Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1191: In 1190, [they] went to the Capital.

Liang Lu was truly out of luck; she had no idea that her grandfather had fallen ill, and furthermore, she hadn’t been in contact with her grandparents for almost fifteen years. She didn’t even know what they looked like, let alone the matter of borrowing money.

“Tan Rou, you know my situation very well.” Liang Lu said, “My biological parents died a long time ago, and there’s hardly any contact with my adoptive parents. And as for my grandparents, it’s been over a decade since we last met; they’ve never asked to borrow money from me.”

Tan Rou did believe Liang Lu; Liang Lu didn’t have many friends in the Capital, and if Liang Lu’s grandfather really had come to borrow money, Liang Lu would definitely have told them. Moreover, Tan Rou was a doctor; if Liang Lu wanted to treat her grandfather, she would certainly consult with Tan Rou.

“Don’t panic. This morning, when I saw the news, I thought of calling you, but nobody answered your phone. Then I called Lu Qing, he’s currently in your hometown and can arrange for someone to look into it,” Tan Rou tried to calm Liang Lu down, insisting she shouldn’t lose her composure.

Liang Lu calmed down and then said, “Tan Rou, I want to get in touch with my grandparents, to ask them why they would tell lies.”

Tan Rou suggested, “Liang Lu, I think it’s best not to meet with your grandparents. Judging from the video they posted, what they’re after is money. You could give them money this time, but what about in the future? Are you supposed to pay them off every time to keep them quiet?”

Liang Lu remembered the events of her childhood. At that time, her parents had just passed away, and all her relatives were unwilling to take her in, including her grandparents, who were very disdainful of her. Later, using the excuse that they were too old and that their household was in poor condition, her grandparents sent Liang Lu to an orphanage.

Liang Lu was angry, so she never went back and didn’t want to have anything to do with them.

Tan Rou was right; Liang Lu could give them money this time, but what about the next? What if they came up with an excuse that Liang Lu’s grandmother was sick and asked Liang Lu for money again?

Liang Lu was not short of money, but her money didn’t just come from thin air. Why should she have to give it to them?

“Fine, I won’t give them a penny. If they come to trouble me, I’ll take them to court and tell the whole story of how they sent me to the orphanage,” Liang Lu said firmly.

“I know many lawyers; I’ll get in touch with one for you right away,” Tan Rou said while making a call and typing quickly, “Just hold on a moment, I’ll send you the lawyer’s contact information.”

Meanwhile, Lu Qing had arrived in Liang Lu’s old village, which was indeed very dilapidated, with cracks all over the walls and exposed electrical wires, presenting a real danger.

It was hard to imagine that people still lived here. Yet even in such a run-down place, many people resided, seemingly oblivious to the many dangers.

The village children curiously looked at Lu Qing, asking where he was from.

Lu Qing inquired, “Kids, do you know where Liang Teng and Guo Xia live?”

The children were very innocent, and when they heard Lu Qing asking for directions, they enthusiastically led the way, “Just at the eastern end of the village, I’ll take you there.”

Following the children, Lu Qing arrived at the home of Liang Lu’s grandparents, but the door was locked. It was unclear whether they were out or had simply locked themselves inside.

He knocked several times, and nobody opened the door. He called out a few times, but there was still no response from inside.

“Who are you looking for?” A middle-aged woman with a basin in hand came out, “Looking for Old Liang’s family?”

Lu Qing offered a friendly smile, “Big sister, may I ask if you know where their family has gone?”

The middle-aged woman sized Lu Qing up and perhaps finding him handsome, told him, “Oh, their family went to the Capital. I heard from my daughter that their little granddaughter has become successful. She’s now a big director and opened a big company, then made a lot of money and took her grandparents to live with her in the city.”

After finishing, envy beamed from the woman’s face, “If my daughter were even half as successful as that little girl.”

Lu Qing asked again, “When did they leave?”

After thinking for a moment, the woman answered, “Four mornings ago, a black sedan took them away. The whole village saw it.”
