Chapter 57 “Everyone who fears the consequences, the Bodhisattva…
"Don't you have any idea of your family's current situation?" Liang Qi looked at him coldly, "But I can't blame you."
Liang Qi leaned forward, and Liang Bohai took a step back in fright.
He said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "After all, your parents aren't that smart, so it's understandable that you're an idiot."
"Fuck you!" Liang Bohai was furious, but perhaps he suddenly remembered something and smiled. "I heard you got a girlfriend in Jiangcheng. I saw her photo. She's quite pretty. You're really amazing. This kind of girl with no parents..."
Before he could finish, Liang Qi's face changed, he raised his long legs and kicked him in the stomach. Liang Bohai never expected that he would hit him so hard, and he was kicked to the edge of the flower bed.
Just as he was struggling to stand up, Liang Qi stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and dragged him out along the aisle he came from without mercy.
"Are you fucking crazy, Liang Qi!" Liang Bohai's nosebleed flowed into his mouth. He couldn't believe that Liang Qi really did this to him in the old house, especially when his grandfather was still in the room.
Liang Qi turned a deaf ear and dragged him forward.
"Young Master!"
Several bodyguards and the anxious butler Qian appeared in the room.
"Go and stop him."
Several bodyguards surrounded the two men from both sides.
Liang Qi looked around and the bodyguards looked at each other, not knowing whether they should take action.
"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for the servants, okay?" Butler Qian spoke at the right time.
Liang Qi let go of the grinning Liang Bohai.
He squatted down, raised his hand, grabbed his collar, and pulled his upper body up slightly.
"If I hear you talk dirty one more time, I'll kill you."
Liang Bohai spat a mouthful of blood foam to the side, "Do you dare?"
"I heard your brother got promoted and your mother is pregnant again. You abandoned child, do you think I dare?"
"Let go." An unquestionable voice came from behind Butler Qian.
It’s Grandpa Liang.
Liang Qi exerted all his strength, threw him to the ground, and stood up.
"grandfather."
"You two bastards." He was clearly angry. "Do you think I'm dead?"
Liang Qi knew that he had gone too far, so he lowered his head and said nothing. However, Liang Bohai, this foul-mouthed guy, really touched his bottom line, and he would do the same thing again.
"Send him to the hospital, and get in here."

Liang Qi changed his clothes and walked down the stairs.
"The master is waiting for you in the study."
Liang Jianwei no longer had the angry look he had just had. He was now directing the hanging of his calligraphy under the service of his servants.
After noticing Liang Qi knocking on the door and coming in, he ignored him.
"A little to the left, too far to the left."
"Down a bit."
"Okay, that's it. Everyone, get out."
After the servant left, he tactfully closed the door.
Liang Jianwei still didn't plan to speak immediately, but turned to the table and continued writing.
Liang Qi knew that he was deliberately leaving her out in the cold, and she didn't fall for it. She simply sat on the leather sofa beside her and turned on her cell phone.
"Standing."
Liang Qi didn't argue with him. He threw his phone aside, stood up, and walked to his side to watch him write.
"Your pen stroke is wrong."
The old man threw down his pen and said, "You're the only one who knows."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, Grandpa. I have something else to do later."
"What's up?"
"You know that."
Even Liang Bohai knew all the information about Shen Xiyu, not to mention his grandfather, whose family fortune must have been turned around.
"You just went too far." The old man finally sat down and talked to him properly, "And it was all for a woman."
"Liang Bohai's dirty mouth has been around for a long time, and I've taught him a lesson more than once or twice."
"No matter how much of a bastard he is, he is still a member of the Liang family." Liang Jianhai shook his head in disapproval.
Liang Qi pushed the wheelchair and the grandfather and grandson walked to the window.
"How about going to Jiangcheng?" He didn't dwell too much on what had just happened outside the door.
"Jiangcheng is pretty good."
Liang Jianhai immediately realized that his real intention was not to drink.
"Your girlfriend, two generations ago, was quite prominent."
Liang Qi knew the next turn of events without him having to tell him.
"Such a person is not a suitable marriage partner and will not be of any help to you."
"You don't have to worry about this." Liang Qi stood beside him and looked at the flowers blooming in the constant temperature garden outside the glass window.
"I'm not interested in any of your assets."
"What a waste of talent." This has happened many times between the two of them. Liang Jianhai has gone from being angry at the beginning to being immune to it now.
"I don't have any talent at all." Liang Qi said self-deprecatingly, "It's all made up of money. It's easy for you to build another one."
"Being able to pile up money is also a skill."
Liang Qi shrugged, "If you say so, then so be it."
"Old Qian has already contacted schools abroad," Grandpa Liang said, "I still hope you go."
"Why are you bringing this up again?" Liang Qi was a little annoyed.
"You're so smart and have some money, so you naturally know..." He turned his wheelchair and faced the garden, "Your uncle's condition isn't good."
"Isn't it a continuous promotion?" Liang Qi asked knowingly.
