liang Zu.
“Grandma, I only went out for a while. I wasn’t away for very long,” Liang Zu said helplessly.
“No way! Even if you only go out for a while, I still feel like it’s a long time,” Liang Shu said angrily.
In the beginning, Liang Zu also felt that it was a nice life. However, as he grew up, he began to feel that Liang Shu’s love for him was like shackles. To him, such an existence was full of pain and there was no joy at all.
“Xiao Yu, go and greet your grandmother,” Liang Lan whispered as she gently patted Xiao Yu’s back.
Xiao Yu walked up to Liang Shu fearfully and said, “Grandma… I’m back…”
“Mmm,” Liang Shu replied without even looking at Xiao Yu.
Liang Shu looked at Liang Guo and asked, “Where is it? Have you brought it back?”
