Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing this, Liang Guo crouched over the steps and cried out, “Qiao Mei! You have to save your grandmother! Your grandmother had a stroke and can’t get up now! You have to help us!’

When the neighbors heard the commotion, they quickly opened their doors to look out. They did not have any hobbies and only liked to keep up with gossip, especially gossip related to Qiao Mei and the Xia family. Most of these people were from ordinary families. Although they also lived in courtyard houses, each house was shared by many families. They were all very curious about the lifestyle of the rich people, so they were especially curious about Qiao Mei and the Xia family.

“Tell him to get lost,” Qiao Mei sat inside the house and said to Xiao Zhuang unhappily.

Xiao Zhuang returned to the door to pass Qiao Mei’s message and Liang Guo became even more aggressive. He raised his voice and shouted, “Father! Aren’t you going to visit my mother? My mother is so sick that she can’t get up! Father, please save my mother! I beg you! It’s good enough if you can just go and take a look at her!”

Everyone around here had only seen Liang Lan in the past and had never seen Liang Guo come here to plead for help. Most of the people living in the area were elderly and they were very touched by Liang Guo’s actions. In their eyes, Liang Guo was a filial son who was concerned about his mother’s health.

“Look at this kid. He’s so pitiful. He’s willing to kneel outside someone’s door for the sake of his mother. It’s so tragic.”

“Isn’t that so! What a good kid! If my son can do the same, I can really die without regrets! ”

“Who’s his father? Is it Old Man Qiao? I can’t tell that Old Man Qiao is

someone who will abandon his wife and children.’

“Nothing is certain! You can’t judge a book by its cover!”

Everyone gossiped about Qiao Mei and her family. This was exactly what Liang Guo wanted to achieve. He held back his glee and continued to lament about his difficulties outside the door.

It did not take long for Qiao Qiang to hear about this. He came to the front yard and said, “Mei Mei, what’s going on outside?”

“l just asked someone to investigate it thoroughly. They made Liang Shu so angry that she was admitted to the hospital again. She had a stroke and just regained consciousness within the past two days, but she’s paralyzed now. It looks like they have come to beg us because they don’t have any other options,” Qiao Mei said.

“Sigh… what a sin!” Qiao Qiang said.

Although Liang Shu was his ex-wife, he still could not bear to see her like this. It was not that he still had feelings for her, but he just felt that she was living a miserable life. He would pity anyone who was going through the same thing as her.

“Grandfather, you can go back to your place. He’ll leave after he’s done wailing,” Qiao Mei said.

“I’ll go out and put a stop to this. Otherwise, he’ll still come tomorrow and the day after.” After saying that, Qiao Qiang walked towards the door.

When Liang Guo saw Qiao Qiang, he quickly crawled towards Qiao Qiang and yelled out, “Father! Please go and see my mother! My mother misses you! Only you can save my mother now!”

“Don’t address me as Father. I’m not your father. Back when your mother and I divorced, we agreed that we would never see each other again. You should go,” Qiao Qiang said forcefully.

“But you must still have feelings for each other after being husband and wife for so many years! You must miss my mother a little! Father, please go and visit my mother!” Liang Guo said.

Qiao Mei rushed to the door and shouted angrily at Liang Guo, “Your mother was so angry at you and your sister that she had a stroke and was hospitalized. What does it have to do with our family? My grandmother is long dead! She’s definitely not my grandmother!”

Liang Guo looked at Qiao Mei in shock. How did Qiao Mei know about this? Did the neighbors around the Liang familrs old house leak the news? “I was under the impression that he is a filial son! In the end, this is how it turns out!”

“l must be blind. How can I sympathize with such a person!”

“He actually has the cheek to come to Qiao Mei’s place to get the medicine! What is he thinking!’

The neighbors were starting to side with Qiao Mei. Liang Guo felt a little embarrassed as he crouched on the ground, but he could not care less now. As long as he could get the medicinal wine from Qiao Mei, did it even matter if his reputation was damaged?

“It’s not like that! My mother’s life is in danger now. As long as you give me some medicinal wine, my mother’s life will be saved! As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda! You must help me!” Liang Guo begged.

“l can’t save her. You should go. There’s no more medicinal wine,” Qiao Qiang said.

“No more? How is that possible?” Liang Guo said as he looked at Qiao Qiang in shock..
