Chapter 1819: Life’s Motto
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At Liang Xianghe’s house in a certain ministry’s compound.
After returning to Yanjing, Liang Ruoxu planned to go home.
However, something happened in the morning that made Liang Ruoxu give up on going home.
Because her relationship with Lin Yi had been exposed online.
Shen Shuyi was calm after hearing the news. She had known about this long ago, but she kept it to herself and waited for Lin Yi to deal with it himself.
However, she did not expect to be exposed at this juncture.
Shen Shuyi could smell a conspiracy here.
However, Liang Cunxiao and Liang Xianghe were furious about the situation. If it hadn’t been for her grandmother, Yang Yuhua, protecting her, she would have faced a severe scolding!
Despite their anger, the Liang family mobilized all their resources to suppress the incident swiftly.
Now, relevant information could already be found online.
In Shen Shuyi’s view, the other party’s actions were merely to upset the Liang family.
The incident could only spread within a limited scope.
The Liang family held significant influence in the media industry. Not only mainstream media but even online self-media dared not say much.
Moreover, for paparazzi and self-media, reporting on celebrity gossip was far more meaningful than this.
For the wealthy, such scandals were commonplace, generally accepted as normal.
Thus, this matter didn’t cause widespread online dissemination.
The Wang family had two objectives in doing this.
The first was to let Ji Qingyan know about it, and the second was to upset the
Liang family.
Once news of Lin Yi’s death returned, he would surely be posthumously honored as a martyr. At that point, this information would resurface online.
This way, Lin Yi’s reputation would be utterly ruined!
“Why are you frowning? You haven’t eaten for a day.’
Yang Yuhua served the dishes and placed them in front of Liang Ruoxu.
“I’m not hungry. I won’t eat for now,” Liang Ruoxu said listlessly.
Liang Ruoxu didn’t care if her relationship with Lin Yi was exposed.
She had thought about this a long time ago and was already prepared for the
worst.
But after so many days, there was still no news of Lin Yi. Her heart was still in
her throat.
“Look at the time. You only had some porridge in the morning. If you don’t eat for the whole day, your stomach won’t be able to take it.” Yang Yuhua advised earnestly.
“You don’t have to worry about your father and grandfather either. As long as
I’m alive, I’d like to see who dares to criticize you.”
Yang Yuhua had always been like this. She would not reason with Liang Ruoxu but would also not side with her for no reason.
“I didn’t even think about them.”
Liang Ruoxu had also given up. Although it had greatly affected her reputation, site had no time to care about it.
After losing contact for such a long time, who wouldn’t be worried?
“In this situation, it’s useless even if you’re worried. You still have to eat.” Yang Yuhua said.
“There might be news at some point. Although I’ve never seen what he looks like, I’m sure you won’t be wrong about a young man who caught your eye.”
Liang Ruoxu tilted his head and looked at Yang Yuhua. “Grandma, aren’t you angry with me?”
“Wiry would I be angry?”
“This is a disgrace to the Liang family.”
“Family reputation? We’re just ordinary people, what family reputation do we have? Do you really thinkyou’re royalty?” Yang Yuhua scoffed.
“Your grandfather was a peasant, eating cornmeal every day as a child. Nowadays, that’s just pig feed. If your great-grandfather hadn’t taken pity on him and brought him home to help out, he might have starved to death. There would have been no chance for him to go to war.”
Seeing Yang Yuhua’s dismissive expression, Liang Ruoxu smiled. She loved hearing her elders’ stories from the past.
“If my grandfather heard this, he would definitely be upset.”
“Why would he be upset? I’m already being subtle. The real situation was even worse,” Yang Yuhua said.
“And I just can’t stand all this nonsense about family rules and reputation. It’s something the rich fuss over, making a big deal out of nothing.”
“But I still feel a bit sorry for the Liang family. My mom, dad, and grandfather
are all respectable people. People will laugh at them.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.” Yang Yuhua held Liang Ruoxu’s hand, stroking it repeatedly, as if she couldn’t get enough. She spoke meaningfully.
“In this world, what’s the most important thing? Money, of course. If you can’t eat, you lose your life, and nothing else matters.”
“But when you have enough money, what’s the most important thing? It s definitely feelings.”
“Look at your parents. With their status, young men and women would love to attach themselves to them. But all these years, they’ve done well, never betraying each other. Without genuine feelings, they couldn’t have done that.”
“But I’m not as good as them.”
“Why not? It’s fine as long as you think this relationship is real.
Yang Yuhua said nonchalantly,
“Outstanding people are always attractive. You just have to think that you’re right. Many years later, you can pat your chest and say that you don’t regret it. This is good enough.”
Yang Yuhua said earnestly, “Sometimes, you can’t overthink it. If you think too much, you won’t be able to do anything. Life only lasts a few decades. As long as you live comfortably and can be good to yourself, it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with being a little selfish.”
“Grandma, you’re too open-minded. I’m not as good as you.”
“I’ve got one foot in the grave already, and I’ve come to see things more clearly. People aren’t machines. They spend their lives rushing around, and when they get old, they feel like they’ve let themselves down. What’s the point of all that hustle and bustle? It’s just for some comfort in life.”
Liang Ruoxu nodded, somewhat understanding but not fully grasping the concept yet.
“Your grandfather, your father, even your mother, they’re all constantly busy. What are they striving for? A good life? Definitely not. The Liang family has enough money to last several lifetimes. It’s their desires pushing them forward. So don’t follow their example. Do what makes you happy. In a few decades, we’ll all be dust. The most important thing is to enjoy life while you can.”
Yang Yuhua’s open-mindedness enlightened Liang Ruoxu.
He realized that his grandmother was the one in the Liang family who truly understood life the best.
“Got it, Grandma. I know what to do now.”
“Good. As long as you understand. Now, finish your meal,” Yang Yuhua said, standing up.
“I bought a watermelon this morning. It’s really sweet. I’ll cut some for you.” “No need, Grandma. Don’t trouble yourself. Just sit with me for a while. I want to talk to you.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s chat for a bit. Who knows when you’ 11 be back once you leave?”
Ring ring ring—
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu’s phone rang. It was a call from Shen Shuyi.
Liang Ruoxu pursed his lips. “Grandma, pick it up. She’s probably calling me at this time to scold me.”
“She wouldn’t dare.” Yang Yuhua picked up the phone and turned on loudspeaker.
“What is it? What is it?” Yang Yuhua asked.
“Mom, where’s Little Mi?”
“She’s eating next to me.”
“Put her on.”
“Go ahead. She can hear you.”
“Ask her to come to Room 2208 of the Third Inpatient Department of Union
Medical Hospital…”
Before Shen Shuyi could finish, she paused for a few seconds. “Something happened to Lin Yi.”
