Chapter 368 You are not Aying

Liang Hanyue followed Liang Jingfeng to the most secluded courtyard. Two bodyguards stood guard at the gate, respectfully greeting her, "President Liang."

Liang Jingfeng remained calm and asked in a low voice, "How did things go today?"

"The master ate half of his breakfast today and is now sunbathing in the yard," the bodyguard replied.

Liang Jingfeng nodded, then turned to Liang Hanyue and said, "Come with me."

Liang Hanyue followed him into the courtyard and was immediately attracted by the tall persimmon tree in the yard. However, at this time of year, the leaves had fallen and the bare trunk looked extremely desolate.

Liang Zhoushan sat in a rattan chair in the courtyard, wearing a woven hat and covered with a thin blanket. His exposed hands were like branches that had lost their moisture, extremely dry and lifeless.

“Father,” Liang Jingfeng said slowly, “she has arrived.”

Liang Zhoushan, whose eyes had been lightly closed, slowly opened them. When his gaze fell on Liang Hanyue, his previously dull eyes suddenly lit up, "Aying..."

Liang Ying was that woman's name, the woman Liang Zhoushan had longed for his entire life. A flicker of disdain crossed Liang Jingfeng's eyes.

Liang Hanyue met his aged and lifeless eyes, pursed her red lips, and remained silent.

Liang Zhoushan's aged voice said, "You're not Aying, you just look too much like Aying..."

Liang Hanyue remained silent, glancing at Liang Jingfeng.

Liang Jingfeng said in a deep voice, "Her name is Liang Hanyue, and she is Liang Cishu's daughter."

"You go out first, I want to talk to her alone." Liang Zhoushan didn't give him a single glance, his gaze remaining fixed on Liang Hanyue.

Liang Jingfeng didn't say anything, turned around and left the courtyard.

“You are Aying’s granddaughter…” Liang Zhoushan began slowly, “and also my granddaughter.”

Liang Hanyue's expression was calm as she said softly, "My grandmother died early, and I have little memory of her."

If he tries to find Liang Ying's memories within himself, he's likely to be disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Liang Zhoushan just smiled and said, "This personality is very similar to Aying's."

Liang Hanyue: “…”

"Child, please sit down." He gestured with his chin, indicating that she should sit in the chair next to him.

Liang Hanyue didn't know how long he would talk or how long she would have to stand, so she sat down without being too tired.

"Pour your own tea," Liang Zhoushan said.

"I don't want tea," Liang Hanyue refused decisively. "Just tell me what's on your mind."

“Nothing special, I just wanted to see you.” Liang Zhoushan coughed a few times, looked up at her, as if looking through her at someone else. “You must have suffered a lot these years.”

“I have suffered a lot, and you can’t make up for it. As for how much my grandmother suffered, it would be better if you went down and asked her yourself, if she is still willing to talk to you.”

He deceived people's feelings when he was young, and now, so many years after they've died, he's pretending to be deeply affectionate. Isn't he disgusting?

Liang Zhoushan was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Seeing you like this now, I am not worried. With the strong wind protecting you, no one in the Liang family should be able to bully you."

Liang Hanyue didn't say anything.

Liang Zhoushan took a deep breath, looked at the clouds on the horizon, and sighed, "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Aying has been gone for so many years, leaving me all alone in this world..."

Liang Hanyue: “…”

Liang Zhoushan looked up and met her gaze, as if he could see right through her. "I know you look down on me and feel that I have let Aying down... It's okay, you can scold me all you want. It's me who has wronged Aying..."

"You've wronged my grandmother, so there's no point in me scolding you." Liang Hanyue looked down on his belated affection, deeming it worthless, but she wouldn't openly criticize him. After all, he was her elder, and a dying woman at that.

She does have that much empathy and a sense of morality.

“Good child, now that you’re home, no one will bully you anymore,” Liang Zhoushan murmured. “Stay here and rest assured. If you need anything, just ask Jingfeng. He will take good care of you for me.”

Liang Hanyue stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Liang Zhoushan simply nodded and closed his eyes again.

As Liang Hanyue walked out of the courtyard, Liang Jingfeng, who was smoking outside, immediately extinguished his cigarette when he saw her come out.

"Have you finished chatting?"

Liang Hanyue nodded: "We didn't talk about anything special, and he didn't give me hundreds of millions. If you want to know more details, you can ask him. I'm not a broken record."

Liang Jingfeng seemed amused by her, "I didn't mean to ask what you two were talking about. If he were someone who could give you hundreds of millions, he wouldn't have waited until now to have me contact you."

"So that's why you're willing to come to me?" Because he knew very well that no matter how deep Liang Zhoushan's feelings for Liang Ying were, it wouldn't change the fact that merchants value profit over parting.

The Liang family's assets have nothing to do with her.

"Whether it's your grandmother or my mother, they are both victims," ​​Liang Jingfeng said calmly. "I'm old enough to see through this."

As a child, I didn't understand and hated that woman. I thought she had stolen my father away and that she had made my mother cry every day and be depressed. Only when I grew up did I realize that they were both victims, and that my father was the real culprit.

A look of surprise flashed across Liang Hanyue's eyes. "That's right. After all, Uncle is over fifty years old and has seen all the vicissitudes of life and the coldness of human nature."

"..." Liang Jingfeng's lips twitched slightly as he forced a defense, "I'm not even fifty yet..."

There's a difference of several years.

Liang Hanyue: "It doesn't matter if it's just a few years."

Liang Jingfeng: "..."

Ignoring his indescribable expression, Liang Hanyue said, "Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Liang Jingfeng hummed in agreement, watching her departing figure, and couldn't help but rub his chest, inexplicably having a premonition that he would often experience chest pain in the future.

Liang Hanyue didn't think about whether her words would offend Liang Zhoushan and Liang Jingfeng, or whether she could stay in the Liang family. In any case, it was all a transaction, and at worst, they would just part ways.

Chen Mu called to inquire about her collaboration with Gu Jingchen.

Rumors are circulating in the capital that Gu Jingchen and Jin Yanting joined forces to bring down Jin Yanchen and take control of the Jin Group.

Liang Hanyue said calmly, "The cooperation will proceed according to the contract. Don't worry about my grudges with him."

Chen Mu, fearing she was being stubborn, comforted her, "If you really don't want to cooperate with him, I can choose to cancel the cooperation. At worst, I'll just have to pay the penalty for breach of contract! It's okay!"

“Really, there’s no need!” Liang Hanyue bit her lip, her fingers involuntarily digging into the flesh of her leg. “Now that Jin Yanchen is gone, we are helpless and cannot act recklessly. Since he dared to give me money, he dared to accept it. There’s no reason for us to give him money back.”

"Okay then." After finishing their work conversation, Chen Mu asked her, "Are you alright now? Where are you?"

"I'm in Nancheng, don't worry about anything." Liang Hanyue didn't want to talk about the Liang family right now. "I'll tell you in detail when I have the chance."

Chen Mu knew she must be in a bad mood, so he didn't press her for details and hung up after a few words.

Just as Liang Hanyue hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, may I come in?"
