1055 What Is The Matter
Xiao Yu was stunned. This was the first time in her life that someone had spoken to her like this. It was also different from what Liang Lan had told her at home.
Liang Lan always told her that Qiao Mei and her were a family and that being a family meant they needed to share everything. No matter what it was, whatever belonged to Qiao Mei belonged to Xiao Yu too. There was no need for her to stand on ceremony when she was at Qiao Mei's house.
"This house is indeed different from what it used to look like…" Liang Lan muttered to herself.
Xiao Yu came to Liang Lan's side aggrievedly and said, "Mom… does elder sister not like me? Why is it completely different from what you told me."
"No, she's just not feeling well now. She's not deliberately targeting you. Go and look for your grandfather and do what mom briefed you at home," Liang Lan said as she patted Xiao Yu's back.
Liang Zu followed behind Liang Guo closely, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. In fact, he truly did not care about any of these things. Everything in the Liang family would eventually belong to him. He did not need to work hard or fight for anything at all. He just needed to do whatever Liang Guo told him to do.
Furthermore, he already had an idea of how capable Qiao Mei was. This woman was not someone to be trifled with, so it was better to stay away from her.
Previously, Qiao Mei had told them that this house belonged to the Xia family, but they found out that only the house in the front yard belonged to the Xia family. The house in the backyard was Qiao Qiang's property. Since it belonged to Qiao Qiang, that meant that the Liang siblings had a share of the property!
At this moment, Qiao Qiang was taking a rest in the long corridor. There was a cheerful tune playing on the radio and Qiao Qiang was humming along. He waved his hands in the air in line with the rhythm of the music, looking to be in a very good mood.
"Grandfather~" Xiao Yu ran happily to Qiao Qiang and held his hands enthusiastically.
Although Qiao Qiang did not like this child, they were still blood relatives after all. He still felt a sense of closeness to her, so he did not push her away. He just looked at her quietly without saying anything.
"Grandfather, the people from the Liang family are here to visit you," Qiao Mei said coldly, as if the two siblings had nothing to do with them and were just ordinary visitors.
"Yes, is anything the matter?" Qiao Qiang asked indifferently.
"Father, we're here to visit you. You didn't tell us in advance before you came to the capital. We rushed over the moment we heard about it. These two kids miss you too," Liang Lan said with a fake smile.
Qiao Qiang did not believe anything she said. It was not as if he had never met these two children before. If not for his status and property assets, these two children of his would not want to have anything to do with him at all.
Qiao Mei stood silently beside Qiao Qiang. At a moment like this, it was inconvenient for Xia He, Li Gui and the rest to show their faces, so they had all gone to the front yard. Qiao Mei had specially instructed them not to count the Liang family in when they prepared dinner. She intended to ask them to leave after they finished saying what they had come to say.
"Um… Shall we go inside to talk?" Liang Guo asked in a cautious manner.
It had been a long journey to reach Qiao Mei's house and they were exhausted. If not for the fact that his family elder kept urging them, Liang Guo did not want to make the trip here at all.
"Just say whatever you want to say out here. I don't have much time to entertain you. The kids at home still have lessons later," Qiao Qiang said impatiently.
"Grandfather~ Don't you want me to chat with you? I want to stay here for a few more days!" Xiao Yu said coquettishly.
No one could resist her innocent appearance. Xiao Yu was a beautiful girl. When she sat quietly by herself, she looked like an angel who had descended to the mortal world. It was a pity that such a good kid had been led astray by Liang Lan.
She was only interested in benefits and instant gratification, and she did not possess the innocence that a child her age should have. Her sweet appearance was just an act. At home, she was like the devil incarnate who would throw a tantrum whenever things did not go her way. In particular, Xiao Yu's temper had become worse after returning from Foshan Village.
"Is that so? Then why didn't you stay with me when I asked you to stay behind in the village previously? This is your elder sister's house, not mine. If you want to live here, you have to ask your elder sister first," Qiao Qiang said.
Xiao Yu looked at Qiao Mei expectantly again and asked, "Elder sister, can I stay here?"
