Chapter 1193: 1192 The Unfilial Granddaughter
Tan Rou had no such grandparents; she couldn’t relate to Liang Lu’s emotions, but from an observer’s perspective, Tan Rou was extremely repelled by the actions of Liang Lu’s grandparents.
First, after Liang Lu’s parents died, her grandparents clearly could have taken care of her, but they refused, instead sending Liang Lu to an orphanage. Furthermore, fifteen years had pa.s.sed, they had never looked after Liang Lu, nor had they sent her a penny; yet now that Liang Lu had grown up and made money, they came looking for her, which was simply excessive.
Tan Rou put down her cell phone and walked over to the table to comfort Liang Lu, “If you want to cry, cry. This is my office, no one will come here.”
At first, Liang Lu shed just a few tears, but upon hearing Tan Rou say it was okay to cry, all the grievances in her heart surged up, and tears streamed down, unstoppable.
“Tan Rou, I really don’t want to deal with them, nor do I want to give them any money. I’ve invested all my money in the company,” Liang Lu sobbed, “and even borrowed so much from you and Lu Qing. Where would I find the money to give them?” she lamented. “If they come asking me for money, I surely won’t be able to come up with so much.”
The newly established film company was Liang Lu’s, and it was a time when funds were desperately needed. If Liang Lu’s grandparents came asking her for money now, it would push her to a dead end.
The Lu family indeed could offer help to Liang Lu, but old master Lu was still alive. If he knew Liang Lu had such relatives, he might object to Lu Qing being with her.
Lu Qing loved Liang Lu very much, but the person he held dearest in this world was only old master Lu. If a conflict arose between old master Lu and Liang Lu, it would put him in a very difficult position.
“Don’t worry, we will all help you,” Tan Rou said. “I asked Hang Wei and his team to track down the source of the information. Just a moment ago, Hang Wei messaged me saying they’ve found who uploaded the video. The IP address is in the Capital; Zhuang Liu sent Xiao Mo and his team there, so we should have results soon.”
Liang Lu cried even harder and hugged Tan Rou tightly. “Tan Rou, if it weren’t for you all, my life would be ruined.”
“Don’t be sad, we’re all helping you,” Tan Rou said, patting her back gently.
Xiao Mo found the person who uploaded the video, but he knew nothing. He only mentioned that someone gave him money to post the video. That person was very clever; they handed the uploader a USB drive and then some cash to post the video on the spot, and after that, the person left.
This led to a dead end.
However, just a few hours later, another video was released. Thanks to the groundwork laid by the previous one, this video quickly gained significant attention as soon as it was released, drawing many netizens’ interest.
In the video, the elderly couple had white hair and a sallow complexion, looking as if they had not eaten for a long time. One was sitting in a chair, the other lying on a hospital bed, apparently in a hospital.
The old man’s eyes were squinting; his mouth opening and closing, struggling to say something, but unable to speak.
The old woman wiped her tears with a handkerchief and then cried, “My granddaughter Liang Lu is too heartless. After her parents pa.s.sed away, she refused to contact us because she went to a wealthy family to be their daughter, worrying that we would be a drag on her.”
As she spoke, she cried louder. When she managed to stop the tears, she continued, “This unfilial granddaughter—her grandfather is so severely ill, I asked her for money, and she not only refused to lend us any but also said we were poor relatives, that she didn’t have poor relatives like us!”
The person filming asked them, “So, what do you two plan to do now?”
The old woman looked into the camera, her eyes red as though she had cried for a long time, “Our son died early, and the granddaughter is unfilial; we, the old couple, are out of options, we can only wait for death.”
Liang Lu saw the second video as soon as it was uploaded. When she heard the old woman accusing her of being unfilial, she felt a suffocating tightness in her chest, as if she were about to choke.
Seeing Liang Lu’s face turn red, Tan Rou immediately tried to ease her breathing and said with some regret, “I shouldn’t have let you watch this video.”
Liang Lu took a breath and said, “It’s okay, I’m much better now.”
Looking into her eyes, Tan Rou knew Liang Lu’s heart was anything but calm.
No wonder Liang Lu was unsettled; after all, the elderly couple were shameless.
