At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 398 Family Heirloom

"Liang Jingfeng wants your contact information; my grandfather wants to see you," Liang Hanyue stated succinctly the reason for making the call.

Jin Tian paused for a moment, then asked, "Why do you want to see me?"

"I don't know." Liang Hanyue couldn't fathom Liang Zhoushan's thoughts either. "Maybe he feels that my uncle, at his age, has finally gotten married and has a wife, and he wants to see her. Even if it's fake!"

Jin Tian didn't say anything.

Liang Hanyue: "If you don't want to come, I'll help you turn it down. If you want to see me, give him your phone number and let him contact you."

"Can I think about it?" Jin Tian didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Okay." Liang Hanyue told her not to rush and to just let her know when she had thought it through.

***
New Year's Eve dinner.

Liang Hanyue was invited to the restaurant by Xia Wu, and everyone was there, including Liang Zhoushan.

"The whole family is waiting for you, what a grand display," Lin Zhi said sarcastically.

Liang Zhouchuan let his wife charge into battle while he remained silent.

Liang Hanyue didn't indulge her at all. "No one notified me. I don't know."

"As a junior, you should be at the restaurant early and waiting. Why are you waiting for someone to invite you? Do you really think you can act recklessly and do whatever you want just because you're the fourth young lady of the Liang family?" Lin Zhi scolded.

Liang Hanyue looked at Liang Zhoushan and said, "I'll get scolded even if I'm a little late. It seems like I'd rather not be the fourth young lady of the Liang family."

Get up and leave.

"Stop!" Liang Zhoushan called out to her, his voice authoritative, but there was no reproach in his eyes. "Sit down, the New Year's Eve dinner will be served soon."

Liang Hanyue stood still. "Then make her apologize."

"Brother, look at her..." Lin Zhi couldn't sit still any longer when she heard that she was to apologize. "She has no manners at all, she's arrogant, domineering, and doesn't know her place..."

Liang Hanyue smiled slightly: "I've lived with my dad and grandma since I was little. Are you implying that my grandma didn't raise me well?"

Upon hearing her mention Liang Ying, Liang Zhoushan's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, Lin Zhi. Yueyue has suffered so much outside, and you, as her elder, not only don't feel sorry for her, but you also make things difficult for her at every turn. I think you've been giving her too much money!"

One sentence shut Lin Zhi up; if she continued, Liang Zhoushan might change his will.

"Let's begin the feast." After saying that, Liang Zhoushan gave Liang Hanyue a look, signaling her to stop.

Liang Hanyue received a signal with her eyes and became more reserved.

Sitting next to her, Liang Huan secretly gave her a thumbs up, "You're really amazing. No one has ever been able to make my grandma lose face in all these years."

Although she was her biological grandmother, Lin Zhi had a strong preference for sons over daughters, so Liang Huan never felt any love from a young age and was indifferent to Lin Zhi, even somewhat annoyed by her.

As for Liang Zhuo and Liang Teng, they didn't like Lin Zhi's long-winded explanations that Liang Jingfeng had swallowed up all the family property, so they were unwilling to get close to her.

Aside from Linzhi and Liang Zhouchuan, everyone else seemed to enjoy the meal.

In particular, Liang Zhoushan's attention was entirely on Liang Hanyue, and he would say from time to time, "Eat more, I don't know if the food in Nancheng will suit your taste."

"I'll have Jingfeng find a chef in the capital to cook you dishes from the capital when you come back."

Lin Zhi was furious. This girl only comes back a few times a year, and they even specially found a cook for her just so she could have a meal when she comes back.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, according to custom, Liang Zhoushan had to give red envelopes to the unmarried younger generation.

In previous years, Liang Jingfeng would receive a red envelope, but this year he got married, so he didn't receive one and gave it directly to Liang Zhuo.

When the money was sent to Liang Hanyue, in addition to a thick red envelope that was clearly visible, Xia Wu also brought a small wooden box.

Upon opening the box, one is greeted by an ivory-white jade pendant, with a lifelike dragon carved into it.

Lin Zhi realized something and exclaimed, "Big brother, this is our Liang family heirloom!" Liang Zhoushan ignored her and handed it directly to Liang Hanyue, saying, "Take it."

"Big brother..." Liang Zhouchuan, who had been silent all along, couldn't hold back any longer, "Even if we're going to pass it on, it should be to Jingfeng. It's not appropriate for a girl like her to hold it."

Although they share the same surname Liang, if they marry and have children who do not bear the surname Liang, this family heirloom will fall into the hands of outsiders.

"I don't have the final say in the Liang family now?" Liang Zhoushan raised his head slightly, exuding an air of authority without being angry.

"Brother, that's not what I meant," Liang Zhouchuan quickly explained. "It's just that her father is an illegitimate child..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Zhoushan slammed his hand on the table with a loud "smack".

Everyone shuddered in fright and fell silent.

Especially the younger ones, they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Liang Hanyue said calmly, "Grandpa, he said my father was an illegitimate child. If my father were alive, it would be fine, but now that he has been dead for so many years, he is still being slandered. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Liang Zhoushan felt a pang of sorrow when he thought of Liang Ying and his son. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the ancestral hall tonight and kneel down to reflect on your actions."

Lin Zhi immediately objected, "Brother, are you even being reasonable?"

Her husband is so old, yet he was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. Not only could his body not withstand it, but he also lost face.

Liang Zhoushan remained unmoved. "You want to kneel down with him?"

A simple sentence shut Lin Zhi up.

Liang Zhoushan took a deep breath, his slow tone filled with unassailable authority, "Listen up to me tonight, all of you. If I hear another word that slanders Aying, Cishu, or Yueyue, not even a single word, I will not let you off lightly."

"Understood, Dad." Liang Jingfeng glanced at Liang Hanyue and took the lead in expressing his agreement.

Others followed suit.

Liang Zhoushan was exhausted, so he told them to go play by themselves and asked Xia Wu to help him back to his room to rest.

Liang Zhouchuan was punished by being made to kneel in the ancestral hall. Lin Zhi glared fiercely at Liang Hanyue and went back to her room.

Liang Jingfeng, at his age, doesn't go out anymore. After giving them red envelopes, he went to rest.

As soon as he left, Liang Teng asked excitedly, "So, what's the plan for tonight?"

"What arrangements?" Liang Zhuo asked.

"Liang Xiaosi can't just stay home and watch the Spring Festival Gala on his first trip back to Nancheng for the New Year!" Liang Teng stared wide-eyed, his eyes full of disdain.

Liang Huan complained, "I think you just wanted to go and have fun."

"You don't want to?" Liang Teng asked back.

Liang Huan didn't say anything. She preferred going out to play with them rather than listening to her grandmother nag at home.

"How about we go see the fireworks show first, and then go to a bar and party until dawn!" Liang Teng suggested.

Liang Zhuo: "Agreed."

Liang Huan raised her hand: "Agreed!"

Liang Hanyue pursed her lips: "So it's no use me objecting."

"The principle of majority rule applies; your objection is invalid." Liang Teng put his arm around her shoulder and laughed, "Let's go, Liang Xiaosi!"

To avoid being separated, Liang Zhuo drove, Liang Teng sat in the passenger seat, and the two girls sat in the back seat.

Fearing parking difficulties, I didn't drive all the way to my destination but stopped nearby.
