1553 The End of the Liang Family
“Aunt? I don’t have an aunt nor any relatives. I only have my grandfather and mother. You should go. I can’t help you with what you need. I’m not a deity who saves people from hardship and I don’t need you to pray to me. I can only manage my own family affairs so don’t come back in the future.” After saying that, Qiao Mei returned to the courtyard, leaving Liang Lan wailing alone at the door.

Liang Lan walked to the Song family’s house dejectedly. She could only beg the Song family for help now. If the Song family refused to help her, then no one could save her.

As soon as she entered and saw Song Dan, she knelt on the ground and said, “Bureau Chief Song! Please save me… I really don’t have any other options… Please help us on account that I stole so much ‘divine medicine’ for you.”

“I’m not the one who asked you to steal the medicine. You chose to do it. What has it got to do with me? As long as I get the medicine, it’s not my business how the medicine came about. Besides, I’ve already helped your family which means I already honored our agreement,” Song Dan said plainly.

“You! You can’t treat me like this! Both my brother and I stole medicine for you! Why did you only help him but not me! I’m the one who put in all the hard work!” Liang Lan said furiously.

“I can only help the person who delivers the medicine to me. If there are 100 people involved in the process, do I have to help all 100 people? The person you should look for is not me, but your elder brother. He told me that he worked hard on his own to get this medicine and that it has nothing to do with you,” Song Dan said.

When Liang Lan heard this, she instantly fell into despair. She did not expect that the person who forced her into a corner was actually Liang Guo! It was her biological brother! In fact, the person who instigated Xiao Jing to be with the other woman was also Song Dan… It was all part of the scheme!

Even though Liang Guo had the support of the Song family now, it was useless. The Liang family was smaller than an ant in the eyes of the Song family. When Old Master Song finished all the medicine, Liang Guo would no longer have any value. By then, Liang Guo’s luck would also come to an end.

Liang Lan left Song Dan’s place with a dejected look on her face. Following that, the good days of the Liang family came to an end. It was payback time for the Liang family in return for all the hardships that Qiao Qiang had to suffer back then.

Qiao Mei did not know if Qiao Qiang would be happy to hear the news, but she knew that he no longer cared about the Liang family. He had long left the past behind.

In Yao Nian’s house, he made a cup of coffee and settled down to read. Life was beautiful and comfortable and he felt free. He was now no longer the penniless person who was always mocked by his peers.

He was very happy that Xia Zhe had married a wife who loved gossip. He had a lot of information in his hands, all explosive news. Although none of this news had anything to do with the Xia family, Qiao Mei liked to hear about it, which meant that he was able to earn a lot of money very quickly.

A small and white furball slowly walked towards him. Yao Nian looked curiously at the bird struggling to walk on the ground. It was only when he took a closer look that he realized it was the pigeon he left at Qiao Mei’s place.

“How… how… how did you become this size?” Yao Nian said as he looked at the pigeon in disbelief.

The pigeon did not know where to start its tale of woe!

Yao Nian opened the holder. There was only an address and a figure written on the piece of paper. It looked like Qiao Mei was asking him to do manual labor again. It must be something really difficult! However, he had to do it for the money.

When Yao Nian arrived at the hospital at the stated time, Liu Yang was already prepared for his arrival. Qiao Mei had already made it clear to Liu Yang that Yao Nian’s identity was quite special and that he had never allowed anyone to discover his real identity.

Liu Yang had prepared a white coat and asked Yao Nian to put it on before going to the archive room. Yao Nian could only have access to the archives room for one day. If he was allowed to stay inside for too long, it would arouse suspicion.

One day was enough time for Yao Nian.

Qiao Mei asked Xu Kang to prepare two portions of nutritious chicken soup and brought the soup to the hospital for the two women.

“You even help me take care of my mother. I’m really sorry to have to trouble you. It seems that ever since I met you, I’ve only been causing trouble for you,” Qian’e said embarrassedly.

“You have helped me earn so much money but I haven’t even thanked you for that yet. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me,” Qiao Mei said.

“How’s my mother? Who’s her main physician?” Qian’e asked.
