Liang Shi: "?"
The astonishment on her face was so obvious that Yu Wan explained, "It's from my family."
Liang Shi nodded slowly, still thinking that Liang Xinzhou had already returned to Dongheng.
While waiting for Liang Xinzhou's meeting to end, Liang Shi learned from Yu Wan that Liang Xinzhou's cell phone had been switched off for several days, as if he had vanished into thin air, and no one could find him.
Yu Wan also cooperated by turning off her private phone number, so no one in the Liang family could find them.
This house was also bought by Yu Wan before, so even if the Liang family finds out, they won't be able to locate it.
Moreover, Liang's father and Qiu Zimin are currently angry with Liang Xinzhou and will not be looking for him at all.
After all, children have always been focused on the family business and eager to get more shares, but Liang Xinzhou's decision to abandon the project means that he is withdrawing from the succession struggle.
In everyone's eyes, such a large company would only leave Liang Xinzhou with regrets, so in the end, Liang Xinzhou would definitely be the one to bow his head and go home first.
But Liang Xinzhou didn't care.
He joined the company to help his father, thinking that once Liang Xinhe was able to get the hang of things, he would have time to help Yu Wan.
Now that this has happened, he has taken over the affairs that Yu Wan was in charge of, and Yu Wan's parents trust him very much, mainly because they have no objection to Yu Wan's decisions.
The two of them live here, seemingly seeking refuge from the world.
After hearing this, Liang Shi couldn't help but sigh, "I'm glad you're all having a good time here. I was worried that my elder brother would be troubled by the Liang family's affairs."
“It must be annoying.” Yu Wan sighed. “After all, your older brother is a man of deep feelings. I smelled alcohol on him the night before last.”
"Your well-being is the priority right now, so focus on your pregnancy," Liang Shi advised her. "Don't worry about these things, your older brother will definitely take care of everything."
After Liang Shi finished speaking, Yu Wan stared at her intently.
"What's wrong?" Liang Shi awkwardly touched his nose. "Did I say something wrong?"
Yu Wan shook her head and chuckled, "Your older brother said the same thing before."
Liang Shi: "..."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Liang Shi sighed, "Perhaps it's because my elder brother has always been someone who can be trusted."
Liang Xinzhou is indeed a reliable person.
He will take on everything and make sure everyone has a smooth life.
People who have always lived a smooth life will not appreciate his efforts.
This is also why Liang Shichao got angry at Liang Xinhe that day; she herself was angry at what she said.
Not long after, Liang Xinzhou came down from the meeting. When he saw Liang Shi, he only nodded slightly and did not show any affection. The only clues that could be seen from his usually calm eyes were that he was happy, because his pupils were shining.
Liang Shi and he didn't have much to talk about. Talking too much about the Liang family's affairs could easily make people sad, and she now clearly considered herself an outsider to the Liang family, so she kept quiet about the Liang family's affairs.
They only asked him if he still planned to return to Dongheng.
Liang Xinzhou's answer was very Zen-like: "Let it be."
Liang Shi understood that the deeper meaning behind those words was: whether the Liang family still needed him.
If there is a sufficient need, Liang Xinzhou will still go back.
"Oh, right," Liang Shi said, "My second brother asked me to contact you, but I refused and ignored him."
"Well done." Liang Xinzhou placed the plate of fried milk in front of her without making a sound. "He's quite busy right now, so don't take up his time."
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Liang Xinzhou asked.
Liang Shi teased, "Big brother, you're actually being sarcastic towards second brother."
Liang Xinzhou glanced at her: "I'm telling the truth."
“Second brother is having a really tough time right now.” Liang Shi shook his head. “He’s working himself to death, he’s probably about to explode.”
“He brought it on himself,” Liang Xinzhou said. “He doesn’t even think about when I ever harmed him.”
Liang Xinzhou spoke with a hint of resentment.
Liang Shi comforted him, "Don't you know him best? Second Brother is just too soft-hearted, and so is Second Sister-in-law. They are both very good people, and they must be caught in the middle right now."
“This is also a lesson for him.” Liang Xinzhou lowered his eyes. “There aren’t many perfect things in the world.”
Liang Shi deeply understood and expressed his agreement.
In fact, Liang Shi had considered that the Liang family would have conflicts because of Guo Xinran's arrival. After all, before Guo Xinran came, the person who was arrogant and domineering in the family was the original owner of the body.
Even though the original owner of this body had a quirky and violent personality, she would never bully her own family. When Liang Xinzhou scolded her, she would just let it go in one ear and out the other. She would not hold a grudge, nor would she seek revenge. She would not even complain to Qiu Zimin, who had always been biased towards her, so that Qiu Zimin could seek justice for her.
The same applies to Qiu Zimin.
Even if she were biased towards the original owner, she wouldn't cause trouble for the original owner's eldest son, whom she was always proud of. Even if she heard Liang Xinzhou scolding Liang Shi, she would at most lend a word or two to him.
