Chapter 1196: Leaving Liang Lu at 1195
The elder lying on the hospital bed didn’t look as weak as she appeared in the video; in fact, she looked quite lively. She held a freshly peeled apple in her hand and there were several peeled walnuts on the blanket, which she was about to eat.
When Liang Lu entered, there was a moment of surprise, but then he quickly returned to normal and even politely offered Liang Lu some walnuts. “Liang Lu is here, have a seat. Your grandma just peeled some walnuts, would you like to try some?”
All Liang Lu wanted to do was pick up the walnuts and smash them on their heads; she really was not in the mood to eat walnuts. “Why would you spread such rumors online? When have you ever asked me for money? I have no idea about that! Moreover, the doctor already mentioned that the old man just has some hypertension, it is not a serious illness at all, and he doesn’t need to be hospitalized!”
Guo Xia was very displeased and said, “Liang Lu, how can you speak like that? We are your grandparents, your elders. Now that your grandfather is ill, not only do you not contribute money for his treatment, but you also say his illness is not serious. You really are heartless.”
Liang Lu scoffed, “Who is heartless, you or me? When my parents died, how did you treat me? Have you forgotten?”
Guo Xia, not the least bit ashamed, said naturally, “Liang Lu, it was already tough raising your father. When your dad died, he didn’t leave us a cent. How could we have had the money to take care of you?”
“My dad really didn’t leave you any money?” Liang Lu retorted, “Then where did the money come from for you to build my uncle’s house?”
Guo Xia’s face darkened, but she still insisted that Liang Lu’s father had left them no money.
“The money wasn’t earned by your beloved son, it was dirty money obtained by selling my mom’s body. Don’t you feel guilty using it?” Liang Lu said bitterly.
Her father’s actions had completely extinguished any respect she had for him, and if Liang Lu’s father were still alive, she wouldn’t acknowledge him either.
When her mother was mentioned, Guo Xia began to get angry. “Your mom was a disaster. If it wasn’t for her, your father wouldn’t have ended up like that. It’s her fault for not keeping her man in check,” she said. “She deserved her fate!”
“Your son is worthless, can’t resist the lure of gambling, and resorts to selling his wife to pay off debts. You’re not ashamed of that, yet you have the audacity to blame his wife? Have you no shame?” Tan Rou couldn’t listen anymore. Liang Lu’s mother had suffered enough, and she couldn’t bear hearing more insults toward this tragic but resilient woman.
“Who asked for your opinion?” Guo Xia glanced at Tan Rou and said, “I am talking to my granddaughter. Don’t interrupt.”
“I may be just a bystander, but that doesn’t change my thinking that what you’re saying is nonsense,” Tan Rou laughed. “With parents like you, it’s no wonder your son turned out so poorly. Thankfully, our Liang Lu is nothing like your son, or she might bang her head against a wall in frustration.”
Guo Xia, fiercely protective of her family, would not allow anyone to speak ill of her child. “Who are you calling a failure? I think your son will be the downfall of your family, blowing through all your money eventually!”
“No worries,” Tan Rou said calmly, “my husband is the richest man in the Capital, and I myself have a.s.sets worth hundreds of billions. If my children want to squander it, well, let them have their fun.”
Guo Xia’s eyes widened, and after a long pause, she retorted skeptically, “Just boasting, how old are you? How could you possibly have that much money?”
Liang Lu chimed in, “Her family really does have that much money, and by the way, her parents are also very wealthy.”
Jumping up from the bed, Liang Guo warmly greeted Tan Rou, “Young lady, you’re Liang Lu’s friend, right? Our Liang Lu is lucky to have your care. Make sure you get along well, and definitely do not fight.”
Tan Rou gave a smile and deliberately said, “Sure, I am indeed good friends with Liang Lu. But I was offended by what you just said. I don’t want to see you, so from now on, you should keep your distance from Liang Lu, or I won’t help her establish herself in the Capital. Do you think my request is reasonable?”
“This…” The elderly couple hesitated.
