While Liang Jiahao was sitting in the living room, the servant quickly brought the tea. He thanked her and looked around until he saw a staircase to the second floor. His eyes darkened.
His little girl must be suffering at this moment.
Qin Shaoqiang greeted Liang Jiahao with a smile. "Brother Liang, why do you suddenly come to visit us today?"
Liang Jiahao looked away, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. He chuckled and said, "If I told you that I came here specifically to visit you and aunt, would you believe me?"
"Ah?" Qin Shaoqiang was stunned and could not respond for a while.
To visit his family?
This ...
"Haha ..." Qin Shaoqiang rubbed his hand. "You are not here by coincidence?"
Liang Jiahao shook his head seriously. "No."
Qin Shaoqiang's thoughts were spinning fast. Suddenly, he thought of something and his face turned pale. "Could it be... Is it because something happened to our company's loan?"
At this moment, Qin Shanyuan walked down the stairs and saw a guest in the living room. He walked over curiously. When he saw Liang Jiahao, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed happily, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Liang Jiahao: "...."
The seniority in this big family was really a bit too outrageous!
Qin Shanyuan saw Liang Jiahao's expression turn bad and he quickly took an apple from the fruit plate and handed it to him. "Uncle, did something happens to our company's loan?"
Liang Jiahao looked at the apple and sighed.
This sigh scared Qin Shaoqiang and Qin Shanyuan to death.
They both looked at each other and felt like the sky was going to collapse.
The three men sat there in silence for a long time. If Lin Xiu hadn't broken the awkward silence, Qin Shaoqiang and Qin Shanyuan would surely piss themselves.
Liang Jiahao's aura was too strong. He just sat there and said nothing, but it was enough to scare them half to death.
"It's dinner time. Don't sit there any longer, let's eat."
Qin Shaoqiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile. "Brother Liang, let's eat. If there's anything, we can talk while we eat."
• • • •
Qin Shaoqiang took out a bottle of good wine and poured it for himself and Liang Jiahao.
He raised his glass and said, "Brother Liang, let's toast each other."
Without saying anything, Liang Jiahao raised his glass and toasted with Qin Shaoqiang's before finishing it in one gulp.
Liang Jiahao felt that one glass wasn't enough, and so, he poured another glass for himself and Qin Shaoqiang.
Qin Shaoqiang's tolerance to alcohol was not so good. After five glasses, he felt a little drunk. He held Liang Jiahao's hand and sighed. "It's really not easy to do business now. How can someone develop a new project without funds? Brother Liang, tell me the real reason. Did something happen to our loan and that's why you came to visit us today?"
Liang Jiahao shook his head. "No."
"No?" Qin Shaoqiang almost cried. "Then why did you personally come to my house? Just be truthful to me. I'll be fine. My heart's condition is very good, and my mental endurance is also very strong. Tell me, I can handle it."
Liang Jiahao took the wine bottle and poured another glass for Qin Shaoqiang. After seeing him drinking, Liang Jiahao then said neither hurriedly nor slowly. "I heard from others that you all have a deep misunderstanding about me, so I came here today to clear it up."
"Misunderstanding?" Qin Shaoqiang was taken aback. "How is that possible? What kind of misunderstanding could we possibly have towards you?"
Lin Xiu and Qin Shanyuan also nodded in confusion. "Yes, why would there be a misunderstanding between us?"
Liang Jiahao raised his eyebrow and glanced at their faces. His cold voice suddenly became deep. "Am I that bad?"
Bad?
Qin Shaoqiang stared at Liang Jiahao with his eyes wide open. He paused, not knowing what to say.
His character was upright, his actions were swift and decisive, and he was the appointed CEO of China Securities Bank. In just a few months, his reputation and character had been the talk among people in the business circles.
Although he was heartless and merciless in his actions, this only proved that he was a person of integrity, who was not easily deceived by benefits or temptations.
Can such a man be called bad?
Certainly not!
What a fine young man he was.
Lin Xiu felt the word "bad" sounded familiar, but she thought of nothing.
She smiled and stood up, picked up the wine bottle, and personally poured the wine for Liang Jiahao. "Who is chewing behind our family's back? How can someone like us say such embarrassing words? Hehe...Jiahao, don't listen to other people's nonsense. It's not something you should take to heart."
Qin Shaoqiang and Qin Shanyuan finally reacted and nodded at the same time.
Qin Shanyuan put his hand on his heart and expressed his loyalty to Liang Jiahao. "Uncle, this is impossible! Others may not know about your character, but how can our family not know? The person who said that you are a bad man definitely has no eyes!"
Liang Jiahao's lips twitched a little. He picked up the glass and drank the wine in one gulp. Putting down the glass, he looked up at Lin Xiu and chuckled. "I heard that I am not only a bad man in your eyes, but also an old man who needs a woman's care?"
"W-what?" Lin Xiu was a little frightened by the faint smile on Liang Jiahao's lips. From his tone, it sounded like a joke, but his expression showed that it wasn't.
Lin Xiu shook her head vigorously. "No! That's completely impossible. How can you need a woman to raise you? You are not an old man either, you are so heroic and mighty!"
Liang Jiahao nodded and asked again, "Then my family is full of old and weak people. Does that refer to my grandparents and my sister?"
Lin Xiu: "..."
Why did these words seem so familiar the more she heard them? As if she had heard them somewhere before.
But where had she heard them before?
Lin Xiu cannot remember anything.
Qin Shaoqiang was already drunk. When he heard this, he got so angry that his face turned red. "Who is this person?! Did he deliberately try to sow discord between our two families?"
"Brother Liang!" Qin Shaoqiang held Liang Jiahao's hand, and the more he said it, the angrier he became. "Tell me, who is the person who is saying so much nonsense about our family? I want to see if I can tear his mouth!"
Liang Jiahao narrowed his eyes. "Someone who is weak told me."
The three people of the Qin Family were confused. Thinking back to what Liang Jiahao had said just now, it took them a long time to realize that it was Liang Zixuan.
Liang Zixuan?
How could she say such words?
Lin Xiu blinked hard and said grievingly, "Did Zixuan misunderstand something? How can we say such a thing?"
Qin Shanyuan angrily nodded his head. "Aunt must have misunderstood something. Uncle, don't take it to heart. Tomorrow, I will explain this matter to her."
"No need." Liang Jiahao saw that he had scared the whole family. A smile appeared on his face as he patted Qin Shanyuan's shoulder. "Don't worry, I have already said it, I am here today to clear up this misunderstanding."
Qin Shanyuan: "..."
How could he not be nervous?
Saying that Liang Jiahao was bad and that his family was old and weak; this was a huge misunderstanding!
"Uncle, I want to stay calm, but ..."
Liang Jiahao smiled. "Let's talk about something else."
Qin Shaoqiang, Lin Xiu, and Qin Shanyuan nodded in relief. They had wanted to end this topic since a long time ago.
Liang Jiahao picked up his chopsticks, picked up a pork chop, and put it in his bowl. Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly stopped.. He looked around doubtfully. "Did we miss someone?"
