Chapter 212 Sending Women to Liang Yizhi
The maid quickly replied, "Mr. Tian apologizes. He sent over a 500-year-old Korean ginseng, and I added a little to it."
Actually, they added concentrated extract from century-old ginseng; they poured the whole bottle in.
Xie Lingfang nodded in satisfaction and let her leave.
...
That evening, Liang Weiyue went to Liang Yanchuan's ward again.
In the afternoon, he received Lin Meizhen's investigation results.
It was similar to what he had heard outside the ward that night.
Moreover, the mother and son have had a hard life over the years. Even the house in Tianhe Yunjing was only obtained by her after being bullied. Otherwise, she would not even have a place to live.
This stirred a complex mix of heartache in Liang Weiyue's heart.
He walked to the door of the ward and saw Lin Meizhen carefully feeding her son porridge.
The scene of a loving mother and filial son bathed in warm light momentarily stunned him, and he unconsciously pushed open the door and went inside.
When Lin Meizhen saw him, her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the bowl.
She almost instinctively turned to the side to block the bed, her voice trembling.
“It’s not Yanchuan’s fault, it was me… I was the one who sent him to lie to you… If you want to blame someone, blame me.”
Liang Yanchuan, lying on the hospital bed, struggled to sit up and hurriedly said, "Father, it was my own idea. Mother didn't want me to acknowledge you. It was because the family desperately needed money at that time, so..."
Lin Meizhen hugged her son tightly, "Don't say anything, it's my fault, I shouldn't have met him."
After speaking, she looked at Liang Weiyue again. Although there was still fear in her eyes, there was also a strong determination that comes with motherhood.
"Don't make things difficult for us. We'll leave Kun City tomorrow and won't take a single penny from you."
Looking at their frightened expressions, Liang Weiyue's previously complicated emotions calmed down.
When she looked at Lin Meizhen, she only frowned slightly. "Why don't you let him acknowledge me?"
Lin Meizhen lowered her eyes at his words, her voice filled with bitterness and sarcasm.
"Didn't you say back then that this child wasn't yours?"
Liang Weiyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's talk."
Although they were talking right next to the hospital, Liang Weiyue and she walked separately.
When Lin Meizhen arrived at the hotel, her assistant led her to the executive lounge upstairs.
In a private room with excellent privacy.
Liang Weiyue was already sitting inside, with a glass of water beside him, his fingers tapping the table occasionally.
Lin Meizhen sat down opposite him, still wary of him.
"How have you been all these years?" Liang Weiyue asked.
Ha, you've already investigated and you still ask questions? You're really good at pretending.
Lin Meizhen lowered her eyes, her cautious expression unchanged. "My son is filial, and I am very content."
"Then you..." Liang Weiyue paused, "why didn't you come to me after you gave birth to your son?"
"If you're convinced this child belongs to someone else, why would I come to you? Just to humiliate myself? Besides, don't you know what kind of person your wife is? I only hope Yanchuan can be safe and sound; that would make my life worthwhile."
One sentence struck a chord with Liang Weiyue.
Seeing that he couldn't speak for a long time, Lin Meizhen took out a card and pushed it in front of him.
“Back then, his maternal grandfather was seriously ill, and the family was starving. Yan Chuan may seem like a simple-minded boy, but he's willing to do anything to fulfill his filial duty, which is why he ‘accidentally’ came to know you. He secretly used the money he got from you to help his family.”
Liang Weiyue recalled that he had always disliked his son because of his mediocrity, and his gaze flickered slightly.
Lin Meizhen continued speaking.
“I know what kind of person your wife is. After my father passed away, I started to persuade Yanchuan to leave, but unfortunately your son had an accident. He said that this is the time when you need his help, and he can't leave now, so we stayed. Part of the living expenses he sent me over the years went to my father's medical expenses, and the rest is here. If you want to settle accounts, take this money back and don't hurt us.”
"Am I a ruthless person in your eyes?" Liang Weiyue asked.
