Chapter 740: 457 Huo Family’s long-lost daughter? Old Master Huo becomes a wild man? (2 more updates)_2

Liang Yun stood before Shen Shuci as she spoke.

This gesture alone spoke volumes about her bias.

She was here to support Shen Shuci.

The Liang Family members widened their eyes, and the crowd below was in an uproar.

"The Huo Family is backing Shen Shuci? What’s going on?"

"Shen Shuci is really too bold! With Xiaowu, several Jiang brothers to back her, and even the Huo Family supporting her, she’s really got a lot of face!"

"Could all this be a setup by the Jiang Family and the Huo Family? I knew it. Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Jiang have been close friends for years; how could they suddenly fall out?"

"If this is all an act, it’s totally unnecessary. After all, without the Huo Family stepping in, the Jiang Family could easily crush the Liang Family. Why bother going to all this trouble?"

...

Everyone was utterly confused!

As Liang Wenzhong held the microphone, his hand trembled slightly. "Mrs. Huo, aren’t we relatives? What are you doing..."

"You must be curious, why, being relatives, we haven’t had any contact for so many years, and if it weren’t for the Liang Family falling into this situation and having no one else to turn to, Elder Liang wouldn’t have come to the Huo Family himself."

Liang Wenzhong glanced instinctively at his own father; even he had only recently learned of this kinship with the Huo Family.

"That’s because the old man has his pride. If it weren’t for the downfall of the Liang Family, he wouldn’t have lowered his pride to ask for my help!"

"Right, Elder Liang?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Indeed, until now, no one had ever heard about any relation between the two families.

"Ah..." Elder Liang, leaning on Dong Yunxiu one hand and holding a cane with the other, tried to stand up.

Liang Yun looked at Liang Wenzhong. "You asked me, aren’t we relatives?"

"Just like Elder Liang said to my father over thirty years ago, what kind of relatives are we? Right, old man? We, the poor relatives, were never a match for your family."

Poor relatives?

What the hell?

The crowd murmured softly, but deep down, they all knew that Liang Yun’s family was very ordinary, just the most average working class.

Upon hearing her start talking like this, Elder Liang trembled, wanting to say something, but his throat was choked up, and he couldn’t speak.

"But I should thank you, after all, because my family was too poor back then to afford my education, which led me to choose to attend a military academy, where I met my current husband. I never thought that one day, you..."

"Would be begging me!"

Military academies have national subsidies and guaranteed job placement—good choices for someone of insufficient financial resources, albeit often requiring enduring more hardships than ordinary people.

Liang Yun... she truly gritted her teeth and got through it!

"You know very well that during difficult times, you offered no help and couldn’t face me. You wouldn’t have thickened your face to come this time if you hadn’t been desperate!"

People finally began to see the reason behind it all.

They say never despise the poor youth; indeed, it was something like that.

Every family has relatives who may not be well off. Perhaps the Liangs had sought help from Elder Liang in the past, but he couldn’t have predicted that Liang Yun would one day marry into the Huo Family, overshadowing them...

The Liang Family’s power was waning fast, a setting sun, incomparable to the Huo Family.

"Since you didn’t want to help us at all, why did you even agree to come!" Liang Wenzhong also deduced the reason. Knowing there was past resentment, why did she still come with such an attitude?

"Didn’t you beg me to come? I am someone..." Liang Yun chuckled softly.

"Who’s always had a soft heart!"

Everyone: "..."

Liang Yun’s methods were certainly not as ruthless as Huo Zheng’s. Likely in a high position, she had also seen bloodshed. Speaking of having a soft heart?

"You..." Elder Liang finally cleared his throat enough to sputter a few words, "You... did it on purpose."

Being so old, he had indeed seen many storms. By her demeanor alone, he instantly understood...

"Jiang Xiaowu, what does Elder Liang mean by that?" Qi Zeyan turned to Jiang Jinsang.

Everyone was aware that the Huo Family hadn’t come to help out of kindness. There was a grudge involved.

The Liang Family was really...

Crumbling as everyone pushed.

Jiang Jinsang twiddled his fingers. "Aunty played a game of chess, deliberately pulling the rug from under them."

Jiang Shiyi: "Cutting off the Liang Family’s escape routes."

"It’s often said that those who play tactics have dirty minds, and it’s absolutely true," Jiang Yanting added.

By now, everyone had also come to their senses...

It was because the news spread that the Huo Family would support the Liang Family that they had spent a great deal of effort and money to organize this charity event, specifically connecting various networks, renting this venue, and just now, Liang Wenzhong had even donated over ten million yuan to the welfare home...
