The banquet was bustling with activity.
The two hid in a corner.
"Uncle, why did you risk your future to save me?" Qiao Wanyue had always been curious. In fact, someone like Liang Lan, who was most good at protecting herself, would risk her future to save her.
Liang Lan looked at the cunning little girl.
"you guess."
Qiao Wanyue stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "I was very surprised when I saw you in the interrogation room. Actually, I guessed many people, Yunzhou, my dad, my grandparents, even my maternal grandmother, but I just didn't expect it to be you."
Liang Lan took a sip of warm water.
"Actually, I didn't intend to save you."
He looked down at Qiao Wanyue, whose eyes were indifferent.
It seems they had already guessed it.
"Because no one else can see you except me. When your father begged me, I was actually indifferent. If you are innocent, the country will not slander you. If you are an enemy agent, I will deal with you myself."
“But your father told me very firmly that you are innocent. When I asked him why, he said that the Wen family would not do such a thing.”
"I asked him again, 'You didn't grow up by his side, and he couldn't even change Wen Bing's temper, so why do you think you wouldn't do such a thing?' He was about to fight me then."
They practically wanted to kneel down before me.
"Seeing how pitiful he was, I agreed." Liang Lan said with a smile.
There was no mockery in his eyes.
Qiao Wanyue guessed it.
There are actually only two possibilities.
Liang Lan didn't actually care whether she was innocent or not, if he didn't save her.
The Wen family and the Liang family then completely broke off relations.
She holds the Liang family's assets in her hands; if she falls, the Liang family won't last long either.
If she is tortured to death, it is possible that Wen Gaohan and Lu Yunzhou will hold him accountable.
one way or another--
"Thanks."
She raised her glass and clinked it against his.
“Your maternal grandmother wants to bring your mother… Liang Yu to her family’s nursing home,” Liang Lan casually mentioned.
Qiao Wanyue looked at the people in the courtyard, a faint smile still on her lips, and said, "Mm."
Liang Lan, “You...”
"Ye Yuan, don't drink too much."
The first word had barely left her lips when she turned and walked toward her friend, leaving Liang Lan with only her back to her.
Liang Lan was about to speak when she disappeared.
"This girl really doesn't give me any face at all." Liang Lan couldn't help but shake her head.
He hadn't expected her to ignore him like that, but it was understandable. He didn't have much hope, because from her perspective, even if Liang Yu were torn to pieces, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.
But he was, after all, Liang Yu's brother—
She has now joined the Wen family.
The matter is in the past.
His thinking was very simple.
until--
Grandpa Wen embarrassed him in front of everyone, saying, "If you can be relatives with us, then be. If you can't, then get out of here. Don't bring bad luck to my granddaughter on this joyous occasion."
I've said it before, Wanyue is just my child. She only acknowledges your Liang family because she sees how hard the old lady has worked. Don't think you can buy my granddaughter off with your little bit of money. She's already packed her things and will send them to you tomorrow.
Also, if you want to talk about Liang Yu, go find Wen Gaohan. Don't disturb my granddaughter's peace. The old folks are confused, and the young ones are confused too. I thank you for saving us; if you insist, I'll give you my life in return.
But if you try to harm my granddaughter and take advantage of my kindness, then our two families will become enemies.
Liang Lan hadn't expected that she had only mentioned it casually.
