“I’m old, of course I can’t compare to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is still in a coma in the hospital waiting to die.”

Xu Chaomu paused in his play with the tea pet, then threw it directly to the ground, where the purple clay toad shattered into pieces.

Old Master Liang didn't even raise an eyebrow, only his hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched for a moment.

"Chairman Liang really knows how to shift the blame," Xu Chaomu said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her fingers clean.

"You've really gained a lot of sympathy lately. Everyone says that Grandpa Liang is pitiful, having been upright all his life, but he's been taken advantage of by his son and granddaughter."

"First her son went to jail and was sentenced, then her disgraceful granddaughter caused trouble everywhere. Scandals about Liang Yin'er are flying everywhere, and even Old Master Liang is involved in them..."

"You've raised your granddaughter well. She's stupid, clumsy, and wicked. She's a perfect scapegoat. She put on a big show at my South Suburb Club the other day. Everyone's attention was diverted by her, and everyone was sympathizing with her."

Xu Chaomu looked at Old Master Liang's calm face with a half-smile, peeling back the layers of his expression.

"Liang Tan, without your arrangements, would your son Liang Kun's people have gotten close to Liang Yin'er? You're such a cunning old fox, raising one scapegoat after another."

"First it was your good-for-nothing son Liang Kun, then your stupid granddaughter Liang Yin'er. The father and daughter took all the blame, leaving you completely innocent."

Liang Tan closed her eyes briefly, gripping her cane tightly. "What exactly is President Xu trying to say?"

Xu Chaomu enjoyed Liang Tan's impatient expression and sneered, "I'm here to remind you, don't think you can get away with it just because you've cut ties completely."

He stood up, stretched, and used his foot to rummage through the fragments of the tea pet, picking out a USB drive from them.

Liang Tan's hands, gripping the cane, clenched so tightly that the veins bulged.

Xu Chaomu looked at the USB drive for a while, then walked up to Liang Tan and patted Liang Tan's sagging face.

"You think you can control me with just this little bit of evidence? You think you can escape our control with just this chain of evidence?"

Xu Chaomu stared coldly at Liang Tan, "Liang Tan, if you want your illegitimate children and grandchildren abroad to have a good life, then listen to me and don't try anything funny!"

After saying that, Xu Chaomu left.

Liang Tan slumped onto the sofa, exhausted. The housekeeper quickly went over and had everything cleaned up.

Liang Tan looked at the butler expressionlessly, "Old Xu, you've been with me since you were a child..."

The butler gave a flawless smile. "Yes, sir."

Liang Tan threw away his cane and stood up; at this moment, his back was truly hunched.

He schemed for so long, and what he finally obtained was so easily discovered; everything was ruined...
