Recently, everyone in the wealthy circles of Nan Province knows that Madam Liang of the Xuanyuan family did something outrageous. She actually made her frail youngest son kneel in the ancestral hall during the New Year and punished him with family discipline. The child was covered in welts.
The child was beaten so badly he ran away from home. If the Lin family hadn't taken him in, who knows what other suffering he might have endured. According to Li Shuzhen, the child's face was even injured, and he hasn't been able to leave the house recently.
That would be one thing, everyone has to deal with their kids sometimes, but the real problem is that the child has run away from home, and the mother has frozen all of the child's properties and bank cards. The child is staying overnight at the Lin family's house, and the mother doesn't care at all.
Here comes the most crucial point: the next day, Liang Yan didn't go to the Lin family to pick up her son at all. Instead, she took her nephew from her maternal family to the Huo family and asked the Huo family's daughter to marry Liang Pinggu.
This is truly extraordinary. Everyone in the Southern Province knows about the wealthy families. Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng were betrothed since they were born.
As a result, the mother's favoritism towards her own family has become so extreme that they not only beat their own son but also tried to steal his marriage prospects.
Everyone in the elite circles has seen Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng. Anyone who takes a look at them would think they are a perfect couple, a feast for the eyes.
As for Liang Pinggu, the youngest son of the Liang family, it is said that all the wealthy ladies who have seen him shake their heads. That boy is not only a ball of fluff, but he also lacks manners and academic performance, making him quite unlikable.
I don't know what Ms. Liang Yan was thinking, daring to introduce Liang Pinggu to the Huo family. Only the Huo family head and the Xuanyuan family head have a good relationship and don't mind. If it were any other family, they would definitely be furious if they were treated like this.
A group of wealthy women gossiped about Liang Yan behind her back. They didn't dare to say it to her face, after all, Liang Yan was the wife of the head of the Xuanyuan family and had the Liang family backing her. No one wanted to offend her openly.
"Oh dear, do you think Liang Yan even realizes she's gone too far? Why don't you see her showing even the slightest bit of pity for her youngest son?"
"More than that, she didn't even think about her youngest son. He's been staying at the Lin family's house for days now. Shuzhen said that the child's injuries haven't healed yet, and even she, who isn't his biological mother, is heartbroken. But Liang Yan is still eating and drinking as usual."
"When has she ever missed one of our tea parties? And when has she ever missed a high-class event?"
"Not only did she come, she also brought Liang Yin'er with her. Oh my... that strong girl, I heard she was just 'invited' back from the banquet by the Huo family a while ago!"
A wealthy woman said with a look of disdain, "This Liang Yin'er, I'm not trying to be mean, but look at my daughter, she's only 25 and she's making so much money as a celebrity. She even brought me a boyfriend the other day. This Liang Yin'er is over 30, and I heard she's still asking her family for money every day!"
The group of wealthy wives started showing off their kids again, while also taking a jab at Liang Yin'er and Liang Pinggu of the Liang family. One of the wives, who was on good terms with Li Shuzhen, then brought the topic back to the present.
"Huh... why are all the younger generation in the Liang family so eccentric? Wasn't Old Master Liang a very popular and upright figure back in the day?"
"Could it be that Liang Kun, who's in jail, is teaching the kids badly? It's such a pity that Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng is such a good kid. I heard he won a prize in the physics competition last semester, and his grades are among the best in school. How come Liang Yan only cares about her good-for-nothing nephew from her own family?"
"Oh, that's right. It's because the Lin family is kind-hearted. Their daughter is friends with Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng and Huo Xian from the Huo family. They couldn't stand it anymore, so the Lin family took the person back."
"And it's been so many days, and Liang Yan hasn't cared at all. She's living a very happy life. She's really cold-blooded."
"She really doesn't know what's good for her!"
"that is……"
Sure enough, Liang Yan finally overheard the group whispering behind her back, and she realized that these people had been discussing her behind her back for the past few days.
She said that every time she joined in, these people would change the subject, as if she were the center of attention!
Seeing Liang Yan's expression, Liang Yin'er said, "Auntie, they've gone too far. How dare they talk about you behind your back?"
Liang Yan felt ashamed and angrily left Liang Yin'er behind, leaving Liang Yin'er chasing after her in her high heels.
Liang Yan rolled her eyes at Liang Yin'er, annoyed. She was being talked about by crickets behind her not only because of Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, but also because of her niece. She had just overheard what those people were saying about her niece.
Unexpectedly, the niece who was obedient and pleasing to the eye in her eyes was seen as a good-for-nothing who just ate and drank for free in other people's eyes. So, all these years, she has been taking Liang Yin'er to banquets and various high-end places. Hasn't she been seen as a joke by everyone?
Liang Yan was annoyed just looking at Liang Yin'er, so she got into the driver's car and drove off, leaving Liang Yin'er, who had just caught up, to inhale the exhaust fumes.
Liang Yin'er immediately called Liang Yan, but the other party blocked her!
Liang Yin'er was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone, but a sliver of reason prevented her from doing so. She was currently at the South Suburbs Club, where there was nowhere to hail a taxi within a 50-kilometer radius.
She has now been kicked out of the house by her grandfather and can no longer command the family driver.
Liang Yin'er stamped her foot in frustration. This was too embarrassing. Some wealthy women who had finished shopping and eating were also preparing to leave. They exchanged glances with their friends as they looked at Liang Yin'er standing alone outside the club.
"It seems Liang Yan is now ashamed too."
"I've disliked her for a long time. She always acts arrogantly because of her status, without realizing how many jokes she makes."
"It must have been tough on her, having to carry around a freeloader around every day."