Lin Meizhen didn't look at him. "Being ruthless and cold-blooded are no different."
Liang Weiyue could tell that she harbored resentment towards him, so he pushed the card back.
“Yan Chuan is very hardworking here. This is his earnings. You can keep it for him. It’s not easy for men in the Liang family to have children. After the second son passed away, I knew I still had a son. You have no idea how gratified I am.”
Lin Meizhen's expression did not improve. "My son and I do not intend to stay here for long. Yanchuan is my only son. He has been by your side for the past few years, which can be considered as fulfilling his filial duty to you. If you do not dislike him, please keep him safe and sound during this time. I have no other request."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and took the initiative to end the conversation.
"I didn't touch this glass of water. You booked the private room, and I won't pay a single cent."
After saying that, she walked away awkwardly.
Liang Weiyue stared blankly as she left. He had thought that this woman would ask him for compensation as soon as she opened her mouth, but she didn't mention it at all.
He took out a prepared envelope from the inside pocket of his suit, containing a check that would provide for his wife and son for the rest of their lives, but he never sent it.
He subconsciously compared this mother and son to Xie Lingfang and her son.
If we had chosen this seemingly impoverished path back then, we might not have become incredibly wealthy, but we would have had a warmth that was within our reach.
But now... he doesn't regret it!
After leaving the hotel, Lin Meizhen went straight back to Tianhe Yunjing.
He only dared to call Ji Ying after he got home.
"You have no idea how fast my heart was beating. But thankfully he seems to have believed me, it's just a pity, it looks like he wanted to give me money."
Ji Ying remained calm on the other end of the phone, saying, "You need to keep him tied down first, then I'll have a way to get you to the Liang residence. Once you're inside, you can get as much money as you want from him."
Lin Meizhen chuckled and hung up the phone.
Ji Ying looked out the window; Xie Lingfang's good days were coming to an end.
She refused to believe that Xie Lingfang, driven to the brink, wouldn't reveal her true colors.
For Xiao Xia's sake, and for her own, she had to find this person!
That night, Liang Yizhi didn't return, and she didn't ask.
The next morning, before anyone in the Liang family had gotten up, she went to the company.
After working for a while, Xiao Chang came to her office and said, "I have an appointment with a client for lunch at Yuexiang Restaurant. Shall we have lunch together?"
Although he is good at management, he lacks knowledge in introducing some professional products. When discussing technical aspects with clients, Ji Ying is needed to step in.
Ji Ying took this for granted and agreed without much thought.
Around noon, Ji Ying sent a message to Liang Yizhi, telling him to eat on time.
Liang Yizhi replied that he was about to go to a restaurant with his friends.
Ji Ying didn't ask any more questions after seeing his reply.
Meanwhile, Xie Lingfang woke up to find her mouth completely sore from internal heat.
But since I had already made plans and couldn't cancel, I had no choice but to wear a mask and go out at noon.
Enjoy the luxurious private rooms at the Yuexiang Restaurant.
Liang Yizhi received a call from Shen Ruofu, canceled his social engagements, and only when he arrived did he realize that Xie Lingfang had sent him a woman.
The woman sitting opposite him was young and beautiful, with affectionate eyes; he was said to be a third-rate model.
Her lover was at a crucial stage of his career at the city hall and was eager to find a stable backer. By "offering" her to him, he intended to climb the social ladder by attaching himself to Liang Yizhi.
Xie Lingfang wanted to place a woman next to Liang Yizhi so that he would have no time to pay attention to Ji Ying, so she went along with it and did him this favor.
"Second brother, Miss Zhou is known in the industry for her ability to serve people well. Director Gao said that as long as you two are compatible, he is willing to part with her even if it is painful."
Xie Lingfang, enduring the intense pain, excitedly introduced the story, completely oblivious to Shen Ruofu's expression.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi turned his thoughtful gaze to Shen Ruofu, whose expression was already quite unnatural, and a half-smile appeared on his lips.
"Since it's a kind offer witnessed by the Shen family, I shouldn't refuse."