But things are different when Guo Xinran comes back. Even though she is very well-behaved and the whole family indulges her, when the whole family lives together, with children and pregnant women, who should give way to whom?
It's hard to draw a definitive conclusion.
As a newcomer integrating into a new environment, it's difficult to find a solution that satisfies both needs and desires.
Either everyone moves out, or they stop recognizing their relatives.
Otherwise, an argument will break out sooner or later.
As a result, Guo Xinran stepped on a bomb on her very first day.
Liang Shi could only say that Liang Xinzhou had turned misfortune into blessing.
This provided a convenient excuse to move out of the old house, making it easier for Yu Wan to focus on her pregnancy.
After having dinner at Liang Xinzhou's house, Liang Xinzhou asked her some questions about work. Liang Shi gave her a brief explanation, and Liang Xinzhou nodded as if he understood.
These are not matters of Liang Xinzhou's expertise, but Liang Xinzhou had previously acquired a brokerage firm and instructed Liang Shi to ensure that he had a professional team, otherwise it would be too much work for one person.
After saying all this, Liang Xinzhou asked her to pass on a few words to Xu Qingzhu.
Liang Shi was completely clueless about this kind of thing, so he simply wrote it down on a sticky note and sent it to Xu Qingzhu.
Xu Qingzhu replied directly: Who told you that?
Liang Shi truthfully replied: "Elder brother."
Xu Qingzhu: Thank you, brother.
Liang Shi later heard from Xu Qingzhu that the suggestions Liang Xinzhou had given her would play a key role in the later operation of Minghui Jewelry.
Because those were the pitfalls Dongheng encountered when expanding its listing, and as a similar company with overlapping businesses, Minghui is going to follow the same path that Dongheng once took.
It was only then that Liang Shi realized Liang Xinzhou's selfless love for his younger sister.
It is a love that transcends blood ties and kinship.
At this moment, Liang Shi was like a ruthless messenger.
Before Liang Shi left, Liang Xinzhou gave her a key, a door lock code, and a bank card.
Liang Shi: "?"
"Why?" Liang Shi waved his hand in refusal. "I really don't want to. Didn't we already say that last time?"
"Take it." Liang Xinzhou frowned. "I've already had the house transferred to your name. From now on, it's your house."
Liang Shi: "..."
"I didn't give you a gift when you got married," Liang Xinzhou said. "Consider it your wedding present."
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Xinzhou seems to be making amends for the mistakes made by Qiu Zimin.
Because Qiu Zimin sold her villa in Repulse Bay, Liang Xinzhou wanted to return a house to her.
This realization made Liang Shi's heart skip a beat.
She initially wanted to keep her distance from the Liang brothers because she thought that no matter what, they were Qiu Zimin's biological sons. Even if they knew what Qiu Zimin had done, they would only feel uncomfortable in their hearts, but the blood relationship could not be severed. But it was different for Liang Shi.
She really wanted to expose what Qiu Zimin had done to the world.
Liang Shi wanted to return the darkness and hatred that Qiu Zimin had inflicted on a young girl, the obsession that drove her mad.
He even considered driving Qiu Zimin insane.
Liang Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked very seriously, "Brother, are you making it up to me on behalf of your mother?"
This question is very clear-cut.
Even Yu Wan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown. She first looked at Liang Shi, opened her mouth as if she wanted to lecture her, but then pursed her lips, probably because she didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the siblings.
But Liang Xinzhou calmly countered, "What do you mean?"
Liang Shi stood there, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Because I lost the house in Repulse Bay, you're giving me another one. Because she brought her biological daughter back, you're compensating me with money, so... are you compensating me on her behalf?"
Liang Xinzhou is also very serious, and he is quite charming when he frowns and thinks.
After a long silence, Liang Xinzhou adjusted his glasses, his voice calm and reassuring, "Giving you the house and the card was a voluntary act, unrelated to anyone else."
Liang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, Liang Xinzhou stared straight at her and said coldly, "I'm more interested in knowing what Mom did to you?"
Liang Shi: "..."
"What exactly happened at Qin Lishuang's house that day?" Liang Xinzhou asked.
Liang Shi asked in confusion, "Qin Lishuang? Who's that?"
Liang Xinzhou was even more confused: "You don't remember?"
After a long silence, Liang Shi came out and said, "Brother, I actually hit my head a while ago and forgot some things, and I gradually remembered some things."
Liang Xinzhou: "...Amnesia?"
Liang Shi nodded obediently.
But Liang Xinzhou asked, "So what did you slowly remember?"
“Just some things from my childhood,” Liang Shi said. “There are also some other miscellaneous things, but I remember the important ones, but I don’t remember this Qin Lishuang you mentioned.”
"When you were little?" Liang Xinzhou's focus wasn't on Qin Lishuang, but rather on asking, "You remember things from when you were little?"