"Stop pretending not to understand." Grandpa Liang was unusually powerless. "The Liang family..."
"We are about to face a hurdle."
"Aren't you worried?" Liang Qi couldn't see any worry on his face.
"Do you know how much trouble and loss of life a family is involved in?"
"That's something you'd have to ask a family head like you."
It was a very rude remark, but Grandpa Liang laughed, "You little brat, you look just like me when I was young."
"The Liang family has gone too far, too high. How can they not be harmed by their own actions?" He twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand. "Ordinary people fear the consequences, while Bodhisattvas fear the causes."
"You couldn't stand it when you were young." Liang Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the man who once seemed tall and extraordinary to him. "Why did you follow the footsteps of your predecessors, pushing those without moral integrity, suppressing them, fighting with them, and doing so many things you shouldn't have done?"
Liang Jianwei choked for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"I have no choice. You have to know that I chose to take the lead back then. I have no choice."
Liang Qi did not express his opinion and stood quietly beside him.
"Your eldest brother's engagement day is the day after tomorrow, bring that girl along."
He is Liang Bohai’s elder brother, the first child of this generation in the Liang family, Liang Bowen.
Liang Qi didn't want Shen Xiyu to be involved in these things, "She probably doesn't have time."
Grandpa Liang closed his eyes and said, "Why? The person you want to marry can't even be seen by the family. How can you marry her? Bring her here to meet them. I won't eat her."
His words touched Liang Qi's heart, forcing him to agree, "I'll give it a try."
Looking at the time on the watch, it was already late. "Then I'll be leaving. You should get some rest early. I'll come back in a few days."
"It's okay to go visit your grandma's grave." Liang Jianwei said when he walked to the door of the study.
"I don't think she would want to see the Liang family at her grave."
After all, he died in a boring and inhumane internal struggle, which can be said to be a terrible harm caused by the Liang family.
“…”
After Liang Qi left, housekeeper Qian came in with freshly cooked porridge. Liang Jianwei was old and couldn't eat many things. Now he mostly ate simple porridge.
"Master, the porridge is ready."
Butler Qian had actually been waiting at the door for a while.
"This kid is always so rude." He looked at the door where Liang Qi had left, "But he's probably the only one in this family who dares to tell me the truth so unscrupulously."
"The young master has a bad temper, but a good heart. Don't take it to heart." Butler Qian was arranging the dishes on the side.
"In this smoky and chaotic family, he is the only smart person who knows the ways of the world but is not worldly-wise."
"Old Qian, you said..."
"Are you saying I'm really wrong?"
Butler Qian lowered his head and said nothing.
Liang Jianwei didn't expect to get an answer from him. After asking, he muttered to himself, "I can't do it. I can't do it."
No one answered his questions anymore, and few people laughed in front of him. This eighty-year-old man had been sitting in a gorgeous wheelchair, unable to get up, and he himself couldn't even count the years. The sense of passing life was becoming more and more obvious. Over the years, he often dreamed of his childhood lover, especially when he saw Liang Qi. The sense of time was even more trance-like. For a moment, he could even see the scene of her holding the young Liang Qi and walking in the garden.
Little Liang Qi picked a flower, and she bent down to let Liang Qi pin the flower behind his ear.
"Go get that yellow book on the shelf."
Butler Qian also brought him his reading glasses. He had served this once ruthless head of the family for decades and knew his habits and temperament very well.
There was a piece of paper tucked into the notebook.
There is a conversation written on it.
"We talked about death before. You said you wanted to die under a big tree, letting the roots absorb the nutrients made from your bones and grow taller and taller. You can see as far as the tree can see."
——"I want to be that tree."
In a trance, Liang Qi had grown up so much, and in a trance, he had broken his promise to his lover for half his life.
*
“I’ll go!”
Two minutes ago,
Liang Qi opened the door and saw Shen Xiyu sitting on the sofa with his back to him, with only a little bit of his head showing.
Liang Qi tiptoed up behind her and gently touched her chin with his palm, intending to scare her.
Why the stubble?
"Why the hell are you touching me so disgustingly!" A rough and angry male voice echoed in the room.
Qin Yiyan jumped up suddenly and jumped three meters away.
"Why the hell is it you?" Liang Qi was also dumbfounded and felt disgusted.
Shen Xiyu came out from the inner room upon hearing the noise, "What are you two doing?"
"It's okay." Liang Qi wiped his hands on his clothes twice, "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
"I was also rushed here at short notice. If there's anything I didn't tell you, please check WeChat for yourself."
He clearly didn't hear the phone ringing, so Liang Qi turned on the phone in disbelief, and found that it was really out of battery and turned off.
"Then how did you get here?"
"He called me." Shen Xiyu came over, took his dead phone, and helped him charge it.
"No, you have a home but don't want to go back." Liang Qi saw the luggage in the corner and asked, "Why are you here?"
"No, you don't have a home to return to either."
